Taking the RAVENS. Can't trust the Jets to hang tough here. Baltimore playing for home field throughout the playoffs and needs every win. Short week for NY who fought battle with Miami. Baltimore a little bit of an easier go pulling away from the Bills. Big coaching mismatch here. I'm laying it. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS 

Taking the RAMS. Wilson and Seattle crushed my dreams last week on Minny. My Vikings NFC North ticket dangling in the wind. So yea, I will grab LAR here. I know I have kicked their teeth in at times this year saying they aren't a great team. From Super Bowl to possibly not making the playoffs. But man oh man, it seems like Seattle is playing with fire every game. Forget fire. TNT. I dunno, something worse. No Theilen or however you spell his name at WR. Cook goes out. That is a game changer. They eked out a win at home over LAR when Greg the Leg missed a game winning FG. Good for us as we had Seattle ML. But as I said - Seattle playing a little to close to the edge. OT to beat Tampa, Lost to Baltimore. Lost to Bridgewater Saints. Nearly lost to Bengals. 2pt win on the road at Pitt when Big Ben got hurt. OT win on the road at SF. 27-10 was their easiest win at Arizona. Heck 17-9 at Philly was painful to watch. I just can't see them catching every break all season long. 5* Best Bet LA RAMS

Taking the JAGS. Who the heck are the Chargers to be laying again on the road. It was 14-0 Denver before you settled in last week. (we had Broncos) Going to sprinkle in some ML here. Rivers looks done. Lynn should be fired before Garrett. LAC finds interesting ways to lose games on a weekly basis. Seems like every game is decided by one score. Give me a the home dogs with a QB with something to prove. 10* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Taking the JETS. Miami approaching a little danger zone with these wins now. A game behind these NY Jets. Game behind the Jags, Chargers and Broncos. Tied with the Falcons, Lions and Redskins. A game ahead of the Giants. For a team tanking,  you aren't even in the Top 3 and might be out of the Top 10 if you keep notching Ws. Had the Jets in Miami last time they played. I know they are off a brutal loss. But, that is what every saw last. Jets losing to win-less Cincinnati. Sign me up. Gase vs old team. December at Meadowlands never a fun trip for a Miami team. 4* Money Maker NY JETS

Taking the BRONCOS. One thing about these guys. The defense comes to play every week. KC only team to put up more than 27. Denver has 4 wins. Getting 8 point they would have covered half their other games. Buff 20-3, KC 30-6 the two big losses. 27-16 at GB, but Pack hit a late FG. Also, 24-16 L at Oakland. Bottom line. They show up. I don't put this team in the KC or Buff circle. Texans in off the Sunday night game. Which right now, is them owning Brady and the Patriots 21-3 last 3rd. We get a nice inflated line for a team with a solid defense. Also, with a new rookie QB in place, not much tape available on Lock. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

Taking the BILLS. 9-3 and getting totally disrespected at home. I get the Ravens are good. Baltimore had me fooled into laying the points last week vs a pretty good SF team. I know BLT is tough - but come on, this number, on the road? I'm not buying. I will buy the nice extra rest for Buffalo. And BLT off a physical game vs SF won on a last second FG. Bills quietly a very good defense that doesn't give up much yardage. #3 in the league at barely 300 a game. I'll grab the points and win ugly with these guys. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS

Taking the LIONS. I'll grab whatever points I can get here. Short week for Minny. Long extra rest for the Lions. Hope we get Blough again. Kid looked good in spots. This is just way too many points for a rested team with a QB you have never seen to be getting. Lions playing with house money Blough with extra time under his belt might be able to hang for a bit. Again, getting more than 2 TDs, the back door is tough to slam. 4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS 

4* Total Money UNDER Ravens/ Bills

4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS

Taking the SAINTS. Tough spot again for San Fran. Off a tough Ravens game - now coming to the dome to face Brees and Payton. This is a pretty short number. Normally I shy away from the long hanging fruit. But people will be all over SF for a second week in the row in a dog role. A little extra rest with the Thanksgiving Game in Atlanta, and this should be a nice cash. 8* Sure Shot 

Taking the COWBOYS. This is it. Do or die time for Dallas. No more games for their HC. Lose year, you are getting canned before flying home. Both teams rested. Do we expect Mitch to repeat his Thanksgiving day performance. No. Do we expect Dak to repeat his. No. We expect Dak to do his usual thing which would be not turn the ball over. Go for 300 2 TDs and feed Zeke for 100+ and another 2 TDs. Circle the wagons game for Dallas. 5* Best Bet DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Total Money UNDER Boys/ Bears

Taking the VIKINGS. I like this team. Have them winning the North. They are off their bye. They come in with the better defense. Better rushing game. And getting healthy at WR. Only reason this is +3 and not ML, the QBs. Wilson, a one man terror in prime time. Cousins. Well - not so much save for that Dallas win. Still like our chances as Seattle has been suspect here at home. Should have lost to the Rams. Could have lost to the Bengals. Did lose to the Saints. Lost to the Ravens. Need OT to beat Tampa. Give me the points and don't be shocked at an outright win. 10* Money Bomb MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

