MIKE'S 5* PACKERS/LIONS NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

The Green Bay Packers are coming off an upset win over the Chargers, but I think they'll lose big here in Detroit on Thanksgiving.

The Packers are far from healthy, and they'll face a Lions team that is on a roll with seven wins while going 6-2 ATS in its last eight games, including a 34-20 win at Lambeau Field back in late September.

The Lions did not cover in last week's 31-26 win over the Bears but note that the Lions are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss.

5* PLAY ON DETROIT LIONS. 

MIKE'S COWBOYS/PANTHERS NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a potential letdown spot for the Dallas Cowboys after blowing the doors off the NY Giants in a 49-17 win last week. Since the start of the 2021 season, road favorites coming off a win of 20+ points are only 11-28 (28.2%) against the spread. I'm by no means saying the Panthers will win this game outright, but  I think they can keep it within the number.  

3* PLAY ON CAROLINA PANTHERS. 

MIKE'S TITANS/JAGUARS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Tennesee Titans are coming off a 20-6 loss at Tampa Bay while the Jacksonville Jaguars will be looking to bounce back from a 34-3 loss to the Niners. Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence tossed a pair of interceptions and was sacked five times, and his movement is somewhat limited as he keeps wearing a brace on his left knee. This is a lot of points to cover with a QB that is not fully healthy. 

Since the beginning of the 2021 season, the Titans are 16-10 ATS as an underdog while the Jags are 1-4 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5 to 7 points. 

3* PLAY ON THE TITANS. 

MIKE'S 5* BENGALS/RAVENS NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off a 30-27 loss to Houston, but that did not come as a surprise to me who predicted that they would have a letdown game following four straight wins SU and ATS.

I expect the Bengals to come out fully focused again for this divisional matchup against Baltimore who also saw a four-game winning streak end last week, with a 33-31 loss to Cleveland.

These are two very evenly matched teams in my opinion, and I would not be surprised to see this game come down to a last-drive field goal. Let's take the points on the underdog. 

5* PLAY ON CINCINNATI BENGALS. 

MIKE'S COMMANDERS/SEAHAWKS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Washington Commanders who are coming off a 20-17 win against the Pats in Foxborough, while we get the Seahawks in a big bounce back spot following their 37-3 loss in Baltimore.

Seattle had won five of its past six games heading into that matchup and I expect them to oblitirate Washington today. 

3* PLAY ON SEATTLE SEAHAWKS. 

MIKE'S PACKERS/STEELERS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 5-3 SU and ATS, but them being above .500 is almost nothing short of a miracle.

They've been outgained in every game this season, and I'm not sure they should even be a favorite in this matchup against the Green Bay Packers (3-5 ATS, 4-4 ATS). I'll gladly take the points as insurance though.

Since the start of the 2021 season, the Packers are 11-6 ATS as underdogs and 4-1 ATS as an underdog of 3.5-9.5 points. The Steelers are 0-4 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5-9.5 points during that same time frame.

3* PLAY ON GREEN BAY PACKERS. 

MIKE'S PANTHERS/BEARS SIDE (SUBSCRIBERS ONLY)

The Carolina Panthers are starting first-overall pick Bryce Young at QB while the Chicago Bears are starting undrafted rookie backup Tyson Bagent.

Neither has had much success (which is why we have a 5* bet on the under), but at least Young is supposed to be the more talented of the two and Carolina has held opponents to a respectable 310.0 yards per game (8th). 

This will be ugly, and I could see either team winning 17-14 or 20-17 or something like that. As such, I'll gladly take the field goal and the hook. 

3* PLAY ON CAROLINA PANTHERS. 

MIKE'S COMMANDERS/PATS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The New England Patriots are 2-6 SU and ATS on the season. This will be their third game as a favorite, and the last time they closed as a favorite, they got shut out 34-0 by New Orleans.

The Commanders are 3-5 SU and 3-4-1 ATS for the season, but 3-1-1 ATS as underdogs. 

I'm not sure if the Pats should be favored against just about any team in the NFL right now, especially here as Washington QB Sam Howell has started to heat up with nine TDs against three picks over his last four games.

As for the Pats QB situation, it's looking less and less likely that Mac Jones is the man to take the franchise back to its glory days.

3* PLAY ON WASHINGTON COMMANDERS. 

MIKE'S RAMS/PACKRS SIDE

The Los Angeles Rams are 5-3 to the under for the season, and starting QB Matthew Stafford is unlikely to play here due to an injured right thumb. Brett Rypien is the Rams backup QB, which is a huge step down in class and the Rams do not have much of a run game to lean on.

As for the Packers, they've struggled to move the ball all season long averaging only 287.0 yards of total offense. Over their last three games, the Packers have scored 13, 17 and 10 points.

This feels like a 20-17 win for either team, and I'll take the points more often than not in games with a low total. 

3* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES RAMS. 

5* MAX BET: MIKE'S DOLPHINS/CHIEFS NFL GAME OF THE MONTH

This looks like a fantastic spot to back the Kansas City Chiefs to bounce back from a humbling 24-9 loss at Denver. They had won six consecutive games before that setback, and here they'll get the opportunity to showcase their talent to a whole new crowd at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany.

The Miami Dolphins are 6-2 straight up and against the spread, but they were completely outmatched the two times they faced quality opponents in Buffalo and Philadelphia.

The Chiefs are the reigning champs, and still the team to beat IMO.

Since the start of last season, the Chiefs are 11-2 SU and 9-4 ATS off an ATS loss and 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS off a straight up loss. 

5* PLAY ON KANSAS CITY CHIEFS. 

5* GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S BENGALS/NINERS NFL BEST BET

The San Francisco 49ers have hit a bit of a slump, coming off back-to-back road losses at Cleveland and Minnesota. QB Brock Purdy is doubtful and missed practice on Wednesday while in the NFL's concussion protocol. There's a significant drop off to backup QB Sam Darnold, and here the Niners will face a Bengals team that is coming off its bye week and has played a lot better as Joe Burrows is getting close to full health. I have the Niners as the better team, but the spot favors Cincy, and we're spotted more than a field goal. 

