Taking DALLAS. A nice win Sunday with these guys, will come right back on them again. We can even say we lost with them in Green Bay. Simple for me. Defense. Dallas has it. Micah might be a question mark. He is great. But the overall unit, it's good. We can go simple and say hey, Giants lost at home to Dallas with Cooper Rush. They can't beat Dak on the road. Cowboys have won 9 of the last 10 in the series. They are the better team. They are winning the same all season. Defense. Run game. Giants always in dog fights with bad teams. I think Seattle is the best team they played and they lost by 14 on the road where they were handed a TD on the 1 yard line. I hate taking Dallas on Thanksgiving, but, they are right there with the Eagles and Niners as the best in the NFC. Should be a 14 point game. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the NINERS. Playing this one in Mexico City - These are my guys to win the NFC. Now. Will their HC muck it up like he usually does. Probably. But for now, they should take care of Arizona. Maybe Murray plays. I think Colt is better at times. But this is about defense. The Niners bring it. It is about offense. San Fran can run all over you. They also have a QB that just wins.  4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Taking KC.  like the Under here also. Chargers in off a hard fought game vs Niners. Same SF team we saw KC pulverize 44-23. Now, that doesn't real mean too much now does it. LAC seems to give KC all they can handle the last few years winning 2 of the last 5 and forcing OT in 2 of the 3 losses. I just cannot get behind this Chargers staff or offense. How about the injury situation? How about Herbert with 8 TDs and 5 INTs his last 7 games. Guy is mediocre without his WRs. Finally. Home Field Motivation. With the Bills slipping, KC now has home field for the Championship Game. Any Reid takes care of business for us here. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Taking DALLAS. What a disaster last week with these Cowboys. But we move on. For me, this is about the defense vs Cousins. These guys will be all over him. That will force him to rush and make mistakes, or get sacked. Neither a positive outcome. Dak working his way back and looked rusty out of the bye week. He will be fine here. Dallas can run the ball. Minnesota is a team that has been in some nail-biters. 8-1 losing to Eagles. Detroit 28-24 - Saints 28-25 - Bears 29-22 - Miami (no Tua) 24-16 - Cards 34-26 - Washington 20-17. And last week. 33-30. Every game is one possession. I think Dallas is the better team. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Total Money UNDER Vegas/ Broncos

Taking the COLTS. Man on man. If I knew Matt Ryan and Taylor were back last week, I would never had bet the Raiders. This is the problem getting down on games on early. When someone say, yeah this is our guy going forward. And then a new guy says nope. Anyway. We lost. We move on. But we will grab the points here. Taylor is the difference maker for Indy. They play decent defense. The OL was a mess. This is a team that beat KC here back in September. They can win. Eagles on a short week. Now. Is the sky falling - of course not. But for 2 straight weeks they have allowed RBs to get yards. And this guy is the best of the bunch. I think this is a low score slug fest. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Taking SAN FRAN. I know the love is on Philly. Maybe some Dallas backers. But for me - SF and Jimmy G are Super Bowl bound. Chargers. Come on. They invent ways to lose and their coach is terrible. Off a bye week and can get even CMC even more involved in the offense. This team is dangerous. Solid defense, and an explosive offense. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Taking the COWBOYS. Hate laying with Dallas on the road. But, off their bye week, taking a shot here. Better on both sides of the ball than the Packers. Do we really expect Green Bay to 'turn it on' now? Rodgers has been bad this year. I know Dak is still working his way back. But he at least has Lamb to throw to. Plus a solid pair of RBs and monster defense. These guys have 33 sacks. Micah is a beast. Oh. Mike McCarthy coming back to town. You don't think this guy wants to win? And I don't even like him as a coach. His players do. And they will want to win it for him. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

