Ohio State vs. Clemson Betting Preview 12/31/16 – Fiesta Bowl

This is an 8* play on Over.

Game 4 was another slugfest in Texas, with six more home runs in a wild 8-7 win for Tampa Bay. It doesn't seem to matter who is pitching, as even the slightest mistake results in the ball leaving the yard

Between the two teams, 13 different pitchers appeared in Game 4, and both teams bullpens might be limited in Game 5. Both managers might be giving their starters a longer leash here on Sunday.

The over is 13-3 in the last 16 head to head meetings.

Take Over.

This is an 8* play on Wolverhampton Wanderers.  

The Wolvers will host Newcastle United at Molineux Stadium on Sunday. Wolverhampton has won their last two matches, posting back to back clean sheets. Newcastle is coming off a 4-1 home loss to Manchester United, and the Magpies are known for their shoddy defense. That is particularly true away from home, where they had a -19 goal differential in 19 matches last season. Wolves are undefeated in their last five head to head matches versus Newcastle, and they appear to be on better form heading in Sunday's match.

This is a Free play on Arizona Cardinals.

The Seahawks are undefeated, and they come into Arizona as a significant favorite. This is a familiar spot for these NFC West rivals, and more often than not it hasn't worked out well for the Seahawks. Arizona has covered the spread in seven of the last 10 meetings, and the underdog is 9-1 ATS in the those games. The Seahawks 5-0 record doesn't seem as impressive when you realize that the only team they have beat that doesn't have a losing record is the Miami Dolphins. Arizona's defense was a problem for the Cowboys on Monday night, and they should make life tough on Wilson and the Seattle offense here at home. The Seahawks still rank dead last in total defense allowing over 470 yards per game. With the league's worst defense and not a single win against a team with a winning record, Seattle has no business being a favorite on the road here.

This is an 8* play on Cleveland.

The bad news for the Browns is that they got embarrassed in Pittsburgh last week losing 38-7. The good news is that they are playing Cincinnati this week, and the Bengals can't stop the run. Only two teams in the league have allowed more rushing yards (143/game) than the Bengals. The Browns had won four straight prior to last week's loss, and one of those was a home win over Cincinnati. Cleveland ran for 215 yards and three TDs in that game, and the final score of 35-30 was a little misleading. The Bengals scored a TD in garbage time in the final minute that made the game appear to be closer than it was. Kareem Hunt ran for 86 yards on 10 carries against the Bengals, but with Nick Chubb out of the lineup he should put up even bigger numbers here this Sunday.

This is an 8* play on Dallas.

The Cowboys are coming off an embarrassing loss to Arizona on Monday Night Football, and their stock is at an all time low. They are on the road at Washington this week, and Washington has lost five straight. Dallas still should be the favorite to win the NFC East, and they still have a lot more talent than the rest of the sad sacked teams in their division. Andy Dalton threw for 266 yards on 34-of-54 passing with a TD and two INTs last week. He didn't really have a chance after Zeke Elliott fumbled the ball a couple times early, putting Dallas in a hole. I expect the Red Rifle to be far better this week. The Redskins are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games, and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six versus Dallas.

This is an 8* play on the San Francisco 49ers.

The 3-3 San Francisco 49ers are in Foxboro Sunday to take on the 2-3 New England Patriots. This looks like a case of two teams trending in opposite directions. The Niners are getting healthier, coming off a big win over the Rams. The Pats are banged up, coming off back to back losses to Kansas City and Denver. This line opened up at 5.5, but money has come in on the Niners. The 49ers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog, and the Patriots are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight home games. I'll take the points.
