01-01-17 | Browns v. Steelers UNDER 44 | 24-27 | Loss | -110 | 135 h 28 m | Show | |
Locked into the No. 3 seed, the Steelers are likely to sit Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown.  A looming quarterback matchup of Cody Kessler versus Landry Jones, devoid of his top weapons, does not exactly bring visions of a high-scoring game.  These teams combined for only 33 points during their Week 11 matchup.  The Browns rank second-to-last in scoring and yards. Pittsburgh defense has been playing better since getting healthier. The Steelers have held five of their last six opponents to 20 or fewer points.  Cleveland's defense has improved since landing Jamie Collins in a trade with New England. Pittsburgh's Jones is one of the poorer backup quarterbacks in the league.  The weather forecast is calling for better than a 70 percent chance of showers with possible snow.Â

12-31-16 | Kentucky v. Georgia Tech -3 | Top | 18-33 | Win | 100 | 88 h 10 m | Show |
Bowl pedigree can't be underestimated. Georgia Tech and its veteran coach, Paul Johnson, know all about bowl competition. Georgia Tech has been to a bowl during 19 of the last 20 years. Kentucky hasn't been in a bowl game since 2010. The Wildcats are just relieved to received a bowl bid. The Wildcats' season was made when they upset in-state rival Louisville, 41-38. Note, though, Louisville gained 561 yards on the Wildcats rushing for an average of 6.1 yards per carry. SEC teams such as Kentucky don't face triple option offenses such as Georgia Tech's. I don't see the Wildcats being able to stop the Yellow Jackets. Kentucky surrenders more than 31 points per game. Their rush defense ranks 109th and their total defense is 89th allowing more than 442 yards per game.  Georgia Tech ranks in the top 10 in rushing yards averaging 257.4. The Yellow Jackets have come on after a slow start to go 5-1. I like the experience and dual threat ability of Yellow Jackets quarterback Justin Thomas. I like Johnson as a coach. Quarterback and coach are two edges Georgia Tech has going.  Kentucky lost by three points at home to fellow SEC foe Georgia while Georgia Tech defeated the Bulldogs on the road.Â

12-29-16 | Oklahoma State v. Colorado -3 | Top | 38-8 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 12 m | Show |
Playing in a bowl game, especially a minor one such as this, is no big deal for Oklahoma State. This will be the 11th straight year the Cowboys have gone bowling under Mike Gundy.  This game is a big deal for Colorado, though. The Buffaloes suffered during their first five years in the Pac-12 while coach Mike MacIntyre was laying a foundation. Everything came together for the Buffaloes this season as they went 10-3 and captured the Pac-12 South Division.  The Buffaloes were dominated by top-four power Washington in the Pac-12 championship game. Colorado senior quarterback Sefo Liufau suffered an ankle injury early in that game and didn't play well. He'll be fine here and the Buffaloes have huge motivation to erase the stigma of that Pac-12 title game loss and capture their first bowl win since 2004. The Buffaloes will be ready for prime time after getting some tough experience with it during the Pac-12 championship game. That loss and national exposure provided needed big-game experience for them.  Colorado has covered in 11 of its last 14 games and is 7-2 ATS the past nine times when taking on above .500 opponents.  Incentive isn't enough, though, to just go with Colorado. I see the Buffaloes having key matchup edges. The Buffaloes and star running back Phillip Lindsay should pile up yards rushing against the Cowboys, who give up an average of 204.4 yards on the ground per game. Liufau is a good running quarterback, too, and doesn't turn the ball over.  Oklahoma State has a balanced offense. Colorado, however, has proven itself against elite running backs holding both Stanford's Christian McCaffrey and Utah's Joe Williams to less than 100 yards rushing. The Buffaloes also have the 13th best pass defense giving up just 182.2 yards through the air so Mason Rudolph won't have it easy. Oklahoma State hasn't faced a pass defense this good all season.Â

12-28-16 | Northwestern +5 v. Pittsburgh | Top | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 13 h 31 m | Show |
While I respect Pittsburgh's offense its defense isn't good enough to keep Northwestern from pulling the upset.  Northwestern has excellent skill position talent - including running back Justin Jackson - that can take full advantage of a Pittsburgh defense that allows 35.6 points a game, ranks 97th in yards allowed and 127th in pass defense.  Jackson has nearly 4,000 career rushing yards. Northwestern quarterback Clayton Thorson improved immensely as the season progressed finishing with an 18-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio during his last eight games.  Pittsburgh has excellent skill position players, too, headed by its star running back, James Connor. However, the Panthers are going up against a much stronger defense as the Wildcats hold opponents to just 22.1 points a game.  The Panthers also have to deal with the distraction of their offensive coordinator, Matt Canada, announcing he was leaving to become offensive coordinator at LSU. Note, too, that the Panthers have failed to cover in their last six non-conference games. The Panthers also haven't defeated a Power 5 team in the postseason since 2010.

12-27-16 | Washington State -10 v. Minnesota | Top | 12-17 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 0 m | Show |
Minnesota lacks the quarterback, pass defense and strength of schedule to stay within single digits of Washington State.  Washington State's Luke Falk is one of the top quarterbacks in the country. He's completed 71 percent of his passes for 4,204 yards with a 37-to-10 touchdown to interception ratio. The Cougars also have a decent ground attack and their best defense in the five years Mike Leach has been their coach.  Falk has a versatile group of receivers with 10 difference players catching at least one touchdown pass. The Cougars rank No. 2 in passing yards per game.  Minnesota ranks 70th in pass defense. The Gophers also had the second-worst pass defense in the Big Ten, a conference not known for their quarterbacks. Making matters worse for the Gophers is that several of their defensive backs, including two starters, are among 10 players suspended for the game.  The Gophers missed practices by threatening to boycott the game in protest of the suspensions, which stemmed from an incident in an off-campus apartment back in early September. The threaten boycott never materialized. The Gophers don't have the speed nor talent to defend against Washington State's high-powered offense. Minnesota hasn't faced this type of fast-tempo style playing a weak schedule being in the Big Ten.  The Big Ten has been terrible against the spread in bowl play going 32-45 ATS, including 2-5 ATS last season and 0-1 ATS this season with Maryland losing straight-up as a short favorite against Boston College. Minnesota's weak offense can't keep up with Washington State. Mitch Leidner threw just seven touchdown passes and had 12 interceptions. He's one of the weaker quarterbacks in the Big Ten.  |

