6* Rams/Giants NFC *CA$H COW* on Los Angeles -5.5
The Key: The Los Angeles Rams played in London two weeks ago. They then had their bye last week. Teams in this situation have been tremendous bets the first game back from their bye. Teams returning from London off their bye are 9-0-1 ATS since 2015. The Rams are the healthiest team in the NFL right now and could easily be 6-1 instead of 5-2. The Giants have a laundry list of injuries and won't be competitive the rest of the way after their 1-6 start. This is a complete mismatch ladies and gents. Take Los Angeles.

The Key: The Tampa Bay Bucs are playing with their season on the line today. At 2-5, and with the Saints at 5-2, their season is essentially over if they lose this game. They should be playing with a chip on their shoulder here. The Bucs still have the talent to match the Saints. And they are catching 7 points, which is a ton when you consider each of the last 6 meetings in this series have been decided by 7 points or less. The Buccaneers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a double-digit loss at home. Take Tampa Bay.

7* Bills/Jets AFC East *HEAVY HITTER* on New York +3.5
The Key: I like backing underdogs with divisional revenge in mind. The Jets lost to the Bills 21-12 on the road back in Week 1 in their first meeting. But this has been a much better Jets team since then. The Jets are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall while going 3-3 straight up and their 3 losses coming to the Pats by 7, Falcons by 5 and Dolphins by 3. So they have been competitive in every game with a chance to win late. And getting 3.5 points here is a nice value as this game could easily be decided by a field goal. The Jets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. They are also 19-6 ATS in their last 25 home games off a home loss. Give me New York.

Now they face their toughest road test of the season and the best team they have faced all year. And they are banged up at receiver and along the offensive line. They get a hungry Chiefs team coming off consecutive losses and on extra rest after playing last Thursday, and Andy Reid is the best in the business when given extra time to prepare.

6* Steelers/Lions Sunday Night *BAILOUT* on Pittsburgh -3
The Key: The Detroit Lions are coming off a bye, which is keeping this line shorter than it should be. But they have some key injuries still that the are dealing with along the offensive line and at receiver. And I think that they are still overvalued due to their 3-1 start, but we've seen their true colors show in their last two games with a 24-27 home loss to the Panthers and a 38-52 road loss to the Saints. But those games were bigger blowouts than the final scores as the Lions made late runs in both. They trailed the Panthers 27-10 and the Saints 45-10. The Steelers look like perhaps the best team in the NFL right now with their 19-13 road win over the Chiefs and their 29-14 home win over the Bengals. They have one of the league's top defenses, and Le'Veon Bell cannot be stopped. The Steelers are 9-1 ATS after going over the total in their previous game over the last 3 seasons. Take Pittsburgh.

And the Bills have given up over 700 passing yards combined in their last 2 games due to all of their injuries in the secondary. The Bills will be able to move the ball at will on this weak Raiders defense as well. The OVER is 13-3 in Bills last 16 home games. The OVER is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings. The OVER is 10-1 in all Bills home games over the last 2 seasons. Take the OVER.

7* NFC Game of the Year on San Francisco 49ers +13
The Key: The Philadelphia Eagles are getting too much respect from oddsmakers now after their 6-1 start to the season. It's time to fade away in this flat spot for them off their big win over the Redskins on Monday Night football, which makes it a short week for them as well. It's also time to back the 49ers off their 30-point loss to the Cowboys as the public perception of them is way down right now. But they had lost 5 straight games by 3 points or fewer prior to that blowout defeat, so they are clearly capable of being competitive. Bets on dogs is 10.5 or more points off a loss y 14 points or more against an opponent who scored 30 or more points last game are 26-4 ATS over the last 10 seasons. Take San Francisco.

7* Dolphins/Ravens AFC *HEAVY HITTER* on Miami Dolphins +3
The Key: The Miami Dolphins are the better team here over the Baltimore Ravens. The Dolphins have managed a 4-2 record despite getting nothing out of their offense this season. Well, that was until the 4th quarter last week when Matt Moore replaced an injured Jay Cutler and led the Dolphins to 17 points in the final period to beat the Jets 31-28. Now Moore gets the nod again, and the offense will open up with him at the helm. The Dolphins already have one of the best defenses in the NFL, and they'll be up against one of the worst offenses in the Ravens. The cluster injuries for the Ravens right now just aren't going to allow them to be competitive moving forward. Take Miami.

7* Redskins/Eagles NFC East *HEAVY HITTER* on Philadelphia -5
The Key: The Philadelphia Eagles are the best team in the NFC at 5-1 right now. They have a front seven defensively that is one of the best in the NFL, and their offense has really taken off this year with Carson Wentz. I think Wentz has a big game against a Redskins defense that will be missing Josh Norman and Jonathan Allen, and possibly another corner in Breeland. The Eagles beat the Redskins already 30-17 on the road and outgained them 356 to 254 in that game. Now they are only laying 5 at home in the rematch. I think they win by a TD or more with ease. Take Philadelphia.

They should have a great chance of getting revenge here considering they are relatively healthy, while the Broncos are dealing with several injuries. The top 2 receivers are hurt in Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, with Sanders out Sunday. Trevor Siemian is playing despite a bum shoulder, and he will be missing his starting offensive tackle and his backup tackle. I just don't see where the points are going to come from for the Broncos in this game given the current state of their offense up against an underrated Chargers defense. Take Los Angeles.

6* Seahawks/Giants NFC *CA$H COW* on Seattle -3.5
The Key: Money has been pouring in on the Giants all week. But it's an overreaction from their 23-10 win in Denver on Sunday Night Football. The Broncos took them lightly and had a ton of injuries in that game that led to the result. But the Giants weren't the better team. They got all the breaks, including a defensive touchdown, and they were actually outgained by 146 yards by the Broncos. Now they have to face a rested Seahawks team coming off their bye, and I think the Giants' deficiencies will really show this week. The Seahawks own the Giants, going 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in the last three meetings while winning by an average of 18.3 points per game. Take Seattle.

7* AFC Total of the Year on Bengals/Steelers OVER 40.5

And we haven't seen a total lower than 44.5 in a Bengals vs. Steelers game in any of the last 8 meetings. This total of 40.5 is simply too low. The Bengals have been improving offensively since making the coordinator change, and the Steelers aren't going to be held back offensively like they have up to this point. They simply have too much talent on offense. Cincinnati is on a 48-28 OVER run vs. good defensive teams that give up 17 or fewer points per game. Pittsburgh is on a 28-14 OVER run in home games vs. teams who give up 17 or fewer points per game. Take the OVER.

They Chiefs are vulnerable right now as this is a tough scheduling spot. They played on Monday night two weeks ago, and now have to play on Thursday night. That means they will be playing their 3rd game in 11 days, which is as tough a spot as it gets in the NFL. The Chiefs have allowed at least 100 rushing yards in all 6 games this year. Look for a heavy dose of Marshawn Lynch from the Raiders here, which will be the key to victory for them. Take Oakland.

But an asterisk has to get put on those losses because Marcus Mariota got hurt against the Texans two weeks ago, and he didn't play against Miami last week. Now Mariota makes his return and will lead the Titans to a blowout victory over the hapless Colts. The only two wins for the Colts this season came at home against the 0-6 Cleveland Browns and the 0-6 San Francisco 49ers by a combined 6 points. In their 2 road games this year, the Colts lost 9-46 to the Rams and 18-46 to the Seahawks. Adding to the Titans' hunger here is the fact that they have lost 11 straight meetings with the Colts, but most of those were with Andrew Luck at QB. Take Tennessee.

6* Sunday NFL *UPSET SPECIAL* on Los Angeles Rams +2.5
The Key: The Los Angeles Rams are the better team in this matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Rams have put up legit numbers this season outgaining teams by 40 yards per game and 0.6 yards per play. The Jaguars haven't as they are dead even in yardage differential and dead even in yards per play. The Jaguars have been one of the most lucky teams in the NFL to force 15 turnovers and score an insane amount of points off those turnovers. They are +11 in turnover differential this season, which is the only reason they are 3-2. I don't like backing teams that must win the turnover battle to win the game, which is almost always the case for the Jaguars because they aren't very good, especially on offense. West Coast teams traveling East is usually a tough spot for them, but not here because this is a 4:05 EST start time. Take Los Angeles.

