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! | |||||||

My 10* BIG TIGER is on the Tennessee Titans. 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. What I will do though is pose a question to you. 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! | |||||||

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! | |||||||
01-05-20 | 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 | 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 | 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! | |||||||

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! | |||||||
12-21-19 | 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 | 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! | |||||||

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 | Ravens v. Bills UNDER 43.5 | Top | 24-17 | Win | 100 | 99 h 52 m | Show |
My 10* play is on the Ravens/Bills under. The Ravens have won eight in a row behind the great play of QB Lamar Jackson and a steadily improving defense. The Bills are also putting together an exceptional season, behind a stellar defense and an improving offense. There are many story lines to this contest, but I think that in the end, this one will fall below the posted number. Key Trends: - The Ravens rank fifth in the league in points allowed with just 18.2. - Buffalo has given up just 38 points over its last three games. The verdict: Both teams depend on the run to score, with Baltimore ranked No. 1 and Buffalo ranked No. 5. Five of these team's last seven in the series have fallen under the number and everything points to another low-scoring battle on Sunday; play the under! | |||||||
12-08-19 | 49ers v. Saints -2.5 | Top | 48-46 | Loss | -107 | 99 h 52 m | Show |
My 10* play is on the New Orleans Saints. The 49ers are now 10-2 after falling 20-17 to Baltimore last week. San Francisco faces a 10-2 Saints team which enters off a big 26-18 victory over Atlanta. In the early going all the talk has been about the 49ers' defensive play, which has been pretty good for the most part this season. But note that the Saints are actually fourth in the league in sacks with 40 so far this year. New Orleans has also scored at least 26 points in ts last three games, with QB Drew Brees throwing for 726 yards and seven TD's in that span. Key Trends: - The 49ers are only 1-4 ATS in their last five off a road cover where it lost SU as an underdog. - The Saints are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 off a road victory (including 3-1 ATS this year.) The verdict: I think San Francisco stumbles in this difficult road venue; lay the short points! | |||||||
12-05-19 | Cowboys v. Bears +3 | Top | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 60 h 59 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Chicago Bears. This line has fluctuated from 2.5 to 3 throughout the week. I have 2.5. I think the Bears will win this one outright, but I'm going to grab the points in what should be a competitive battle until the end. Dallas got throughouly beatdown by the Bills at home on Thanksgiving. The offense wasn't horrible, as Prescott had 355 passing yars, but I believe the pivot takes a step back on the short week and at chilly Soldier Field. Chicago on the other hand won 24-20 over Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, coming from behind to win. QB Mitchell Trubisky finally showed some signs of life and I don't think there's any reason he won't carry that momentum over here. Key Trends: - The Cowboys are just 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. the NFC North. - Dallas is only 3-4 ATS in its last seven after a loss by ten points or more. - Chicago is 6-1 ATS in its last seven as a home underdog. The verdict: The Bears HAVE to win this one to keep pace in their division, while Dallas enters with a one game lead in the NFC East. I like Trubisky to outplay Prescott, but that said, let's grab the points! | |||||||
12-02-19 | Vikings +3 v. Seahawks | Top | 30-37 | Loss | -108 | 38 h 8 m | Show |
My 10* BLOOD-BATH is on the Vikings. I think "revenge" works as an angle here as Minnesota has lost five straight in this series. The Vikes have had a week off to prepare for this one though. With the Lions, Chargers, Packers and Bears stil to go, this is clearly a game that the Vikes can't let slip away. Seattle allows 282 passing yards per game and Vikes' QB Kirk Cousins has been "lights out" this year, with 21 TD's and three INT's to go along with 2,756 passing yards. The Vikes allow 268 passing yards and only 94.2 rushing. I think Wilson is going to have a difficult time moving the ball effeciently today vs. this top ranked defensive unit. Key Trends: - The Vikes are 10-5 ATS in their last 15 after losing a contest ATS (including 3-1 ATS this year.) - The Hawks are only 5-10 ATS in their last 15 as a home favorite (including just 1-4 ATS this season.) The verdict: In a contest which I see coming "down to the wire," let's grab the points! | |||||||
12-01-19 | Rams v. Cardinals OVER 47 | Top | 34-7 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 56 m | Show |
