Taking the CHIEFS. Not overthinking things one bit. You can go KC Money Line if you want. The ML were not posted when I put the picks up on Sunday night. Andy Reid an absolute beast with his bye weeks. Something along the lines of 27-4 SU. I know the break helped Philly who is a little banged up on both sides of the ball. The difference here, like the Super Bowl. Mahomes + the Chiefs Defense. This unit is giving up 19ppg. The last year and a half, the defense has carried this teams, even as great as their QB is. The defense is what is making this team so dangerous. Prior to their bye, the held the best offense in the NFL scoreless for a half and when they did finally score, the outcome was already set in stone. If you watch the Look Ahead Lines Show on Sunday Night during halftimes, you would have already been on the UNDER 48.5 on this game. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

4* Total Money UNDER Eagles/ Chiefs

 Taking the RAMS. Normally, you would probably be thinking - let's take Seattle here. Good revenge spot. Got beat at home 30-13, looked terrible. Last time we saw the Rams they were flailing helplessly in Green Bay losing 20-3 behind QB Bret Rypien. Fresh off their bye week, a humiliating performance, and getting their QB back under center - it is time to back the home team here. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS  

Taking TENNESSEE. Now. I do have a bad number here at +6 as has moved to +7. And  honestly, I probably should have waited because the entire betting world will be on the Jaguars here. Yes - Both teams off bad games last week. But getting trucked by the Forty Niners, and getting beat down by Tampa Bay are two teams, playing different games. There will be no argument from me that the Jaguars are better. But I am here for the line. Everyone and their grandma will think - man, Jax should crush these guys. Jacksonville is just 1-3 at home. Losses to the Niners, Texans and Chiefs here. Beat the Colts here. Falcons win was in London. Titans have lost 8 straight on the road now. Playing a 3rd straight road game for any team is difficult. Tossing in a rookie QB makes it even harder. But I love the coach. Love the fact they have already been written off.  4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS 

4* Total Money UNDER Arizona/ Houston 

 Taking the RAVENS. 3rd straight home game for Baltimore and in off a last second loss where they blew a lead. Sign me up for the home favorites here. Short week for the Bengals who, on defense, just got lambasted by a rookie QB. A former MVP will have his way tonight. Over 500 yards and 386 to the QB. Wow. I know series why this is normally a FG type game. I just don't see it. I have said multiple time on Mid Day Money and the Look Ahead Lines show that the Ravens are the dangerous team in the AFC. I know everyone loves KC and the Tua/Hill show in Miami. Even Joe Cool with the visitors get more love. People will say, well, Burrow wasn't healthy the last time they played that is why Baltimore won.. Hello Bengals beat Anthony Brown 27-16 and the next beat Tyler Hunter in the playoffs 24-17.All Lamar does when he plays is win games. This line opened at 2.5 and has moved to 4 in some spots for a reason. Don't overthink things. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS 

Going UNDER the total here on Monday night. We get Denver off their bye week. Broncos defense has turned things around the last few weeks. 9-17-19 points allowed. It is odd that they have allowed 31 to the Jets, 35 to Washington and 28 to the Bears. That 70 to Miami is a fluke. 9 and 19 to the Chiefs. 17 to Green Bay and 17 to Vegas. The Bills fans will think Josh Allen goes wild here. This team has played what, 3 good games, or complete games this season. 38-10 vs Vegas - 37-3 vs Washington - 48-20 vs Miami. Their defense should be able to get the job done and keep Denver from getting to 20. But the offense has struggled in those other games. 18-24-25-14-20-16. I don't think Bills get to 30 and this is something like 27-16.  4* Total Money UNDER Broncos/ Bills 

Taking DALLAS. I said in Mid Day Money before Dallas and the Giants even played, take Dallas at -10 before they beat the Eagles. Well. They didn't beat Philly, But the Giants continue to swoon. They were scoring 11ppg with Jones and Taylor. How are they scoring 10 here? Heck, how are they scoring 6? They aren't This line is now 15 or more. I would lay 20. Dak is hot. Cowboys angry off their loss. They mauled the Giants 40-0 in game 1. More of the same here. Absolute destruction. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Total Money OVER Washington/ Seattle 

Taking the LIONS. I said this on the Look Ahead Lines last Sunday night. Sign me up for Detroit off their bye week and a short week for LAC. Chargers off Sunday Night Win. Now off a Monday Night Win in New York. Everyone watched a pair of blowout wins and a defense that gave up 19 points. Now it is time to face a real time that has a capable QB. Lions on a 15-3 ATS run last 18. Wow. 8* Sure Shot DETROIT LIONS 