12-26-16 | Maryland v. Boston College +2 | 30-36 | Win | 100 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a good matchup for Boston College. The Eagles have an excellent run defense. Their problem is going against outstanding athletic dual-threat quarterbacks with great athletes at the skill positions. The Eagles' worst defeats have come against Clemson, Louisville and Florida State.  Maryland is a much easier foe for Boston College, an opponent that is right in the Eagles' wheelhouse.  The Terrapins are a typical mediocre Big Ten team that likes to run behind a big offensive line. Boston College ranks seventh in the nation in run defense. The Eagles are well acquainted with the kind of spread run game that Maryland employs.  Maryland is 1-4 in its last four games with its only victory during this span occurring against 2-10 Rutgers. The Terrapins were outscored by 142 points during their last four losses. Â

12-25-16 | Broncos +3 v. Chiefs | Top | 10-33 | Loss | -100 | 60 h 43 m | Show |
These teams just met four weeks ago and the Broncos outgained the Chiefs, 464-273. The Chiefs, though, scored a touchdown with 12 seconds left to force in overtime. The Broncos tried a long field goal in overtime that missed and the Chiefs took advantage of the good field position to kick a game-winning field goal with two seconds left.  That was in Denver. But the Chiefs have failed to cover in eight of their last 10 games at Arrowhead Stadium, going 1-4 ATS in their last five home games.  Trevor Siemian has thrown for 984 yards and four touchdowns with one interception during his last three games. Alex Smith has thrown a mere 12 touchdowns passes for the season. Siemian is the more dangerous quarterback and Denver has the superior wide receivers. The Broncos still have their Super Bowl caliber defense. The Broncos have surrendered only 10 touchdown passes and lead the AFC with 40 sacks, with Von Miller accounting for 13 1/2 sacks.  Denver is No. 1 in pass defense, No. 2 in fewest yards allowed and fifth in fewest points given up. The Chiefs yield the fifth-most yards per game. Their defense is minus injured star linebacker Derrick Johnson.  The Chiefs have the record they have because they have scored seven touchdowns via their defense or special teams while not giving up any in those areas. While the Chiefs deserve credit for being opportunistic they also are lucky. It's far from a given that the Chiefs will score a non-offensive touchdown. They aren't good enough to cover this margin without that type of occurrence.Â

12-25-16 | Ravens v. Steelers -5.5 | 27-31 | Loss | -110 | 56 h 44 m | Show | |
The Ravens caught the Steelers when Ben Roethlisberger was just back from his knee injury. Roethlisberger was rusty and Baltimore won, 21-14, in Week 9. Things are much different now. Roethlisberger is healthy and plays much better at Heinz Field where he's thrown 17 touchdown passes with just three interceptions. The Ravens have a strong run defense, but their secondary is vulnerable especially with top cornerback Jimmy Smith not likely to play.  If the Ravens drop safeties into coverage then Le'Veon Bell is primed for a big game. If the Ravens key on Bell than Roethlisberger gets turned loose. Antonio Brown should prove highly dangerous here especially if Smith is out as expected.  The Ravens lack a consistent ground attack and Joe Flacco is enduring one of his worst seasons. He's been especially brutal on the road with a 5-to-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The Steelers have held six of their last seven opponents to under 250 yards through the air. Their defense has gotten healthy and stepped up.  The Steelers not only play much better at home, but they have proven strong in December covering 12 of the last 14 times.Â

12-24-16 | Bengals v. Texans -119 | Top | 10-12 | Win | 100 | 91 h 47 m | Show |
No team gives up fewer yards per game than Houston. The Texans have been held back by the atrocious quarterback play of Brock Osweiler, the $72 million dollar bust.  Bill O'Brien finally has seen the light benching Osweiler for Tom Savage. Now I'm not nominating Savage for All-Pro status, but he's a clear upgrade on Osweiler. Savage is a downfield threat and makes DeAndre Hopkins, a top-10 wide receiver talent, viable again.  The Texans are trying to win a division title. They are home, have the superior defense and stronger motivation. The Bengals are going to miss the playoffs for the first time in five seasons. They just lost a close game to their arch-rival, the Steelers, this past Sunday. Now they have to travel on Christmas week for a game that doesn't mean anything to them.  The Bengals are 1-5 SU and ATS during their last six road games with their lone away victory during this span coming against the winless Browns. The most points the Bengals have scored on the road s is 23 and that occurred against Cleveland and the 4-10 Jets in Week 1. In their other five road games, the Bengals average 16.2 points a game. Cincinnati management showed that it doesn't care about winning this game by making the decision to hold out A.J. Green, who had been cleared to play. |

12-24-16 | Titans v. Jaguars +5 | 17-38 | Win | 100 | 83 h 24 m | Show | |
The Titans have been a nice story this season. Definite improvement is there. But the oddsmaker has gotten ahead of things by making the Titans this big of a road favorite. Tennessee has a losing spread mark when laying points. The Titans have won three in a row - by a combined 11 points. They are off huge victories against the defending Super Bowl champion Broncos and the Chiefs on the road last week winning on a 53-yard field goal at the gun.  The Titans are tied with Houston for the AFC South Division lead. The Titans host the Texans next week. So it's difficult to trust the young Titans, who haven't been in this kind of letdown spot before, to cover more than a field goal on the road in an obvious flat spot.  The key here is accessing Jacksonville. The Jaguars average 18.7 points a game, which ranks 27th. However, the Jaguars have the fourth-best pass defense in the league and give up the seventh-fewest yards. Their defense is sneaky good.  The Jaguars' talent level is far superior to their 2-12 record. Jacksonville has lost seven times by one touchdown or less. Close losses and bad coaching have killed the Jaguars. Interim coach Doug Marrone can't help but be an improvement on Gus Bradley, who was fired following Sunday's one-point road loss to the Texans. Bradley was the worst coach in the NFL in my view.  The Jaguars are 4-1 SU, 4-0-1 ATS the past five times hosting the Titans. Yes, the Titans are the best they've been in at least five years, but they are far from dominant with huge weaknesses in the secondary and wide receiver.  Jacksonville should be fired up for their new coach in their final home game of the season playing a division foe that whipped them. 36-22, back in Week 8.Â

