12-10-17 | 49ers v. Texans OVER 44.5 | 26-16 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 24 m | Show | |
The San Francisco 49ers have won two of their last three games after a last second field goal got them the win at Chicago last week. 15-14. The addition of QB Jimmy Garoppolo has given some life to this club. Garappolo got his first start against the Bears. The Niners will take on the 4-8 Texans with QB Tom Savage at the helm. The Texans have lost two straight games, both on the road. They return home where they have had lots of success this year. I like the OVER today, mainly because Houston has struggled on the road, but flourished at home. They shouldn't have trouble putting the ball in the end zone today against the 49ers. Take the OVER. |

12-07-17 | Saints +2.5 v. Falcons | 17-20 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 6 m | Show | |
The New Orleans Saints (9-3 S/U, 8-4 ATS) can increase their lead over the Falcons to three games with a win tonight. The Falcons 7-5 S/U) will hurt their post season chances if they lose tonight. Atlanta coming off a home loss to the Vikings, 9-14. Sure, the Vikings are one of the best defensive teams in the NFL. However, the offensive woes go much deeper than that for Atlanta and fall squarely on the shoulders of OC Steve Sarkisian. Sarkisian was brought in from San Francisco this year and pretty much derailed the best offense from last year. The offense is scoring 12 fewer points per game and ranks 11th in both passing and rushing yards. The Saints can win their 10th in their last 11 tonight. They are off a win over the Pathers, 31-21. The Saints are 13-3 ATS their last 16 road games and 12-2 ATS their last 14 vs the NFC South. The dog has covered 13 of the last 16 in this series and the road team is 4-1 last 5 meetings. Take the points tonight with the Saints. Line is moving in my direction as I look for a +3 here on the Saints. Play New Orleans. |

12-04-17 | Steelers -4 v. Bengals | Top | 23-20 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
The Steelers have a 1.5 game lead going into tonight's contest over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North. A loss tonight would put the Ravens just one game back. The Bengals are done at 5-6, though they could still have an outside shot at a Wildcard but it will take some help from other teams. Pittsburgh has won six straight games, but could be without star receiver Antonio Brown (Toe) who was downgraded to "?" tonight. The Bengals have won two straight, but that was against winless Cleveland and a terrible Denver team. The last two decent teams they played they lost, against Jacksonville and Tennessee. The offense has been terrible, ranked 26th in passing and 32nd in rushing. Though, rookie RB Joe Mixon is coming off his best game as a pro and may be ready to lead this ground game for the Bengals. The Steelers have the 4th best scoring defense, allowing just 17.5 yards per game. The Steelers have pretty much owned the Bengals, going 16-3-2 ATS their last 21 visits to Cincinnati and 20-7-2 ATS their last 29 meetings overall. I'm taking Pittsburgh tonight with or without Brown. |

12-03-17 | Eagles v. Seahawks +6 | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 21 h 3 m | Show | |
Ok everyone, we all know who has the better record and who has been the hottest team in the NFL. But folks we all know nothing is as simple as that. Right? Did you know the Eagles have faced the 29th rated defense in the league? Seattle is a tough place to play. We all know that and we all know they are hurting this year. But a wounded Seahawk is dangerous and that will be the story today. Take the Hawks in an upset |

12-03-17 | Giants v. Raiders -7.5 | 17-24 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 58 m | Show | |
Probably the squarest play on the board, but even the squares win occasionally. Actually, there are fundamental reasons for this play. Oakland is in dire straights to win the AFC West. Serious question marks exist if they may not be able to make it as a Wild Card. The Chargers and the Chiefs are their main competition. They must keep winning to stay alive. Well publicized the Eli Manning debacle has split the locker room for the Giants. Blow out city here with the Oakland Raiders. |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Giants v. Raiders UNDER 41.5 | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 17 h 56 m | Show | |
Looks like NY QB Eli Manning will see his record string of starts come to an end today as the Giants have decided to bench the veteran. Too bad for Eli as the Raiders have just one interception all season long. The Giants now will start Davis Webb. This could be very detrimental to this Giants team. They are benching a player that has led them for 210 straight games and won Super Bowls. Many think this is a pathetic move by HC McAdoo. The Raiders welcome this change since they are still fighting for a playoff spot in the wacky AFC East. The Raiders will be without a key offensive cog in WR Amari Cooper, who will sit with a concussion. With Eli on the bench and the Raiders missing some key players, I am sticking with the UNDER here tonight. |

12-03-17 | Chiefs v. Jets +3.5 | 31-38 | Win | 100 | 132 h 47 m | Show | |
How the Mighty have fallen. The Kansas City Chiefs are very fortunate to be playing in arguably the weakest division in football. Because otherwise, their playoff hopes would be fading quickly. Instead, they still remain in fist place in the AFC West with a 6-5 record after losing three straight and five of six games. The Chiefs lost to the Bills last week, a team that has been riddled with problems, 10-16. The Chiefs have company thought. The last three years there have been three teams that have started the season 5-0 and then lost their next five of six (Falcons 2015, Vikings 2016 and now Chiefs 2017). The Jets have played well, just keep coming up short week after week. Last week the team lost to the Panthers 27-35 and the week before to the Bucs, 10-15. The Jets playoff hopes are done, so why shouldn't they just pack it in for the year? Well, it's simple, they like their head coach and they will keep playing strong for Bowles. Remember, even though the Jets have lost five of their last six, each loss was by eight points or less. Right now we have two teams that have lost five of six. But I look at the Jets as a team that wants to compete right now and the Chiefs as a team that is looking for answers. Play the Jets. |

12-03-17 | Bucs v. Packers -2.5 | 20-26 | Win | 100 | 14 h 32 m | Show | |
It appears that Tampa Bay QB Jameis Winston will return today after suffering shoulder problems off and on for a majority of the season. There were high hopes at the start of the season for this Bucs team, loaded with talent on both sides of the ball. Now, they are just 4-7 and looking toward next season. The Bucs haven't been good to bettors either, going just 2-7-1 ATS their last 10 games. Tampa lost last week at Atlanta, 20-34, snapping their modest two-game win streak. Meanwhile, have to give credit to QB Hundley and the Packers for a great effort last week at Pittsburgh. The Pack lost 28-31, but hung around the entire game as a 14-point dog. The Packers are a small home favorite here. At this juncture of the season the Packers look to still be fighting hard. Play Green Bay. |
|||||||
11-30-17 | Redskins +1.5 v. Cowboys | 14-38 | Loss | -110 | 69 h 7 m | Show | |
If either of these two teams hope to keep their slim Wild Card chances alive, they must win this game. Both the Redskins and the Cowboys are 5-6 heading into this contest. Dallas has lost three straight games since they lost Ezekiel Elliot to his suspension. But most glaringly, is the fact that the offense just doesn't work without him. The Cowboys have scored 7, 9 and 6 points in the three games since his departure. The Redskins will have revenge on their minds here after being beaten by the Cowboys at home 33-19. Washington snapped its two game losing streak last week with a win over the Giants, 20-10. Both these teams had the extra rest after playing on Thanksgiving day. Hard for me to believe the oddsmakers made this game a 1 point favorite on Dallas. With Dallas not scoring more than a TD the last three games I don't know where they will get any scoring from here. I'm taking the Redskins to get their revenge. Play Washington. |
|||||||
11-27-17 | Texans +7.5 v. Ravens | 16-23 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
The 4-6 Houston Texans take on the 5-5 Baltimore Ravens tonight on Monday Night Football. The Texans are 6-4 ATS on the season while the Ravens are 5-4-1. Houston also plays well on the fieldturf, going 6-2 ATS in their last eight. Baltimore doesn't seem to do well against bad teams, evidenced by their 6-13-1 ATS mark the last 20 times against a team with a losing record. The loss of QB Watson was death blow to this Houston team. Savage has stepped in and thrown four TD's against three IND's, but his 71 QB rating is well below that of Watson's 103. Joe Flacco is also having a poor year, with nine TD's and 11 INT's and a QB rating of just 74.4. The twilight might be in the sky for the Raven's veteran signal caller. Houston did snap it's three game losing streak last week with a 31-21 win over Arizona. The Ravens shutout the Packers, 23-0 last week. I think this 7.5 point line is just too much for the Ravens to lay here on Monday. I'm taking the Texans and the points. |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Broncos v. Raiders -4 | 14-21 | Win | 100 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
Such high expectations from both of these teams at the start of the season. Now, both are looking toward next year. Denver (3-7) has lost six straight games and has the look of a team that has thrown in the towel. Oakland (4-6) has gone 2-2 their last four weeks and did show some promise when they beat KC 31-30 back in October. But we know how the Chiefs have played lately, so that win looks a bit tarnished. Still, this is the Raiders and the Broncos and both teams do get excited for this storied rivalry. The problem with the Broncos is that they have no QB, with rotations going on and neither signal called looking good. At least the Raiders have Derek Carr, who has under performed this year, but is still a very good QB. I'm backing the Raiders here, mainly because they are home and they have Carr. Take Oakland. |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Saints v. Rams OVER 53 | 20-26 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
The LA Rams look to distance themselves in the West standings as they sit atop the division with a 7-3 record. The Rams have dropped from the highest scoring team in the NFL to 2nd (30.3 ppg). They are top 10 in the NFL in rushing yards and passing yards. The Saints are 8-2 and in first place in the South. New Orleans is 3rd in scoring (30.2 ppg) and 2nd in passing yards and third in rushing yards. The last 10 meetings in LA between these teams has seen them go over eight times. They are 8-3 O/U their last 11 meetings over. I like these teams to go over here today despite the high total. |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Seahawks -6.5 v. 49ers | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 13 h 29 m | Show | |
This game has a lot of importance to Seattle both for the division and for the Wild Card playoff spots. The Seahawks lucked out getting San Francisco here today, because this is just the softball the team needed. The 49ers are just 4-12-1 ATS their last 17 against a team with a winning record. Home field hasn't meant much to the Niners either, going 3-9 ATS in their last 12 home games. Seattle's defense needs a bit of a rest game against a team like the 49ers that have score 10 points in three of their last four games. Of course the Seahawks have to move forward without CB Richard Sherman (Achilles) and S Kam Chancellor (neck) who are both out for the season. The 49ers will start QB C.J Beathard today. He was upgraded after injuring his thumb. Still, this is a game Seattle can't look past. I like the Seahawks defense to buckle down and get business done. Play Seattle. |

11-26-17 | Titans v. Colts OVER 45.5 | 20-16 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
The 6-4 Titans play the 3-7 Colts here today. Both these clubs have been good over plays. The Titans are 7-3 O/U on the season while the Colts are 6-4. In addition, the Titans are 10-2 O/U last 12 vs the AFC South. Neither team has much defense, with Tennessee allowing 25.3 points per game and the Colts 28 ppg. Four of the last five in this series has gone OVER and I look for another OVER here on Sunday. Play OVER. |

11-26-17 | Titans v. Colts +3.5 | 20-16 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
The 6-4 Titans play the 3-7 Colts here today. Both these clubs have been good over plays. The Titans are 7-3 O/U on the season while the Colts are 6-4. In addition, the Titans are 10-2 O/U last 12 vs the AFC South. Neither team has much defense, with Tennessee allowing 25.3 points per game and the Colts 28 ppg. The Titans have not played well against losing teams, going just 15-34-3 ATS their last 57 tries. They are also just a plain poor covering team, with a 17-42-4 ATS mark their last 63 overall games. On the road, how about 7-21 ATS and it goes on and on. The Colts had last week off, so they at least get to rest some players and prepare for this game. Coming off their bye, the Colts are 8-2 ATS the last 10 years. They are also 16-5 their last 21 games in November. The home team has covered four of the last five in this series and the Colts are 10-2 ATS the last 12 meetings. I'm taking the Colts on Sunday. |

11-23-17 | Giants v. Redskins -7 | 10-20 | Win | 100 | 49 h 27 m | Show | |
The NY Giants (2-8 S/U 4-6 ATS) play at the Washington Redskins (4-6 S/U, 4-6 ATS). The Giants maybe a terrible team, but they do come up with some big upsets. First it was the Broncos back in week 6 and last week they beat the Chiefs. Maybe the Giants need to join the AFC West? The offense still struggles, scoring 12 points last week and not over 24 in any game this season. The Giants average just 16.2 ppg this season and 308 yards of offense. Somehow the Redskins have a knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. They led the Saints by double digits late last week only to allow the Saints to score twice late in the game and then win in OT. Washington can score, averaging 23.8 ppg behind QB Kirk Cousins. The passing offense is 7th in the NFL and the club is 9th in total yards. The defense isn't all that good, ranking 31st in points allowed (26.6 ppg). I'm going to take the Redskins here, mainly because they are at home and will want a win for the home crowd on Thanksgiving. Take Washington. |

11-23-17 | Chargers v. Cowboys UNDER 48 | 28-6 | Win | 100 | 50 h 33 m | Show | |
The LA Chargers may only be 4-6 on the season, but they have played much better. The Chargers are coming off a shellacking of Buffalo last week, 54-24. The Chargers lost the previous two weeks by eight at New England at three at Jacksonville. They have now covered five of their last six games. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are struggling to score and fantasy owners are losing their patience. With Ezekiel Elliot suspended the club has scored 16 points in two games, both lopsided losses to Philly (9-37) and Atlanta (7-27). The offense and defense has both been horrible. The good thing is that the Chargers are not a high scoring team. Throw out that Buffalo game where they intercepted five passes. Before they they scored 17, 13, 21 and 17 points. In fact, this team has scored over 24 points just one time prior to their explosion over the Bills. I like today's game to go UNDER. Neither team should score much here especially the Cowboys who are in real trouble. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
11-23-17 | Vikings v. Lions +3 | 30-23 | Loss | -105 | 46 h 33 m | Show | |
Short week for both clubs coming off Sunday wins. The Vikings had their showdown with another first place team, the LA Rams. It was tied at half, but Minnesota pulled away in the second half for the win, 24-7. It was the club's six win in a row S/U and fifth ATS. The Lions also won at Chicago, 27-24, their third win in a row. However, their rush defense continues to give up way too many yards, about 114 per game compared to just 77 by the Vikings. QB Mathew Stafford is the highest paid player in the NFL, but Case Keenum continues to shine for Minnesota with 12 TD's and just five INT's. The public has moved this line from Detroit -1 to Minnesota minus three as of this writing. That has put me on Detroit here on Thursday. I like getting a field goal at home with Detroit that is always tough on their home court. Minnesota may also have a bit of a hangover from their LA win. Detroit is the play here on Thursday. |