7* NFC Game of the Month on Tampa Bay Bucs -1.5
The Key: Teams coming off Thursday NFL games are a perfect 8-0 against the spread this season. The Bucs have had extra time to prepare now after losing 14-19 at home to the Patriots last Thursday in a game they easily could have won. They get some key players back from injury on defense in Lavonte David and TJ Ward. Now they get to face an Arizona Cardinals team that is coming off a 7-34 loss at Philadelphia and could easily be 0-5 this year if not for overtime wins against the Colts and 49ers. The Cardinals have mass offensive line injuries right now and can't keep Carson Palmer upright. Trading for Adrian Peterson won't solve their problems in the immediate future, and I think they're being overvalued because of that trade. The Cardinals are 6-18 ATS in their last 24 games overall. Take Tampa Bay.

The Lions haven't been as good as their 3-2 record statistically as they have benefited from a +8 turnover differential. But the Lions have key injuries on their offensive line and on defense, and Matthew Stafford is starting to feel the effects of being sacked 12 times over the last 2 weeks. He is hobbled coming into this one and won't be 100%. The Saints are 8-0 ATS vs. good offensive teams - scoring 24 or more points/game over the last 3 seasons. Take New Orleans.

7* Eagles/Panthers NFC *HEAVY HITTER* on Carolina -3
The Key: The Philadelphia Eagles are going to be without two key pieces on offense. Running back Wendell Smallwood and tackle Lane Johnson are both out. You wouldn't think a tackle would make that much of a difference, but in Johnson's case it has. Carson Wentz is 9-2 in games that Johnson plays, and 2-8 in games that he does not. He has thrown 20 touchdowns and 5 interceptions with Johnson, and 6 touchdowns compared to 12 interceptions without him. I love the way the Panthers are playing right now with back-to-back huge road wins over the Patriots and Lions. Cam Newton finally looks fully healthy, and he has found some new favorite targets in Devin Funchess and Ed Dickson. Funchess has 3 TD receptions in his last 2 games, and Dickson had 175 receiving yards against the Lions. Ron Rivera is 32-13 ATS off a road game as the coach of Carolina. The favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Take Carolina.

7* NFL Sunday Night Game of the Year on Houston Texans +1
The Key: Deshaun Watson is 2-1 as the starting quarterback of the Texans.

The Texans bounced back with the most impressive performance of Week 4, winning 57-14 at home against the Texans. Watson accounted for 5 total touchdowns, and the defense held the Titans to just 195 total yards while forcing 5 turnovers. Now the Texans still get no love from the books as home dogs here to the Chiefs. It's because the Chiefs are overvalued right now due to their 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS start, which included their miracle cover on Monday Night Football against the Redskins. Now the Chiefs are on a short week and playing their 2nd straight National TV game. The spot favors the Texans here.

6* Sunday NFL *UPSET SPECIAL* on Cleveland Browns +1
The Key: The Jets, Colts and Browns are the 3 worst teams in the NFL and it's very close between all 3 power-ratings wise. The Browns were favored at Indianapolis in Week 3, and now they're home underdogs to the Jets in Week 5. The Jets were 6.5-point home dogs to the Dolphins, and 3.5-point home dogs to the Jaguars. Now they're favored on the road here after winning those 2 games. Those games were terrible travel spots for the Dolphins and Jaguars. The Dolphins were on the road for 5 straight weeks since the preseason and were coming back from a West Coast trip to San Diego. The Jaguars were coming back from London. The line value is clearly with the home dog Browns here. They'll be desperate to get their first win, and I think they get it done. The Jets are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 following 2 consecutive home wins. New York is 5-20 ATS in its last 25 after gaining 6.25 or more yards per play in its previous game. Bets on any team with a poor offensive (14-18 PPG) against a poor defensive team (23-27 PPG), after a loss by 21 or more points are 23-5 ATS over the last 10 seasons. Take Cleveland.

6* NFL Blowout Game of the Week on Cincinnati Bengals -3
The Key: The Cincinnati Bengals are just 1-3 on the season, while the Buffalo Bills are 3-1. So the Bengals are undervalued right now, while the Bills are getting more love than they should be. The Bengals have played well the last two weeks against the Packers and Browns, and the switch to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor has made a huge difference. Andy Dalton has completed 81% of his passes the last 2 weeks and has thrown 6 touchdowns against zero interceptions. The Bills were fortunate to beat the Falcons last week because Atlanta lost its top 2 receivers in Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu, and they got a fluke defensive TD that should have been called an incomplete pass instead of a fumble by Matt Ryan. The true colors of these two teams will show this week as the Bengals are a playoff contender, while the Bills are frauds. And the Bengals have a bye next week so they want to go into it feeling good about the outlook of the rest of the season. Bets on all teams where the line is +3 to -3 after 4 consecutive games where they forced 1 or fewer turnovers against opponent after a game where they committed no turnovers are 36-13 ATS since 1983. Take Cincinnati.

Both defenses cannot continue to be as poor as they've been up to this point, especially the Patriots. The UNDER is 8-1 in Patriots last 9 games on grass. The UNDER is 4-1 in Bucs last 5 home games.

The Key: The fact that the Chargers are taking money and moving this line up to -2.5 is mind-blowing. The Eagles are clearly the better team in this matchup, and the Chargers simply find ways to lose. The Chargers are just 9-26 straight up over the past 3 seasons combined, winning roughly 25% of their games. They can't be favored here against an upstart Eagles team that is one of the most improved in the NFL this season. Philip Rivers should have already retired as he looks old and slow and has lost his arm strength. He threw three interceptions against the Chiefs last week and it could have been more. The Eagles are 8-0 ATS off 2 or more consecutive overs over the last 3 seasons. The Chargers have zero home-field advantage right now as the LA fans just aren't into them, especially after their 0-3 start. Los Angeles is 5-18 ATS in its last 23 home games.

And that's key because now the 49ers have extra rest and prep time to get ready for the Cardinals this week. The Cardinals have to work on a short week and try and recover from their 17-28 loss to the Cowboys on Monday Night Football. I do not think the 49ers should be catching a touchdown given this favorable situation for them. Arizona is 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games overall.

This guy just isn't getting the love he deserves from oddsmakers as the Texans are now a home dog to the Titans. Now Watson will have another healthy weapon back in Will Fuller, who is expected to make his season debut. Having Fuller, DeAndre Hopkins and Bruce Ellington gives the Texans one of the most underrated receiving corps in the league. The Titans are in a tough spot after a physical game against the Seahawks last week. And after beating Seattle, it's certainly a bit of a letdown spot for them here. Teams have not done well the week after facing Seattle over the past decade. The Texans have won 8 of their last 10 meetings with the Titans, and they are a perfect 5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home meetings. Take Houston.

The QB edge for the Packers here is worth at least 7 points. If Aaron Rodgers and the Packers get up 7 or more, the Bears won't be able to come back because Matt Glennon has been terrible, and he has the worst set of receivers in the NFL. The Bears can run the ball, but that's not going to work if they get behind. I think the Packers are by far the safer side here. Hanging with the Steelers and Packers in back-to-back games is just too much to ask for Chicago. Take Green Bay.

Now it's their home opener on the Monday night stage, and the Cardinals are primed for their best performance of the season. Dallas has a ton of injuries in the secondary, and the Cardinals' strength is their passing attack, so Carson Palmer is primed for a big game here. Trevor Siemian lit up Dallas' secondary last week, and he's one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL. The Cowboys lost that game 17-42. The Cardinals have one of the best defenses in the NFL after finishing #2 in total defense last year. They will be able to slow down Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot here Monday. Dogs are 12-3 ATS so far in Week 3, and I think this is another live home dog here tonight. Bruce Arians is 6-0 ATS as a home dog of 3 points or less as the coach of Arizona. Arians is 7-0 ATS against NFC East teams as the coach of the Cardinals. Take Arizona.