5* PLAY ON CINCINNATI BENGALS. 

MIKE'S PATRIOTS/DOLPHINS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The New England Patriots upset Buffalo as an 8.5-point underdog last week, and I think they'll come through with another big outing against a divisional rival this week.

The Dolphins got schooled in Philadelphia on primetime last Sunday so they won't lack motivation, but I think the Pats are better than their early results would suggest, and we should see the results pick up as they're getting healthier.

This is too many points for Miami to lay in a rivalry game. 

3* PLAY ON NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. 

MIKE'S EAGLES/COMMANDERS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

This looks like it could be a potential flat spot for the Eagles following their dominant 31-17 win against Miami last week.

The Commanders are only 1-4 in their last five games and looked awful in their 14-7 loss at the Giants last week, but they forced overtime when they played the Eagles in Philly on Oct 1 and I think they can keep this close as well. 

3* PLAY ON WASHINGTON COMMANDERS. 

4* TOP PLAY: MIKE'S CHARGERS/CHIEFS NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

The Kansas City Chiefs are 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS on the season, but this is a team that usually struggles to cover.

Over the last three seasons, the Chiefs are 0-7 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5 to 7 points and the Chargers are 10-4 ATS as an underdog last three seasons.

The Chargers are 2-3 SU and 1-3-1 ATS on the season and that is one reason why the betting market is undervaluing the Chargers in this spot. 

4* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES CHARGERS. 

MIKE'S LIONS/RAVENS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

The Detroit Lions are 5-1 SU and ATS on the season and they're heading to Baltimore riding a four-game winning streak, but this is where I think it comes to an end.

The Lions have played a soft schedule since beating KC in their season opener, and now they'll have to face a Baltimore defense that ranks 2nd in total defense and against the pass with only 163.2 passing yards allowed per game. Bad news for the Lions who may have to rely on their passing game a lot more than usual with top running back David Montgomery expected to be out for some time with a rib injury. 

3* PLAY ON BALTIMORE RAVENS. 

MIKE'S BILLS/PATRIOTS NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

We lost with the Pats ATS in the ugliest way possible last week and they are now only 1-5 SU and ATS on the season, but I think they can keep this one at least somewhat close. Buffalo has not been at its best lately either, and QB Josh Allen was limited in training this week due to a shoulder injury. 

3* PLAY ON NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. 

MIKE'S PATRIOTS/RAIDERS NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a good spot to back the Patriots who are getting no respect after getting outscored 72-3 through their last two games.

The Raiders are in a potential flat spot after ending a three-game losing streak with a 17-13 win over Green Bay Monday night. 

Neither offense is very good, but I rate the Pats defense a lot higher than the Raiders', and if Bill Belichick can't get his team ready for this one after the recent results he might as well retire. 

3* PLAY ON NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. 

MIKE'S SEAHAWKS/BENGALS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Bengals have had a slow start to the season, but they defeated Arizona 34-20 last week. With Joe Burrow finally healthy again, this could get ugly in a hurry as even though Seattle has been good at stopping the run, they rank 30th in passing yards against allowing 280 passing yards per game.

3* PLAY ON CINCINNATI BENGALS. 

4* TOP PLAY - MIKE'S COLTS/JAGS GAME OF THE WEEK

The Jacksonville Jaguars return home from two weeks across the pond and off an upset win over the Bills. The travel could become an issue for Jacksonville against a Colts team that has won three of its last four games outright. Gardner Minshew will quarterback Indianapolis, but I'm not sure he's that much of a downgrade from injured Anthony Richardson.

Over the last three seasons, the Colts are 14-10 ATS as an underdog while the Jags are 3-7 ATS as favorites (0-4 ATS as favorites of 3.5 to 7 points). 

4* PLAY ON INDIANAPOLIS COLTS. 

MIKE'S RAVENS/TITANS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER @ LONDON

The Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans will clash across the pond early on Sunday.

Reports suggest that the Ravens flew in early in the week while the Titans waited until Thursday. Advantage Baltimore will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 17-10 loss at Pittsburgh.

After their first loss of the season, the Ravens snapped back with a 28-3 win at Cleveland and here they'll face a Titans team that is 0-3 away from Nashville on the season. 

3* PLAY ON BALTIMORE RAVENS. 

Mike's Titans/Colts NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Tennessee Titans are 2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS on the season. Last week they defeated the Bengals 27-3, and I think they're a much better team than the Colts who I just don't rate at all.

Sure, they're 2-2 SU and ATS on the season with outright wins at Baltimore and Houston, but this is a bad matchup as they've struggled to stop the run all season and here they'll face arguably the best running back in the NFL in Derrick Henry. Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor has missed the first four games of the season due to an ankle injury and a contract dispute and his status for this game is unclear.

I give the Titans the edge on both sides of the ball here, certainly on defense, and they're 5-0 SU and ATS in the last five meetings with three wins here at Lucas Oil Stadium. 

3* play on Tennessee Titans. 

Mike's Texans/Falcons NFL BOOKIE BA$HER

Atlanta looked horrendous in its 23-7 loss to the Jags in London last week, and here they'll face a Houston team that has put up 30+ points in back-to-back games.

The Texans have one of the hottest QBs in the league in C.J. Stroud while Desmond Ridder is struggling to make anything happen for the Falcons.

Atlanta has been held to just one touchdown and a total of 13 points through its last two games, and Houston's defense has, just as its offense, stepped up lately. 

3* play on Houston Texans. 

4* TOP PLAY - Mike's Ravens/Steelers NFL Game of the Week

This looks like a great spot to back the Steelers to bounce back from a disappointing 30-6 loss as a 3-point favorite at Houston. The Steelers are not good as favorites, but Mike Tomlin knows how to get his squad fired up as underdogs, especially when it comes to divisional games. Since the start of the 2021 season, the Steelers are 6-3 ATS as underdogs against division opponents. 