4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS

4* Total Money OVER Texans/ Bengals 

4* Total Money OVER Browns/ Ravens

4* Total Money UNDER Packers/ Steelers

Taking the COLTS. I am shocked that there is still this much respect for the Patriots. They are 2-7 on the year. They are also 2-7 ATS. What have we seen to make us think they win here? I was on the Colts in Game 1 of the season. Not. It didn't go as planned. I thought I would Minshew Mania and Taylor right from the door. They are both here now. The offense is humming. We had the Over last week in their game and although it didn't get there, they did their part. 27-27-38-20-23-23-22-31-21. They can score. The Patriots. 17-17-fluke 29 -17 - 0 - 3 -15-17 -20. Come on. That is 20 or more TWICE on the year! Now they turn it around? PuhLeaze. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Taking the BEARS. The fact that this line has moved this much amazes me. I am glad to be on the better number, but is this too much of an overreaction? Young is off a terrible game. The team is bad, I get it. But Chicago is just a win better at 2-7. Short week for both teams. Do we give a little point lean to the home team? Is it that we might get Fields back at QB? That could be the main reason. We know Fields has the wheels to take off, and this Panthers defense can give up yards on the ground. On the road at Miami Detroit and Seattle. Nearly 600 yards allowed. And even if it is Bagent, the kid went for 70 on the ground last week vs a better defense in New Orleans. Chicago should get it done here tonight. I can't see Carolina putting up more than 13. 24-13 Bears. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO BEARS

Taking the JETS. Do not trust the Chargers on the road. The coach will make a bonehead decision. Jets defense is good. We saw last week, a Jets team that looked brutal. We saw on SNF, a Chargers team that everyone falls in love with. Line keeps going up. I think Jets hang and have a shot at the outright win tonight. 4* Money Maker NY JETS

Taking the BENGALS. Another number we have in our favor. Look Ahead Lines is every Sunday night at half-time of the SNF game. Watch it. Or re-listen to the podcast. The line move doesn't shock me because I said this would happen. It doesn't matter. Cincy, and Burrow, are moving in the right direction. This is a team in Buffalo that they have figured out. 27-10 last year. That Bills team was better. Bills lost at New England and on the road to the Jets. This is a tough spot for them. Bengals did exactly what I thought they would do coming off their bye week. Big win in San Fran. No let down spot at all. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS

 Taking the COWBOYS. This Eagles team. 7-1, but can be 4-4. A good team finds a way to win. But now they face a team that beaten them 4 of the last 5. And might have a better defense. Dak is the key. He has good numbers vs Philly. Cowboys special teams has been good. I still think Philly is more banged up then Dallas is. Might be a homer play since I am a fan of the Cowboys. But I am 8-2 with their games this season, 4-1 sides, 4-1 totals. Think I have the pulse of what to expect. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the RAIDERS. It does not matter who is the QB for the Giants. The OL will leave that poor sap to run for his life. You would think it would be impossible to top they way they lost to Buffalo 2 weeks ago. But man - OT loser vs the Jets. Just wow. Vegas, for as inept as they had been under McDaniels, did play defense. Now though - this is a breath of fresh air. New Coach. New QB. Players happy. I might jump in on the Over here as well. 4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

 Going OVER the total here. Colts 6-2 to the over on the year. Saw or heard that they are the ONLY team to score 20 or more in all their games this season. They should be good for close to 30 here vs the Panthers who give up 28ppg. Panthers run D is one of the worse in the league. Taylor + Morris will have huge games. Minshew will carve up the confused secondary. Honestly - we might need just 10 points from Carolina here. This game might be 30-7 at the half. Now. If Carolina HC Frank Reich can really rally his troops vs his old team, then we might have this over by halftime! 4* Total Money OVER Colts/ Panthers 

4* Total Money OVER Vikings/ Falcons

Taking ATLANTA. This is prime example of why you should listen to Look Ahead Lines at half-time of the Sunday Night Game. Now you are laying at least a 4 spot now. I don't think it matters honestly. I like Taylor Heinicke better. It was nice that the Falcons said to Ridder, go ahead kid, it is your show. But it was just not there. Too much talent on offense to be sputtering. Heinicke was solid with Washington. I think this team is better. Vikings have some a new QB, no star WR, and a run game that can't run. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS

Going UNDER the totals. Packers have scored more than 18 points exactly 1 time in their last 5 games. Love, and the rest of this Green Bay team have taken a huge step back. Wow. I was wrong with my take GB to win the North takes. This offense is bad. The defense is solid. Rams sent Rypien out to start. Not expecting huge fire works here. I will be shocked if we get more than 33 points. 4* Total Money UNDER Rams/ Packers

  Going OVER the total. I think the Ravens put up 34+ this afternoon. Something about this team I just like. And this Seattle bunch. Not a bad group. On the road we saw them in a 41-23 game vs SF. 37-31 vs the Lions. Two pretty good offenses and we had points from both teams. 24-3 at the Giants. Again, Seattle doing their part, but NYG with no offense. 17-13 in a dogfight vs Cincy. This is a game I just chalk up to an ugly one. Seattle has offensive weapons. Ravens are getting into a groove going for 31-38-24 (10) and 28 in last 4 games. We should sail over this to something in the 50s. 4* Total Money OVER Seattle/ Baltimore 

Going UNDER the total. I am not sure how people have not seen that this is a Defense First KC team. And it has been like this for over a year now. Let's add in the travel from Denver to KC to Germany. For all the Tua and Hill offensive accolades (33ppg) , this Miami team is just 4-3 to the Over on the season. And for me - the Dolphins have lost at Buffalo and Philly. A pair of "step up in class' type games. Both of those on the road. 31 + 48 Points allowed. KC was mustering up just 22ppg when you remove that 41 spot vs the lowly Bears. 4* Total Money UNDER Dolphins/ Chiefs

 Going UNDER the total. Rookie QB on a short week. Home team with backup veteran QB leading an offense that has been outgained in every game. A pair of defense first HCs. First team to 16 wins. 4* Total Money UNDER Titans/ Steelers

Taking the TITANS. Saw some clown on Twitter say, oh man - Pitt has won 4 in a row vs Tenny and 7 of the last 10 bro. Easy money.  Yeah. Because Big Ben out-dueling Zack Mettenberger, and Bishop Sankey (2014 game) tearing it up for 38 yards is what we should be looking at. Or Levon Bell going for 200+ on the ground! Heck- The last time they played (2021) Big Ben was the QB still. Come on people. Look - yes - a short week with a rookie QB making his first NFL road start vs an always tough opponent. I think maybe Trubisky is a better fit as a veteran here than Pickett. But the Steelers have been outgained in every game this year. Henry and Hopkins are probably the best skill guys on the field and the helps the rookie QB. As much as I love Tomlin, the Titans got a HC who isn't too shabby. In what should be an ugly, low scoring game - give me any points with the visitors. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking DETROIT. We had the Ravens last week - Lions in b2b road spots, and off a win. Now,  home. Raiders - come on. This team lucks itself into wins. Detroit, at least has some talent and a little spunk in them and their coach. And that is a clear edge for the home team here as well. It doesn't to me who starts for Vegas. The team will shoot itself in the foot. Need a big home win here with a trip to face the Chargers on deck for the Lions. 4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS

Taking the BEARS. How can anyone site there and think that you can back the Chargers laying double digits? This is team you are comfortable laying a big number with? We have to go back 9 games, January of 2023 against the Rams, to find a game they won by more than 7 points. They have no home field. Their coach might make the Bears coach look like Halas. The defense isn't all that special. Obviously this is me not having in LAC. I can't say anything about the Bears other than they have won 2 of their last 3. Momentum? I'll grab the big dogs in Prime Time. (like we did in Mid Day Money when they played Washington $) 4* Money Maker CHICAGO BEARS

4* Total Money UNDER Bengals/ Niners

Taking the BENGALS. Said to grab this on Look Ahead Lines on Sunday night. Niners short week and Cincy off a bye week. Add in a Sam Darnold start - again, on a short week. Not a good spot for San Fran. ( I do have a Darnold Comeback POY ticket) I did like Cincy more before the line move. But still think this worth it. Anything less than +3 though I would probably go Bengals ML. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS

4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Broncos 

 Taking the SEAHAWKS. Back up QB for Browns. The Browns defense looked real human last week. They been great all season though. Seattle a little banged up on offense, but it is tough winning on the road in the NFL, especially in b2b weeks with a backup QB. Add in how they also got a little bit of luck in the win over the Colts, plus, that Niners win. Not this time. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking DALLAS. Off a bye week, rested, a very good defense. And the Rams off a game vs the physical Steelers. Nothing else needs to be said. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