12-24-16 | Redskins v. Bears OVER 47 | 41-21 | Win | 100 | 29 h 53 m | Show | |
Now that the weather forecast is fine - temperatures in the 30's with little wind - I feel comfortable going over this more-than-fair total.  The Redskins have the No. 2 passing team in the NFL. They have put up 26 or more points on a number of defenses as good if not far better than the injury-racked Bears defense, including the Giants, Lions, Eagles (twice), Vikings, Packers and Cowboys.  Matt Barkley has done far better than expected for Chicago. It's safe to say now that he's moved the Bears offense better than Jay Cutler and now he has Chicago's top receiver, Alshon Jeffery, back from suspension. Jordan Howard has been a consistent running threat rushing for at least 77 yards in each of the last seven games going over 100 yards three times during this span.  Washington gives up nearly 25 points per game and has yielded the fourth-most yards per game.Â

12-23-16 | Eastern Michigan v. Old Dominion -4.5 | Top | 20-24 | Loss | -130 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
The marketplace has bet this game up - and the move is right. Both teams are strong offensively, but Old Dominion has the superior defense and an edge in this setting.  This game is being played in the Bahamas where the temperature will be in the high 70's with the humidity being close to 80. Old Dominion is used to this type of weather having played most of its games in heat. Eastern Michigan last played on Nov. 22. The Eagles have been enduring freezing weather being in an extremely cold region. They didn't fly to Nassau until a few days ago leaving snow and seven degree temperatures. Look for the Eagles to run out of gas playing in humidity they are unaccustomed to in what shapes up to be a high-scoring game.  Old Dominion played at Eastern Michigan last season and won 38-34. The Monarchs average 36 points, which is six points more than Eastern Michigan scores per game. Old Dominion has a balanced offense. The Monarchs have scored at least 30 points in each of their last five games, all victories.  Defensively, Old Dominion gives up three fewer points per game than Eastern Michigan and nearly 60 fewer yards than the Eagles. Eastern Michigan relies heavily on its quarterback, Brogan Roback. Look for Old Dominion to key on him. |

12-21-16 | BYU -10 v. Wyoming | Top | 24-21 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 57 m | Show |
The combination of BYU being strong on both sides of the ball and Wyoming being overrated - the Cowboys actually lost to UNLV - puts me on the Cougars.  BYU travels well and will have strong fan support for this bowl game in San Diego. The Cougars are the more mature team with older students, which helps in bowl situations. BYU is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 nonconference games, while Wyoming has failed to cover seven of its last 10 nonleague games.  Wyoming is 1-3 in its last four games losing by three points in overtime to UNLV on the road, splitting with San Diego State and losing at New Mexico by 21.Â
 BYU is 7-1 in its last eight games. The Cougars beat Michigan State by 17 on the road, won at Cincinnati by 17 and lost by just one point at Boise State.  Both teams have outstanding running backs, Brian Hill for Wyoming and Jamaal Williams for BYU. The key here is defense. Wyoming permits 34.8 pints a game and ranks among the bottom 17 in the nation in yards allowed per game.  BYU, on the other hand, holds foes to just 19.4 points per game, which was 15th-best in the country. The Cougars rank 33rd overall in total defense and are in the top-10 in run defense.  Wyoming is going to have to pass well to stay with the Cougars. Cowboys sophomore quarterback Josh Allen has been prone to interceptions getting picked off 13 times.  I'm fine with BYU going with Tanner Mangum at quarterback instead of Taysom Hill, who was injured at the end of the regular season. Mangum has filled in well before when Hill has gotten injured. As a freshman last season, Mangum completed 60 percent of his throws for 3,377 yards and 23 touchdowns.  |

12-18-16 | Raiders -2.5 v. Chargers | Top | 19-16 | Win | 100 | 48 h 56 m | Show |
Not only does Oakland hold matchup edges with San Diego all but decimated with injuries, but the Raiders are on extra time having last played a week ago Thursday. The Chargers may have the weakest home field in the league. Mike McCoy isn't likely to return as coach and the team probably is going to leave San Diego. There could be as many Oakland fans here as San Diego spectators.  Philip Rivers has lost his top weapons with Melvin Gordon, Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead out. The Chargers are down to fifth-string undrafted rookie running back Kenneth Farrow as their main ball carrier. Rivers has thrown 10 interceptions and been sacked 11 times in his last four games as he presses trying to do much to compensate for his team's numerous deficiencies.  Derek Carr had problems with an injured finger in Kansas City's cold weather during Oakland's last game. Now, with extra rest and 10 days to heal, Carr should be back to normal. Oakland's offense can take advantage of a Chargers defense that is down two of their run stuffers and two key cornerbacks. San Diego has just six sacks in its last six games.  The Raiders have proven themselves on the road under much harsher conditions going 5-1 SU and ATS. Now the Raiders get to play in their normal time zone against a foe they have dominated recently winning the past three times. The Raiders beat the Chargers, 37-29, at San Diego last season after building up a 37-6 lead. The Raiders are much better this season.Â

12-18-16 | Titans +5.5 v. Chiefs | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 45 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a bad matchup for Kansas City made worse by cold weather conditions.  The Titans have the necessary ground attack to take advantage of the Chiefs' mediocre run defense made far more ineffective by star linebacker Derrick Johnson being out. Tennessee owns edges at running back, quarterback and offensive line. Kansas City may be the luckiest team in the NFL. The Chiefs are 10-3 despite being outgained by an average of nearly 90 yards during their last six games. They are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games.  Kansas City has scored either a defensive touchdown or special teams touchdown in four of its last five games. The Chiefs are a plus 11 in takeaways/giveaways. They need turnovers to win. But Titans rising star quarterback Marcus Mariota hasn't committed a turnover in his last three games while throwing for multiple touchdown in eight of his last nine games. The Titans are expected to get back their best defensive player in lineman Jurrell Casey. Tennessee's weakness is a vulnerable secondary. But Alex Smith's strength isn't as a downfield passer. Smith isn't helped either by freezing weather. This is going to come down to who runs the ball better and I'll take DeMarco Murray and Mariota plus these points against Spencer Ware and Alex Smith. Â

12-18-16 | Packers -5.5 v. Bears | 30-27 | Loss | -110 | 44 h 29 m | Show | |
Frightful weather isn't enough to stop the Packers from covering against the Bears. Chicago is just too beat-up and inexperienced at quarterback with Matt Barkley to stay with the Packers, who are starting to peak. Barkley is a Southern California kid who isn't accustomed to playing in weather that will have a wind chill factor of below zero. He doesn't have the skill level or weapons to keep up with Aaron Rodgers. The Bears do get Alshon Jeffery back from suspension. Barkley and Jeffery have never worked together, though.  The Packers' offensive line and defense have gotten healthier coinciding with their three-game winning and covering streak against the Eagles, Texans and Seahawks. Since Week 11, the Packers haven't allowed more than 13 points in a game.  The Bears are missing six starters on defense because of injuries and suspensions. They only have 10 takeaways, which ranks 30th.  Green Bay has won six in a row at Soldier Field beating Bears teams much better than this current edition.Â

|||||||
12-18-16 | Browns +10 v. Bills | 13-33 | Loss | -105 | 44 h 28 m | Show | |
The Bills are playing too bad and are too dysfunctional to be laying double-digits to any opponent.  Buffalo is 2-5 in its last seven games and just playing the string out after missing the playoffs for an NFL-high 17th consecutive season. Rex Ryan and quarterback Tyrod Taylor both are likely out the door following the season.  The Browns desperately want to avoid a winless season. They are not outclassed in this matchup. The Bills have surrendered 21 or more points in six of their last seven games.  Robert Griffin III is the Browns' best quarterback and he won't be rusty after playing last week. Griffin has some decent weapons, too, with Terrelle Pryor, Corey Coleman, Gary Barnridge, Duke Johnson and Isaiah Crowell, who has looked his best when Griffin has been the quarterback due to Griffin's dual threat capability.  The Bills could be without Kyle Williams, one of their best defensive players and a key run defender.Â

12-17-16 | Southern Miss -4.5 v. UL-Lafayette | Top | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 95 h 53 m | Show |
Not only does Southern Mississippi play in the stronger conference - Conference USA - but they have a huge quarterback edge on Louisiana-Lafayette, a Sun Belt Conference team.  Early bowl steam should be respected and the early money has all been on the Golden Eagles. I agree. It would have been nice to lay less than four points here, but Southern Mississippi is at least a touchdown superior to the Ragin' Cajuns.  Southern Mississippi wasn't the same team when star quarterback Nick Mullens had to miss two games last month due to a concussion. But the senior returned in the regular-season finale and led the Golden Eagles to a 39-24 victory as 14 1/2-point 'dogs accounting for four touchdowns. Mullens, not Brett Favre, holds the Southern Mississippi record for touchdown passes and passing yards. Mullens can exploit a vulnerable Lafayette secondary. The Golden Eagles also have a 1,321-yard rusher in Ito Smith. Sparked by this duo, the Golden Eagles average 33.2 points a game and rank 24th in yards. Lafayette's ground-oriented offense can't match that. The Ragin' Cajuns average 10 fewer points per game and 110 yards less per contest.  Lafayette's big gun on offense is running back Elijah McGuire, who has rushed for more than 1,000 yards three straight seasons and scored 52 career touchdowns.  Southern Mississippi's defense, though, has the second-lowest third-down conversion percentage in the country. The Golden Eagles also feature a top defensive lineman in Dylan Bradley. He should be highly effective operating against Lafayette's underclass interior linemen.Â

12-17-16 | Texas-San Antonio v. New Mexico OVER 61.5 | 20-23 | Loss | -110 | 88 h 55 m | Show | |
This total falls much lower than what I envisioned. New Mexico is the top rushing team in the nation. San Antonio plays average run defense and yields nearly 29 points per game.  San Antonio averages 30 points, though, and can exploit the Lobos' 95th-ranked defense using their outstanding running back tandem of Jarveon Williams and Jalen Rhodes, who combined for nearly 2,000 yards from scrimmage. Roadrunners quarterback Dalton Strum can both run and throw. He's accounted for 22 touchdowns.  New Mexico has gone over the total in 12 of its last 14 games.Â
|
|||||||
12-15-16 | Rams v. Seahawks OVER 39 | Top | 3-24 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 46 m | Show |
The Rams defense has fallen apart giving up an average of 39 points in their last three games. The Seahawks, with Russell Wilson healthy now, have the offense to take advantage. The Seahawks also have the motivation having lost three in a row to this opponent. The Rams are way down now and vulnerable to a blowout, which this matchup figures to be given the situation and point spread. Pete Carroll won't be adverse to running up a score. His team is in a foul mood after a 38-10 blowout loss to the Packers last week.  The Rams secondary has been weakened by injuries with cornerback E.J. Gaines not expected to play.  Jeff Fisher is finally gone. That's a plus for the Rams offense because it might allow for some creativity.. The Seahawks are without Earl Thomas, another plus for the Rams offense. LA has a new interim coach and is playing on national TV for a rare time. So the Rams shouldn't be holding anything back.Â
|

12-12-16 | Ravens v. Patriots UNDER 45.5 | Top | 23-30 | Loss | -110 | 171 h 16 m | Show |
The Ravens aren't going to have an offensive explosion against the Patriots like they did against the Dolphins this past Sunday. That was just Joe Flacco's third multi-touchdown passing game of the season. He's a below average quarterback in my view and isn't helped by any special skill position talent especially at running back. |
|||||||
12-11-16 | Cowboys v. Giants +4 | 7-10 | Win | 100 | 22 h 11 m | Show | |
Dallas has been maybe the major success story of the NFL season so far. The public loves them betting them past a field goal favorite on the road against a division rival that has won six of its last seven games. New York is 5-1 at home.  The Giants are the only team to beat Dallas. New York held the Cowboys to 19 points in that opening week win. The Giants' defense has gotten better since then. Only three teams have surrendered fewer touchdown passes than the Giants.  Not once have the Giants yielded more than 24 points during their last nine games.  Dallas hasn't lost since that opening week defeat. But the Cowboys have been in four close games the past four weeks. They've been outgained in three of those contests.  Both teams play ball control. The Cowboys by running. The Giants by throwing short passes. The Giants just activated their best-catching running back, Shane Vereen.  Temperatures are forecast to be in the 30's with snow flurries. This has all the makings of another back-and-forth matchup likely decided in the final minute. So I'm happy to take this many points.Â

12-11-16 | Vikings -3 v. Jaguars | 25-16 | Win | 100 | 36 h 2 m | Show | |
The Vikings are the fresher team having played last Thursday and have playoff incentive something the Jaguars lack. |