The Ravens meanwhile are in a potential flat spot following a 28-3 rout of the Browns in Cleveland. Since the start of the 2021 season, the Ravens are 9-17 ATS as favorites and 1-4 ATS off a win against a divisional rival. 

4* play on the Steelers. 

Mike's Jags/Bills @ London BOOKIE BREAKER (9:30 AM ET)

The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated Atlanta 23-7 here in London last Sunday so they've had time to make themselves at home in England while Buffalo flew in just this week, I'm not sure if it's that much of an advantage.

They'll face a Buffalo team that has destroyed its last three opponents, defeating Vegas 38-10, Washington 37-3, and most recently Miami 48-20.

The Jags rank only 21st against the pass giving up 238.2 passing yards per game, and Buffalo QB Josh Allen went 21-for-25 for 320 yards and four touchdowns plus a rushing TD against Miami. He has eight TDs against one INT in his past three games. 

It's rare to see a team as talented as Buffalo making the trip across the pond, and I think they'll put on a show for the fans and run away with this game early and comfortably.

3* play on Buffalo Bills. 

Mike's Bears/Commanders T.N.F. BOOKIE BREAKER

The Chicago Bears are 0-4 SU and 0-3-1 ATS. They lost 31-28 at home against Denver last week, but that was the first time we saw any kind of life from this offense and they still didn't make up for a defense that has been atrocious all season. 

The Commanders opened the season with wins over Denver and Arizona but have since taken losses to Buffalo and Philadelphia. No shame in losing against those two teams, and they pushed the Eagles to OT last week.

Sam Howell has been putting up decent numbers under center in most games, and he should have a big game here against a Bears defense that is allowed 268 passing yards per game (29th). 

3* play on the Commanders. 

5* NFL MAX BET - Mike's Ravens/Browns Game of the Month

The Ravens took a 22-19 OT loss to the Colts last week, and they're heading to Cleveland with a banged-up squad. Here they'll face a Cleveland team boasting arguably the best defense in the league.

The Browns have only allowed six points in their two home wins this season, and while I'm not completely sold on their QB Deshaun Watson, the team is very good at moving the ball on the ground (4th in rushing yards per game). 

5* MAX BET on the Browns. 

MAX BET ALERT - Mike's 5* Eagles/Bucs NFL Game of the Month

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have proven to be a lot harder to defeat than most predicted. They've opened the season with wins over Minnesota and Chicago, and while tonight's opponent will be a much tougher test, I still like the Bucs to keep it within the number. 

The Eagles have defeated the Pats by five points and Minnesota by six points, but they have allowed 326 passing yards per game and 5.7 yards per play overall (29th). 

Bucs QB Baker Mayfield is playing with a lot of confidence and averages 7.2passing yards per attempt. 

5* MAX BET on the Bucs. 

Mike's Panthers/Seahawks NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

The Panthers first two games have been ugly, but perhaps they'll get some offense here with veteran QB Andy Dalton replacing rookie quarterback Bryce Young under center.

The Seahawks are 1-1 on the season following an upset win at Detroit last week, and I think this looks like a potential flat spot for Seattle. 

Additionally, over the last three seasons, Seattle is 5-11 ATS as a favorite and 1-7 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5 to 7 points.

3* play on Panthers. 

Mike's Colts/Ravens NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

Baltimore is 2-0 SU and ATS on the season, but this looks like it could be a potential flat spot following a win as an underdog at division rivals Cincinnati last week.

The Colts are coming off a 31-20 win at Houston as Gardner Minshew replaced rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson in the second quarter. Minshew looked sharp, completing 19 of 23 passes for 171 yards with a touchdown.

The Ravens are 8-16 ATS as a favorite over the last three seasons. 

3* play on the Colts. 

Mike's Falcons/Lions NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

Atlanta is 2-0 SU and 1-1 ATS on the season after facing two inexperienced quarterbacks, but I still think the Falcons are undervalued here against a Lions team that has big holes defensively.

The Lions gave up 37 points to Geno Smith and the Seahawks last week, and Atlanta is sneaky good offensively.

Additionally, Detroit's injury report is looking pretty ugly and I can see either team win this one by a field goal. 

3* play on the Falcons. 

Mike's Broncos/Dolphins NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Denver Broncos are 0-2 SU and ATS on the season while Miami is 2-0 SU and ATS, records that play into Denver being undervalued on the road here at Miami in Week 3.

While the Broncos have looked worse than expected on defense, Russell Wilson really got the offense going in last week's 35-33 loss to Washington. The Broncos two losses have come by a combined three points, and they were the favorite in both games. I think they can keep it close here as an underdog. 

3* play on the Broncos. 

Mike's 4* Patriots/Jets NFL Game of the Week TOP PLAY

The Patriots are in big need of a win following home losses in one-score affairs against Philadelphia and Miami, and I like the Pats here against a Jets team they've dominated in recent seasons. The Jets were supposed to be the better team this year, but that was with Aaron Rodgers under center, not Zach Wilson.

Bill Belichick won't start the season 0-3, and if the Pats win they're more likely than not to cover the spread. We can also note that the Pats are 3-0 ATS as a road favorite of three points or less over the last three seasons, while the Jets are 12-18 ATS as an underdog.

4* TOP PLAY on the Patriots. 

Mike's 4* Giants/Niners T.N.F. TOP PLAY

The Giants got stomped by Dallas in Week 1, and they needed a 17-0 fourth quarter to scrape by a weak Arizona team in Week 2. Here they'll have to do without star RB Saquon Barkley who left the win against Arizona early with an ankle injury, and I just don't see how the Giants will be able to keep up with a Niners team that is superior on both sides of the ball. 

The Niners are 2-0 on the season after winning 30-7 at Pittsburgh in Week 1 and 30-23 at LA Rams in Week 2. Two dominant performances, and their Week 2 win could've/should've been bigger. I expect the 49ers to rout their opponent here in their home opener. 

Bet this TOP PLAY on the 49ers with 4% of your bankroll. 

Mike's 4* Saints/Panthers NFL TOP PLAY of the Day

New Orleans opened the season with a 16-15 win over Tennessee, and I think the Saints will play another close game here when they visit Carolina on Monday Night Football. 

The Panthers will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 24-10 loss at Atlanta, and we should see a better game from rookie QB Bryce Young here in his second career start after getting intercepted twice by the Falcons. 

While there's no doubt that the Saints looked a lot better than Carolina in Week 1, I don't think the Panthers are as bad as they looked and they should show up here in their home opener on prime time. 

Since the start of the 2021 season, the Panthers are 5-2 ATS as a home underdog of 3 points or fewer while the Saints are 6-9 ATS as favorites. 

Bet this TOP PLAY on the Panthers with 4% of your bankroll. 

Mike's Chargers/Titans NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Titans took a 16-15 loss at New Orleans in Week 1 but covered the point spread. I think they'll keep it close again here against a Chargers team that is coming off a 36-34 home loss to Miami.

Sure, Chargers offense can ball, but they have big holes defensively. The Titans are a well-rounded team that won't allow their opponent to pull away. 

Bet on the Titans with 3% of your bankroll.

Mike's 4* Ravens/Bengals NFL Game of the Week TOP PLAY

The Bengals were held to three points and 142 yards of total offense in their Week 1 matchup with Cleveland. QB Joe Burrow suffered a calf injury during training camp that made him miss one month of the preseason, and he looked completely off. Here he'll face a solid Baltimore team that is coming off a 25-9 win over the Texans. 

Since the start of the 2019 season, the Ravens are 13-3-1 ATS as underdogs. 

Bet this TOP PLAY on the RAVENS with 4% of your bankroll. 

Mike's 4* Vikings/Eagles ATS TOP PLAY of the Day

The Vikings do not have the defense to compete with Philly, but they have the weapons on the offensive side of the ball. Turnovers and penalties hurt them badly in Week 1 against the Bucs, but I think we'll see a much better Vikings offense in this one. The Vikings will also have a chip on their shoulder after losing to Tampa Bay as a big favorite, and divisional matchups are never a gimme. Additionally, the Eagles have been hit with injuries on defense. 

Bet this TOP PLAY on the Vikings with 4% of your bankroll. 

Mike's Rams/Seahawks NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Rams are coming off a disappointing 5-12 campaign, and they've done little to nothing to improve the team.

The Seahawks meanwhile were supposed to be one of the worst teams in the league, but ended up as one of the biggest positive surprises last year as QB Geno Smith led them to a 7-10 SU (9-8 ATS) record. Seattle has added talent since last season, and I think they'll get the job done here at home. 

Bet on the Seahawks with 3% of your bankroll. 

Mike's Bucs/Vikings NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Vikings went 13-4 SU last season, but only 7-9-1 ATS as they came out ahead in a ton of one-score affairs. No one is expecting much of the Bucs and QB Baker Mayfield, but the Vikes look weak on defense and I think they're overvalued by the market because of last season's record. 

Bet on the Bucs with 3% of your bankroll. 

Mike's Titans/Saints NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

Both the Titans and the Saints finished the 2022 season with a 7-0 record. Running back Derrick Henry is coming off another big season, and here he'll face a Saints defense that struggled against the run last season. The Saints offense is looking better with the addition of QB Derek Carr and RB Jamaal Williams to name a few, but I still like the Titans' defense to keep them in the game. 

Bet on the Titans with 3% of your bankroll. 

10* BENGALS/BILLS NFL PLAY OF THE DAY

Buffalo might be the best team in the AFC, but this is a lot of points to give to a team as talented as the Bengals. Buffalo QB Josh Allen has been inconsistent lately. Sure, he has thrown 12 touchdown passes over the last four games, but also five interceptions in the last three. For the season, the Bills rank 31st in the NFL with 1.8 giveaways per game while Cincy ranks 8th with 1.5 takeaways per game. 

Bengals are 12-3-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Bills are 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

10* PLAY ON CINCINNATI BENGALS. 

RAVENS/BENGALS ATS BOOKIE BLA$TER

Cincinnati is a big favorite as the Ravens are expected to start backup quarterback Tyler Huntley instead of the injured Lamar Jackson. Still, the Ravens have shown that they can win games with their defense, and this is an interesting spot as these two teams met in the regular season finale. Huntley missed that game due to shoulder and wrist injuries, but I expect him to take the field. 

The familiarity between the two divisional opponents favors the underdog IMO, and the road team is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings.

8* PLAY ON BALTIMORE RAVENS. 

GIANTS/VIKES NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

Minnesota finished the season 13-4 SU but only 7-9-1 ATS. The Giants finished the season 9-7-1 SU but 13-4 ATS. The Vikes won heaps of one-score games and they must run out of luck sooner or later.

Giants are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. Giants are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games. Vikings are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 14 points. Vikings are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. NFC.

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK GIANTS. 

GIANTS/EAGLES NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

The Eagles will try to lock up the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The Giants are locked into the No. 6 NFC seed and likely to rest players. Still, Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has a lingering injury to his throwing shoulder and was listed as limited participant on Thursday's injury report and backup QB Gardner Minshew has not impressed in his two starts. The Eagles will almost certainly win straight up, but this is a lot of points to cover. 

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK GIANTS. 

COWBOYS/COMMANDERS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

Dallas has a shot at earning the NFC's top seed and Washington will give rookie quarterback Sam Howell the start under center, but I still think the Commanders can keep this close. The Cowboys do not have a lot of video of Howell which should be to his advantage and Cowboys are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games in January.

8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON COMMANDERS. 

10* NFL GAME OF THE MONTH - RAMS/SEAHAWKS MAX BET

The Rams are banged up but still battling. They have lost eight of their last 10 games straight up, but they are 4-2 ATS in their last six and I think we'll get an honest effort from them here against a Seattle team that needs a win to maintain their hopes earning a wild-card spot. Seattle is not fully healthy either, and its top three running backs all missed practice time this week. 

Seahawks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Seahawks are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games following a straight up win.

10* PLAY ON LA RAMS. 

BROWNS/STEELERS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

While on paper, this game means nothing for the Browns, do not underestimate their motivation to play spoiler for their divisional rivals who need to win to get into the playoffs. The Browns have been lethal on the ground all season, and QB Deshaun Watson threw three touchdown passes in a win against Washington last week. Here he'll face a Steelers defense that is giving up 7.0 yards per pass attempt. 

Shop around for a +3 if you can, but I would not be surprised if Cleveland wins this one outright. 

8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND BROWNS. 

BEARS/LIONS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Lions have made an impressive turnaround while the Bears are 0-8 SU and 2-6 ATS in their last eight games, but I like the underdog here in this matchup. The Bears would like nothing more than to play spoiler for their divisional rivals and the underdog is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings. The Bears can run the ball and Detroit's defense ranks 28th against the run.

8* PLAY ON CHICAGO BEARS. 

COLTS/GIANTS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Colts will be playing on a short week after taking a 20-3 loss to the Chargers Monday night. The Giants are coming off a loss at Minnesota, but they are 4-1 ATS in their last five and 7-3 ATS in their last 10. Giants are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss and 20-9-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. The Giants are still in a position to make the playoffs and I expect them to win and get the cover at home on New Year’s Day.

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK GIANTS. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* BIG BET ALERT

Deshaun Watson's return from suspension has not had nearly the positive impact that the Browns would've hoped for. They've been held to 10, 13, and 10 points over their last three games and here they'll face a Washington team that ranks fourth in the NFL for total defense.

Washington gave up 37 points at the Niners last week, but they were only marginally outgained.

The Browns are eliminated from the playoffs while the Commanders must win to keep their playoff hopes alive. I don't care whether Taylor Heinicke or Carson Wentz quarterbacks the Commanders, their defense, and their running game should get them the win and cover. 

10* PLAY ON WASHINGTON COMMANDERS. 

EARLY PACKERS/DOLPHINS NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Packers are back on track following back-to-back wins against the Bears and the Rams. The Dolphins are trending in the opposite direction after three straight losses on the road.

The Packers have struggled to stop the run all season, but Miami has struggled to move the ball on the ground for most of the season and the Packers are allowing only 185 passing yards per game (2nd). 

Packers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games when playing on Sunday following a Monday night game. Packers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

8* PLAY ON GREEN BAY PACKERS. 

COMMANDERS/NINERS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Niners have clinched the NFC West. They've won seven straight behind a suffocating defense, but it'll be tough to get separation here with Brock Purdy under center and facing a highly-motivated Commanders team.

Washington's playoff hopes have taken a hit in recent weeks, but they are still in the race coming into Saturday seventh, holding down the final playoff spot in the NFC. 

Underdog is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings. Commanders are 3-0-2 ATS in their last 5 meetings in San Francisco.

8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON COMMANDERS. 

BENGALS/PATRIOTS NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Bengals are riding a six-game winning streak and have been crazy hot against the spread all season, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Pats pulling off an upset here.

The Patriots are coming into this weekend on the outside looking in when it comes to the AFC playoff picture, but just one game behind the 6th and 7th seeds.

The Patriots have dropped three of their last four games, but three were on the road. This week, they're back home hosting a Bengals team is in a tough spot playing on the road for a second straight week and on a short week at that. 

8* PLAY ON NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. 

10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - GIANTS/VIKES BEST BET

Last week, Minnesota came back from a 33-0 deficit to beat the Colts and win yet another one-score game. The Giants are coming off a 20-12 win at Washington and are coming into this game holding the No. 6 spot in the NFC. The Vikes have clinched a playoff spot, and while they might find a way to win this one outright, I like the Giants to cover. 

Giants are 6-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Vikings are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. NFC.

10* PLAY ON NEW YORK GIANTS. 

GIANTS/COMMANDERS SUNDAY NIGHT BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a good spot to back the Giants to bounce back from a 48-20 loss to Philadelphia last week. Giants are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. The Commanders had a week off following their 20-20 tie with the Giants in New York on December 4, but I expect this to be another close game between the divisional rivals. 

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK GIANTS. 

FALCONS/SAINTS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Falcons are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games, but the bookmakers were always gonna adjust after their red hot start against the spread. Now they're getting a decent amount of points as an underdog again. Rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder will replace Marcus Mariota under center, and I think he might give their offense a spark. The Saints have been held to 16 points or fewer in four of their last five games and I like the Falcons to get the cover here.

8* PLAY ON ATLANTA FALCONS. 

10* COWBOYS/JAGS NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a potential flat spot for the Cowboys following four straight wins and with the Eagles on deck next week. The Jags are only 5-8 on the season but can still win the division. so they'll show up. The Cowboys are relying on their running game to move the ball rather than their passing game but the Jags run defense is decent and I think they'll keep this close. 

10* PLAY ON JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS. 

NFL GAME OF THE YEAR - 10* NON CONFERENCE BEST BET ATS

The Vikings are 10-3 on the season, but they've been fairly lucky being on the right side in several one-score games and here they'll face Colts team that will be looking to pick up the pieces following a 54-19 loss at Dallas two weeks ago. They kept it close until getting outscored 33-0 in the final period, and they've had extra time to prepare for this one. 

Colts are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. Vikings are 3-9 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. Colts are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings.

10* PLAY ON INDIANAPOLIS COLTS. 

10* NFC GAME OF THE MONTH ATS - PANTHERS/SEAHAWKS BEST BET

The Seahawks are 0-3 ATS in their last three games and failed to cover the last two as favorites. They won by only four points against the extremely banged up LA Rams and now they'll face a Panthers team that has been playing well lately, going 5-1 ATS in their last six games.

The Panthers defense has been playing at a very high level, and I do not see the Seahawks pulling away. 

10* PLAY ON CAROLINA PANTHERS. 

RAVENS/STEELERS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

The Ravens are without quarterback Lamar Jackson, but how can you not take the Ravens as a short underdog in Pittsburgh considering the history of the series. The underdog is 19-6-3 ATS in their last 28 meetings, and Mike Tomlin is a coach that does much, much better in the underdog role. 