4* Total Money UNDER Dallas/ Packers

Taking the RAIDERS. I had the Colts and Under last week. Terrible.  Here I am thinking we are getting our RB back, he'll help out the youngster. Patriots offense is lackluster to say the least. Now the Colts in back to back with a raw QB, in a mess of season, flying across the country, with a guy who was working ESPN as their HC now. Yeah. What can possibly go wrong? Honestly. This NFL season. Would anyone be shocked if Vegas lays an egg and Colts win 20-17? Look - Raiders season on the line. Forget the season. The coach might be on his way out the door and back to New England if they lose this one. Too much talent edge at QB, RB and WR here. 4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Taking the CHIEFS. I know this is a tough spot. We had them last week off their bye and they failed to cover. They needed OT just to get the win. 23 straight November/ December wins for Mahomes. Jaguars come in. And not that this should be an 'easy' game. KC has played probably the toughest schedule so far. Rival Chargers on deck. But I just can't back the Jaguars. I am sure Andy Reid will make sure the team doesn't over look these guys. Rallying from 17-0 down vs anyone is a sign of a tough, no quit team. I just don't see them lasting here. Against a better defense in the Titans, KC put up nearly 500 yards. 500 yards and you should be winning by double digits. I think this is a 10-13 point victory for KC today. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS

Taking the BROWNS. I thought I was going to get the bad number at 5.5 thinking it would go up. Yet. It is now a 3.5. Money showing on Miami, and yet, the line drops. I like us off the bye week. Dolphins in off a wild one in Chicago. Everyone loves Tua - Tyreek - Waddle. But give me some Chubb and Hunt to run that clock. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the BILLS. Holy cow what a nightmare here for me. I'm thinking Bills beat the Jets 38-10, Washington knocks off the Vikings, and this line goes past 10. I get Minny winning. Jets outright. And Allen hurt. Buffalo now -3.5 and you know what, I like them to cover. I won't be shocked if they win by 10 here anyway. Time for the rest of the team to say hey - we are more than our QB. Other guys are pretty good too. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

4* Total Money UNDER Jags/ Chiefs 

Taking the BEARS. Chicago loses a close a one. Lions win over every NFC North teams most hated team, the Green Bay Packers. Honestly. this Lions team is a mess. You give up almost 500 yards and pull out the upset because Aaron Rodgers looks like he is Aaron Brooks! This is really their first outdoor game of the season. And with their QB, a guy who played in Sunny LA and then in a dome - nope. Saw somewhere that Dan Campbell's Lions are 0-11-1 on the road with him on the sidelines. Yikes. Not buying them to keep it close outside in November. Fields has really gotten this offense going the last 3 weeks. We know the Detroit defense can be exposed. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO BEARS

Taking BALTIMORE. Extra rest. Sign me up. This Ravens team is a solid bunch. A couple bone head plays away from being undefeated. I am not buying the Saints beating the Raiders. That team is a disaster. This HC alone stops us from getting shut out on the road. Saints defense won't be able to stop Lamar and company. Ravens no stranger to Andy Daulton. I think they win this one by 10. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS 

4* Total Money UNDER Ravens/ Saints

Taking KC here. Andy Reid off a bye - 19-3 SU. How about Titans 27-3 last year.  Mahomes throws 4 TDs tonight. Maybe we get Tannehill. And he is not close to 100%. Or we get a rookie who went 6 of 10 for 55 yards last week. 38-17 home team. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS 

Taking TAMPA. Now normally. I would be avoiding this a side and be looking at the Under here. Rams are a shell of their Super Bowl winning selves. And if Cupp is out or banged up enough, this offense goes from bad to worse. Tampa O is no great shakes either 3 vs Carolina. 18 vs Pitt. 12 vs GB - 20 vs Saints and that was lucky. But they showed a little life vs the Ravens. And we have the Rams in off of getting abused by SF to fly across the country. Coaching edge Rams. But I think Ol' Man Brady gets it done here. 4* Money Maker TB BUCS

