PLACE YOUR BETS!!! Yet
again Vegas took us for a spin and dropped our overall record to now three
games below the .500 mark. Usually the last quarter of the season is the most
difficult to predict, and that seems to be the case in most betting circles
this year. Nevertheless, we will not be defeated and will get back on track
this week. There will always be ups and downs during the NFL betting season,
but we surely believe this week will generate good earnings in the bank
account. Let’s get to it…

With Thursday Night Football now compete for another season,
Saturday will serve up another two contests to get week 16 kicked off. The
Titans continue to be one of the most difficult teams to predict but seem to
have found their run attack which could carry the club moving forward. The
Redskins with journeyman Josh Johnson found a way to victory last week against
a deflated Jaguars club that gave little resistance. There is no question that
Tennessee should ride Derrick Henry in this match much like the last two weeks
but winning this one by 10 points, seems quite high for our liking. With that
said, the Titans playoff lives hang in the balance and should give everything
they have at home.

This could become a very entertaining matchup to finish off the
Saturday double header as the Ravens travel to LA to face the Chargers.
Baltimore underperformed on both sides of the ball last week verse a Buccaneers
squad that should’ve been easily beatable. The Chargers on the other hand
continue to roll and will have the pleasure of added rest while not having
played since last Thursday. With Melvin Gordon poised to return to the field,
LA should ease him back to his regular workload. Even as the Ravens defense
didn’t show that killer instinct a week ago, they still are one of the leagues
best units. This contest should see a great deal of running and time of
possession. The Chargers should come away with the win, but it will be by a
field goal.

The spread is surly based off the performances of both these teams
from last week which saw the Giants lay a goose egg and the Colts shut down the
Cowboys. Indy has been a vastly improved unit that looks to sneak into the
postseason to which they could potentially do some damage. The Giants season is
all but over and look to be without Odell Beckham once again for this match.
Vegas is baiting the public with another big spread believing Saquon Barkley
will be held in check for a second straight week. Its difficult to argue the
talents of the Colts at home, as they seem like a completely different team. We
may regret this one after all is said and done, but we have little choice with
no OBJ on the field.

The Philly Eagles did the unthinkable last Sunday Night and
displaced the Rams quite handily. The Houston Texans barley came away with a
victory against the Jets looking rather pedestrian in the process. With Deshaun
Watson and the Texans taking travel to the city of brotherly love, we find it
quite difficult to witness Houston muster a perfect game against Nick Foles and
this resurgence. The Eagles are far from a polished product themselves but seem
to have life with Foles back under center. If this contest was being played in
Texas, we might be more inclined to side with Houston, but we will gamble with
Foles again this week.

The Jaguars continue to prove that they have no interest in
playing football for the remainder of the 2018 season and would like nothing
more than to end it all as soon as possible. The Dolphins on the other hand
still have a shot at making the playoffs and should put their best foot forward
on Sunday. Four points still seems a little ambitious for the Fins to cover as
the Jags still possess a very solid defense if they chose to come out and play.
Coach Gase should employ a run heavy approach which could open- up the play
action pass as the game moves forward. With no offense to speak of for
Jacksonville, Miami should be able to win this one on home turf.

With the Packers being eliminated from playoff contention last
week at the hands of the Bears, speculation has risen that shutting down Aaron
Rodgers might be in the best interest of the team. With recent reports showing
that Aaron has been playing injured for several weeks, questions arose to if
he’d even suit up for this one. The Jets have given their best efforts and
looked much better last week but again fell short showing their inadequacies as
a team. With Rodgers on the practice field on Thursday, we can’t see any
situation where he doesn’t have a solid contest, even in New York.

The Cleveland Browns and Baker Mayfield have been rolling, showing
that he indeed was the right selection at first overall in the draft. Hosting
divisional foe, the Bengals, Vegas is throwing up a massive spread in hopes
that most will take the bait. The Bengals Jeff Driskel has looked quite
impressive these last few weeks after taking over from Andy Dalton, while the
run game with Joe Mixon has been exploited to perfection. Through we can easily
see the Browns winning this match, covering nearly 10 points might be a little
rich. This appears as straight bait and we can’t take the candy.

