12-26-21 | Ravens v. Bengals -7 | 21-41 | Win | 100 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Baltimore Ravens in this game on Sunday. This is a very important game to both of these teams because of the playoff implications of this game. These 2 teams are tied for 1st place in their division with the same record so not only will the winner of this game have an advantage with 2 games left to go after, but it could also mean a lot to the whoever wins if these teams end up finishing with the same overall record. The Bengals already beat the Ravens earlier this year so if they win again then they will for sure have the tiebreaker over the Ravens on the chance that there is a tie for 1st at the end. They didn't just beat the Ravens that 1st time though, they destroyed the Ravens on their own home field 41-17 and that was with Lamar Jackson playing. Now Jackson is out for this game with an injury and his team will be on the road in this game. The Bengals haven't looked great in their games lately but their team is pretty healthy for this game and that should play a big part in their win here. Their offense still has their star QB, RB, and WR out there so their ceiling is a lot higher with that potential to have a big game at any moment compared to the Ravens who will be missing their leader and most dynamic player out on the field. The Ravens have lost 3 games in a row but they haven't looked terrible with all of those losses within 2 points. They have lost a few of those games on last minute tying TDs that they have scored but then failed the 2-pt conversion to win the game. The decision making by Harbaugh in these situations have been terrible though and it is going to come back to bite them and if he keeps being this reckless. The Bengals are at home with a much healthier team and they know they can take advantage of the Ravens here and put themselves in a great position to win the division. I think this is a game that all of the Bengals players will get up for. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Bengals. | |||||||
12-26-21 | Lions +7 v. Falcons | Top | 16-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Atlanta Falcons in this game on Sunday. The Lions have been having a very rough season this year being the only winless team through 10 games but now they have 2 wins under their belt and they have looked a lot better in their games lately than at the beginning of the year. The Lions have started to pick up some steam lately with their 2 wins on the year coming in their previous 3 games. Their most recent game was a big win against the Cardinals 30-12 and they looked really good in that game. I think that the Lions can continue that play into this game and they have been bringing the same heart and passion into every game this year already so this team has the fire inside them to win a bunch of games and end their year on a good note. The Falcons are not a good team and they haven't been having a great year either. The Falcons have actually lost 2 of their previous 3 games including their most recent game where they were slaughtered by the 49ers 31-13. The Falcons have lost a few players throughout the year and they know that their playoff hopes have been shot already. The Falcons are just trying to limp to the finish line in these last 3 games but the Lions are the complete opposite. After that terrible start, the Lions are finally looking like a competitive team and I think that their players and their coaches want to win out their year so they have some good building blocks to build on come next year. The Lions have been heating up lately and they have the momentum on their side here. I like the Lions to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 23-14 Lions. | |||||||
12-25-21 | Browns v. Packers -7 | Top | 22-24 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Browns in this game on Saturday. The Packers have looked great all year and they have been gaining steam in their games lately. They just keep winning games and they now possess the number 1 seed in the NFC with the best record. Their offense has looked great and has been putting up 30+ points in 4 games in a row. Their previous game was a win by 1 point over the Ravens but they had won 2 games in a row before that one by 10+ points. The Browns have been dealing with some covid issues lately and they barely had a team to put out against the Raiders last week. They should be getting some starters back here including their QB but Mayfield has been dealing with some other injuries too and he is not even 100% for this game. Their offense has looked really bad lately even with Mayfield playing in the game, they have only scored 20+ points in 1 of their previous 5 games. I think that the Packers have been playing much better lately and Aaron Rodgers is having another great year and is in the conversation for MVP. Rodgers is playing great and I think he will be able to lead his offense well here and pull away against the Browns who have been struggling to win games for weeks now. I think it is going to be tough for the Browns to stop Rodgers here so I like the Packers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 Packers. | |||||||
12-23-21 | 49ers v. Titans +3 | 17-20 | Win | 101 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee Titans. I like the Tennessee Titans to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers in this game on Thursday. The Titans looked a lot better in their previous 2 games with a shut out win over the Jaguars and then a great 1st half performance in their most recent game against the Steelers but they completely collapsed in the 2nd half of that game and ended up losing it. The Titans should be getting much healthier for this game though and I think that is going to play a big part here. Both Julio Jones and AJ Brown are expected to play in this game so that will give a much needed boost to their offense as Tannehill with have some very talented players to throw the ball to. I think that having both of them back is going to be a big factor in this game and make it much tougher for the 49ers defense to stop them. The 49ers have also started to pick up some steam in their games lately but I think that the defense of the Titans will be able to lay the hammer down on this 49ers offense and come up with some big stops. Neither of these teams really have a good running game at the moment so I expect there to be a lot of passing in this game. I think this is going to come down to the defense here and I think the Titans are playing much better at the moment and will be able to slow down the 49ers offense. I like the Titans to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 26-23 Titans. | |||||||
12-21-21 | Seahawks +6.5 v. Rams | 10-20 | Loss | -110 | 80 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Seahawks. I like the Seattle Seahawks to cover the spread against the LA Rams in this game on Tuesday. The Seahawks have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have won 2 games in a row now. Russell Wilson has looked a lot better in their games too ever since suffering that finger injury. They have put 30+ points in their 2 most recent games and their defense has even looked a lot better in those games, they haven't given up 20+ points in 2 of their previous 3 games. The Seahawks have been having a rough year with a losing record and they really don't have a great chance at making the playoffs but they do have a good chance to put a damper on the Rams' hopes of winning the division with a win in this game. A Rams loss pretty much clinches the division for the Cardinals and I don't think the Seahawks are going to just roll over here knowing they still have an impact on the season here. The Rams have also looked a lot better in their games lately winning 2 in a row but 1 of those wins was against the Jaguars which is not impressive at all and the other was against the Cardinals in their most recent game and that was a game that they really played hard in so I'm expecting them to have a let down spot here after playing that tough game on Monday night. Russell Wilson seems to be almost fully back to his old self and as long as he is in the game he gives the Seahawks a chance to win any game as he is a great playmaker. I think he can keep his team hanging around in this game. I like the Seahawks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Rams. | |||||||
12-20-21 | Vikings v. Bears +6.5 | 17-9 | Loss | -110 | 57 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bears. I like the Chicago Bears to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Monday night. The Bears have lost 2 games in a row but their offense has taken a big step with Justin Fields at QB in those games. They have been moving the ball well putting up 22 and then 30 points and I think that he is going to continue to improve here and play another good game. They will be at home here and I think that environment is going to help Fields feel more comfortable and play better while also hurting the Vikings since they are just 2-5 on the road this year. The Vikings haven't really been blowing teams out this year either and they are the team in the NFL who has had the most 1 score games and the most games decided in the last minute of play or on the last drive of the game. They won their most recent game on Prime Time by 8 points over the Steelers but they had a 29-0 lead in that game and managed to blow it since the Steelers had a chance to tie the game with no time left on the clock but the ball was dropped in the end zone or that would just be another close game for them that they could have lost. Kirk Cousins has also been terribly bad in his career on Monday nights and he is just 1-9 in Monday games for his career. I think the Vikings are going to once again play down to their competition here and I like the progress that I have seen in the past weeks from Fields and the Bears offense. This could be a sneaky upset game so I like the Bears to keep this close and cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Bears. | |||||||
12-20-21 | Raiders v. Browns -2 | 16-14 | Loss | -110 | 54 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Browns. I like the Cleveland Browns to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Monday. Both of these teams have covid running through them lately and a lot of star players from both sides are going to miss this game. The Browns will have QB Nick Mullens starting here but he has had some success with the 49ers as a backup in recent years so I think that he will not be terrible in this game and keep them in it with a chance to win it. They will still have Nick Chubb playing and I think that they are going to lean heavily on him to carry the load in this game. The Raiders are not healthy either, Carr is playing in this game but he will be missing 1 of their best weapons in Darren Waller and their running game is not that strong to lean on either. They also have a lot of key defensive players on their covid list and their defense has already looked bad in quite a few games this year with those players playing. I think this is going to be a more boring game since a lot of the star players are out and I think the Browns are going to play well with Mullens at QB and I think their running game is going to win this game for them at home here. With this game being rescheduled to Tuesday there is a chance that some of the starters are back for both teams but either way I think the browns are better and getting their starters back will only strengthen my decision to back them here. I like the Browns to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 20-17 Browns. | |||||||
12-19-21 | Cardinals -12.5 v. Lions | 12-30 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the Detroit Lions in this game on Sunday. The Cardinals just lost in their most recent game on MNF against the Rams, a division rival. They had a chance to clinch their division in that game but they failed as Kyler Murray did not have the best start to that game. I think that the Cardinals are too good to lose 2 games in a row here, especially with that 2nd game being against the 1 win Lions, and I think that they are going to be looking to get back into the win column here and keep moving toward a playoff spot. The Cardinals have 10 wins this year and only 2 of those wins were by less than 10 points. They don't just win their games but they destroy teams in the process and I think they are going to do the same to the Lions here. The Lions have been having a really bad year with just 1 win. They won their 1st game of the season just a few weeks ago but then they lost their very next game by 28 points in Denver. The Lions don't lose all of their games like this and they have played in some really close games that they have lost this year but I think this is going to be another 1 of those games that they get destroyed in. The Cardinals have not just looked good on offense this year but they have looked really good on defense too. I don't think the Lions will be able to move the ball well with the limited options they have over there. The Cardinals have also shown their depth this year with a few wins under backup QB Colt McCoy. I think the Cardinals are too good a team to have this stay a close game. I like the Cardinals to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-14 Cardinals. | |||||||
12-19-21 | Cowboys -10.5 v. Giants | Top | 21-6 | Win | 100 | 26 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Cowboys have been dealing with their own covid situation lately but they have still been winning games with a weaker team and now they have been getting healthier each week and should have most of their weapons on the offensive side back in this game. They have won their previous 2 games by 7+ points but they were blowing teams out weeks ago when they were playing very well and I expect that to start getting back to that as they start their playoff run while getting a lot of starters back. The Giants have looked terrible on offense in their games lately. They have scored 20+ points in just 1 of their previous 3 games but they haven't really done anything great since firing their OC Jason Garrett a few weeks ago. Obviously that was not the issue with this offense and I think they are going to continue to struggle in this game with Mike Glennon as their QB. Glennon has a losing record as a starter in the NFL. I think this is a get right spot for the Cowboys here, they can pretty much wrap up their division with a win here and I expect them to dominate the Giants for 60 minutes here. I like the Cowboys to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-13 Cowboys. | |||||||