Taking the BILLS. Will be looking to get on Bills FH and probably a TT Over also. We will also be on the UNDER here. How are the Jets scoring? QB plays scared. The offense is and was average at best before injuries. I have said before and I will say it. Bills to the Super Bowl. This team takes off entire halves and still score nearly 30. Last week we score 3 straight TDs, go up 24-7 and then get back doored. Here. There is no Aaron Rodgers leading a march down the field. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the COLTS. We cashed with Washington last week and these Patriots. Now. This isn't Manning vs Brady by any stretch. Right out of the gate, we are also on the UNDER here. That being said - Colts Outright here. We have the best player on offense and defense. Patriots with zero play makers. They beat the Jets by 5 on some gift INTs. 17-14 over Pitt. How do you trust them. I am hoping Zappe doesn't come in at halftime and sparks something. The line is actually coming down. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Taking the EAGLES. Well - this line has totally ballooned. PHILLY FH is the play here... I still think they win by about 17. But like the Bills on Sunday night. If they take their foot off the gas, we might have to worry late. I had the Texans Sunday. I liked them before the QB change. Thought Lovie would have some answers for Henry. If he couldn't stop a 1 man offense, I find it hard to believe that they can slow down an actual team offense. And this team looks very good right now. I think Philly names the score here. 30-10 or something around those lines seems about right. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES ---------- A quick note everyone.. Have had quite a few new subs either weekly or monthly. First - THANK YOU. .I really appreciate everyone who purchases any of my picks. So again. Thanks. - I know some have emailed in about lack of plays Wednesday.  And every so often I have to address it. I do bet a lot of games. You see the numbers. But sometimes, I don't like anything. And if I am not betting it, how the heck can I put it on here when I have people putting there money on it. Believe me. A college basketball Saturday there might 25 games that are posted to be bet. This Monday, there could be 20-30 games. You see College + Pro football. Double digit games sometimes. -- Please. Mind your bankroll. This isn't 9 team parlay of your life. 6-3 is a winning day of straight bets. NBA is not a sport I love with a bunch of babies sitting out for load management. So NBA will not have the numbers of MLB, Football or soon to be College Hoops. There are 2 NBA Game Thursday night. I did the Free Pick with Hannah today. Said I like the Warriors -7.. Line is now 8. I am not using it on the site. I plan to make our money in the NFL. Everyone excited about MACtion. Well I liked the Unders the last 2 days. I didn't bet a single one. You don't have to bet everything cause you like it. Is there an edge? That is when we bet it. I'm trying to make myself, and my followers money. Not bet just to bet a game that is on TV. -- UTEP beat Charlotte 41-35 and Rice lost to Charlotte 56-23 as 15 point Favorites - and are favored today. This is a game you want to put your money on? Not me. We are locked in with NFL right now. CFB is ok at 54% (82-71). NBA is 4-1. We will find our spots and hit them. Again, thanks for following. ~ Higgs

Going UNDER the total. How are we getting 47? Is Philly scoring 44? Texans will be lucky to get to double digits. Short week with a new QB. Oh yeah. This offense will be humming. Defense travels and the Eagles is a first class bunch. Houston couldn't slow Henry last week. Now they have to worry about the entire field filled with guys making plays. If the Iggles get 40+ on short week - we will tip our caps and say wow, good job. But I think this is a 30-10 type of game. 4* Total Money UNDER Eagles/ Texans

Taking the BROWNS. 4 straight losses vs Cleveland. Sign me up. Bengals winners of 4 of 5, the loss, at the Ravens in a tight one. Chubb for about 150 and 3 scores tonight. This is me just fading the Cincy hype machine. Chase being out isn't a huge deal. Burrow has a lot of weapons. Just not a fan of laying with division road favorites. And the Browns - well. They play some wild games for sure. Cashed with them last week, and again will do it again. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS

Taking the BILLS. We have been on these guys since Opening Night and the printing press is rolling along. This is another spot where the Bills get to destroy someone. Enter Aaron Rodgers and a Packers team that is a hot mess. A team that has giving up 27 to Jets 21 to Washington 27 to NE with a 3rd stringer making his debut. And now they get MVP Allen. Forget it. Off a bye week. This game will be a 20pt funeral for Rogers. I can see maybe a desperate attempt to get about 20 points. But Buffalo drops 37-40 and it is not even close. Allen and Bills out to show everyone they are the best in the land. 20pt win here. 8* Sure Shot BUFFAO BILLS 

Taking the NINERS. Man. I said Sunday on Mid Day Money to get down on SF before the line move. And here we go. Niners a fave. Will not matter. As much as I kick their coaches back for his Super Bowl blunders, the guy owns the Rams. We had them a couple weeks ago 24-9. We will do it again this afternoon. 7-1 SU last 8. Rams beat a terrible Carolina team before their bye week. Still not buying them even with San Fran getting demolished by the Chiefs. The Rams offense is not KC - not by any stretch. This team is quick, find Cupp and throw it. Will there be some magic maybe off the bye. Maybe- and it will be short lived. Will there be any San Fran fans at this game? How about CMC going for 2 scores. Niners big. 5* Best Bet SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Taking SEATTLE. Giants cashed for us last week. We'll take it. This afternoon though, home team gets the call. Just an absolute brutal travel spot for the G-Men. Florida to Seattle. Yikes. That is some nice flyer miles though. Again. Tough back to back road games. And where is the love for Geno. These guys are top dogs in the NFC West. I know the defense is a bit suspect. But these guys put points on the board. Daboll has NYG at 6-1 and looking like a Coach of the Year. Giants have played at Jacksonville and in London. Now will get a taste of a real fan base that will be pretty pumped up for their overachieving bunch. Give me the home team. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