6* Sunday NFL *Total* Annihilator on Seahawks/Titans UNDER 42
The Key: The Seattle Seahawks have been terrible offensively this season because of their injuries along the offensive line. Russell Wilson has been running for his life, and the running game hasn't been able to get going. The Seahawks are only scoring 10.5 points per game and averaging 4.4 yards per play. But they have been elite defensively in giving up only 13.0 points per game. I think this will be a defensive battle with the Titans, who could be without RB DeMarco Murray and WR Corey Davis on offense. Seattle is 31-12 UNDER in its last 43 September road games. Take the UNDER.

6* Sunday NFL *UPSET SPECIAL* on Buffalo Bills +3.5
The Key: The betting public is all over the Denver Broncos in this game. They are coming off the most impressive win over the week in Week 2 with a 42-17 victory over the Cowboys. They have opened 2-0 at home, but now they are going on the road for the first time. And the Broncos have a massive game against Oakland on deck next week. This is the classic sandwich spot. The Bills have one of the best rushing attacks in the NFL, which makes this a good matchup for them because the Broncos had the 28th-ranked run defense last year. The Bills have an elite defense that can keep them in this game. They are only giving up 10.5 points, 234 yards per game and 4.1 yards per play. Take Buffalo.

7* AFC Game of the Month on Houston Texans +14
The Key: The New England Patriots have too many injuries right now to be favored by 14 over the Houston Texans. They have a handful of skill players on offense who are banged up, and the injuries on defense have led to the Patriots giving up 31 points, 483 yards per game and 7.8 yards per play. Their defense was terrible in the preaseson too. I think Deshaun Watson can make enough plays to keep this game close, while the Texans' defense remains one of the elite units in the league. Plus Watson gets some key weapons back this week in TE Ryan Griffin and WR Bruce Ellington. Also CB Jonathan Joseph is expected to return from injury. Take Houston.

7* Rams/49ers NFC West *HEAVY HITTER* on San Francisco +3
The Key: One of the biggest advantages in professional sports is home teams on Thursday night games. The short week for road teams is so tough because they have to travel and have almost zero time to prepare. I think the 49ers were impressive last week in their 12-9 road loss to the Seahawks as 14-point dogs. They have been able to get the running game going behind Carlos Hyde, who is averaging 7.0 yards per carry this season. The Rams gave up over 200 rushing yards to the Redskins last week. The 49ers have won 3 straight meetings with the Rams and are 6-2 SU & 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. They were home dogs to the Rams last season, and won 28-0. Take San Francisco.

7* Lions/Giants NFC *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 42.5
The Key: The New York Giants have one of the best defenses in the NFL. They held the Cowboys to just 19 points on the road last week despite their defense being on the field most the game. That's because their offense was awful, managing just a field goal in the 19-3 loss. They didn't have Odell Beckham in that game, and Beckham is going to be a game-time decision this week, so even if he plays he won't be 100%. The Giants will have to ride their defense again here. They hosted the Lions last year and won 17-6 for 23 combined points. I think we see a similar output here. The Lions scored 35 points last week, but they were gifted many of those points thanks to 4 turnovers by the Cardinals. Detroit is 7-0 UNDER in its last 7 games off a win. The UNDER is 20-7 in Lions last 27 road games. The UNDER is 8-2 in Giants last 10 games overall, including 4-0 in their last 4 home games. Take the UNDER.

The Key: The Dallas Cowboys went 6-1 SU & 5-1-1 ATS in meaningful road games last season where they played all of their starters. They dominated on the road, beating the likes of the Packers and Steelers along the way. The thing about the Cowboys is that their style of play travels well. Teams that can run the football can win on the road. And the Cowboys are probably the best in the league in that aspect. Plus, Dak Prescott doesn't make critical mistakes and takes care of the football. And the Cowboys should be able to run on a Broncos defense that ranked 28th in the NFL against the run last season. Jason Garrett is 15-5 ATS in road games in the first half of the season as the coach of the Cowboys. Take Dallas.

They are the better defensive football team in this matchup with the Titans. And the Jags have a new-found running game thanks to the upgrades they made along the offensive line and in the backfield with Leonard Fournette, who rushed for 100 yards in the win last week. The Jaguars beat the Titans 38-17 at home last year. The Titans are now 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in Jacksonville and 13-35-3 ATS in their last 51 division games overall. Take Jacksonville.

The Key: The Cleveland Browns gave the Pittsburgh Steelers all they could handle last week in a 21-18 home loss as 10-point dogs. The Steelers blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown, which was the difference in that game. They held a high-powered Steelers offense to just 14 points, while basically stopping Le'Veon Bell completely. The Bengals turned the ball over 5 times against the Ravens last week, yet the Ravens only scored 20 points. That just shows how bad of shape this Baltimore offense is in right now. That's why they can't be laying more than a TD against one of the most improved teams in the NFL in the Browns, who can keep this one close. The road team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. The Browns are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 trips to Baltimore. Take Cleveland.

I like the fact that the Texans will be going with Deshaun Watson tonight as his mobility will come in handy. The Bengals are missing their best player on D in Vontaze Burfict. The Bengals have a lot more talent on offense than they showed against a great Ravens defense last week. Both offenses will bounce back after subpar Week 1 performances, which is keeping this total lower than it should be. Bets on the OVER on road teams against the total (Houston) off an upset loss to a division rival as a home favorite, in the first half of the season are 30-6 over the last 10 seasons. Take the OVER.

But they lost 9 games by 8 points or less, so they had their chances in most games. Philip Rivers has some healthy weapons in Melvin Gordon and Keenan Allen entering 2017. They are far and away the better offensive team in this matchup, and their defense isn't far off from the Broncos. The Broncos even signed Brock Osweiler this offseason, which just goes to show how rough their QB situation really is. The Chargers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Week 1 games. Los Angeles is 8-2-4 ATS in its last 14 trips to Denver. Take Los Angeles.

They had the point differential of a team that should have been 9-7 or 10-6. Carson Wentz and company will take a big step forward this year. The Eagles have arguably the best offensive line in the NFL, and probably the 2nd-best defense in the NFC East. The Redskins have probably the 3rd-worst offense in the NFC East after losing Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson. They have easily the worst defense in this division. The Eagles want revenge after getting swept in the season series last year and losing 5 straight to the Redskins overall. Philly is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 September games. Take Philadelphia.

They had the 2nd-best defense and will be elite on D again in 2017. The Lions trailed in the 4th quarter in 15 of their 16 games last year yet still went 9-7. They clearly weren't as good as their record. Their defensive line is a mess heading into this game with 2 starters and 2 role players missing. They are also missing a starting offensive lineman. The Cardinals will win the battle in the trenches and thus win this game. The Cardinals are 7-0 SU in the last 7 meetings, going 6-1 ATS in the process. Take Arizona.

The Bengals will be missing 2 starters on defense in Adam Jones and Vontaze Burfict, which are 2 of their best players. The Ravens are underrated right now because Joe Flacco missed the preseason. But he's a veteran who doesn't need to practice time to come in and flourish. The Ravens are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 vs. AFC North foes. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

The Key: No Julian Edelman will make the Patriots a little less explosive this season. They will still have a good offense, but Edelman was Brady's favorite target, and he's irreplaceable. The Chiefs win with defense and special teams, because their offense is one of the least explosive in the NFL. Alex Smith is still lacking weapons at receiver. Tyreek Hill is more of a gimmick receiver, not a No. 1 guy. They lost Jeremy Maclin this season and have even worse talent at receiver than they did last year. Kansas City is 32-16 UNDER in the first 2 weeks of the season since 1992. The UNDER is 9-4 in Chiefs last 13 games overall. The UNDER is 4-1 in Patriots last 5 Thursday games. Take the UNDER.

