Taking the CHIEFS. So I will say this. We have a couple Cleveland futures working here. But that being said, give me Kansas City. Browns a super trendy dog pick here going off this line movement. I will rave about them another day. For today, this is about Andy Reid and the prep time ATS wizard he is. 27-5 SU -  21-11 ATS  - Worth it at this price. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Taking the PATRIOTS. Here comes the Mac Attack. I thought Cam would be here, but, so it goes. This team was missing a bunch of guys on defense and still managed to win games. The Patriots will be better. I am not buying into Tua on the road. I get it - Miami HC ex NE guy. Ok. Fine. But this isn't old NE where we are laying huge numbers. This is a FG game. I think NE wins by more. Simple as that. One team out to redeem themselves and prove doubters wrong. Sign me up with the coach with some SB hardware looking to show people he hasn't lost a step. 8* Sure Shot NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 

Taking SEATTLE. Said on Mid Day Money on Saturday to try to find Russell and the 'Hawks getting points. Now with Wentz out, this line will be on the move. Jacob Eason, Sam Ehlinger, Jalen Morton and Brett Hundley listed as QBs 2-5. Anyone vet they sign will have 3 weeks to learn the system. Give me the road dogs. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Taking the TEXANS here in Game 1. An underdog. To rookie QB and HC who hasn't coached any football in 2 years. Give me the home team that nobody believes in. Tyrod Taylor has played for both this HC and OC before. I think people forget he had decent years back in Buffalo. Again, a guy playing with a chip the size of Texas on his shoulder. I will be grabbing some ML here also. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON TEXANS 

4* Total Money UNDER Seattle/ Colts

Taking the BILLS. This line is going to move to 7 or more. Short of our QB not playing, Buffalo should put up a nice 30+ here over the Steelers. Pre-season is one thing. And I had Pitt a couple times there. But regular season - hello. Big Ben farewell tour - rebuilt OL. Shaky defense. Not buying it. Not here. Bills and their QB out with a lot to prove. Taking care of the Steelers by double digits should be a nice start to the season. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Going OVER the total. So we have New QB facing Old Team. And Old Team with New QB who is the new face of the franchise. Safe to say, both guys with something to prove. Both guys with decent talent and help around them. A pair of so so defenses. We have HCs who want to get off to good quick starts. I don't see how this game doesn't get into the 50s. 4* Total Money OVER Jets/ Panthers 

Taking the FALCONS. If you watched any of the Mid Day Money August previews shows, you had to know we were coming in on Atlanta. I went over their 4-12 record - We know about that crazy Dallas loss.  But there were a couple more they let slip away. Easily could have been anywhere from 7-9  to 10-6. The offense should be fine. The defense can only get better. Back to Philly. Hurts, 1-5 in his games last year. You really think this kid is coming into the dome, with fans, and taking care of business? I don't. And if he does. Then hats off to him. I think this is going to be a 34-10 type of game. I have no doubts Falcons put up 30+ here. I would be on the over but not sure that the Eagles help the cause. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Going UNDER the total. This is pretty simple for me. I do not know what to expect out of Burrow. Kid got hurt last year. Are they going to let him stand back here and take a pounding? Minny had been a pretty good defensive club before the wheels came off last year. I think a refocus to that is in the works. We saw nothing out of the offense in August. I think it is safe to assume that Cook and the run game will be the key to it. So - more running. More defense. A HC in Cincy who I think is in over his head. Give me the under. 4* Total Money UNDER Minny/ Cincy 

4* Total Money UNDER Niners/ Lions

Taking the NINERS. This is probably my favorite game of the week. I am not rushing out my big Top 10* Money Bombs in week one. I know some guys come out with GOWs or GOYs out of the gate, but I will go Best Bet here. Still Week 1. Anything is possible. But San Fran is a good team. I like the defense. Like the coach. The offense is good. We have an entire new regime in Detroit. A QB who this defense knows. A QB with less talent than he had when he faced this defense. If SF doesn't win by 2 touch downs, I'll be shocked. A double digit win should in the making. 5* Best Bet SAN FRANCISCO 49ers 

Going UNDER the total. For me this is an easy play to make. I know everyone will be thinking TB rips into a bad Dallas defense. The Cowboys offense is potent and should score vs the Bucs. I'm not buying it. One. What are we getting from Dak? They say he is healthy. He has been out all preseason as I write this. Do we forget he was injured last year? Now we expect him to be crisp and on point at game play speed vs the defending champs. Not buying it. I am sure people think this game should be 34-30, but I see it as a 26-20 type of game. 4* Total Money UNDER Dallas/Bucs 