12-11-16 | Cardinals -130 v. Dolphins | 23-26 | Loss | -130 | 36 h 0 m | Show | |
Talent-wise, Arizona is much the better team. Carson Palmer has finally starting playing better, too. David Johnson is the most dynamic non-quarterback in football with an NFL-best 15 touchdowns. He's gone for triple-digits in yards from scrimmage every game.  The Cardinals do not have a good track record this season on the road and this is an early start for them. But I have to believe Bruce Arians will have his team ready and motivated after they beat the Redskins last week at home to keep their playoff hopes alive.  I'm not a fan of the Dolphins' talent base particularly their secondary and quarterback. This is a home game, but the Dolphins are 0-12 ATS in their last 12 December games. The Dolphins lack grit, have a vulnerable secondary and their offensive line still isn't healthy with center Mike Pouncey looking to be out again.Â

12-11-16 | Redskins +1 v. Eagles | Top | 27-22 | Win | 100 | 111 h 50 m | Show |
Washington is clearly the superior team. The Redskins showed that in the team's first meeting back in Week 6 when they outgained the Eagles, 493-239. Washington won 27-20 and the score should not have been that close but the Eagles got two non-offensive touchdowns.  Since then the Eagles have gotten worse. They are 2-7 in their last nine games. Philadelphia has allowed 26 or more points in five of its last six games. The Eagles have a terrible secondary and a pass rush that has only managed six sacks in the last six games. Washington has a much better secondary and an explosive offense - which ranks No. 2 in yardage and passing yards - that can take advantage of Philadelphia's many defensive shortcoming. It's a plus if star tight end Jordan Reed plays, but the Redskins have many other receiving weapons, including DeSean Jackson, underrated Jamison Crowder, Pierre Garcon and Vernon Davis.  The Redskins have won and covered the past four in the series.Â