7* ATL/NE Super Bowl *HEAVY HITTER* on New England -3
The Key: The Patriots have been on a mission all season to take out their frustration on the NFL pertaining from Deflategate that led to Tom Brady's 4-game suspension. All they've gone is taken out their frustration on opponents to the tune of a 16-2 SU & 15-3 ATS record on the season. Somehow they have been undervalued all season, and they continue to be in the Super Bowl as only 3-point favorites over the Falcons. The Falcons haven't seen a defense as good as the Patriots, which leads the league in scoring defense at 15.7 points per game. Both offenses are elite, but the difference in this game is going to be the Patriots' ability to get stops. The Falcons give up 24.8 points and 367 yards per game on the season. Tom Brady has only thrown two interceptions all season, and the team that has won the turnover battle has gone 37-4 in the Super Bowl. The Patriots winning the turnover battle and having the better defense is the difference Sunday. The Patriots are 10-1 ATS versus excellent offensive teams that average 6 or more yards per play over the last 3 seasons. Take New England.

7* NFL Playoffs Total of the Year on Steelers/Patriots UNDER 51
The Key: Both of these defenses are playing tremendous football down the stretch. The Patriots lead the NFL in scoring defense, giving up just 15.6 points per game on the season. They are allowing only 12.9 points per game in their last 8 contests. The Steelers are giving up only 16.6 points per game in their last 9 games, which is the biggest reason why they have won 9 straight. And the Steelers have had their struggles in the red zone, as evidenced by their 6 field goals against the Chiefs without a TD last week. The Patriots are the definition of a bend but don't break defense, and it will be hard for the Steelers to punch it in the end zone again this week. The UNDER is 20-7 in Steelers last 27 road games. The UNDER is 5-1 in Patriots last 6 conference championship games. The UNDER is 4-0-1 in Steelers last 5 playoff games. The UNDER is 6-0 in Steelers last 6 road games off a road win. Take the UNDER.

6* GB/ATL NFC *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 61.5
The Key: For starters, this is the second-highest total in NFL history. That fact alone shows that there is value on the under. The books have inflated this number because the betting public will be all over the 'over' in this game. I think there are some key injuries that will prevent both teams from racking up a ton of points in this game. The Packers are likely without Jordy Nelson and could be without Devante Adams, who have combined for 26 touchdown receptions this year. Julio Jones is expected to play, but he's nowhere near 100% for the Falcons. I realize these teams combined for 65 points earlier this season in a 33-32 Atlanta victory, but the box score shows that neither team moved the football all that well. The Packers only had 331 total yards in that contest while the Falcons had 367. Those are decent numbers for most teams, but not for the Packers and Falcons, who average 373 yards and 416 yards per game on the season, respectively. The Falcons have been better defensively down the stretch in allowing 20 or fewer points in 5 of their last 7 games. Atlanta is 6-0 UNDER after gaining 375 or more yards in 4 consecutive games over the last 3 seasons. The Falcons are 14-4 UNDER vs. teams who give up 24 or more points per game over the last 3 years.

The Cowboys went for 424 total yards and 191 rushing, absolutely dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. The team that wins the line of scrimmage usually proves victorious, and that will be the formula for the Cowboys again just as it has been all season. And the Packers have several key injuries at receiver and in their secondary. The Cowboys are very healthy coming into this game off their bye. The home team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. The Packers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 trips to Dallas. Take Dallas.

Matt Ryan threw for 335 yards and 3 touchdowns in his first meeting against the Seahawks in Seattle, a 24-26 loss. But I think Ryan and company get their revenge at home this time around.

6* Giants/Packers NFC *CA$H COW* on Green Bay -5
The Key: The Green Bay Packers have a huge edge on offense in this game. They have scored at least 30 points in 4 consecutive games and are clicking at the right time. Aaron Rodgers has 18 touchdowns and no interceptions over his last 7 games. The Giants do have the better defense, but their offense is so bad that I don't think they can take advantage of the Packers' defense. After all, they've failed to reach 200 passing yards in 5 of their last 6 games. The Giants get too much respect for what they've done in the playoffs in the past, but this is a different team, and Ben McAdoo is not nearly the coach that Tom Coughlin was before him, or Mike McCarthy on the other sideline. The Packers beat the Giants 23-16 at home earlier this season and outgained them by 185 yards. Rodgers had no problem against their defense, leading the Packers to over 400 yards of offense. The Giants are just 1-8-2 ATS in their last 11 road games against a team with a winning home record. Take Green Bay.

The Key: Matthew Stafford is 1-24 in his career on the road against a team that finished the season with a winning record. He simply has to do too much for the Lions, who are below-average at basically every other position on the field, especially defensively. They have allowed 73 points and over 800 yards of total offense in back-to-back losses to the Packers and Cowboys. The Lions are 0-5 against playoff teams this season, and 9-2 against everyone else. They have trailed in the 4th quarter in 15 of 16 games this year. I look for a big effort from the Seahawks here, who are 9-0 in their last 9 playoff home games. They are 7-1 at home this season. Anything short of a double-digit victory for the home side would be a shocker. Take Seattle.

6* Chiefs/Chargers AFC West *CA$H COW* on Kansas City -4
The Key: Now that this line has dropped back down to -4, I like the price we are getting with the Kansas City Chiefs here. They need to win this game and have the Raiders lose to the Broncos to get the No. 2 seed in the AFC. They will be motivated to hold up their end of the bargain, just as they were last week when they beat the Broncos 33-10. It was probably their most complete performance of the season as they outgained the Broncos by 238 yards in the victory. Their offense is rolling behind Tyreke Hill and Travis Kelce, and their defense is suffocating. The Chargers just want this season to be over. They have lost four straight while going 0-4 ATS coming in, including handing the Browns their first win of the season last week. The Chiefs own the Chargers, winning 5 straight meetings in this series, including a 33-3 road victory in their last trip to San Diego. The Chargers are dealing with more injuries to starters than any other team in the NFL right now. They just don't have enough proven, healthy bodies to offer any kind of resistance here. The Chiefs are 7-0 ATS in road games in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons. San Diego is 0-8 ATS in home games after failing to cover the spread in 4 or 5 of its last 6 games over the last 3 seasons. Kansas City is 8-0 ATS in road games vs. bad defensive teams that give up 24 or more points per game over the last 2 years. The Chargers are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 home games. The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Take Kansas City.

6* Sunday NFL *Total* Annihilator on Cardinals/Rams OVER 40.5
The Key: I like backing the OVER in games between teams with nothing to play for, as is the case here with the Cardinals and Rams. And this is one of the lowest totals of the week at only 40.5, so there is plenty of line value here. The Cardinals have been giving up a ton of points the last few weeks. They have allowed 32.7 points per game in their last 6 contests. They have given up 30 or more points in 5 of their last 8 games overall. I think Jared Goff will be in line for his best game of the season here. But Arizona's offense is clicking, scoring a combined 75 points the last two weeks. ANd the Rams haven't exactly been stout defensively. They have allowed at least 22 points in 5 straight games and an average of 32.6 points per game during this stretch. Given these numbers, it's clearly that the books have set this number too low here today. The OVER is 6-0 in Cardinals last 6 games overall. The OVER is 14-3 in Cardinals last 17 road games, including a perfect 7-0 this season. Take the OVER.

7* AFC West Game of the Month on Oakland Raiders +2
The Key: The Oakland Raiders have a lot to play for this week. They need to win to clinch the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. They also have an outside shot at getting the No. 1 seed if they win, but that would require a Patriots loss. Either way, they want this victory. Few backup quarterbacks can step into a situation and be as successful as Matt McGloin is going to be for the Raiders. That's because he has one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, perhaps the best duo at receiver in the league in Cooper and Crabtree, and plenty of help from the running game. He has started in this league before and will be up to the challenge. While the Raiders want this game badly, the Broncos could care less. They were just eliminated from the playoffs last week with their ugly 33-10 loss to the Chiefs. That came a week after another ugly 16-3 home loss to the Patriots. They won their Super Bowl last year, and the offseason can't get here soon enough for these players. The Broncos are going to be sitting some key starters on defense due to injury in S T.J. Ward, DE Derek Wolfe, LB Demarcus Ware and LB Brandon Marshall. That's only going to make McGloin's job even easier. The Raiders rushed for 218 yards in their 30-20 win over the Broncos earlier this season. They should find plenty of success on the ground against a Denver defense that gives up 135 rushing yards per game and 4.4 per carry on the season. Oakland is 9-1 ATS as a road underdog over the last 2 seasons. The Raiders are 9-1 ATS in all games where the line is +3 to -3 this season. The Broncos are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. a team with a winning record. Take Oakland.

