01-19-20 | Packers v. 49ers OVER 44.5 | Top | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 154 h 53 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the OVER Packers/49ers. If you're betting on this game, then I don't need to break down the strengths and weaknesses of each team. We all know the story lines here. These teams are similar. Each team has a better than average offense and defense. Both have dynamic, play-making QB's and explosive offensive weapons. Each is well coached. Special teams numbers are also close. The 49ers shut down Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in their regular season victory, but I believe that Green Bay will have to lean on Rodgers from start to finish if it has any shot at winning this game. If the veteran can put pressure on Garropolo, then perhaps the inexperienced pivot will have a letdown here. Regardless, I expect the visitors to air this one out early and often on offense. Key Trends: - Green Bay has interestingly already seen the total go over the number in three of four this year after a win by six points or less. - San Francisco has seen the total eclipse the posted number in seven of its last ten as a favorite. The verdict: When it's all said and done, look for these two gun-slinging QB's to be the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries; play the over! | |||||||

If the Titans had jumped out to the same lead in which the Texans did last week over the Chiefs, do you think they'd have tragically choked it away in the same fashion? I say no way. Tennessee's defense and its run first offense have been firing on all cylinders for months now and I would have expected them to grind out the victory in that case. It was an unbelievable set of circumstances which led to KC's historic come from behind blowout victory. The Texans had a complete mental collapse and the Chiefs rode a wave of incredible momentum to the improbable result. The Titans beat the Chiefs 35-32 earlier in the year and I believe they have a legitimate shot at doing that again today. Key Trends: - The Titans are 5-3 ATS as an underdog this year. - Tennessee is 7-3 ATS on the road. - The Chiefs are already interestingly 0-2 ATS this year after scoring 25 points or more in two straight games. The verdict: In a game which I believe will be decided by whichever of these talented teams has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points! | |||||||
01-12-20 | Seahawks v. Packers OVER 46 | Top | 23-28 | Win | 100 | 129 h 30 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK is on the OVER Hawks/Packers. It may be cold and wintery at Lambeau today, but I expect these two teams to easily combine to push this total over the posted number once it's all said and done. Seattle comes in off the 17-9 win at Philly in the Wild Card round. Green Bay ranks 23rd against the rush, so Travis Homer and Marshawn Lynch will have their opportunities today, which will also in turn open things up for Russell Wilson to operate. The Packers have had a week off to game-plan and heal up. The Hawks got "lucky" that Eagles' QB Carson Wentz went down with injury early, but I believe they'll have their hands full with Aaron Rodgers in this spot. Rogers and the offense finished sixth in the league in Red Zone efficiency as well. Key Trends: - Seattle has already seen both games it's played in this year go "over" the number after allowing 14 points or less in its previous outing. - The Packers have seen the total eclipse the posted number in seven of their last eight as a home favorite in the 3.5 to seven points range. The verdict: I think the Hawks "break the mold" this week. Seattle can't wait for Green Bay to make the first mistake here and with the visitors pushing from the "get go," I do indeed expect this one to soar well over the number once it's finished; play the over! | |||||||
01-12-20 | Texans +9.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 31-51 | Loss | -120 | 172 h 52 m | Show |
My 10* PLAYOFF GAME OF THE YEAR is on the Texans. Will rest lead to rust for the Chiefs? I'm involved in a "Straight Up" Playoff Pool this year and all 40 people chose the Ravens to beat the Titans SU yesterday. Did rest lead to rust for LaMar Jackson and company? It certainly can't be ignored as a potential reason in why the Ravens had such a big collapse. But it also comes down to game-planning and coaching. The Texans have a more capable QB in Deshaun Watson directing the show today and I think he has much more than just a "punchers chance" here this afternoon. The Texans have playmakers on offense in Carlos Hyde, DeAndre Hopkins and Kenny Stills. Yes the Chiefs look better on paper. Yes they have the home field advantage. But that sure didn't help the Ravens yesterday. I see a lot of similarties here today. Watson and company aren't going to be intimidated and they're no less "hungry" than the Chiefs. Key Trends: - KC is just 1-5 ATS in its last six playoff home ames. - The Chiefs are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven playoff games when playing the role of favorite. - The Texans are 5-2 ATS in their last seven as an underdog and 5-2 ATS in their last seven on the road as well. The verdict: I like Watson to contorl the clock while on offense and while I will stop short in calling for the outright upset, let's grab the points and expect a nail-biter! | |||||||
01-11-20 | Titans v. Ravens OVER 47 | Top | 28-12 | Loss | -116 | 153 h 5 m | Show |
My 10* PLAYOFF TOTAL OF THE YEAR is on the OVER Titans/Ravens. Both offenses are firing on all cylinders as we head into the Divisional Round. Ryan Tannehill and the Titans had their hands full with New England's defense last weekend. It was RB Derrick Henry who posted a monster day and he will also be leaned upon heavily here as well. Tannehill had a monster second half for the Titans and while he was relatively quiet in New England last weekend, I think he'll be the focal point of the visitors offense today. And what more can be said about LaMar Jackson which hasn't been said a millions times at this point by all the talking heads out there. Jackson's innate need to constantly be the best and to win, is likely the best asset he possesses as well. Key Trends: - Tennessee has seen the total go over the number in three of four already this season as an underdog in the 3.5 to 9.5 points range. - Baltimore has seen the total soar over the number in five of its last six after two straight wins by ten points or more. The verdict: After last week's lower-scoring matches in the Wild Card round, I'm expecting some fireworks in the Divisional. Especially in this highly anticipated contest; play the over! | |||||||
01-11-20 | Vikings +7.5 v. 49ers | 10-27 | Loss | -130 | 103 h 29 m | Show | |
My 8* SPECIAL is on the Minnesota Vikings. The 49ers got injured in the second half of the regular season and they enter this one still banged up somewhat. Is San Francisco' QB Jimmy Garropolo better than Vikes' pivot Kirk Cousins? He's certainly not more experienced. Minnesota's offense is firing on all cylinders and the fact that it just kept Drew Brees and the Saints' under wraps in their own building on the road in the Wild Card proves that its defense is among the best as well. Honestly I see no advantage for San Francisco here, other than the "home field" advantage. And to me, that's definitely not worth a TD's worth of points (give or take.) Key Trends: - Minnesota is 3-1 ATS in its last four as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points. - San Francisco is only 3-4 ATS this year as a home favorite. The verdict: The Vikings got healthier and better over the second half. The 49ers got injured and exposed in the same time period. Outright victory?! Very possible! But in a game which I see coming down to whichever of these talented sides has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points! | |||||||
01-05-20 | Seahawks -1.5 v. Eagles | Top | 17-9 | Win | 100 | 126 h 34 m | Show |
My 10* SUPER SIDE PLAY is on the Hawks. Clearly the oddsmakers think these teams are evenly matched. The Eagles have home field advantage, so that's a big plus for them obviously. If this game was in Seattle, the Hawks would be favored by around -4.5 or so? Regardless of that though, I think that Russell Wilson is better than Carson Wentz and I believe he has a better and healthier group of playmakers around him. That's the bottom line here from a situational stand point anyways. Key Trends: - Seattle is 4-1 ATS on the road. - The Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last six off a loss by six points or less. - Philly is already 0-3 ATS this season after allowing 17 points or less in two straight games. The verdict: Wentz is lacking options and an injured Zach Ertz isn't going to save the day. I'm on Seattle! | |||||||
01-05-20 | Vikings v. Saints OVER 48 | Top | 26-20 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 2 m | Show |
My 10* TOP TOTAL is on the OVER Vikes/Saints. Minnesota posted the "The Minneapolis Miracle" vs. the Saints in 2018, which sent the Vikes to the NFC Championship Game, so now New Orelans has an opportunity to avenge that setback. The Vikes are expected to have Dalvin Cook back in the line-up this week, but I still don't think it'll matter in this difficult road venue. The Vikes' Kirk Cousins finished with 26 TD's and six INT's, while Saints' veteran Drew Brees finished with 27 TD's this season, despite missing several games with an injury. How does New Orleans gets its revenge today? Certainly not by playing conservatively or letting the Vikes dictate the tempo of play. If Brees is going to get the monkey off his back and earn another SB, he's going to have to put the pedal down from start to finish. Situationally I believe this one definitely sets up as a "shootout." Key Trends: - Minnesota has seen the total go over the number in five of eight on the road this year. - New Orleans has seen the total eclipse the posted number in seven of its last ten when playing the role of favorite. The verdict: I believe these two veteran QB's in their primes will be the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries; play the over! | |||||||
01-04-20 | Titans +5 v. Patriots | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 106 h 31 m | Show | |
My 9* SIDE WINNER is on the Tennessee Titans. The Patriots have Tom Brady, Bill Bellichick, home field advantage and experience on their side today. These four factors have carried this organization for a decade, but this season more than ever, it appears for sure that Brady has taken a major step back. His defense has had to carry the load for the most part this season. Last week in a big game he choked and lost to the lowly Dolphins. If this isn't a major warning sign, I don't know what is? Tennessee wants to make history today. Trust me, the other teams in the league are tired of the Patriots making all the headlines and if they have a chance to kick them when they're down, they're going to do it. With nothing to lose, I think that Derrick Henry, Ryan Tannehill and the hungry Titans have much more than just a "punchers chance" in this one vs. this shaky Patriots team. Key Trends: - Tennessee is 5-3 ATS on the road this year. - New England is 3-4 ATS at home this season. - The Patriots are only 1-5 ATS this year vs. teams with winning records. The verdict: I think this one comes down to the wire and in a contest like that, I'll grab the points! | |||||||
01-04-20 | Bills +3 v. Texans | Top | 19-22 | Push | 0 | 102 h 43 m | Show |
My 10* SIDE WINNER is on the Buffalo Bills. DeShaun Watson is a better QB than Josh Allen. And that's big. It's the most important position on the field of play. Combined with the "home field" advantage, clearly the underdog Bills have their work cut out for them this afternoon. But other than the QB position, I believe Buffalo has the advantage in all three phases. The Bills were good on the road this season as well, finishing 4-0 ATS as an away underdog and 6-0 ATS overall. Key Trends: - Buffalo is 3-0 ATS this year off a home loss. - Texans are 2-6 ATS at home this season. - Houston is a poor 1-6 ATS as a favorite this year. The verdict: I'll even recommend to sprinkle a little on the money line here, but the official play is the Bills and the points! | |||||||
12-29-19 | Steelers v. Ravens +2 | 10-28 | Win | 100 | 76 h 58 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Baltimore Ravens. Pittsburgh needs to win this game and get some extra help to make the playoffs. It's not impossible, just unlikely. The Ravens have already clinched home field advantage and they'll be turning to RG 3 under center. Regardless of all of these facts, I still like the Ravens to find a way to get the job done here and stick it to their division rival. Devlin Hodges had two INT's vs. the Jets last weekend and I think he'll struggle here in this difficult road venue. The Ravens turn to RG 3 and he'll be playing with a chip on his shoulder. I expect the veteran to run this offense seamlessly, as he and Lamar Jackson do in fact have very similar play styles. Key Trends: - The Ravens concede just 18.1 PPG, good for third in the league. - Baltimore is 8-1 ATS in its last nine following a SU victory. - Pittsburgh is 4-8 ATS in its last 12 as a road favorite. The verdict: Clearly I believe the outright win is in the cards, but let's grab the points! | |||||||
12-29-19 | Raiders +3.5 v. Broncos | 15-16 | Win | 100 | 76 h 58 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Oakland Raiders. The Broncos are out of the playoffs and their only motivation today is to play spoiler vs. the Raiders here, who need to win and get some outside help before they can earn a playoff spot. The Raiders were disastrous last year and not much was expected of them this season either, so I think it is in fact a big testament to Jon Gruden's coaching skills that the team is in the position that it's in at the moment. The Raiders come in with momentum as well after a win over the Chargers last weekend. QB Derek Carr has a decent 20 TD's to just eight INT's. RB Josh Jacobs is a difference maker as well, as he has 1,150 rushing yards and seven TD's this year. Denver's looked a bit better of late, winning three of its last four, but it's clearly too little too late. Last week they got destroyed 23-3 on the road in KC. Key Trends: - Oakland is already 3-1 ATS this year as a road dog of seven points or less. - Denver is a terrible 6-13 ATS in its last 19 as a favorite. The verdict: I like Gruden and Carr to continue to surprise people this season witn another victory in this crucial spot (that said, let's grab the points!) | |||||||
12-29-19 | Eagles -4.5 v. Giants | Top | 34-17 | Win | 100 | 76 h 58 m | Show |
My 10* play is on the Eagles. Despite being down several players today, I like the Eagles to find a way to get the job done here vs. the Giants, who can only help themselves with another loss, as far as bettering their chances in the upcoming draft this summer. Philly can clinch the NFC East with a win today after beating the Cowboys last weekend. Carson Wentz has been better than average with a 26:7 TD:INT. New York has won two in a row, including a 41-35 OT victory vs. the Skins on the road last weekend. But playing the hapless Skins is one thing and facing this playoff hopeful Eagles team is quite another. QB Daniel Jones has a 23:11 TD:INT. Key Trends: - Philadelphia is 3-1 ATS already this season off a division game. - The Eagles are 7-0 ATS in their last seven off an upset win as an underdog. - The Giants are only 4-12 ATS in their last 16 as a home dog (which includes going 0-4 ATS this season.) The verdict: I think the writing is on the wall and a blowout is in the cards; lay the points! | |||||||
12-23-19 | Packers v. Vikings OVER 47 | Top | 23-10 | Loss | -104 | 36 h 36 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL BLOOD-BATH is on the OVER Packers/Vikings. Green Bay travels to Minnesota in a pivotal matchup on Monday night. The Packers can wrap up the division tonight with a victory. The Vikings though have earned a playoff spot already with the 49ers' victory over the Rams, but they still have a shot at earning the division crown as well. As long as they win tonight. These teams feature two dynamic QB's and when the dust does finally settle at the end of this one, I think they'll have "stolen the show." Note that Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers has a sharp 24:2 TD:INT, while Vikings' pivot Kirk Cousins has a 25:5 TD:INT. Key Trends: - Green Bay has seen the total eclipse the posted number in six of its last seven after completing a two-game home stand (including both such instances this season.) - Minnesota has seen the total soar over in four of five already this year vs. clubs with winning records. The verdict: The Vikes play with revenge here. Cousins plays with a chip on his shoulder as he's 0-8 on Monday Night games in his career. The first game of this series went "under" the number, but the numbers and the overall situation each team finds itself in coming into this contest all point to the "over" as the savvy call tonight! | |||||||
12-22-19 | Chiefs v. Bears OVER 44 | Top | 26-3 | Loss | -110 | 55 h 49 m | Show |
My 10* SLAUGHTER-FEST is on the OVER Chiefs/Bears. Kansas City has clinched the division, but home field advantage in the playoffs is still up for grabs. The Bears are now out of playoff contention though and are just playing for pride and to play "spoiler" here. Bears' QB Mitchell Trubisky though will be plenty motivated here to try and finish out the season on a high note after struggling to start it. The Chiefs though will be looking to deliver the knock out blow on the National stage, note that they come in averaging the fourth most points in the NFL at 28.1 per contest. Key Trends: - Kansas City has seen the total go over the number in three of four already this year as a road favorite of seven points or less. - Chicago has seen the total eclipse the posted number in seven of its last ten after having won two out of its last three games SU. The verdict: I believe Mahomes and Trubisky will be the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries; play the over! | |||||||
12-22-19 | Cowboys v. Eagles +2 | Top | 9-17 | Win | 100 | 51 h 55 m | Show |
My 10* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE is on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys come in off a big 44-21 win at home over the Rams last weekend. Previous to that they'd dropped three straight. This isn't a letdown spot for Dallas, as a win today will clinch it the division. I just think it's terrible inconsistency in its play from week to week once again comes back to haunt it here. The Eagles' are 7-7 also and if they want to earn the division crown, they have to win this game today and also next week vs. the Giants. That's obviously a very "doable" task and I think that the home field advantage does matter in this instance. The Eagles pulled away for a crucial 37-27 win over Washington last week and I believe they carry that momenumt over here. Key Trends: - The Cowboys are a poor 2-3 ATS in their last five as a road favorite of three points or less (including 0-1 ATS this year.) - Philadelphia is 3-1 ATS in its last four as a home dog of three points or less. The verdict: I like Carson Wentz and the home side to grind out a victory in front of the home town crowd; that said, grab the points! | |||||||
12-22-19 | Jaguars v. Falcons -7 | 12-24 | Win | 100 | 48 h 31 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams come in off rare victories, but neither will be involved in the post-season. In this meaningless Week 16 contest, I don't think that the home field advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor once it's all said and done. The Falcons though have won four of their last six games, while the Jags had lost six in a row before picking up a win over the hapless Raiders last weekend. The Jags needed a miracle to come from behind at 16-3 at halftime. Atlanta QB' Matt Ryan is a difference maker for me, as the veteran has 3,749 passing yards, to go along with 24 TD's and 12 INT's. Key Trends: - Atlanta is 5-1 ATS the last six in this series. - Jacksonville is just 2-9 ATS in its last 11 non-conference games (including 0-3 ATS this year.) The verdict: As mentioned above, I like Ryan to easily outduel his rookie counterpart; lay the points! | |||||||
12-22-19 | Saints v. Titans +3 | 38-28 | Loss | -125 | 48 h 31 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Titans. Here's another one where I don't think that the home field advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor once it's all said and done. New Orleans is in the playoffs, but it's still fighting for home field. The Titans though lost to Houston last weekend, meaning that this is a "must win" contest. And I believe that matters today. It sets up as a letdown/trap for the Saints, who saw veteran QB Drew Brees break Peyton Manning's all time TD record in last week's 34-7 blowout victory at home over the Colts. Ryan Tannehill isn't given much credit, but I think the Titans' QB is a difference maker today, so far he has 2,272 yards and a sharp 17:6 TD:INT. Key Trends: - Interestingly, the Saints are just 1-3 ATS in the last two weeks of the regular season over the last two years. - The Titans are 5-1 ATS in their last six as a home dog (including 1-0 ATS this season.) The verdict: Look for the "hungrier" team to pull it off this afternoon; that said, grab the points! | |||||||
12-22-19 | Steelers v. Jets +3 | 10-16 | Win | 105 | 48 h 31 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the New York Jets. Following a pattern here with this all early three-game NFL report, sees the "home field advantage" as a deciding factor in this contest in my opinion. Pittsburgh "has" to win this game if it has any hopes of a playoff spot. Last week the Steelers fell 17-10 to the Bills and another loss here will be the final nail in the coffin to their season. Of course, Devlin Hodges will get the call under center for Pittsburgh today, its third string QB, who looked terrible last week at home vs. the Bills. Sam Darnold has looked decent at times this year and with a game in Buffalo next weekend to finish off the 2019/20 campaign, I believe he'll be given the green light to test this now weary Steelers' defenese, which has had to shoulder the load all year. Key Trends: - Pittsburgh is just 1-3 ATS in its last four after allowing 17 points or less in three straight games. - New York is 10-4 ATS in its last 14 as a home underdog. The verdict: I think this one sets up nicely for the home side; that said, grab the points! | |||||||
12-21-19 | Rams v. 49ers -6.5 | Top | 31-34 | Loss | -101 | 80 h 56 m | Show |
My 10* CLASH-OF-THE-TITANS is on the San Francisco 49ers. While the 49ers' surge has slowed down over the last month, I think they bounce back here and destroy this "on again, off again" Rams team. San Francisco will be plenty motivated here after falling at home to the lowly Falcons last weekend. It was a difficult spot though, as they had just come off a massive shootout road win over the the Saints. But I think the home side gets back on track in this favorable spot and lays the hammer down early and often. The Rams were crushed by the Cowboys last weekend and I think they'll have a hard time mustering up much of an attack here either. LA's defense has been stout so far this season, but I believe it takes a step back here vs. Jimmy Garoppolo and company. Key Trends: - LA is only 4-5 ATS in its last nine as an underdog. - The Rams are a poor 2-3 ATS in their last five following a road loss. - San Fran is 5-1 ATS this year vs. teams with winning records. The verdict: I like the focussed 49ers to deal the knock out blow to the Rams frustrating season; lay the points! | |||||||
12-21-19 | Bills v. Patriots OVER 37.5 | Top | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 76 h 12 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL BIG TIGER is on the OVER Bills/Patriots. Buffalo plays with revenge here after falling at home to the Patriots earlier in the season. The Bills though come in off a big win over the Steelers and they now have ten victories in a season for the first time in two decades. Early on it was Buffalo's stifiling defense which "stole the show," but over the last month it's also been the improved play from QB Josh Allen and the offense. With nothing to lose today, I look for Buffalo to open up the playbook. The Patriots are 11-3, but many have doubts about the play of QB Tom Brady. New England's defense has shown some cracks in the armor of late and I believe it'll be pushed here by this hungry visiting side. Brady plays with a chip on his shoulder as well today as he tries to guide his team to two more victories and a final 13-3 record. Key Trends: - Buffalo has seen the total go over in six of its last eight after scoring seven points or less in the first half in two straight games. - NE has seen the total go over the number in three of four already this season after covering as a double digit favorite. The verdict: The overall situation that each team finds itself in coming into this one, combined with the above strong O/U ATS stats, does indeed make the "over" the correct call in this one in my opinion! | |||||||
12-16-19 | Colts +10 v. Saints | Top | 7-34 | Loss | -121 | 37 h 2 m | Show |
My 10* U OF THE U is on the Colts. The Saints have locked up the NFC South, but they're still playing for better positioning. The Colts' red hot start to the season is firmly in the rear view mirror, but they can still make a wild card spot with a victory today. The Saints' defense was exposed early and often by the 49ers last week and I think that Jacoby Brissett and the Colts' offense will have their opportunities today. Clearly the Colts' defense will have its hands full, but I expect the visitors to fight until the final whistle. Key Trends: - Indy is 6-2 ATS in its last eight after allowing 30 or more points in its last game (including 2-0 ATS this year.) - New Orleans is just 1-6 ATS in its last seven as a home favorite in the 7.5 to ten points range. The verdict: I do indeed feel that the Colts can keep this one competitive throughout vs. a very shaky Saints' secondary; grab the points! | |||||||
12-15-19 | Bills +1.5 v. Steelers | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 35 h 33 m | Show | |
My 9* DESTROYER is on the Bills. These teams play similar styles, but I think that the Bills have a much better QB in place in Josh Allen, over Steelers third-stringer Devlin Hodges. Hodges had 147 yards and a TD last week vs. the Cardinals, but I believe the Steelers' offense will struggle to do anything today vs. a Bills' defense which is conceding only 16.3 PPG. Key Trends: - Pittsburgh is interestingly just 1-4 ATS in its last five after posting less than 150 passing yards in its previous game. - Buffalo is 6-0-1 ATS in its last seven on the road. - The Bills are 5-1 ATS in their last six as a road dog. The verdict: Look for Allen to be the key to our victory today; play on the Bills! | |||||||
12-15-19 | Bears v. Packers OVER 40 | Top | 13-21 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 25 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL is on the OVER Bears/Packers. Two teams that are very familiar with each other collide in the frigid confines of Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon and in my opinion, this one has "shootout" written all over it. The Packers have been stalling of late, but they still have a chance for the No. 1 seed in the NFC at 10-3. The Bears though are 7-6 and they need to win this one to keep pace for a wildcard spot. Chicago though has won three in a row now, including probably its most impressive performance of the year in last week's 31-24 win over Dallas. More than anything, it's QB Mitchell Trubisky who has finally started to perform at a much higher level (244 passing yards and three TD's.) Packers' QB Aaron Rodgers has 23 TD's and only two INT's this season. Key Trends: - Green Bay has seen the total go over in 11 of its last 14 off a home victory. - The Packers have seen the total go over in eight of their last 12 as a home favorite of seven points or less. The verdict: Despite the conditions, I think it'll be these two competent QB's which become the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries; play the over! | |||||||
12-15-19 | Texans v. Titans -3 | Top | 24-21 | Loss | -102 | 27 h 17 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on the Titans. Houston is 8-5. Tennessee is 8-5. Two teams enter, only one will leave with a victory. This is obviously a big game. Momentum is a big part of sports success and right now, the Titans have a ton of it. The Texans on other hand have been floundering of late. Suffice it to say, I expect both these trends to continue over in a big way here. Houston lost 38-24 at home to Denver last weekend, while Tennessee enters having won four in a row behind the resurgent play of QB Ryan Tannehill. Key Trends: - Tennessee is 4-0-1 ATS in its last five as a favorite. - Houston is 3-11 ATS in its last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The verdict: I think Tannehill is playing as good or better than Texans' QB DeShaun Watson. However, I like the Titans in every other aspect here and that makes the home side the correct call for sure; lay the short points! | |||||||
12-12-19 | Jets +16.5 v. Ravens | Top | 21-42 | Loss | -125 | 86 h 37 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE MONTH is on the New York Jets. I'll be the first to tell you that LaMar Jackson is deserving of the MVP award this year. The dynamic QB continues to set the league on fire and now his team is starting to play better on the defensive side of the ball as well. But the Jets have won four of five after last week's 21-20 win over Miami. In that contest, RB Le'Veon Bell did not play, but he's ready to go tonight. New York' QB Sam Darnold has looked brilliant one week and pretty ordinary the next, but the pivot is playing his best of the season right now, going for nine major scores and just two picks over his last five games. The Jets have to run the table to earn a wild card spot, so tonight's contest is "do or die" for New York. Key Trends: - The Jets are 6-2 ATS in their last eightafter two or more consecutive losses vs. the spread. - The Ravens are only 8-15 ATS in their last 23 at home (including just 2-4 ATS this season.) The verdict: I believe the "hungrier" team throws a big scare into the entitled home side; grab the points! | |||||||
12-09-19 | Giants +10.5 v. Eagles | Top | 17-23 | Win | 100 | 34 h 28 m | Show |
My 10* WINNER is on the New York Giants. Can the Giants win this one outright? Anything's possible of course, but I don't think it's likely. That said, with extended time off and with one last chance to prove himself, I think that Giants' veteran QB Eli Manning has an effecient enough game to keep his team in this one late. Manning has a lot to play for here, not only pride but with a chance to put the final nail in the coffin of the Eagles' playoff hopes. Manning has 566 passing yards, two TD's and two INT's this year in his limited time. Philly doesn't allow many rushing yards (91), but keep your eyes on RB Saquon Barkley all the same, as he has 544 rushing yards and two TD's this year. Philly has Washington on the road next weekend, followed by a home game vs. Dallas and then on the road vs. these very Giants to finish it off. Can Carson Wentz and the home side stay focussed on the task at hand? Key Trends: - New York is 13-6 ATS in its last 19 as a road dog. - The Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last six after scoring 17 points or less in two straight games. - The Eagles are 0-3 ATS in their last three as a home favorite in the 7.5 to ten points range. The verdict: Bengals' QB Andy Dalton responded with a big game in his first game back after being benched and I think that Manning has the same effort here; that said, grab the points! | |||||||
12-08-19 | Seahawks v. Rams UNDER 48 | Top | 12-28 | Win | 100 | 131 h 46 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH is on the UNDER Hawks/Rams. What's the first thing you think about when you look at these two teams? Clearly it has to start with each side's QB. LA turns to Jared Goff, who took the Rams to the Super Bowl last year and who will need to have a big day if his team is to win here. The Hawks turn to Russell Wilson, who has won a Super Bowl and is one of the favorites to win the MVP this season. Each team has an underrated defense though. The Rams allow 245 passing yards per game and 104 rushing. The Hawks allow 281 passing yards and 99 rushing yards per contest. Key Trends: - Seattle has interestingly seen the total go under the number in three of its last four after playing on Monday Night Football. - LA has seen the total go under in its last five games in revenging a loss where an opponent scored 28 or more points. The verdict: This is a big game for both teams. If Seattle wins, it clinches the division. The Rams HAVE to win to stay alive. I think each team tries to control the tempo of this one and put an added emphasis on ball control. These styles of contests invariably lead to lower-scoring games and that's exactly what I expect here; play the under! | |||||||
12-08-19 | Chiefs v. Patriots -2.5 | 23-16 | Loss | -135 | 102 h 16 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Patriots. KC beat Oakland 40-9 last week, but I think the Chiefs will have their hands full with a Patriots team coming off a listless 28-22 setback to the Texans. The annual parade of Tom Brady nay-sayers is out in full force now that the Pats' offense has been pretty lacklustre over the last month or so. Both teams are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, but I don't think that the home field advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor today. Key Trends: - KC is only 9-10 ATS in its last 19 vs. teams with winning records (including only 2-3 ATS this season.) - NE is 8-2 ATS in its last ten as a home favorite of seven points or less. The verdict: This is a spot in which Brady and New England have dominated in over the years and with their backs against the wall, I look for them to deliver in front of the home town crowd; lay the short points! | |||||||
12-08-19 | Broncos v. Texans -9 | 38-24 | Loss | -115 | 99 h 52 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Houston Texans. Houston is 8-4 and still looking for more as it tries to lock down a playoff spot. Denver is coming off a 23-20 win over the hapless Chargers, but at 4-8 it literally has less than a 1 percent chance of making the playoffs. The Texans are firing on all cylinders in winning four of their last five. QB DeShaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins are both ranked in the Top 5 in their respective positions. The defense catches a break here as well facing a Denver unit which has struggled with offensive consistency all year. Key Trends: - Denver is just 8-14 ATS in its last 22 on the road. - The Broncos are only 7-9 ATS in their last 16 vs. teams with winning reocrds. The verdict: With tough upcoming games to end the year, this is a contest which the Texans can ill afford to look past. Lay the points, expect a rout! |