4* Money Maker HOUSTON TEXANS 

Taking DALLAS. So we did drop the Patriots on MNF. But you know what, that might help us here. No way the Cowboys will be overlooking the Bears, that's for sure. You beat The Hoodie on the road on MNF when the entire league is watching. You are going to get noticed. Any idea on Dallas that they would just cruise past Chicago went out the window when the showed up at practice Tuesday. And let's not forget - even though we cashed Dallas over the Lions, that game was something like 10-6 heading to the 4th quarter. That wasn't a cake walk with Dak back. But for me, this is all about the Dallas defense. It should really stymie the Chicago offense. They have done a terrific job all year. Can't see the Bears breaking out for 30+ in back to back games - both on the road - and a short week to boot. Cowboys lead the league in sacks and are 3rd in takeaways. I think they add to that and get us a 14pt win this afternoon. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking the PATRIOTS. As mentioned in the Dallas write-up - the league saw the Patriots take an absolutely humiliating loss to the Bears. 200+ yards of rushing allowed. Defense was what made these guys a good bet! 3 INTs and a lost fumble. Not being able to recover any of the Bears putting it on the ground 5 times or whatever. Terrible. Now the World loving the Jets. Riding high off that Denver road win. But costly - lose your RB, probably your best OL. Yeah. The traded with Jax for a solid RB. But still. Hall was electric. For me. This is The Hoodie owning NYJ for his entire career. Off that loss. Oh man. I don't know if Mac Jones is hurt or just working off the rust. I don't care if we get him and Zappe. Whoever is taking snaps, I need 7 points. Because I can't see how anyone on that defense is getting any rest after that performance on Monday night. 4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 

4* Total Money UNDER Bears/ Dallas 

Taking the JAGUARS. Yeah. Tough taking the Jags who are 0-6 ATS their last 6 as favorites. But there is zero chance we back Denver. Russell or Rypien. It does not matter. This offense is terrible. The coach will be canned at the end of the year barring a Super Bowl appearance.  Look at their scoring 6- 16 OT - 9 OT - 23 - 11 - 16 - 16 -- Call me crazy. I've been called worse. I have the much better coach. 8th game in 9 years here for Jacksonville not that it matters. Obviously lean under but didn't pull the trigger.  4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Taking BALTIMORE. Ravens win this game by 10 points. The Pirate Ship is sinking fast. This team is in total disarray. Injuries. Coaching. QB Play. I have the better HC. I have the better QB. And as bad as this Baltimore defense looks at times, I am still taking it over Tampa. Tampa not fixing it's issues on a short week. Grabbing the road team tonight. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS 

Taking the PATRIOTS. Have to take New England vs this offense. I do like Zappe and the offense. Heck, I would like Mac Jones here over Chicago. This is really a fade of the Bears, on the road, and facing a good defense. Just look at it. Forget about the monsoon game 19-10 over trash Lance, I mean Trey Lance. How about 10 at Green Bay and 10 at the Giants. They put points in Minny vs a team that just flew back from London. The Bears don't have Lamar and the Ravens coming to put up points. Because that is the only team to put points up. Yeah, they lost in OT at GB with a kid coming in cold off the bench. 15 points in Cleveland last week. A shutout their last game at home vs Detroit. Won't be shocked at another MNF Under here either. 4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 