4* Total Money UNDER Vikes/ Packers

  Taking the PATRIOTS. So, Miami was a 1pt favorite when these guys played earlier. Now double digits. And this line has dropped, and will probably settle around 9-10. Easy to think the Dolphins just bounce back after getting manhandled by Philly. I am fading that and grabbing the ugly dog though. Achene is out. Mosart is banged up. Hill is banged up. The trends all  point to Miami. I think NE stays within the number. 4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 

Taking the UNDER. What can we say here? Niners off a loss? Come on. They allowed 19 points. But, since it was to basically the 4th string QB, maybe they are extra angry. They are still a little banged up on offense. Vikings have gone 5-1 to the Under in their games. San Fran is more an over team because of the playmakers on offense. But again, we have a couple banged up stars. I'll grab the under can be happy cashing again. 4* Total Money UNDER Niners/ Vikings 

4* Total Money UNDER Packers/ Broncos

4* Total Money UNDER Chargers/ Chiefs 

4* Money Maker LA RAMS

Going UNDER the total here. Steelers off a bye and Tomlin shines in this spot as I saw somewhere he is 12-4. Wow. (I do like the Rams -3 here). Give me the under though. You know Pitt will bring defense. I don't think the offense gets on track from a week off. Rams a little banged up in the backfield with their RBs. That can just let the Pitt pass rush come with their ears pinned back. I think its ugly. 4* Total Money UNDER Steelers/ Rams 

4* Total Money UNDER Browns/ Colts 

 Taking TAMPA. And why wouldn't we have them here? 10/1 to win the South. Over the win total. Young QB on the road vs a good defense. Losing to the Lions and Eagles. Acceptable. Those are good squads. The Falcons are not. I mentioned Ridder on the road. Basically a rookie. His two road starts, at Lions, vs Jags in London. 43-13 combined losers. Again. Tampa with a defense and that is enough for us to get the win. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY

4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS

Going UNDER the total here. We have been riding Saints under since Game 1. New Orleans with 12 straight regular season games not getting to the 40 point mark. All 6 games under this year. 12 in a row under. Good defense. Bad offense. Jags with in off a tough division game, and back to back weeks in London. Plus, a banged up QB. Leaning Saints as a side here too. 4* Total Money UNDER Jags/ Saints 

Taking the SAINTS. Also on the Under here, something we have been on since Week 1 in these Saints games. Jags short week, banged up Lawrence. Just a bad spot vs a good defense. 4* Money Maker NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

4* Total Money UNDER Dallas/ Chargers

Taking DALLAS. This is an absolute MUST win for the 'Boys. You get destroyed on SNF. Now on MNF you get to face your old OC - Man. You faced this cat and his offense in practice for years. You should know every aspect of what he expects. The Dallas defense is their strength. I have said multiple times the offense is a work in progress. But I think they get up for their new OC and, more importantly to show a little pride for themselves. So- one of the worse losses ever for Dallas. Chargers off their bye week, but injury concerns for Herbert's hand and Ekeler's ankle. Cowboys defense far superior to Chargers. We find out what kind of heart Dak has tonight after that 3 INT game.  4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

 Taking the RAMS. These guys are 2-3 and have played at Seattle, Indy and Cincy. Home vs Philly and San Fran. Cards are, I still think, one of the worse teams in the league. I have an under 3.5 ticket on them for the season. We saw the Rams go on the road after the Niners game and play Cincy to a 19-16 game. The same Cincy team on the road dropped 34 with no Tee Higgins. Cards are bad. Kupp working his way back. Stafford has found something with Nacua. Am I crazy thinking the Rams put up 30+ this afternoon? I'll take a 10pt win, but I think we clear that by another TD. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS

4* Total Money UNDER Lions/ Bucs

Taking TAMPA. We have been on these guys most of the year. I said back in August, take some Tampa 10/1 to win the South, on the free pick preview shows, and on Mid Day Money. Bucs have a defense. Lions, as I have said before. The hyped team coming into the season. Not buying them as a favorite vs a team with a good defense. Beating up on Carolina. Come on. Beating the Falcons at home with basically a rookie QB. Please. Green Bay? That win is looking a little suspect and that is coming from the guy who has GB to win the North tickets! Also on the UNDER (45.5) even though it is now down to a 42.5. Watch my Look Ahead Lines Show Sunday nights at halftime people! Numbers matter. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY BUCS

