2 units on Los Angeles -3 (-109)

The December version of the Chargers is akin to Reggie Jackson in baseball. Jackson was Mr. October and the Chargers own the month of December. The Redskins dropped th...

Sunday 01/03 01:00 PM Eastern
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...

Sunday 01/03 01:00 PM Eastern
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...

Sunday 01/03 01:00 PM Eastern
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...

Dallas at Washington
Sunday 12/27 08:20 PM Eastern
5 units on Washington +8 (-125)

Buy low, sell high. This one sets up as a classic NFL overlay. Dallas is off their biggest win of the season beating the then 13-0 Saints on the road. The Cowboys were so "...

New York at Washington
Monday 12/21 08:35 PM Eastern
3 units on Washington +3 (-115)

Minnesota at Carolina
Sunday 12/20 08:20 PM Eastern
5 units on Carolina +9 (-105)

5 units on Cincinnati +7 (-115)

We banked on San Diego last week, taking them as an underdog vs. Dallas. I said last week that line was just off as San Diego was the better team getting a field goal. Well, aft...

Saturday 12/19 08:20 PM Eastern
4 units on Game Total UNDER 54 -110

The expected shootout between Dallas and San Diego never materialized last week and we cashed on the UNDER in that one. I'm again going to fade the expected high-scoring out...

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

We were on Arizona big last week. I liked the Cardinals in that spot vs. the then-one loss Vikings. Arizona was coming on and Minnesota was overrated. The Cardinals dominated th...

4 units on Seattle +8 (-130)

5 units on Kansas City +6 (-105)

Tampa Bay at Carolina
Sunday 12/06 01:00 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

Josh Freeman has turned the Bucs into a competitive team. Prior to his taking over under center, this team was getting blown out week after week. They lost their first six games...

3 units on San Francisco -3 (-120)

4 units on Game Total UNDER 48 -105

When you think of the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans, the first thing that comes to mind is offense. But, that can mislead you. The Colts own the #1 ranked defense in...

Miami at Buffalo
Sunday 11/29 01:00 PM Eastern
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

Washington at Philadelphia
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)

Denver hit a low last week. After a 6-0 start, they have lost four in a row, the last game a 32-3 drubbing that allowed San Diego to take over the division lead - something that...

Sunday 11/22 01:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Buffalo +9 (-115)

3 units on Miami +3.5 (-110)

Dallas at Green Bay
Sunday 11/15 04:15 PM Eastern
Multiple Picks

Going all the way back to the 60's and the Ice Bowl, this has been a heated rivalry as these teams often met in the playoffs. Dallas has had the upper hand of late, but most...

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

So much in the NFL is predicated on what happened in the previous week, and that has now taken hold of the Tennessee Titans. This is a team that started 0-6. But two wins vs. Sa...

3 units on Game Total UNDER 47.5 -109

Sunday 11/15 01:00 PM Eastern
4 units on Game Total UNDER 51 -110