With Vegas unwilling to offer any spread for this contest between
the Cowboys and the Buccaneers, it becomes a straight pick-em game on Sunday.
We haven’t been able to locate any information to understand why they choose to
not provide a spread, but this goes in the favor of the betting public if you
can find someone to take this bet. Dallas is coming off an embarrassing loss at
the hands of the Colts and should be geared up for this one at home in Texas
stadium. Tampa Bay is a team that will compete but fades into the sunset as the
game rolls on. We are very comfortable in choosing the Cowboys at home in a
straight-up victory.

The Detroit Lions are coming off a one-point loss at the hands of
the Buffalo Bills showing they are not a sound unit as we enter the last couple
games. The Vikings are a squad that have been up and down all season never
really showing utter dominance that we all expected when Cousins signed his big
contract. Encouraging signs from last weeks blowout victory, Minnesota
established the run game with Dalvin Cook which opened-up everything positive
offensively. We fully expect the Vikings to come out strong with the run game
leading the way, while seeing a large number of points on the board again.
Minnesota keeps their playoff hopes alive.

The Buffalo Bills look like a much better team with Josh Allen
being allowed to do what he does best. There are many aspects to his game that
require refinement, but the potential looks bright if he can continue to
progress. The Patriots on the other hand look like a team that was once high
and mighty, now ready to take the inevitable stages of decline after witnessing
less than impressive work these last few weeks. While the Bills take travel to
New England, which is never an easy task, seeing two touchdowns be the outcome
could be a little large for us to accept. New England should be able to get by
the Bills quite easily, but we will bet against a 14-point spread.

The Carolina Panthers started the season on fire closing out clubs
and seeing a win column that would challenge for the division, only to see a
monumental collapse unlike anything we can remember. With Cam Newton obviously
playing hurt for a several weeks, the Panthers have chosen to shut him down
with no hope at the playoffs. The Atlanta Falcons too have been a
disappointment this year never reaching their full potential. Even as this game
sees two clubs in a meaningless contest, Atlanta still has the troops on the
field while the Panthers do not.

Some may try and argue, but we are getting onboard with the
prospects of the Bears actually being Super Bowl contenders with the fantastic
play of their defense. We haven’t heard much on the health of their all-star
safety Eddie Jackson, as that would be a massive loss if he indeed misses time.
Even still, Khalil Mack is a beast in his own right and shouldn’t have much
issue verse this 49er offensive line. The 49ers on the other hand have been
playing great football at home winning their last two against the Broncos and
the Seahawks. While those two games were impressive victories for a team that
has been relegated to a third string quarterback, the Bears are elite on
defense and will make them pay.

Here we see another game that shows no line from Vegas as we
believe they are waiting on the injury report for Todd Gurley’s status. For
argument sake and collecting statistics for this match and treating it as a
pick-em contest, even without the great Todd Gurley, the Rams will feast on the
lowly Cardinals. The Rams require a tune up to help this offense get out from
whatever rock they have fallen under, and this game should see them work some
magic.

Much like the Rams, something has broken with the Saints offense
as they don’t appear as dominating as they once were. Returning home is
extremely important for this team to get back on track but facing the Steelers
and their high-powered offensive unit, we could see fireworks for most of the
day. Its clear that Vegas is trying to gain funds on the money line toward the
Saints as they have been unstoppable at home this season. Even though we
dislike the long travel miles the Steelers will endure, Big-Ben and Antonio
Brown should be more than ready for this one to show the NFL they are one of
the best. This game could go either way, and we can’t see it being won with
more than a touchdown.

The last Sunday Night Football contest of the season will see the
Chiefs travel to the twelfth man to take on the Seahawks who have been very
impressive this season. Even as the Hawks dropped a very winnable game to the
49ers last week, playing in Seattle gives them a definite edge verse most
clubs. Unfortunately for the Hawks, their opponent this week is Patrick Mahomes
and the Chiefs who will be looking to rebound after dropping an important game
against the Chargers. While the Chiefs haven’t looked like the high-flying unit
on offense either since Kareem Hunt was released, they should be ready to walk
into Seattle and walk out with a win. Russell Wilson will give his best effort
but will come up short.

The Final Monday Night Football game of the 2018 season will see
two teams that have lost their playoff aspirations with underachieving squads.
The Raiders went into full rebuild mode before the year began, while the
Broncos failed to generate anything with their season sitting in the balance.
Even with rumors that Denver will relieve coach Joseph at seasons end, we can’t
see them allowing this Oakland team to put a stamp on his tenure. Denver should
be able to produce much more with no pressure on their shoulders.