Steelers are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games following an ATS win. Ravens are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game.

8* PLAY ON BALTIMORE RAVENS. 

BROWNS/BENGALS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Bengals following their win against Kansas City last week. The Browns are coming off wins against Tampa Bay and Houston and they'll only get better as Deshaun Watson finds his feet again after his suspension. The underdog is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND BROWNS. 

10* RAIDERS/RAMS T.N.F. TOP PLAY

The Rams will need to keep relying on their backups at many positions as the injuries are mounting up. Still, that was the case last week as well when they lost by only four points as a seven-point underdog to Seattle last week, and I think they can keep it close here as well against a Raiders team that is in a potential flat spot following three straight wins, two as underdogs. Raiders are 3-11 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.

10* PLAY ON LA RAMS. 

SAINTS/BUCS M.N.F. BOOKIE BREAKER

This is a big game for both teams as they're still in playoff contention despite both coming into the game with losing records. I like the Saints to bounce back with a strong performance after getting shut out in San Francisco last week.

The Saints are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. The Saints are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings.

The Buccaneers are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

8* PLAY ON NEW ORLEANS SAINTS. 

CHIEFS/BENGALS BOOKIE BOMBER

This is a game the Chiefs have had circled since the schedule came out.

It's a double-revenge game for KC after losing both meetings last season and surely they've not forgotten having to watch the Bengals celebrate their win in the AFC Championship game.

Since the start of the 2019 season, the Chiefs are 13-5 ATS as underdogs or favorites of three points or less. 

8* PLAY ON KANSAS CITY CHIEFS. 

SEAHAWKS/RAMS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Rams are coming into this game 1-7 in their last eight and on a five-game losing streak.

They'll be without QB Matthew Stafford, wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson, and star defensive tackle Aaron Donald just to mention a few, but Seattle should not lay this many points even to the Rams backups.

Even the backups are professionals who are playing for contracts and their future in the NFL. 

8* PLAY ON LA RAMS. 

Mike Lundin's Jets vs Vikings Free Pick

Minnesota is coming into this game with a 9-2 record, but they've been on the right side in a boatload of one-score games and their metrics suggest this is nothing more than an average team.

The Jets are coming off a 31-10 win against the Bears and looked great of offense with Mike White under center instead of Zach Wilson. 

White threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns and here he'll face a Minnesota defense that ranks dead last against the pass allowing 276.1 passing yards per game. 

FREE PICK ON NEW YORK JETS. 

Mike Lundin just might be the hottest handicapper in the world right now! He's 8-1 (89%) since November 30 and 63-41 (61%), +$17,440 since the start of November!

BILLS/PATS T.N.F 10* TOP PLAY

The Bills are 1-4 ATS in their last five games and here they'll face a Pats team that has played well in recent weeks. The Patriots have had this game circled since the schedule came out as they look to avenge last a 47-17 loss to the Bills in last season's playoffs. The Pats are not putting up a ton of points, but they are well coached and their defense rarely lets them down. 

10* PLAY ON NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. 

STEELERS/COLTS NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Steelers took a 37-30 loss as a 3.5-point home underdog against Cincinnati last week. They rarely fail to cover the spread two games in a row though. They are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS loss and 33-16-2 ATS in their last 51 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. The Colts are having a tough season and they are 1-4 in their last five games. The Steelers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

10* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH STEELERS. 

PACKERS/EAGLES SUNDAY NIGHT BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a good spot for the Eagles to come through with a strong outing after failing to cover the spread in three straight games. They can move the ball through both the air and on the ground and the Packers run defense ranks 25th in the NFL allowing 135.8 rushing yards per game. The Packers offense is not what it used to be, and I don't see them keeping pace with the Eagles. 

Eagles are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Packers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games.

8* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA EAGLES. 

FALCONS/COMMANDERS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Washington Commanders are 5-1 SU and 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games. They're coming off back-to-back road wins at Philadelphia and Houston, but now they'll face an Atlanta team that has thrived in the role as underdogs this season. The Falcons are 6-2 ATS as underdogs and I think the Commanders are being overvalued by the betting market here due to their recent success. 

8* PLAY ON ATLANTA FALCONS. 

NFL ATS GAME OF THE MONTH - RAVENS/JAGS 10* BEST BET

The Ravens are on a roll, coming into this game on a four-game winning streak and 7-3 over their last 10 games. They held Carolina to three points and just over 200 yards last week and they sacked Carolina quarterback Baker Mayfield four times. Now, they'll face a Jacksonville team that has been limited to 17 points in three of its last four games.

The Jags have had extra time to prepare as they're coming off their bye week, but I think they'll find it extremely hard to put up points against this Ravens D.

10* PLAY ON BALTIMORE RAVENS. 

Super Early Bills/Lions BOOKIE BREAKER

The Bills are coming off a 31-23 win against Cleveland, but they're still not humming on all cylinders at the moment. The win aside, we can note that the Browns outgained the Bills by 39 yards and QB Josh Allen was limited to 197 yards passing. The Lions are playing their best football of the season, coming off three straight wins. The Lions are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games.

8* play on Detroit Lions. 

Top-rated 10* 49ers/Cardinals M.N.F. BOOKIE BREAKER

The Niners may not be built to blow teams out of the water, but I think they match up well against the Cardinals. Arizona QB Kyler Murray missed last week's game with a hamstring injury, and if he takes the field here he'll be running for his life against the best defense in the NFL. Murray was a limited participant in practice this week, as was backup QB Colt McCoy who led the team to an upset win against the Rams last week. Following that win, I would not be surprised to see the Cards come out flat tonight. 

49ers are 15-4 ATS in their last 19 Monday games. Cardinals are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 Monday games.

10* play on San Francisco 49ers. 