12-04-16 | Panthers v. Seahawks -7 | Top | 7-40 | Win | 100 | 44 h 58 m | Show |
Expect the Seahawks to take no prisoners here in a double revenge spot against the Panthers, who beat them in the regular season and playoffs last season. |
|||||||
12-04-16 | Broncos v. Jaguars +3.5 | 20-10 | Loss | -115 | 36 h 16 m | Show | |
This is the lowest total on the Week 13 NFL betting board. So taking more than a field goal is huge even though it's with Jacksonville. |
|||||||
12-04-16 | 49ers -128 v. Bears | 6-26 | Loss | -128 | 36 h 15 m | Show | |
Thanks to Colin Kaepernick the 49ers have shown much improvement during the last three weeks playing the Cardinals, Patriots and Dolphins all tough. Now San Francisco steps way down in class. |
|||||||
12-03-16 | San Diego State v. Wyoming +7 | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 25 h 41 m | Show |
The host has won all three Mountain West Conference title games. Look for Wyoming to contribute to that trend. |
|||||||
12-03-16 | Georgia State v. Idaho OVER 52.5 | 12-37 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 54 m | Show | |
Idaho's offense has come on. The Vandals have the necessary skill position players to get this total over. The over has cashed in 11 of Idaho's last 17 games.The Vandals also have a top place-kicker in Austin Rehkow. |
|||||||
12-03-16 | UL-Lafayette v. UL-Monroe OVER 55 | 30-3 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 5 m | Show | |
Louisiana Monroe is very dangerous offensively at home. The Warhawks have gone over in their last three home contests averaging 37.6 points in those games. Opponents, though, have scored 35, 34 and 34 points against Monroe in those games. |
|||||||
12-03-16 | Temple v. Navy UNDER 62 | Top | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 93 h 3 m | Show |
These are two slow-paced run-oriented teams. So why is the total so high for this American Athletic Conference title game? Oddsmaker can't help but over inflate the line after Navy's 75-31 win against SMU last week with the Midshipmen picking up 605 yards. That help pump Navy's scoring average to more than 41 points per game. |
|||||||
12-02-16 | Colorado v. Washington -7.5 | Top | 10-41 | Win | 100 | 21 h 32 m | Show |
Colorado's had a great season, but now the Buffaloes meet their Waterloo here in the Pac-12 title game. |
|||||||
12-01-16 | Cowboys v. Vikings +3 | Top | 17-15 | Win | 103 | 7 h 32 m | Show |
Dallas is on a tremendous roll, but that stops here. The Cowboys aren't that strong to be laying this number on the road against this classy of a defense and against this strong of a home field, which ranks among the best in football. |
|||||||
11-28-16 | Packers +4 v. Eagles | Top | 27-13 | Win | 100 | 22 h 14 m | Show |
Talent-wise the Packers are better than the Eagles. Philadelphia is tough at home, but Green Bay is way overdue to play better. I see that occurring here as the Packers are improved on offense and their defense is getting key players back. Clay Matthews played last week and cornerback Damarious Randall and linebacker Jake Ryan are expected back Monday. |
|||||||
11-27-16 | Panthers +3 v. Raiders | 32-35 | Push | 0 | 88 h 15 m | Show | |
Credit Jack Del Rio with doing a great job this season with the Raiders. Having said that, though, I believe the Raiders are very overrated. Yes, they are 8-2. But they've also been outgained on the season, have committed the most penalties in the league by far and are 1-3 ATS in games played in Oakland. |
|||||||
11-27-16 | Patriots v. Jets OVER 46 | Top | 22-17 | Loss | -110 | 88 h 48 m | Show |
Tom Brady has been back for six games. He has a 16-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio and because of him the Patriots have averaged 31.6 points per game in their last six games. That would rank No. 2 in the NFL if it were computed over the entire season. |
|||||||
11-27-16 | Bengals +4 v. Ravens | 14-19 | Loss | -110 | 85 h 43 m | Show | |
You have to go back to the opening game of the 2012 season to find the last time Baltimore beat Cincinnati by more than four points. Since then the Bengals have dominated this series winning the past five times. |
|||||||
11-27-16 | Cardinals +5 v. Falcons | 19-38 | Loss | -105 | 63 h 12 m | Show | |
Arizona is better than its 4-5-1 record. The Cardinals are in must-win mode and the pointspread has become inflated. |
|||||||
11-27-16 | Titans -3 v. Bears | Top | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 136 h 40 m | Show |
The answer is yes I can trust the Titans on the road - against this battered foe whose season is shot. |
|||||||
11-26-16 | Rice v. Stanford OVER 54 | 17-41 | Win | 100 | 29 h 34 m | Show | |
Stanford's offense is coming on as the Cardinal is averaging 39.2 points in their last four games. Rice surrenders 37.2 points a game and ranks 123rd in total defense. The Owls give up 7.3 yards per play and won't be able to contain Stanford's star running back, Christian McCaffrey. |
|||||||
11-26-16 | Tennessee v. Vanderbilt OVER 53 | Top | 34-45 | Win | 100 | 28 h 60 m | Show |
No offense is hotter than Tennessee's. The Volunteers are averaging a staggering 55.6 points in their last three games. Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs has stepped up to account for 10 touchdowns during the last two weeks. Dobbs' 24 touchdown passes are the most in the SEC. |
|||||||
11-26-16 | Nevada v. UNLV UNDER 62.5 | 45-10 | Win | 100 | 21 h 12 m | Show | |
I'd be surprised if UNLV attempted more than 18 passes in this game unless forced to throw. The Rebels are a running team with a cluster injury problem at wide receiver. Nevada Reno's offense is more balanced but facing a Rebel defense strong at linebacker and senior-laden in the secondary. |
|||||||
11-26-16 | Oregon -3 v. Oregon State | Top | 24-34 | Loss | -111 | 21 h 9 m | Show |
The numbers are 34, 21, 24, 12, 27 1/2, and 16 1/2. Those are the spreads Oregon has been favored against Oregon State during the last six years. Oregon has won all of those games against arch-rival Oregon State with only one of the victories being by less than 10 points. |
|||||||
11-26-16 | Kansas v. Kansas State OVER 53 | 19-34 | Push | 0 | 21 h 48 m | Show | |
Kansas State can come close to covering this number on its own. The The Wildcats have a balanced offense with running backs Alex Barnes and Charles Jones along with Jesse Ertz helping Kansas State average more than 32 points a game. Kansas gives up 37.6 points per contest and ranks 111th in run defense. Look for the Wildcats to run all over the worn down Jayhawks. |
|||||||
11-25-16 | Boise State v. Air Force +9 | Top | 20-27 | Win | 100 | 24 h 30 m | Show |
Only once this season has Air Force been an underdog. That was as a one-point road 'dog to Army, a game the Falcons won, 31-12, three weeks ago. |
|||||||
11-24-16 | Vikings +2.5 v. Lions | Top | 13-16 | Loss | -100 | 35 h 32 m | Show |
Minnesota owned the best defense in the NFL during the first five weeks holding opponents to 12.6 points per game in opening 5-0. |
|||||||
11-20-16 | Patriots -11 v. 49ers | Top | 30-17 | Win | 100 | 43 h 22 m | Show |
I consider the Patriots to be the team to beat in the Super Bowl. At the other end, I consider the 49ers right there with the Browns as the worst team in the NFL. |
|||||||
11-20-16 | Dolphins -118 v. Rams | 14-10 | Win | 100 | 121 h 49 m | Show | |
Miami has won four in a row. The Dolphins are staying in Southern California after upsetting San Diego this past Sunday so long travel is negated. |
|||||||
11-20-16 | Jaguars +6.5 v. Lions | 19-26 | Loss | -110 | 44 h 51 m | Show | |
The Lions haven't won a game by more than six points all season. They have a six-point overtime victory. Their other four victories were by a combined 11 points. |
|||||||
11-20-16 | Ravens +7.5 v. Cowboys | 17-27 | Loss | -117 | 41 h 54 m | Show | |