Taking TAMPA. Now. I was ready to grab Dallas all summer at +6. No way Tampa can't win by a touchdown. Tom Brady is the QB. Super Bowl Champs. All these guys back on both sides of the ball. Well this line has jumped up way before I thought it would. But to me, as I write this on the 22nd in August, I think I know why. Dak sitting out. Tired arm. Or MRI. Whatever it is. People in the know, know it has to be serious. I am seeing a couple 8s pop up on the screen. We saw how bad this team looked without Dak last year. Even with backup QBs getting reps with their first team, it is still not facing Tampa to open the season. This might come back to bite me - but I will have to be like the public and grab the Brady's, I mean Bucs in this spot. Also on the UNDER - 51.5 as I do this write up. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Taking the CHIEFS. We had KC last year in the Super Bowl, will take them again here - on the ML. I really have no problem laying -3 -115, but something tells me the refs will be looking at Brady like he signs their checks. Especially as a home dog. Look. I faded both of these guys in Championship Sunday. That being said, I have no problem taking the favorite today. Brady Brady Brady. That is all anyone is talking about. Oh, will he retire if he wins. Guy is the greatest ever. If you had doubts, this season should all but seal that thinking up. Guy is unbelievable. KC though. I dunno. Reigning champs. They have basically played down to their opponents the last 2 months of the season before beating up on the Bills. I guess they can 'flip the switch' and turn it on when needed. We saw last year in this game there is absolutely zero quit in this team. As well as the TB defense has played, I thought SF had as good or better defense. And we saw how that worked out. I also think we have a HC edge, Andy Reid. Guy finally got credit when he won it all But he has been more than solid his career. Let's not forget how great he is off with extra rest and prep time. Guy is cashing over 80%. No starstruck Mahomes looking at Brady. He has faced him in AFC Championship Game. No intimidation factor. The defenses will get a little chippy here. I won't be shocked at an under. I think the game plays out slow to start before things open up. Special Teams of KC i think is a difference maker.. If you are in the NY/NJ/PA region, I will be at the Fan Cave at Bally's Wild West Atlantic City. Come by for a drink or bite to eat. Grab a shirt and make some money. 5* Best Bet KANSAS CITY CHIEFS 

Taking the BILLS. No Mahomes. Or a concussion Mahomes. Don't think it makes a difference. We will buy more Buffalo if we somehow start getting some points here. But as I said last week taking the Bills, this team is good. Underrated defense. A more than solid offense. A quality HC. 5* Best Bet BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the PACKERS. Maybe this line comes down a bit more. Everyone loving the Brady story. He got his payback over the Saints last week. Now it is time for Rodgers to get his. Bad game in Tampa. I don't see Rodgers throwing 3 INTs this afternoon. Not happening. GB can run the ball. And we know they can pass it. The defense can get after Brady a bit. Not worried about Tom in this weather. But, it is Green Bay late January and Tampa is the road team. Everything went right last week in the New Orleans dome. Rodgers is the MVP this season. He shows it here. 8* Sure Shot GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Taking NEW ORLEANS. I didn't like Tampa last week, and not liking them here. I don't see the revenge angle here. 34-23 in Week 1. 38-3 Week 9. Brady has had some problems to say the least vs New Orleans. 2 TD in Week 1 2 INTs. 3 INTs 0 TDs in Week 9. The Saints defense is the real deal. 5* Best Bet NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 

Taking the BROWNS. Cashed these guys last week. Granted, we got some turnovers that always help the cause. But lets face it. That was a huge monkey for Cleveland to get off their shoulders. 28-0 vs Big Brother and then cruise control the rest of the game. Baker with 14TDs 1 INT run. Efficient. Chubb and Hunt. I think they can do enough to keep Mahomes off the field and leave the back-door, and 1 score margin open. I look for Hunt to get some extra attention vs his old team. Looking for some props for him. Look- I know Reid is an absolute BEAST with extra prep time and bye weeks. But, we the regulars looking at nearly 2 weeks of rest, I am buying into rust. How about 0-7-1 ATS run for KC last 8. 7 wins and all by 6 points or less. Now laying double digits. I'll take my shot on the dog here. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the BILLS. Everyone on the Ravens. And yes, they have been playing very well. But this Buffalo team is awfully good. The money poured in on Baltimore early, then shot up late here on the Bills Mafia. This defense is good. The offense is as good or better. This QB can run. This isn't one QB making a difference with his legs. Give me Bills by at least a touchdown. 10* Money Bomb BUFFALO BILLS 

Going UNDER. Green Bay in mid January- I'm sure the weather will be delightful. Warm weather team in the cold. The defense is tough. But the offense leaves a bit to be desired right now. We had the Rams (and the Under) last week. I am not that sold on the offense as they have had very good success vs Seattle the last couple years. Currently leaning with GB side, I think the I will grab the UNDER early as I think it will come down by game day. 4* Total Money UNDER Rams/ Packers

Taking the PACKERS. Already on the Under 46.5 here, we go with the home team. Rams in the cold. I dunno. Not buying Goff, who has a 5TD 7INTs when the weather turns chilly. Chilly thumb might act up a bit. Rodgers having an epic season and looks like he is going to try to close out an MVP Season with a Super Bowl Trophy.  Edge defense to Rams for sure, but GB offense should be able to cover this number. 8* Sure Shot GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking the BROWNS. Everyone down on the Cleveland. I will be buying at this price. No coaches. More Covid. I am in! As long as we have our RB's, I thin we win this thing. Look. Steelers started 11-0 and faltered down the stretch. I am not buying into this team. Especially with an inflated line. If Browns can get almost 200 yards on the ground tonight, we should be looking at an upset. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the TITANS. I am just not sold on the Ravens this season. Tennessee can control things with the run game. The QB can, as we saw late Sunday, make key plays. The defense, ok. - leaves a lot to be desired. But getting points at home, we will ride the home dog. I get it. Revenge Game for Baltimore. Double revenge in fact. They lost last year's playoff game 28-12. Then, thinking payback, Tennessee got them again 30-24. Everyone saying NO WAY Titans win again over Harbaugh's guy. Outright Dog 5* Best Bet TENNESSEE TITANS 

4* Total Money UNDER Bucs/ Skins

Going UNDER the total. Last 3 games between these two teams. 20-9, 23-16, 28-10. Rams winning 2 of 3. But, no QB again this week. A little film on the backup who looks like he has some wheels. But the Seattle defense has been improving. The Rams defense is stout. Look for both to play it close to the vest and not take chances knowing the defense can switch field position in a hurry. 4* Total Money UNDER Rams/Seattle 

Taking the RAMS. We have the HC edge here. Rams 5-2 SU vs Seattle and should be 6-1 if they didn't miss a last second FG. I get being worried about Goff and his thumb. But this is a defense first team. And honestly, the backup didn't look that bad vs Arizona. Getting points, with this defense, sign me up. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking the BILLS. I think these guys can give the Chiefs a run. The offense is just absolutely rolling right now. Dome team outside, in Buffalo in January. What can possibly go wrong? Under-rated defense. An MVP in the making at QB. Coach of the Year most likely. I don't think Indy keeps up. 8* Sure Shot BUFFALO BILLS 

Going UNDER in Philly. Waited to long to grab Washington as a dog, now a small fave. Alex Smith looking like he gets the nod under center. 10-5 with him calling the shots, 6-25 I believe when he's not. But this team is built on defense. And I think they will have the rookie rattled. We saw him fold up in the 2nd half vs Dallas. Hurts has some growing to do, but better than Wentz at this point. If both get to 20 I would be shocked. 4* Total Money UNDER Washington/Philly 

4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS

4* Total Money UNDER Seattle/SF

4* Total Money OVER Pack/Bears

Taking CAROLINA. I get a nice live dog QB at home this afternoon. Saints already clinched the South. Scoreboard watching GB and Seattle. Seattle and Saints both looking for a GB trip up to get home field. Possible for GB to lose at Chicago. Yes, any given Sunday is the saying I believe. Extra rest for visitors off that Minny beatdown on Christmas Day. New HC will demand a full 60 minutes from his guys. And depending how things go, NO might be pulling guys for a little breather in the 2nd half. 5* Best Bet CAROLINA PANTHERS 

Taking the NINERS. Oh these guys buried me last Saturday vs Arizona. Here I think they are mailing it in, and they come out full of piss and vinegar. Safe to say, they are not dead on the year. Last game and I am sure they will bring it. Especially against Seattle. And they get Seattle off a tough game vs the Rams. Division clinched for Seattle. This is also a spot depending on other games we can see the Seahawks pull some guys. I think SF controls this game from the opening kickoff. 5* Best Bet SF 49ers 