Chiefs/Chargers Sunday Night BOOKIE BOMBER

The Chargers took a 22-16 loss at San Francisco in primetime last Sunday night. They still covered the spread, and they get another chance in a primetime battle here against the Kansas City Chiefs. Sure, the Chiefs might be the best team in the league, but the Chargers are averaging a healthy 265 passing yards per game (5th) and the Chiefs rank only 25th against the pass. Even if the Chiefs pull away early, there's a good chance for a backdoor cover. 

8* play on LA Chargers. 

BENGALS/STEELERS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

Since the start of the 2018 season, the Steelers are 7-0-2 ATS as home underdogs. They always show up in divisional matchups and they are 22-10-1 ATS in the last 33 meetings with Cincy. The Bengals are at risk of coming out flat following a dominant 42-21 win against Carolina. 

8* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH STEELERS. 

COWBOYS/VIKES NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Vikes are tied with Philadelphia for the best record in the NFL. The Cowboys are coming off a disappointing OT loss at Green Bay, and while they are 4-1 at home, they are only 2-2 on the road. The Vikes are undefeated home at U.S. Bank Stadium and we should see a strong performance from Dalvin Cook against a Cowboys defense that ranks 29th against the run with 143.1 rypg allowed. 

8* PLAY ON MINNESOTA VIKINGS. 

NFL ATS GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* RAIDERS/BRONCOS BEST BET

The Broncos and the Raiders might be two of the most disappointing teams this season. The Broncos took a 17-10 loss at Tennesee last week but they are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. The Raiders are 0-5 SU on the road this season and 3-13 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a losing home record (Denver is 2-2 at home). 

10* PLAY ON DENVER BRONCOS. 

PANTHERS/RAVENS NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Panthers are 2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS in their last four games. The Ravens are coming off their bye, but they are only 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a bye week and 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Also, the Ravens do not have a major rest advantage as Carolina's last game was Thursday, November 10. This looks like too many points to cover against a Panthers team that is starting to come together. 

8* PLAY ON CAROLINA PANTHERS. 

TOP-RATED 10* TITANS/PACKERS T.N.F. TOP PLAY

The Packers came from behind to beat Dallas last week, but I'm still not sold on this team at all. While the Packers have been overvalued for most of the season, the betting market has been undervaluing the Titans all season long and they have covered the spread in seven straight games, winning six of those outright. The Packers are awful against the run, and the Titans have the second-leading rusher in the league in Derrick Henry. 

10* PLAY ON TENNESSEE TITANS

COMMANDERS/EAGLES M.N.F. BOOKIE BREAKER

The Eagles are an undefeated 8-0 on the season, but these divisional matchups can be tricky affairs. The Commanders have been more competitive with Taylor Heinicke under center. They are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four games and each of their last five games has been one-score affairs. Philly is getting more and more overvalued with each win. 

8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON COMMANDERS. 

NFC GAME OF THE YEAR ATS - 10* MAJOR WAGER

The Packers are coming into this game on a five-game losing streak. They're extremely banged up and here they'll face a Dallas team that is coming out of their bye week and put up 49 points on Chicago last time out.

The Packers have struggled to stop the run all season long and Dallas is averaging a respectable 4.7 yards per carry (13th) and 28.1 rushing attempts per game (10th). 

10* PLAY ON DALLAS COWBOYS. 

BRONCOS/TITANS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

There's a good chance we'll see Ryan Tannehill back under center for this one. He was a game-time decision when the Titans lost by only three points as a two-touchdown underdog at Kansas City Monday night, despite backup QB Malik Willis completing only five passes for 80 yards. I have no doubt they'll smoke Denver with Tannehill under center. The Broncos defeated the Jags in London on October 30, but they had lost four in a row prior to that win. Even with the Broncos coming out of their bye week, they still have a lot to figure out.

Titans are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game. Broncos are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win. Broncos are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win.

8* PLAY ON TENNESSEE TITANS. 

COLTS/PATS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Pats have won three of their last four games while the Colts are coming off a pair of losses to Tennessee and Washington. The Colts offense has been really bad all season, but their defense is solid and I think the Pats will struggle to get separation. 

Colts are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS loss. Patriots are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win.

8* PLAY ON INDIANAPOLIS COLTS. 

RAIDERS/JAGS BOOKIE BOMBER

This looks like a good spot to back the Raiders to bounce back from a shutout loss at New Orleans last week. They had scored 32, 29 and 39 points in their previous three games, and here they'll face a Jacksonville defense that has allowed 34, 23 and 21 points over the last three weeks (all losses). 

8* PLAY ON LAS VEGAS RAIDERS. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* PACKERS/LIONS TOP PLAY

The Lions are coming into this game on a five-game losing streak, but the Packers are in almost equally rough shape coming off four straight losses.

This is the Packers' third straight game away from home while the Lions have remained home in Detroit since a 31-27 home loss to Miami last week.

Lions are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss. Packers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 meetings.

10* PLAY ON DETROIT LIONS. 

TOP-RATED 10* EAGLES/TEXANS T.N.F. BOOKIE BREAKER

I'm still not 100% sold on the Eagles, but they are looking more and more like the real deal. They are running the ball very well, and this could get ugly for the Texans who rank dead last against the run. Additionally, the Texans are beat up on defense and their offense is just terrible. Eagles are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Thursday games. Texans are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 Thursday games.

10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA EAGLES. 

MIKE'S BENGALS/BROWNS M.N.F. BOOKIE BREAKER

The Bengals have won four of their last five games and they are 5-0 ATS during that stretch. It's tough to play at that level for an extended amount of time, and here they'll face a Browns team that is desperate for a win after suffering four straight defeats. Divisional matchups tend to be close, and the underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these two teams. 

8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND BROWNS. 

MIKE'S STEELERS/EAGLES NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

The Eagles are 6-0 SU and 4-2 ATS and hyped up as a Super Bowl candidate, but I'm not sold on them just yet. They've played a super soft schedule, and the Steelers are experts at hanging around in games they have no business winning. 

8* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH STEELERS. 