4* Total Money UNDER Seattle/ Bengals 

Taking the COLTS. Just a good spot here. Jags back from their 2 games in England, and a big win over the Bills. Had Indy back on Week 1. Couldn't punch it in from the 1. Richardson was knocked out, and, hurt again, will not be playing. But we know have a pretty solid 2 headed rush attack. A little ML might be worth a shot here also.  5* Best Bet INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

Taking the SEAHAWKS. Off a bye week and will be ready for Cincy. I expect a run heavy game after Arizona gashed this defense. (Also on the UNDER). Burrow 3 TDs last week, 2 on the season before facing the Cards. Seattle defense was insane vs Giants. I think Cincy is better. But I do have doubts about their OL. Outright win here for the road team. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

4* Total Money UNDER Saints/ Texans 

Taking MIAMI. How the heck will Carolina stay within 20 here? I know the line has moved to about 2 TDs since I posted this. I still will lay it. Carolina was down 28-7, hit a late FG at the half 28-10. It's 35-10 42-17. Garbage TD with 2 minutes left for the 42-24 final. Young is young, so expect another INT or 2. Miami's explosiveness on offense will get them a lead, and means they can come hair on fire after the QB and not worry about any running game. Miami toyed with the Giants and won 31-16 giving up 3 FGs and no TDs. Try on a 102 INT return. This should be something along the lines of 38-13. 8* Sure Shot MIAMI DOLPHINS 

4* Total Money UNDER Vikings/ Bears

4* Total Money UNDER Ravens/ Titans

4* Total Money UNDER Broncos/ Chiefs

4* Total Money UNDER Dallas/ Niners

Taking the JETS. Sean Payton said Nathanial Hackett was basically a big ole pile of doo doo. You don't think these guys want to crush Denver for their coach. He was here last year. Basically knows this trash squad in an out. Not that New York can drop a 70 piece, but I expect a big J-E-T-S WIN. 8* Sure Shot NEW YORK JETS

Taking ARIZONA. This is why I say to watch live, or listen on your podcasts to Sunday Nights Look Ahead Line Show. Line is 3. If you want to make money betting NFL, you don't bet on Sunday. Look - Do your bankroll a favor and keep taking any points that the line makers give you with teams playing Cincy. Burrow is hurt. The guy has ZERO TOUCHDOWNS in 3 of the 4 games he has played this season! Stop running to bet this team.. Here is some Look Ahead Lines for NFL Week 6 on Friday 10 days before the game. Take Seattle and the 2 points next week in Cincy! 4* Money Maker ARIZONA CARDINALS

Taking the RAMS here. Another good number as we catch Philly heading cross country, and off an OT game. A game they probably should have lost. I know the Iggles haven't played their best - and yet they still got me last time on the road Monday night in Tampa. But this is a little better team - which is tough for me to type in here. I thought this Rams bunch was left for dead. But the offense hasn't been all that bad. The defense shows up. Line has moved from 6 down to 4. I still like anything more than a FG. Eagles defense gives up passing yards and that is how LA moves the ball. Philly has been playing with fire most of the season in these one score wins. It will catch up to them. Is it an outright win for the Rams here? Maybe. But the points will get us the cover and a W either way. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS

Going UNDER the total here. I will also be taking the Lions in this one, if by some chance this turns into an absolute blow out. I think Detroit score 27-31 here. Where is the Carolina offense coming from? Bryce Young is the worse QB in the league. 1 TD drive not in garbage time. Dalton? Come on. Look - for all the hype on Detroit, the defense has been really good and is not getting a lot of credit. If the Panthers score more than 13 here I will be totally shocked. 4* Total Money UNDER Panthers/ Lions

Taking MIAMI. Normally I am one to say-- Yeah. So and so looked so bad we have to come back and grab them. Well - I did that after NY was destroyed on a SNF vs the Cowboys. They got demolished in the first half before coming back to beat Arizona. It is another thing saying lets take them against Miami. Dolphins off their own bad loss getting spanked by their rivals in Buffalo. Huge get back on the right track spot here. It might be a square look. But I cannot see NYG staying with, or slowing down Miami. Giants D giving up 30ppg. Offense has scored 3 vs Seattle at home, 0 vs Dallas at home - 12 in San Fran.. - and that 31 piece vs Arizona. Where do you think Miami defense falls in with those 4 teams? This should be 38-16. Miami should win this one by 20+ this afternoon. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS

4* Total Money UNDER Saints/ Patriots

Taking the RAVENS. I know I am suppose to 'buy low' here on the Steelers. Getting beat by the Texans on the road! But let's look at this team. Did nothing vs the Niners. Beat Cleveland in a game, honestly, they should have lost. Couple defensive TDs to start and end their scoring. And 1 big pass play. Do we chalk that up to the Browns being the Browns? Because the Ravens aren't the Browns. Yes. These games have been dog fights 16-13 - 16-14 - 16-13 OT - 20-19 - 19-14 the last 5 in the series. Tyler Hunter the started the last 3 games. Lamar Jackson for 1 - and, hello - RG3!! - Big Ben was playing for Pitt in 3 of the 5. DIFFERENT TEAMS. Lamar behind center is a difference maker. Don't overthink things. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS

4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS

Going UNDER the total here. Not going to overthink this one. Chiefs defense has been under rated this season, and really in my eyes, last year as well. Everyone thinks points points points because of Mahomes. The defense is solid. This Jets offense is just offensive. The only way this goes over is if KC just unloads like last week and drops a 44 on their own. KC FH should probably be on your ticket tonight also. Could be 30-0 and then the run game sweats begin. 4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Jets

4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Going UNDER. I have what I think is a top defense in Dallas that is off a terrible game in Arizona. I have a defense in the Patriots, that is probably a top half of the league unit. We won't get into all the Dallas stuff. Let's just look at New England. Week 1 vs Philly. Down 16-0 off turnovers, they then hold Philly to just 3 FGs. 4 FGs for the defense and 12 points. Against Miami - the high flying Dolphins, They picked off Tua and did a pretty could job allowing 24 points vs a team that rocked the Chargers with big plays and has recently dropped a 70 spot. Jets game. Well - its the Jets. Now they get a Dallas offense who, like I have said in Mid Day Money - what is it? We haven't seen it yet. You didn't need it vs the Giants and Jets. You needed it in Arizona and it failed on a 4th down inside the 10, and then kicked a FG inside the 10, then threw a pick inside the 10 (they might have been within the 15, I don't remember) I do know the offense has not looked sharp. 4* Total Money UNDER Patriots/ Dallas 

4* Total Money UNDER Raiders/ Chargers 

Going UNDER the total. Have loved these Saints unders all season. 9 straight games holding teams to less than 20 points. Line it up again. New Orleans does have a solid defense. Should be able to contain Baker and the Tampa offense. Saints with Winston behind center? Not that he was the reason they blew a 17-0 lead to lose 18-7 - but there is a reason Tampa let him go. Big arm, sure. 30 TDs yep, 30 INTs yep. You would think the Bucs would have him scouted pretty good here. Under Under Under. 4* Total Money UNDER Bucs/ Saints

Going UNDER the total. Nothing negative to be said about the Browns defense. At the top, or right near the top in all defensive stats. Steelers with a couple fluke defensive TDs and a 70 yard bomb. Heck. Give them one of those and this defense is giving up less than 10ppg. I wasn't sold on Baltimore coming into the season - and from what I have seen so far, I was right. 4* Total Money UNDER Ravens/ Browns

Taking the BROWNS. Well - you know we have the UNDER in this one and that is why we are also on the small home dog here. This defense is really good. Jim Schwartz doing a super job so far. The Chubb loss is bad, but the OL is good enough to carry a decent RB. Watson needs to just keep improving. I think people forget this cat was out basically a year and a half. You play in a monsoon, face the Steelers and Titans, who, last time I checked are defense first squads. I think they win the division. Burrow is a close to be doing for an extended period of time. Steelers to be are not there yet. Ravens look vulnerable. The offense is changing. The defense. Eh. I mean the bend don't break broke. You are lucky you are 2-1 not 1-2. You have a banged up OL coming to the Dawg Pound - even if their 2 starters are back, how effective will they be? 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS

Going UNDER the total. Two teams I will look to keep fading offenses with. Burrow didn't look all that great on Monday night. Now, a short week. Still hobbled. Tennessee. What is there to say? You draft Willis - You draft Levis. You still trot out the old guy. Guess you get some AARP discount or something for this QB-RB-WR combo of veterans. Both teams had the same 27-24 games in Week 2. But the other 4 games. Slop fests. I love that the Titans are 1-9 their last 10, so of course that peeks my interest. But, first team to 20 wins. 4* Total Money UNDER Bengals/ Titans 

Taking the PACKERS. Again. Yes. You know GB & TB are basically the official Mid Day Money NFL Teams this year. Short week for these rivals. Huge comeback from 17-0 for a 18-17 win for the Pack. Injury holdouts flipped that line from GB faves to dogs. Maybe saving them for this bigger division matchup? As I have said before - I like Love, the coach, the defense - everything about GB. Lions beat basically a rookie QB in a road start. Now they face a team that had basically owned them, and now the Packers can play the old revenge card the way last season ended. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking the RAMS.-- Talked about this on Look Ahead Lines Sunday.... We had Cincy Sunday (and under).. I thought Burrow still looks hurt. Didn't look good in Week 1, just as bad in Week 2... Said grab this.. Now it is 3! .. Unbelievable.. Still would take the Rams because I think Cincy absolutely stinks. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking TAMPA. I have said these guys, and probably the Packers, official Mid Day Money teams of the season. Home dog on MNF. Sign me up. Eagles 4-10 ATS last 14 as road favorites. I stole a half point in Week 1 with Philly on the road. They needed 4 TOs last week to beat Minny. Tampa is a solid bunch. Not sure why I was to grab them 10/1 to win the South. Defense is solid. Eagles haven't looked all that in sync on both sides of the ball to start the season. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY BUCS

Taking DALLAS. Arizona 9 straight losses, 6 at home. Cowboys 70-10 over Giants and Jets. If anything we saw last week vs NYG ( I had NYG), the Cards are going to be in for a long year. Dallas is a much more balanced team. Just better. Arizona has covered vs Washington and the Giants. Now another old NFC East foe is in town. I just don't see. This should be a 33-10 game. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking SEATTLE. Short week. No offensive weapons. And a tough home crowd. Seattle OL (who I bet against last week taking the Lions!) looked better with backups then their starters. Andy Dalton coming in since the rookie is banged up. Line has moved a bit. Honestly. Shouldn't matter. Seahawks 28-11 (72%) ATS last 39 at home. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Taking the LIONS. Falcons pulled up a miracle win last week. Detroit, even with injuries, should take care of business here. Not sold on a young QB making road starts. I like this Atlanta team, I do. Like all the young offensive guys. For me though - this is a circle the wagons type of game. Detroit season can easily start to spiral out of control. Green Bay on Thursday night. They can't over-look anyone.  4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS 

Taking the PACKERS. You know this is basically the official Mid Money Money team. Maybe Tampa on their heels. But I do like GB. Let one slip away last week in Atlanta. But not here at home. Saints off MNF (we cashed the Under). They haven't looked impressive at all on offense. Packers might get RB + WR back for this one. Love has been solid. Defense not too shabby. Might actually think about the under in this one also. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking the PATRIOTS. Probably an ugly on in North Jersey today. I will grab the short favorite though. Jets have a defense sure. But any team they play the defense gets upgraded because of the New York offense. Patriots have a solid defense. Probably deserve better than the 0-2 they are. FGs instead of TDs hurt. Edge offense Patriots. Edge coaching Patriots. Defense equal out for me here. Patriots 11-3 ATS last 14 vs Jets. Less than 10ppg for NYJ last 4 in this series.  4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Taking MIAMI. I have said multiple times on Mid Day Money how I can't bet Miami. I just worry about Tua every time the kid drops back. That being said - Denver making first road trip. A total disaster start for Sean Payton and the Broncos. From the opening on-sides kick vs the Raiders, to the defense last week giving up 35 points basically unanswered after being up 21-3. 21-3 with less than 2 minutes left in the 1st half! 13 points in 1.47 seconds! I think the Denver defense has some problems right now and facing the Dolphins isn't helpful. Broncos have lost 9 straight games after leading at halftime! wow. 2-0 on the road coming home, not laying a 7. I know it looks a little too easy to say Miami, but sign me up. Read somewhere that Denver has lost 11 straight on the road (not counting an England Win) 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS 

Taking MINNESOTA. Both teams 0-2. Chargers doing it in hear-breaking fashion in both games - And, they haven't turned the ball over yet! You knew the Vikings were playing with fire coming into the season with they way things broke for them last year. And out of the gate, 0-2. Turnovers - 4 basically inside the red zone have hurt. 2 losses by 9 points. Could be 2-0. Not a fan of either coaches. But I have to go with the home team here. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking TENNESSEE. Man. Said last night on Look Ahead Lines lets grab the Titans at 4.5, but was hoping for a 5. Now I see some 3.5 out there. Uh. Browns will be coming off total slug fest Monday night vs Steelers. Short week for another physical defense. Cincy - Pitt, and on deck the Ravens. Nice sandwich spot to play the ugly dogs. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking WASHINGTON. I know Washington has not looked all that great in going 2-0. Edged past Arizona with some turn over help. Denver. What is there to say. Hats off I guess. 11 points in a minute 47 seconds and it's a game and a big road win. This line jumped out to me right out of the gate. Josh Allen. Buffalo. Just have to win by a touchdown! Washington is trash. I am not a Ron Rivera guy. Think he is a lame duck running this bunch. But, they are responding and not quitting on him. Back to Allen. You have heard me say all last year the guy misses his old coach. Fumbles. Bad INTs. I think the Bills Super Bowl window is all but closed. I think this is a FG game. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON COMMANDERS 

Going OVER the total here. I will say I took it on the chin with the Giants on Sunday. What a mess this team is. Now - I don't want to really lay 10 points with SF, but if you want to, be my guest. The Giants defense is a hot mess right now. I think San Fran puts up a 37 spot on them here to be honest. I don't have a SF Team Total as of yet, but anything under 30, (thinking 28.5) count me in. I think the Niners defense lines us up for at least 17 points with short fields and turnovers. 4* Total Money OVER Giants / SF

4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Going UNDER the total. How does this game sniff 35 points? Saints have a defense. Carolina has a defense. Saints have some offense. Panthers don't. 20 points for the winner, don't overthink things here. 4* Total Money UNDER Saints/ Carolina -- This line has come down -- Still like the  UNDER.. Listen to Look Ahead Lines or Mid Day Money and you would have had this over a week ago at 42.

4* Total Money UNDER Washington/ Denver

Well. This is why I tell you watch Look Ahead Lines and bet early. Also have the UNDER at 44.5! 

4* Total Money UNDER Jets/ Dallas 

Taking the GIANTS. This is my favorite game of the day. I mean - I was doing Look Ahead Lines at halftime last week and was like, man- Giants getting run out on SNF. Unload next week! What a spot. I know that taking road faves is not a long term winner in the NFL. But New York lost every aspect of that game. Totally humiliated. And really, if that isn't reason enough. What edge does Arizona have here? QB? RB? defense? Coaching? Maybe Arizona weather over NY. If the Giants don't win this one by 2 TDs, I will be shocked. 10* Money Bomb NEW YORK GIANTS 

Taking SAN FRAN. Wow. Was I wrong about Purdy and SF. What a whipping. And as much as there is over-reactions to wins and losses, Niners look like the team that nearly made the Super Bowl last year. Rams go in to Seattle and steal one. Is that a real shocker though? Seattle needed OT to win to make the playoffs last year at home. They nearly lost in LA to John Wolford! So as much as LA plays Seattle tough - SF has won 8 of the last 9. And those Rams teams weren't shells of those teams. I think San Fran runs these guys out of the building. 8* Sure Shot SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Taking TAMPA BAY. These guys were probably my top play last week - right up there with the Browns. And I am right back on them here at home. How the heck do the Bears open as a favorite? What a joke. 11 straight losses for Chicago. Tampa, for all the hate they get - have a decent defense. It will look very good vs this outfit. Baker will bake his way to a 2-0 start to the season. TB for the South 10/1 baby! 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY 

Taking the CHIEFS. We had the under for KC last week, and this week we come back on Andy Reid's bunch. Talk about a must win in Week 2. Now - can they still lose and make the playoffs - Sure. But. The hype on the Jags (we had Colts LW) will reach Coach Prime level if they win this one. You don't want to lose a head to head vs a team that could take home field from you. Chief WRs must hold on to the ball. I am sure Mahomes, off a game like that, with extra prep, different outcome this afternoon. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS

Taking the BENGALS. Easy fade of these guys in Week 1. At home though, Burrow with a game under his belt, I'll bite. Look - never liked this coach. The OL looked shaky last week. Ravens always bring the defense (we have the UNDER also here). Ravens breaking in in a new offense and it didn't look all that great last week vs the Texans. Like KC, another team staring at 0-2. This one though vs a division rival. Kitchen sink game for Cincy off a putrid performance last week. Lamar was sharp, but they lose their RB. I think this is a slugfest and Cincy pulls away for about a TD win. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS
