Saturday 01/10 04:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Baltimore +3 (-120) (risk 3 to win 2.5)

It's easy to look at the numbers of Ravens rookie QB Joe Flacco and say he will be overmatched here by the Titans defense. To some degree, in their early season matchup, he ...

Sunday 12/28 01:15 PM Eastern
3 units on Buffalo +6 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)

Buffalo at Denver
Sunday 12/21 04:05 PM Eastern
5 units on Buffalo +7 (-120) (risk 5 to win 4.2)

These teams started out the season getting a lot of ink and even Super Bowl talk. But that talk certainly faded from the Bills camp as a 5-1 start became a 1-7 disaster. The Bil...

4 units on New York Giants +3 (-115) (risk 4 to win 3.5)

Denver at Carolina
Sunday 12/14 04:15 PM Eastern
4 units on Game Total UNDER 48 -110

I talk about it nearly every week, but no one (at least not the oddsmakers) is listening! Denver is NOT an offensive powerhouse! They are not even above-average. The Broncos loo...

Sunday 12/14 04:15 PM Eastern
5 units on Oakland +7 (-110) (risk 5 to win 4.6)

Seattle at St. Louis
Sunday 12/14 01:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Game Total UNDER 42 -110

What can be said about the Rams offense? It's simply as inept as it gets. They made it into the end-zone once last week. And that was an improvement! Over the four previous ...

Sunday 12/14 01:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Houston +3 (-105) (risk 3 to win 2.9)