Taking the STEELERS. How are you taking this Miami offense? I don't care if Tua is back. If it's Teddy B. If Marino comes back. Dante Culpepper or Fitzmagic. This team has trouble on offense. 1 game. Actually 1 quarter - the Ravens forget a NFL game is 4 quarters and Miami explodes. Say whatever you want about Pitt. I know Tomlin will have these guys ready to play in prime time and the defense never quits. MVP Mitch showing out on SNF! 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Taking SEATTLE. Holy Cow this Chargers team is a flat out disaster. And me, like everyone else thought that Denver has the worse coaching. Geez.. Look. Give me Geno and this offense. They have been scoring. I know the defense is not all that great shakes. But I got a team that is playing inspired ball right now. LAC off an OT division rival game. A win to boot. And a short week. In a home stadium that will have a lot of Seattle fans. Too many points. Back door wide open for us to scoop up the win. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Going UNDER. This Broncos team continues to set offense back. This isn't even good 80s-90s grind out low scoring football. This is terrible. I don't think this game gets past 35 honestly. Jets play defense. Denver plays defense. Jets with a young QB still feeling things out. Denver QB looks over the hill. Also injury concerns for him. Let's add in a short week. Oh. Overtime too. This team looks dead in the water. Denver at home scoring. Going backwards since 16 in Week 2 -- 11 then 9.. Yikes. 5* Best Bet UNDER Jets/ Broncos

Taking the COWBOYS. Dak possibly back? I know the fade train will be pulling to the station. Off a tough game vs Philly. But - defense baby. Dallas has it. Lions, well not so much. I expect a conservative approach as you bring your QB back. But really. Lions haven't slowed down a thing this season. And if it is Cooper Rush again, I'm not mad. That is just more Zeke and Pollard who will, if given the carries, but get about 190 and 2+ TDs between them. Dallas defense will score a touchdown today. Off a bye week, the Lions last ranked defense hasn't improved enough. And this offense, if they get their RB back, will not score 30 against Dallas. And if they do. Well. Huge win for their coach who is 4-17-1 leading this bunch. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Going UNDER the total. Oh the Broncos. What a mess. The HC is in way over his head. Russell has been outplayed by Geno Smith. Denver lose their stud RB. Let us not forget they are at like a 20% clip in the red-zone. Let us remove the flurry of points vs Vegas shall we.. 12-9 - 11-10 - 16-9 - 17-16 We know this for sure. Denver defense will show up. They have shown up in every primetime game for the Broncos this season. Chargers with their own bunch of injuries to deal with. I do have LAC -4.5 in this game, but don't trust it as much as I do the UNDER. Might be some in-game spots to grind out some more cash. But I would be shocked if this game gets to 40-44 range. 4* Total Money UNDER Denver/ Chargers

Taking the COWBOYS here. Also have Under 45.5 but that is gone. Still like it to be low scoring though which is why are taking the points. Both teams play good defense. I think this is an ugly one. Might not be Amazon NFL ugly,  but it will be old school with Dallas wanting to run the ball to easy the pressure on Cooper Rush. Can't say anything bad about Philly. Well, we can since they couldn't do much in the 2nd half last week and cost us a rare loss. This for me is the Cowboys defense keeping the Eagles in check. Should be a FG game. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Going UNDER here. We get two of the best Ds tonight. Man. This Dallas defense. What a turn under Dan Quinn. I have said this before. Micah and Lawrence. Man- they bring it. And we can't talk anything bad about the Eagles defense. They don't allow teams to score in the 2nd half. 7 to Jax. 8 to Washington. 7 to Arizona 0 to Minny. Toss out that Lions shoot-out. The team plays defense. Dallas plays defense. I won't be shocked to see something like 17-16 here. 4* Total Money UNDER Cowboys/ Eagles 

Taking the BILLS. I have said all season. Buffalo is the best team. The coin-flip revenge season is underway. They have had this game circled since their season ended. And honestly, I said on the Mid Day Show - KC going for 2 to get up 8 shows that their coach has zero faith in their defense making a stop. I don't care if the Bills have 6 backups in the secondary today - it won't matter. This offense is scoring 40. They are not taking their foot off the gas one bit. I love Andy Reid. Him and Mahomes have all types of gaudy home numbers. I get it. But the Bills are the best team in the NFL. I got this line at a PK at open. Now there are 3s out there. I don't care. I think Bills win by double digits. 5* Best Bet BUFFALO BILLS

Taking the JETS. These guys have been in it really every week. And honestly, this is a fade of Green Bay. I've been saying in Mid Day Money since Week 1 vs Minny - GB can play some defense, but they aren't scoring. Rodgers still looks like he is learning his way with his WRs. Jets play defense themselves. And the offense is coming to life under the new regime. I almost want to say Jets outright here. Line has moved down from the opener. And why not. GB again, plays down to a team and this time they couldn't pull it out. GB at home, and off a lose. I get it. you want to unload on the Packers. Jets beat a 3rd stringer. Rallied vs a rookie making his debut vs Pittsburgh and needed miracles, plural, to win at Cleveland. Angry Rogers sure. But I think NYJ can keep it close.

