09-20-20 | Vikings v. Colts -3 | 11-28 | Win | 100 | 44 h 53 m | Show | |
40* VIKINGS/COLTS NFL VEGAS INSIDER (Colts -3) I’m going to lay the field goal with the Colts at home against the Vikings. I almost laid the touchdown with Indianapolis in Week 1 at Jacksonville. Glad I didn’t, but I’m not so sure it wasn’t the right play despite the result. The Colts had a 445 to 241 edge in total yards. They outgained the Jaguars by 204 yards. That was the best yardage differential of any team in Week 1. I know Philip Rivers had a couple of costly interceptions that led to the score being what it was, but I still think he makes the Colts a contender. Losing Marlon Mack to a season-ending injury is a big blow, but they drafted a guy who many thought was going to overtake him in Jonathan Taylor. I think this offense is going to be able to whatever they want against this Vikings defense. Minnesota was gashed in Week 1, allowing a league-worst 522 yards to the Packers. Not only did Aaron Rodgers carve them up for 364 yards and 4 scores, Green Bay rushed for 158 yards and 4.9 yards/carry. This is not your typical Mike Zimmer defense. They don’t got legit NFL corners on their roster. They knew the ball was going to Davante Adams and there was nothing they could do to stop it. Adams had 14 catches for 156 yards and 2 scores. Minnesota is also not nearly as strong on the defensive line and we saw that with how Green Bay ran all over them. Lastly, I think the Indianapolis defense doesn’t get the respect it deserves. They have been getting better and better ever since they drafted linebacker Darius Leonard. I also loved the addition of defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. I think they can make life difficult here on Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota offense. Give me the Colts -3! |

09-20-20 | Broncos v. Steelers -7 | 21-26 | Loss | -110 | 44 h 46 m | Show | |
40* BRONCOS/STEELERS NFL STEAMROLLER (Steelers -7) I just don't see Drew Lock and that Denver offense being able to score enough to make a game of this. This Steelers defense is the real deal. They just held Saquon Barkley to a mere 6 yards on 15 attempts. Denver does have Melvin Gordon, but the loss of Phillip Lindsay is big for this team. We also don't know if Lock will have wideout Courtland Sutton or KJ Hamler. I think Pittsburgh can make the Broncos one-dimensional. Denver's held the Titans to just 14 points in Week 1, but Tennessee moved the ball up and down the field against them. If it wasn't for all those missed kicks, Titans would have won by double-digits. Pittsburgh has a much more explosive offense than Tennessee. Big Ben is also one of those guys that puts up way better stats at home than on the road. This game doesn't figure to be close for long. Give me the Steelers -7! |

09-17-20 | Bengals v. Browns OVER 43.5 | Top | 30-35 | Win | 100 | 31 h 8 m | Show |
50* BENGALS/BROWNS NFL *BEST BET* TOP PLAY (OVER 43.5) If you have been following my NFL for awhile, you know that I'm pretty big on the OVER in these Thursday night games. People just haven't caught on to how much the lack of rest impacts the play on the defensive side of the ball. Factor in how bad the Browns and Bengals looked offensively in Week 1 and I think we are getting big time value with the total at 43.5. I know Cleveland has Garrett, but the Browns defense is no where near as good as the front Cincinnati last faced in the Chargers. Burrow also flashed some in that game and you have to like a guy that makes plays when it matters late. As for the Browns poor showing, they just went up against a really good Baltimore defense. Cleveland was able to run on the Ravens and should move the chains on the ground against a Bengals defense that won't have their best guy up front in Geno Atkins. Cleveland also has a bunch of guys hurt on defense. Play the OVER 43.5! |
|||||||
09-14-20 | Steelers v. Giants UNDER 45 | Top | 26-16 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
50* STEELERS/GIANTS MNF MASSACRE (Under 45) I really like the UNDER 45 in the early Monday Night Football matchup between the Steelers and Giants. We know the Steelers defense is going to be good. It carried them last year and just felt like it kept getting better. They were outstanding against the run and should be again. They tied with NE allowing a league-low 7 rushing touchdowns. I think they can take away Barkley and I don't see Daniel Jones having a big day behind an offensive line that has 3 new starters. As for the Steelers offense, there's a lot of optimism with the return of Big Ben. I just don't think he's going to be sharp in his first game back. I certainly don't think they are going to be looking to air it out. I also think people could be sleeping some on the Giants defense. Most just remember how bad it was last year. They added 3 big pieces, including corner James Bradberry and defensive back Logan Ryan. Give me the UNDER 45! |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Chargers v. Bengals +3 | 16-13 | Push | 0 | 51 h 27 m | Show | |
40* CHARGERS/BENGALS NFL VEGAS INSIDER (Bengals +3) I don't understand at all why the Chargers are favored on the road against the Bengals. I get Cincinnati was bad last year, but all indications are that rookie Joe Burrow is every bit as good as advertised. Not only are they getting a major upgrade at QB, but they also add back a Pro Bowl caliber WR in A.J. Green, who missed all of last year. As for the Chargers, they are making the transition from a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Philip Rivers to the likes of Tyrod Taylor. I'm not saying Taylor is terrible, but if the guy was legit he would have been starting by now. He's a solid No. 2 quarterback. Certainly doesn't help the Chargers are coming into Week 1 with a banged up offensive line. There's some decent talent on the LA defense, but I just think they are going to be on the field a lot and more than anything, I'm rolling the dice on Burrow. Give me the Bengals +3! |

09-13-20 | Dolphins v. Patriots -6.5 | 11-21 | Win | 100 | 94 h 16 m | Show | |
40* DOLPHINS/PATRIOTS NFL SHARP STAKE (Patriots -6.5) Big revenge game out of the gate for NE. Dolphins cost them a first round bye in the playoffs last year with that big upset win in Week 17. I’ve been in plenty of arguments with some friends about what the Patriots will look like without Tom Brady. I would say the consensus is that New England will struggle without him. Add in all the guys they had opt out and everyone is calling for their reign on top the AFC East to be over. I’m on the exact opposite end of the spectrum. Bill Belichick is the best coach in the NFL. Has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. There’s nothing more Belichick wants to do than show everyone he doesn’t need Brady to win. What’s crazy is, he’s already shown us that. They went 11-5 with Matt Cassel back in 2008 when Brady was lost for the season in Week 1. They went 3-1 in 2016 with an inexperienced Garoppolo and Brissett when Brady was suspended. Not sure if you were paying attention, but he’s got a former MVP in Cam Newton now at quarterback. I don’t know why this isn’t a bigger deal. I’ve talked crap about Cam on this podcast in the past, but injuries are the big reason Cam hasn’t been great the last few years. All indications are that he’s as healthy as he’s been in a long time. The only concern to me would be how Newton and Belichick meshed and so far it’s been all roses. Not to mention Newton was named a captain, so the players clearly respect this guy. They are going to run an offense that is completely tailored to Cam’s strength’s and by doing so, Miami’s not going to have a clue what to expect. I know they had some big names on defense opt out, but again we are talking about Belichick. New England’s defense is a lot more plug and play than people realize. They had 20 guys record at least 200 snaps last year. Miami really overachieved with the talent they had last year. There’s nothing about their offense that really gets me excited. I like what they have done defensively, but they got a new defensive coordinator in Josh Boyer, who has never called plays in the NFL. With the offseason we had, I think this unit is one that will look much better in Week 10 than it does in Week 1. Give me the Patriots -6.5! |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Colts v. Jaguars OVER 44.5 | 20-27 | Win | 100 | 49 h 34 m | Show | |
40* COLTS/JAGUARS NFL NO-BRAINER (Over 44.5) I was a bit shocked that this total wasn't closer to 50. The Jaguars have decimated their defense of all their top players over the last two seasons. Right before this year they traded away their star pass-rusher in Yannick Ngakoue, as well as corner A.J. Bouye and defensive lineman Calais Campbell. This team isn't stopping anyone. I look for Philip Rivers to make quite the debut with his new team in Indy. This might be the best offensive line he's been behind in a decade. Colts are going to have balance with the run game and got playmakers on the outside. I got a lot of respect for the Colts defense, but I think Gardner Minshew will be able to get the Jaguars into the endzone. I think Jacksonville is going to air it out even more in 2020 under new offensive coordinator Jay Gruden. I also don't think we need a ton from the Jags to push this OVER the mark. Give me the OVER 44.5! |
|||||||
09-13-20 | Bears v. Lions OVER 42 | 27-23 | Win | 100 | 49 h 33 m | Show | |
40* BEARS/LIONS NFL STEAMROLLER (OVER 42) I think the public perception with Chicago is that this is an UNDER team given their strong defense and lackluster QB play with Mitch Trubisky as their starter. Thing is, Trubisky has had a lot of success against Detroit since Matt Patricia took over. In fact, he's averaging 288.7 ypg with 9-1 TD-INT ratio over 3 starts. As for the Bears defense, they will be without one of their better players in DE Robert Quinn, star linebacker Khalil Mack is also questionable. I just think with Matthew Stafford at the helm, Detroit is going to able to score, especially at home. People forget just how good this Lions offense was before Stafford tweaked his back last year. Another thing to note, OVER has casheed in 12 of the last 13 Week 1 games involving Detroit. OVER was also 6-1 in their last 7 at home in 2019. I just feel like there's a good chance both teams eclipse 20 points and all we need is 43 combined to cash this ticket. Give me the OVER 42! |

09-13-20 | Packers +2.5 v. Vikings | Top | 43-34 | Win | 100 | 48 h 29 m | Show |
50* PACKERS/VIKINGS NFL *BEST BET* TOP PLAY (Packers +2.5) I love the Packers and the points. Green Bay will be opening up on the road against division rival Minnesota, who is simply not the same team as they were a year ago. Vikings lost one of their best playmakers in Stefon Diggs, which definitely hurts Kirk Cousins and the offense. Minnesota also lost a lot on the defensive side of the ball. The got 3 new starting corners and have just 5 starters back on that side of the ball. That lack of chemistry, especially in the secondary figures to be a recipe for disaster against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense. I just think given how bad Green Bay lost in the NFC Championship Game last year, people are sleeping on this team coming into 2020. If you are a believer in teams with continuity having an edge in this pandemic stricken offseason, Green Bay is the obvious play in this one. Give me the Packers +2.5! |
|||||||
09-10-20 | Texans v. Chiefs OVER 54.5 | 20-34 | Loss | -104 | 54 h 5 m | Show | |
40* CHIEFS/TEXANS NFL VEGAS INSIDER (Over 54.5) I don't get the vibe at all that KC is going to suffer any kind of Super Bowl hangover. I follow this team closely and they are 100% locked in. While I think they cover the big number, I'm not really interested in laying that in Week 1. However, I do see some decent value here with the OVER 54.5. I just think Mahomes and this Chiefs offense are going to be almost impossible to stop. They got all their big weapons back and added in Clyde Edwards-Helaire at RB (absolute perfect fit). I think they will be every bit as good and if not better than the 35.3 ppg they put up in Mahomes MVP season in 2018. Keep in mind the continuity the Chiefs offense has should benefit them even more this season with all the offseason time missed because of Covid. I don't think the defense will be bad, but they are going to give up points and you got a big time talent at QB on the other side in this one in Watson. They simply get to 20 and I think we cash this easy. Give me the OVER 54.5! |
|||||||
02-02-20 | 49ers v. Chiefs -120 | Top | 20-31 | Win | 100 | 52 h 5 m | Show |
50* NFL CHIEFS/49ERS SB 54 SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Chiefs -120) I'll gladly take my chances here with Kansas City in Super Bowl 54 against the 49ers. I just think the Chiefs are too good offensively and are a lot better defensively than they get credit for. KC's defense has been one of the best in the league over the second half of the season and I just don't know that you can beat them running the football. As for the 49ers and that great defensive front, it's as big a factor against a QB like Mahomes. Not only can Mahomes can it out quick, but he's extremely mobile with an incredible sense of pressure. Not to mention all the speed Mahomes has at his disposal. I also think it's a huge advantage for KC given the SB is played with a bye, as there's arguably not been a better coach outside of maybe Belichick in terms of what he can do with an extra week to prepare. Another thing for me is the 49ers are pretty set in their zone defense and I just think you can't run zone against Mahomes and this offense. We saw it last year with the same 49ers defensive scheme in their Week 3 matchup. Chiefs scored a TD on their first 5 possessions of the game and had a 35-10 lead at the half. Once Mahomes and Reid know what the defense is trying to do, there's really no stopping them. Give me the Chiefs -120! |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Titans v. Chiefs -7 | Top | 24-35 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
50* AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME OF THE YEAR (Chiefs -7) I'll take my chances here with the Chiefs covering the 7-point spread at home against the Titans. It's crazy to me how the public has fallen in love with this Tennessee team. Wins at New England and Baltimore are impressive, but the Chiefs are a whole different animal and this team is coming off a magical win last week where they turned a 24-0 deficit in the 1st quarter into a 28-24 lead at the half and won by 20. I get the Titans beat the Chiefs at home earlier this season, but KC had a 29-20 lead in that game in the 4th quarter and were up 8 with less than a minute to play. Chiefs had a 530 to 371 edge in total yards, 28 to 19 edge in first downs and Mahomes threw for 446 yards and 3 scores in his first game back from that dislocated knee (didn't have near the mobility he does right now). Derrick Henry rushed for 188 yards and 2 scores and they should have lost, so even if he has a big day I think KC still wins this going away. The Chiefs defense has really transformed into a top tier unit and keep in mind that while they gave up 31 to the Texans last week, Houston scored a TD on a block punt and were gift-wrapped another on a muffed punt that set them up with 1st and Goal at the 6-yard line. I also think Titans have to be running out of gas. They not only have won both of their playoff games on the road, but they also closed out the season at Houston in a must-win to even get into the playoffs. Winning 3 straight games on the road is tough, 4 in a row in 4 weeks is as difficult as it gets. Give me the Chiefs -7! |

01-12-20 | Seahawks +4.5 v. Packers | 23-28 | Loss | -107 | 52 h 30 m | Show | |
40* NFL PACKERS/SEAHAWKS ATS NO-BRAINER (Seahawks +4.5) I'll take my chances here with Seattle covering as 4.5-point dogs against Green Bay. The Packers might be the worst 13-3 team I can remember. Green Bay had a mere +63 scoring margin this year. Every other team that won 12 or more games this season had a scoring margin of +117 or better if you take away the Saints at +117 the next best worst is the Chiefs at +143. I know Seattle has their flaws and all, but this team just finds a way to hang around even against teams that are more talented than them and I don't know that Green Bay is the more talented team here. Sure they have Aaron Rodgers, but there's not a lot else that wows you with this roster. Note the Packers had just 3 wins this year against a playoff team. Two were against the Vikings and the other was against the Chiefs without Mahomes. The only other teams they played all season that made the playoffs were the Eagles and 49ers. They lost by 7 at home to Philadelphia and by 31 at San Francisco. Give me the Seahawks +4.5! |
|||||||
01-12-20 | Texans v. Chiefs -9.5 | Top | 31-51 | Win | 100 | 48 h 58 m | Show |
50* NFL CHIEFS/TEXANS DIV ROUND TOP PLAY (Chiefs -9.5) I'll gladly take my chances here with the Chiefs laying it on the Texans and winning this game by at least double-digits. Houston pulled out a miraculous overtime win over the Bills, as they were down 16-0 in the 2nd half and found a way to win. That's just Buffalo's inability to put teams away with their anemic offense. I know Houston was able to go on the road and upset the Chiefs 31-24 in the regular-season, but things just kind of unraveled for KC, as they actually jumped out to a 17-3 lead in the 1st quarter. The Chiefs defense just wasn't very good in that game and at that time they just weren't very good on that side of the ball. This defense is drastically better now than it was. The other big thing is the two weeks that the Chiefs get to prepare for this game. Few have been better than Andy Reid when getting two weeks to prepare for a team. He's 18-3 ATS in the regular season off a bye and 4-1 ATS in the playoffs. If you remember last year the Colts had a big Wild Card win at Houston (21-7) and then lost 31-13 at KC the next week. Simply put the Chiefs have the better head coach (not even close), the better quarterback and a massive home field advantage. Give me Kansas City -9.5! |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Vikings v. 49ers -7 | Top | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 26 h 31 m | Show |
50* NFL VIKINGS/49ERS DIV ROUND TOP PLAY (49ers -7) I'll gladly take my chances here with the 49ers winning by more than a touchdown at home against the Vikings. Hats off to Minnesota for their win at New Orleans last week, but no way do I trust the Vikings to pull off the upset here and I would be shocked if they kept this close. I just think the 49ers are hands down the better team and few teams needed that bye week more than San Francisco. The defense will be as healthy as it's been all in a long time with linebacker Kwon Alexander and safety Jaquiski Tartt back in the lineup. There's also a good chance Dee Ford will be able to get on the field in some capacity. I just think when they are right it's near impossible to pass against them and I just don't think the Vikings run game is strong enough to carry the load. One win in a big game doesn't do it for me when it comes to trusting Kirk Cousins in a spot like this. I think their inability to move the ball is going allow the 49ers offense to wear the Vikings defense down and create the separation needed to cover this number. Give me the 49ers -7! |
|||||||
01-05-20 | Vikings v. Saints UNDER 50.5 | Top | 26-20 | Win | 100 | 3 h 17 m | Show |
50* VIKINGS/SAINTS NFL SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Under 50.5) I'll take my chances here with the UNDER 50.5 in the big NFC Wild Card matchup between the Saints and Vikings. I get the Saints come into this game on an offensive tear, as they scored 34 or more in each of their last 4 games, but I just don't see them matching that success against a really good Vikings defense. At the same time, I don't think Minnesota's offense is going to have much success here and I actually think they are going to focus a lot more on running the ball to not only keep their defense fresh, but to keep Drew Brees off the field. Give me the UNDER 50.5! |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Titans v. Patriots UNDER 44.5 | Top | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
50* NFL PATS/TITANS VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Under 44.5) I'll gladly take my chances here with the UNDER 44.5 between the Titans and Patriots. I'm not anticipating this one being all that entertaining, as I think both offenses are going to have a miserable time moving the ball. Pats offense is broken and the Titans offense isn't good enough to exploit an elite NE defense on the road. I wouldn't be shocked if both teams failed to reach 20 points in this one. UNDER is 16-5 in Pats last 21 games off a loss. Give me the UNDER 44.5! |

12-29-19 | Steelers -123 v. Ravens | 10-28 | Loss | -123 | 50 h 45 m | Show | |
40* NFL VEGAS MONEY LINE MASSACRE (Steelers -123) I'll take my chances here with Pittsburgh on the money line in Baltimore. Ravens locked up the No. 1 seed with last week's win over the Browns and now have nothing to play for and will be sitting several key starters. I get RGIII is a mobile QB, but he's no where close to Lamar Jackson in terms of how he impacts the game. When he's been in the offense has not looked good and this Steelers defense is one of the better units in the league. Give me Pittsburgh -123! |

12-29-19 | Eagles v. Giants +4.5 | 34-17 | Loss | -110 | 50 h 45 m | Show | |
40* NFL SITUATIONAL ATS NO-BRAINER (Giants +4.5) I'll take my chances here with New York covering as a 4.5-point dog against the Eagles. Most will look to back Philadelphia in this one, as they are the team with everything to play for. I just don't trust the Eagles at all. They are primed for a letdown off that huge win over Dallas, where they put everything they had into that game. They are also decimated on offense with their top 3 receivers and tight end Zach Ertz all out with injuries. Giants have been playing well down the stretch and I look for Daniel Jones to have a big day here against a shaky Eagles secondary that was very fortunate against Dallas (Prescott missed a lot of wide open guys and the receivers dropped several passes). Give me the Giants +4.5! |

50* NFC WEST PLAY OF THE YEAR (Cardinals +7.5) I love the value here with the Cardinals at +7.5 and would be taking them at anything over a field goal. Rams are not going to be the least bit interested in playing this game after last week crushing loss to the 49ers that ended any hopes they had of sneaking into the playoffs. Hard for a team that was in the Super Bowl a year ago to get up for a meaningless Week 17 game. Cardinals on the other hand have shown they want to finish the season strong and even if Murray can't go I like them to win this game outright. Give me Arizona +7.5! |

12-29-19 | Chargers v. Chiefs OVER 45.5 | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 46 h 18 m | Show | |
40* NFL OVER/UNDER TOTAL SLAUGHTER (Over 45.5) I'll take my chances here with the OVER 45.5 in Sunday's game between Kansas City and Los Angeles. Chiefs offense hasn't went off in a while, but have been really close in a number of recent games. I think they are primed for a big showing against a deflated Chargers team that just wants this season to be over with. As for LA's offense, you know Rivers is going to go down swinging and while he did throw 4 picks in an earlier meeting with KC, he also had 353 passing yards. A lot has been made about the Chiefs defense. It's definitely improved, but they have also played their last 4 games against the Bears, Broncos, Patriots and Raiders, who are all struggling on offense. I think we see this thing get into the 50s. Give me the OVER 45.5! |

12-29-19 | Browns v. Bengals +3 | 23-33 | Win | 100 | 46 h 17 m | Show | |
40* NFL PUBLIC MONEY ATS MASSACRE (Bengals +3) I'll take my chances here with Cincinnati covering as a 3-point home dog against the Browns. Cincinnati has the worst record in the league and locked up the No. 1 pick in next year's draft. While there's a ton of excitement with the likelihood of landing Burrow with that pick, I expect Cincinnati to show up in a big way in the finale, as they all know this could be Andy Dalton's last start with the franchise. Bengals have also been playing well down the stretch. As for Cleveland, they were officially knocked out of the playoff race with last week's gut-wrenching loss at home to the Ravens and I just don't see them showing up for a meaningless game. In my opinion the wrong team is favored. Give me the Bengals +3! |

50* NFL VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Vikings -4.5) I'll take my chances here with Minnesota covering the 4.5-point spread at home against the Packers. Green Bay might have Aaron Rodgers and one of the best records in the NFC, but I just don't think they are anywhere close to as good as people think. The books definitely seem to agree with this line being 4.5 with Minnesota likely down their top two packs. Green Bay really isn't good on either side of the ball. Packers are 22nd in total offense at 336.6 ypg and rank in the bottom half of the league in both rushing and passing. Green Bay's defense comes in having held each of their last 3 opponents to 15 or fewer, but that's come against the Giants/ Redskins and Bears. Packers are 23rd against the pass and 25th against the run. Vikings are 32-15 ATS at home under Zimmer and 22-8 ATS in their last 30 as a home favorite of 7 or less. Give me Minnesota -4.5! |

12-22-19 | Chiefs -6 v. Bears | Top | 26-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show |
50* CHIEFS/BEARS SNF PLAY OF THE YEAR (Chiefs -6) I'll gladly take my chances here with the Chiefs winning by at least a touchdown on the road against the Bears. Kansas City needs to win here to keep their hopes of getting a first round bye alive and I also feel like the Chiefs want to keep the momentum going into the playoffs. You also got KC head coach Andy Reid facing off against former assistant Matt Nagy and I think not only that gives the Chiefs an edge, but also adds a little more incentive. The Bears are also sitting at 7-7 and out of the playoff race, so it wouldn't come as a shocker for them to not play up to their potential. More than anything, I just don't see Chicago being able to keep pace offensively with Mahomes and this high-powered KC offense. Not to mention the Chiefs defense has made a remarkable turnaround not only from last year but from the first month of the season. KC's stop unit has been one of the best in the league over the last 4 weeks and should have no problem keeping Trubisky and the Bears in check. Give me the Chiefs -6! |

12-22-19 | Lions +7 v. Broncos | 17-27 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
40* NFL PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Lions +7) I'll take my chances here with the Lions cashing in a cover as a touchdown dog against the Broncos. I just think Denver has no business laying this kind of a number against any team, especially after that demoralizing performance last week at Kansas City. One that caused Von Miller to voice his frustrations with the direction of the team. Detroit's has been on a free fall with 7 straight losses and haven't exactly been competitive in their last two, which is why I think we are getting such great value. No team wants to end the year on a massive losing streak and with a not so winnable game next week against the Packers, I expect the Lions to give it all they got in this one. A really good sign that Detroit is still trying to win is the fact that running back Kerryon Johnson is willing to come back from injury this late in the season. Johnson was a difference maker win healthy and the Broncos run defense has not been good of late. I think he has a big game here and I actually like the Lions to win outright. Give me Detroit +7! |

12-22-19 | Bengals v. Dolphins | 35-38 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 31 m | Show | |
40* NFL NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Bengals PK) I'll take my chances here with Cincinnati going on the road and beating the Dolphins in Sunday's matchup of two AFC bottom feeders. Since going back to Andy Dalton at quarterback the Bengals have been a much more competitive team. They do come in off a lopsided 34-13 loss at New England, but they really beat themselves with 5 turnovers. Cincinnati actually outgained the Patriots 315 to 291. Joe Mixon was an absolute beast against New England rushing for 136 yards on 25 carries and that's now two straight monster games for him, as he had 146 yards on 23 attempts the week before against the Browns. Mixon should continue to roll here as the Dolphins come in with the league's 31st ranked run defense, giving up 140.9 ypg. I also don't love the spot here for Miami. Winning actually hurts the Dolphins more than it helps them, as they are in a position to get the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft if they were to lose out. I just think they have a hard time getting up for this game. If there's a game Miami will get up for it's next week's road game at New England. Give me the Bengals -110! |

12-22-19 | Panthers v. Colts -6.5 | 6-38 | Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
40* NFL SHARP MONEY ATS MASSACRE (Colts -6.5) I'll take my chances here with the Colts bouncing back from that ugly loss to the Saints on Monday Night Football and snapping their 4-game losing streak with a blowout win at home against the reeling Panthers. Carolina has already fired head coach Ron Rivera and while most teams respond to their head coach getting fired with a big effort, the Panthers have arguably gotten worse. Panthers have completely thrown in the towel on this season with them going to Will Grier at QB and with the way their defense is playing it's a recipe for disaster. Carolina last 5 games have saw them give up 29 to Falcons, 34 to the Saints, 29 to the Redskins, 40 to the Falcons and 30 to the Seahawks. Brissett really needs a good game here to solidify his spot as Indy's starting QB and I expect a big effort from the Colts defense after that awful showing against New Orleans. Give me the Colts -6.5! |

12-22-19 | Giants v. Redskins OVER 41 | 41-35 | Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
40* NFL OVER/UNDER TOTAL NO-BRAINER (OVER 41) These are two of the worst teams in the league and this is one of those games where the loser is actually the winner. Both teams are sitting at 3-11, tied for the second worst record in the NFL with the Dolphins. The team that loses would likely end up no worse than the No. 3 pick, potentially the No. 2 pick with the Dolphins favored at home against the Bengals this week. I just don’t think either team is going to be all that motivated to play any kind of defense in this game and it’s not like either of these teams are any good on that side of the ball to start with. Washington is 21st in total defense and New York are 25th. I also think both offenses are coming into this game with some momentum. Even though the Giants are likely to go to back to rookie Daniel Jones, I still think they are poised for a big game here. Jones played well in the first meeting against the Redskins and with Washington’s struggles against the run he won’t have to do it all. I’m not a Dwayne Haskins fan, but he has gotten a lot better as the season has progressed. He threw for a career high 261 yards last week against the Eagles and it’s no secret that the Giants have one of the worst secondaries in the league. I just think both teams are going to put up points and fully expect both sides to eclipse the 20-point mark and that’s really all we need to eclipse this low total. Give me the OVER 41! |

12-21-19 | Texans v. Bucs OVER 50 | 23-20 | Loss | -109 | 19 h 33 m | Show | |
40* NFL BUCS/TEXANS TOTAL MASSACRE (Over 50) I'll take my chances with the OVER 50 in Saturday's NFL game between the Bucs and Texans. At this point it’s almost automatic to lean OVER in any game involving the Buccaneers, as it’s cashed in 11 of their 14 games this season. There’s even more reason to like the OVER when you factor in how these two teams match up against one another. Houston has a very balanced offensive attack. Texans rank 7th in rushing (130.9 ypg) and 11th in passing (245.0 ypg). Key here is they will be forced to throw it against this Tampa defense, as the Bucs are allowing a league-low 73.3 rushing yards/game. The good news is Deshaun Watson should have no problem exploiting a TB defense that ranks 30th against the pass (276.8 ypg). On the flip side of this, the Bucs offense is riding the arm of Jameis Winston for better or worse. It’s resulted in Tampa Bay ranking 28th in rushing (91.4) and 1st in passing (308.8 ypg). While interceptions continue to haunt Winston, he’s coming in having thrown for 914 yards and 8 touchdowns in his last two games. He should stay hot, as the Texans are 28th against the pass (266.1 ypg) and have had a lot more trouble defending the pass since J.J. Watt went down. Give me the OVER 50! |

12-16-19 | Colts v. Saints OVER 46.5 | Top | 7-34 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
50* COLTS/SAINTS MNF SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (OVER 46.5) I'll gladly take my chances here with the OVER 46.5 between the Colts/Saints on Monday Night Football. New Orleans is rolling on the offensive side of the ball. While it was in a losing effort, the Saints put up 46 points and nearly 500 yards of offense against the 49ers last Sunday. They are now averaging 35.0 ppg in their last 4. They will be facing a Colts defense that has allowed 38 to the Bucs and 31 to the Titans in their last 2. Most recently they let Jameis Winston threw for 467 yards against them. As for the Colts offense, they should be able to hold their own in this game. New Orleans is not playing at the same level defensively as they did early in the year and they just suffered to massive injuries on that side of the ball, losing both Sheldon Rankins and Marcus Davenport to season-ending injuries. I think we could see these two eclipse this total by the 3rd quarter. Give me the OVER 46.5! |
|||||||
12-15-19 | Rams v. Cowboys UNDER 49 | 21-44 | Loss | -107 | 118 h 30 m | Show | |
40* NFL OVER/UNDER TOTAL SLAUGHTER (Under 49) I'll take my chances here with the UNDER 49 in Sunday's game that has the Cowboys hosting the Rams. I just see way too much value here with the number, as Dallas' offense has really struggled to produce against quality defenses and this is not an easy matchup for Prescott. LA has been really good against both the run and the pass. They have held 4 of their last 5 opponents to 106 or fewer rushing yards and have not allowed more than 202 passing yards in 4 straight. Dallas' defense made Mitch Trubisky look like a MVP last week and I think that's definitely playing into this number. I just didn't think the Cowboys played with any heart in that game. It was almost like they were shell-shocked that Trubisky could do what he did. Goff was great at home last week against the Seahawks, but he's notoriously a much worse QB on the road. This number says shootout, but I'm calling for a defensive battle. Give me the UNDER 49! |

12-15-19 | Patriots v. Bengals +10 | 34-13 | Loss | -120 | 116 h 1 m | Show | |
40* NFL PUBLIC MONEY ATS MASSACRE (Bengals +10) I'll take my chances with the Bengals as a double-digit home dog. It’s never easy betting against the Patriots,especially coming off a loss, but I just think there’s too much value here with Cincinnati in this one. The Bengals could have easily thrown in the towel on this season and just played for the No. 1 pick in the draft. That clearly wasn’t on the agenda, as they decided to go back to veteran quarterback Andy Dalton after benching him in favor of Ryan Finley. Bengals won Dalton’s first game back against the Jets two weeks ago and should have won last week at Cleveland, as they were the better team in that matchup. Dalton gives this Bengals offense life and defensively this team has been better than you would expect for a team that has a 1-12 record. Cincinnati has only given up more than 27 points twice all season and that was against the 49ers and Ravens. With the way the Patriots offense is struggling to move the football right now, I think the Bengals’ defense is going to play well in this one. Not to mention there’s a pretty decent chance Cincinnati takes this one personal with the news of New England filming then. This went from just another game to a matchup where I could see the Bengals treating it like their Super Bowl. As crazy as it might sound, I think there’s an outside shot the Bengals not only cover but win this game outright. Give me Cincinnati +10. |

12-15-19 | Bucs v. Lions OVER 47.5 | 38-17 | Win | 100 | 115 h 20 m | Show | |
40* NFL OVER/UNDER TOTAL NO-BRAINER (Over 47.5) I'll take my chances here with the OVER 47.5. The OVER has consistently hit in Tampa Bay games this year, going 10-3 with a strong 6-2 mark in their 8 games away from home. A big reason for that is the Bucs high-powered passing attack, which comes in ranked 2nd in the at 298.2 ypg. One that should be on full display this Sunday even with star wide out Mike Evans not expected to play. That’s because Winston will be up against a Lions secondary that ranks 30th in the league against the pass, giving up 276.5 ypg. Not to mention the ideal playing conditions in the dome. Note that Tampa has played two games in a dome this season. Both went over the total and the average combined score was 56 points. One reason this total isn’t 50+ is because of the Lions offense and how bad it looked last week. Not to mention they are down to 3rd string QB David Blough. However, Blough hasn’t been all that bad given his first two starts have come against two pretty good defenses in the Bears and Vikings. He had 280 yards and 2 TD’s at home against Chicago and the Bucs come into this one ranked 31st against the pass, giving up 278.8 ypg. I could see this one being something very similar to Tampa Bay’s last game with the Colts that ended up 38-35 with both teams eclipsing the 30-point mark. Either way I think they find a way to get to at least 48. Give me the OVER 47.5.! |

12-15-19 | Bears +4.5 v. Packers | 13-21 | Loss | -109 | 115 h 15 m | Show | |
40* NFL BLOCKBUSTER BOOKIE ATS SLAUGHTER (Bears +4.5) I'll take my chances here with Chicago covering the 4.5-point spread at Green Bay. The Bears have finally came alive on offense and that's a scary thing for any team going up against this them, as they are still playing at an elite level defensively. Green Bay's offense has struggled quite a bit here of late. They are only averaging 18.8 ppg in their last 5 and that's with them scoring 31 against the Giants. Last week they put up 14 points in the 1st quarter against the Redskins and then managed just 6 the rest of the way. It just feels like any time this team goes up against a top tier defense they really struggle to produce. They are only averaging 18.5 ppg in their last 4 games against the Bears and only managed 10 points on 213 total yards in the first meeting against Chicago this season. I think the Bears not only cover, but win this game outright. Give me Chicago +4.5! |

12-15-19 | Broncos v. Chiefs OVER 46 | Top | 3-23 | Loss | -109 | 115 h 8 m | Show |
50* NFL AFC WEST TOTAL OF THE YEAR (Over 46) I'll take my chances here with the OVER 46 in Sunday's AFC West matchup between the Broncos and Chiefs. I'm well aware that it's going to be snowing in KC before during and after the game. The betting public sees this and instantly wants to take the UNDER, but in reality the snow actually helps the offenses, as it's much harder to react on defense, as well as generate a pass rush. The biggest thing weather wise that hurts offense is wind and it's not suppose to be that windy. I just think this KC offense is ready to explode after being bottled up last week against the Patriots. With that said there's no shame in scoring 23 points on that NE defense, especially on the road and the Chiefs should have had a lot more. There's no question the KC defense has improved with each passing week, but it's far from elite and worse defenses have had success against Brady and the Pats here of late. I know they held the Broncos to just 6-points in the first meeting, but that was with Joe Flacco at quarterback. Drew Lock is a big upgrade over Flacco and he's going to generate some big plays. He's also likely to make a couple mistakes, which should lead to some quick scores for Mahomes and the Chiefs offense. Give me the OVER 46! |

12-12-19 | Jets v. Ravens OVER 44.5 | 21-42 | Win | 100 | 50 h 29 m | Show | |
40* JETS/RAVENS TNF TOTAL NO-BRAINER (OVER 44.5) I'll take my chances here with the OVER 44.5 I get the defensive numbers have been decent for New York this season, but look at who they have played. Outside of their division opponents, they have played the Browns, Eagles, Cowboys, Jags, Giants, Redskins, Raiders and Bengals. This is by far the best offensive they have faced. I know Lamar Jackson is nursing a quad injury, but he’s fully expected to play and I can’t imagine the Ravens sending him out there if they don’t feel he’s at or near 100%. I just don’t think the Jets will be able to slow this offense down and with Sam Darnold on the other side, I wouldn’t be shocked if Baltimore’s defense didn’t find the endzone in this one. While Darnold could make some costly mistakes, he’s also very capable of guiding this Jets offense up and down the field. Much like New York’s defense will struggle to play well on just 3-days of rest, the same can be said for Baltimore. Not to mention this has the feel of a big flat spot for that Ravens defense, as they have really put it all on the line the last four weeks against the Texans, Rams, 49ers and Bills. Give me the OVER 44.5. |

12-09-19 | Giants v. Eagles -9 | Top | 17-23 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
50* NFL VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Eagles -9) I'll take my chances here with Philadelphia winning by double-digits at home against the Giants on Monday Night Football. I know the Eagles are a big favorite here, but after last week's loss to the Dolphins dropped them to 5-7, Philadelphia's backs are firmly against the wall and it just seems like whenever the Eagles are in this spot they deliver in a big way. I think a lot of people are expecting Eli Manning to come out and play well after not suiting up the last 11 weeks and I just don't think that's going to be the case. I'm in the belief the Eagles didn't give the Dolphins the respect they deserved and that defense will respond in a big way. Note that in the previous 4 games Philadelphia had allowed 17 or fewer points and in their last home game held Russell Wilson to 174 passing yards on 13 of 25 attempts. The other big thing here is the Giants defense. New York is giving up 30.8 ppg and 404 ypg away from home this season. Give me the Eagles -9! |

12-08-19 | 49ers v. Saints -2 | 48-46 | Loss | -110 | 46 h 32 m | Show | |
40* NFL BLOCKBUSTER ATS SLAUGHTER (Saints -2) I'lll take my chances with New Orleans laying less than a field goal at home against the 49ers. I not only think this is a great price to back the Saints at home, but I also think the spot heavily favors New Orleans. The 49ers are a great team and I just feel like whenever an elite team suffers a loss the public’s first thought is they can’t lose two in a row. Sometimes that’s a valid theory, but I don’t think it applies here. It’s hard enough playing back-to-back road games in the NFL. The 49ers must try and do so after playing in the biggest game of the week and in one of the toughest places in the NFL to get a win in a game of this magnitude. Not only that, but New Orleans gets the luxury of having an extra 3 days to prepare for this game because they were one of the six teams to take the field on Thanksgiving Day. That extra rest is huge, especially this time of the year. A lot of attention has been given to the 49ers defense and rightfully so, but I think given the spot and just how talented Drew Brees is, especially with his ability to get rid of the ball quickly, this is one of those games where their defense could struggle. Since Sean Payton took over as head coach the Saints are 9-2 ATS vs teams who allow 17 or fewer points/game. When people talk about New Orleans it’s usually centered around Brees and the offense, but they got a top notch defense this year. They 10th in the NFL, giving up just 323.5 ypg. The big stat however is that they own the league’s No. 1 ranked run defense. I think we have seen some limitations to Jimmy G and the 49ers passing game here of late and I just think they are going to have a hard time moving the ball with how much they figure to struggle to run the ball. It’s also worth pointing out that when New Orleans has been matched up against the leagues best, they have been an absolute money maker. Saints are 9-1 ATS under Payton in games against an elite team that is outscoring opponents by 10+ points/game. Not only have they covered just about every game, they are winning by an average of 10 ppg. Give me New Orleans -2! |

40* NFL VEGAS ATS LINE MISTAKE (Redskins +14) I'll take my chances here with Washington getting two touchdowns against the Packers on Sunday. The Redskins have something going right now and I just think the line here is a reflection of their overall body of work and now how they are playing. I know Haskins is a major work in progress, but they have got the running game going and this Green Bay defense is susceptible to big plays. The Packers ended up winning by 18 last week at the Giants, but a lot of that was Rodgers ability to pick apart a bad New York secondary. Redskins secondary ranks in the top half of the league in yards allowed and Green Bay doesn't have the best running game to take advantage of their weakness defensively. Give me the Redskins +14! |

40* NFL SHARP MONEY ATS MASSACRE (Bengals +7.5) I'll take my chances with the Bengals getting 7.5 on the road against the Browns. Cincinnati showed a lot of heart and fight getting their first win of the season last week against the Jets and I think we are going to see this team continue to play hard over the final month of the regular-season. As for the Browns, their playoff hopes just took a massive blow in their loss to the Steelers and I just don't understand how this team can be laying a touchdown against any team in the league right now. Andy Dalton is a massive upgrade at QB for Cincinnati over Ryan Finley and they are expected to get back wide out John Ross. I not only think there's a good chance the Bengals cover, but I wouldn't be shocked if they won this game outright. Give me Cincinnati +7.5! |

12-08-19 | Colts v. Bucs -3 | 35-38 | Push | 0 | 44 h 3 m | Show | |
40* NFL NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Bucs -3) I'll take my chances here with Tampa Bay laying just a field goal at home against the Colts. The Bucs are going down with a fight and this team is off two really impressive wins. They won at Atlanta 35-22 stopping a red-hot Falcons team in their tracks and last week laid it on the Jaguars 28-11. As for the Colts, they are headed in the opposite direction. Indy has lost 4 of 5 and just gave the game away last week to the Titans. I just think the offensive injuries for the Colts are getting too much for them to overcome and I really don't like the matchup here for Indy with how good the Bucs are at defending the run. Give me Tampa Bay -3! |

12-08-19 | Lions +13 v. Vikings | Top | 7-20 | Push | 0 | 44 h 5 m | Show |
50* LIONS/VIKINGS NFC NORTH GAME OF THE MONTH (Lions +13) I'll gladly take my chances here with the Lions catching double-digits against division rival Minnesota on Sunday. The Lions are just 3-8-1 and have lost 5 straight, but the talent is there. Of their 8 losses this season, only one has come by more than 8 points and their largest deficit is by just 12. They have had the lead in so many of their games this year and just haven't been able to finish. I just don't see this team laying down against a division opponent and I don't love this spot for Minnesota coming off that crazy loss to the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. Not only will the Vikings be playing on short rest, the Lions will have had 3 extra days of prep time after playing on Thursday last week. Give me Detroit +13! |

12-05-19 | Cowboys -3 v. Bears | Top | 24-31 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
50* NFL VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Cowboys -3) I'll take my chances here with Dallas as a small road favorite. For me it comes down to quarterback play and who I trust more to make the big plays when needed. It’s not really much of a debate in my eyes. Dak Prescott is far from elite, but he’s a heck of a lot better than Mitch Trubisky. Not only do the Bears have a liability at quarterback in Trubisky, but they don’t have any real weapons at receiver or tight end and the running game has been non-existent. Chicago has rushed for more than 90 yards just twice all season and only once in their last 10 games. When you can’t effectively run the ball on first down, you end up with a lot of 3rd and long situations and Trubisky isn’t a guy that convert those on a consistent basis. I’m also not buying the thought that the Bears have turned their season around with 3 wins in their last 4 games. Especially when you take into consideration that two of those were against the Lions and the other was against the Giants and they won all 3 by 7 or less. Sure the Cowboys were embarrassed on Thanksgiving by Buffalo, but that’s a really good Bills team. They also hurt themselves in that defeat, as they only managed 15 points despite putting up over 425 yards of total offense. Give me Dallas -3! |

50* NFL VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Seahawks -2.5) I'll take my chances here with Seattle laying less than a field goal at home on Monday Night Football. I just think Minnesota is getting way too much respect here coming off of their bye. Seahawks are 9-2 on MNF since Pete Carroll came to town, which speaks volumes to just how tough it is to win at CenturyLink Field in prime time games. The Vikings clearly aren't a bad team with a 8-3 record, but it worth noting that they currently don't have a single win against a team that currently has a winning record. In their last 3 games they lost at KC without Mahomes, won at Dallas by 4 despite getting outgained by 79 yards and had to rally from 20 down to beat the Broncos at home. Seattle is also a team that I think has gotten better with each week and with a win can take over the top spot in the NFC West and put themselves in a position for a first round bye. Give me Seattle -2.5! |

40* NFL SITUATIONAL ATS MASSACRE (Chiefs -10) I'll take my chances here with KC not just beating the Raiders but laying it on Oakland. Chiefs are as healthy as they have been in a long time and Andy Reid is as good as it gets coming off a bye. Reid is 17-3 as a head coach off a bye week in the regular-season. With a chance to basically lock up the AFC West with a win against the Raiders, I think we see the Chiefs make a statement Sunday afternoon at Arrowhead. Give me Kansas City -10! |

40* NFL OVER/UNDER TOTAL NO-BRAINER (OVER 47) I'll take my chances here with the OVER 47. This game has shootout written all over it and I think we are getting a great price here because of how bad the Rams offense looked in that blowout loss to the Ravens. While I do think LA's got some problems with their offense, they should have no trouble moving the ball here against a bad Cardinals defense. Arizona's giving up 30.6 ppg 417 ypg and 6.6 yards/play at home this season. Key here is I think Murray and the Cardinals offense can go score-for-score with the Rams. Give me the OVER 47! |

40* NFL BLOCKBUSTER ATS SLAUGHTER (49ers +6) I'll take my chances here with the 49ers all day long at this price. The Ravens are a great team, but Baltimore is way overvalued coming off that big blowout win over the Rams on MNF. If there's one team that's built to slow down Lamar Jackson and that high-powered Ravens offense, it's this 49ers squad. San Francisco's got the talent up front to keep Jackson from running wild. At the same time, I think the 49ers are also good enough to go score for score with Baltimore. I think this going to be tight the entire way and this is just too many points to pass up. Give me the 49ers +6! |

40* NFL BIG MONEY ATS MASSACRE (Panthers -10) I'll take my chances here with Carolina covering as a double-digit home favorite against the Redskins. I know Washington pulled off a win last week against Detroit, but that was at home and against the Lions. Big thing to note from that game is the Haskins and Redskins offense did next to nothing in that game and I just don't think he's ready for the NFL. Panthers have been struggling of late, but are not going to throw in the towel just yet. I expect a max effort here at home and that should be more than enough to win here by at least two touchdowns. Give me the Panthers -10! |

50* NFL AFC SOUTH PLAY OF THE MONTH (Colts -2.5) I just think there’s a ton of value here with Indianapolis laying less than a field goal at home. I think a big reason for the line is the fact that the Colts come in having lost 3 of 4 and the Titans have won 4 of 5. What most will fail to overlook is that Tennessee’s recent hot streak has come in a very favorable spot in their schedule. All 4 wins during their recent run have come at home and only one of those was against a team with a winning record. As for the Colts recent woes. You can’t knock them for losing at Houston on just 3-days of rest and the other two were a 24-26 loss at Pittsburgh and a 12-16 loss to the Dolphins. Starting QB Jacoby Brissett left in the 2nd quarter with a knee injury against the Steelers and Adam Vinatieri missed a potential game-winning field goal in the final minutes. Indy didn’t have Brissett for the loss to Miami and backup Brian Hoyer threw 3 picks in the defeat. What a lot of people overlook with the Colts is just how good they are on the defensive side of the ball. Indy has really done a 180 on that the last couple of years. Colts are only giving up 19.7 ppg on the season and that drops to a mere 17.8 ppg on the road. One thing they have been really good at of late is stopping the run. Since giving up 188 yards rushing to the Raiders in Week 4, they have allowed just 76.7 ypg. If you can take away Derek Henry and the Titans running game, there’s really not much that offense can do to beat you. They just don’t have the weapons on the outside. Colts are also 40-19 ATS last 59 times they have come off a SU loss, 8-1 ATS in their last 9 vs a team with a winning record and a perfect 7-0 ATS last 7 times they have been matched up against a division opponent. Give me Indianapolis -2.5! |

40* SAINTS/FALCONS PRIME-TIME ATS NO-BRAINER (Saints -6.5) I'll take my chances here with New Orleans winning by at least a touchdown. Hard to imagine the Falcons defense having as much success as they did in the first meeting, making it hard to believe Atlanta can score enough here to keep this close, especially when they are likely to be without star wide out Julio Jones. I also don't trust the mental state of the Falcons. Prior to that upset against the Saints in the first meeting, the Falcons were coming out of their bye believing if they won that game they had a shot to turn their season around. Now there's next to no hope for this team. They are 6-games back of the Saints in the NFC South with 5 to play, so the division is out of the picture. They are also 5-games back of the Vikings with 5 to play for the final Wild Card and have 7 teams in front of them. I just don't know that this being a division home game is enough to get the juices flowing. Lastly, the Saints are going to come in with a chip on their shoulder after what happened in that last meeting. They still got plenty of motivation to finish with one of the two best records in the NFC and with a win they can lock up the NFC South title. Give me the Saints -6.5! |

50* BILLS/COWBOYS THANKSGIVING DAY TOP PLAY (Cowboys -6.5) I'll take my chances here with Dallas laying less than a touchdown at home against the Bills. While I think people have made a big mistake betting against Buffalo in previous games simply because of their soft schedule (Bills were one of my favorite plays last week against Denver), I do think they are going to have a tough time here keeping it close against a good Dallas team on the road. First and foremost, it’s extremely difficult playing on the road in these Thursday games, where you have just 3 days of rest, especially for the team that has to travel. Keep in mind that while Buffalo was at home last week, they will be playing their 3rd road game in the last 4 weeks, so they have been on the go a lot of late. At the same time, Dallas has a lot of familiarity playing on Thanksgiving Day and usually play well in this spot in front of their home fans. Last year the beat the Redskins 31-23. One thing that I think really speaks volumes to Buffalo’s schedule and how easy it’s been, is the fact that their opponents on the season are averaging a mere 18.5 ppg and 304 ypg. It definitely makes you think twice about their defensive numbers, as they look elite giving up just 15.7 ppg and 289 ypg. I also think it’s fair to say that Dallas and Philadelphia are two pretty evenly matched teams and Buffalo lost 31-13 at home to the Eagles back in Week 8. Philadelphia was able to impose their will on the ground in that game, rushing for 218 yards. When Dallas can get Zeke and that running game going, that offense is really tough to stop. Give me the Cowboys -6.5! |

50* RAVENS/RAMS MNF SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Over 46.5) I'll take my chances here with the Ravens and Rams eclipsing the total set by the books on Monday Night Football. LA has a solid defense, but there's just no slowing down Lamar Jackson and that Ravens offense. His ability to make something out of nothing is unreal and it's really deflating as a defense to do everything right and still give up the big play. Key here is I think the Rams are poised to go score-for-score with Baltimore. Goff is much better at home and will have his full compliment of weapons at his disposal with Cooks back from injury. Baltimore's defense is good but not great and I think they struggle to play well in this one. Give me the OVER 46.5! |

50* PACKERS/49ERS SNF PLAY OF THE YEAR (49ers -3) I'll gladly take my chances here with San Francisco getting right at home on Sunday Night Football against the Packers. I think after a couple of lackluster performances the 49ers are going to lay a beating on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. I just don't think that Green Bay offensive line has any chance here of keeping that 49ers front from making life miserable for Rodgers. On the flip side of this, I think San Francisco's offense is poised to get back on track with the return of tight end George Kittle, who missed the last two. 49ers are also expected to have both wideouts Deebo Samuel and Emanuel Sanders after both were listed as questionable, they are now probable. Give me San Francisco -3! |

40* NFL NO DOUBT ATS KNOCKOUT (Patriots -5.5) I'll gladly take my chances here with New England winning by 6 or more at home against the Cowboys. I just think New England is the far superior team. Not only that, they just don't lose at home, especially at this juncture of the season. Patriots are a ridiculous 33-13 ATS at home with Tom Brady at quarterback. I think that offense will be able to move the ball here, but more than anything I think a Cowboys offense that is hurting on the offensive line is going to have a miserable time moving the football. GIve me the Patriots -5.5! |

40* NFL BOOKIE ATS SLAUGHTER (Bills -4) I'll take my chances here with the Bills laying a short number at home. I just think people are so quick to want to fade Buffalo because of the easy schedule they have played. I’m not about to sit here and say it hasn’t been easy or this team is as good as their 7-3 record, but this is just too good a price to pass up. I also think we are seeing Denver get some love due to the fact that they nearly won outright as a double-digit dog last week at Minnesota and are a perfect 2-0 ATS with Brandon Allen at quarterback for the injured Joe Flacco. I was on Denver last week in their near upset over the Vikings, but a lot of that was due to the fact that the Broncos were way undervalued at +10.5. They were also coming off their bye week and facing a Minnesota team that was primed for a letdown with their bye on deck and fresh off two huge prime time games against the Chiefs and Cowboys. The biggest thing for me and jumping off the Broncos bandwagon this week is how they lost that game to the Vikings. I don’t care how big of a dog you are, losing a game you lead by 20-points at the half and by 16 going into the 4th quarter is one that is extremely difficult to bounce back. I think it’s that much harder when you have to go on the road against a hungry Bills team that desperately needs to win this game with their next 4 games against the Cowboys, Ravens, Steelers and Patriots. Not to mention that loss to the Vikings was one the Broncos had to have to have any shot at getting back in the AFC playoff race. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Denver came out and played their worst game of the season on Sunday. Give me the Bills -4! |

40* NFL VEGAS ODDSMAKERS LINE MISTAKE (Lions -3.5) I'll take my chances here with Detroit laying a short number at the Redskins. I just think this is a good price on the Lions. I know they have lost 3 straight and failed to cover 5 in a row, but they have played well here of late. Not have Stafford sucks, but I like what I've seen from Driskel against a couple of decent defenses in the Bears and Cowboys. He should have a big game here against a Redskins defense that was just shredded by Sam Darnold last week. The other big thing is the fact that Washington is sending out Haskins at QB and he's just not NFL ready and a big liability on the field. Detroit's defense should have a great game and could even get in on the scoring action. Give me the Lions -3.5! |

50* NFL NFC SOUTH GAME OF THE MONTH (Falcons -3.5) I'll gladly take my chances here with Atlanta laying a short number at home against the Bucs. These two teams have identical 3-7 records, but it doesn't feel like it. Tampa Bay is on a downward spiral, while the Falcons have seemed to figure things out. Any concern that Atlanta's 26-9 win at New Orleans was a fluke were put to rest in a 29-3 win at Carolina last week. What was once one of the worst defenses in the league is playing like one of the best. I'll take my chances that strong defensive play carries over. With the way Tampa struggles to stop the pass and the weapons Atlanta has on the outside, this could get ugly in a hurry. Give me the Falcons -3.5! |

11-21-19 | Colts v. Texans -3.5 | 17-20 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
40* NFL COLTS/TEXANS TNF ATS SLAUGHTER (Texans -3.5) I just think this is a great price to get the Texans coming off their worst performance of the season. I was actually shocked with how much respect Houston was getting on the road against a Ravens team that is playing as well anyone right now. It’s just a lot harder than people think to slow down Lamar Jackson and that Ravens offense. As is the case for a lot of teams that go against Baltimore, the Texans just couldn’t stop the Ravens running game. Baltimore piled on 263 yards on the ground. The good news is that prior to giving up all those yards on the ground to the Ravens, Houston had gone 7 straight games where they held their opponent under 95 yards rushing. In the previous matchup with the Colts, they held Indy to just 62 yards on 26 attempts. I know the Colts got the win despite the low rushing numbers, but I don’t think it will be as easy for them to score without being able to run the ball on the road. Another thing to keep in mind with that previous result against the Colts, is that Indianapolis had a big advantage in that game coming off their bye week. Now it’s the Texans who get the big scheduling advantage playing at home on just 3 days of rest. You also have to love how Houston has responded after a bad game like they had against the Ravens. The Texans are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a game where they gave up more than 150 rushing yards. They are also 16-7-1 ATS last 24 after scoring fewer than 15 points. Houston is also 7-1-1 ATS last 9 off a game where they failed to cover and 27-12 ATS last 39 when revenging a loss where they gave up 28 or more points. Give me the Texans -3.5! |

50* NFL VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Chiefs -4) I'll take my chances here with Kansas City covering the spread over the Chargers on Monday Night Football in Mexico City. I know the Chiefs are coming off an ugly loss at Tennessee where they gifted the Titans the win. I still think this KC team is a legit Super Bowl contender. Patrick Mahomes was sensational in his first game back from a dislocated knee cap, throwing for over 400 yards with 3 scores. KC's defense struggled with containing Derek Henry, but I still like what I've seen from them on that side. They are much improved over a year ago and this Chargers offense hasn't been anything special. Give me the Chiefs -4! |

11-17-19 | Patriots -4 v. Eagles | Top | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 30 h 34 m | Show |
50* NFL NON-CONF PLAY OF THE YEAR(Patriots -4) I'll gladly take my chances here with the Patriots on Sunday. For me it's automatic to take New England coming off a loss and an absolute no-brainer if they are coming off a bye. I expect a big bounce back effort from the Patriots defense. The big reason they struggled with Baltimore in their last game is there's just no defending an elite mobile quarterback like Lamar Jackson. Also, if coming off a loss and a bye wasn't enough to get you to take the Patriots, I got to believe NE wants some revenge against the Eagles after losing to them in the SB a couple years back, as this is the first meetings since that game. Pats are 16-5 ATS last 21 off a loss by 14 or more and 9-2 ATS last 11 on the road after a bye week. Give me New England -4! |

40* NFL VEGAS UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK (Cardinals +10.5) I'll take my chances here with Arizona as a double-digit dog against the Cardinals. Whenever you have a big public team like the 49ers coming off a loss after being so good for so long, the public just assumes they are going to bounce back. I just don't see it. The injuries are really starting to pile up for SF. Jimmy G will once again be without his best weapon in tight end George Kittle and there's a good chance he won't have his new toy in Emmanuel Sanders. 49ers also lost a couple of key rotation guys up front on their d-line. Arizona is 6-3 ATS with rookie QB Kyler Murray and have covered 5 of their last 6 overall, including a mere 3-point loss at home to these 49ers a few weeks ago. Give me the Cardinals +10.5! |

40* NFL PUBLIC ATS MASSACRE (Broncos +10.5) I see a lot of value here with the Broncos as a double-digit dog against the Vikings. I just think we are seeing a big overreaction here with the Vikings off their win at Dallas in prime time on Sunday Night Football. Not only that, but Denver’s not a team the public wants a lot to do with right now, so the books are able to inflate the number knowing the public will be on Minnesota no matter what the number is. I’m not going to sit here and say Denver is a great team, but I do think they are better than their 3-6 record. The Broncos could easily have a winning record, as they got 4 losses by 8 or less, including 3 defeats by a mere 2-points. In Denver’s last game they gave Brandon Allen his first NFL start in place of the injured Joe Flacco. While they might have been forced into making the switch because of Flacco’s injury, it felt like a move needed to be made. Flacco was playing really bad before getting hurt and it often looked like he didn’t even want to be out there. I think his negative attitude was rubbing off on the entire team and things just weren’t going to get better with him on the field. I get Allen didn’t light the world on fire in his first start, but he did guide the team to a win over Cleveland and played pretty well in process. More than anything Allen seemed to give a new sense of life to this Denver team and I think it’s going to carry over to this game. I also like the fact that the Broncos are coming into this game off of their bye. Not only is it big in terms of getting some much-needed rest and getting guys healthy, it also gives the staff some time to work in a little more of the offense with Allen. The other big thing here is the Denver defense has been playing extremely well all season long. Not a big surprise given the defensive prowess of head coach Vic Fango. In the Broncos last 5 games they are giving up just 74.2 rushing/yards game. They also have the league’s 4th ranked pass defense. I feel like the best way to slow down this Vikings offense is to take away Dalvin Cook and the Minnesota ground attack. Note that both of the Vikings losses this season have come in games where they failed to rush for 100 yards. I’m not saying Denver will pull off the upset, but I definitely like their chances of keeping it within the number. Give me the Broncos +10.5! |

40* NFL BLOCKBUSTER BOOKIE ATS SLAUGHTER (Cowboys -6.5) I'll take my chances here with the Cowboys winning by at least a touchdown at Detroit on Sunday. Lions will once again be without Matthew Stafford and will have to start Jeff Driskel. The Lions managed just 13 points against the Bears last week and 7 of those came on a late garbage TD. If Chicago's offense wasn't so awful, they would have won by 20+ and I could see Dallas laying it on them. Not a good matchup at all for the Lions. Detroit has no running game and the passing game is now limited with Driskel and will be facing a Cowboys defense that ranks in the top half of the league against the pass. It's not good on the other side. No one has been able to contain Zeke and the Cowboys ground game and the Lions are 28th vs the pass, so it's going to be a real balanced attack for Dak and the Cowboys. Give me Dallas -6.5! |

50* NFL AFC SHARP MONEY PLAY OF THE MONTH (Ravens -4) I don't know that there's a team playing better than the Ravens right now and I while the Texans are coming off of their bye, I don't see Houston being able to keep pace with Lamar Jackson and that Baltimore offense. Keep in mind there's a little extra incentive for Jackson, who certainly hasn't forgot about that heartbreaking loss he suffered in college to Deshaun Watson and Clemson. He will be out to get his revenge on Sunday. Give me Baltimore -4! |

11-14-19 | Steelers v. Browns OVER 41 | Top | 7-21 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
50* NFL VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (OVER 41) I'll take my chances with the OVER 41. I almost always lean to the OVER in these Thursday night games, as I just don’t think defenses can play up to their potential on just 3 days of rest. On top of that, I think we are getting a pretty decent number here with both of these teams coming off games in Week 10 where neither side scored 20 points. Not only do I think both defenses will struggle with getting their bodies up to speed on just 3 days of rest, but I could see both defenses being a bit emotionally drained from really big games at home last week. No one was giving the Steelers a shot at beating the Rams at home and few believed in the Browns being able to beat the Bills. Both defenses had to give everything they had in those wins, which I think only adds to the likelihood that they struggle a bit on Thursday. Also, history is on our side. Only once in the last 5 meetings have these two teams failed to reach 40 points. Last year they combined for 42 in Cleveland and 51 at Pittsburgh. I think we could see Cleveland’s offense see an uptick in production now that Kareem Hunt is finally eligible. Hunt made his debut last week and rushed for 30 yards on just 4 attempts (7.5 yards/carry). He also had 7 receptions for 44 yards. Hunt was a difference maker with the Chiefs in his brief time in the league. As for the Steelers offense, they are expected to get back running back James Conner, who has missed the last two weeks with a shoulder injury. Conner is a big upgrade over what the Steelers had to use without him. Give me the OVER 41! |

50* SEAHAWKS/49ERS MNF SHARP TOP PLAY (49ers -6) I'll take my chances here with the 49ers winning by at least a touchdown at home against the Seahawks. I just think it's going to be really hard for Seattle to make a game out of this. Seahawks rely so much on Russell Wilson and their passing game and will be going up against an elite 49ers pass defense that is giving up just 139 ypg and 4.9 yards/attempt. It's not just the defense. San Francisco has a better offense than they get credit for and are averaging 35.3 ppg at home. 49ers will be out to make a statement on Monday Night Football. Give me SF -6! |

50* NFL NON-CONF GAME OF THE YEAR (Rams -3.5) I give a lot of props to Pittsburgh and how they have continued to play hard, but I just think they are getting a little too much love here. The thing you have to keep in mind is that 3 of their 4 wins have come at home against the Bengals, Dolphins and Colts. Not to mention Indy lost their starting QB early in that game. I just don’t think their offense is going to be able to keep up. Pittsburgh has struggled to effectively run the football and Rudolph hasn’t been that impressive. If they can’t run the ball, that’s a problem, because they won’t be able to play keepaway from the Rams offense. Nothing supports this more than the fact that the LA is a perfect 7-0 ATS under Sean McVay against teams who are averaging 90 or less rushing yards game. The Rams just aren’t covering in this spot, they are destroying teams. Their average margin of victory is by 19.7 ppg (35.1 to 15.4). Another thing is that you almost just have to back road favorites blindly when coming off a bye. Teams laying points on the road with 2 or more weeks of rest are 100-57 (64%) ATS dating back to 1983. Steelers are also just 2-5 ATS last 7 at home vs a team with a winning road record and Rams are 6-0 ATS last 6 on the road. Give me Los Angeles -3.5! |

40* NFL NO DOUBT ATS KNOCKOUT (Chiefs -6) I'll take my chances here with the Chiefs laying less than a touchdown on the road against the Titans. With Mahomes set to return this week for KC, I just don't see Tennessee being able to keep pace offensively against what I believe is hands down the best offense in the league with Mahomes under center. Kansas City isn't just getting Mahomes back, they are as healthy as they have been since Week 1. I just don't think we have seen anything close to the best football for this team and with the way the defense is improving each and every week, they would be my pick to win it all right now. Give me the Chiefs -6! |

40* NFL SITUATIONAL ATS NO-BRAINER (Browns -2.5) I'll take my chances here with Cleveland laying less than a field goal at home against the Bills. Most have thrown in the towel on the Browns this season and it's hard to blame them, given they are just 2-6 overall and come in having lost 4 and failed to cover in straight. I expect a big effort here from Cleveland in this one and I think Buffalo is a team they can handle, especially at home. Bills are 6-2, but haven't beat anybody. Buffalo's 6 wins are against the Jets, Giants, Bengals, Titans, Dolphins and Redskins. Tennessee is the only one of those teams with more than 2 wins. Speaking of schedules, the Browns have played one of the toughest slates in the league. They have played 5 of their first 8 on the road with 3 of those against the Ravens, 49ers and Patriots. They also have had two home games against top tier teams in the Rams and Seahawks. Give me Cleveland -2.5! |

40* NFL OVER/UNDER TOTAL MASSACRE (Over 51.5) I'll take my chances here with the OVER 51.5, as I think this has the potential to be one of the highest scoring games of the season. OVER has cashed in 6 straight games for Tampa Bay with every single one of those game seeing at least 50 points. Bucs have allowed 30 or more points in 5 of their last 6. The only team they held under the mark is an awful Titans offense, who put up 27. Cardinals have allowed 28 or more in 3 of their last 4 and have scored 25 or more in 4 of their last 5. Give me the OVER 51.5! |

50* LIONS/BEARS NFC NORTH GAME OF THE MONTH (Bears -2.5) The public perception couldn’t be much worse with Chicago right now and I think it’s created unbelievable value with the Bears laying less than a field goal at home. There’s no denying that Trubisky is not playing well, but I don’t think he can play any worse than he has. If anything, he’s due for a breakout performance. One thing that I think gets overlooked with the Bears and most notably Trubisky’s poor start to the season, is the fact that Chicago has played a bunch of really good defensive teams. The only bad defense he’s faced in 2019 is the Redskins and he threw for 231 yards and 3 scores. Detroit’s defense has been holding them back all season and their secondary is 30th in the league, giving up 288.4 ypg. Another thing that has quietly gone under the radar a bit in the Bears offensive struggles, is rookie running back David Montgomery is starting to get going. While he had just 40 yards against the Eagles, he scored twice and had a lot of nice runs in the 2nd half. The week before he had 135 yards against the Chargers. Lions run defense has allowed 165 or more yards in 3 of their last 4. I think we see the Chicago offense come to life, while the Bears defense makes life difficult on Matt Stafford and the Lions offense. Detroit’s offense just hasn’t been the same since losing Kerryon Johnson to a season-ending injury. Stafford has played 30 games in his career against strong defensive teams that allow 15 to 21 ppg and has won just 6 times. Bears are 18-7 ATS last 25 at home off 3 straight losses and 22-8 ATS last 30 at home after two straight games with a turnover margin of -1 or worse. Give me Chicago -2.5! |

50* NFL VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Chargers -119) I just feel like the price is too good to pass up with Los Angeles. Even though the Chargers are off such an impressive win, I still think we are getting some value on the line because of how bad they have been to this point. I also think it helps the Raiders come in off a big home win and cover. Usually the home team has a big edge in these Thursday games, but it’s minimal travel here for the Chargers. You also have to factor in how LA has dominated the series with 4 straight wins. You never want to overreact in the NFL, but I think it’s smart to try and get ahead of some things. There was just a different feel to that Chargers offense under Steichen. They hadn’t rushed for more than 40 yards in 4 straight games and finished with a season-high 159 yards in his first game calling the plays. Not only that, Rivers carved up the Packers secondary and that’s a Green Bay defense that had really been impressive over the first half of the season. Now the Chargers get to carry over that confidence and momentum on offense against one of the league’s worst defenses. As for LA’s defense, they haven’t been the problem this year. I think seeing the offense finally get going really lit a fire under this team and when the offense is getting first downs they are able to stay fresh and let their dominant front 7 go to work. If this defense can slow down the Raiders running game, this thing could get ugly. Give me the Chargers! |

50* COWBOYS/GIANTS MNF ATS NO-BRAINER (Cowboys -6.5) I'll take my chances here with Dallas laying less than a touchdown against the Giants. These two teams played in Week 1 and the Cowboys rolled to a 35-17. They were really in complete control the whole way, leading 21-7 at the half and 35-10 going into the 4th quarter. People are wanting to give the Giants a pass on that game because Eli Manning started, but it's not like he played bad. Manning was 30 or 44 with 306 yards and a TD (0 interceptions). How much more can the rookie Daniel Jones give them? Dallas had that ugly 3-game losing streak before crushing the Eagles 37-10 in Week 7. They took that win into the bye and that extra time to prepare for this game is huge. Philadelphia has also rolled off 2 straight wins since they beat them and they need this game to stay in front of the NFC East. Cowboys have only been outgained in 1 game this season and that was by 9 yards at New Orleans against the Saints in a 12-10 loss. In their loss to Green Bay they outgained the Packers by 228 yards. Giants defense is awful. Dallas is 13-2 ATS Last 15 division games and have covered 5 straight against the Giants. New York is just 2-9-1 ATS last 12 at home. Give me the Cowboys -6.5! |

40* NFL (Patriots -3) I'll take my chances with New England laying just a field goal against the Ravens. There really doesn't need to be a lot said. The Patriots are a ridiculous 46-19 (71%) ATS in their last 65 games. I get the schedule has been easy, but if you think that's why the defense has been so good you are wrong. The defense is good because Belichick is the defensive coordinator. I look for the Patriots defense to gameplan 100% around keeping Jackson in the pocket and forcing him to make throws from the pocket, something I'm still not convinced he can do consistently. This is also not the same caliber a Ravens defense as years past. Give me the Pats -3! |

50* NFC LATE AFTERNOON TOTAL OF THE YEAR (Over 52.5) The OVER has cashed in each of the Bucs last 5 games and it’s pretty easy to see why with all the points they are giving up. Tampa Bay has allowed 30+ points in 5 of their 7 games this season. I also don’t think this is an ideal spot for the defense to play well against an elite quarterback like Russell Wilson (TB 31st vs pass) and the fact that a lot of the Bucs players have to be running on fumes. Tampa Bay hasn’t played a home game since Week 3 (Sept. 22) as 4 of their last 5 have been true road games and the other was played in London. As for Seattle’s defense, this is not the same vaunted Seahawks defense of years past. Seahawks are 27th against the pass and middle of the pack against the run. While the OVER is just 4-3 in their last 5, each of the last two games have barely stayed UNDER. They combined for 46 with a total of 48.5 against the Ravens and 47 with a total of 48.5 against the Falcons. OVER is 15-5 in the Bucs last 20 road games and that includes a 9-2 OVER mark on the road with a total of 45.5 or more. OVER is also 11-2 in the Seahawks last 13 home games after a contest where they gave up 7 or more yards/play in their last game. Give me the OVER 52.5! |

40* NFL (Bills -10) I'll take my chances here with the Bills as a double-digit favorite against the Redskins. As soon as Washington named Haskins the starter because Keenum was out, I knew I was going to be on Buffalo. Not only do I think the Bills defense will be too much for Haskins, who has shown nothing to make you think he's ready for this stage, but I also love that we are getting Buffalo off that ugly loss to the Eagles at home last week. That almost guarantees there will be zero looking past this bad Redskins team. Look for a few Redskins turnovers to play a big part in this thing getting out of control. Give me the Bills -10! |

40* NFL (Bears +4.5) I'll take my chances with Chicago as a 4.5-point dog. Everyone is throwing the Bears under the bus right now and no one is picking Chicago to win this game with the Eagles coming off that big win over Buffalo. I just don't trust Philadelphia as much as others. I still think this team is overvalued because of their SB win a couple years ago. We have not seen the same Carson Wentz that was the MVP frontrunner before getting hurt a couple years ago. I think the Bears defense is going to really give Wentz and that offense fits in this game. Chicago's offense is struggling to score, but have moved the ball much better in their two games since their bye. They had almost 400 yards last week against the Chargers and just 16 points to show for it. Give me the Bears +4.5! |

11-03-19 | Titans v. Panthers -3 | Top | 20-30 | Win | 100 | 28 h 8 m | Show |
50* NFL NON-CONF PLAY OF THE MONTH (Panthers -3) I just feel like this is the ideal spot to jump on the Panthers and I think we are getting a great price due to the fact that Carolina is off that ugly 51-13 loss at San Francisco and the Titans come in off back-to-back wins and covers. First things first, the Panthers are the first team to get their butts kicked by the 49ers. Sure the offense only had 13 points and Kyle Allen played like crap, but San Francisco hasn’t allowed more than 20 points in any game this season. As for Allen and him throwing for just 158 yards with a 0-3 TD-INT ratio, that is not all that surprising against that defense. The 49ers have only given up 284 passing yards in their last 4 games combined. Prior to that performance Allen had really been playing well. In the previous 4 games during the Panthers 4-game winning streak, he averaged 225 yards/game and posted a perfect 7-0 TD-INT ratio. Titans are just middle of the pack in passing defense and have allowed over 600 yards thru the air in their last two games. Not only do I expect Allen to have a big bounce back performance, I think we get an unbelievable effort from the entire Panthers team. It’s so much easier to respond from a blowout loss than a game where you lose in the final seconds. As for the Titans, I think this team is very fortunate to be 4-4. All 4 wins have come against teams who have losing records and own a combined 8-22 mark on the season. Last week they were outgained by the Bucs 389 to 246 and their only two TD drives in the first 3 quarters were off turnovers where the offense had to go 10 yards or less. History is also on our side. Panthers are 23-6 under head coach Ron Rivera when off a road loss and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 under Rivera when off a road loss by 14 or more points. Give me Carolina -3! |

10-31-19 | 49ers v. Cardinals +10.5 | 28-25 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
40* 49ERS/CARDINALS TNF ATS KNOCKOUT (Cardinals +10.5) After last week’s blowout win over the Panthers, I’m seeing quite a few people in the media lay claim to the 49ers as being the best team in the NFL. As much as the San Francisco players will say they aren’t listening to the hype, it’s almost impossible not to and this just has the feeling of a game they could come out flat and possibly get beat. One thing you can count on is the Cardinals giving everything they have in this matchup. I think a lot of people are going to look at the lopsided loss to the Saints and just assume this team won’t be able to hand with the 49ers, but that was a 8-point game going into the 4th quarter. This team had won 3 straight prior to that loss and not many teams are going to play well in New Orleans with how loaded that team is. I’m pretty confident we see a better showing at home and let’s not forget there is a pretty significant edge for home teams in these Thursday games because of the travel for the road team on just 3 days of rest. The 49ers defense is outstanding, but at least the Cardinals have a mobile quarterback who can escape some of that pressure, which could lead to some big plays down the field. Also, this 49ers offense is good but not great. They scored 51 last week against the Panthers, but only had 388 total yards. If Arizona can just take care of the football they will have an excellent shot here to cover the double-digit spread. Give me the Cardinals +10.5! |

10-27-19 | Packers -3.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 53 h 60 m | Show |
50* NFL PRIME TIME GAME OF THE YEAR (Packers -3.5) I believe the drop-off from Mahomes to backup Matt Moore is significant. Moore finished with 117 yards in relief of Mahomes against the Broncos, but it wasn’t pretty for the most part. Take out the 57-yard pass to Tyreek Hill and the offense did next to nothing with him under center. The only other scoring drives under Moore was his first series when he took over with a 1st & Goal from the 3 and had to settle for a field goal. The other came on a field goal after Denver went for it and failed on 4th down. Green Bay’s defense is better than they showed last week against the Raiders and I expect a max effort from them in a prime time game. I just don’t see the Chiefs’ offense being able to do enough to give them a shot at winning this game or keeping it close. As for Kansas City’s defense, I’m not reading anything into that performance against the Broncos. I don’t know what Denver is doing with Joe Flacco at quarterback, but it looks like he doesn’t want to be there and that offensive line is trash. Based off what we have seen from this defense prior that game, I would be absolutely shocked if the Packers didn’t march the ball up and down the field. Keep in mind with KC’s offense likely limited, they should be getting pretty good field position throughout. Give me the Packers -3.5! |

10-27-19 | Panthers v. 49ers -5.5 | 13-51 | Win | 101 | 28 h 52 m | Show | |
40* NFL (49ers -5.5) I'll take my chances with the 49ers remaining undefeated and covering the 5.5-point spread at home against the Panthers. This San Francisco defense is the real deal. The 49ers are giving up just 10.7 ppg and holding teams almost 10 points under their season average. They are only giving up 90 yards/game rushing and have been absolutely dominant against the pass, as opposing QBs are completing just 55.2% for 135 ypg and 4.9 yards/attempt. Kyle Allen has been great in relief of Cam Newton, but he's faced a bunch of average to sub-par defenses so far. I look for the 49ers to bottle up McCaffrey and for the Panthers to struggle to keep pace offensively in this one. Give me the 49ers -5.5! |

10-27-19 | Chargers v. Bears -3.5 | 17-16 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 54 m | Show | |
40* NFL (Bears -3.5) I'll take my chances here with Chicago at home against the Chargers. I know we aren't at the halfway point yet, but this feels like a must-win for the Bears, who are trying to avoid a 3rd straight loss and falling below .500 on the season. With how well Green Bay and Minnesota are playing, Chicago can't afford to fall back any further in the NFC North. Chargers are the team they can get right against. LA continues to get all kinds of respect from the public and the books, despite the fact that they are 2-5 and have lost 5 of 6. Chargers offense has been pretty anemic this season and it's not going to get any better against an elite Chicago defense. Give me the Bears -3.5! |

10-27-19 | Jets +7 v. Jaguars | 15-29 | Loss | -120 | 25 h 51 m | Show | |
40* NFL (Jets +7) I'll take my chances here with the Jets bouncing back from that ugly showing against the Patriots with an easy cover against the Jaguars. You just can't overreact to how a team plays New England, especially on just 3 days of rest, where I think Belichick's ability to gameplan gives the Pats a massive edge. Darnold couldn't have played worse against New England, but I expect him to have a much better day at the office against a banged up Jags defense that no longer has one of the best players in the NFL in Jalen Ramsey. Jacksonville is also a team I feel is way overvalued right now with all the hype around Minshew. Jags are just 3-4 with 3 wins against the Titans, Broncos and Bengals. Give me the Jets +7! |

10-27-19 | Eagles v. Bills -120 | Top | 31-13 | Loss | -120 | 25 h 55 m | Show |
50* NFL MONEY LINE PLAY OF THE MONTH (Bills -120) I actually think there’s quite a bit of value with the Bills laying less than a field goal at home. The Eagles are a big public team, being just a couple years removed from winning the Super Bowl. Buffalo on the other hand is not a team the public likes to back, as they just really struggle to get behind teams that win with defense. I just don’t know what more you need to see from the Eagles to realize they are a mediocre football team. They just laid an egg in the biggest game of their season to date and did so in a nationally televised prime time game. The week before they lost by 18 to Minnesota and were down 24-3 early in that one. They also got a home loss to the Lions and defeat at Atlanta. Not to mention they had to rally from a 20-7 halftime deficit at home in Week 1 to an awful Redskins team. They got a big win at Green Bay, but that was a Thursday Night Game where anything goes on just 3-days of rest. Their only other win is against a Jets team that was down to their 3rd string quarterback. Buffalo is no joke. I think people are reading too much into a sloppy win against the Dolphins, because of how bad Miami is perceived to be. The important thing is they played poorly and still won. I also think people want to knock the Bills because their 5 wins have come against teams who are a combined 6-27. I get it, but for me it’s all about how well this team played in their only loss. Buffalo fell 16-10 at home to the Patriots and should have won. They outgained New England 375 to 224 and had 23 first downs to the Patriots 11 (only lost by 6 despite a -3 turnover differential). Another massive factor here that I feel is getting overlooked is the the fact that the Eagles are playing their 3rd straight road game. Buffalo is also not a fun or easy place to play for opposing teams. Give me the Bills -1.5! |

50* REDSKINS/VIKINGS TNF SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Over 42) I know the Redskins offense is hard to trust, but it’s not asking a lot for these two to get to 43 with both these defenses playing on 3 days rest. It’s not out of the question that Minnesota could eclipse this total on their own. Vikings are playing with a ton of confidence on the offensive side of the ball and who knows how much resistance the Redskins defense will put up. You can’t read anything into Washington holding the 49ers to 9-points with those conditions and the only other teams they have held under 30 points this season are the Dolphins and Giants. I would be shocked if Minnesota had anything fewer than 30 points in this game. I’m going to count on Washington getting to at least 14 and I think they could get a few more. Minnesota’s defense has been slipping of late and with the way the offense figures to be moving the ball, they might not be 100% locked in. They also might call off the dogs if they do get up big, as they got a big game at KC on deck. OVER is 9-2 in the Redskins last 11 road games vs a team with a winning home record and 7-1 in their last 8 games played on a Thursday. OVER is also 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two teams in Minnesota. Take the OVER! |

50* PATRIOTS/JETS MNF VEGAS SHARP TOP PLAY (Patriots -9) I'm rolling the dice with the Patriots. I think the big number and some injuries to the Patriots receiving corps has people thinking about taking the Jets, especially after New York just upset Dallas as a 7-point home dog last week. I just feel the combination of MNF and people talking about how the Jets can win this game will have NE 100% locked in. I get the Pats are thin at receiver, but it doesn't matter with Tom Brady. If any team is dealing with injuries that should concern you, it's New York. Jets got 4 of their 5 starting linemen either out or question, as well as backup Kelechi Osemele. Same thing on the defensive line, where two more starters are questionable or out. They also got a ton of injuries at linebacker. Patriots have gone 7-3-1 ATS last 11 on Monday Night Football are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 vs a team with a losing record and a ridiculous 40-15-2 in the month of October. Give me New England -9! |

40* NFL OVER/UNDER NO-BRAINER(Over 48.5) I'll take my chances here with the OVER 48.5 in Sunday's NFL action. These are two teams that not long ago were known for having elite defenses, but that's not the case anymore. Both these teams are built around their talented mobile quarterbacks in Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson. Jackson has the Ravens averaging 30.7 ppg and 451 ypg, while Wilson has the Seahawks at 27.5 ppg and 400 ypg. Both defenses have not been good. Baltimore is allowing 4.4 yards/rush, 61% completions, 7.7 yards/pass attempt and 6.5 yards/play. Seattle is allowing 4.7 yards/rush, 64% completions, 7 yards/pass attempt and 6.2 yards/play.

40* NFL PUBLIC ATS SHOCKER (Titans -2) I'll take my chances here with the Titans as a small home favorite against the Chargers. I love that Tennessee is making the switch from Mariota to Tannehill. I think that brings life to an offense that desperately needed a spark. I also have not been impressed with this Chargers defense of late and I don't think it's any better here with the guys they are missing up front on the defensive line. Titans on the other hand are making a huge addition to their rotation up front, as rookie DT Jeffery Simmons has been cleared to play. Tennessee drafted him No. 19, but had he not been coming off a ACL injury he would have been Top 10 and maybe Top 5. GIVE ME THE TITANS -2! |

40* NFL OVER/UNDER TOTAL KNOCKOUT (Over 50.5) I'll take my chances with the OVER 50.5 in Sunday's matchup between New York and Arizona. I think we are going to have offensive fire-works throughout. This Giants offense cooled off the last two games, but that was against two of the best defenses in the league in the Vikings and Patriots. Rookie Daniel Jones has flashed and with Saquan Barkley back I look for them to take off. At the same time the Giants defense is still bad and will struggle against a surging Cardinals offense led by rookie Kyler Murray. GIVE ME THE OVER 50.5! |

10-20-19 | Texans v. Colts -108 | Top | 23-30 | Win | 100 | 26 h 27 m | Show |
50* TEXANS/COLTS AFC SOUTH PLAY OF THE MONTH (Colts -108) Even though a win here would propel Indy into first place in the AFC South and both teams are coming off a win against the Chiefs, I feel the public perception is that Houston is the better team. A big reason for that is the Texans got a big name quarterback in Deshaun Watson and the Colts are one of those teams that just don't wow you because they rely on their defense and run game. I'll cover the most obvious factor favoring the Colts right away and that's Indianapolis coming off their bye. It's a huge advantage, especially this deep into the season and I just don't feel the public factors it enough into their handicapping. Not only does Indianapolis get an extra week to prepare for this matchup, this a definite letdown spot for Houston off the big win against the Chiefs and playing their second straight on the road. Another thing here is Watson and the Texans offense has looked great the last two weeks, putting up 53 on the Falcons and 31 against the Chiefs. The thing is, both of those teams rank in the bottom 10 in total defense. Keep in mind prior to facing those two bad defenses they managed just 10 points and 264 total yards at home against the Panthers. They also had a game against a good Jags defense earlier in the year where they scored just 13 points with 263 total yards. The Colts aren't elite defensively, but I definitely feel like they are one of the stronger teams on that side of the ball. You don't hold Patrick Mahomes and that Chiefs offense to just 13 points in KC without being strong on that side of the ball. Indianapolis was really able to get pressure on Mahomes and play great man-to-man defense. It's no secret the Texans offensive line is sub-par at best. Houston has only played 6 games and Watson has already been sacked 18 times. Watson, like Mahomes, also has really poor numbers against teams that can play quality man-to-man defense.Colts are also getting back one of their best defensive players in All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard, who has missed the last 3 games in concussion protocol.Let's also not overlook how well the Colts played against Houston last year. They beat them twice and their lone loss was in overtime. They also won the most important game, taking out the Texans 21-7 on the road. Led 21-0 in the 4th quarter in that playoff win and outgained Houston by 100 yards. Going back to last season the Colts are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 vs a team with a winning record and are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 off a bye. Texans are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 road games vs a team with a winning home record. Give me the Colts -1! |

50* NFL NON-CONF TOTAL OF THE YEAR (Under 47) I'll gladly take my chances here with the UNDER 47 in Sunday's showdown between the Raiders and Packers. I think this is going to be an ugly game the whole way. Green Bay is out star wide out Davante Adams and may be without both Allison and Valdes-Scantling. Problem is the Packers likely will need to be able to throw, as the Raiders have held 4 of their first 5 opponents under 100 yards rushing. They also have only allowed more than 255 passing once this season and that was to Mahomes and a healthy KC offense. Oakland's defense is better than people give them credit for, plus they should be extra sharp on that side coming off a bye. As for the Packers defense, it's really what has saved this team. Green Bay has really improved on that side of the ball and we have seen this Oakland offense struggle to get going when up against better defensive teams. I don't see this turning into a shootout. BET THE UNDER 47! |

50* CHIEFS/BRONCOS TNF SHARP TOP PLAY (Over 48.5) It’s really hard for the books to set the number on the total high enough in these Thursday games. It’s hard for these players to bounce back from just 3-days of rest and it tends to have a bigger impact on the defenses ability to perform up to expectations. The Chiefs offense welcomed back arguably their best weapon in wide out Tyreek Hill last week and he led the way with 5 catches for 80 yards and two scores. I think the Broncos will have a tough time here keeping Mahomes and this Chiefs offense in check. At the same time, there’s little reason to think the Kansas City defense is going to play well in this game. They are down nose tackle Xavier Williams, defensive linemen Chris Jones and corner Kendall Fuller. As bad as the Broncos offense has been, this is a team they can have success against. I also think it’s important to note that Denver’s offense has faced a lot of good defenses. Outside of their two division games against Oakland and Los Angeles, they have had to go up against the Bears, Jaguars, Packers and Titans. All of those teams rank in the top half of the league in scoring defense. You also got to look at the last three meetings in the series, all of which have come with Mahomes as the starter for KC. Each of those games saw at least 50 combined points. OVER is 17-5 in the Chiefs last 22 road games, 7-2 in their last 9 off a game they failed to cover, 4-1 in their last 5 off a SU loss and 5-1 in their last 6 on Thursday. Take the OVER!

50* NFL GB vs DET MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL TOP PLAY (Lions +4) I'll take my chances here with Detroit cashing in as a 4-point dog. Lions aren't getting enough love here coming off their bye week. Detroit has had Green Bay's number of late. Packers offense has not been very good and will be without star wide out Devante Adams. Green Bay's defense has been solid, but they have struggled against teams with decent quarterbacks. They gave over 440 yards passing last week to Dallas. I like Patricia and the Lions to win this outright. Give me Detroit +4! |

40* NFL OVER/UNDER TOTAL KNOCKOUT (Over 51.5) I'll take my chances here with the OVER 51.5, as I think we are going to see another shootout with the Falcons, who just combined for 85 points in a 53-32 loss at Houston. Atlanta is giving up 30.4 ppg against teams that only average 23.8 ppg. They are allowing 71% completion by opposing QBs and 6.2 yards/play (7.0 yards/play on the road). Arizona's defense isn't much better. Cardinals are allowing 27.6 ppg and 408 ypg. They too are giving up more than 6 yards/play (6.4). They can't stop the run or the pass. They are allowing 4.8 yards/carry and 7.7 yards/pass attempt. Also, both teams are dealing with some big injuries on defense. Atlanta has already lost defensive tackle Michael Bennett and safeties Keanu Neal and Johnathan Cyprien to the IR. Safety Ricardo Allen is questionable, as is corners Desmond Trufant and Blidi Wreh-Wilson. Arizona is still without suspended star corner Patrick Peterson (serving 6 game suspension) and corner Robert Alford (IR). Linebackers Haason Reddick and Terrell Suggs are both questionable among others. Give me the OVER 51.5! |

40* NFL VEGAS ODDSMAKERS LINE MISTAKE (Redskins -3) I'll take my chances with the Redskins and any other team that lines up against the Dolphins until Miami shows us they actually can be competitive. It's not just that the Dolphins are tanking, they don't have the talent to compete. I just look at how bad the Chargers are playing right now and they were able to beat the Dolphins on the road by 20. I think because Miami is off a bye and the Redskins sitting at 0-5 and having just fired their head coach, we are getting value. Likely the last time that happens if Miami gets destroyed here. I think they will. Redskins have had two division road games and 3 home games against the likes of the Cowboys, Bears and Patriots. They aren't a good team, but are way more talented than Miami. Also, huge that Redskins are not going to Haskins and sticking with Keenum. Expect a big effort from Washington after seeing their head coach get fired. Give me the Redskins -3! |

10-13-19 | Saints v. Jaguars -1.5 | 13-6 | Loss | -115 | 24 h 33 m | Show | |
40* NFL PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Jaguars -1.5) I think this is the ideal time to fade New Orleans, who come in having won and covered all 3 games with Teddy Bridgewater at quarterbacks. Sharp money appears to agree, as the line has moved in favor of the Jaguars, despite around 65% of the public action being on New Orleans. I’m seeing a lot of Bridgewater praise after his big game against Tampa Bay, throwing for 314 yards and 4 scores. The thing with that, is the Buccaneers are dead last in the NFL, giving up 323.6 ypg. Quite a bit worse than 31st place Dolphins at 296.3 ypg. In his previous two starts he had just 177 yards against the Seahawks and 193 against the Cowboys. He also had just 165 yards on 30 attempts in relief of Brees against the Rams. With or without Jalen Ramsey, this is a really good Jaguars defense. I think it’s going to be really hard for New Orleans to get that offense going. I know the Saints defense has been unbelievable since Brees went down, but Jacksonville is not an easy place to play this time a year. With the temperatures expected in the mid 80’s, I think we see New Orleans give up a few more big plays than we have seen the last few weeks. You have to love what Minshew has done in relief of Nick Foles and more than anything the Jaguar’s fans are 100% on board with him and this team right now. I think the fans show up in a big way for this one and this is a game Jacksonville desperately needs to win. Big difference between 3-3 and 2-4. Give me the Jaguars -1.5! |

10-13-19 | Texans v. Chiefs -4 | Top | 31-24 | Loss | -119 | 93 h 58 m | Show |
50* TEXANS/CHIEFS AFC GAME OF THE MONTH (Chiefs -4) I think we are seeing a big overreaction here with last week’s loss at home to the Colts. If LeSean McCoy doesn’t fumble that ball deep in Indy territory midway through the 2nd quarter, KC was prime to take a 7-point lead and it would have been a lot different game with the Colts playing from behind. I would have loved to see the Chiefs run the table, but I believe losing a game like that will work in their favor. Great teams and great players respond to adversity in a big way and I think we see a much more focused Kansas City team on Sunday. I know there’s a ton of injuries on both sides of the ball for the Chiefs, but as long as No. 15 is behind center, it really doesn’t matter who is lined up around him. He’s going to make plays. There’s a good chance he gets back arguably the best weapon in the league outside of maybe Christian McCaffrey in wide out Tyreek Hill. Also, one of the reasons the Colts had so much success against the Chiefs is their ability to play man defense. I don’t think the Texans pose near the threat on the defensive side of the ball. Back with Alex Smith, Reid’s offense always seemed to give Houston problems. Considering they went 22 straight games scoring at least 26 before the 13-point effort against the Colts, I’m confident they put up a big number in this one. As for the defense and how will KC be able to stop Deshaun Watson and the Texans offense, I think they will look a lot better than they did against the Colts. Keep in mind Indy has a really good offensive line and was able to just run the ball at will. Texans aren’t near as good up front on the 0-line. Another thing. Everyone is singing the praises of the Texans after their 21-point win over the Falcons, but keep in mind Atlanta actually had a 17-16 lead at the half and it was a 8-point game with less than 2 minutes to play. Houston did finish with a 592 to 373 edge in total yards, but are 0-6 ATS under head coach Bill O’Brien after outgaining their previous opponent by 150 or more yards. Texans are also 0-7 ATS under O’Brien in games vs teams who average 29 or more points/game. Chiefs are 9-3 ATS last 12 after scoring 15 or fewer points and 10-4 ATS last 14 as a home favorite of 7-points or less. Give me KC -4! |

10-13-19 | Seahawks v. Browns +1.5 | Top | 32-28 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 32 m | Show |
50* NFL NON-CONF PLAY OF THE MONTH (Browns +1.5) I'll take my chances here with Cleveland as a home dog against the Seahawks. For starters, you got Seattle going west to east for an early start time, which is never easy. Seattle already did that once in Week 2 at Pittsburgh and were fortunate to beat the Steelers 28-26 and they didn't have Big Ben. I also feel the Seahawks are overvalued coming off that 30-29 win at home against the Rams. They won that on a late TD after trailing the entire most of the 2nd half. They also had an ugly 21-20 win at home against the Bengals in Week 1 and lost at home to the Saints minus Drew Brees. I know Cleveland just got embarrassed by the 49ers, but because that was on MNF they are even more undervalued. With Seattle likely down two offensive linemen and the Browns having a strong defensive front, I think it's going to be really hard for Russell Wilson and that Seahawks offense to move the ball. At 2-3 and a road game at New England on deck, we know we are getting the best from Cleveland on Sunday. Give me the Browns +1.5! |

10-10-19 | Giants v. Patriots OVER 41 | Top | 14-35 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
50* GIANTS/PATRIOTS TNF VEGAS SHARP TOP PLAY (Over 41) New York will be down their top two running backs, as well as wideout Sterling Shepard and tight end Evan Engram. Plus, we just saw Jones and the Giants do next to nothing against a good Minnesota defense and the Patriots defense has looked outstanding early on. You just can’t expect teams to play up to their full potential on the defensive side of the ball when they only get 3 days of rest. Look at how good the Packers defense played in Week 1-3 (allowed a combined 35 points), how they struggled in Week 4 on Thursday Night Football (allowed 34 points) and then how good they played against Dallas last week. I know Belichick has owned rookie quarterbacks and all that, but I think with Jones at quarterback they can put up at least 10-14 points and that’s on the low end of things. At the same, I could see New England going over the total on their own. The Giants defense is awful. They let Kirk Cousins, who had been awful up to this point, throw for 306 yards and 2 scores while completing 82% of his passes. They are giving up 9.1 yards per pass play. They got no chance of slowing down Tom Brady and that Patriots offense. I think the Pats could play poorly and still score 30+ points. The other thing is that with the Giants decimated at the running back position and them likely playing from behind early, New York is going to be forced to throw a lot. Add in Belichick’s ability to confuse rookie QB’s and it would shock me if the Giants didn’t have multiple turnovers in this game. That should lead to easy quick scores for NE. Give me the OVER 41! |

10-07-19 | Browns v. 49ers -4.5 | Top | 3-31 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
50* BROWNS/49ers MNF SHARP TOP PLAY (49ers -4.5) I'll take my chances here with San Francisco at home against the Browns on Monday Night Football. I'm just not buying too much into Cleveland's 40-25 win at Baltimore last week. That Ravens defense is not as good as people think. I think the key to the Browns offense going off in that game against Baltimore was due to their ability to get the running game going. I don't think they will be able to have the same kind of success on the ground against a really good 49ers front. SF is giving up just 75 ypg and 3.4 yards/carry against the run. 49ers offense still put up 24 points despite 5 turnovers against the Steelers. Not to mention SF is coming off a bye, which is a huge advantage to them. Give me the 49ers -4.5! |