Going UNDER. Bucs locked into the 5 seed. I can't see Brady going entire game. Or anyone who needs a bit of rest. They just roared back to beat these guys (we had ATL) 2 weeks ago. That game was sailing to an under. Falcons on a 9-3 under run. 4* Total Money UNDER Falcons/Tampa 

Taking the COWBOYS. Leave it to this franchise to lose its QB, and instead of going into the tank after a brutal run, they win games and go from a Top 10 pick to possibly 19th. The offense will score enough to pull this one out. Giants D has carried them. Total down a bit and I still like it a bit. But I think the Cowboys pull this out. Their defense looked decent last week and I think they can stymie the GMen here on the road. The pass rush has been rapidly improving. Gimpy Jones behind an underwhelming line. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the BILLS. I know Miami is playing for their Playoff lives. But I will take the home team in this spot. Not banking on rookie Tua coming through. This is still a tough defense. A tough place to play. And, yeah, Bills could be sitting some guys. But I have seen Barkley come in at QB and do a couple things. Bills in middle of a huge dream season. Not ending it with loss at home to a division rival.  4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking ATLANTA. Nothing for Tampa to play for. Brady probably on bench at halftime or sooner. Falcons will show some pride after blowing big lead at home a couple weeks ago. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

4* Total Money OVER Balt/Cincy

4* Total Money OVER Jets/ Pats

4* Total Money UNDER Min/Det

Taking the BROWNS. Going  big with a SURE SHOT play here. Little brother vs Big brother and if they could have beat the pathetic Jets last week. I like this HC. You know I am sitting on COY futures even though I think the guy up in Buffalo has it in the bag now. What I do think we see is Pitt pull some guys in the second half for sure. I see 10s starting to pop up here. That would mean we get a full game of back-ups. Cleveland wins, and they are in the Playoffs. We know they can run the ball. They will have WRs back. And Pitt, again, they HAVE to rest guys. Their bye week was way back in Week 4. I can't see them going all game - not happening. 8* Sure Shot CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the TITANS. Gonna grab the dog here. Packers having trouble covering lately, albeit a bit of a bigger number than this. We might have some snow coming. It should be cold. I will ride this beast of a RB to the ticket window. GB always has trouble against a power run game. Tennessee brings it like a Mack truck. Might sprinkle some ML. Titans 10-3-1 to the Over but GB on a 7-4 Under run. Tough call for me on the total. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking DALLAS. We went ML last week on the Boys and will do it again. Eagles 1-6 on the road and laying points. New QB or not, I'm not sure that is the right call here. Rookie QB laying points in his 2nd start. I am still shaking my head. Dallas can still put up points. Eagles defense isn't being led by Reggie White, Seth Joyner and Andre Waters. As a Dallas fan, they absolutely win out and turn a Top 10 pick into something further down the line. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking the RAMS. Seattle with no answers for LA. Rams with straight up wins in 6 of the last 7 and the loss was 30-29, wide right with 15 seconds left after Greg The Leg hit his first 3 FGs of the game. Besides that. We have the better team. No question in my mind. Defense a clear edge. Rams know they just need to win these last 2 games. Well, would have been nice if they took care of the winless Jets last week for us. Heck. I can't tell you what I lost live betting them when they went to even money to win after cutting lead to 23-10. Brutal. Anyway. So - in off a horrible loss. A game they didn't show up for in the first half. They take care of business here like they always do. 5* Best Bet LA RAMS 

4* Total Money UNDER Panthers/ Washington

4* Total Money OVER Browns/ Jets

Taking COLTS. So the look ahead was Pitt -3. An over reaction after losing to Bengals? Maybe- Look. Steelers defense missing some pieces. Their run game has been brutal, 54.5 ypg last few weeks. Big Ben with 5 picks last 4 games. A miserable 5.5 yards per pass attempt. 3rd straight short week game for Pitt. 12 straight weeks of games. An offense that has scored 19-17-15-17 the last 4 weeks Maybe Big Ben's elbow is feeling the age after an injury. On the other side of the field, Rivers seems in sync with his new team. Taylor + Hilton have been solid weapons for the offense. Defense not terrible. Road warriors get the call. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

4* Total Money OVER Bears/ Jags 

Taking ARIZONA. We cashed the Cowboys ML last week over SF. It's over. 10 months ago, you had a lead in the Super Bowl. Now, you are playing out the string and guaranteed last place in the NFC West. Can't practice or play games in your own area. Zero motivation now as Niners have dropped 3 straight. Coach said they will be home with their families for the holidays. Last I checked Christmas Eve/Christmas is Thursday/Friday. This is a Saturday afternoon game. Yeah. These guys will be roaring to go. Arizona still fighting for their playoff lives. Arizona played these guys tough when SF was at the top of their game. Now they are down. Home team blowout. 10* Money Bomb ARIZONA CARDINALS 

4* Total Money OVER Bucs/ Lions

4* Total Money UNDER Clev/ Giants

Taking the CHIEFS. These guys have buried us the last couple weeks getting backdoored. But I will again try to cash a ticket on KC. I do like the Saints defense. But I can't see them slowing down the KC offense enough for them to make it a game. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS 

4* Total Money UNDER Jets / Rams

4* Total Money UNDER Philly/ Arz

Taking the RAMS. I'm not afraid of laying 17 here. I would lay 20. Since 2012, 17pt faves are 9-2 ATS in the NFL. Do you have faith in the Jets to hang here? They are getting beat on the road by an average of 22ppg. They got crushed by Seattle last week. Then flew home, to fly back to LA. Great planning. You don't think this Rams defense is licking it chops to fly at this offense? How about the offense against this defense? Are you going to be shocked when its 34-9? 4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking DALLAS, going  ML. I don't think SF should be favored here. Why are they favored? You like Nick Mullens this much? SF has struggled, a lot lately. Dallas still alive for the NFC East, that could be added motivation. But really, the heat is on the terrible coach here. Miracle Rodgers even won a Super Bowl with this guy. As a dog, we will gladly scoop the points and run to the ML as the Niners should not be road favorites. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking the FALCONS. This line was 1.5 last week. Now up to 6. Give me the home dogs. 4-4 since a coaching change. Better morale, defense playing better. And we are suppose to be high on Tampa? Minny did everything to lose last week and they lost. Everyone will be saying, Brady just has to win by a touch-down. Well, Brady has 11 INTs on the year. I might even go a little ML here on the home dogs. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking the VIKINGS. Again, with a look ahead line. It was Minny -6, not, a FG. And why? Because Minny lost by 12 - or should we say, Dan Bailey, at one time the most accurate kicker in history (now 12th!) missed 3 FG and a PAT. And the Bears, who the Vikes undressed in Prime Time their first meeting, found an offense against a rudderless Texans team? No way. Not buying at all. Give me the Zim at home. Bears 3-9 ATS last 12 on the road. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Going UNDER the total. I guess it would be easy to take Bills -6. But I'm not sure about that. Denver has been a dog in every game, yet has 5 wins and 8 covers. Bills in off tough game vs Steelers. Patriots up next on MNF. This looks like your typical sandwich game that gets overlooked. Denver in December so weather could be an issue. As much as they Bills put up 30 all the time, I think this one screams to the under. 4* Total Money UNDER Bills/ Broncos 

Taking the BROWNS. So yeah. Probably a little bias from me sitting on Stefanski COY tickets that will net be a few thousand and a Baker Comeback POY that will put another nickel in my pocket. That being said, there is a reason I made those bets! Stefanski has changed this team around. They are good! The OL is solid. The defense is solid. The QB doesn't have to force things to happen and make mistakes. He has a pair of RBs that can carry the team all game if need be. Now the Ravens. So I am writing this Monday before they even face Dallas. But as I take Dallas Tuesday I say - what have the Ravens looked like lately? The offense looks average. I think the league has caught up to Lamar. Much like when the offense was run in SF by Kap, the OC has yet to make adjustments. We had Cleveland in the first meeting and we were swamped. Look for some payback Let's go all the way to Romeo Crennal and 2007 for a 10 win season. Sitting at 9-3, playoffs still not locked in place. What better way to reach double digits and bury a division rival. 5* Best Bet CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the BILLS. What have we seen out of the Steelers the last few weeks that they should be favored here? I am writing this as Steelers lead 17-10 over the Redskins Monday and the Bills haven't taken the field. This Bills offense is improved. The defense is solid. No matter the outcome Monday night, Buffalo will be pumped to play Pitt. They aren't undefeated, but this team still has some goals it can be proud of. They hit 10 wins for the first time in 19 years last year. They string some Ws together and you are in 12, 13 win territory with some Super Bowl bound teams. As much as I hate Pitt, cause I do, I really like their HC. But the guy on Bills side of the field has a lot of respect from me also. Something tells me the weird pushing games back finally nips the Steelers heels tonight. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