12-12-21 | Lions v. Broncos -10 | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 52 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Broncos. I like the Denver Broncos to cover the spread against the Detroit Lions in this game on Sunday. The Broncos have been a very up and down team this year, they can't seem to beat a lot of the good teams but they can beat up on the really bad ones. They lost to the Eagles and the Chiefs by 10+ points but they also beat the Cowboys and the Chargers by 10+ points all in their previous 4 games. The Broncos have looked good in a lot of their games this year though. They have a great defense and they have a lot of weapons on their offense that could do a lot more damage if they had the right QB. Bridgewater has been getting by though and he is making the plays in their games to help them win. The Lions have looked terrible all year and they just got their 1st win of the year last week only 12 games into the season. They played well for most of that game but lost the lead late and had to fight back on the final drive just to score that winning TD with no time left. I think that game took a lot of energy out of them and I'm expecting a big let down for them after that win. They have to play this game in Denver too where the air is thin and it will be a struggle for a lot of their young and new players that don't have experience playing in Denver. The Broncos lost last week so they are going to hungry to bounce back in this game. I like the Broncos to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 33-13 Broncos. | |||||||
12-12-21 | Saints v. Jets +5.5 | 30-9 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Jets. I like the New York Jets to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Sunday. The Jets are going to be at home here and they have looked a lot better at home this year than on the road with 2 of their 3 wins this year coming at home. The defense has also looked better lately and has only given up 30+ points in 1 of their previous 3 games. Zach Wilson is back starting for them and he didn't look great in his last 2 starts but he has been improving in each game and I think that he will look a lot better here. The Saints have their own issues that they are dealing with. They have a lot of injuries to their defense and to their QB too. Taysom Hill is starting in this game but he is dealing with a finger injury and, from what we've seen from Russell Wilson and his finger injury this year, this is something that could drastically affect the way he throws the ball and completes passes. I think that they are going to struggle to score points and move the ball with Hill and his finger injury. Alvin Kamara is returning from injury and should play in this game but he is also banged up and if he plays he will likely still be heavily involved in the offense. He is really the only threat on their offense right now with their QB situation so if the Jets stop him then the Saints shouldn't be able to do much here. I think Wilson is going to have a much better game here and I expect Hill to have a bad game. I like the Jets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 21-17 Jets. | |||||||
12-06-21 | Patriots v. Bills -2.5 | 14-10 | Loss | -122 | 53 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo Bills. I like the Buffalo Bills to cover the spread against the New England Patriots in this game on Monday. The Bills went through a bit of a rough patch but they have started to look a lot better in their games lately. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games and have put up 30+ points in those wins. Their defense has also looked great in their games lately. They have not given up 17+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games either. The Patriots have also looked really good in their games but I think that the Bills are going to outplay them in this game. Both of these teams have great defenses but the Bills have a much better offense than the Patriots do. The Patriots put up a lot of points in their games but a lot of that comes by defensive takeaways and short passing plays, they don't really take big shots down the field. The Bills have a much better offense, they can run the ball well and they can pass the ball well. Josh Allen has a lot more experience playing in the league than the rookie Mac Jones does and I think that is going to help the Bills come away with the win here. The Bills have more experienced players and their roster has a lot more talent on it than the Patriots. I still think that the Bills are the best team in the AFC and I think that they are going to show why they are in this game. I like the Bills to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-21 Bills. | |||||||
12-05-21 | Giants v. Dolphins -6 | Top | 9-20 | Win | 100 | 21 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Dolphins. I like the Miami Dolphins to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Dolphins have been surging lately and have looked really good in their games ripping off 4 wins in a row. They aren't just winning close games either, all 4 of those wins have been by 7+ points. They aren't just beating up on bad teams either, they have beaten the Ravens who lead the AFC and the Panthers who have a great defense. They have put up 20+ points in their previous 3 games and they just put up 33 points on that great defense that the Panthers have just last week. Tua is playing great at the moment and I think that he is going to continue to play great in this game too. The Giants have looked better in their games lately but their offense still doesn't look good and their defense has to keep them in their games. Daniel Jones is making bad decisions on the field and the offense won't be able to run efficiently unless he is at his best. They haven't even put up 14+ points in their previous 2 games. I think that the Dolphins are playing a lot better at the moment and their offense actually looks good in their games. The Giants have been winning some games lately but not with good offensive efforts and they are just barely hanging in those games with their defense and scraping by. I think that the Dolphins are much better and they are going to run away with this game against the Giants. I like the Dolphins to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Dolphins. | |||||||
12-02-21 | Cowboys -4.5 v. Saints | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Thursday. The Cowboys have lost 2 games in a row now and I think that they will be looking to bounce back in this game. Their most recent loss was by 3 points in OT to the Raiders on Thanksgiving in a game that they trailed for most of the time and had to make a comeback in the end. The Cowboys will also be getting healthier for this game and will have key players like Amari Cooper returning to the lineup. I think that their offense will run much better now that they are getting healthier and I think that the Cowboys are going to be angry from their mini slump and looking for a big win in this game. The Saints have not looked good ever since losing their starting QB Winston for the year. They have lost 4 games in a row and have not been able to win a game with Trevor Siemian as the starter. Taysom Hill is going to be the starter in this game but he does not have a lot of experience as a QB in the NFL or even as a starter. I think that the Cowboys defense will be able to shut down Hill and the Saints offense and I am expecting them to struggle in this game. I think the Cowboys are due for a big win here so I like the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-13 Cowboys. | |||||||
11-28-21 | Chargers -2.5 v. Broncos | 13-28 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Denver Broncos in this game on Sunday. The Chargers have looked better lately and their offense finally exploded again in their previous game when they put up 41 points on the Steelers. The Chargers had a big lead in that game and let that lead go late even going down in the game but they were mentally tough enough to calm down and center themselves and then were skilled enough to go out there and execute in crunch time to bring home the win. This is an important game in their division and they could really use this win with the Chiefs looking a lot better in their games lately. I think the Chargers will come to play hard in this game and do whatever it takes to get the win against the Broncos who are easily the worst team in that division. The Broncos have been very up and down this year losing to teams they shouldn't be losing to like the very beaten up Steelers and Browns teams they faced early in the year but then they beat teams that they shouldn't be beating like the Cowboys. Their latest disaster was a 17 point loss at home to the Eagles in their previous game. I think that the Chargers are a lot better than the Eagles and if the Eagles can do that to them on their own home field then I think that the Chargers should destroy them in this spot. I like the Chargers to cover the spread here and get this important win. T.M. Prediction: 38-10 Chargers. | |||||||
11-28-21 | Bucs -3 v. Colts | 38-31 | Win | 100 | 27 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday. The Buccaneers looked a lot better in their previous game against the Giants after losing 2 in a row right before that. They put up 30 points on the Giants and only gave up 10 points. The Buccaneers have already lost 3 games this year and that needs to stop if they want to find themselves fighting for home advantage and a 1st round bye in the playoffs at the end of the year. I think that they had their little slump and now that it's over I expect them to get back on track and start winning games by a lot again. The Colts look really good at the moment with 3 wins in a row and they just ripped off a big win in Buffalo destroying them 41-15. I think that game took a lot out of them to beat that kind of team in that fashion and to do it on the road. I think they are going to have a let down here and are getting a Buccaneers team that just got a taste of what it's like to win big again and I think that they are going to continue that here. I expect a big performance from Tom Brady and the Bucs so I like the Buccaneers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-27 Buccaneers. | |||||||
11-28-21 | Eagles -3.5 v. Giants | Top | 7-13 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia Eagles. I like the Philadelphia Eagles to cover the spread against the New York Giants in this game on Sunday. The Eagles have started to look really good lately. They have won 3 of their previous 4 games and they have been scoring a ton of points while doing so. They have put up 30+ points in their previous 3 wins and they have been a team that can score a lot of points all year. The Eagles have only scored less than 20 points in 1 game this year and that was back in week 2. Now they look a lot better and Hurts has a lot more experience playing and running the offense than he did back at the beginning of the year. The Giants have looked really bad lately and I think the Eagles are going to put up a ton of points on them in this game. The Giants just gave up 30 points to the Buccaneers and only put up 10 points themselves in their previous game and the offense looked like it did not know what was going on. Daniel Jones was missing throws in that game, ignoring or not seeing wide open players downfield, and the receivers themselves were dropping the ball and weren't always running the right routes in that game. They just fired their OC Jason Garrett but he is not the problem with this offense and I don't think it is going to make much of a difference for them who is calling the plays in this game when the players can't execute them. I think the Eagles are better and will be able to move the ball much better than the Giants can on offense. I like the Eagles to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-16 Eagles. | |||||||
11-25-21 | Raiders v. Cowboys -7.5 | Top | 36-33 | Loss | -102 | 15 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Cowboys. I like the Dallas Cowboys to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Thursday. The Cowboys didn't look good in their loss to the Chiefs last week but that is just 1 bad game among a ton of good ones that they have played in this year. The week before that they beat down on the Falcons 43-3 so I think this is still a very strong offense and team that just had a bad game in their previous 1. The Cowboys will still be missing a few key players on offense due to injuries and covid but I still think they have enough talent with who they have playing to lay a beating on the Raiders. The Raiders have lost 3 games in a row now and their offense hasn't been able to do anything in those games, putting up no more than 16 points in any of those games. They played as well as they could with all of the outside distractions going on but I think that Derek Carr and the team has taken about enough pressure that they can handle and I think that they are going to start cracking under the pressure as a team and fall of the map as the season goes on. The Cowboys will be looking for a bounce back game after a loss to the Chiefs and went better way to bounce back than getting a huge win at home on Thanksgiving for all the fans. I like the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Cowboys. | |||||||
11-25-21 | Bears v. Lions +3 | 16-14 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Chicago Bears in this game on Thursday. Tim Boyle was the starting QB for the Lions in their previous game and he did not look great in that game but his team did stay in that game against the Browns losing 13-10 in the end. The Lions have looked a lot better in their previous 2 games with that 1 loss by 3 points and also a 16-16 tie against the Steelers. The improvements are showing and I don't really think this team is bad enough to go 0-16-1 this year so it is only a matter of time until they win a game. I think this is the perfect spot for them with what has been going on to the Bears in this past week. The Bears have lost 5 games in a row and they have not looked good in most of those games. In their previous game, the fans started to chant "Fire Nagy" from the stands and those chants supposedly even made it to 1 of his son's highschool football games. There is a lot of pressure on Nagy to win this game and to start winning games in general and I think that he is going to crack under all of this pressure. I like the Lions to cover the spread in a possible upset game here. T.M. Prediction: 19-16 Lions. | |||||||