MIKE'S CARDINALS/VIKES NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Cardinals will be a much better team moving forward with star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins back from suspension. They defeated the Saints 42-34 last Thursday and I would not be surprised to see the Vikes coming out flat here after four straight wins. Cardinals are 20-8-2 ATS in their last 30 road games.

8* PLAY ON ARIZONA CARDINALS. 

NFC/AFC GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S BEARS/PATS M.N.F. BEST BET

I love Chicago in this spot as the Pats are getting way too much respect following their blowout win at Cleveland last Sunday. The Bears meanwhile are getting no respect whatsoever after three straight losses, the most recent at home against a weak Washington team. That was a Thursday night game, so the Bears have had extra time to prepare for this one. I would not be surprised to see Pats rookie QB Bailey Zappe with a poor outing as he might be feeling a bit too confident after throwing for 309 yards and two TDs on 24-of-34 passing against the Browns.

10* PLAY ON CHICAGO BEARS. 

MIKE'S TEXANS/RAIDERS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

Both teams are coming off their bye week, and I think the Raiders will find it difficult to pull away from a Houston team that has been surprisingly competitive, at least against the spread. The Raiders on the other hand have not been nearly as good as expected, and Davante Adams and Darren Waller are dealing with injuries. The Raiders are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a bye week.

8* PLAY ON HOUSTON TEXANS.

MIKE'S LIONS/COWBOYS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

I like Detroit here as I expect a strong outing from the Lions who are coming out of their bye week after getting humiliated in a shut out loss to the Pats on October 9. The Cowboys are in a potential flat spot after battling divisional rivals Philly on primetime Sunday night. Lions are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss.

8* PLAY ON DETROIT LIONS. 

MIKE'S BRONCOS/CHARGERS M.N.F BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a potential flat spot for the Chargers following back-to-back road wins at Houston and Cleveland. 

The Broncos continue to struggle on offense, but they have one of the best defensive units in the league. They've been particularly good against the pass, and the Chargers do rarely pose much of a threat on the ground. 

In their last game, the Broncos took a 12-9 loss to the Colts. That was a Thursday night game, giving them extra time to prepare for this one and the Broncos are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. The Chargers are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

8* PLAY ON DENVER BRONCOS. 

MIKE'S COWBOYS/EAGLES S.N.F. BOOKIE BU$TER

Dallas QB Cooper Rush is 5-0 SU and ATS as a starter (1-0 last season, 4-0 this season). The Cowboys have already defeated the Bengals and the Rams as underdogs and now they'll face a 5-0 Philly team that is way overrated because of its record. 

The Eagles are being touted as a top 3 team in the league, but I'm not sure I would have them in my top 5. They're getting a lot of respect for their undefeated record, but look at who they've played and I'm sure everyone will agree that they've played a really soft schedule. 

8* PLAY ON DALLAS COWBOYS. 

MIKE'S PANTHERS/RAMS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

This looks like a terrific "get right" spot for the Rams following back-to-back losses to San Francisco and Dallas. They struggled to get going against two offenses, but now they'll face a Carolina team that gave up 37 points to the Niners last week and 26 points to Arizona the week before (both games at home). The Panthers are an absolute mess and Matt Rhule was sacked from the head coach position earlier this week.

Rams are 13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 games following a double-digit loss at home.

8* PLAY ON LA RAMS. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* ATS MAJOR WAGER

This looks like a great spot to back a Jacksonville team coming off a 13-6 home loss to Houston.

The Jaguars put up 422 yards of offense and outgained their opponent by 174 yards, but two INTs from QB Trevor Lawrence cost them dearly. I expect the Jags' offense to do well here against a Colts defense that ranks 30th in the league with only four takeaways on the season. 

The Colts are coming off an OT win at Denver on Thursday Night Football, but it was a struggle and I honestly still can't wrap my head around how the Broncos gifted them the game. Also, these two teams have already faced each other once this season, on Sep 18 when the Jags won 24-0. 

10* PLAY ON JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS. 

AFC GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* BENGALS/RAVENS S.N.F. BEST BET

The Bengals are rolling again after a slow start to the season Over the last two weeks, they have outscored the Jets and the Dolphins by a combined score of 45-27 and they've had extra time to rest and prepare after beating Miami on Thursday night football.

The Ravens on the other hand are coming off a physical game against Buffalo, a game they lost.

Divisional rivalries are almost always close, and I love the Bengals in this spot. 

Bengals are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 vs. AFC. Bengals are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. AFC North. Bengals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Baltimore.

10* PLAY ON CINCINNATI BENGALS. 

MIKE'S EAGLES/CARDINALS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

This looks like a good spot to fade the 4-0 Eagles who also have covered the spread in three straight games. The Eagles are now touted as a top-three team in the league, but I'm not sold on them yet. While 4-0, they've played a soft schedule while Arizona has faced some tough opponents. The Eagles are overvalued and the Cardinals are undervalued. which is exactly the type of situation we are looking for. 

8* PLAY ON ARIZONA CARDINALS. 

MIKE'S FALCONS/BUCS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

The Falcons are 2-2 SU and 4-0 ATS on the season. All their games have been decided by four points or fewer, and Tampa Bay has looked out of sorts in recent weeks. Sure, the Bucs have had a tough schedule to start the season, but they're only 2-2 and one can't help but wonder if Tom Brady made the right decision to unretire. He's getting virtually no relief from the running game, and the Falcons have looked surprisingly good when on the ball. 

8* PLAY ON ATLANTA FALCONS. 

MIKE'S LIONS/PATRIOTS SIDE

This is about as square of a bet as it gets, but Detroit's mix of a potent offense and soft defense is ideal for overs. 

Detroit is 1-3 despite averaging an NFL-best 35 points per game. Their defense is absolutely atrocious, and even veteran QB Brian Hoyer or rookie QB Bailey Zappe, whoever gets the start under center for the Pats, should be able to move the ball. Over is 7-0 in Patriots last 7 home games.

In addition to the over, I also like Detroit to bounce back from their 48-45 loss to Seattle last week. Detroit is money against the spread as underdogs and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss.

8* PLAY ON DETROIT LIONS.