4* Total Money OVER Pitt/ Bills 

4* Total Money OVER Packers/ Lions

Taking the PACKERS. I'll lay this road number. I'm not being scared off by a half point. I think this game is a shoot-out Will also be on the OVER 55. I think Packers put up 40+. Rodgers should be in the MVP hunt. Guy will have 40 TDs after today's game. I get the Mahomes love, but come on. We know Rodgers does it with nothing like the KC offense has weapon wise. Lions going to Lion. We had them as our Free Pick video last Sunday and they delivered after firing their pathetic coach. But, it was a real battle and we need some Bears misery by Trubisky to pull that baby out. Detroit's win streak comes to an end in abrupt fashion. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Wash/SF

4* Total Money OVER Colts/ Raiders

Taking the JAGUARS. I get that the Titans in off a loss and need a win. But are they really this big a favorite? We have seen Jax put up 24-25 the last 2 weeks against possible 2 playoff teams. We toss out the Tyler Luton game vs the Steelers, again, a pretty decent team, and the Jags add scoring of 20-25-29. This Titans defense isn't some juggernaut. Jags even at 1-11, are fighting every game. Too many points to pass up here. 4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 

Taking the CHIEFS. Lost with these guys last week. Should have been a near 20pt win. But it was just a fat loser. On to the new week. KC has not looked sharp offensively the last 2 weeks. Add not showing up for basically the 2nd half Tampa and the Chiefs are looking a little bland. I like the Dolphins. I like their coach. But I think this game will be a huge home dog public play. Especially with that half point looming. For me, when I see that I am running to the favorite. I think KC puts up 30 here. I think Miami offense is struggling right now. Should be a double digit win for the road warriors. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS 

Taking the GIANTS. I can't stand the NYG. This team looks terrible half the time. But, the defense. The defense gives this guys a chance every game. I have been waiting for them to collapse from the weight of near misses. It has not yet occurred. I don't think it will now, especially off a big road win. My dumb butt was on Seattle even before the QB news. NYG defense will shut down the Murray. HC Kliffy was totally schooled by our 10* Rams + McVay play. Judge has proven to be a good HC in his short time. Edge HC. Huge edge defense. Home getting points. Sign me up. 4* Money Maker NY GIANTS 

Taking the VIKINGS. So, I have a nice future on Minny Under Wins - But I will grab the points here. Minny just plays close games. 12 games on the year. Here are some final margins of 8 of them. 1-2-1-6-6-1-3-3 If we take out the 1st two games of the year, we have a 10 games of them in every game. Heck, their bad loss at Atlanta was basically 3 Cousins INTs. Bottom line, after getting a hang of their new OC, Minny has been tough. Where the heck does Tampa get off laying this kind of number vs a team that can score? Or really any half -way decent team. Brady looks bad at times in games. I don't have faith in their defense to have a meaningful back-door stop. Everyone will be on Tampa saying, Oh, Brady just needs to win by a TD.. over Cousins. Sign me up. Wrong. This game will be close, maybe we steal it, maybe its just a FG loss. Give me the road team. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Taking the RAMS. December football. Time to separate the men from the boys. And the Rams are the men. Kudos for The Hoodie doing a great job with this patchwork team from NE. Pounding the Chargers and their HC (hello, I hate Lynn but still took them Sunday) doesn't really do it for me. You have a coach who coach on the other sidelines today. 13-3 Super Bowl revenge ready for the taking. For me though - the defense. We cashed Rams last week as our GOW and again due to huge edge on DL and CB. We got a pair of guys who are absolute game changers. The offense is much better than the Pats. Don't let that 40 spot fool you. This New England offense has sputtered vs real teams. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking DALLAS. This is tough for me. As a fan, I want these guys to flame out so they get a Top 5-10 draft pick. Also as a fan, I think they can still run the table and win the division. As a bettor, I am taking any points from Baltimore. Let's not be fooled by what we saw vs Pitt (we had the Steelers). This Ravens team has been sputtering for sometime on offense. Maybe a leaky Dallas D is what they need. Who knows who is their QB this week? A 3rd stringer? Again, the Dallas offense should be able to put some kind of points up. When will it happen, who knows. This is just a lot of points to give a rested team vs a team that let it all hang out when the world was against them Wednesday afternoon. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Money Maker SF FORTY NINERS 

same write up from Sunday -- Taking the REDSKINS. Give me this Washington team getting double digits. They can play some defense. I have said that every time I have backed them this season. I like the coach. And again, the defense can play with anyone. Alex Smith is a hero coming back from his leg injury. If the offense can put some points up, this is a team to be taken seriously. We know Pitt plays down sometimes. Now they are in uncharted waters with a Tuesday game. So a super short week. Undefeated or not, Washington in the hunt for the NFC East crown and won't be overlooking or taking the Steelers lightly. Maybe the undefeated season weight is too much. I find it a tragedy that Denver had to suit up Sunday, while the Ravens get a free pass after free pass from the commish. I hope someone on the Pitt defense breaks Lamars leg Tuesday night. They will be more focused taking out that rival then Washington, non-conference opponent coming to town. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON

4* Total Money OVER Wash/Pitt - Like the OVER 1st half also

Taking the CHIEFS. I'll lay anything less than 17 here. Denver, no matter who is behind center, has trouble getting into the end zone. KC cruised to an early lead and coasted to a win vs Tampa last week. Division game. Rivalry. Statement game to let the league know the best team still resided in the AFC West. 2 road games up next. Give the fans a nice 44-10 win. 5* Best  Bet KC CHIEFS 

4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS 

Taking SEATTLE. Doing this before the Monday nighter. I just can't see NYG keeping Wilson under wraps. That's it. Fade the Giants. This NYG team has been playing with fire all season. Just look at their games the last 2 months. I mean, to the wire. 19-17 at Cincy, 23-20 at Washington, 25-23 Tampa, 22-21 at Philly, 20-19 vs Washington, 37-34 at Dallas, 17-9 at Rams with late INT. Ok. so you tell me they will cover since they play it close. I see a team that is sitting 4-7, first place or not, literally in coin flips. That has to take a toll on guys. Nothing easy. I get they have Seattle in a short week here. Win, and this line probably ticks up - Lose, and I think it ticks up. Seattle has the Rams on their heels win or lose. Arizona lurking. Russ at home gets the nod for me. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking the RAMS. What is going on with Arizona? No home field edge here. Take away that Hail-Mary vs the Bills and you have 4 straight home losses. Now 2 straight losses, 17ppg. Couldn't score in NE. Sitting at 6-5 with SF on their heels at 5-6. 7-3 Rams in off loss to said Niners. But, Rams with 6 straight wins over Arizona, 5-0-1 ATS. Rams with McVay. 21-10 SU, 19-12 ATS on the road, plus 14-7 SU 13-8 ATS vs division. 4 TO's doomed LAR last week. I expect a crisp offense this afternoon. And defensively for us, we have the 2 best guys on the field. On the line with Donald, in the secondary with Ramsey. 10* Money Bomb LA RAMS 

Taking the TEXANS. Again these guys are home dogs. We saw them take care of New England 2 weeks ago. They had a nice game against the Lions. Three wins their last 4 games. The loss was that crazy 10-7 loss in Cleveland. And we saw the Browns play 3 weather games in a row that could have went any which way. Now- I am high on Indy. I have an Over win ticket I am looking at. But, let's look at the last few weeks. Titans ran all over Sunday. They rallied over GB and needed a fumble to pull out a home win. We had them in their win over Tennessee on Thursday night. We faded them the week before vs Baltimore. Texans opened vs KC, Baltimore and Pitt. Who is not going 0-3 there? They lost to GB. An OT road loss vs the Titans. Getting points, have to take this team. Better than their record. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON TEXANS 

4* Total Money OVER Browns/ Titans

Taking the FALCONS. We had them 2 weeks ago and they got rolled up by New Orleans. We will jump right back on them as home dogs here. I have not been impressed with Hill at QB for NO. You do have to tip your cap to the Saints defense though. This looks like a pretty good unit right now. Falcons put up over 40 last week for us. We had ATL and the Under so we were happy. I saw a stat that short-revenge (2-3weeks) teams that lost the first, came back to go 19-4 83% in game 2. Nice trend to have on our side. This is the 2nd of 3 straight road games for New Orleans. A trip to Philly up next. So they get a practice squad WR at QB to start, and the mess in Philly to finish a 3 gamer. Falcons playing for pride at this point. And contracts! Like their HC Morris who is looking to prove something to other teams. Team has responded under him so far, and the defense getting 5 TOs vs the Raiders, they should be playing with added confidence. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Same write up from Sunday -- Same write up as Thanksgiving when I had Pitt -2 . Taking the STEELERS. I sorta liked Titans on Sunday but stayed away. Not sure why. Everything I thought about the Ravens seems to be coming true. The Greg Roman offense is not a surprise to league defenses anymore. We saw Kap dominate and then be terrible. We saw Lamar dominate, and now he is not terrible, but the play has dropped off. Now they face the Steelers who just seem to grind away every week. Short home fave on a short week. Ravens in off a real physical loss to Tennessee. A Titans team you know they wanted to beat for playoff revenge from last season. Now they are staring at Pitt team that may be eyeing an undefeated season. 4* Money Maker PITT STEELERS  * Added. If the Steelers don't come out and not injury Ravens players on purpose, I will be shocked. They are going to take out every bit of frustration on these saps. You don't think they feel like this a personal attack on them. And they get screwed playing Tuesday while Baltimore gets Monday. Another short week? Oh heck no. If this game isn't a 20+ point win I will be shocked. *