11-22-21 | Giants +11.5 v. Bucs | 10-30 | Loss | -116 | 77 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Giants. I like the New York Giants to cover the spread against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in this game on Monday. The Giants have started to look a lot better in their games lately. They have won 2 games in their previous 3 and even had a chance to win that game that they lost, losing by 3 to the Chiefs in Kansas City. The Giants have gotten a lot healthier in the last few weeks with a lot of their offensive players coming back from injuries. They had their bye week last week too so that gave all their players some extra rest for this game. The Buccaneers have not looked good at all in their previous 2 games losing 2 in a row now. Tom Brady has not been playing well either with 4 interceptions thrown in those 2 games. The Bucs are also dealing with some distractions off the field now and with their struggles on offense already, I think the Giants can come in here and keep this a close game with the way they have been playing lately. I like the Giants to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Buccaneers. | |||||||
11-21-21 | Cowboys v. Chiefs -2.5 | 9-19 | Win | 100 | 49 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Dallas Cowboys in this game on Sunday. The Chiefs looked like they were finally back in their previous games. After struggling on offense for so many games, they finally played well and Mahomes had a great game as they put up 41 points on the Raiders. Even their defense has looked much better in their games lately and has not given up 20+ points in their previous 3 games. The Cowboys have looked really good in their games lately but they have had a much weaker schedule than the Chiefs have had. The Cowboys just blew out the Falcons in their previous game but that is not that impressive since the Falcons were shut out at home on Thursday night to the Patriots with a rookie QB. The Chiefs have a lot more talent on their offense than the Cowboys do and I think that they can outscore them enough to cover the spread here. With Mahomes playing the way he did last week, like the Mahomes we have seen for the past few years, then the Cowboys won't be able to defend him. I like the Chiefs to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-34 Chiefs. | |||||||

T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Sunday. The Bengals looked great at the beginning of the year and they were showing a lot of flashes of the elite team they can be with the players they have on their roster. They lost 2 games in a row before entering their bye week and they have been stewing in those losses for the better part of 2 weeks now. I think they are going to be looking for a big bounce back in this game to get their season back on track. They are getting the Raiders at the perfect time in a great spot for this bounce back too. The Raiders, like the Bengals, had a great start to the year but that has slipped away lately with all of the distractions that the team has had to endure. They have already lost their coach and a few really talented young players and now the pressure is starting to build on Derek Carr. Carr is not a good quarterback when the pressure is on him and he feels like he needs to do everything himself. The Raiders are starting to fall apart and it won't be long until the big slump hits them. I like the Bengals to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-21 Bengals. | |||||||
11-21-21 | Texans +10.5 v. Titans | 22-13 | Win | 100 | 46 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Texans. I like the Houston Texans to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Sunday. The Texans looked a little better in their previous game, only losing by 8 points to the Dolphins. They didn't really look good in that game with 3 interceptions on offense and were only able to put up 9 points in the game. Their defense looked better, only giving up 17 points. That was Tyrod Taylor's 1st game back from an injury that knocked him out earlier in the year. They had their bye week last week and have had 2 weeks to prepare for this game. With Taylor back and coming out of the bye, they should look a lot better on offense this week and move the ball a lot better. They are getting the Titans in a great spot here since they lost their star RB Derrick Henry a few weeks ago and have started to look worse and worse each week in their games. They have won their 2 games without him but the offense is starting to regress a lot. Ryan Tannehill has not thrown 250+ yards in either of those games and he didn't even get to 200 passing yards in their previous game. I think this is a great spot to take the Texans off the bye against a regressing Titans team that will start to lose steam. I like the Texans to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 24-17 Titans. | |||||||
11-21-21 | Packers -1 v. Vikings | Top | 31-34 | Loss | -102 | 46 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings in this game on Sunday. The Packers have shown that they are going to be a major force in the NFC this year. Their offense has looked great when Aaron Rodgers has been under center for them. Their defense has started to look really good in their games lately too. They have given up 10+ points just 1 time in their previous 4 games. The Vikings are probably feeling good after a win against the Chargers in their previous game but this season has not been going their way this year. They have been up and down in their games and have also been on the wrong end of a few bad beats. Despite everything that has happened to them in their games this year, I still think that they are just a mediocre team that is finding ways to get by and stay above water barely. The Packers have better quality players on their team and they are a Super Bowl caliber team. I like the Packers to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-20 Packers. | |||||||
11-15-21 | Rams -3.5 v. 49ers | 10-31 | Loss | -105 | 57 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers in this game on Monday. The Rams were completely embarrassed in their game last week in primetime as well on Sunday night. Everyone watched them, in a game they were supposed to destroy in, get handled and dominated by the Titans defense losing that game at home by 12 points. They looked really bad in that game and I think they will be looking to bounce back in a big way. They get a 49ers team in a division game that they have to have and the 49ers have looked like junk this year. The Rams have really gone all in too with their recent moves for Von Miller to bolster their defense, and Odell Beckham Jr. to add to the lethal weapons in their passing game. The message that the front office is sending the team is that they are trying to win a Super Bowl now and I expect the team to respond in a big way. The 49ers just lost to the Cardinals who were missing their star WR and had Colt McCoy under center for that game. The Rams are going to be out for blood in this game so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 34-14 Rams. | |||||||
11-14-21 | Chiefs -2.5 v. Raiders | 41-14 | Win | 100 | 33 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Sunday night. The Chiefs have been struggling with their offense lately and haven't looked good in their games. Their division is still wide open though, and they need a big win here to boost themselves in the standings. This game could be their season right here with all of the good teams they have to compete with in the AFC West and I think Mahomes is going to step up in this game and ball out like we haven't really seen him do yet this year. Even though they are struggling, they have been finding ways to win their games with 3 wins in their L4 and they won all of those by 3+ points. The Raiders have looked good in their games this year but it's been in flashes, some games they look great in and others they don't look so good. They have had to deal with a lot of distractions off the field lately and that includes losing a few of their top draft picks. I think the Raiders are going to start falling apart at the seams soon and this is the perfect spot for the Chiefs to catch them for a win here. I like the Chiefs to cover this small spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Chiefs. | |||||||
11-14-21 | Jaguars +10.5 v. Colts | 17-23 | Win | 100 | 25 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jacksonville Jaguars. I like the Jacksonville Jaguars to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday. The Jags have looked much better lately winning 2 of their L3 games that they have played. I think they are going to have a lot of confidence for this game coming off a huge win against the Bills last week. They won that game 9-6 and although their offense did not do a whole lot, their defense really played their heart out and I'm expecting another great performance from them here. The Colts have looked a little shaky on defense lately giving up 30+ points in 2 games in a row now. They even had a 42-10 lead over the Jets last week and they let the Jets come back and score 30 on them with 3rd string QB Josh Johnson under center. This is a division game so it is going to be a close and scrappy game where I think both will try to win the game with their running. I like the Jags to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 24-21 Colts. | |||||||
11-14-21 | Bucs -9.5 v. Washington Football Team | 19-29 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the Washington Football Team in this game on Sunday. The Bucs had their bye week last week and have been sitting on a division loss to the Saints since the week before their bye. They lost that game to the Saints by 9 points and Trevor Semian played a majority of that game at QB for the Saints. I think the Bucs are going to be out for blood in this game and they have had a whole 2 weeks to get ready for this game. Washington is also coming out of their bye week last week but their offense has looked really bad in their games lately. Washington hasn't scored 14+ points in their L3 games. Their defense has looked a little better but still is nothing compared to what we saw from them last year. I think the Bucs are going to be looking for a blow out win to bounce back here and I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Buccaneers. | |||||||
11-07-21 | Chargers -1 v. Eagles | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 29 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Philadelphia Eagles in this game on Sunday. The Chargers were on such a great run before their bye week knocking off the Chiefs, Browns, and the Raiders during that run before it all came to an end against the Ravens. They came out of their bye last week and lost another game against the Patriots where they made some end of the game mistakes which sealed their fate. I think that they are due for a bounce back in this game, they are still a very good team on both offense and defense and they are going to get right in this game. The Eagles looked really good in their last game posting 44 points but that was against the winless Lions who have a real chance to go 0-17 this year. I think there is too much respect for the Eagles when they have shown that they cannot do much to keep up with the big boys until they are already trailing in those games by 14+ points. The Chargers are the better team in every way and I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-21 Chargers. | |||||||
11-07-21 | Texans +6 v. Dolphins | 9-17 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston Texans. I like the Houston Texans to cover the spread against the Miami Dolphins in this game on Sunday. Their offense looked a lot better in their last game as they were able to put up 20+ points on a good Rams defense. I expect their offense to move much better in this game against a much weaker Dolphins defense and with Tyrod Taylor back under center for them. Taylor is a reliable veteran QB and he will be able to lead this offense to some scores here. The Dolphins have looked like a mess on the field, winning their 1st game of the season and then losing 7 games in a row after that. I don't think they should be favored by this many points when their offense only put up 11 points last week. They have lost to some bad teams too like the Falcons and even gave the Jaguars their 1st win of the year, and all of this was in their last 3 games. I think Tyrod Taylor gives the Texans a real chance at winning this game outright so I like the Texans to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Dolphins. | |||||||
11-07-21 | Raiders v. Giants +3.5 | 16-23 | Win | 100 | 25 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Giants. I like the New York Giants to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders in this game on Sunday. The Giants have looked much better in their last 2 games and I think they have a real chance at winning this game at home against the Raiders. Their defense has played great 2 weeks in a row now only giving up 3 points to the Panthers and 20 points to the Chiefs. They not only stopped that great offense but they had a chance to win that game if it wasn't for some end of the game mistakes made by them. The Raiders have had a lot of off the field drama happen to them this year and I think it all has to be building up in a very negative way. First their coach stepped down and they have rallied since then to win their games but now they are faced with another situation in Henry Ruggs who was released from the team due to a DUI incident involving a death. The team has to be very emotional right now and I think the Giants can take advantage here with the way they have been playing. I like the Giants to cover the spread here with all of the off field distractions for the Raiders. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Giants. | |||||||