11-20-17 | Falcons +1.5 v. Seahawks | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 21 h 2 m | Show | |
The Seahawks got some extra rest with four days off after playing early last week. The bad news is they lost corner Richard Sherman for the season with a ruptured Achilles. In addition, the Seahawks may be without safety Earl Thomas too. That is not good against a high powered Falcons throwing attack. Yes, the Falcons are not scoring near their 32 point average of last year. Part of that problem lies in the OC of Steve Sarkisian, who just hasn't gelled with the offense yet. The 6-3 Seahawks have scored more than 24 points just one time in their last five games. With Sherman out and possibly Thomas too, they may have to ramp that up a bit. The Seahawks are just 3-8 ATS their last 11 following a straight up win. I have to wait and see how these Seahawks play without key components of their defense. I'll take the points here tonight with Atlanta. |

11-19-17 | Eagles v. Cowboys UNDER 48.5 | 37-9 | Win | 100 | 58 h 58 m | Show | |
Have to wonder if the loss of RB Ezekiel Elliott isn't effecting the Dallas club more than they want to let on. Last week at Atlanta, they scored early and that was it. Of course even bigger is the loss of blind side tackle Tyron Smith. Smith could play this week, but if he doesn't, it will be a big hardship on Dak Prescot. The Cowboys can't afford to lose this game to the NFC leading Eagles. And they surely can't get into a shootout, they just don't have the offensive weapons at this point. The Eagles have the best record in the NFL at 8-1, a franchise QB in Carson Wentz and now have added Jay Ajayi who they acquired from Miami. This gives the club a very balanced attack now. I am taking the UNDER here on Sunday evening, mainly because I don't see Dallas putting many points on the board. Take UNDER |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Patriots v. Raiders OVER 55 | 33-8 | Loss | -110 | 54 h 3 m | Show | |
I am taking the over here because I expect the points to pile up with these offenses. This game will be played in Mexico, so no home field advantage. It's taken a bit of time, but the Patriots once again look to be the class in the AFC. QB Tom Brady has had multiple TD's and/or 300+ passing yards in each of his last eight games. Now he faces a Oakland defense ranked 26th in the league in defense. Brandon Cooks and Rob Gronkowski should have a field day against this secondary. This is the same secondary that allowed a mediocre Jay Cutler to pass for over 300 yards and three TD's their last games. If you think the super high elevation of 7280 feet will affect the Patriots, they weren't effected last week in Denver, which is a mile high. I fully expect the Patriots to score 40+ in this one. Take the over as your NFL Total of the Year! |

11-19-17 | Redskins v. Saints OVER 51 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 123 h 48 m | Show | |
The Saints get to return home here on Sunday to host the Redskins. The 7-2 Saints have now won seven in a row after a pair of losses. The defense, much maligned early in the year has been under rated and excellent, holding opponents to less than 17 points in each of the last four games. The Redskins had that improbable win at Seattle two weeks ago (17-14) but that has been the highlight of their recent play as they are just 1-3 their last four games and 1-5 ATS their last six. In addition, the defense has been giving up point in bunches, evidenced by their 38, 33 and 34 allowed in three of their last four games. Only the conservative Seahawks scored less than 20 points against them. The Redskins are now 10-1 O/U following an ATS loss, 13-3 O/U their last 16 aways games and 23-7 O/U their last 30 overall. The Saints are 11-3 O/U against a losing team, 12-5-1 O/U their last 18 at home and 4-0 O/U their last four against the Skins. I like the Saints to get a lot of points here, play the OVER. |

11-19-17 | Bucs v. Dolphins UNDER 42 | 30-20 | Loss | -107 | 51 h 37 m | Show | |
This is for bragging rights in Florida, though neither of these teams have much to brag about this year. This is the matchup that was scheduled for week 1, but got pushed back because of Hurrican Irma. That should have been an omen for these teams that this wasn't going to be either of their seasons. The Bucs beat the Jets last week as a home dog behind QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. One bit of good news for the Bucs is that they get WR Mike Evans back from his suspension. The Bucs are 2-8-1 their last 11 games on grass. The 4-5 Dolphins have a bad offense, 29th in passing yards, 30th in rushing yards and 32nd in points (15.2 ppg).The Bucs are 28th in rushing and 22nd in points (19.2). Don't expect either of these teams to find much offensive output here today. I'm taking the UNDER. |

11-19-17 | Lions v. Bears +3 | 27-24 | Push | 0 | 51 h 37 m | Show | |
Detroit struggled for much of the first half last week against winless Cleveland before Mathew Stafford took over in the second half. Tough to back a road Lions team that plays some strange football at times. They allowed 413 yards to the Browns of all teams, with 201 on the ground. Now they have to face the Bears predominant ground and pound. The Bears are no pushover at Soldiers field, beating the Steelers and the Panthers, with narrow misses to the Vikings and Falcons. I'm backing the Bears here on Sunday. |
|||||||
11-16-17 | Titans +7 v. Steelers | 17-40 | Loss | -110 | 58 h 14 m | Show | |
We fully expected a flat Steelers team last week laying double digits at the Colts and played on the Colts as our hi-roller Platinum Play. Now both clubs have just the four days off between games to prepare for this contest. The Titans are now 6-3 S/U and 3-5-1 ATS on the season while the Steelers are 7-2 S/U and 5-4 ATS on the year. The Titans have covered the last three in this series, winning two straight up. In addition, the Titans are on a four game win streak and have held all four opponents to 22 or less points. The Steelers are also on a four game win streak and have held their four opponents to 17 points or less. I expect a lower scoring contest here and with the Steelers lay at or on 7 points, I don't see them being able to cover this large a number. Play Tennessee |

