MLB | Sep 23, 2018 Twins vs A's |
A's -180 at YouWager |
Lost $180.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
| This is an 8* play on the Oakland A's. The A's have won four straight, and they trail Houston by 3.5 games in the AL West. I like Oakland to complete the sweep here against Minnesota on Sunday. Trevor Cahill will toe the slab for Oakland, and he's been lights out at home. The veteran is 5-0 with a 1.49 ERA in 10 home starts, and Oakland has won eight of his last 10 appearances. The Twins hand the ball to Kyle Gibson, who has lost four of his last five starts. The one game he won during that span was unimpressive, allowing five runs on 11 hits over 6 2/3 innings against the Royals. Jonathan Lucroy is 4-for-8 with a home run lifetime versus Gibson. Take OAK. GL, Jesse Schule | ||

MLB | Sep 23, 2018 Rays vs Blue Jays |
UNDER 8 -103 |
Won $100 |

This is an 8* play on [email protected] to go Under the total. After splitting the first two games of this series in Toronto, a pitcher's duel is expect in the rubber match. Blake Snell will toe the slab for Tampa, and he's won eight consecutive starts. The 25 year old tossed five scoreless innings in a 7-0 win at Toronto earlier this season. The Jays hand the ball to Ryan Borucki, who comes in off a string of solid starts. He tossed eight scoreless innings, striking out seven in a win over Baltimore his last time out. The under is 4-1 in Borucki's last five starts. Take Under. GL, Jesse Schule |

NCAA-F | Sep 23, 2018 Duquesne vs Hawaii |
Hawaii -29½ -110 at Bovada |
Lost $110.0 |
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
|
This is a 10* play on Hawaii. The Duquesne Dukes aren't coming to Hawaii to compete in a football game, they are on what is more like a paid vacation. This is like a sparring partner for a prize fighter, who is meant to be no more than a punching bag. Duquesne played UMASS in Week 1, and got blown out by a score of 63-15. The Minutemen aren't even a competitive FBS team, and they have since lost three straight games by 20 or more to Florida International, Georgia State and Boston College. Hawaii leads the nation in passing offense, and their quarterback Cole McDonald is the nation's leading passer. This is an opportunity for the Warriors to pad their stats, and I expect them to pile on the points. This should be a win by 50+. Take HAW. GL, Jesse Schule |

NFL | Sep 23, 2018 Patriots vs Lions |
Patriots -6½ -103 at pinnacle |
Lost $103.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
| This is a 10* play on the New England Patriots. New England is coming off an ugly 31-20 loss at Jacksonville, but they are in a good spot to bounce back with a convincing win here in Detroit on Sunday night. The Lions are coming off a 30-27 loss at San Francisco, but it would be a mistake to assume that was a close game. It was 30-17 halfway through the fourth quarter, and Detroit scored twice in garbage time. Former New England assistant Matt Patricia may have bitten off more than he can chew, leaving the Patriots to become the head coach in Detroit. Lions fans are already calling for heads to roll after a dismal start. The Pats have won their last four versus the Lions, all four of those games decided by at least seven points. My money is on a big bounce back for Belichick and Brady. Take NE. GL, Jesse Schule | ||

NFL | Sep 23, 2018 Packers vs Redskins |
Redskins +3½ -120 at 5Dimes |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
| This is an 8* play on the Washington Redskins. The Packers looked pretty bad in a Week 1 win over the Bears, needing to rally from a 17-0 halftime deficit. Then they opened up a 20-7 lead on the Vikings at home in Week 2, only to blow it and ended up settling for a tie 29-29. Aaron Rodgers has been playing hurt with a sprained knee, and he will not be 100 percent here in Washington. Rodgers has always been better at home, and Green Bay is just 7-9 straight up in their last 16 road games. The home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five head to head meetings, and I like the Skins plus the points at home. Washington actually out-gained Indy 334-281 last week, but they were hurt by costly penalties. Alex Smith could have a big day against a questionable Packers defense. Take WAS. GL, Jesse Schule | ||

NFL | Sep 23, 2018 Broncos vs Ravens |
OVER 43 -109 |
Lost $109.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is an 8* play on [email protected] to go Over the total. Both the Broncos and the Ravens are known for their defense, and because of that we see an extremely low total for this Sunday's game in Baltimore. The thing about this game that catches my eye, is how both these teams have leaned on their passing game. The Ravens ran 55 passing plays and just 22 running plays last week. In Week 1 they ran 38 passing plays and 34 running plays in a blowout win over Buffalo. Case Keenum has put up solid numbers in his firs two games in Denver, throwing for 551 yards and three TDs. History tells us we could see plenty of points here. The Ravens have gone over in 10 of their last 14 overall, and the over is 4-1 in the last five head to head meetings. Take Over.