10-31-21 | Cowboys v. Vikings -3 | 20-16 | Loss | -104 | 17 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Vikings. I like the Minnesota Vikings to cover the spread against the Dallas Cowboys in this game on Sunday. The Vikings have played in a lot of close games this year and if a few things had gone differently in their favor in some of those games they could easily be looking at a 5-1 record this year but instead are 3-3. They have finally picked up some steam heading into their bye week winning 2 games in a row. I expect that their bye week was used to practice finishing their games as they have the potential to be a really good team if they can execute in those big moments of the game. I think they will have some confidence here after holding back Carolina's comeback to win in OT with a TD. The Cowboys also had their bye week and they were really hot going into it. I think that bye may have cooled them off a little and they started to show some cracks in their last game against the Patriots. They let the Patriots stay in that game right to the end and almost lost it having to settle the game in OT and take the win there. I think this could be the point where the Cowboys start to regress a little and I expect the Vikings to start turning the tables on their season as they are not as bad as their record suggests. I like the Vikings here at home to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 28-21 Vikings. | |||||||
10-31-21 | Bucs -4.5 v. Saints | 27-36 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cover the spread against the New Orleans Saints in this game on Sunday. The Bucs have been playing very well lately and have won their last 3 games by 6+ points each. Their offense destroyed the Bears and their great defense by putting up 38 points against them. Their defense flipped the script in that game and only gave up 3 points to the Bears offense. The Bucs defense has played much better in their last 4 games and has only given up 20+ points on 1 occasion during those 4 games and that was a late comeback that they slipped up a bit in. The Saints have been up and down all year and just played a game that they won by only putting up 13 points. That was against the Seahawks who are missing their starting QB and I'm sure that game has a different outcome if Russell Wilson plays in it. The Bucs have some of the best talent in the league on their offense and the Saints are not going to be able to win this game by only putting up 13 points. Seattle also has 1 of the worst defenses in the league so that 13 points just looks pathetic by the Saints. Tom Brady sees the variety of NFC teams who all have just the 1 loss and he knows that they can't afford another loss as it will be too important at the end of the year. I think he has his eyes set on this game and will put on a very good show for everyone here. I like the Bucs to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Buccaneers. | |||||||
10-31-21 | Patriots v. Chargers -4.5 | 27-24 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the New England Patriots in this game on Sunday. The Chargers were on a great 3 game run destroying the team in their path and they played some very good teams during that run, the Chiefs, the Raiders, and the Browns. They had their run ended when they ran into the Ravens right before their bye week and the Ravens laid them out on the field completely. The offense got nothing done in that game putting up just 6 points and gave up 34 to the Ravens. I expect that they used their bye week to go over that game and fix all the mistakes they made on offense and on defense too since they have given up a lot of points in their games lately. The Patriots played a close game with the Cowboys and then destroyed the Jets last week by 40+ points. The Chargers are much better than the teams they faced and I expect the Chargers to come out strong in this game and make up for the way they played against the Ravens. The Chargers have better pieces on their defense and they have a better QB who has a lot more weapons to make plays with than Mac Jones has. I think the patriots are going to struggle against the Chargers here so I like the Chargers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Chargers. | |||||||
10-31-21 | Rams -16 v. Texans | 38-22 | Push | 0 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the Houston Texans in this game on Sunday. The Rams have been putting up 25+ points in their games this year and have a lot of weapons on their team that they can attack you with. Their offense has always been very powerful but now their defense is starting to play much better lately compared to some of their earlier games this season. They have given up less than 20 points in each of their last 3 games in a row. The Texans are really bad this year, after shedding all of their good players over the past couple of years they are really left with nothing. They have only scored 8 points across their last 2 games and have even been shutout 1 time in their last 4. Their offense has not been able to produce anything in their games and with the way that the Rams have been playing on defense lately, I don't think they will be able to do much here either. I think the Rams are going to stunt the Texans offense like what we have seen happen to the Texans in their last few games and I expect the Rams to put up a ton of points in this game. The Rams are much better in every way so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-7 Rams. | |||||||
10-28-21 | Packers +6.5 v. Cardinals | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread against the Arizona Cardinals in this game on Thursday. The Packers are off to a great start this year and they look like a team that is going to be a serious contender this year. Their offense is putting up points in their games with 3+ TDs in most of their games this year. Their defense has been playing very well in their last 2 games holding their opponent to less than 2 TDs in each of those. The Packers will likely be missing Davante Adams in this game due to covid but he does not make up their whole team. They still have Aaron Rodgers at quarterback who is one of the best in the league and he will do what is necessary to help his team move the ball and score. They also have a very good running game in Aaron Jones and I think we are going to see a lot of him in this game. The Packers may be a little thin at wide receiver but Rodgers will be able to make the good throws to whoever to get the job done here. The Cardinals will also be missing some pieces on their defense such as JJ Watt and that will not help them out in this game. The Cardinals usually get off to a slow start in their games and I think that Rodgers and the Packers will take advantage of that if it happens here. This could be a possible preview of the NFC Championship game so I expect it to be really close despite all of the missing players. I think this game is going to come down to whoever has the ball last and will be decided by a field goal. I like the Packers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Packers. | |||||||
10-24-21 | Colts v. 49ers -4 | 30-18 | Loss | -101 | 18 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers. I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts in this game on Sunday night. The 49ers lost 3 games in a row going into their bye week but they did not perform that bad in those games. They lost to the Packers by 2 points making that game really close and then they lost 2 divisional games each by 1 touchdown. They lost to the Seahawks before Russell Wilson got injured and in a game that the Seahawks were desperate to win so they wouldn't fall to 1-3 before facing the Rams on a short week. They also lost their last game before the bye to the Cardinals who might just the be the best team in the NFL with the only undefeated record left and they held the Cardinals to just 17 points, the only game the Cardinals haven't scored 30+ in all year. Their defense played great and the bye week gave some time for some of their injuries to heal up. They will even be getting their starting QB Jimmy Garoppolo back for this game and he has a much better chance of leading this offense with all the time he has spent in SF as their QB. The Colts are not that good this year and their defense really slipped up in blowing a pretty big lead they had over the Ravens late in that game. They only gave up 3 points last week but that was against the Texans who are awful on offense. The 49ers will be prepared for this game after their bye and will have the home crowd on their side. This is their chance to change the narrative and the momentum after losing 3 in a row and I think they get it done here in this game. I like the 49ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 49ers. | |||||||
10-24-21 | Jets v. Patriots -7 | 13-54 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New England Patriots. I like the New England Patriots to cover the spread against the New York Jets in this game on Sunday. The Patriots have played some good games lately and it all started with their Tom Brady reunion when they faced the Bucs 3 weeks ago. They lost that game at home 19-17 but they put up a real good fight in that one and came really close to winning that game in the final 2 minutes. When they played the Texans they got off to a bad start and found themselves in a big hole but they dug their way out and found a way to win that game after being down by double digits late in the game. Fast forward to last week when they lost to the Cowboys in OT but almost stole that game from them in the final 2 minutes. Dallas is very good this year and they kept up in that game causing a lot of trouble for the Cowboys. Now they get the Jets coming to town and have already beat them 25-6 earlier in the season in New Jersey. Their defense played great holding the Jets to just 6 points in their own stadium. The Jets got their first win this year against the Titans and then went to England for their next game losing to a bad Falcons team. They had their bye last week and find themselves on the road again for their first game back from London. The Jets have been getting better each week but the Patriots have also improved a lot from the last time they faced. I expect their defense to play well here and their offense to play even better putting up more points on the Jets than they did last time. I like the Patriots to cover the spread here in a big divisional win for them. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Patriots. | |||||||
10-24-21 | Chiefs -4 v. Titans | 3-27 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Tennessee Titans in this game on Sunday. The Chiefs have struggled out of the gates this year with a very slow start but they started to pick their game up last week. They were down by 3 at halftime against the WFT but they made some adjustments and came out dominating the game from that point on. They outscored Washington 21-0 in the 2nd half of that game holding them to 0 points in that half. Their defense made some big steps in that game and I think that is the turn around spot for them this season. The Chiefs still have a great offense and can put up a ton of points but their defense has been holding them back in their games. I think their defense is going to step up in this game and make some key stops. The Titans have a few injuries at wide receiver, both AJ Brown and Julio Jones are probable to play but they likely won't be at 100% in this game. That narrows the job down a bit for the defense in just stopping Derrick Henry. Henry ran all over the Bills last week but I think the Chiefs will use the tape from that game to find ways on how they can avoid them and stop him. The Titan's entire offense relies on Henry and if he is stopped then they are a much weaker team and won't be able to pull off a comeback if they go down too many points. The line is not big here so I like the Chiefs to cover the spread in this one and get back to the Chiefs team we have seen the last few years. T.M. Prediction: 41-24 Chiefs. | |||||||
10-17-21 | Chiefs -6.5 v. Washington Football Team | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 36 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. The Chiefs lost to the Bills last week and can likely sense the power shifting in the AFC. They will do what they can here to stop the bleeding and it starts with a big win over a bad Washington team. Washington does not have the best offense run by their QB Taylor Heinicke. What's really alarming for them is their defense though. They were one of the best defenses in the league last season and this year they have one of the worst. The Chiefs have not been performing at their best this season but they are still putting up a lot of points in their games and will be able to do the same here. They put up 42 points on the Eagles in the week before last and at this point, the Eagles and Washington are about par with the way their defenses are running. The Chiefs will be looking for a big bounce back here now that they don't have a winning record this season and sit at the bottom of their division. I expect them to make a big turn around here so I like the Chiefs to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-17 Chiefs. | |||||||
10-17-21 | Rams -8 v. Giants | Top | 38-11 | Win | 100 | 36 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the New York Giants on Sunday. The Rams bounced back after their first loss of the season getting a win over the Seahawks on Thursday night. They have had some extra days of rest for this game and should be well rested for it. The Rams are looking very strong on offense this year with their new QB Matt Stafford. The Giants are not playing well on defense and the Rams will be able to score with ease in this game. Daniel Jones is expected to be back after a scary hit in his last game that caused a concussion. Even if he is back this week, it doesn't matter since all of the weapons on this team are injured. Barkley is out as well as Shepard and Golladay. They also have a few other pass catchers injured for this one. The Giants really have nothing to work with here and Jones can't do it all himself. I think the Giants have no chance here in their current situation so I love the Rams to cover the spread in this spot. T.M. Prediction: 31-10 Rams. | |||||||