It's tough to step in against the Cowboys, who have won and covered every game since opening week. But Dallas' line is inflated here. The Ravens are well-coached and strong defensively allowing 17.8 points a game. Only three teams give up fewer points per game. No team yields fewer yards and rushing yards per game than Baltimore. |
|||||||
11-20-16 | Cardinals v. Vikings OVER 40 | 24-30 | Win | 101 | 40 h 47 m | Show | |
This is a low total given the firepower of the Cardinals and the matchup being played on a fast track. |
|||||||
11-19-16 | Clemson v. Wake Forest OVER 46.5 | 35-13 | Win | 100 | 66 h 39 m | Show | |
Clemson can cover this number by itself. Wake Forest played its heart out last week against Louisville even leading the Cardinals in the fourth quarterback. But the Demon Deacons eventually surrendered 44 points and 343 yards rushing. Louisville averaged 9.2 yards per run attempt. |
|||||||
11-19-16 | Northwestern v. Minnesota OVER 46 | Top | 12-29 | Loss | -110 | 66 h 41 m | Show |
I'm surprised to see this total open so low. Northwestern has some excellent skill position talent. If you discount games against Ohio State and Wisconsin - both of whom have vastly better defenses than Minnesota - the Wildcats are averaging 39.7 points in their last four games. Wildcats QB Clayton Thorson is coming off a career-high 352 yards throwing while accounting for four touchdowns against Purdue. |
|||||||
11-19-16 | Duke +7.5 v. Pittsburgh | 14-56 | Loss | -118 | 21 h 7 m | Show | |
Duke knows how to win on the road, can take advantage of a weak Pittsburgh secondary and catches the Panthers off a huge upset victory against Clemson. |
|||||||
11-19-16 | Wisconsin v. Purdue OVER 49 | 49-20 | Win | 100 | 59 h 42 m | Show | |
As the competition gets worse, Wisconsin's offense gets rolling. The Badgers rushed for 363 yards against Illinois last week in a 48-3 victory. Now the Badgers draw even a worst defense - Purdue. The Boilermakers defense is just worn down. In their last three games, they've surrendered 62 points to Penn State, 44 to Minnesota and 45 to Northwestern. Only nine teams give up more points per game than Purdue at 38.4. Â |
|||||||
11-18-16 | UNLV +28.5 v. Boise State | Top | 25-42 | Win | 100 | 58 h 9 m | Show |
Back in the 1990's, I covered the UNLV football team and have retained several key sources. It's a team I follow closely living n Las Vegas. I can tell you first-hand this Rebel team is different than what their previous teams from the past 30 years have been. Tony Sanchez is UNLV's best football coach since Harvey Hyde back in the early 1980's. Another big difference is these Rebels can be counted on for a full effort and can now be trusted on the road. That wasn't the case before Sanchez took over. The Rebels are about two-to-three star players away from being a serious conference contender, but they are vastly improved both talent-wise and mentally under Sanchez. |
|||||||
11-13-16 | Seahawks v. Patriots -7.5 | 31-24 | Loss | -100 | 95 h 33 m | Show | |
At first this spread may seem a little high. But New England is the best team in football while Seattle is down from past seasons and caught in a horrendous situational spot. |
|||||||
11-13-16 | Cowboys v. Steelers -135 | 35-30 | Loss | -135 | 90 h 29 m | Show | |
Ben Roethlisberger has had a game to shake off the rust and is back home. That makes Pittsburgh very dangerous. Roethlisberger has a 51-to-13 touchdown-to-interception ratio at Heniz Field since 2014 compared to 19-to-19 on the road during this three-year span. |
|||||||
11-13-16 | Packers -134 v. Titans | 25-47 | Loss | -134 | 87 h 4 m | Show | |
The Titans are a rising team, much better than believed at the start of the season. Green Bay has been one of more disappointing teams in the league. |
|||||||
11-13-16 | Broncos +3 v. Saints | 25-23 | Win | 100 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
I'm not buying the Saints being favored against the defending world champions whose defense remains elite. |
|||||||
11-12-16 | Colorado State +6 v. Air Force | 46-49 | Win | 100 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
Colorado State is a bit under the radar improving each week. The Rams have covered in six of their last seven wins and are one win from being bowl eligible. They are fresh from having a bye two weeks ago and easily rolling past pathetic Fresno State last Saturday. |
|||||||
11-12-16 | USC v. Washington UNDER 62 | Top | 26-13 | Win | 100 | 30 h 7 m | Show |
Bad weather is expected with the weather forecast calling for an 80 percent of rain and wind up to 20 mph. |
|||||||
11-12-16 | Illinois v. Wisconsin OVER 39 | 3-48 | Win | 100 | 18 h 6 m | Show | |
After five straight games of facing tough Big Ten defenses, the Badgers step down in class here. Illinois is surrendering nearly 30 points a game. |
|||||||
11-11-16 | Boston College +21 v. Florida State | Top | 7-45 | Loss | -104 | 18 h 55 m | Show |
Boston College is an opponent Florida State has problems matching up against. The Eagles have trouble with mobile quarterbacks such as Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson. Florida State doesn't present that. Seminoles freshman quarterback Deondre Francois has rushed for under 90 yards on the season. |
|||||||
11-10-16 | Browns +10 v. Ravens | Top | 7-28 | Loss | -115 | 23 h 30 m | Show |
Rarely, if ever, am I going to recommend playing the Browns this season. Cleveland's talent level isn't better than expansion level and its priority this season is playing for the future not necessarily winning games. |
|||||||
11-07-16 | Bills v. Seahawks -6.5 | Top | 25-31 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
Count me among those not impressed by Buffalo. I think the Bills' coaching is below par, their passing game is weak and the defense not nearly as good as it was two years ago when Jim Schwartz was the defensive coordinator and before Rex Ryan came on board. |
|||||||
11-06-16 | Titans +5 v. Chargers | Top | 35-43 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 27 m | Show |
Love the Chargers as 'dogs, hate them as favorites where they are 1-5 ATS the past six times in that role losing straight-up in four of those games. |
|||||||
11-06-16 | Panthers -158 v. Rams | 13-10 | Win | 100 | 98 h 57 m | Show | |
The buy sign is on for Carolina. The Panthers came out of their bye refreshed and invigorated beating the Cardinals. |
|||||||
11-06-16 | Jaguars +8 v. Chiefs | 14-19 | Win | 100 | 96 h 1 m | Show | |
The Chiefs are a conservative, grind-out team not built to cover margins past a touchdown. Now the Chiefs will be without Alex Smith. The Chiefs already are thin at running back and have an overrated defense that doesn't apply much of a pass rush. That problem isn't likely to be corrected until Justin Houston returns to the lineup and he's not ready this week. |
|||||||
11-06-16 | Lions v. Vikings -6 | 22-16 | Loss | -102 | 93 h 36 m | Show | |
In Mike Zimmer we trust. The Vikings are coming off two terrible offensive performances. Their vaunted defense didn't cover themselves with glory either in an embarrassing Monday night road loss to the Bears. |
|||||||
11-05-16 | Alabama v. LSU +8.5 | Top | 10-0 | Loss | -114 | 56 h 38 m | Show |
Alabama won't finish the season unbeaten. How's that? Because the Crimson Tide are going to lose here in this toughest of tough road settings. Just in case, taking more than a touchdown with LSU is a tremendous cushion. |
|||||||
11-05-16 | Virginia Tech v. Duke OVER 52.5 | 24-21 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 60 m | Show | |
Virginia Tech quarterback Jerod Evans is playing his finest ball throwing for 665 yards and four touchdowns during the past two weeks. Duke is minus its top cornerback, DeVon Edwards. |
|||||||
11-05-16 | TCU v. Baylor UNDER 69.5 | 62-22 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 43 m | Show | |