6* DET/DAL NFC *CA$H COW* on Detroit +6.5
The Key: The Detroit Lions will be the more motivated team tonight. Win and they're in the playoffs as at least a wild card. But if they lose this game, they would need to beat the Packers next week to get in. I think they'd rather take care of their business now. The Dallas Cowboys literally have nothing to play for in this game. They have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC after events that took place over the weekend. They will be playing their starters, but they won't be playing with the chip on their shoulders that they have for most of the season. And the Cowboys are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall as they have been overvalued due to their fast start to the year. Last week's 6-17 loss at New York was the first time the Lions have lost a game by more than a touchdown since midway through last season. Matthew Stafford should be able to find plenty of success against a Dallas defense that allows 68.4% completions and 265 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks. The Lions are 27-12 ATS in their last 39 road games off a loss by 10 points or more. Detroit is 9-1 ATS vs. teams who complete 64% of their passes or better over the last 2 seasons. Jason Garrett is 11-26 ATS as a home favorite as the coach of Dallas. Take Detroit.

The Chiefs are only 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The road team has won 5 of the last 6 meetings between the Broncos and Chiefs while going a perfect 6-0 against the spread. Denver clearly should have won the first meeting this season as it outgained KC by 191 yards. Now the Broncos will have their revenge and keep their season alive in the rematch on the road at Arrowhead Stadium, which hasn't been as friendly to the Chiefs as most believe. Take Denver.

7* NFL Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Washington Redskins -3
The Key: I always look to back teams off a bad loss and fade teams off an emotional game. In this case, we have the perfect situation. The Redskins are coming off a bad home loss to the Panthers in which they lost by 11 as 7-point favorites. Now everyone is writing them off, but we've seen them bounce back before. They won four straight following their 0-2 start, and they have only lost two games in a row twice all season. Those were to the Steelers/Cowboys and Cowboys/Cardinals, so it's understandable. They aren't going to lose to the lowly 3-11 Bears this week as the Redskins need to win out to have any chance of making the playoffs. The Bears will be deflated following back-to-back heartbreaking losses to the Lions (by 3) and Packers (by 3). They fought back from a 17-point deficit to tie it against the Packers last week, only to lose on a last-second field goal. I don't think these players will be able to get back up off the mat from that crushing defeat against their biggest rivals. I fully expect a no-show from the Bears here. Washington is 7-1 ATS vs. teams who complete 61% or more of their passes this season. The Redskins are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss. Washington is a perfect 6-0 straight up in its last 6 meetings with Chicago. The Redskins are also 5-0 ATS in their last 5 trips to Chicago. Take Washington.

6* NY/PHI NFC East *CA$H COW* on New York Giants -1.5
The Key: The New York Giants have won 8 of their last 9 games with their only loss coming on the road to the Steelers, who are one of the best teams in the NFL. They are on a mission to make the playoffs and can clinch their spot in the postseason with a win today. That would allow them to rest their starters in Week 17, which would be huge for them to get healthy. The Eagles have lost 6 of their last 7 because of their awful defense, which has allowed at least 26 in six of those games. The Giants are 3rd in the NFL in scoring defense and have held their last 2 opponents in the Cowboys and Lions to an average of 6.5 points per game. I'll back the more motivated team here in the Giants with the much superior defense. Take New York.

7* Panthers/Redskins NFC *TOTAL* Annihilator on OVER 50
The Key: I don't expect much defense to be played in this contest between the Washington Redskins and Carolina Panthers tonight. These are two of the worst defenses in the NFL. The Panthers are giving up 25.9 points per game overall and 32.5 points per game on the road. The Redskins are allowing 24.4 points per game overall and 24.8 points per game at home. But these are more than capable offenses as the Redskins are averaging 27.5 points per game at home and the Panthers are scoring 23.9 points per game overall. There are key injuries on both defenses as the Redskins are going to be without LB Will Compton and S Su'a Cravens, while the Redskins are without DE Charles Johnson and could be without LB Luke Kuechly again. The OVER is 8-0 in Redskins last 8 home games. The OVER is 5-1 in Panthers last 6 road games. The OVER is 13-3 in Panthers last 16 vs. a team with a winning record. Take the OVER.

7* NFC Game of the Month on New York Giants -4
The Key: Matthew Stafford has a bum finger on his throwing hand that is going to limit what he's able to do against the Giants this week. It's not going to help having such cold weather in the Meadowlands, either. Stafford threw two interceptions against the Bears after injuring his finger last week. He needs to be at full strength for the Lions to have any chance of moving the football on a Giants defense that only allows 18.8 points per game this year. I look for Stafford to struggle, and the Lions don't have a running game to bail him out. The Giants are 6-1 at home this season and will take care of business on their home turf Sunday. Stafford has exactly one career road win over a team that finished with a winning record. The Lions will get exposed for the frauds that they are this week. Take New York.

The Key: Betting underdogs of this size in the NFL has been a very profitable move over the long haul. I especially like doing it when we're talking about division games. Even the worst teams get up for these division games, and I think the Rams will bring their best effort tonight. They have a new coach in John Fassel and a better outlook now with Jeff Fisher gone. The Rams have actually owned the Seahawks recently. They've won 4 of the last 5 meetings outright as underdogs. They won both meetings last year, and they won 9-3 at home this year over the Seahawks. The Rams have the defense that will keep them in this game for 4 quarters. I expect Jared Goff and Todd Gurley to make just enough plays to keep them competitive throughout. Take Los Angeles.

7* BAL/NE AFC *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 45
The Key: The Baltimore Ravens rank 1st in the NFL in total defense (296.1 YPG) and 1st in rushing defense (73.8 YPG). They have what it takes to hold this New England offense in check, especially since they're without Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola. New England's defense has been superb all season, giving up just 17.2 PPG overall and 16.3 PPG at home. The cold weather in New England will also play a role in keeping this game UNDER the number Monday night. The Ravens have failed to top 19 points in 6 games this season, which is half of them. The Ravens are 20-5 UNDER in their last 25 off 2 consecutive covers as a favorite. The UNDER is 4-1-1 in Ravens last 6 games overall. The UNDER is 7-2 in Ravens last 9 December games.

6* Falcons/Rams NFC *CA$H COW* on Los Angeles +6.5
The Key: Back-to-back blowout road losses have the betting public wanting nothing to do with the Rams. But they played in two tough environments against two great teams in the Saints and Patriots. Now they return home where they have been much more competitive this season. The Rams are only getting outscored by 3.0 points per game at home this year. Their defense has held opponents to just 15.0 points and 273.7 yards per game at home. And I think Jared Goff is primed for his best game yet against an Atlanta defense that allows 25.7 points and 392 yards per game on the road this year. And the Falcons are missing two of their best defensive players in CB Desmont Trufant and DE Adrian Clayborn. Offensively, they could be without both LT Jake Matthews and WR Mohamed Sanu, and WR Julio Jones is a game-time decision. He has a leg injury where he was visibly hobbled and ineffective against the Chiefs last week. It's hard to see him at 100% health a week later even if he plays. Jeff Fisher is 14-4 ATS off a loss by 14 points or more as the coach of the Rams. Dan Quinn is 3-12 ATS as a favorite as the coach of Atlanta. Quinn is 0-6 ATS off a loss by 6 points or less as the coach of the Falcons. The Rams are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The home team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Take Los Angeles.

6* Sunday NFL *UPSET SPECIAL* on Cleveland Browns +5.5
The Key: This is the Cleveland Browns' best chance to get a win this season. They got a much-needed bye last week to recover. Now they'll come back motivated to get that first win of the season against a division rival in the Cincinnati Bengals. And the Bengals are in no shape to be laying 5.5 points on the road here. They are without AJ Green and Giovani Bernard, arguably their two best weapons on offense. The fact that they handled the Eagles at home last week has only added to the line value here, but the Eagles didn't show up for that game. The Browns will show up this week, and they should have some new life now after the bye and with a new starting QB in Robert Griffin III, who started the season under center before getting hurt in his first game. Bets under underdogs or pick after 7 or more consecutive losses in the second half of the season are 96-54 ATS since 1983. Bets on underdogs or pick revenging a loss where opponent scored 28 points or more who are also winless on the season are 43-16 ATS since 1983. Take Cleveland, and don't hesitate to sprinkle in a little money line bet for part of it.

7* NFL Game of the Year on Tennessee Titans -1
The Key: Just imagine how excited the Tennessee Titans were over their bye last week. They haven't been in contention this late in the season for a long time as they are in a three-way tie for the AFC South lead with the Colts and Texans. They have had a bounce to their step all week leading up to this game, and they are primed for a huge performance at home against the Denver Broncos. The Titans have been the best team in the AFC South in my opinion. They have actually scored 11 more offensive touchdowns than they've given up to opposing offenses this year. Marcus Mariota has thrown at least two touchdown passes in 8 consecutive games. That's impressive when you consider the Titans are known for running the football, as they rank 3rd in the NFL in rushing at 141.5 yards per game. They will be able to exploit the weakness of the Broncos' D, which is their 28th-ranked run defense allowing 122.8 rushing yards per game and 4.2 per carry. The Broncos defense has to be fatigued after playing a combined 157 snaps over the past 2 weeks, which has to be some kind of NFL record. Their offense continues to put them in bad spots week after week. The Broncos have been outgained in 4 of their last 5 games. I just think the rest and motivational edges here for the Titans should warrant them being more than 1-point favorites. They essentially just have to win the game to cover this week, and win they will do. Take Tennessee.

7* AFC West Total of the Year on Raiders/Chiefs UNDER 46
The Key: I think points will be hard to come by in this game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders. First place is on the line in the AFC West, so the intensity will be high. And this is their 2nd meeting of the season, so the familiarity is clearly there. They combined for 36 points in their first meeting and a similar result can be expected in the rematch. They have combined for 44 or fewer points in 4 of the last 5 meetings as well. Temperatures are going to be around 10 degrees for kickoff with wind chills below zero. That's not exactly ideal scoring conditions, either. The Chiefs are 7-0 UNDER In home games vs. bad defensive teams who allow 24 or more points per game over the last 3 seasons. Oakland is 9-1 UNDER in its last 10 road games off 4 or more consecutive overs. The UNDER is 36-15 in Chiefs last 51 home games. The UNDER is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings in Kansas City. Take the UNDER.

7* IND/NYJ AFC *HEAVY HITTER* on New York +1.5
The Key: The biggest reason for the Colts having a better record to this point than the Jets is that they have played an easier schedule. They have played the 6th-easiest slate of games this season, while the Jets have played the 5th-hardest. I think we see the Jets rise to the occasion here on Monday Night Football as this may be the last time we get max effort out of them because they are on such a big stage. The Colts have been outgained in 7 of their last 8 games overall and just aren't a very good team, mainly because of their defense that ranks 30th in the league. And that defense has some huge injuries right now as LB Robert Mathis, S Clayton Geathers and CB Patrick Robinson are all expected to miss this game. Not to mention CB Vontae Davis is questionable with a groin injury that has made him ineffective in recent weeks. The Jets' defensive line has a huge advantage against the Colts' offensive line, which has given up 36 sacks this season. The Jets have been a great late-season bet as they are 10-1-2 ATS in their last 13 December games. Take New York.

6* Redskins/Cardinals NFC *CA$H COW* on Arizona -2.5
The Key: The Arizona Cardinals are the definition of a team that is better than their 4-6-1 record. The Cardinals actually rank 1st in the NFL in yardage differential while outgaining their opponents by 75.1 yards per game on average. They are 4th in yards per play differential as well, bolstered by their league-best defensive yards per play of just 4.7 allowed. The Cardinals will be giving it their all here as this is their last chance to turn their season around. They may need to run the table to make the playoffs. They are 2 games behind Washington for the final wild card spot in the NFC, and conveniently they play the Redskins here. You'll see some fire from this team Sunday as I expect a blowout. And this is a great matchup for the Cardinals because they are No. 1 in total defense and No. 2 against the pass, allowing just 195.1 passing yards per game. Washington is a pass-heavy team, and Kirk Cousins will have one of his worst performances of the season Sunday. Arizona is 41-22 ATS in its last 63 home games off 2 or more consecutive losses. Bruce Arians is 6-0 ATS against NFC East opponents as the coach of the Cardinals. Take Arizona.

6* Sunday NFL *Total* Annihilator on Lions/Saints OVER 52
The Key: Expect a good old fashioned shootout in the Superdome Sunday when the New Orleans Saints host the Detroit Lions. The Saints boast the league's No. 1 ranked offense that just put up 49 points on a good Rams defense last week. They still have one of the worst defenses in the NFL, and the Lions have faced the easiest opposing offenses of anyone thus far, so their defensive numbers aren't as bad as they will be in the coming weeks. The Over is 9-2 in Saints last 11 home games. They are combining with their opponents to average 64.7 points per game at home this season. The OVER is 34-14-3 in Lions last 51 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game. The OVER is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings, which included a 35-27 road victory by Detroit last season and 62 combined points. Take the OVER.

7* NFL Dog of the Year on Los Angeles Rams +13.5
The Key: The fact that the Los Angeles Rams got blown out by the Saints on the road last week has added value to this line. The betting public wants nothing to do with them after that blowout. But they will show up Sunday to face a team the caliber of the Patriots. And the Patriots just aren't the normal Patriots right now. They are without Rob Gronkowski because of a season-ending injury, and Tom Brady missed a lot of practice this week with a knee injury. The Patriots were lucky to win 22-17 over the Jets last week, and they lost their last home game to the Seahawks. They aren't going to win this game by 2 touchdowns, so they shouldn't be 13.5-point favorites in their current state. After all, the Patriots are just 11-25-1 ATS in their last 37 games as double-digit favorites. And Jeff Fisher has been dominant in the underdog role. Fisher is 14-3 ATS off a loss by 14 points or more as the coach of the Rams, and they're coming back to actually win these games 18.9 to 16.1 on average. Take Los Angeles.

The Vikings cannot move the football because they have no running game and their offensive line is so banged up that it's one of the worst in the NFL. The Cowboys have the best offensive line in the NFL and the best rushing attack. They can move the football on this Minnesota defense. This is a very small number for them to have to cover here in what is a complete mismatch on paper. The Cowboys are 9-1-1 ATS in all games this season. Dallas is 7-0 ATS in road games off a home win over the last 3 years. Take Dallas.

But their defense has been their downfall, giving up 30 or more points in 4 straight and 5 of their last 6 games overall. I expect this trend to continue as we see a shootout in Philadelphia tonight. The Eagles have had no problem putting up points at home as they average 27 points per game at home this season. Green Bay is 10-1 OVER in its last 11 road games after a road game where both teams scored 24 or more points. The Packers are 7-0 OVER in road games after allowing 30 points or more in 2 straight games. Green Bay is 8-0 OVER after a game with a turnover margin of -2 or worse over the last 3 seasons. Philadelphia is 6-0 OVER vs. terrible defensive teams that allow 6 or more yards per play over the last 2 years. This is a combined 31-1 angle backing the OVER. Take the OVER.

That was the start of a 9-game winning streak both straight up and ATS for the Cowboys. They are getting way too much respect from the books now as the Redskins were 3-point favorites in that first game, and now they're 7-point dogs in the rematch, a whopping 10-point swing. The Redskins continue flying under the radar as they've gone 6-1-1 SU & 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. Statistically these teams are very similar as the Redskins outgain teams by 48 yards per game and 0.4 per play while the Cowboys outgain teams by 65 yards per game and 0.3 yards per play. The Redskins are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 trips to Dallas, so clearly the Cowboys don't have much of a home-field advantage in this series at all. Take Washington.