Do we see a pattern developing me. Forget about the huge coaching edge here for KC. They rallied to make it a game at Tennessee. They blew home lead to Arizona. They held on to beat Denver. Oh. And have you see that Denver offense? It let Wilson throw 2 TDs vs them. That is a Broncos team that everyone saw lose 12-9 at home in OT. Everyone saw a 11-10 game on SNF. How about MNF 17-16 loser at Seattle. But yeah. Raiders will slow down Mahomes. And I hear people saying how Vegas plays KC tough? What. Chiefs by double digits. * Money Maker KC CHIEFS

Taking the EAGLES. Had Philly again last week and they reward us. They have been kind in all games we have interest in them. Arizona defense will have no answers here. This isn't Carolina. Philly spotted the Jags 14 in a monsoon and then ran off 29 points to let them know who the boss is. That's the kind of stuff that teams build and grow on. The swagger. They also have a pretty decent defense. And Murray for me, not a guy who makes the best decisions under pressure. I ma just not a fan. Hurts though, huge step forward with this offense. Keep it going Iggles. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

Taking DALLAS. Man. Dallas totally exceeding my expectations. The OL has been holding up. Cooper filling in nicely for Dak. And who knows, maybe we get a Dak sighting. Rams will be off huge MNF tilt vs Niners. No matter the outcome, that is a hard fought game. And unlike SF who gets a cupcake in Carolina, Dallas will bring some defense and toughness. Parsons and Lawrence will get to Stats Padford, Matt Statsford, Pads Statsford. Oh whoever he is! Dallas keeps it close and can maybe steal one late here. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the NINERS. Give me the Jimmy G show. Whatever happens Monday night - it doesn't matter. Niners will beat this bunch. This team is a hot-mess. Rhule will be canned at the end of the season. He'll be in Arizona State or something. Sunday though,  he will be looking at the Niners beating his bunch by double digits. There was talk of the worse team this year in the NFL. Bears, Falcons, Texans. Nah. It is this bunch right here. * Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Taking the JETS. We have been on New York either in the premiums or the Mid Day Money show every week. Nothing changing now. QB1 back under center. I like the defense. Miami does have extra rest and prep time for Teddy B. Now. I like Bridgewater. And I was a bit worried with my Cincy bet when he came in. But he is a guy I want to back as a dog, not a favorite. I think like Seattle we have another live dog here that can pull an upset. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK JETS

Taking the PATRIOTS. These guys bit in the butt last week as I had GB -6 before the injury news. Then to add insult to injury QB2 gets hurt and QB3 comes in. If Zappe was the starter coming in there is no way I am taking GB -6 or 9. Not happening. I like this kid. Liked him at WKU. Liked him in pre-season. Lions defense is a flat out mess. The Patriots OCs are bumbling idiots - but this kid can make plays. This is really me thinking he is as good or better than Jones and this offense has a spark with him behind center. 4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND' PATRIOTS

Taking the BILLS. Off a pair of tough back to back road games, Buffalo is home. They get a nice revenge game vs the Steelers who were so kind to bring their prize rookie QB to the table last week. Yeah. Kid looks great rushing for 2 TDs , running around like a chicken with its head cut off. 3 INTs make it a perfect day of pass attempts (10-13). Zach Wilson carved up this defense in the 4th. What is Josh Allen going to do? This team has allowed 1 TD, 7 lonely points in the 2nd half off their 4 games this year. 3 of those on the road. Ravens - Miami - Rams are all, I think, better than Pitt. I though they would beat the Titans 37-7. It was 41-7. This one has 37-16 written all over it. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the SEAHAWKS. We had these guys to start the season out and will look to them as a live road doggy here. Geno Smith with 77% completions on the year to go with 6 TDs to just 2 INTs. Penny healthy looking good. And I said over the summer in Mid Day Money - Lockett, Metcalf, Fant and Dissly are decent targets. Now off a huge offensive output the get to travel to New Orleans. Backing a team in B2B roadies isn't my favorite thing to do. But - Saints coming home from London! I'm old enough to remember that these teams would get a bye week after that game. Bad spot here for NO. Let's be honest. Last week if Minny would not kick FGs from inside the 10 or whatever, 16-7 to could have been 24 or more to 7. Saints rally late to make it a game with Dalton. Not sure of the QB status here. But it doesn't matter. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Taking GREEN BAY. Lost with these guys last week and had them at -6 before the QB change. I know this line has moved also. And the same reason I like GB last week is the same reason I like them this week. The defense. Yeah. Rodgers is great. He is still getting in a groove with is WRs. I think they should run more since they have a pretty good RB. Get him involved a little more. This Giants team is a mess. This should be 24-10 and Green Bay not look back. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS 