NFL | Sep 23, 2018 Saints vs Falcons |
Falcons -163 at pinnacle |
Lost $163.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Falcons. Matt Ryan and the Falcons exercised some demons in last week's home win over Carolina, and I like their chances of rolling to another home win this week versus the Saints. New Orleans has been lit up by Ryan Fitzpatrick (nothing magic about a 35 year old backup quarterback) and Tyrod Taylor. The Browns outgained the Saints 327-275 in Week 2, and Tyrod Taylor had more passing yards than Drew Brees. If the Saints thought that Alvin Kamara would be able to make up the loss of Mark Ingram, they were wrong. Kamara has run for just 75 yards on 21 carries in two weeks. The Falcons are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games, and the home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take ATL. GL, Jesse Schule |

MLB | Sep 24, 2018 Pirates vs Cubs |
Cubs -147 at YouWager |
|
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is an 8* play on the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs are still just 2.5 games up on Milwaukee in the NL Central, and they can't afford to drop any points in a home series versus Pittsburgh. Cole Hamels will toe the slab for Chicago tonight, and he's been lights out at Wrigley. Hamels has lost three straight road starts, but he's 1-0 with a 1.30 ERA in his four starts in Chicago. The Pirates hand the ball to Jameson Taillon, who the Cubs have really roughed up over the years. Chicago is batting a combined .341 over 123 at bats in previous meetings versus the Pittsburgh ace. Javy Baez has really owned him, going 10-for-16 (.625) with a pair of home runs lifetime. Take CHC. GL, Jesse Schule |

NFL | Sep 24, 2018 Steelers vs Bucs |
OVER 54 -110 | |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is an 8* play on [email protected] to go Over the total. Until the NFL does something about the roughing the passer penalties on traditionally textbook quarterback sacks, it's going to be hard to bet on too many unders. Big Ben is going to be tough to stop if you aren't even allowed to hit him when he's scrambling. He might be on the wrong side of 30, and a little overweight, but he's proven to be one of the more elusive quarterbacks in the NFL. The Bucs defense has allowed over 400 yards of total offense in each of their first two games, and I expect the Steelers to pile on the points here in Tampa. Take Over. GL, Jesse Schule |

NFL | Sep 24, 2018 Steelers vs Bucs |
Steelers +1½ -106 at pinnacle |
|
| Play Type: Premium | ||
| This is an 8* play on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers come into Tampa Bay looking for their first win, but there are a long list of controversies plaguing this team. It's time for Big Ben and company to put up or shut up. This is it, do or die. They know their chances of coming back from an 0-2-1 hole aren't great. They know that the only way that people will stop asking questions about locker room issues will be to put a "W" on the board. The Bucs are 2-0, and fans are buzzing about "Fitzmagic". I have seen enough of Ryan Fitzpatrick over the years that I know it would be naive to think he's going to be magical every week. The Bucs are in danger of being humbled here at home by a desperate Steelers team. Take PIT. GL, Jesse Schule | ||

WHO IS THE ICEMAN? He’s no soothsayer and he doesn’t have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it’s actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly’s Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years. Career Highlights: - Perfect 5-0 Super Bowl Card (2018) - Perfect 6-0 NBA Finals Futures (2017) - Perfect 8-0 card X-Mas Day (2016) - Perfect 8-0 NCAA Tourney picks Sweet 16 - Final (2015) - Picked Germany +$700 to win World Cup (2014) - Picked Marcus Mariota +$700 to win Heisman (2014) Handicapping Methodology: Jesse is not a believer in systems, programs or number crunching formulas to handicap games. He is firm in his belief that you aren't playing against the sportsbook, you are playing against the average Joe (other bettors). Jesse is notorious for attacking inflated point spreads, soft lines and totals that are a little out of whack. He also relies on a nearly photographic memory with an uncanny ability to tell you a player's history and stats dating back for decades. Anyone can look up how many touchdowns a guy has scored, Jesse can also tell you about the ones that he almost scored. Money Management: His plays are rated based on a 5-10 star system, and he recommends wagering 0.2 percent of your bankroll per star rating. So a top rated 10* play would represent a bet equal to two percent of a player's bankroll. Signature Plays: AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER: This title is reserved for games with a start time between 12:00 – 4:30 ET. These are popular with action junkies who are dying for the games to get underway. The TERMINATOR: Jesse's signature totals play, the Terminator has established a reputation as one of the most consistent winners in Schule's repertoire. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: These plays represent a game where the stats show a significant trend which isn't reflected in the price. GRIM REAPER BLOWOUT: His signature play reserved for medium to large favorites. High percentage plays for those who don't mind laying chalk. HOT DIGGITY DOG: This is the Iceman's signature underdog play. About as rare as strawberries in December, you'll want to grab these whenever they are available |