10-11-21 | Colts v. Ravens -7 | 25-31 | Loss | -103 | 102 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Ravens. I like the Baltimore Ravens to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday. The Ravens finally showed up on defense in their last game holding the Broncos to just 7 points in that game. They played well in the game before that one as well holding the Lions to just 17 points in that game. The Colts got their 1st win of the season last week against a bad Miami team but they were struggling to put up more than 20 points in their games before that. Carson Wentz is still a Wild Card as he will show up in some games and in others is nowhere to be found. He is also very injury prone so 1 bad hit and he could easily be taken out of the game. The Ravens are a more consistent team with a good defense and an even better QB in Lamar Jackson. He will find ways to put up points with his offense and I think that their defense will shut down the Colts here. I like the Ravens to cover the spread in this game on Monday night. T.M. Prediction: 27-13 Ravens. | |||||||
10-10-21 | 49ers v. Cardinals -5 | Top | 10-17 | Win | 103 | 74 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. The Cardinals are the only undefeated team left in the NFL and I think that it is going to stay that way after this week. The Cardinals have looked really good in all of their games. They have only played in 1 close game this year, winning by 1 point over the Vikings, all of their other wins were by 10+ points. Kyler Murray is really guiding this offense to victory with his amazing play and his ability to keep any broken play alive when he scrambles. The 49ers are in trouble after losing their last 2 games, including 1 against division rival Seattle. They need a win here and are so desperate that they have decided to start rookie QB Trey Lance in this game. Lance may be a great QB but he will need time to adjust to the NFL while Kingsbury and Murray have been doing it for years now and all that hard work is finally starting to show for it. The Cardinals took down the team to beat in their division last week when they beat up on the Rams by 17 points. They will not be stopped by this 49ers team so I like the Cardinals to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Cardinals. | |||||||
10-10-21 | Lions +9.5 v. Vikings | 17-19 | Win | 100 | 70 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Lions. I like the Detroit Lions to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Lions have looked good and have stayed competitive in their games this season in the 1st half, then it all falls apart in the 2nd half. Last week they had a chance to beat the Bears as they made it to the redzone multiple times but had nothing to show for it due to stupid mistakes like a fumbled snap that cost them points on 1 drive. They have had their moments though where they have not looked like a bad team so I expect them to iron out a few more details in practice and play much better in this game. The Vikings have not been having a great year either as they have been struggling in all of their games. They have had 3 close losses and 1 win where they were dominated in the 1st half but turned it around in the 2nd half. This game will feature 2 teams that are struggling to get wins and both will be clawing and scratching for this win here in such an important division game for both. The spread is way too big in this game as the Vikings have not shown that they are able to blow teams out this year. This will be a much closer game as both teams grind it out so I like the Lions to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-23 Vikings. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Ravens v. Broncos | Top | 23-7 | Win | 100 | 40 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Ravens. I like the Baltimore Ravens to cover the spread against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Ravens have responded well after getting upset in Vegas back in week 1. They won their next 2 games and even knocked off the big bad Kansas City Chiefs in the process. They have also played much better teams than the Broncos have this year. The Ravens are 2-1 after beating Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and beating the Lions with Jared Goff. Their 1 loss also came to the Raiders who are undefeated. The Broncos are an undefeated 3-0 but they have beaten the Giants, the Jags, and the Jets who all have a combined record of 0-10 this year. The Ravens have a lot of tricks up their sleeve with Lamar Jackson and they will be able to find holes in the Denver defense. The Broncos are a good team but they haven't proven themselves yet and until they do I will be on the Ravens to get the win and cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Ravens. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Cardinals +4.5 v. Rams | 37-20 | Win | 100 | 39 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. I like the Arizona Cardinals to cover the spread against the LA Rams on Sunday. Both of these teams are undefeated here in what is one of the toughest divisions to play in. The Cardinals have come out flying this season winning all 3 games with a high-flying offense that has scored 30+ points in each of their games so far. Kyler Murray is leading his team to success whether it be a shootout in a close game with the Vikings, a 2nd half come back against the Jags, or just a straight up blow out against the Titans on the road. They are not just winning games but they are doing it in every possible type of game and I think they have the talent on their team to keep it up all year. The Rams have also looked good on both offense and defense, especially in their last game against the Bucs. Even though this is a divisional game, I think it will be a let down for the Rams. They just won a game against the defending Super Bowl champs and they probably put a lot of effort into that game to win it. I think they are going to be caught off guard against a good Cardinals team here in what will be a very close game. I like the Cardinals to keep it close and cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Cardinals. | |||||||
10-03-21 | Titans -6 v. Jets | 24-27 | Loss | -110 | 36 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee Titans. I like the Tennessee Titans to cover the spread against the New York Jets on Sunday. The Titans stumbled in their first game of the year but they have looked much better now winning 2 games in a row. They will be missing some receivers here but between Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill, there is still enough talent on this roster to beat the bad Jets. The Jets put up a big 0 in their game last week in Denver and they have actually digressed as the season has gone on scoring less and less points each week. Luckily, they have hit the bottom and can't possibly score any less points in this game, but that doesn't mean they are going to score enough to win. Even with a weakened offense the Titans are still better than the Jets offense as Zach Wilson is still learning how things work in the NFL. I will take the established team with the veteran quarterback in this game. The Titans will cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 26-13 Titans. | |||||||
09-30-21 | Jaguars v. Bengals -7.5 | 21-24 | Loss | -100 | 37 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday. The Bengals are off to a good start this year with their 2-1 record they are starting their season with a winning record for the first time in a while. They had a big win last week in a divisional game against the Steelers, a game in which they came out as the 14 point victors. Joe Mixon is starting to establish himself more and more in the running game in each of their games thus far, coming off 1 where he had 90 rushing yards. He should have a good game here which will help Joe Burrow complete his play-action passes much more efficiently in this game. The Jags have a new coach and a new QB and so far, they have started their season 0-3. Every game they have lost this season has been by 10+ points, including a game last week against the Cardinals where they had a lead at halftime. They were not able to do anything in the 2nd half and were completely shut out in the 4th quarter of that game. Their inability to finish games is going to be a problem and since Joe Burrow is finally finding ways to win games with his team, I like the Bengals here to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Bengals. | |||||||
09-26-21 | Packers +3.5 v. 49ers | Top | 30-28 | Win | 100 | 103 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers. I like the Green Bay Packers to cover the spread and upset the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. The Packers looked very good against the Lions on Monday night. Their offense was running well throughout that entire game and their defense finally kicked in and started really shutting the Lions down when they needed to in the 2nd half. Aaron Rodgers showed everyone in that game that week 1 was "just 1 game" and that there is still plenty of season left for them to hit their full stride. They scored 35 points while the defense held the Lions to 17, allowing no points in the 2nd half of that game. The 49ers have looked good in their first 2 games as well but have been a little wishy washy. In their first game their offense looked great putting up 41 points on the Lions but their defense allowed them to come back in that game letting the Lions score 33 points. Then last week, the 49ers defense played great as they held the Eagles to 11 points but their offense only managed to put up 17 points themselves. Aaron Rodgers looks like he's ready for the season now and he has a lot of weapons to work with on that offense in both the running game and the passing game. They will be looking to be the best in the NFC this season and that starts here with taking down one of the undefeated teams. I like the Packers to cover the spread here and win the game in an upset. T.M. Prediction: 30-23 Packers. | |||||||
09-26-21 | Bengals v. Steelers -3 | 24-10 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to cover the spread against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The Steelers started their year off strong with an upset win over the Bills in Buffalo but then lost at home to the Raiders in their last game. They will be at home for a 2nd game in a row and they have the Bengals in a divisional battle here. The Steelers will be angry about losing last week in their first home game and they will make sure to not let it happen again here. They still have one of the best defenses in the league and the way the Bengals moved on offense last week, they should be able to stop them in this game. The Bengals lost to the Bears last week 20-17 in a game that they had every opportunity to take. The game was 7-3 up until the 4th quarter when they let the Bears pull away 20-3 before starting to come back. Andy Dalton left injured in that game and their defense was not able to stop the rookie QB Justin Fields. Now they will have a much more seasoned Steelers team on their hands here. Burrow also threw 3 interceptions against the Bears and if he is going to turn the ball over like that in this game then the Steelers defense is going to have a field day with him. I like the Steelers to bounce back at home in this game and get the win and the cover. T.M. Prediction: 23-17 Steelers. | |||||||
09-26-21 | Chargers v. Chiefs -7 | 30-24 | Loss | -104 | 32 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kansas City Chiefs. I like the Kansas City Chiefs to cover the spread against the LA Chargers on Sunday. The Chiefs were handed their first loss of the season last week to the Baltimore Ravens on the road and the stinger is the score as they lost 36-35. They had a chance to win that game with a field goal in the dying seconds of the game but Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumbled the ball away at the worst possible time giving the Ravens the win in an upset. They will be angry from that loss and they will be looking to take it out on the Chargers here as it is a divisional game. Justin Herbert is a good QB but he still has a few more things to learn and he also lacks the weapons that Mahomes and the Chiefs possess. The Chiefs have a very good offense with some of the most talented players in the NFL. The Chargers have some good vets on their team but no where near as good as the Chiefs. Their defense also allowed a ton of yards to the Ravens last week so I expect that problem to get corrected in practice before coming into this game. The game as at Arrowhead with all the Chiefs fans too. I like the Chiefs here to cover in a bounce back win for them. T.M. Prediction: 35-21 Chiefs. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Rams -3.5 v. Colts | 27-24 | Loss | -108 | 34 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The Rams looked good in week 1 with their new quarterback Matthew Stafford. He threw for 300+ yards and had 3 touchdown passes in the game as his team scored 34 points. He also had some really good targets in Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson on the receiving side. The Colts looked disappointing in their game in week 1. They lost at home to the Seahawks and only managed to put up 16 points in the process. Carson Wentz didn't play a bad game but he has no wide receivers to throw the ball to. Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines led the team in both rushing yards and receiving yards. You cannot run an NFL offense like that and it will not go very far if it continues. The Rams have the good QB and the weapons surrounding him in both the running and receiving. The Colts already suffered a big loss at home in week 1 and they will be sufferring from another in week 2. The spread is small here but the Rams will win this game by at least a touchdown. I like the Rams to cover. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 Rams. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Raiders v. Steelers -6 | 26-17 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Steelers. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers to cover the spread against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. The Steelers went on the road in week 1 as an underdog and not only did they cover the spread, they came out of that game with the upset victory and it was in Buffalo. The Bills have a very good team this year on both offense and defense. The Steelers were able to go into Buffalo and hold their good offense to just 16 points. The Steelers themselves have a very good defense. The Raiders also came away with their own upset in week 1 on Monday night football. They were at home for that game though, and Derek Carr threw for 400+ yards in their new stadium. He will not be able to do that here on the road in Pittsburgh against this defense. They will struggle to move the ball all day against this team, possibly the best defense in the NFL right now. Big Ben will find ways to move the ball down the field in this game as the Raiders do not have a great defense. I like the Steelers here at home to get the job done and cover this spread. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Steelers. | |||||||
09-19-21 | Bengals +2.5 v. Bears | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Bengals won their home opener against the Vikings in OT last week. That was a game where the Bengals led for most of the game. Joe Burrow played well throwing for 250+ yards and did not have any interceptions. The Bears lost their first game of the season by 20 in LA against the Rams. They will be at home for this game but it really doesn't matter where they are playing the game, because Andy Dalton is still the starting quarterback. He was awful in the preseason and, although he played a bit better in week 1, he still got nothing going for this offense. I have said it already that this Bears team is going to be a bet against as long as Andy Dalton is still the starter. Justin Fields is a much better player in the game for the team and until the Dalton anchor is lifted, this team will be going no where. The Bears failed to cover an 8.5 point spread last week while the Bengals not only covered the spread, but they came out with an upset win. I like the Bengals in another upset win here in this game. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Bengals. | |||||||
09-16-21 | Giants +3.5 v. Washington Football Team | 29-30 | Win | 100 | 34 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Giants. I like the New York Giants to cover the spread here against the Washington Football Team on Thursday night football. The Giants lost their first game of the season to the Broncos 27-13 at home and they did not establish much of a run game in that one. They have a very good running back on their team in Saquon Barkley and I expect him to have a much better game here. Daniel Jones also played alright throwing for 267 passing yards and 1 touchdown. He also has 3 solid receivers to throw to in Shepard, Slayton, and Golladay. Washington lost their first game of the season to the Chargers 20-16 and they lost their starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick in that game. Taylor Heinicke will be the starter and he played most of the game last week in that loss. He does have some NFL experience but he has been sort of a journeyman throughout his career, never really finding a home for himself. The receiving corps on this team are not the strongest either so he will not have a lot of big playmakers helping him out here putting more pressure on him to make the plays. This game is on Thursday so neither team get a lot of time to prepare and this is a divisional matchup too. This game is very important as the NFC East is wide open and has been for years for anyone to take and just dominate it so I expect this to be a very close game instead of a blowout for one side. I like the Giants to cover here. T.M. Prediction: 23-20 Giants. | |||||||
09-13-21 | Ravens v. Raiders +4.5 | 27-33 | Win | 100 | 102 h 45 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Las Vegas Raiders. I like the Las Vegas Raiders to cover the spread against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. The Raiders looked pretty good in the preseason and they did not have many of their starters on the field. Derek Carr has made some improvements at practice and is looking like a much better quarterback now and I think he will translate that to the game. The Ravens looked good in the preseason but they played teams that were not playing any starters. They will have to travel to Vegas for this game and I think the Raiders will want to put a show on in front of their home fans. Raiders get the cover here. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Ravens. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Bears v. Rams -7.5 | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 78 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Rams. I like the LA Rams to cover the spread against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. The Rams acquired Matt Stafford in a trade during the offseason and they will be eager to test him out in this game. He defintely has some better weapons here in LA than he did in Detroit and he was already a great quarterback over there, a bright spot on a dull team. He should get this eplosive offense moving again especially with Sean McVay calling the plays. The Bears have insisted that Andy Dalton will be the starting quarterback for them in the regular season and he has done nothing but look awful in the preseason. The offense clearly runs better with Justin Fields at the helm and until they make that change the Bears will be a bet aginst team so I like the Rams to cover in a blowout fashion. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Rams. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Vikings v. Bengals +3 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 71 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bengals. I like the Cincinnati Bengals to cover the spread against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The Bengals did not look that bad in the preseason and their starters were not even playing in most of the games. Now they will have Joe Burrow at the helm for week 1 with some good young pieces at receiver and running back that he can work with. The Vikings did not look good at all in the preseason and even though they did not have many starters playing either, it was the defense that looked like it needed some improvement. Joe Burrow is an electric player and now with some NFL experience under his belt, he should be able to have a breakout season. I expect him to come out and make a statement here in their first game of the season at home. The Bengals have a chance to even upset the Vikings in this game so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 24-21 Bengals. | |||||||
09-12-21 | Chargers +1 v. Washington Football Team | 20-16 | Win | 100 | 71 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Chargers. I like the LA Chargers to cover the spread against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. The LA Chargers did not look too good in the preseason but we did not get to see Justin Herbert even hit the field. He will be the starter in week 1 and he had a great season last year. He will continue that great play into this season now that he has some valuable experience as an NFL starter. His team also has a good running game to back him up and he has some veteran wide receivers that can make the big plays in the passing game. The Washington Football Team has a goo defense and some good quarterbacks but they lack some good weapons to throw the ball too. Their running game is also on the weaker side so they will need to play very well in the passing game to move the ball. The Chargers are more well rounded on their offense so I expect them to win this game here on the road. T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Chargers. | |||||||
01-24-21 | Bills v. Chiefs -3 | Top | 24-38 | Win | 100 | 53 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chiefs (10* GAME OF THE YEAR). With Patrick Mahomes playing, I think the home side is going to find a way to get the job done here. These team's met in Week 6 and the Chiefs pulled out the 23-16 victory. I expect a few more points to be scored here, but I do think we'll see an even bigger points discrepancy. The Bills won with their tough defensive play last weekend in a 17-3 victory over the Ravens, but that was on a chilly day at home. Overall Buffalo's defense has been its weak point this year and I think that's finally going to come back to haunt it, as the Chiefs have the offense to keep up with this high-octane Bills' offense. Experience at this level is crucial and the Chiefs and Andy Reid are light years ahead of their counterparts in that regard. I'm banking on Mahomes delivering an MVP performance and putting Allen in his place; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-17-21 | Browns +10.5 v. Chiefs | 17-22 | Win | 100 | 98 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Browns (8* MONEY-MAKER). If you're betting on this game, then you already know the strengths and weaknesses of each of these high-profile teams, things known even by casual NFL fans. The Browns have gone through some adversity with injuries to key players (OBJ) and other COVID related stuff this year. The Browns have a good offense, that revolves around the dominant run game of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Baker Mayfield has been great in limiting mistakes this season. The Chiefs once again eclipsed their season win total (for an eighth straight year), but they've shown signs of weakness already this season, most famously their meltdown at home to the Raiders. The Browns are a lot better than Las Vegas. Andy Reid has had extra time off to prepare, but I think the home side's defense will have its hands full here this afternoon. I expect a competitive battle until the end, so I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-10-21 | Bears v. Saints -10 | 9-21 | Win | 100 | 49 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Saints (8*). How did the Bears even make it into the playoffs? Chicago had a revolving door at QB this year. Chicago lost at home to the Saints in the middle of the season. The Bears are good defensively, but bad on the offensive end. The Saints had to deal with some COVID issues in the latter part of the season, but the main group is ready to go and I expect Brees to lay the hammer down early and often. This is going to get ugly. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-10-21 | Ravens v. Titans +3.5 | 20-13 | Loss | -114 | 46 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Titans (8*). The Titans upset the Ravens in last year's playoffs and they also won in OT against Baltimore back in early November. Baltimore has troubles with this potent offense. Derrick Henry is always a load to slow down, but Tennessee QB Ryan Tannehill is definitely under-rated. The only winning team that Baltimore has beaten though over its current five-game win streak is Cleveland. The Titans are in fact 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 in this series, while Baltimore is just 4-9 ATS in its last 13 after allowing 150 or more yards passing in its last outing. I'm grabbing the points (but not going to be surprised by an outright upset either!) T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-09-21 | Rams v. Seahawks -3 | 30-20 | Loss | -115 | 25 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seahawks (8*). Seattle lost the first game against the Rams, but then it beat LA 20-9 in Week 17 to clinch the NFC West. Seattle is simply the better team here. Granted, the Rams are very good on the defensive side of the ball, but LA's offense just can't be trusted on the road here. The Hawks' defense is without question their weak point, but the unit improved dramatically over the final part of the season. I don't see this one being close at all, so lay the points and expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-09-21 | Colts v. Bills -6 | 24-27 | Loss | -112 | 22 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bills (8*). I really respect the Colts, as Philip Rivers has definitely done much better than I could have predicted. Buffalo has the overall better offense, while the Colts have the better defense. Timing and momentum are important though and the Bills' play on the defensive side of the ball has been a lot better over the last month. I expect the Bills to use home field to their advantage here and to pull away in the fourth quarter. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Seahawks -6.5 v. 49ers | 26-23 | Loss | -112 | 31 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hawks (8*). San Francisco has absolutely nothing to play for here. It can't even really play spoiler, as Seattle has clinched the division and a playoff spot. If the Hawks win and get outside help though, they still have a chance at moving up. Look for the more motivated side to keep the intensity dialed up in Week 17 as it gets ready for the playoffs; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Steelers +10.5 v. Browns | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 28 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Steelers (8*). The Steelers have clinched a spot. The Browns desperately need a win here to qualify, but they're still dealing with COVID issues to several key players. Despite having already locked down a playoff spot, I don't expect Pittsburgh to simply roll over here. In fact, Pittsburgh would love to post a win here, knock the Browns out of contention and keep the momentum rolling into the post-season. Outright is probably not going to happen, but look for this one to be much closer than expected; and grab up those points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Dolphins v. Bills -3 | 26-56 | Win | 100 | 28 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bills (8*). I love the Bills here. Buffalo swept the season series with the Patriots last weekend in Foxborough and it still has a chance to lock down a better spot with a win today. Miami needs a win to qualify, but I think that's asking too much in this difficult road venue for a rookie QB to handle. Note that Ryan Fitzpatrick has been ruled out for this game as well for the visitors, so if Tua struggles, there is no safety net anymore. Look for the Bills improving defense to be the difference here; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Panthers v. Washington Football Team -1.5 | 20-13 | Loss | -115 | 80 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington (9* TRADE-MARK). The Panthers are horrible, I expect them to just go through the motions here today. Carolina has lost its last three games straight and eight of its last nine. Washington though is still in the playoff hunt despite a 6-8 record. The Panthers are only averaging 23.1 points per game this year, while allowing 25.4. Washington on the other hand averages 21.6 PPG, while allowing 21.0. Ron Rivera gets a golden opportuity to stick it to his former team and I look for him to do just that in friendly confines; lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Bengals +8.5 v. Texans | 37-31 | Win | 100 | 77 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bengals (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Two teams with nothing to play for here. Cincy is 3-10-1 and Houston is 4-10. These teams are more evenly matched than what this spread would suggest though, as Houston's defense is truly putrid, ranked 31st overall, and allowing 150.5 rushing yards per game. Look for the Bengals to lean heavily on RB Giovani Bernard this weekend. Houston is a poor 4-9-1 ATS in its last 14 as a favorite as well, while the Bengals are a solid 5-1 ATS in their last six vs. clubs with losing records. No outright straight-up, but look for this one to be a nail-biter (and make sure to grab as many points as you can!) T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Falcons +10.5 v. Chiefs | 14-17 | Win | 100 | 77 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Falcons (9* ANNIHILATION). I'm not going to try and convince you that ATL is a good team that's just suffered some bad beats, and that the Chiefs are in fact overrated, as obviously that's not the case. The Falcons have had issues all year with injuries and it's resulted in another uneven performance this season. The Chiefs are firmly on their way to a 15-1 regular season record, but with the Chargers coming to town to finish off the campaign, I don't expect the home side to really run up the score and "keep the foot on the gas" so to speak. The Chiefs are now already planning for the playoffs. The Falcons and Matt Ryan will continue to play hard and while I'm not calling for a huge upset or anything, this is definitely too many points to be giving up considering the situation; the play is the Falcons! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Dolphins v. Raiders +3 | 26-25 | Win | 100 | 61 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Raiders (8* MONEY-MAKER). Miami hasn't clinched a spot yet, so it needs a win here to keep pace. The Raiders will be eliminated completely from contention today if they don't win though. For me this pick is simple, as it comes down to just one thing. The men under center. Tua or Carr? I trust the veteran in this situation for sure. Yes, the Raiders have many flaws, but when focussed, Las Vegas has played very well, including one of the biggest upsets in NFL history at Arrow Head earlier in the season. Look for Jon Gruden to have something up his sleeve today for Miami's rookie QB, but grab the points just in case! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Vikings v. Saints -6.5 | Top | 33-52 | Win | 100 | 33 h 26 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Saints (10* TRADE-MARK). The Saints have lost three straight, while Minnesota has dropped two in a row. The big difference between these teams heading into Week 16 though is that New Orleans has clinched a playoff spot and still has an opportunity to impove its standings, while the Vikings have been all but eliminated. Where is the motivation going to come from the Vikings today, who let a crucial and late lead slip away in last weekend's crushing loss to division rival Chicago? I like Drew Brees to bounce back from last week's loss to the defending champs and to lay the hammer down from start to finish. A great "common sense" selection; I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 33-21 Saints. | |||||||
12-21-20 | Steelers v. Bengals +13 | Top | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 152 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bengals (10* MONEY-MAKER). The Steelers have lost two in a row. They're coming to town without starting running back James Conner as well, which turns the offense extremely one-dimensional. Big Ben has reached the point of the season where fatigue is a major factor, and without his star RB to keep the Bengals pass rush honest, I think the veteran is going to be in for a long day here. Pittsburgh definitely has zero motivation here to run up the score if it does in fact have a lead, instead it'll be looking to kill the clock and avoid any further injuries. But for Brandon Allen and the Bengals, this is a big game to prove themselves and to try and solidify their job for next season. I love the Bengals here, but I won't call for an outright upset; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 21-17 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
12-20-20 | Browns -4 v. Giants | Top | 20-6 | Win | 100 | 128 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Browns (10* ELITE OF THE ELITE). If the Browns had actually beaten the Ravens last weekend, then I'd likely be going the other way, but the fact that Cleveland lost makes me love the visiting side in this situation. The Browns have no reason to look past the Giants today, as they'll stay in the Big Apple to play the Jets next weekend, before a regular season thriller at home vs. the Steelers. Cleveland has to be looking at the Steelers' recent slide and thinking that it has a golden opportunity here to win these next two games, and take out the Steelers in the finale. If so, and if Pittsburgh continues to struggle the next two games, the Browns have a shot at moving up in the playoff standings. One game at a time. Cleveland's depth on offense and its above par defense are the differences today for me; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Cleveland. | |||||||
12-20-20 | Bucs -5.5 v. Falcons | 31-27 | Loss | -113 | 121 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bucs (9* DIVISIONAL DOMINATOR). The Falcons have lost two straight and I think they'll struggle here vs. this determined Bucs team, which comes in off a momentum-building 26-14 win over the Vikings. Tampa is now in sixth in the NFC standings. Overall the Bucs average 28.5 PPG and they allow 22.6. ATL has lost three of four. The Falcons average 25.2 PPG and they concede 24.8. ATL is also just 1-4 ATS in its last five vs. teams with winning records, while Tampa is 5-1 ATS in its last six road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Expect Tampa to lay the hammer down from start to finish and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Tampa. | |||||||
12-20-20 | Patriots v. Dolphins -2 | 12-22 | Win | 100 | 121 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dolphins (9* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE). They say that revenge is a dish best served cold. The Dolphins lost to the Patriots 21-11 at the start of the season in New England, but with a win today they'll further cement their playoff spot, while also dealing the final nail in the coffin for their rivals' chances at a post-season position. It's a perfect set of situational circumstances working in favor of Miami. Both teams come off losses, although Miam fell in a tight 33-27 setback to the defending champion Chiefs, while the Patriots were annihilated 24-3 at the Rams. Look for Miami's superior play and the big revenge factor to be the difference and lay the points with confidence! T.M. Prediction: 31-11 Miami. | |||||||
12-20-20 | Bears v. Vikings -3 | 33-27 | Loss | -120 | 121 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vikings (8* MONEY-MAKER). It's a must win game for both teams. Divisional contests always mean the most and they almost always mean the most to the home side. Minnesota will be desperate here to bounce back after a 26-14 loss at Tampa Bay last time out. The Vikes won this game 19-13 in Chicago in early November and I believe that behind a big dose of Dalvin Cook, that they'll win by an even bigger margin on Sunday. Chicago managed a 36-7 win over Houston at home last weekend, but note that it's just 1-6 ATS in its last seven after allowing seven or less points, while scoring 30 or more in a SU/ATS victory in its last outing. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Minnesota. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Panthers +10 v. Packers | Top | 16-24 | Win | 100 | 104 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Panthers (10* CASH-COW). Sorry, I'm dealing with power/technical issues due to a severe storm in the Pacific Northwest right now, so I'm not able to properly give my usual extremely detailed analysis today. Carolina comes in off a tough 32-27 home loss to Denver. Carolina didn't give up as well, as it scored 17 points in the fourth quarter in the near come back. Clearly Green Bay is the better team, I just think it'll get caught looking past the Panthers today to its home game vs. the Titans next weekend. Finally note as well that Green Bay is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine after scoring 30 or more points in a SU victory in its last outing. Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-13-20 | Washington Football Team v. 49ers -3 | 23-15 | Loss | -120 | 124 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: 49ers (9* TRADE-MARK). I like Nick Mullens and this hungry 49ers side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. San Fran enters off a 34-24 loss at home to a red hot Buffalo offense. Washington has won three straight, most recently posting a surprising 23-17 win over Pittsburgh as a six-points underdog. In my estimation, this sets up as a letdown spot for the visiting side finally as it travels across the country to play this one. Washington has averaged only 22 PPG and it's allowed only 21.7. San Fran has averaged 23.8 PPG and allowed 24. This is a must win game for the 49ers if they have any hopes of making the playoffs. Note that the 49ers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after allowing 33 or more points in a SU/ATS loss in their last outing; so lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-13-20 | Packers -7.5 v. Lions | 31-24 | Loss | -100 | 124 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Packers (8* DESTROYER). Detroit came from behing to knock off the Bears 34-30 last weekend, but I think it'll have a difficult time here trying to keep pace with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Green Bay's offense has been spectacular, as it averages a league-best 31.6 PPG. The defense has been decent considering as well, conceding 24.9 PPG. Green Bay won the earlier game vs. the Lions by 21 points and I expect a similar or even bigger blowout here. Detroit averages only 23.8 PPG, so last week's big explosion was unexpected. Also note that the Lions concede a poor 29.8 PPG. Finally note that Detroit is a poor 1-4 ATS in its last five at honme, while Green Bay is 5-2 ATS in its last seven against the NFC North. This one has "BLOWOUT" written all over it; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-13-20 | Broncos v. Panthers -3.5 | 32-27 | Loss | -110 | 121 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Panthers (8* MONEY-MAKER). Neither team will be in the playoffs this year. Denver has lost four of five and the Panthers have lost six of seven. Both teams are now looking ahead to next year, but for Carolina, this is an important home game to try and work out some of those issues for next season. I trust Teddy Bridgewater over whoever the Broncos throw out on the field today. I think that Denver goes through the motions today and I look for Bridgewater to take advantage; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-13-20 | Texans v. Bears | 7-36 | Loss | -117 | 121 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Texans (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). For me this comes down to the starting QB's and there's no comparison between DeShaun Watson and Mitchell Trubisky. Chicago has nothing to play for after losing six straight and I expect it to go through the motions this afternoon. Houston is coming off a tight 26-20 loss to a really good Colts team, that's really good against the pass. The Bears' strength this year is on the defensive side of the ball, but this is still a secondary in which Watson can take full advantage of. I give Houston a big nod as well on the defensive side of the ball in this matchup. The Texans got out to a poor start, but they've looked better since a coaching change and getting healthier on the field as well. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-08-20 | Cowboys v. Ravens -7 | 17-34 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baltimore Ravens (10* SPECIAL). I approach my handicapping from many different angels. Sometimes I believe it's necessary to completely dissect a game, looking closely at individual player stats and other information, while other times I feel that a more common sense approach is the best way to handle it. And that's the case here. Dallas is on the ropes and LaMar Jackson and the Ravens will be able to deal the knock out blow. Without Dak Prescott, the Cowboys have no hope of advancing this year and one more loss will pretty much seal their fate. They're coming off a pathetic 41-14 loss at home to Washington and I can't see them mustering any sort of offensive attack here, vs. a Ravens team which concedes just 19.1 PPG. This one has "b-e-a-t-d-o-w-n" written ALL over it! T.M. Prediction: 31-15 Baltimore. | |||||||
12-06-20 | Broncos v. Chiefs -13.5 | Top | 16-22 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Chiefs (10* TRADE-MARK). Denver is 4-7 overall and 1-3 over its last four. Kansas City is 10-1 and while the Chiefs have a tricky game in Miami next weekend, a 15-1 regular-season record is now very possible, with a game at New Orleans after that, followed by home games against Atlanta and the Chargers to finish off. Denver had to have practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton take over at quarterback in last week's 31-3 home loss to , because starter Drew Lock, backup Brett Rypien and practice squad player Blake Bortles were designated as close-contact risks after third-string quarterback Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19. Royce Freeman had 50 yards on eight carries for the Broncos in the loss. Noah Fant caught the only pass for 13 yards. Now, I do expect Denver to have a much better offensive game today with one of their starters back under center, but how could they not? It was an overall disappointment last week that the NFL even allowed that Denver game to be played, but now with little hope at making the playoffs, I think the Broncos will simply go through the motions today. The Chiefs are 10-1 and they're clearly the "better" team in every respect. I don't foresee a letdown here, rather I look for Kansas City to go up early and then to control the clock after that, limit mistakes and injuries and get ready for next week's road contest. This one has "b-l-o-w-o-u-t" written ALL over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-06-20 | Giants v. Seahawks -8.5 | 17-12 | Loss | -110 | 99 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Hawks (9* BLOWOUT PLAY). Russell Wilson was the leading MVP candidate over the first half of the season, but a poor three-game stretch has seen the dynamic pivot fall off of late. Seattle though has "righted the ship" in recent weeks and it's now looking for a third-straight victory here. New York got off to a terrible start, but after three straight wins, the Giants are somehow back in the mix for the division lead in the poor NFC East. The Giants play better at home than on the road though and on this cold and blustery December afternoon in the Pacific Northwest, I believe the visitors are going to finally have a letdown here. Seattle is interestingly 7-1 ATS in its last eight vs. the NFC East, while New York is still only 1-4 ATS in its last five in this series. Look for the Giants to stumble and for the Hawks to soar; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-06-20 | Lions v. Bears -3 | 34-30 | Loss | -108 | 96 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bears (8* ANNIHILATION). The Lions are a mess. Detroit lost 41-25 to Houston last weekend and then it promptly fired head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn. Sometimes doing this has a beneficial effect on players, but other times it does nothing. And that's going to be the case today in my opinion. Chicago won this game all the way back in Week 1, overcoming a 23-6 defecit. The Bears certainly have plenty of issues themselves, as they've lost five straight, most recently a 41-25 setback to the Packers. Chicago has QB Mitch Trubisky back under center this weekend and he was in control in the Week 1 win as well. The Bears have the more talented roster and they're playing at home against a disorganized team which just fired its coach. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-06-20 | Saints -2.5 v. Falcons | 21-16 | Win | 100 | 96 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Saints (8* MONEY-MAKER). No Drew Brees?! No problem! The Saints won their eighth straight game in a row in a 31-3 romp in Denver last weekend and I expect them to continue to dominate here vs. the lowly Falcons, who enter off a rare 43-6 win over Las Vegas last weekend. Julio Jones is questionable for this contest, so that makes the Falcons' offense extremely suspect today. Taysom Hill looks great in this Saints offense and now that he has a couple games under his belt, he's only going to improve moving forward. Note as well that ATL is just 1-5 ATS in its last six in this series, while NO is 23-9 ATS in its last 32 vs. clubs with losing records. The Saints' defense is underrated as well. I'm banking on a blowout, so lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
11-30-20 | Seahawks -4.5 v. Eagles | Top | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 127 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Seahawks (10* MADNE$$). Seattle comes in off a big win over Arizona and I think it'll keep the foot on the gas here in Prime Time in this favorable matchup. Both the Cardinals and the Rams lost yesterday, so with a win today, the Hawks will have a firm grasp on the log-jammed NFC West. Seattle's defense has looked dramatically better of late, last week it held the Cardinals to just 314 yards. The Eagles come in off a 22-17 loss to Cleveland, their second straight setback. Philadelphia is now on the ropes. Who is getting the start today for the Eagles? Whether it's the rookie or Wentz, I can't see either keeping pace with Russell Wilson and this Hawks' offense which has averaged over 31.0 PPG this year. Note as well that Philly is just 3-7 ATS in its last ten at home, while Seattle is 11-4-1 ATS in its last 16 Monday Night Football contests; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 31-19 Seattle. | |||||||
11-29-20 | 49ers +7.5 v. Rams | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 99 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: 49ers (9* BEST OF THE BEST). In a contest which I see coming down to whichever of these hungry sides has its hands on the ball last, I'm going to grab the ample points! San Fran is dangerous. It's also confident, as it beat the Rams 24-16 in Week 6 at home as a 2.5-point underdog. San Fran lost 27-13 at New Orleans in its last game, but it comes in off an important bye-week. These teams play a very similar style. The 49ers have a great secondary, so LA is going to have to run the ball here. I'll stop short in calling for the outright upset, but everything definitely points to "nail-biter." Grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 25-24 LA. | |||||||
11-29-20 | Panthers v. Vikings -4 | 27-28 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Vikings (8* MONEY-MAKER). Carolina is 4-7 after beating the Lions 20-0 on Sunday, but I think it'll have its hands full here today on the road. Teddy Bridgewater is expected to start for Carolina, but RB Christian McCaffrey remains out. Minnesota needs victories too though at 4-6. The Vikes enter off a heart-breaking loss at home to the Cowboys last Saturday, snapping their three-game winning streak. Carolina averages 23.0 PPG and it concedes 24.7, while Minnesota allows 27.8. The Vikings though defensive numbers are skewed somewhat by a couple of shaky games at the start of the season. The Vikes average 26.4 PPG, led by Dalvin Cook with 1,069 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. Both teams are dealing with a few COVID issues, but the situation definitely favors the hungry home side. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 30-21 Minnesota. | |||||||
11-29-20 | Browns -6 v. Jaguars | 27-25 | Loss | -119 | 96 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Browns (8* BLOWOUT). The 7-3 Cleveland Browns are ready to demolish the 1-9 Jacksonville Jaguars. The Browns' high-powered offense has stalled the last few weeks for varying reasons. OBJ was lost about a month ago and that took some time to get over. The run game has gotten healthier for Cleveland as well. Weather was also a factor, as it's been terribly inclement in Cleveland over the last month or so as well. But now this well balanced Browns offense gets the opportunity to play in sunny Jacksonville against a terrible secondary. The Jaguars are simply going through the motions, as they have several players injured or on the COVID list. It's a perfect storm of factors working in favor of the visitors; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 30-21 Cleveland. | |||||||
11-26-20 | Washington Football Team v. Cowboys -2.5 | 41-16 | Loss | -123 | 73 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cowboys (8* MONEY-MAKER). I hear a lot of people saying that there's an overreaction to the Cowboys here after one decent game. But that win over Minnesota was significant. I think the overreaction is the other way for Minnesota and Alex Smith. The Cowboys are continuing to fight hard and that win over the Vikes on the road was very impressive. Andy Dalton looked composed and I think he'll have another big game here in this revenge situation. Dallas plays with revenge here as well. I'm banking on the home side pulling away down the stretch here; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 28-21 Dallas. | |||||||
11-22-20 | Packers +2.5 v. Colts | 31-34 | Loss | -105 | 103 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Packers (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). The Colts defense is better than the Packers, but Green Bay's unit is underrated in my opinion. This one comes down to the two men under center and in my opinion, I can't see Philip Rivers keeping pace with Aaron Rodgers down the stretch. Green Bay has done well in this spot for bettors as well, going 4-1 SU its last five on the road. Indianapolis on the other hand is just 3-7 ATS in its last ten after an ATS victory in which it allowed 20 or less points in. As I said, I think Rogers is the correct call here! T.M. Prediction: 26-25 Green Bay. | |||||||
11-22-20 | Dolphins -3 v. Broncos | 13-20 | Loss | -100 | 103 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dolphins (9* TRADE-MARK). Miami has EVERYTHING to play for today. It is in a neck and neck race with the Bills for the division lead and after five straight wins, I think they'll keep the foot on the gas in this favorable matchup. The Broncos on the other hand are entering off a 37-12 beatdown loss to the Raiders and I have a hard time seeing this struggling team keeping pace with the high-flying Dolphins. Miami averages 27.9 PPG and it concedes just 20.2, while Denver averages only 20.7 PPG, while allowing 28.2. Additionally note that Miami is interestingly 5-0 ATS in its last five on this field, and 4-1 ATS in its last five on the road. Lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Miami. | |||||||
11-22-20 | Steelers v. Jaguars +10.5 | 27-3 | Loss | -120 | 100 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Jaguars (8* UNDERDOG ANNIHILATION). Pittsburgh comes in off a 36-10 win over Cincinnati last weekend to move to 9-0. Do I think that Jacksonville is going to win this contest? No I don't. However, I also expect Pittsburgh to not run up the score in the second half as it prepares for Baltimore at home next Saturday. Jacksonville has lost back-to-back closee games, but Jake Luton has looked decent in his limited time. Maintaining focus is going to be an issue for the visiting, so I'm grabbing the points and expecting a solid cover once it's all said and done! T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Pittsburgh. | |||||||
11-19-20 | Cardinals +3.5 v. Seahawks | Top | 21-28 | Loss | -121 | 37 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona Cardinals. Arizona knocked off Seattle 37-34 at home in overtime as a 3.5 point underdog earlier in the season and I believe it has a legitimate shot at a repeat performance here. Arizona lost 34-31 to Miami two weeks ago, but it bounced back with a big win over Buffalo on Sunday and it's now won four of its last five. Seattle has dropped three of its last four. Arizona averages 29.6 points per game and it allows 23.3. Seattle averages 32.2 PPG, but it concedes a league worst 29.6. The Cards are also 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 as a road underdog, while Seattle is a poor 1-5 ATS In its last six vs. the division. Russell Wilson's early numbers are because of the competition he faced. Look for the "better" team to domiante this one from start to finish and while I do think the outright is possible, let's grab the points in the end! T.M. Prediction: 29-28 Arizona. | |||||||
11-15-20 | Ravens -7 v. Patriots | Top | 17-23 | Loss | -105 | 132 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ravens (10* GAME OF THE YEAR). No upsets here. I believe that LaMar Jackson is going to take it upon himself to decimate Cam Newton on the National stage. The Ravens enter off a big 24-10 win over Indianpolis, while New England barely broke its four-game slide with a 30-27 win over the Jets. Jackson has 12 touchdown passes and three more rushing, with just four interceptions. The Ravens' defense though is about to have a feast here on this suspect Patriots' O-line; note that Baltimore has already posted 24 sacks, four interceptions, and made ten fumble recoveries. Newton has eight rushing TD's and just two through the air. Baltimore's strength on defense though is against the run, so expect Newton to have another long night. Additionally note that NE is just 2-6-1 against the spread in its last nine at home, while Baltimore is 7-2 ATS in its last nine after allowing ten or less points in a SU/ATS victory in its last outing. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout from start to finish! T.M. Prediction: 30-13 Baltimore. | |||||||
11-15-20 | Seahawks +2 v. Rams | 16-23 | Loss | -101 | 128 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Seattle Seahawks (8* DOMINATOR). Seattle has lost two of its last three, but I expect that it's dominant offense will be just too much for the Rams to keep up with as the game comes down the stretch. LA averages only 24.1 PPG, while Seattle averages 34.3 points per game. Seattle has struggled defensively over its last three games, but the unit catches a break facing Jared Goff and this vanilla Rams offense. Seattle is also 7-2 against the spread in its last nine after back-to-back road SU road losses. For all the reasons listed above, grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 28-27 Seattle. | |||||||
11-15-20 | 49ers +10 v. Saints | 13-27 | Loss | -118 | 128 h 2 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: 49ers (8* TOUCHDOWN SPIKE). I'm all about "picking spots" at this time of the year in the NFL and I do definitely think this one sets up great for a 49ers solid cover. San Francisco is on the cusp of elimination and badly needs a victory. That means that we don't have to worry about its determination today. I think that New Orleans though is on the verge of a major letdown today. And that's because the Saints have won six in a row, including a blowout road victory over rival Tampa last weekend. San Fran has its bye week next week and if it can manage to find a way to pull off the upset, it's going to be sitting pretty moving forward. That might not occur, but all signs point to this one being a lot closer than what the oddsmaker would like us to believe; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 27-23 New Orleans. |