11-13-17 | Dolphins v. Panthers UNDER 39 | 21-45 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 18 m | Show | |
The 4-4 Dolphins travel to Carolina to take on the 6-3 Panthers here on Monday Night Football. The Dolphins have lost their last two games to the Raiders and the Ravens. The latter they were shut out 40-0. The Panthers have won two straight games with wins over the Falcons and the Bucs. They have allowed just 20 points combined in their last two games. Miami has the 32nd ranked scoring offense in the league with a 14.5 ppg average. They are 29th in passing yards (192.6) and 30th in rushing yards (77.6). Yet they think they could afford to trade their top running back a few weeks ago, Jay Ajayi. Meanwhile, Carolina has the 4th rated scoring defense in the league (17.7 ppg), the 24th scoring offense in the league (18.7 ppg) and the 24th best passing (204.0 ypg). The Panthers should be able to keep the Miami offense from scoring much. The question is whether the Carolina offense will do much either. I don't think either team will score in bunches here on Monday. Therefore, I'm taking the UNDER. |

11-12-17 | Cowboys +3 v. Falcons | 7-27 | Loss | -100 | 40 h 10 m | Show | |
Is he or isn't he? That's seems to be the question every single week in the Ezekiel Elliot suspension drama. However, it looks like the best Cowboys weapon may have finally run out of options as his appeal was denied by an appeals court. So for now, he's OUT! The Cowboys will now turn to a trio of RB's in Alfred Morris, Rod Smith and Darren McFadden. Zak Prescott has 16 TD's and just four INT's this season. As for the Falcons, ever since they lost Kyle Shanahan to the 49ers this offense has been in shambles. They are 17th in the NFL in scoring with just 21.1 ppg. Finding the end zone has been a problem all season for the defending NFC Champs. Matt Ryan, last year's MVP, has just 11 TD's on the season much to the dismay of his Fantasy football owners. Julio Jones has just one TD and is struggling through an ankle injury. RB Devonta Freeman is also nursing a shoulder injury that has limited his production. The Falcons just can't seem to find any groove this year. The Cowboys, with or without Elliot, should have little problem winning this game. Play Dallas. |

11-12-17 | Giants v. 49ers UNDER 42 | 21-31 | Loss | -110 | 40 h 8 m | Show | |
Neither of these two struggling teams will light up much of the scoreboard here on Sunday. The Giants have gone UNDER in nine of their last 13 away games, while the Niners are 8-19 O/U in their last 27 home games. The 49ers still looking for their first win of the season as they sit at 0-9. This is a winable game against a struggling Giants team. Giants HC Ben McAdoo is on the hot seat as the team is just 1-7. Two such bad teams is a toss up as to who wins. SF might just got that monkey off their back, but I'm not risking it. Instead, I'll play the UNDER here as I expect both these offenses to spin their wheels for most of this game. Play UNDER |

11-12-17 | Jets -2.5 v. Bucs | 10-15 | Loss | -110 | 37 h 35 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay will be hard pressed to score points here on Sunday as their two best offensive weapons will miss this game. WR Mike Evans (Suspension) is out and QB Jameis Winston (Shoulder) is also expected to miss this contest. There were high expectations when the season began for the Bucs who are now 2-6 S/U and 1-6-1 ATS. Tampa has lost their last five games and is 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven. Meanwhile, the Jets are 4-5 S/U and 6-2-1 ATS. The Jets have also covered the last five games in this series. The Jets are a 2.5 point road chalk here, but not sure where the Bucs will score points here. I'll lay the points with the Jets. |

11-12-17 | Steelers v. Colts +10 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 37 h 34 m | Show | |
The bad news for Colts fans is that QB Andrew Luck is done for the year and possibly even his career. Time will tell. The Colts are 3-6 SU and 5-4 ATS on the season. This has been a very good November team, covering nine of the last 10 games in November. Pitt is 6-2 S/U and 5-3 ATS for the season. The Steelers have won three straight both S/U and ATS. The defense has been solid, holding their last three opponents to 15 points or less and four of the last five. The Colts also coming off a win, 20-14 at Houston. The win snapped a three game losing streak for the Colts. Pittsburgh is coming off its bye week, but surprisingly they are just 1-5 ATS the last six years after the week off. Colts are a double digit home dog, not something you see a lot of in the NFL. Pittsburgh has a habit of looking past bad teams like this one. Don't be surprised if the Colts give the Steelers all they can handle. Take Indianapolis. |