4* Total Money OVER Giants/ Packers

Going UNDER the total. Have ben on these Colts Under because the offense is a hot mess. Same with the Denver totals. Though the Broncos got involved in a wild-one that cost me Sunday. Still. Short week. A pair of solid defenses. An offensive side of the ball, that for both teams, has underachieved to say the least. Not expecting any fireworks tonight. 4* Total Money UNDER Colts/ Broncos

Going UNDER the total here on Monday night. Did we not see Jimmy G last week as we cashed Denver and the Under? Look. I like Jimmy. The last 2 weeks has been his pre-season tune up. That being said, 1 of the last 5 between these two has eclipsed this total. San Fran always brings the hammer on defense. Tonight won't be any different. They will stymie Stafford. And Aaron Donald - with no Trent Williams. Just helps to add to the 3 and out counts.  For the trend people out there. Under is 7-2 last two here in San Fran 4-1 last 5 overall in the series. But for me - Niners defense Good- Niners offense Bad.  4* Total Money UNDER Rams/ Niners

Taking the PACKERS, again. Going for 3 in a row on GB. Like I said in both previous write ups. I like the defense. I like the run game. And you have to love the QB. Every game he gets more in a groove with his WRs. We saw an ugly win, but a win in Tampa. And as I also said as we cashed with the Ravens, this Patriots team is a mess. I have zero faith in the offense. I can't stand their OCs. Green Bay should wrap this up by double digits. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Going UNDER. Has anyone watched the Broncos play. Let Russ Cook is basically him not being able to boil water and then he burns the toast. 11 points -16 points - 16 points. The defense has pretty much showed up every game. 10-9-17. And the Raiders. Is this an offense that screams score at will? If the Broncos get to 17 I will be shocked. And the Denver is good enough to keep the Raiders to under 27. 4* Total Money UNDER Denver/ Raiders

4* Money Maker CAROLINA PANTHERS

4* Total Money UNDER Titans/ Colts

Taking the COLTS. Had the Titans as a Best Bet last week and we escaped by the skin of our teeth. Well, Tennessee on the road, I am not interested. Yes, Indy in a 'let-down' spot after beating KC. But they had good numbers in 8 of the last 11 vs the Chiefs. And, like the Titans, were in a huge must win spot. I trust the Colts defense a whole heck of a lot more than I do this Tennessee bunch. Also on the Under here. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the EAGLES. Man this guys look pretty good so far. Another solid defensive performance. Home spot laying a TD. I will take it. Look - Jags a nice story so far. But this is a huge let-down spot after a monster road win in LA over the Chargers. 9pt opening doggy winning outright. I don't think Philly is a team that is getting too high on their press clippings either. Back to back road games are tough enough. TD dogs in both (before injury news). I am not buying that Jags here. At home, I get it. Again - b2b roadies and off a huge upset. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

Taking the VIKINGS. Winston or Dalton. Doesn't matter. Saints have a bunch of injuries and banged up guys. I don't consider this a 'prime time' game so Cousins will toss 2 or 3 TDs to his better WRs and hopefully Cook gets involved with the offense if he's healthy. And where the heck are the Saints getting any scoring from? Last week they scored on a fumble return for a TD and a blocked FG that helped the cause. They are a mess. Payton must have read the tea leaves to get out of there ahead of time. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking the BENGLAS. I am no lover of Cincy - you all know this. But this is just a tough spot for Miami. Off 2 bruising, grinding games. Huge comeback vs the Ravens. Huge defensive stands vs the Bills. A Buffalo team that had owned them. A Bills team that put up what, 500 yards of offense. 40 minutes or whatever on the field for that defense. Yikes. Now a short week road game. At least Cincy had an 'easy' game vs the Jets. This is a big game for the Bengals. Take care of business at home here Cincy! 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS

Taking DALLAS. Are you kidding me with the Giants being favored like this? I know Copper is just 2-0 in his career, but this team does play some defense. Parsons might have 5 sacks tonight. And hopefully Pollard gets more involved in the offense. And Daniel Jones. That guy is good for at least 1, probably 2 turnovers tonight. Will be ugly with Dallas looking to churn out my guy Pollard and Zeke. But with a backup QB and a turnover prone starter on the other sideline, this game can get to over 40 by accident. Much like we said about the Thursday night Browns game on the Mid Day Money Show. Line has already shifted towards the doggy. Dallas always gets a heavy following. History says Dallas wins as they are 8-2 ATS last 10 vs the G-Men. Those were with a different guy behind center and entirely different offense. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

Going UNDER tonight. When I grabbed this I thought we would be getting the Lance nightmare. Said Bears outright in Week 1. Took Seattle in Week 2. Have Denver here at -2.5. Then he gets waffled, and my guy Jimmy G comes in. Totally different team with him. They win. Now that being said. I still like our UNDER play here. HC will be fired after this season. Wilson doesn't look comfortable at all. Maybe he should have played some pre-season games to get on the same page as his WRs. Niners always a solid defensive unit. 4* Total Money UNDER Niners/ Broncos 

4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking the PACKERS. Had them last week. Will do it again. TB a hot mess. Banged up all over the place. I said over the summer this team could have issues. They lost their center and with Brady being out all August, unders were going to be in play. We have seen it early already. Now their WR corps are banged up. Give me Rodgers here. He has now a couple games under his belt with his new WRs. Should only get better as the season progresses. Are we really buying the Tampa defense vs a Dallas team with a terrible OL and losing Dak and having 1 NFL WR on the field. Or beating Winston and the Saints with no Kamara. Come on. Aaron Jones is good. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking the BILLS. Short of Josh Allen not playing. This is a 10 + win for Buffalo. 26-11 -- 35-0 -- 56-26 -- 31--28 -- 37-20 -- 31-21 -- 42-17. Buffalo has owned these guys. Sometimes a team just has another teams number. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (line has climbed to 6 in some spots. I played the Colts at that number in the Circa contest - hoping for a middle. 

4* Money Maker HOUSTON TEXANS 

4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

Taking BALTIMORE. I understand the love for Pats at home with their HC's history. Totally understandable. No way they lose as home dogs! Did you see them score 3 whole TDs in their last 2 games. Sure, the defense looked good. I am still not buying. Lamar looks like he is in MVP form. Up 35-14 and you blow the lead and lose. Blowing leads in one thing. Ravens did that a few times last season. But I am sensing a huge comeback here. Zero faith in Patricia and Judge to get the offense going, even against a banged up Baltimore unit. Ravens with Buffalo on deck and if things go haywire here, 1-2 and possibly 1-3 on the horizon. Nope. Beat the bad team Harbaugh.  4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS

Taking the TITANS. How the heck are the Raiders a favorite. Did we not see them blow a 20pt lead at home. I mean. Why do I think plenty of teams will be run out of games by the Bills. Pretty sure we saw that happen to the defending Super Bowl Champs on their own field opening night. Must win for both teams. Only one has a real NFL HC. Guess who that is. Humiliated on MNF - big time souring on Tennessee by everyone. Raiders never play good crossing time zones East. They have their own set of problems to sort out. Home dog in a must win. Sign me up. 5* Best Bet TENNESSEE TITANS

Taking the VIKINGS. Faded Philly in Detroit. Will do it again here. You know what I think of the Eagles. Think they are an overrated bunch. I think Minny will be a dark-horse this year. New HC to take this offense to the next level. Should be a shoot-out. We have the better QB - RB - WR and defense. Getting a couple points is nice, but we win this outright. I don't want to hear about Cousins in Prime Time Games. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking the BILLS. Man on man. We said in Mid Day Money on Thursday before the Bills beat the Rams, and we said it in Look Ahead Lines on Sunday night before the Thursday Opening Kicking - Take them now because after the Giants (who we had in our 10-3 Week 1 of NFL) beat the Titans, this game will go to 10. Hello double digits. Again, we have a good number. I still think the Bills take this one by something in the 'teens. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS
