4 units on New England +9 (-130)

I’m kind of surprised to see this line as the oddsmakers are speculating that the Patriots, like the Colts, will lie down here. What they are missing is that it simply isn...

4 units on Game Total UNDER 48 -109

The Vikings offense has been tailing off of late anyway and with the onset of week 17, it may not be a full game for the starters. This team was averaging 31 points per game thr...

3 units on Miami +3 (-105)

The ride is essentially over for both of these teams, but they cling to the long shot which will keep some interest here. The Steelers have fallen dramatically since claiming th...

Monday 12/21 08:35 PM Eastern

Arizona at San Francisco
Monday 12/14 08:35 PM Eastern
5 units on San Francisco +5 (-115)

2 units on Buffalo +3.5 (-105)

29

Seattle at St. Louis
Sunday 11/29 01:00 PM Eastern
4 units on Game Total UNDER 42.5 -109

Sunday 11/29 01:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Washington +11 (-125)

Yes, the Redskins are in shambles. They have a lame duck head coach and they can't score. They are coming off a game in which they scored 6 poitns. This all makes them a goo...

New York at Denver
Thursday 11/26 08:20 PM Eastern
3 units on Denver +7 (-135)

Buffalo at Tennessee
Sunday 11/15 01:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Buffalo +9 (-130)