The altitude will be a huge issue here as both of these teams will get fatigued in the second half. I expect the offenses to continue to roll in the second half, while the fatigue will hurt the defenses a lot more. You know the NFL wants to put on a show in Mexico City, so expect plenty of offensive fireworks in this game. Oakland is 10-1 OVER off one or more ATS wins over the last 2 seasons. Houston is 8-1 OVER in road games vs. teams who commit 60 or more penalty yards per game over the last 3 seasons. Take the OVER.

The Key: The Dolphins are getting way too much respect from oddsmakers after winning each of their last 4 games. But those are the only 4 games where they have had a completely healthy, intact starting 5 offensive line. They were down a few starters before that run, and now they'll be down a few starters again this week as both C Mike Pouncey and T Branden Albert are expected to miss this game. That's bad news for the Dolphins, who will be up against arguably the best defensive line in the league in the Rams. Jared Goff will give the Rams' offense a spark this week as he can't be any worse than Case Keenum was. And the Dolphins stayed out West after playing the Chargers last week and probably haven't been all that focused leading up to this contest with so many distractions. Miami is 1-8 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record in the 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons. The Dolphins are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 vs. a team with a losing record. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Take Los Angeles.

6* Sunday NFL *UPSET SPECIAL* on Jacksonville Jaguars +6
The Key: The Detroit Lions cannot be trusted to lay this kind of weight against anyone in the NFL. They may be 5-4 this season, but all 5 wins have come by 6 points or less. The only 6-point win came in overtime against the Vikings as the other 4 wins came by 4 points or fewer. Matthew Stafford has had plenty of late-game heroics to save this team, masking a defense that ranks 23rd in giving up 366.3 yards per game and 5.9 per play. The Jaguars have been better than their record, and they have the league's 8th-ranked defense in yielding 327.7 yards per game and 5.0 per play. They just have to quit turning the ball over, which has been their biggest problem. They are actually outgaining teams by 15.6 yards per game this season, while the Lions are getting outgained by 28.5 yards per game. Bets on dogs of 3.5 to 10 points off a loss by 3 points or less to a division opponent, winning 25% or fewer of their games playing a team with a winning record are 28-8 ATS since 1983. The Lions are 27-50 ATS in their last 77 games as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points. Take Jacksonville.

This is a mismatch on paper and it will be a mismatch on the field, too. Take Arizona.

This is the make-or-break game for the Panthers, who blew a 17-0 lead to the Chiefs last week and lost despite dominating that game.

This Bengals' offense should thrive now with Eiffert back in the fold because they already have a strong running game. The Giants cannot say the same as they average just 68 rushing yards per game.

But now Roethlisberger should be closer to full strength at today against the Dallas Cowboys in a game the Steelers are looking at like a must-win. After all, the Steelers are 7-0 in Roethlisberger's last 7 home starts. The Cowboys are 7-0-1 ATS this season and getting too much respect from oddsmakers now. It's time to fade them. Mike Tomlin is 9-1 ATS off 3 or more straight ATS losses as the coach of the Steelers. Take Pittsburgh.

6* NFC *CA$H COW* on Philadelphia Eagles +1.5
The Key: The Philadelphia Eagles will be playing with a sense of urgency today. After their 3-0 start, they have lost 4 of their last 5 games by a touchdown or less, and all 4 losses were on the road. So they have had a chance to win every game they've played this season, but they have just come up short in 50/50 games. At home though, there has been no such thing as a 50/50 game for the Eagles. They have absolutely dominated at home this season, going 3-0 while winning by an average of 20.3 points per game. They are holding opponents to just 7.7 points per game in their 3 home contests, which includes a 34-3 win over the Steelers. Look for the Eagles to right the ship today. The home team has won 7 of the last 9 meetings. Take Philadelphia.

7* NFL Non-Conference Game of the Month on Green Bay Packers -2.5
The Key: The Packers are just .500 at this late in the season for the first time since Aaron Rodgers' rookie year. Off two straight losses, it's clear that the Packers will be playing with a sense of urgency. Tennessee's Nissan Stadium will be turned into Lambeau Field South today as the Titans just have no home-field advantage at all. The only team they can beat at home is the Jaguars over the past couple seasons. Oh yeah, they also beat the winless Browns 28-26 earlier this season at home. The Titans are 12-36-3 ATS in their last 51 games overall and 15-34-3 ATS in their last 52 home games. Tennessee is 4-15 ATS in home games over the past 3 seasons alone, losing by an average of 8.1 points per game. The Packers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games, and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Take Green Bay.

7* Browns/Ravens AFC North Game of the Month on Cleveland +8
The Key: The Baltimore Ravens can't be trusted to lay this kind of weight. Not when they haven't blown anyone out over the past two seasons. The Ravens haven't won a game by more than 8 points in any of their last 24 games. They have been the kings of close games as 22 of those 24 games were decided by 8 points or fewer. Plus, the Ravens are coming off a huge win over the rival Steelers on Sunday, so they could come out flat here against the Browns. The Browns have at least been competitive in the majority of their games, and they will be again here tonight against the offensively-challenged Ravens. The Ravens are 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 home games. The road team is 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings. The Browns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 trips to Baltimore. Take Cleveland.

7* Bills/Seahawks MNF *HEAVY HITTER* on Buffalo +6.5
The Key: The Buffalo Bills are 4-4 this season and catching too many points here against the Seattle Seahawks. They have only lost one game by more than 6 points this season, and that was last week against the New England Patriots, who just cannot be stopped right now. But the Bills get back LeSean McCoy this week and add in Percy Harvin. Seattle is 4-2-1 this season, but two of its wins came by exactly 2 points at home against the Dolphins and Falcons. The Seahawks are broken offensively. They rank 29th in points per game (18.7) and 23rd in total offense. Their defense is missing DE Martellus Bennett and S Kam Chancellor as well. The Bills are averaging 29.3 points per game in their last 7 games since changing offensive coordinators. Buffalo is 6-0 ATS off 2 or more consecutive losses over the past 3 seasons, coming back to win by 14.6 points per game. Take Buffalo.

6* Sunday NFL *TOTAL* Annihilator on Titans/Chargers UNDER 47.5
The Key: The Titans have gone over the total in five straight games, while the Chargers have gone over the total in four of their last five games. Because of these recent over streaks, I think there is a ton of value with the UNDER this week as the Titans face the Chargers. Both of these teams like to control time of possession and they have this season. The Titans have done it with their running game, while the Chargers have done it with their short passing game. Both teams have been stout against the run, so it's going to be hard to get points in the red zone. The Titans only give up 82 rushing yards per game while the Chargers allow just 86 per game. The Chargers are 11-2 UNDER in home games after the first month of the season over the last 3 seasons. Take the UNDER.

6* Panthers/Rams NFC *CA$H COW* on Carolina -3
The Key: The Carolina Panthers are poised to make a run. They opened the season 1-5 but were clearly better than their record as they lost a few games they obviously shouldn't have. But then they had their bye week, and they returned with a dominant 30-20 home win over the Cardinals. Now they go on the road against a Los Angeles Rams team that simply isn't very good. The Rams have lost three straight coming in. Their offense is one of the worst in the NFL as they average just 17.1 points and 308 yards per game. The Panthers average 27.3 points and 388 yards per game, and some of that has even been without Cam Newton due to injury. But they just put up 30 points on a very good Arizona defense last week and even had to settle for three field goals. Newton and Jonathan Stewart are back now and rushed for 141 yards on Arizona last week. The Rams love to run the ball with Todd Gurley, but the Panthers only give up 80 rushing yards per game and 3.3 per carry. The Panthers are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take Carolina.

7* NFC East Game of the Year on New York Giants -3
The Key: The New York Giants are showing great value as 3-point favorites over the Philadelphia Eagles today. They should be much bigger favorites here. They enter on a 2-game winning streak and are coming off their bye week to get healthy. The Eagles have lost 3 of their last 4 and just aren't playing well right now. They are also coming off an overtime game against the Cowboys, and it's going to be tough to bounce back from that against a Giants team off their bye. The Giants are 2-1 at home this season and outgaining teams by 76 yards per game. The Eagles are 1-3 on the road and getting outgained by 81 yards per game. This is a very short price for the Giants at home given the situation. Take New York.

7* ATL/TB Thursday NFL *HEAVY HITTER* on Atlanta -3.5

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting outgained by 0.9 yards per play on the year, which is the second-worst mark in the NFL. I think this is an absolute mismatch, especially with the Bucs' top 3 running backs out due to injury. The Oakland Raiders put up 626 yards of offense on the Bucs last week. The Bucs' defense was on the field for a long time in the OT loss, which works against them on this short week. The Falcons have the league's top scoring offense and total offense and should shred the Bucs just as the Raiders did. Tampa Bay is 18-43-1 ATS in its last 62 home games, and 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS at home this season. Take Atlanta.

The UNDER is 5-1 in Bears last 6 division games, and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in this series. The Vikings lead the NFL in scoring defense and total defense. But the Vikings are just No. 31 in total offense. And the Bears are last in the NFL in scoring offense. This game sets up to be an ugly, low-scoring defensive battle once again. Take the UNDER.

The Key: These teams just played two weeks ago in a 21-13 home win for the Chargers and 34 combined points. With their familiarity with one another, it's simply hard for either team to score points. The Broncos still have one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Chargers' defense has been better ever since Joey Bosa entered the lineup, and now corner Brandon Flowers is expected to return this week to give them a boost. The UNDER is 20-6-1 in Chargers last 27 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game. The UNDER is 4-0 in Broncos last 4 games overall. The UNDER is 11-4-1 in Broncos last 16 home games. The UNDER is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings. Take the UNDER.

I just don't like the Jets' locker room right now after Ryan Fitzpatrick called out coaches and management for benching him. Meanwhile, Hue Jackson has the Browns playing hard every week. And now Josh McCown, their best quarterback, returns to the lineup this week. He will make a big difference for this team and I upgrade the Browns a couple points with him at QB for sure. The Jets are 1-4 ATS as a road favorite under Todd Bowles, losing three of those games outright. Take Cleveland.

The Arizona Cardinals are coming off an overtime tie against the Seahawks and are clearly not in the best shape right now mentally and physically after that contest. The Panthers are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 home games following a road game. Cam Newton is 7-1 ATS in his last 8 home starts. The Cardinals are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing 9 points or fewer in their previous game. Take Carolina.

That's the same Colts team that just beat the Titans 34-26 in Tennessee last week. The Titans are awful at home as they are 1-3 with their only win coming by 2 points over the Browns. They are 2-9 ATS at home over the past 2 seasons and 14-34-3 ATS in their last 51 home games. The Titans are also 1-12 ATS in their last 13 division games. The Jags give up just 4.9 yards per play on defense while the Titans allow 5.9 yards per play. I'll back the better defense here catching 3.5 points. Take Jacksonville.

Denver ranks No. 4 in total defense while Houston ranks No. 7 in total defense. Houston's offense is averaging less than 5 yards per play and Denver's defense gives up 4.7 yards per play. The Texans only average 5.4 yards per pass play while the Broncos rank 1st in the NFL against the pass, giving up only 183 yards per game. Points will be at a premium tonight. The UNDER is 5-1 in Texans last 6 games following a win. The UNDER is 5-0 in Broncos last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. The UNDER is 10-4-1 in Broncos last 15 home games. Take the UNDER.

6* Chargers/Falcons Non-Conference *CA$H COW* on San Diego +6.5
The Key: All four of San Diego's losses this season have come by 6 points or less, so that fact alone shows that the Chargers are undervalued. The Falcons have gone 5-0 SU & 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games, so they are getting too much respect from oddsmakers now. Keep in mind that all 5 of those wins were as underdogs, but now the Falcons are 6.5-point favorites over the Chargers. That's important because the Falcons are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorites, while the Chargers are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. The Chargers also get extra time to prepare for this game after beating the Broncos 21-13 last Thursday. Take San Diego.

Now they get to face the lowly 49ers, who have just kept getting crushed week after week. The 49ers are 0-5 SU & 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall, losing all five games by at least 7 points, and losing four times by at least 12 points. Their defense just gave up 491 total yards, including 312 rushing, in a 16-45 loss at Buffalo last week. San Francisco is 0-6 ATS after allowing 35 points or more last game over the past 3 seasons. It is losing by 12.3 points per game on average. Take Tampa Bay.

6* Bills/Dolphins AFC East *CA$H COW* on Miami +3
The Key: The Miami Dolphins had their starting five offensive linemen for the first time last week against Pittsburgh. That's why it is no surprise that they put forth their best performance of the season offensively. They beat the Steelers 30-15 behind 474 yards of total offense, including 222 rushing. Their defense also played very well, limiting the Steelers to just 297 total yards and forcing two turnovers. But the Dolphins aren't getting any love from oddsmakers this week as home underdogs to the Bills, who are getting too much respect due to winning four straight games coming in. They beat the Cardinals thanks to 5 turnovers from Arizona, the Patriots with 3rd-string QB Jacoby Brissett, the Rams without 3 of their top defensive linemen, and the hapless 49ers and Colin Kaepernick. So, they've simply benefited from an easy schedule, but now they face a Dolphins team that is as healthy as they've been all season. Buffalo is 5-15 ATS in its last 20 games following four or more consecutive wins. The Bills are expected to be without two key players in RB LeSean McCoy and DT Marcell Dareus, who are both doubtful. Rex Ryan is 1-9 ATS in road games vs. good rushing teams who average 4.5 or more yards per carry as a head coach. Take Miami.

The Key: There's no way the Packers should be this big of favorites when you consider the injuries they are dealing with right now. They will be without their top 3 cornerbacks, and Eddy Lacy and James Starks are both expected to miss this game. It's no wonder they lost to the Cowboys by 14 points Sunday with all the guys they were missing. And the Packers haven't beaten anyone by more than 7 points this season. The Bears are better than their 1-5 record as they are outgaining teams by 34 yards per game and have outgained their last 3 opponents by 343 combined yards. Brian Hoyer has thrown for at least 300 yards in 4 straight games. He will have a big day against this beat-up Packers' secondary, and the Bears will have a great shot to pull off the upset because of it. The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings, including a 17-13 outright win as 7.5-point road dogs by the Bears last season. Take Chicago.

The Key: The New York Jets are a mess right now. They are 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS in their last 3 games while getting outscored a combined 33-82 in the process. The Arizona Cardinals are just 2-3, but they are clearly better than their record. The Cardinals are outgaining teams by 55 yards per game and outscoring them by nearly 5 points per game. The Jets are getting outgained by 19 yards per game and getting outscored by nearly 9 points per game. New Yoprk has all kinds of injury problems too. LB David Harris is doubtful, WR Eric Decker is out, and CB Darrelle Revis, C Nick Mangold and DE Sheldon Richardson are all questionable. Carson Palmer makes his return from a concussion tonight, and the Cardinals are extra rested after playing last Thursday. Without Decker, Arizona can put Patrick Peterson on Brandon Marshall, and the Jets are really going to have a hard time moving the football tonight. Bets against road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after scoring 14 points or less last game against opponent after scoring 30 points or more last game are 43-17 ATS over the last 10 seasons. The Cardinals are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 vs. a team with a losing record. Take Arizona.

The Key: The Packers are outscoring opponents by nearly 14 points per game in the 1st half of their last 17 home games. They still have one of the best home-field advantages in the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys will get a reality check today. Dak Prescott is going to have to do more than he's used to today, as he has thrown just 5% of his passes more than 20 yards down field. He's doing the dink and dunk thing well, but he'll be forced to play from behind in this game. The Packers will stop the run as they rank 1st in the NFL against the run, giving up only 43 yards per game and 2 yards per carry. That will be the difference. Take Green Bay.