11-12-17 | Chargers +4.5 v. Jaguars | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 37 h 34 m | Show | |
The 3-5 LA Chargers travel East to play the 5-3 Jaguars. The Chargers had their bye week last week after a close, hard fought loss the week before at New England, 21-13. The loss snapped a three-game win streak for the Chargers. The Jags have won two straight games, outscoring the Bengals and Colts by a 50-7 margin. The Chargers have been very good to bettors on the road, posting a 12-5-1 ATS mark their last 18 away contests. In addition, the Chargers have covered the last six in this series. Getting 3.5 here with the Chargers who are playing very well of late is too much to pass on. Take LA. |
|||||||
11-12-17 | Saints v. Bills UNDER 48 | 47-10 | Loss | -110 | 37 h 33 m | Show | |
The Saints have rattled off six straight wins as they head to Buffalo. One thing you usually don't have in the same sentence is Saints and defense. However, the Saints have played very good defense. Buffalo has seen the UNDER in 12 of their last 21 games as a dog. The Saints are 5-9 O/U in their last 14 games against winning teams. Bills are tough at home, especially defensively. I look for this contest to go UNDER the total. |
|||||||
11-12-17 | Vikings v. Redskins | 38-30 | Win | 100 | 37 h 33 m | Show | |
The Vikings have covered three straight games, which means they are now 36-15 ATS in their last 51 games. Minnesota coming off a 33-16 win over Cleveland in London two weeks ago and had the week off last week. The Vikings lead the NFC North with a 6-2 record and trail just New Orleans for the No 2 seed in the conference. Washington saw their two game losing streak snapped last week with a big upset of the Seattle Seahawks, 17-14. The spread win was the club's first in their last five games. Minnesota the better of these two teams and laying just over a point here is fine with me. Play Minnesota. |
|||||||
11-09-17 | Seahawks v. Cardinals UNDER 41.5 | 22-16 | Win | 100 | 34 h 21 m | Show | |
The 5-3 Seattle Seahawks take on the 4-4 Arizona Cardinals tonight in Phoenix. The Seahawks are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games. Arizona is 3-12 O/U in their last 15 home games while Seattle is 3-7 O/U in their last 10 vs the NFC West. Seattle is coming off a loss at home to the Redskins , 17-14. The offense failed to score as it had the prior week against the Texans where they put up 41 points. Arizona is coming off a road win at San Francisco, 20-10. The Cardinals offense has been stagnant since losing starting QB Palmer to injury. The offense has relied heavily on veteran Adrian Peterson, who rushed for over 170 yards last week and has been used a lot. Neither one of these teams have much in the way of offensive explosiveness. I look for a ground and pound game here by both clubs. I'm going with the UNDER. |
|||||||
11-06-17 | Lions v. Packers +3 | 30-17 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
The 3-4 Lions travel to Wisconsin tonight to take on the 4-3 Packers. Both clubs come into this contest riding two-game losing streaks. The Packers have to go the rest of the way without QB Aaron Rodgers. Brett Hundley, the ex-UCLA standout, is the main guy right now. Hundley has completed just 52.5% of his passes for 244 yards, one TD and four INT's. Last week the Lions were 0-5 scoring TD's in the Red Zone. A lack of a solid running game has played a big reason for this Red Zone inefficiency. The Lions have had a 100 yard rushing effort just once this entire season. The Lions will also be fighting history in this game, having won just a single time in their last 26 trips to Lambeau Field. The Lions also don't like playing on grass, covering the spread just twice in their last 13 attempts. Detroit is just 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Green Bay. While this may not be the same Packers team, I look for them to do just enough as the small home dog to win this game. Play Green Bay. |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Raiders v. Dolphins OVER 44.5 | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
Doesn't get much more embarrassing for the Dolphins then their blowout loss to the Ravens on national Tv, 40-0. Out is QB Matt Moore and back in is Jay Cutler tonight. The Miami offense is dead last in scoring in the NFL. Oakland would also like to forget this season up to now after starting 3-5. The Raiders have yet to intercept a football, the first team in NFL history to do this. Marshawn Lynch is back today, though he hasn't been all that effective this season. The Raiders have been a very good OVER team in November, going 19-5-3 O/U. In addition they are 6-2 O/U in their last eight away games. Despite their offensive woes, the Dolphins have gone over in six of their last eight home games. The OVER is also 4-0 in the last four meetings between these teams. With players returning today I look for more scoring. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Redskins v. Seahawks OVER 45 | 17-14 | Loss | -105 | 101 h 10 m | Show | |
The Seattle Seahawks had a dramtic win at home last week to come from behind and beat the Texans, 41-38 on a late Wilson TD toss. Despite having top 10 pass defenses, the Seahawks and Texans combind for over 800 yards passing in that game. Seattle now hosts a Redskins team that has a 5-2 O/U mark coming into this game, including four straight OVERs. The Washington defense has allowed 33, 34, 24 and 29 points in their last four games. The Seattle offense has now averaged 30.8 ppg their last five contests. The Skins are 22-6 O/U their last 28 overall games and 19-7 O/U in their last 26 away games. Seattle's offense is hitting on all cylanders right now and that spells problems for Washington. I'm going with the OVER here on Sunday. |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Colts v. Texans OVER 49 | 20-14 | Loss | -130 | 98 h 55 m | Show | |
The 2-6 Colts visit the 3-4 Texans here on Sunday. The Texans offense caught fire against the Seahawks in a slugfest that Houston lost, 41-38. Houston QB Deshaun Watson was 19-for-30 for 402 yards and four TD's. Houston has now scored 38, 22, 34, 57 and 33 in their last five games (ALL OVERS). The Colt defense will be hard pressed to shut down this Houston offense, having allowed 24, 27, 36, 23, 46 and 28 in their last six games. Historically the Colts have been a very good road OVER team, posting a 45-22 O/U record their last 67 away games. These clubs have gone OVER in their last four meetings in Houston. I don't see how Houston doesn't get over 30 again this week. I'm taking the OVER. |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Bucs v. Saints -7 | 10-30 | Win | 100 | 14 h 8 m | Show | |
The New Orleans Saints have been red-hot, winning five consecutive games and winning by an average of 14 points. They face a Tampa Bay team that had high expectations entering the season, only to disappoint. The Saints are 5-2 both S/U and ATS on the season while Tampa Bay is just 2-5 S/U and 1-5-1 ATS. Tampa Bay is coming off a lackluster effort at home against Carolina where they scored just three points. The Saints have covered 20 of their last 28 games and are 10-2 the last 12 against the NFC South. With the Bucs not having covered a spread in five straight weeks, not ready to back them here. Always difficult to play in New Orleans and until I see more production out of this Tampa offense, I'm going against them. Play New Orleans. |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Broncos v. Eagles -7 | 23-51 | Win | 100 | 14 h 8 m | Show | |
Broncos playing their third straight road game here and off a short week on top of it having played last Monday Night. It's been a horrible stretch for Denver, getting shutout by the Chargers and then losing by 10 to the Chiefs last week, 29-19. Denver hasn't scored over 19 points in any of their last five games. QB Trevor Siemian has been terrible and will be replaced today by QB Brock Osweiler. Osweiler hasn't fared much better, but the change could shake things up. Now they face the NFC East leading Eagles, who are 8-1 on the season. The Eagles have the bye next week so they can figure to go all out here today. The Denver defense is one of the best, but not sure how they will keep this team in this game against the best in the NFC. Play Philadelphia. |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Falcons v. Panthers UNDER 42.5 | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 14 h 8 m | Show | |
The Panthers have battled injury problems this year and that may be why they go through such ups and downs against the total spread. They have now gone two straight games where they have combined with their opponent for just 20 points. Before that, they have four weeks in a row going OVER the total. They face an Atlanta team that has also gone through much the same this season. The Falcons started off hot offensively, scoring 23, 34 and 30 in their first three games. However, since then, they have just 17, 17, 7 and then 25 last week against the Jets. The problem also may be with OC Steve Sarkasian, who has taken a lot of the heat for the poor Atlanta production. Last year when Atlanta was red hot offensively, they had a +11 turnover ratio at this point in the season. Now, it's a minus-5! I think the problems this Falcons team is having in their Super Bowl letdown season will continue here on Sunday. Both these clubs have struggled and I think will continue to struggle to produce points the way we have seen in the past. As such, I'm going to go with the UNDER here on Sunday in what might be a pretty boring game |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Ravens v. Titans UNDER 42 | 20-23 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
The Tennessee Titans are rested and off their bye week. Both teams have identical 4-3 records this season. Baltimore is coming off a 40-0 shellacking of the Miami Dolphins last Thursday. But it was more of the Ravens defense that generated the points with five takeaways and a pair of Pick-Sixes. QB Joe Flacco (Concussion) left that game, but should return today. The Titans do get their #5 pick, Corey Davis back for this game. Davis hasn't played since week 2 and provides a deep threat for this Tennessee offense. Even with Flacco playing today, he's the 31st ranked QB in the league this year. The Ravens have no run offense and if not for their defense, they would never have scored the 40 points last week. Don't expect much out of this Baltimore team today as this game goes UNDER the total. |
|||||||
11-02-17 | Bills -3 v. Jets | 21-34 | Loss | -109 | 19 h 34 m | Show | |
A pair of AFC East teams clash here on Thursday as the Bills play the Jets. The Bills are 5-2 and can climb into a tie for the division lead with the Patriots with a win. The 3-5 Jets are in last place, but have been competitive. The Bills are having their best start to a season since 2008. The Bills are led by RB LeSean McCoy who is coming off a season high 27 rushes for 151 yards. The Jets have lost two straight and have seen RB Matt Forte question the play calling of OC John Morton. QB Josh McCown has thrown nine TD's in his last four games but the team looks to all but have abandoned the running game. The Bills are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games and have covered six of the last eight meetings with the Jets. Bills can control this game with their rushing attack and will be forced into what has got them into last place, their passing game. Play BUFFALO. |
|||||||
10-30-17 | Broncos v. Chiefs UNDER 43 | 19-29 | Loss | -110 | 92 h 15 m | Show | |
If you see a milk cartoon with the Broncos offense it's because they have gone missing. The Broncos scored 16 points in week 4, had week 5 off, then scored 10 points in a home loss to the Giants where they looked completely out of sorts and then last week where shutout by the Chargers, 21-0. That's 26 total points in their last three games. Defenses are forcing the Broncos to pass and that has been a big problem for QB Trevor Siemian. The last time the Broncos were shutout was 1992. Now these teams meet on Halloween night and it might be a scary night for the Broncos. The Broncos have gone UNDER in nine of their last 13 games against a team with a winning record. The Chiefs have been a great home under team, posting a 18-40 O/U mark in their last 58 at Arrowhead Stadium. Broncos offensive problems just won't cure themselves. I'm taking the UNDER here on Monday. |
|||||||
10-30-17 | Broncos +7.5 v. Chiefs | 19-29 | Loss | -120 | 92 h 15 m | Show | |
These two AFC rivals face each other here on Monday with the Broncos facing the possibility of a 3-4 start. When is the last time we've seen the Broncos a 7-point dog? Doesn't happen very often. The issue here is whether Denver can get their run game going to take pressure off QB Trevor Siemian who has had two bad weeks. Is it time to sit Siemian? Maybe, but I don't think we'll see that here tonight. So how can Denver cover this TD line? It's simple, their top rated defense. The defense will have to step it up and keep the team close and not rely on Siemian to pass to win this game. I think this line is too much for such a good defensive team. Kansas City is the class of the division, but Denver isn't done yet. Play the Broncos plus the TD. |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Steelers v. Lions +3 | 20-15 | Loss | -115 | 68 h 18 m | Show | |
The Lions will have to do better offensively, where they rank 30th in yards per play and 26th in yards per game. QB Matthew Stafford has not been the start QB the Lions paid such a hefty offseason price for. Stafford is 20th in the NFL in QB rating and he's been sacked 23 times in six games. Detroit is coming off its bye week and that always gives a team a lift. The Lions have covered the last five seasons the week after a bye. Add to the fact that the Lions are at home on national TV and they will be ready, despite their recent problems and injuries. Take Detroit. |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Steelers v. Lions OVER 45.5 | 20-15 | Loss | -107 | 68 h 17 m | Show | |
The Lions will have to do better offensively, where they rank 30th in yards per play and 26th in yards per game. QB Matthew Stafford has not been the start QB the Lions paid such a hefty offseason price for. Stafford is 20th in the NFL in QB rating and he's been sacked 23 times in six games. Detroit is coming off its bye week and that always gives a team a lift. Detroit has gone OVER in their last four home games. In addition, the last five meetings between these teams has gone OVER. I expect a better offensive effort here by the Lions off their bye week to go with the weapons the Steelers have. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Cowboys -1.5 v. Redskins | 33-19 | Win | 100 | 64 h 12 m | Show | |
Both of these clubs enter play today with key injuries. The Redskins lost three offensive linemen last Monday night and still don't have their star corner, Josh Norman back. The Cowboys lost the best kicker in the NFL in Dan Bailey. SO these two 3-3 teams will each have to contend with issues if they want to improve to 4-3. The Redskins lack of rushing has put a lot a pressure on QB Kirk Cousins. Now with injuries to the offensive line, Cousins will come under a lot of pressure from the Cowboys defensive line. The Cowboys easily handled the 49ers last week behind RB Ezekiel Elliot's 147 yards rushing. The Cowboys had five sacks last week and that could be the same here. Cowboys just have more weapons available on both sides of the ball. Play Dallas. |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Bears v. Saints UNDER 47.5 | 12-20 | Win | 100 | 61 h 36 m | Show | |
The Bears play their final game before having their bye week. They can either enter the bye at 3-5 or 4-4. Obviously the latter would be the better situation. The Saints bring a four-game win streak into this contest after beating a Rodgers-less Packers team last week, 26-17. The Bears defense has performed well against Cam Newton and Joe Flacco, so they will have their work cut out for them today against Drew Brees. The Saints allow 4.9 ypc to opposing running backs, so look for the Bears to run, run and run with Jordan Howard. If the Bears can control the time of possession and keep the ball out of the Saints potent offense, they will keep this game low scoring. I'm betting on it, play the UNDER. |
|||||||
10-26-17 | Dolphins v. Ravens UNDER 37.5 | 0-40 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 2 m | Show | |
Matt Moore is in at QB for the Miami Dolphins after bringing his team from a 14-point deficit to beat the Jets last week 31-28. Moore attempts to jump start an offense that ranks 31st in the NFL in scoring (15.3 ppg) and is last in offense (261 ypg). The Ravens offense won't be confused with the Patriots offense any time soon. Baltimore ranks 23rd in the NFL in scoring (18.8 ppg) and 28th in offense (277 ypg). QB Joe Flacco has just five TD's against eight INT's and continues to underperform. Two teams here that neither have smooth operating offenses. This is likely a game of field position and field goals. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
10-23-17 | Redskins +4.5 v. Eagles | 24-34 | Loss | -105 | 122 h 55 m | Show | |
The Eagles improved to 5-1 last week, but a loss here could have them tied in the loss column with the Redskins. This is a rematch of the week 1 contest in Washington, a Philly win of 30-17. Carson Wentz passed for 307 yards in that opening week win with two TD's. The Eagles have the extra rest here, having played last Thursday at Carolina. Expect the Washington offense to be much better this meeting, as QB Kirk Cousins has had time to gel with his new receivers. The Skins may also get back All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman, who has this game circled for his return. The Redskins have also covered 10 of their last 13 away games. Washington has also covered six of the last seven in this series and the dog is 5-2 ATS in this series the last seven. I believe this is a much improved Washington club and if Norman is back, all the better. Take the dog here, Washington. |

Expect the Washington offense to be much better this meeting, as QB Kirk Cousins has had time to gel with his new receivers. The Skins may also get back All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman, who has this game circled for his return. The Redskins are 13-3 O/U in their last 16 away games. These teams have gone OVER in five of their last seven meetings and are 4-1-1 O/U in the last six matchups in Philly. Take the OVER here on Monday. |

New England's dominant home field no longer so strong as the Patriots have lost two on their home turf this year. The secondary has had big holes to fill this year. Now they face a embarrassed Falcons team that laid an egg last week against a very good Miami team. The Falcons bring their high flying offense to New England this week. The Falcons love this fieldturf too, going OVER in 14 of the last 16 on the surface. Atlanta is also 18-7-1 O/U in their last 26 overall. The Pats are 8-2 O/U in their last 10 and the OVER is 5-2 the last seven meetings between these teams. Not much defense on display here as this one goes OVER. |

10-22-17 | Falcons v. Patriots -3 | Top | 7-23 | Win | 100 | 98 h 2 m | Show |
Sunday Night Personal Elite : This is our rematch of the Super Bowl where the Falcons all but handed the trophy to New England. Patriots looking to re-establish their home field dominance they once had before a pair of losses this year. The Pats made a nice comeback win last week at the Jets (thanks in part to a blown replay). Don't count out the Pats though, their offense is still riding high and while the defense hasn't been good, they can still outscore teams. Expect this one to be a high scoring affair, but I'm taking Brady and Co to win it again. |

10-22-17 | Bengals +5.5 v. Steelers | 14-29 | Loss | -110 | 94 h 56 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh in possible letdown spot here after their big win over the 5-0 Chiefs last week. Marvin Lewis comes into this game with his Bengals 1.5 games back of the 1st place Steelers, making this a huge game for Cincinnati. The Bengals are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games, 4-0 ATS their last four road games and 9-2 ATS their last 11 on grass. I'm not convinced the win over the flat Chiefs last week will carry over to this game. I'm taking the points with a Bengals team that needs this game to climb back into the race. |

10-22-17 | Broncos v. Chargers UNDER 42 | 0-21 | Win | 100 | 94 h 51 m | Show | |
The Denver Broncos phoned in their game at home last week against an 0-5 Giants team. If there was ever a team that figured showing up on the field would get them the win, it was this Broncos team. Unfortunately, this is the NFL and any team can win on any Sunday. The Broncos looked horrible against the Giants both on offense and defense. Now the Broncos hit the road for LA or somewhere around LA to face the Chargers. The Chargers are coming off a huge win over the Raiders on a last second field goal win, 17-16. Denver suffered some injuries in the loss to both starting WR's Emmanuel Sanders (out indefinitely) and Demaryius Thomas (should play). QB Trevor Siemian also left for some time with a shoulder issue, but returned and had to throw over 50 times in the loss. The Chargers are much improved on defense this year and the Broncos are one of the best in the league. I look for a tight, close game here. Go UNDER. |

10-22-17 | Jets +3.5 v. Dolphins | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 91 h 31 m | Show | |
Power Parlay : The NY Jets really could have won last week at home against the Patriots if not for a controversial replay that took away a TD. Now they go from facing one of the best offenses to the worst in Miami, which is ranked 32nd with a 12 ppg average. The Dolphins are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 vs the division. The Jets have owned this series, going 16-5 ATS the last 21 meetings in Miami and 6-2 the last eight meetings overall. Jets hang close enough to win outright against a poor Miami offense. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Saints v. Packers UNDER 47.5 | 26-17 | Win | 100 | 90 h 29 m | Show | |
The Packers have dealt with so many injuries this season and then last week endured the worst, losing QB Aaron Rodgers to a broken collarbone. In is Brett Hundley and while he could prove decent, he is going to be pressured and hit all day because of a injury plagued offensive line. Hundley was 18-for-33 in relief of Rodgers last week for 157 yards. The UCLA grad won't find it any easier here today against a resurgent New Orleans club. The Packers will have to try and keep the ball out of Drew Brees and the Saints offensive hands if they have any hope here. I'm going to take the UNDER mainly because I don't see Green Bay scoring much. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Cardinals v. Rams OVER 47 | 0-33 | Loss | -110 | 90 h 28 m | Show | |
Both these West Coast teams travel across the pond to play in London. The 4-2 Rams rebounded from their Week 5 egg-laying contest against the Seahawks with a nice win last week at Jacksonville. This game will be for first place in the NFC West. The Cardinals got a big boost from little used Adrian Peterson. Peterson rode the pine in New Orleans and come over to Arizona where he promptly ran for two TD's and over 100 yards. The Cardinals defense will have its work cut out this week against the NFL's leading scoring team in the Rams (29.8 ppg). The Rams have gone OVER in seven of their last eight games and are 9-3 O/U vs the NFC West. With more weapons on offense for the Cardinals and the league's top offense in the Rams, I look for this game to go OVER. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Jets v. Dolphins UNDER 38.5 | 28-31 | Loss | -110 | 90 h 27 m | Show | |
The NY Jets continue to surprise people this season even though they still are in last in the AFC East. The Jets could have easily won their contest with the Patriots last week, as we won't even discuss that replay non-TD call. Jets are 1-4 O/U in their last five away games, 2-6 O/U last eight overall. Miami is now 0-6 O/U in their last six games. The Miami offense averages just 12.2 ppg this season. I don't really care for either of these clubs offenses and today we'll see both pathetic attacks against each other. Take the UNDER here. |

The Rams are just 3-10 ATS in their 13 games and 1-10-1 in their last 12 against the NFC. The Cardinals have covered six of the last eight in this series and I look for another one here on Sunday. Play Arizona. |

10-19-17 | Chiefs -3 v. Raiders | 30-31 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 40 m | Show | |
The Chiefs fell from the ranks of the last unbeaten team last week as the Steelers beat them in Kansas City. The Raiders have struggled lately with QB Carr in and out of the lineup. Oakland has also had their issues with the Chiefs, with Oakland HC Jack Del Rio posting a 0-4 mark against the Chiefs. The Raiders offense revolves around Carr and as long as he isn't 100%, the Raiders offense won't be 100%. The Chiefs offense is very good with an improved rushing attack and more weapons at the receiving core. This year the visitors in the Thursday night game is 5-1! And the Chiefs have been a great road team, covering 14 of their last 17 away games. Raiders just 3-7 ATS on Thursday night. Chiefs have covered 11 of the last 14 meetings in Oakland and that's what I expect tonight. Take KC. |

10-16-17 | Colts +7.5 v. Titans | Top | 22-36 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
Colts come into tonight with an 11-game win streak vs the Titans and a 9-1-1 ATS mark the last 11. We may not see either team's starting QB as Andrew Luck and Marcus Mariota are both hurting. Look for the Titans to try and control the ball with their running game of DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry. Surprisingly, even without Luck, the Colts are just one game back in the AFC South. I have to side with coaching in this one and I give a big edge to Colts Chuck Pagano over the Titans Mike Mularkey. Pagano has handled his situation much better and has his team ready to play.

10-15-17 | Giants v. Broncos -11.5 | Top | 23-10 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 14 m | Show |
NFL Blowout Game of the Year: Things have gone from bad to worse for the NY Giants. Adding injury to insult, the Giants are now 0-5 on the season after losing at home to the Chargers, 27-22. The Giants lost their two top three receivers to season-ending surgeries, with Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Harris and Odell Beckham Jr all done for the year. The Giants don't have a rushing game to fall back on, as they have averaged just 77.8 ypg. Now they have to travel to Denver and face the "NO Fly Zone" defense of the Broncos. This game could get really ugly for New York and early. This is a game I want everyone down on early with the 4-1 Broncos. Denver will have to play their next three on the road, so this game has a lot of meaning for them to get to 5-1. I don't see any way the Giants put up even double digits here. I'll gladly lay the points with the Broncos |

10-15-17 | Patriots v. Jets OVER 47.5 | 24-17 | Loss | -110 | 114 h 12 m | Show | |
New England finally plays another AFC East opponent here on Sunday in the Jets. Last year the Pats were 7-1 against their division foes. The Patriots have a 10-game road win streak on the line this week. Surprisingly, both these clubs are 3-2 on the season and tied for first in the division. The Patriots have the best offense in the league, averaging 419 ypg. Their pass offense is 1st with 320 ypg while the rush offense is just 18th. New England's defense has been the issue with this club, allowing a league worst 447 ypg, 124 yards on the ground and 323 through the air. The Jets are averaging 18 points per game, but will likely have to up that here against the high powered Pats offense. These teams have a 11-4-1 O/U record in their last 16 meetings and 5-2 O/U the last seven in NY. I like this one over as the Jets offense will be able to score against this poor Pats "D." |

10-15-17 | 49ers v. Redskins OVER 46.5 | 24-26 | Win | 100 | 100 h 40 m | Show | |
The 49ers have to feel snakebit, after losing four straight games by a combined 11 points. The Niners coming off a OT loss at the Colts last week may be tiring out at this point. One good bit of news for QB Brian Hoyer and the 49ers is that they won't likely face All-Pro corner Josh Norman, who is likely out with a rib injury. The Niners have been a very good over team on the road, watching 13 of their last 19 away games going OVER. The Redskins have picked up their game since their opening loss of the season to the Eagles. The Redskins have also been a good over team, with 19 of their 26 games on grass going OVER. They are even better against the NFC where they have a 14-4 O/U mark their last 18. I look for a wide open contest here on Sunday and will go with the OVER. |

10-15-17 | Browns v. Texans OVER 46.5 | 17-33 | Win | 100 | 100 h 36 m | Show | |
The revolving door at QB continues for Cleveland. Out is QB DeShone Kizer who was relieved last week by Kevin Hogan. WHo? Kevin Hogan who completed 16-of-19 passes for 194 yards and two TD's. Kizer had the most red zone turnovers of any QB in the league this year. Hogan is lucky this week in one way, he won't have to face JJ Watt and LB Whitney Mercilus, both out with injuries. Meanwhile, Houston's offense has been great under QB Deshaun Watson, who has put up 127 points and 1,254 yards. The Browns have gone OVER the total in seven of their last nine away games. Houston is 5-2 O/U their last seven games. I like the Browns prospects of scoring without facing Watt and the Texans continue to pile up points. Take the OVER. |

10-12-17 | Eagles v. Panthers -3 | 28-23 | Loss | -115 | 79 h 5 m | Show | |
Thursday Game of the Month : A pair of 4-1 teams clash under the lights here on Thursday Night. The Eagles had a dominating performance last Sunday at home against the Cardinals, 34-7. QB Carson Wentz had 4 TD's, 21 of 30 passing for 304 yards and 1 INT. In addition, RB LeGarette Blunt rushed for 74 yards. The Panthers are off their win at Detroit, 27-24. That was two impressive wins in a row for Carolina after beating New England two weeks ago, 33-30. The one knock against the Eagles has been their road play, going just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 away games. The favorite has covered four straight in this series. This should be an excellent contest, but I'm sticking with the Panthers here on Thursday. |

10-09-17 | Vikings v. Bears UNDER 40.5 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 24 h 6 m | Show | |
The Bears have made the change at QB that everyone has been waiting for, Mitchell Trubisky takes over the helm here in week 5. The 23-year old will face a very aggressive Vikings' defense here. The Vikes saked Matthew Stafford six times in their loss to Detriot last week. The Vikings also rank No 1 in the NFL in third down defense. The Vikings also find a new face in the starting offensive lineup, RB Latavius Murry who came over in the offseason fromt the Raiders. Murray had offseason ankle surgery and isn't 100% here. The Bears won't put a lot of pressure on the rookie QB with their double headed running backs of Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen. In fact, I expect this game to be one of those "ground and pound" efforts. As such, I'm looking for a dead UNDER in this Monday Night contest. |

10-08-17 | Chiefs v. Texans +1.5 | 42-34 | Loss | -110 | 128 h 54 m | Show | |
Houston and Kansas City will play below the lights on Sunday Night Football. The Texans exploded offensively last week, beating the Titans 57-14. Rookie QB Deshaun Watson brokeout in a big way, tossing 4 TD's and 1 rushing TD. DeAndre Hopkins had one TD and over 100 yards receiving. This was the most points by a Texans team in franchise history. The Chiefs will be on a bit of a shorter week after having played Monday night against the Redskins. No matter how the Chiefs come out on Monday Night, they will have their hands full with a Texans team that is playing great on both sides of the ball. Take the home team here, play Houston. |

10-08-17 | Packers v. Cowboys OVER 52 | 35-31 | Win | 100 | 103 h 18 m | Show | |
Nice marquee matchup here on Sunday as the Packers head to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. Dallas ran into the top scoring team in the NFL last week in the Rams. Yes, the Rams, and got their butts kicked. The Cowboys looked unstoppable in the first half, scoring 3 TD's and a FG on four possessions. But the Rams made some half time adjustments on defense and pulled ahead with their high powered offense for the win. Meanwhile, the Packers are deluged by injuries, especially on the offensive line. Now they have to face a ticked-off Dallas team that also has revenge on their mind for a 34-31 loss to Green Bay last season that ended their season. In addition, the Packers may be without RB Ty Montgomery, who injured his ribs last week. I look for both teams to put up big offensive numbers here. With Dallas having the bye next week, they will be especially motivated. Take the OVER and enjoy the game. |

10-08-17 | Jets +1.5 v. Browns | 17-14 | Win | 100 | 100 h 43 m | Show | |
The much maligned NY Jets are quietly now 2-2 on the season, same as the Patriots. Despite being written off by most experts, this club has been very scrappy. The Cleveland Browns have some talent this year, but they sure aren't playing like it. The Club has just one win in their last 19 games under Hue Jackson and are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games. QB DeShone Kizer has the lowest QB rating of any signal caller and has nine turnovers. One might ask why get involved with two such bad teams. Well, I don't think the Jets are all that bad, and they sure aren't playing like it. Take the Jets here on Sunday. |

10-05-17 | Patriots v. Bucs OVER 55.5 | 19-14 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 3 m | Show | |
Patriots take the Thursday night stage for the 2nd time this season. The Patriots defense has been non-existent after two home losses and were lucky to beat the Texans two weeks ago. The defense has now allowed 42, 20, 33 and 33 in their four weeks. Now they have to face a Tampa Offense led by QB Jamies Winston, who just tossed three TD's and no INT's against the Giants. I fully expect lots of points here, with the Pats averaging 35.3 and the Bucs at home against the porous Pats. Take the OVER. |