My 10* play is on the OVER Rams/Cardinals. The Rams are coming off a terrible blowout loss at home to the Ravens. Baltimore has been playing incredibly tough defense of late though and I think that Jared Goff and company can rebound here vs. the porous Cardinals' defense. Arizona has lost four straight, but it comes out of its bye week and with nothing to lose (except another game), I look for Kyler Murray and company open up the playbook as they look to deal their divisional opponent another blow. From a situational stand point, this one definitely sets up as a "shootout" in my opinion. Key Trends: - The Rams have seen the total eclipse the posted number in four of their last five following a home loss. - The Cards have seen the total go over the number in four of five at home already. The verdict: A repeat performance to the Super Bowl is now out of the question for St. Louis, but Goff is playing for his career and pride for the rest of the season. The Cards are rested and focussed and in my opinion when taking into account all of the above information, everything does indeed point to the "over" as the correct call in this one! | |||||||
11-28-19 | Bills v. Cowboys OVER 45 | Top | 26-15 | Loss | -109 | 58 h 57 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL BIG TIGER is on the over Bills/Cowboys. This is a big game for both teams. Buffalo has been riding its red hot defensive play all year, as the Bills concede just 288.6 YPG, behind only the 49ers and Patriots. But of late it's been the more confident play of QB Josh Allen which has stuck out to me; Allen now has 2,360 yards passing with 15 TD's and eight INT's. Dallas is coming off a heart-breaking loss to the Patriots and at 6-5, this has essentially become a must win game. The Cowboys clearly can't sit back and hope that Buffalo makes the first mistake. I absolutely think this one sets up as a high-scoring game, rather than a defensive war. Key Trends: - Dallas has seen the total go over in ten of its last 15 as a favorite. - The Cowboys have seen the total soar over in interestingly six of their last seven after a loss by six points or less. The verdict: I think Rosen can match pace with Dak Prescott and the home side this afternoon. In what I expect to be a faster-paced game, I look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later! | |||||||
11-28-19 | Bears v. Lions +3 | Top | 24-20 | Loss | -115 | 54 h 58 m | Show |
My 10* START-UP is on the Lions. Whether it's Jeff Driskel or David Blough under center for Detroit today, I think the home side takes the inconsistent Bears down to the wire (at the very least.) Does Mitchell Trubisky have the advantage at the QB position today over his counterparts? While Chicago did beat Detroit earlier in the year, it's gone 2-5 since, due in large part to an offense which averages just 17.1 PPG. Statistically these defenses are similar in many categories as well. Key Trends: - Chicago is just 1-3 ATS on the road this year. - The Bears are only 3-4 ATS in their last seven as a road favorite of seven points or less. - Detroit is interestingly 5-1 ATS in its last six after a loss by six points or less. The verdict: I think home field does matter in this one; grab the points! | |||||||
11-25-19 | Ravens v. Rams UNDER 47 | Top | 45-6 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 33 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the UNDER Ravens/Rams. The Ravens are in the midst of a five-game win streak and they come to the West Coast with an 8-2 record. A prime-time game on the West Coast after such an extended run of stellar play could be viewed by some as a classic "trap" game. The Rams have won three of their last five, most recently holding on for a 17-7 win over the Bears. Clearly the last thing these Rams can do is get into a "shootout" with Lamar Jackson and company. With the home side trying to limit mistakes and control the ball on offense, all signs point to a lower-scoring under in my opinion. Key Trends: - Baltimore has seen the total go under the number in interestingly ten of its last 14 after allowing 14 points or less in its previous contest. - LA has seen the total dip below the posted number in three of four at home already this season. The verdict: I expect a hard-fought, lower-scoring UNDER once it's all said and done! | |||||||
11-24-19 | Jaguars v. Titans -3.5 | Top | 20-42 | Win | 100 | 24 h 28 m | Show |
My 10* play is on the Titans. The Jags come in off a loss to Indianapolis, while the Titans come in off their bye week. Jacksonville welcomed back QB Nick Foles last week, but the offense only put up 13 points. Tennessee on the other hand scored a huge win over the Chiefs before its bye week and it's still now very much back in the playoff hunt with QB Ryan Tannehill under center. Key Trends: - Jacksonville is 0-3 ATS in its last three off a road blowout loss by 14 points or more. - Tennessee is 3-1 ATS in its last four after a win by three points or less. The verdict: The Jags are in trouble as they continue to make changes at QB. Tennessee has had a week off to game plan and I expect it to execute; lay the points! | |||||||
11-21-19 | Colts v. Texans OVER 44.5 | Top | 17-20 | Loss | -117 | 37 h 11 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the OVER Colts/Texans. I expect a shootout. The Colts are coming off a convincing win at home over the Jaguars and they have Jacoby Brissett back under center. True RB Marlon Mack is out, but fortunately the Colts still have capable RB's in Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, and Jonathan Williams. Indianapolis' defense has been stout of late, but I think the unit will definitely get tested here on the short week and vs. a Texans team which was embarrassed 41-7 last week by Baltimore. Yes Houston hasn't looked the same since losing JJ Watt to injury, but this has essentially become a "must win" for DeShaun Watson and company. The Texans also play with "in season revenge" after falling by 7 in Indy earlier in the campaign. Key Trends: - The Colts have seen the total go over in three of their last four after a home win by ten or more points. - The Texans have seen the total soar over in eight of their last ten vs. clubs with winning records. The verdict: Both teams are 6-4. To say this is a crucial matchup would be an understatement. I think the offenses "steal the show" on Thursday night; play the over! | |||||||
11-17-19 | Bears +6.5 v. Rams | Top | 7-17 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 14 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL U OF THE U is on the OVER Bills/Dolphins. Miami has won two in a row and it'll now look to build and to try and give the Bills a second straight loss in a row. For Buffalo, it's blazing start to the season is going to be in the rear view mirror if it can't start putting some production on the board. When these teams met earlier in the year though, it was Buffalo that laid the hammer down in the 31-21 victory and I believe a similar final combined score is on deck here as well. Key Trends: - The Bills have seen the total go over the number in six of their last eight after a loss by six points or less. - The Fish have seen the total soar over in nine of their last 12 as a home dog. The verdict: Buffalo's pissed about its last second loss in Cleveland last weekend and knows it has to get out and push the pace here. The Dolphins are riding high after a two-game win streak and Ryan Fitzpatrick and company won't be backing down either. This one could go OVER by half time! Chicago Bears +6 1/2 @ LA Rams 8:20 EST RICKY'S 10* SUNDAY NIGHT ATS 'BLOOD-BATH!' | |||||||

11-14-19 | Steelers +3 v. Browns | Top | 7-21 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 34 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yes the Browns REALLY need this game to stay alive in the playoff hunt. But guess what? The Steelers REALLY need this game to stay alive in the playoff hunt as well. Both "Faker" Mayfield of the Browns and Mason Rudolph of the Steelers have been pretty bad this year, so I'm classifying these pivots as a "wash" today. But Pittsburgh's defense has been tremendous during its four game win streak and I believe it'll be the difference maker tonight as well. Ever since the Steelers acquired Minkah Fitzpatrick, the defense has been "lights out" and I expect that trend to continue here. Key Trends: - Pittsburgh is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 as an underdog, including 3-1 ATS this year. - Cleveland is just 2-6 ATS in its last eight as a favorite including only 1-3 ATS this season. The verdict: As stated throughout my analysis, I believe Pittsburgh's defense will step up and win the game here; grab the points! | |||||||
11-11-19 | Seahawks +7 v. 49ers | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 35 h 34 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE MONTH is on the Seattle Seahawks. So far everything has gone perfectly for the 49ers, in that almost every bounce and every close call has gone their way during their perfect 8-0 start. But they certainly didn't look like "World beaters" in their 28-25 win over Arizona last weekend. Seattle hasn't been perfect, but it's been damn close this year. And to me, it only appears as if Russell Wilson and company are only getting better. On both sides of the ball. San Francisco is starting to show signs of fatigue and teams appear to be "figuring them out." And now they face Wilson, who has 22 TD's and only one INT. Key Trends: - Seattle is 4-0 ATS in its last four road game vs. teams with winning SU home records. - San Francisco is 4-8 ATS in its last 12 as a favorite, including a money-burning 3-3 ATS this season. The verdict: I think the Hawks' veteran experience in this contest could in fact help in posting an outright upset. That said, let's grab the points in what appears to be a very highly competitive matchup! | |||||||
11-10-19 | Vikings v. Cowboys OVER 48 | Top | 28-24 | Win | 100 | 34 h 12 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the OVER Vikes/Boys. I think this is a great "situational spot bet" on the total. These two teams absolutely dominate in stopping the run, so as such I'm fully expecting this to be a "shootout" at the OK Corral on Sunday night! The Vikes enter off a 26-23 loss to Kansas City and they can't afford to take the foot off the gas obviously. Minnesota QB Kirk Cousins was a bright spot in defeat, going for three TD's and 222 passing yards. The Cowboys are rolling right now though and there's no reason not to think that they can't keep the momentum trending in that direction. In last week's 37-18 win over the Giants, Dallas' QB Dak Prescott had three TD's. Key Trends: - Minnesota has seen the total go over the number in its last two after two or more straight losses vs. the spread. - Dallas has seen the total eclipse the posted number in nine of its last 12 home games as the favorite. The verdict: With each offense focussed on airing it out, I do indeed expect this one to fly over sooner, rather than later! | |||||||
11-10-19 | Chiefs v. Titans +6 | Top | 32-35 | Win | 100 | 27 h 60 m | Show |
My 10* U OF THE U is on the Tennessee Titans. It's do or die essentially for the Titans this week as they look to move back to .500. Titans' backup QB Ryan Tannehill is 2-1 in his three starts with a 99.7 passer rating. Patrick Mahomes could get the start for the Chiefs here. Then again, maybe he won't and backup Matt Moore will get the nod. Moore is 1-1 with a 100.9 passer rating so far in filling in for the injured Mahomes. The uncertainty surrounding the pivot position, whether Mahomes does in fact get the call here, isn't doing the visiting side any favors in my opinion. KC is dealing with significant injuries to its defense as well, with CB Kendall Fuller and DE's Frank Clark and Alex Okafor all listed as questionable. Key Trends: - The Titans are 5-1 ATS the last six in this series. - KC is a poor 3-7-1 ATS in its last 11 following a SU victory. The verdict: I like Ryan Tannehill at home to give the Chiefs everything they can handle. The public and the books are sleeping on Tannehill and how good he's playing right now; grab the points! | |||||||
11-07-19 | Chargers v. Raiders +1.5 | Top | 24-26 | Win | 100 | 55 h 28 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Oakland Raiders. The Chargers and Raiders are both desperately in need of a victory here. LA has won back-to-back games over the Bears and Packers, while Oakland is coming off a pivotal win over the Lions, keeping them in second place in the division. Oakland's defense and especially its secondary has been suspect this year, but Derek Carr and the offense has been much better than expected. TE Darren Waller and RB Josh Jacobs have both been great and I think LA's defense is going to struggle here to contain them. Green Bay's offense looked horrible last week, but it did in Week 1 as well vs. the impotent Bears. I'm not convinced that LA's defensive numbers over the last two games are completely indicative of how the unit will perform moving forward. And on the short week, I absolutely believe this one favors the home side. Key Trends: - LA is 0-4 ATS in its last four off an upset win by 14 points or more as an underdog. - Oakland is a perfect 3-0 ATS in its last three a home dog of three points or less. The verdict: I think the Raiders' defense does just enough and I look for Carr to continue to progress with the dynamic young pieces around him; play on Oakland! | |||||||
11-04-19 | Cowboys v. Giants OVER 48 | Top | 37-18 | Win | 100 | 60 h 9 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE is on the OVER Cowboys/Giants. The Giants are 2-6, but Daniel Jones and the home side won't be rolling over this weekend after falling 31-26 to the Lions in their last game. Dallas destroyed the Eagles 37-10 in Week 7 and they've had their bye week off to prepare for this matchup. Key Trends: - The Giants have allowed 121 points so far this year. - Dallas has seen the total go over in its last two following its bye week. The verdict: In Week 1 the Cowboys crushed New York 35-17. Look for the home side to play with pride and to make Dallas work for this "W." When you take into account all of the above factors, I'm playing the over! | |||||||
11-03-19 | Lions v. Raiders UNDER 51 | Top | 24-31 | Loss | -115 | 121 h 57 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH is on the UNDER Lions/Raiders. Oakland is 3-4 and it's lost two straight. Oakland catches a break here though this weekend facing this "on again, off again" Lions offense. Detroit broke a three-game slide with a 31-26 win over the Giants. The Lions defense has been shaky the last few weeks as well, but the unit also catches a break facing this Raiders' offense which averages just 21 PPG (the Lions average 25.7). Key Trends: - Detroit has seen the total go under in its last two after playing a two-game home stand. - Oakland has seen the total dip below the posted number in nine of its last 11 when the total is greater than or equal to 49.5. The verdict: The conditions, the situation and the trends/numbers are all point to the "under" as the correct call here in my opinion! | |||||||
11-03-19 | Jets -3 v. Dolphins | Top | 18-26 | Loss | -120 | 30 h 34 m | Show |
My 10* TOILET BOWL is on the New York Jets. Miami only averages 11 PPG, while New York averages 11.1. The Dolphins though have the worst defense in the league, allowing an average of 34 PPG. Miami got out to a decent start vs. the Steelers last weekend, but then it got blown out in the end. Miami QB Ryan Fitzpatrick committed four fumbles last weekend. Key Trends: - New York is 4-1 ATS in its last five after allowing 25 points or more in two straight games. - Miami is just 7-12 ATS in its last 19 after a loss by ten points or more. The verdict: Jets' QB Sam Darnold won AFC player of the week in New York's only victory this year and now facing the leagues worst defensive unit, I believe he'll be the difference maker in the end; lay the short points! | |||||||
10-31-19 | 49ers v. Cardinals UNDER 44.5 | Top | 28-25 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 28 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK is on the under 49ers/Cards. Arizona enters off a tough loss against the Saints and it's now 3-4. San Francisco is 7-0 and it'll be trying to not get caught looking past the Cards to its big matchup vs. the Seahawks next weekend. Arizona had won three straight until last week's setback. Cards' rookie Kyler Murray though is going to now face the NFC's top defensive unit on a short week and I believe he'll struggle. The 49ers have been blowing teams out this year, but I also think that the short amount of time to prepare will be detrimental to the visitors offense as well. Key Trends: - San Fran has seen the total go under in ten of its last 15 after playing a game at home (including in both such instances this year.) - Arizona has seen the total dip under in 19 of its last 30 vs. the conference. The verdict: Look for this divisional battle to fall well below the posted number once it's all said and done! | |||||||
10-28-19 | Dolphins v. Steelers -14 | Top | 14-27 | Loss | -102 | 37 h 51 m | Show |
My 10* CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Dolphins are 0-6 and they have nothing to play for. They almost won last week vs. the Bills, but after that setback and once again making a switch at QB to Ryan Fitzpatrick again, I simply can't see the visiting side putting up any sort of fight whatsoever this evening. The Steelers are coming off their bye-week, which couldn't have come at a more opportune time for QB Mason Rudolph, who was dealing with concussion like symptoms. Look for the home side to lean heavily on dynamic RB James Conner again as the offense looks to limit mistakes and control the game. Key Trends: - Miami is just 5-12 ATS in its last 17 as a road dog. - Pittsburgh is 3-1 ATS in its last four MNF games. The verdict: I look for the above scenario to play out this evening; lay the points! | |||||||
10-27-19 | Browns v. Patriots OVER 45.5 | Top | 13-27 | Loss | -106 | 123 h 37 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL U OF THE U is on the OVER Browns/Pats. This is a big game for the Browns. Not so much for the undefeated defending champs. The Patriots love beating up on the Browns whenever they can, but Cleveland is in dire need of a victory and it enters off its bye week. I simply can't see the Browns sitting back and looking for the Pats to make the first mistake. Cleveland has to be aggressive from start to finish in this one if it has any hopes of pulling of an upset. Both teams sport awesome defenses, but the overall situation in my opinion points more to a "shootout," than a "chess match." Key Trends: - The Browns have seen the total eclipse the posted number in their last three after having lost three of their last four games. - The Patriots have seen the total go over the number in six of their last nine as a home favorite in the 7.5 to 14 points range. The verdict: Taking into account the situational and trend based factors above, I'm definitely on the over in this one! | |||||||
10-27-19 | Panthers +6 v. 49ers | Top | 13-51 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 17 m | Show |
My 10* CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the Carolina Panthers. Carolina is 4-2 and it's coming out of its bye week hungry for a victory and to give the 6-0 49ers their first loss of the season. Carolina has won four straight with rookie pivot Kyle Allen under center. San Francisco has averaged 172 yards per game in the early going and its defense has been tremendous. Carolina averages 27 PPG and it concedes 22. San Fran averages 26 PPG and it allows only ten. Key Trends: - Carolina is 8-4 ATS in its last 12 as a road dog (including 2-0 ATS this season.) - San Francisco is 3-7 ATS in its last ten as a favorite, including a money-burning 2-2 ATS this year. The verdict: Yes the 49ers sport better seasonal averages, but Carolina's early numbers are skewed with Newton having played the first two games. Carolina comes in rested and red hot and while I wouldn't be surprised by an outright victory, in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can! | |||||||
10-27-19 | Eagles v. Bills | Top | 31-13 | Loss | -125 | 119 h 13 m | Show |
My 8* SMASH-JOB is on the Buffalo Bills. The Bills offense has been "good enough" this year, but their defense has been exceptional. Overall Buffalo averages only 20.2 PPG, but it concedes just 15.2. Buffalo' QB Josh Allen had two TD's vs. the Dolphins last weekend. The Eagles are down and out in my opinion after their 37-10 loss to the Cowboys. They aren't coming to a friendly place to face a team that's going to "look past" them either. After years of missing the playoffs, the Bills are on a mission this season. Besides, Eagles' QB Carson Wentz has looked horrible this year and he continues to suffer from a poor running game and weak offensive line. Key Trends: - Buffalo has scored 121 points so far this year and it's allowed an AFC low 91 against. - The Eagles are a poor 1-4 ATS this year following an ATS loss. The verdict: I think the home side can smell the blood in the water and I look for it to deliver the knock out blow to Philadelphia's season this weekend; lay the short points! | |||||||
10-24-19 | Redskins v. Vikings UNDER 42 | Top | 9-19 | Win | 100 | 58 h 14 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK is on the UNDER Skins/Vikings. Washington isn't going to be playing in the postseason after its terrible start. It's looked better since firing Jay Gruden though, earning a win over the hapless Dolphins, before then going down to the wire in an extremely defensive affair, but eventual loss to the 49ers last weekend. On the short week, I think it'll be the Redskins' defensive unit which is once again the main story line for Washington this week (note that the Skins will be extra motivated defensively as well here facing ex teammate Kirk Cousins.) The Vikes are surging and should have no problem controlling this contest in all facets. And with upcoming tough road games in at KC and Dallas, there's no reason to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish either. Key Trends: - Washington has seen the total go under the number in 12 of its last 18 following a loss. - Minnesota has seen the total dip under in three of its last four after scoring 30 points or more in its last game. The verdict: This one has defensive battle written all over it; play the under! | |||||||
10-21-19 | Patriots -9.5 v. Jets | Top | 33-0 | Win | 100 | 59 h 30 m | Show |
My 10* CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the New England Patriots. I don't think the Patriots "look past" the Jets on Monday Night Football. In fact, I think Tom Brady and company are planning something big this evening. As good as Brady is though right now, note that it's been his defense which has gotten the job done this season, allowing only 234.7 YPG total. Key Trends: - The Jets offensive line has conceded 25 sacks so far this year. - The Patriots are avearging four sacks per game. The verdict: New York is a better football team with Sam Darnold under center as evidenced by last week's upset win over the inconsistent Cowboys. However, Darnold faces what is shaping up to be one of the best defenses in the history of the NFL; expect a lop-sided destruction and lay the points with confidence! | |||||||
10-20-19 | Eagles v. Cowboys UNDER 49 | Top | 10-37 | Win | 100 | 54 h 24 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL CLASH OF THE TITANS is the under Eagles/Cowboys. They say defense wins championships. These teams are both filled with plenty of offensive talent, but it's going to be the one which gets the job done defensively today that wins this one in my opinion. It could not get any bigger for these 3-3 divisional foes. Neither will want to make a mistake here and I expect each to "control" the ball while on offense. Key Trends: - Philadelphia has seen the total go under the number in its last three road games when the total is greater than or equal to 49. - Dallas has seen the total dip under the number in six of its last eight off a non-conference contest. The verdict: This one has defensive, low-scoring battle written all over it; play the under! | |||||||
10-20-19 | Saints v. Bears -3.5 | Top | 36-25 | Loss | -110 | 151 h 3 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE YEAR is on the Chicago Bears. All good things have to come to an end eventually. The Saints are 5-1, but I think they're going to take a step back here in this tough venue. It's difficult to win and cover on the road in the NFL and after last week's 13-6 victory at Jacksonville, I believe the Saints will in fact finally have their letdown here. Chicago had won three straight before a 24-21 loss to the Raiders in London two weeks ago. But with a week off to prepare and focus, I look for the home side to take advantage. Key Trends: - Chicago has one of the best defenses in the league, allowing 83 rushing yards and 229.2 passing yards with 17 sacks and four INT's this year. The verdict: Teddy Bridgewater has filled in admirably for Drew Brees to this point, but after he falters this weekend, look for New Orleans to use the setback as the stage to re-introduce their super start veteran pivot; this one has ATS blowout written all over it! | |||||||
10-17-19 | Chiefs v. Broncos UNDER 48.5 | Top | 30-6 | Win | 100 | 28 h 16 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL BLOWOUT is on the under Chiefs/Broncos. Kansas City has dropped back to back home games, suddenly looking poor on both sides of the ball. The defense has been especially atrocious, but the unit catches a break here facing Joe Flacco and the Broncos' run first offense. Flacco has been better of Denver's last two games (both Broncos wins after starting the year 0-3), but it's been the Denver defense which has been the reason for the big turnaround. Mahomes is dealing with an injured ankle right now and he's getting little support from his run game, which is averaging only 87 YPG. KC has to establish the run in the thin air of Denver tonight to alleviate the pressure of Mahomes as well. This one has lower-scoring "under" written all over it in my opinion. Key Trends: - The Chiefs have seen the total dip under the number in six of their last seven after having lost two of their last three games. - The Broncos have seen the total dip under in three of their last four home games as an underdog of three points or less. The verdict: On the short week, I believe the defenses become the main story line in tomorrow's summaries; play the under! | |||||||
10-14-19 | Lions v. Packers UNDER 45.5 | Top | 22-23 | Win | 100 | 35 h 28 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL MASSACRE is on the under Lions/Packers. Detroit is 2-1-1 and it's been its lights out defensive play which has been the difference for it so far this year. Lions' QB Matt Stafford and the offense has been acceptable, but clearly it's been Detroit's defense which has been the difference maker for the team in the early going. The Lions have already faced some eltie QB's this year, including Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz and Patrick Mahomes and they've for the most part shut down all three (including holding Mahomes to no TD's.) Green Bay's offense has been decent as well, but it's been the Packers' defense which has "stolen the show" as well this season. Key Trends: - WR Davantae Adams is out for the Packers. - Detroit has seen the total go under the number in six of its last eight after allowing 30 points or more in its last game. The verdict: I look for these top rated defenses to take over this one; this number is high, play the under! | |||||||
10-13-19 | Seahawks v. Browns +1.5 | Top | 32-28 | Loss | -101 | 119 h 38 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Cleveland Browns. For this pick I'm looking at it from an overall situational stand point and in my opinion, this one simply means "more" to the home side. The Browns are off a terrible showing on Monday Night Football vs. the 49ers and they'll be looking to move back to .500 with a small upset at home here. The Hawks on the other hand have to travel across country for an early afternoon non-conference contest, after their thrilling win at home over division rival LA. I'm not convinced that Seattle really does have the "better" team on paper. The Browns issues mostly revolve around themselves shooting themselves in the foot. I expect a much better effort at home from Cleveland and I do indeed feel this also sets up as a classic letdown spot for the visitors. Key Trends: - Seattle is just 5-6 ATS in its last 11 after two more consecutive victories. - Cleveland is 8-2 ATS in its last ten after scoring 14 points or less in its previous game. The verdict: I expect Baker Mayfield and Nick Chubb to deliver the goods on their home field; grab the point/s! | |||||||
10-13-19 | Saints v. Jaguars UNDER 44.5 | Top | 13-6 | Win | 100 | 119 h 36 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL BIG TIGER is on the UNDER Saints/Jags. This is a big contest and I believe it'll be the defensive units which become the main story lines in tomorrow's summaries. Teddy Bridgewater has done a great job filling in for Drew Brees, winning three straight, but I think he'll have his hands full here in this difficult road venue. Garnder Minshew has also filled in admirably in a backups role for the Jags, winning two of his first four starts. Key Trends: - The Saints average and concede 23 PPG. - The Jags average 22 points and they allow 23. The verdict: I can't see the home side wanting to turn this one into a "shootout" with the high-flying Saints. Instead, I look for the home side to try and control this one and limit mistakes while on offense. This one has low-scoring "under" written all over it! | |||||||
10-10-19 | Giants v. Patriots OVER 42.5 | Top | 14-35 | Win | 100 | 60 h 25 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK is on the OVER Giant's Patriots. The Patriots' defense leads the league in almost every statistical category, but New England has yet to face a top tier offensive unit yet. And once again, it won't have to on Thursday night either, as New York comes to town off a listless 28-10 home loss to Minnesota. New York QB Daniel Jones has 760 yards passing with four TD's and three INT's. Jones and company had won two straight previous to that and clearly the rookie will be given the "green light" to try and pull off the upset today. The Giants defense has been decent to this point, but clearly this is a difficult task matching up against Tom Brady in peak form and on his own field. Key Trends: - New York has seen the total go over the number in seven of its last ten after scroing 14 points or less in its previous game. - New England has seen the total soar over in interestingly three of its last four off a road blowout win by 21 points or more. The verdict: So far the Pats have seen the O/U go 1-4 this year. The Giants have seen the O/U go 2-3, but with both "overs" occurring on the road. With nothing to lose, I believe the visitors push the pace from start to finish; play the over! | |||||||
10-07-19 | Browns v. 49ers OVER 46.5 | Top | 3-31 | Loss | -110 | 36 h 34 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE is on the OVER Browns/49ers Cleveland started off the year with a blowout loss at home to the Titans. The Browns offense was out of sync and it had to play from behind the whole game. They also committed well over 100 yards in penalties. Last week Baker Mayfield and company destroyed the Ravens 40-25 though and now the Browns' offense is starting to fire on all cylinders. RB Nick Chubb had three rushing TD's and Mayfield had over 350 yards passing. The 49ers enter at 3-0 after having last week off. Previous to that they destroyed the Steelers at home. Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Fran offense is also firing on all cylinders. From a situational stand point, I do absolutely believe that this one sets up as a high-scoring "shootout." Key Trends: - Cleveland has seen the total go over the number in three of its last four off an upset win as an underdog. - San Francisco has seen the total soar over in four of its last five as a home favorite of seven points or less. The verdict: I do expect these two young QB's to push the pace from start to finish. This is a big game for both teams and I'm expecting a classic "shootout" on PRIME TIME! | |||||||
10-06-19 | Colts +12 v. Chiefs | Top | 19-13 | Win | 100 | 124 h 35 m | Show |
My 10* CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts had a letdown last week, falling at home to the lowly Raiders. Indianapolis and Jacoby Brissett though have been solid and competitive this season, after not many gave them hope after starting QB Andrew Luck retired at the start of the campaign. Clearly Indianapolis got caught “looking ahead” to this difficult matchup. Kansas City is 4-0, but it had to come from behind on the road to beat the Lions 34-30 last weekend. Patrick Mahomes is willing his team to victory, but the Chiefs’ defense has been terrible overall. I think Brissett and the Colts can keep this one competitive down the stretch. Key Trends: - The Colts are 4-1 ATS in their last five on the road. - The Chiefs are interestingly only 2-7 ATS in their last nine at home vs. Indianapolis. The verdict: The Colts upset the Titans 19-17 in Nashville in Week 2, so the team knows how to compete on the road. No outright, but closer than expected; grab the points! | |||||||
10-06-19 | Patriots v. Redskins OVER 43.5 | Top | 33-7 | Loss | -107 | 118 h 49 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH is on the over Pats/Skins. Yes New England has the best defense in the league. Statistically speaking anyways. The Patriots haven’t been truly tested by a great offense yet this year though and once again they won’t be this weekend either. That said, the 0-4 Redskins have nothing to lose here and will be given the green light to open up the offense from start to finish. This will of course give ample opportunity for this talented and opportunistic Pats’ defense to score as well. Washington has been poor on both sides of the ball this year, but especially defensively. Note that the Redskins’ defense ranks last in the NFL in third-down conversion prevention. Also note that Washington’s best player Josh Norman is questionable for this one. Key Trends: - NE has seen the total go over the number in four of its last five after allowing 14 points or less in two straight games. - Washington has seen the total go over the number in four of its last five after failing to cover the spread in three out of its last four games. The verdict: Colt McCoy broke his leg on the first play of the National Championship game while he was in College. The Texas alum will be looking to break a leg here as well as he tries to pull of the monumental upset. Tom Brady continues to shine for the Patriots and I expect the veteran to take full advantage of this suspect Skins’ secondary. When you add it all up, this one has high-scoring shootout written all over it; play the over! |