This total is set too high especially given Seth Russell's not-for-certain status and TCU's quarterback problems. Starting Horned Frogs quarterback Kenny Hill was so bad last week he was pulled. Hill has been picked off 10 times this season. The Horned Frogs' best running back, Kyle Hicks, is dealing with a sore ankle. |
|||||||
11-05-16 | Oregon State v. Stanford OVER 41.5 | 15-26 | Loss | -116 | 46 h 25 m | Show | |
Stanford's offense is picking up and the Cardinal is going against a weak Oregon State defense that ranks 103rd in scoring defense giving up 32.6 points a game. |
|||||||
11-05-16 | Wisconsin v. Northwestern +7 | 21-7 | Loss | -116 | 38 h 1 m | Show | |
Wisconsin always has trouble playing at Northwestern. The Badgers last won there in 1999. The Wildcats also beat the Badgers in Madison last year, winning 13-7. Northwestern has been playing well. The Wildcats had won three in a row and gave Ohio State a tough battle losing 24-20 on the road last week. |
|||||||
11-03-16 | Falcons v. Bucs OVER 51 | Top | 43-28 | Win | 100 | 44 h 12 m | Show |
Atlanta has a very good offense. The Falcons are a little improved defensively, but still very bad. The result is a great combination to go over the total. That's what the Falcons have done in seven of their eight games. No other team has a better over mark than Atlanta's 7-1. |
|||||||
11-01-16 | Western Michigan v. Ball State +17.5 | 52-20 | Loss | -102 | 20 h 8 m | Show | |
Western Michigan has a lot going. The Broncos are unbeaten, ranked in the top-25 and in line to play in a major bowl game. |
|||||||
10-31-16 | Vikings -4 v. Bears | Top | 10-20 | Loss | -102 | 93 h 11 m | Show |
The Vikings are vastly superior to the Bears, a true Super Bowl contender. Chicago is one of the five worst teams in the NFL. |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Eagles +5 v. Cowboys | 23-29 | Loss | -115 | 149 h 57 m | Show | |
This is too many points for the Cowboys to lay in this fierce division rivalry. |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Chiefs -142 v. Colts | 30-14 | Win | 100 | 110 h 58 m | Show | |
Aside from Andrew Luck and T.Y. Hilton, the Colts hold no edges against Kansas City. The Chiefs should dominate both lines of scrimmage. They have the superior defense and running game. |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Lions v. Texans -129 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 90 h 45 m | Show | |
Let me get this off my chest right away. I deplore Bill O'Brien's play not-to-lose approach. I understand it, though, because he has a stiff for a quarterback in Brock Osweiler. |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Jets -125 v. Browns | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 12 h 59 m | Show | |
The Jets couldn't survive a brutal first half schedule that included four road games in seven weeks and matchups against the Bengals, Bills, Chiefs, Seahawks, Steelers, Cardinals and Ravens. |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Patriots -5.5 v. Bills | Top | 41-25 | Win | 100 | 147 h 36 m | Show |
It's rare to get Bill Belichick and his Patriots in a same season revenge game. But that's the case here as the Bills shut out the Patriots, 16-0, in Week 4. New England was forced to play third-string rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett in that game. |
|||||||
10-29-16 | Washington State v. Oregon State OVER 56.5 | Top | 35-31 | Win | 100 | 27 h 41 m | Show |
Mike Leach has made Washington State a high-scoring team, one of the top 15 in the nation averaging more than 40 points a game. Luke Falk is an upper tier quarterback and the Cougars have improved their ground attack. Washington State has its highest yard per carry rushing at 3.87 since Leach took over in 2012. |
|||||||
10-29-16 | SMU v. Tulane -145 | 35-31 | Loss | -145 | 44 h 23 m | Show | |
I'll take the home team with the superior defense catching an opponent in a prime letdown spot.
|
|||||||
10-29-16 | Army v. Wake Forest -6.5 | 21-13 | Loss | -115 | 44 h 47 m | Show | |
Wake Forest has defeated Army nine straight times. The Demon Deacons were idle last week giving them a needed break and extra prep time to work on stopping Army's one-dimensional option offense. |
|||||||
10-29-16 | Michigan v. Michigan State +24.5 | Top | 32-23 | Win | 100 | 40 h 19 m | Show |
This truly has been the season in hell for Michigan State and Mark Dantonio. It's the first time in 25 years the Spartans have dropped five games in a row. |
|||||||
10-23-16 | Seahawks v. Cardinals OVER 43.5 | Top | 6-6 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 12 m | Show |
First off, this isn't such a hard total to go over in today's NFL passing world with the rules skewed in the offense's favor. |
|||||||
10-23-16 | Chargers +6.5 v. Falcons | Top | 33-30 | Win | 100 | 76 h 9 m | Show |
The Falcons are playing well, but face both a physical and mental letdown returning home from back-to-back road games against the bruising Broncos and Seahawks. |
|||||||
10-23-16 | Vikings -143 v. Eagles | 10-21 | Loss | -143 | 75 h 49 m | Show | |
The Vikings have been the biggest money-makers in the NFL under Mike Zimmer covering an amazing 18 of their last 21 games. |
|||||||
10-22-16 | Ohio State v. Penn State UNDER 57.5 | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 31 h 32 m | Show | |
Ohio State gives up less than 13 points per game. Penn State has picked up its ground attack. The Nittany Lions will try to stay on the ground to keep the ball away from Ohio State. That will keep the clock running. The Buckeyes have allowed just one touchdown rushing all season. |
|||||||
10-22-16 | East Carolina v. Cincinnati UNDER 64.5 | 19-31 | Win | 100 | 29 h 15 m | Show | |
The offenses could come out rusty. Cincinnati, which ranks 11th in the American Athletic Conference in scoring at 23 points a game, had a bye last week. East Carolina was supposed to play last Thursday, but that game was postponed due to Hurricane Matthew. |
|||||||
10-22-16 | Middle Tennessee State v. Missouri -7.5 | 51-45 | Loss | -106 | 26 h 29 m | Show | |
The class difference here should result in Missouri winning by double-digits.The Tigers drop down from SEC opponents needing a victory to keep alive their bowl hopes. The Blue Raiders haven't knocked off an SEC foe in 11 years. That's because SEC teams are stronger, quicker and more athletic. |
|||||||
10-22-16 | TCU +6.5 v. West Virginia | Top | 10-34 | Loss | -109 | 26 h 8 m | Show |
West Virginia has been a nice surprise, but I like TCU here. I'm not sold on West Virginia's defense, nor the Mountaineers' ability to control the trenches. The Horned Frogs have 21 sacks. Â |
|||||||
10-21-16 | Oregon v. California UNDER 89 | Top | 49-52 | Loss | -111 | 22 h 45 m | Show |
I'm not nominating either team for having the defense of the year. Both team's offenses are much better than their respective defenses. But the setting and total make this a worthy under the total investment. |
|||||||
10-16-16 | Colts v. Texans -3 | Top | 23-26 | Push | 0 | 125 h 45 m | Show |
This line is off. These teams aren't even, which the oddsmaker is insinuating opening the game Houston minus 3 with home-field usually worth a field goal. |
|||||||
10-16-16 | Falcons v. Seahawks UNDER 46 | Top | 24-26 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 4 m | Show |
The elements - both matchup-wise and weather-wise - are there for this total to go under. |
|||||||
10-16-16 | Chiefs +1.5 v. Raiders | Top | 26-10 | Win | 100 | 127 h 17 m | Show |
I like the Chiefs a lot here for three main reasons: They are the superior team. The situation. And the line value with the Raiders opening the favorite. |
|||||||
10-16-16 | Steelers v. Dolphins OVER 48 | 15-30 | Loss | -108 | 39 h 17 m | Show | |
The Steelers are on full throttle since Le'Veon Bell returned from suspension scoring 84 points and piling up 869 yards during their last two games. Ben Roethlisberger is on fire during this span completing 76 percent of his passes with nine touchdown throws and no interceptions. |