4* Total Money OVER Pats/ Texans

4* Total Money UNDER Chargers/ Denver 

Taking DENVER. I don't even know who is QBing this game. Lock maybe? Who knows. Allen was brutal last week. But this is in Denver. Cold. Snow. Not Sunny and nice San Diego or LA where these Chargers enjoy life. How invested are they in this game? The season is lost. Rivers looks like he got old overnight. Just hand the ball to Lindsay and Freeman. Heck short flares to Sutton and Font. This is where we buy on Denver since they were so putrid last week. Maybe an outright win here. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

Taking ARIZONA. How are the Rams favored here? Did you miss MNF? Or SNF? This is a team in trouble. Give me the Cards and any points off their bye week. ARZ has won 3 of their last 7 games with a pair of 3 pt losses. They have shown me more than enough fight after some bad games. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA CARDINALS 

Taking the JETS. Had them last week, will back them again. So Andy Dalton is back. Does it matter? This team is all but happy to be locked into the #1 draft pick. I have said before I am shocked they didn't trade away their veterans. Jets putting together some wins no as the schedule gets favorable, and guys get healthy. If NYJ want to make some wild-card noise, this is a must win with Miami on deck. 4* Money Maker NY JETS 

Taking the CAROLINA PANTHERS. Redskins with a win last week and Haskins taking selfies on the field as a celebration. Wow. Needed an INT to seal the win. Not sure if Washington gets 6 sacks and 3 INTs today to help their cause. You know Panthers will be angry in off a loss at New Orleans. That should have them plenty riled up here at home. CMC should gash this rush defense, and I use that term loosely. Panthers lead the league in sacks and should be able to rattle the rookie here. Any shot that these guys think they have at making the playoffs. Well, beating a bad team usually helps the cause. 4* Money Maker CAROLINA PANTHERS

Taking the RAVENS. I just do not understand this line. It is as if they are begging you to take SF. I had GB off their bye last week and they were a complete no show in San Fran. San Fran looked great. Almost as great as Baltimore looked picking apart the Rams on MNF. So we have both teams looking unbeatable. I think that everyone will be on the dog. I am on the fave here. Maybe SF can slow this offense down. Until it happens, I'm on the Lamar show. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS 

Taking the PACKERS. Had these guys ML last week and they totally wet the bed on national TV. Just looking at Rodgers face you can tell how pissed and angry he was. This Giants defense is nothing like San Fran. This is a team that the Packers beat. These guys are 8-3. Lost both games in Cali to Chargers and Niners in bad fashion. In between, a 8pt win at home over Panthers and a bye. Sitting at 8-3, same as Minnesota, Pack need a win. Again, Giants defense not anywhere near what the Niners will bring. Rodgers too much a competitor to not bounce back after that performance Sunday. 5* Best Bet GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking the COWBOYS. Let's start with the Bills. An 8-3 team getting in some spots a full TD from a 6-5 team. Oh we have to take the team with the better record. Let's see. They have scored more than 30 twice, both vs Miami. Wins at NYJ and NYG. Were down big and needed miracle to beat Jets. Faced Rookied QB in Giants. Beat Cincy. Does that need a comment? Lost to Patriots. Whipped 31-10 at home by Eagles. Beat Redskins 24-9 with Haskins at QB. Lost at Cleveland 19-16. Beat Denver with Brandon Allen and his 82 passing yards at QB 20-3 at home. Dak and friends will have a field day here. Bad conditions and poor play calling cost them in NE. A huge, must , must , must win game for Dallas here. Short week. Desperate team. Huge talent differential at offensive skill positions. Bills beat the bad teams. Lose to good ones. It is proven in their games this season 8* Sure Shot DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking the BEARS here. Tough to lay any points with this offense - I get it. But the defense does not a take a play off. They should be able to flip the field for us here and get us in that plus territory for a score. Lions offense not looking that well last week in Washington. 6 sacks and 3 INTs for Driskell. I don't think I am crazy to think Chicago D a bit better. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO BEARS 

Taking the RAVENS. Hate to grab the low hanging fruit, but we are on Baltimore tonight. This team is the class of the AFC right now. Good luck trying to slow down both sides of the ball. Rams a struggling unit right now. We had the Bears last week, and as I write this, Rams up 10-7 in the 4th. That kind of play not going to get it done against Baltimore. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS

Taking the PACKERS. Getting GB off a bye week. Getting GB and Rodgers, angry. Last time in Cali they were a no show for a game vs the Chargers. I am sure - 100% positive, Rodgers took the team to task for that showing. As great as his 17 TDs and 2 INTs look. How about the run game with the other Aaron, Jones, with 11 rushing TDs (plus 3 in the air). Smith and Smith combo with 18.5 sacks. I am sure they will get some pressure on Jimmy G. And who is he handing off to? A lot of lingering injuries on both sides of the ball for San Fran. I don't find it hard to believe that Aaron Rodgers still holds a grudge for the Niners taking Alex Smith over him. ML and Points if you want them. 8* Sure Shot GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Taking DALLAS. Might also grab a little +245 ML. Listen. You don't make all that much money fading this QB + HC combo. And you all know how I feel about this Dallas HC. Brutal. But that's a story for another day. One. I think Dallas defense is pretty good. Albeit they have shown just flashes. But they can get pressure on Brady and their LBs are a solid group. This is really going to come down to dictating Zeke and their OL. Honestly though, the way Dak has played, you really can't get down if they have him passing often to his WR dynamic duo. I think this is just too many points. If you can get 7 at a little higher price, I think its worth it. But I also think Dallas has a shot at being a live dog this afternoon also. 5* Best Bet DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking the TITANS. Can't believe I didn't load this game up at the start of the week. Off bye week. Tannehill makes this team look 100% better offensively. Defense always solid for Tennessee. I like Foles. Thought it was a great signing. Guy has done nothing but win games when given a start. But, he has a game and a what, a series or 2 under his belt. You can't be breaking new QBs in Week 12. Especially when you are the Jags who historically struggle on offense. Sad for the lost year Jaguar fans. A lot of wasted talent on that defense. Give me the lunch box brigade. All the Titans do is win when nobody is looking and end up 9-7 and in the playoffs. 10* Money Bomb TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking the SAINTS. Think the bloom is officially off the rose here in Carolina. Allen in off his worse game. 4 INTs and your team will be in trouble. Hey, 4 straight wins, 5 in 6 and 5-3 overall for the kid. Not too shabby. Losing to GB and SF not a crime. Falcons turned him over and the Atlanta offense had been prolific in the past. Again, I am not knocking the youngster. But, here we are in New Orleans. A place Brees and Payton have feasted. And facing a young QB, the Saints defense will be more than up to the challenge. Just too much balance for Carolina to handle. Both sides of the ball big edges for the home team. 4* Money Maker NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 

Taking the JETS. I know that nobody really had the Raiders sitting at 7-4 in the AFC West. I cannot buy them as a road fave. They are 1-3 on the road this year. I know NYJ a wreck at 3-7. But injuries happen. And starting 3rd string QBs probably won't get many teams wins. Jets have allowed just a single 100 yard rusher on the year. (Zeke). The defense is solid. The offense showing flashes. Getting points, this is a live home dog. ML +160 should be in play also. 4* Money Maker NY JETS

Taking the FALCONS. Different team the last 2 weeks this Atlanta outfit. Big road in at New Orleans. Defense really shined there. Then going on the road again in division and taking out the Panthers. Happy to be on both of those side to help the bankroll. Enter Tampa on an 0-6 ATS run. Do you really want to get in front of the Falcons right now who seem to have found themselves since their bye week? Matty Ice at home always dangerous. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking the COLTS. I am no fan of the Texans. Way too inconsistent for me. Especially laying points like this. Huge division game. I get Brissett under center. I have not 1, but 2 100 yard backs last week. I know Texans can be explosive on offense. But, if you aren't on the field all that much, good look. I can see how you would be on Houston after they had their doors blown off last week. Indy is 5-1 SU last 6 in this series. Jacoby, a perfect 3-0 vs Houston in his starts. So it wasn't all Luck for Indy. Cots when healthy a very solid team. And I have to be all aboard even in a short week. They made light work of the Jags. And with this last game as the exception, every Colts game is a possession game. 5* Best Bet INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

Taking the CHARGERS. This KC team is in trouble. The special teams cost them last week. The defense has taken a step back. You know I am no fan of LAC HC, but we have an offense that can go punch for punch with anyone. This Charger defense is a Top 10 unit. The offense is starting to gel with Gordon back in the mix. We know what KC is. It is the Mahomes show. When he is in, watch out. But the defense is still a hot mess. 4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS 

Taking the BEARS. I have kicked Chicago's back in since pre-season. QB is brutal and the coach doesn't help a bit. But there is zero chance I am laying at home with the Rams. OL is a nightmare. Gurley is done. Guy hasn't been healthy last couple years. Goff making that contract look horrible. Not his fault that he is an average QB. Rams always have problems with good defenses. And, the Bears defense is still an elite unit. We might not win this one outright, but there is not a chance the Rams win this by a TD. 5* Best Bet CHICAGO BEARS 

Taking the PATRIOTS. I get it. It might be a square play here with NE off a bye week. But I can't trust Philly even as a small dog. Especially with Super Bowl Pay-back on the menu tonight. This is NOT that Eagles team. This team has loads of problems on both sides of the ball. They are 5-4. Where is the good win? At Green Bay? Is that what we are hanging our hats on? Let's do a little recap here. Redskins jumped out early on them and Philly held on. Lost at Atlanta. Lions beat them here. The GB win. Mauled Jets with a backup QB behind center for the visitors. Beaten badly at Minny, then smashed by Dallas on National TV. Beat a so so Bills team. Again I ask - Will Brady beat this team by 4 points off a bye week with a Super Bowl loss memory fresh in his head. I don't think this game is close. It might be tight for a half, but Patriots defense will want to reshape their image after the Ravens game. Brady has something to prove. Brady 13-4 off bye week. Pats with the NFC East co-leader Cowboys on deck at home. Then South leading Texans then West leading Chiefs all coming up. This is the most focused and fresh they will be. I found this little tidbit on the web from the start of the season - Since 2002, away favorites coming off a bye are 66-31 against the spread (68%) and a phenomenal 28-6 ATS (82.4%) and 31-3 straight up (91.2%) when favored by at least 4.5 points. - 10* Money Bomb NE PATRIOTS 

Taking DALLAS. More brutal play calling by arguably the worse coach in the NFL. Dak carving up the Minny defense, and let's try to get Zeke going down a score with a minute to go. Guy has to go. Back to the wall for Dallas. Any hopes of a bye week out the window. Now they are in a battle for just making the playoffs. Can't lose to Minny and New Orleans. Patriots on the road up next. Bills. At Bears isn't a gimmie with the way Garrett coaches. Plus Rams and Eagles. Not exactly easy. Back-up QB again for Detroit. For me, this is a huge game for the Cowboys. Season shaping. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking the BILLS. Should have grabbed this when it dipped to 5.5. I knew people would come in early on Miami. And why not. They have been covering games. And who wants to lay points with this Buffalo QB? Well, I'll bite here. Bills lost to NE, who they had a shot at beating, 16-10 and Eagles 31-13, who were destined for a good game after 2 straight road clunkers. And last weeks 19-16 loser to the Browns. Miami offense is putrid. Will be shocked if Miami scored more than 14. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS 

Taking the FALCONS. Should have grabbed them Sunday night when I talked about them on the weekly Live Lines Show at 10pm. Twitter my name for the show and follow me! - Now we get a lower number. Should probably grabbed a little +190 ML. Falcons defense very impressive getting to Brees last week. Now facing a rookie QB with no Cam as a hook behind him. Something tells me Atlanta isn't dead and mailing in their season just yet. This offense still has plenty of weapons to put points up. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking the SAINTS. Have to grab this team off a bad game. NO not looking too pretty last week vs the Falcons. This is a game that the HC takes very seriously. TB off nice come from behind win over Arizona. But this isn't a rookie QB and HC. This is a HOF QB & Coach, and Super Bowl winning combo. 5* Best Bet NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 

Taking the JAGUARS. Last we saw Jax they were getting mauled in London 26-3 by the Texans. Minshew mania over after that 2 interception day. Off their bye week, Nick Foles returns. Minshew was solid. 13 TDs. 93 passer rating. Not too shabby for the rookie. But Foles has a playoff pedigree. We can laugh and joke about it. The guy wins. 14-4 back in 2013/2014 for Philly. Then 6-2 the last 2 years filling in for Wentz, and 4-1 in the Playoffs adding a Super Bowl Trophy to his shelf. Colts for me, way too shaky. And I was a big Indy guy this season. But TY out. QB questions. Not a spot to be laying points. Shaky kicking game. Jags all day for me here. 8* Sure Shot JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Going OVER the total. I do like the Steelers a bit here. But until I get that full 3, I will take aim at the total. I just think we some scoring here. Browns really with their back to the wall if they have any shot at making playoffs. Pitt has to be thinking - with the Ravens schedule, if we just keep winning, we can steal this division. Expect the defense to flip the field a couple times here. As much as both teams have struggled to score, I think we get a shootout tonight. Over 4-1 last 5 in the series. 4* Total Money OVER Steelers/ Browns

Taking the NINERS here. I don't think I have heard one person say they like San Fran. I get Wilson is having an MVP year. Something tells me though that SF are practiced and ready to go. Extra prep time off the Thursday game. Injured guys get some more time. Sanders looked good in his first game since trade from Denver. The defense is not too shabby. 10* Money Bomb SAN FRANCISCO 49ers 

Taking the COWBOYS. Went back and forth a bit on this one. I do like Minny. Love their HC. But their QB is a Prime Time nightmare. How about 6-14 in prime-time starts, and 6-29 against opponents with winning records! Dak is 14-5 in his prime-time starts. Let's not forget 0 4th quarter comebacks either from Cousins, 0-10-1 when trailing coming into the 4th. Not going to say some negatives backing Garrett in this spot for Dallas. But Minny just hasn't figured it out when it matters on the road. 8* Sure Shot DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking the STEELERS. uh. Ugly one. I am not a Steelers fan at all. Can't even say anything nice about them expect they are a home dog here. Rams. Please. This team has been exposed as a total fraud after the Patriots dissected them in the Super Bowl. This Goff contract is an albatross already. 8-2-4 ATS run for Pitt as home dogs under Tomlin. I got a home dog with probably the better defense. They got trucked by the Patriots. Ok, nearly everyone does. 3 other losses by 9 total points, including an OT loss. Goff not the same on the road. Gurley is an average back now. Cooks hurt. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH STEELERS 

Taking the DOLPHINS. 4 straight covers for Miami including an outright win last week. And look - I'll be honest. A healthy Colts team and I wouldn't be shocked if the were in the AFC Championship Game. That is how high I think of the coach and the team. But, these guys have some flaws. QB a problem right now. No TY hurts. And the kicking game. Well, I am not even going to bother to spell the guys name correctly because he should have hung up after Game 1 this season. All 8 Indy games this year decided by 7 points or less. Their 5 wins, an average of 4 points (2,3,6,7,2). I get Miami is 'tanking'. Back door wide, wide open here for Dolphins. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS 

Taking KC early. Will do the 3.5 here. Maybe Mahomes comes back and we get a big middle opportunity. Can't complain about the way Moore has played either. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS

Taking the BILLS. Well, was on the opposite side of both these games last week. Thought I had good CLV with the Browns as I got them as dogs early before the line move. Look. This Browns team is a mess. Bills total opposite. Nothing sexy about them. Browns all the flash. Baker tv chugging beer. ODB and Landry at WR. Chubb a stud RB. I'm grabbing the lunch box crew from Buffalo. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the BEARS. I will be the first to say I had these guys pegged correctly. Total under team and not making the playoffs or winning the North. That being said, the offense is so terrible. Thought about ML -140 here! Lions, dome team outside. I have no idea if it will be windy, snow, rain, cold. But, I know November football outdoors for dome QBs are something that has always been profitable. Chicago defense still fierce. Everyone so down on Tribusky. I won't be shocked to see a QB change at halftime or sooner if it's another pathetic outing. But something tells me Chicago really brings it today at home. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO BEARS 

Taking the RAVENS as a small Money Maker today. Normally, I, probably like many others, looking to fade teams off huge win over Pats on national TV. But, to back Cincy, even off a bye week. Eh, tricky proposition. I know they have a new guy under center. Just don't think that helps the leagues worse rush defense. I think we see a steady run, run, TE, run, run, run, run, run, WR, TE. Well, you get the picture. Harbaugh will have something for a new QB to chew on. It won't be tasty. Ravens defense solid. Bengals got the backdoor win under 2 to play in Baltimore. I think they get a late score here, but it could be their first one of the game. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS 

Taking the FALCONS. Oh the 1-7 Atlanta Falcons don't can their HC during the bye week. Matt Ryan back. You have to give them credit for sitting at 1-6 and not quitting against Seattle two weeks ago. Now. Brees back. All right in New Orleans. But I can't back them at this price, even with them having an improved defense. Ryan and Julio always put up numbers here. Add in Ridley and Hooper who is having a nice season. I think this is too many points. Saints 3-12 ATS last 15 as double digit home favorites vs division rivals. Underdog on a 8-3 ATS run last 11 in the series. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking the COWBOYS. Think this will be a bit of shootout, so maybe look a little at the over. But my top play is on the side. Dallas out of the bye. Getting healthy all around. The defense has under-achieved in my eyes. I think they really get after Jones behind center. NYG OL not great shakes at all. Key here to a nice double digit win is Zeke and Dak. They pound early, open things up, and you get the big plays from Dallas WRs. 8* Sure Shot DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Total Money UNDER Pats/ Ravens 

Taking the RAVENS. Have to like these guys in off their bye week. We know this will be a low scoring affair. Thomas, Ingram and friends rolling along for over 200 yards rushing a game. That is some old school ground and pound. Going to grab the home dogs in this spot. 5* Best Bet BALTIMORE RAVENS 

4* Total Money OVER Packers/ Chargers 

Taking the BROWNS. I wasn't high on these guys to start to the year. Still not high on them. But they have the best offensive guys on the field. If they can't pull out a win here, fire the coach before the flight home. 5* Best Bet CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking TAMPA BAY. Like Russell for sure. This is a no brainer when it comes to the QBs here. But Seattle does like to run. And Tampa brings a solid run D. Also, I don't think Seattle can handle the Bucs WRs. These are two #1 wide-outs that could star on any team. Seahawks just not covering as faves. How about 10 straight dogs now in Seattle games? 1-5 ATS this season for Seattle and 0-4 ATS at home. Their 2 wins at home, 21-20 over Cincy, 30-29 over the Rams (remember Rams missed FG at end). Lost to Teddy Bridgewater 33-27, lost to Ravens 30-16. Can't trust them laying even vs this team. 8* Sure Shot TB BUCCANEERS 

Taking the VIKINGS. You know I am high on these guys. I think the offense is vastly improved and not just because Diggs called out his QB. Cook has really come alive behind this OL lately. That is what makes this team go. Zimmer will have the defense ready for whoever they face. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking the REDSKINS. I'll go ugly people. We aren't scared of making money. Green is green. You can't have faith in the Bills to lay a big number like this. The offense is not built for scoring like that. I had the Bills last week. I like Buffalo. Just in this spot, too many points to pass up. Bills have scored 14,13,10 in 3 of their last 4 games. Points all day for us. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON REDSKINS 

Taking the EAGLES. You can't win on the road, or at home even, without a QB. And the Bears are lacking a QB. Yeah. Great defense. But you aren't winning many games 2-0, 3-0, 9-3. Eagles too many weapons not to score something. And the defense is average enough to hold this team to 10 or less points. As great as Bears defense, let's not forget before holding the Chargers in check, 60 points to Saints and Raiders. Couldn't stop Oakland to win a game. 36 to Saints. Eagles look to build off last weeks win. I was against them there, 3 straight on the road. Home, they have to start getting some wins to keep pace with Dallas. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

Taking the JETS, my Top Play of the Week. All the money pouring in on the Dolphins. I get Jets looking bad. But I am all over them today. Let's remember, Gase was run out of Miami last year. You don't think this is a huge game for him? You don't think any Jets players on the roster from last year wants payback for losing both games to Miami. Jets by double digits. 10* Money Bomb NEW YORK JETS 

4* Total Money UNDER Texans/ Jags

4* Total Money OVER Packers/ Chiefs

Taking the CHIEFS. Will take KC with Matt Moore behind center. This isn't a nobody rookie behind center. This guy has some starts and wins under his belt. Everyone coming in real heavy with the Packers and what they saw out of Rodgers. Forget that game. Past is past. Today, KC is the play. Have we forgot the gift officiating or just plays that went in GB's favor the last 2 weeks. 5 home games. Time for a road trip and you're favored? Andy Reid 37-17 SU in KC. How about Aaron Rodgers 46-46 career road record! 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS 

4* Total Money UNDER Browns/ Patriots 

4* Total Money UNDER Panthers/ Niners

Taking the PANTHERS. Off a bye week, I think they are ready to pick off the Niners. We had the Redskins and managed a half point cover without scoring a point. Washington then proceeded to bite us in the butt on Thursday night as they don't force a punt, but still manage to cover the number. Back to the Niners. Just a spot I think is bad for them. Still banged up on the OL. Plus, short week with division rival Arizona on deck. That is where their focus will be. They can drop an out of division game. Heck, they can win and not cover. I just think that since Cam has been out, this is a different team. 5* Best Bet CAROLINA PANTHERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Broncos/ Colts 

Taking the JETS. People will be down on them after that MNF performance. And that is why we are getting a little extra value on the point spread. Jags no the Patriots and especially not the coaching staff. Can't trust Mishew laying this number. 4* Money Maker NY JETS 

Taking the BILLS. I know everyone will be loving the Eagles in this spot. But the line has gone up. Even though there is money on Philly. They looked bad vs Dallas so that is what everyone remembers. But, Bills themselves struggled a bit putting away Miami. I just can't over look 3 straight road games for the Iggles. Minny, Dallas and here. And this group might have the best defense of the bunch. I'm going ML just in case it's closer than I forecast. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the COLTS. Again, back as our Top Play this week. I can't believe this line is where it is. I am shocked is not over a touchdown. In fact, it has dropped a bit. I have no clue why. How can a sharp money player come in on Denver? They just traded a veteran WR. Their QB has looked awful in pocket. Their defense is ok which you would expect from this HC. But everything else is a mess. Indy a focused a group. I said this from the moment Luck went down. There is not really a huge drop off to Brissett. Kid filled in when Luck was lost for the season before. That is huge. The defense cost them games that season. That has improved. The OL has improved. The run game. Everything has improved. Like this HC. You see how Philly has struggled since he has left. Much like the guy in SF. He leaves ATL after the Super Bowl loss and Falcons can't muster anything. Huge end on the sidelines for us today. I don't care about extra rest for Denver. That team played scared even after Mahomes went down. If this isn't a double digit win I will be shocked. 10* Money Bomb INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

Taking the GIANTS. Might even sprinkle some +250 ML here. Giants getting healthy on offense. Rookie Daniel Jones with some new toys returning. Barkley, Tate, Engram. They will score some points here. Lions who I thought were off to a promising start, well, losing your RB hurts. I just can't back the Lions as a favorite of this size. 8* Sure Shot NY GIANTS  

Taking the VIKINGS. I think it is safe to say that Cousins will have all his teammates ready to face his old club. Yeah, AP makes a return to Minny, but, let's be honest here. If one of these guys is taking over this game, its' the guy who has tossed for 10TDs (1int) and nearly 1000 yards the last 3 games. Vikings offense starting to click behind their new line, and their defense is always a stout unit. Should have a fun game vs a revolving QB door set to see another ex Viking player in Case Keenum behind center. Perhaps Colt McCoy or even a forgotten rookie might see action in this short week skirmish. Vikes 19-2-2 ATS last 24 at home vs non-con foes. I doubt we see a repeat of them losing as huge faves as they did to Buffalo last year. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking the JETS. New Jets team people. I thought at the start of the season, they were a playoff team. Then mono and injuries show up and you have a 3rd stringer in their behind center and the wheels are falling off. Well, Mono-Man is back. The OL is still a concern for me. But I do like the defense. I think with a real NFL QB you make your RB that much better. Everything improves. Jets HC has beaten Pats while in Miami. Always a tough series here. You can't really knock NE. The defense is taking the ball away every game. What I see is Brady throwing some end-zone INTs. Patriots offense is ok, but nothing really special. 5* Best Bet NY JETS 

4* Total Money OVER Eagles/ Cowboys 

Taking DALLAS. This is it for Garrett. Guy needs to get this team together. And honestly, judging by the team walking by his open hands, he's in trouble. Eagles in off their own loss getting mauled in Minny. Much tougher losing to a guy who hasn't played since August though. Still think the Dallas offense is superior though. It was seems like a yearly thing since selling their souls to win the Super Bowl, Philly again decimated by injuries on both sides of the ball. I think we see some points tonight, but the Cowboys should win this one by double digits. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

4* Total Money OVER Ravens/ Seattle 

Taking the BEARS. Great run by Teddy B with 4 straight wins and the Saints can't be complaining. Guy was decent in Minny, so not exactly a true back up. But, back to back road games tough in the NFL. At Seattle, home vs Dallas and Tampa - road win vs hot Panthers. Bears going to be an angry bunch for sure. Bad loss in London. I don't care who is throwing the ball, Chicago wins with defense. And, we have seen when Teddy and the Saints get a good defense, they struggle. 13-6 last week. 12-10 over Dallas. We have seen Tampa and Seattle give up plenty of points. Bears allowing just 13.8ppg and are on a 17-6-1 ATS run at home last 24 games. 8* Sure Shot CHICAGO BEARS 

Taking the RAIDERS. Raise your hand if you had Oakland with this many wins so far- Now stop lying. You know that nobody though they would be in this position. And yeah, this is a tough position as it is another away game. Next week in Houston and this is over a month on the road for the Raiders. But, they are off a bye and back from London. A game they mauled with their run game. Packers defense not on Chicago's level. I think Carr is a decent QB. When a team is playing with house money, there is no pressure. Pressure now on GB after the refs gifted them a win on MNF. This line was 7 to start and I see 5s now starting to show. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND RAIDERS 

Taking the VIKINGS. Had the Lions over the Packers. Will buck them here on the short week. I do like this Detroit team. You have seen my write ups or videos on them on the season. But I think this is a bad spot. One, brutal loss for them. A game they should have won. I get Minny is in off fat win over Philly. This is division rival time. Vikes had time to get their OL in order. The run game is superior. Their WRs are superior. The defense is superior. Most importantly, their HC is superior. 9 points in each of the last 2 meetings for Detroit and barely averaging 14 in the last 5 vs Minny. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking the REDSKINS. So, faded both of these teams last week. Had Miami ML and was big on the Rams. Will fade SF laying this hefty number. As I said last week. They are coming in off a short week vs Rams who had lost 2 straight. They are missing 2 starting OL men plus a FB. Their WR corp is average at best. But yet, they won going away. Redskins canned their HC and came out with renewed fire. Expect more of the same. SF HC talking smack about the Redskins will inflame some here, but especially ownership. Bill Callahan taking over is a guy with his own chip on his shoulder. Run out of his HC job as the Raiders after taking team to Super Bowl (vs old HC Gruden).  I know it's ugly, but we have to bite. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON REDSKINS 

4* Total Money OVER Cards/ Giants

Taking the FALCONS. Both of these guys in a bit of a free-fall. I think the Dan Quinn era(rror) is going to be coming to an end soon. Granted, the kicking has bit them in the butt, but what a waste of this offensive talent. Rams come in now losers of 3 straight, and have an early start time, while playing Matty Ice at home who has pretty good numbers here. That says all you need to know about the state of the Falcons. Ryan leading the NFC in TD passes and yards. He has a pair of pretty decent wide-outs if you don't know them. Job on the line here for the home team HC. Dog Outright. 5* Best Bet ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking the COLTS. Big game here for Indy. Rested, off bye. Guys back getting healthy. Hilton and Mack are great weapons for Brissett. They have won 7 of their 8 at home. They have covered 9 of 10 against teams with a winning record. 27-8 SU vs the Texans. Houston in off huge win over KC. In fact, both teams last win over Chiefs. Back to back roadies tough. Double tough after winning at Arrowhead, then coming to a play a team that beat you in the playoffs last year. Colts get it done. 10* Money Bomb INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

Taking DENVER here. Faded these guys last week. Not a smart move. Broncos haven't given up a TD in 2 straight games now. So, home dog on a short week. I get everyone loves Mahomes. But he doesn't look the same to me. Up and down. Maybe a little nicked up. Denver with the RBs to keep the KC offense limited and off the field. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Broncos 

Taking the LIONS and will be looking at +215 on the ML. Everyone will be on the Packers after they dismantled Dallas early. They will probably over look the INTs, the missed FGs, the 500+ yards off offense they gave up. Oh, it's Aaron Rodgers at home and they only have to win by a touch down. Detroit off bye. Had that crazy KC game before. For me though. This is just a great situational spot for the road team. Extra prep time for division rival. I get it. GB will be looking for revenge off 31-0 loss here at home last year. But, no Rodgers. I don't put much merit in that angle. 5* Best Bet DETROIT LIONS 

Taking the CHARGERS. This Pitt team is in trouble this year. Forget the QB problems. This defense has yet to get an offense off the field when it needs to. Enter the Chargers off a brutal home loss. Yeah, we had Denver and the points. But I thought they would hang tough and too much Rivers and Allen would win a close shoot-out. Instead. LAC couldn't do anything right. I expect them to get right here. A big offensive night for this team. 8* Sure Shot LA CHARGERS 

Taking TENNESSEE. Ugly pick for sure. Tough taking a team that is playing without a place kicker! Missed 4 last week. Yikes. Titans have 3 losses and didn't allow more than 20 points in any of them. ugh. Rough. But, that means we are in every game. Denver has scored more than 20 just once, their last game. 3 games less than 20. Flacco not doing much offensively. Broncos 2-7 ATS last 9 at home and just broke an 8 game losing streak. How about a 3-12-1 ATS run for Denver as favorites. Underdog has won every Titans game this season. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking the RAMS. So, we had ML play on Seattle last Thursday. Tough, tough loss as Rams miss FG at end of game. Looking inside the stats here. Rams put up basically 30 points in about 25 minutes of work. Closed in on nearly 500 yards of offense. This is a huge game for LAR sitting at 3-2. We have Niners here on Monday Night. I think they win this over the Browns. That means, a short week. Off a MNF win. While Rams sitting with extra for this monster divisional game. Everyone remembers what they last saw. That is Niner domination, and Rams chocking on a late FG.  10* Money Bomb LA RAMS 

Taking MIAMI. You can grab the points, I am going  MONEY LINE. Look Redskins with the coaching change that has been years in the making. Dolphins behind their HC and have orchestrated their moves to rebuild. These guys are pros. They hear about how bad they are. One win, zero wins. There is a difference. You don't want to be the only Undefeated Season Franchise and Winless Season Franchise. I don't care who takes over for the Redskins. I don't care who is behind center. Miami off their bye will be guns blazing to win this thing. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS 

Taking SEATTLE. Should have grabbed these guys at plus money before Monday night. We knew what was going to happen as the Niners cash for us. This Browns team is not good. All the hype. The personalities. Baker is one of the worse QBs in all of NFL right now. ODB, Landry, Chubb. Doesn't matter how good these guys are if you can't get them the ball. The OL is absolute disaster. We won't mock their HC too much. But by now you should as I have said it several times - the guys behind the offense coming alive last year are gone. Now you get Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson with extra rest to come face this team. This is the Browns people. This team was 4-44 in the 3 years prior to going 7-8-1 last year. And you have faith they are going to turn it around against Seattle? Good luck with that. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

4* Total Money UNDER Cincy/ Ravens... I want to pull the trigger on Cincy. But the offense is just brutal. How is this total 48? Guess they think BLT is putting up Miami numbers. Don't see that happening. 

Taking the JAGUARS. Saints have bit us in the butt the last two weeks. We will fade them again. So, on the grass, out of the dome, and off a big SNF win over the Cowboys. And a big division win over Tampa Bay. Taking to the road in a non-conference game seems a bit of let-down spot. Teddy B off his best game ever. This Saints team still has had trouble offensively - Yes 4-1. But winning by just 4 points a game and having eclipsed 300 yards of total offense twice. How is that possible in today's NFL? Christian McCaffrey had 250 yards himself in a game last week! - Look. Maybe Ramsey is back as he sees the team competing. Fournette having a huge bounce back season. DJ Chark is on the same page as Minshew. Bears on deck for NO, so you think they might eye that NFC game more important. 8* Sure Shot JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 

4* Total Money UNDER Giants/ Patriots 

Taking the PATRIOTS. I'll lay the big number again with New England. We had Minny over the Giants last week also. NYG are not a good team. Don't be fooled by a comeback win in Tampa. Or a win over the Redskins with a rookie QB who came in after an injury after not taking a snap. And, Danny Dimes wasn't that great there anyway with his turnovers. Now he is on the road, short week, after the team was exposed again at home. Good luck vs this Patriots defense. Big number, yes. But NE will get their 30. Won't be shocked if the defense sets up a couple short fields. Also on the Under. 4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 

Taking the NINERS. Have not seen a single thing to warrant backing the Browns. I get it. You are thinking. Huge road win over division rival. Well. Baltimore looked good whipping Miami. They struggled vs Arizona. Got a back door in KC. And throttled by the Browns. Who. Struggled at the Jets. Couldn't do anything vs the Rams who gave up 50 to the Bucs. These Niners have surprised me out of the gate. Short number. Browns with a target on their backs because of their personalities. Don't like the Cleveland HC. All I know is that since Shanahan has come to SF, the Falcons can't do a lick on offense. Homers get it done. 4* Money Maker SF 49ers 

Taking the COWBOYS. I get that people will be giddy getting Aaron Rodgers at a FG or maybe even 3.5. This game is going to be a Dallas BLOWOUT. One. Let's talk about what we last saw from Dallas. Them struggling in the Dome vs the Saints. Wasn't like the defense didn't show up. Hats off to Sean Payton and company out-coaching Jason Garrett though this is nothing new. At home, off a prime time loss, Dallas primed for a rout. So GB has some extra rest. They need it. They were just exposed by the Eagles. If you want to say Dallas didn't play anyone, let's talk about the Packers defense and their performances. You really impressed with them shutting down the Bears and Broncos. And getting Cousins at home to throw a bad INT - No DeVonte is a big blow to Rodgers WR corp. Someone will probably step up, but it won't be enough. Think Dallas OC adjusts, and Zeke has a monster game to open things up for Dak. 10* Money Bomb DALLAS COWBOYS
