Leafs vs Bruins Free Pick April 12, 2018 – Jesse Schule

This is an 8* play on Philly.

The Cowboys are a hot mess at the moment, and Jason Garrett is on borrowed time. Rumors had him being canned mid-week, and surely he's gone if they lose here on Sunday night. Dak Prescott might want to reconsider the multi-million dollar contract offer he turned down in the off-season, as he's been terrible lately. It won't get any easier this week as his receiving corpse is banged up. The Eagles are a team with one glaring weakness, but Dallas might not be in a position to take advantage of a struggling Philly secondary. The Cowboys might have trouble running on this stout defensive line, and if Zeke doesn't get going it will be a disaster for Dallas. I'll take Philly plus the points.

Take PHI.

This is an 8* play on the Oakland Raiders.

Oakland is flying high after a dominant win over the Chicago Bears in London, and coming off a bye week they should be ready to put up one hell of a fight in Green Bay. The Packers were very lucky to win a MNF game against the Lions, and they come limping into this Sunday's game on short rest with a ton of injuries. Devante Adams is out, and both Geronimo Allison and Valdez-Scantling are questionable. The Raiders might now fancy themselves as a contender in the AFC West, now that first place Kansas City is going to be without Patrick Mahomes for the next several weeks. Oakland is 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following a bye week.

Take OAK.

This is a 10* play on the #NYG.

The Giants are just 2-4, but they still have a shot in the NFC East, with Dallas and Philly sitting at just 3-3. The Cardinals on the other hand aren't going anywhere, with a stranglehold on last place on the NFC West. Both Daniel Jones and Kyler Murray have given their teams reason to be optimistic about the future, but Jones has showed the world why he was drafted 6th overall in the first round, and he's been more consistent than Murray. When you consider what he's had to work with, his performance is even more impressive. This week he's going to have Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram back. He's going up against an Arizona defense that ranks 30th in the NFL against the pass. While the Giants defense is stastically just as bad, they have played tougher opposition, and they have scored significantly more points of their own. This is a tough spot for an NFC West team traveling to the East Coast for an early game. All signs point to a blowout win for the Giants.

Take NYG.