Taking SEATTLE. Extra rest off their Thursday night victory, we will fade Philly. We were on Eagles last week. I have no clue why. I am sitting on Browns HC of Year tickets so why am backing Philly, who, since their Super Bowl win (behind Nick Foles, Not Carson Wentz) 22-22-1 SU! Seattle beat these guys twice last year and 8 of the last 9 times they played, 0-6 ATS in recent meeting. If we are saying Wilson is playing 'bad' lately 7 INTs - what is Wentz playing? 40 sacks - 14 INTs - 9 lost fumbles. Philly has yet to score 30 this season 1-4-1 SU when not playing the NFC East. If this was a normal home-dog where a bunch of Philly fans were acting the fool, maybe we can rally around the home team. Not a chance in this atmosphere. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking the PACKERS. This should be an easy double digit win. We have GB in off OT loss to Colts. Bad enough to lose on a fumble to start the OT. But blowing a double digit lead is also bad. Full focus A-Aron tonight in Prime Time. Packers the #3 scoring offense while Bears can't score 16ppg. I don't care who is QBing tonight, it won't matter for Chicago. 5-5 with 5 straight losses. They could be 0-10! Final possession games vs Carolina and Giants. Rallied from double digit deficits against the Lions and Falcons. And the Tampa Bay Thursday night game. This team is an absolute fraud. Saints at 8-2. Rams and Seattle at 7-3. Tampa at 7-4, Arizona 6-4. GB needs to continue winning for playoff implications. 10* Money Bomb GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Taking the CHIEFS. I will put what I put in my write up last Sunday vs the Raiders - well, minus the bye week stats. This was heading into that Sunday Night game. Andy Reid is 17-1 SU 15-3 ATS run when Andy has Mahomes under center. This is being written before that game ends, and before Tampa takes the field Monday night. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS

Taking the FALCONS. These guys let us down last weekend for sure. But I expect a bounce back here as home dogs. HC Quinn gone - we saw them go 6-2 the 2nd half of last season. They already have been playing much better under Morris. So the Falcons lost to a division rival. But the Raiders really had their hearts ripped out in their division showdown. They were home, in prime time, and collapsed late. Tough to get up off the mat after that one. Now cross country for an early start game. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking ARIZONA. This will probably be a square play by the time Sunday rolls around. But you have to feel good about the Cards. We got extra rest. We have Murray healing up a bit. We know they have been in all their games. Zero quit. I know we are at a disadvantage in the HC department. NE 4-6, but could be 6-4. Well, Arizona is 6-4, they could be 8-2. If Cam gets in vs Seattle and if they don't fumble. If Arizona scored in this spot, but its a FG by Detroit. Look. All teams have coulda, woulda, shouldas. I know one thing. Arizona has scored 30 in 6 straight before losing 28-21 on Thursday. I can't see NE slowing them down enough to remain in striking distance. They couldn't do it last week vs Texans. Running up the field against the Jets, does that count? Give me the upstarts. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA CARDINALS 

Taking the TITANS. Man I wanted to take these guys last week. Not sure why I backed off. Left a lot of money on the table. We will grab them here though. We had Colts Thursday night when they first met, we will take the road team again. Both teams in off OT wins. Colts defense is a tough unit. Rivals know each other well. This is a huge game as Indy can take a 2 game lead in division, or Titans knot it up again. Indy 20-4 SU last 24 in the series, 16-8 ATS. I just think this screams FG goal game by whoever has ball last. 4* Money Maker TENN TITANS 

4* Total Money UNDER Raiders/ Falcons

Taking the BILLS. Chargers a nice story with their rookie QB. But their HC has got to go. Why I really like this game. A couple reason. Right off the bat, early start on East Coast. Poor HC who makes terrible in game adjusts. Weather could be a factor. LA, Buffalo. Totally different elements end of November. Buffalo has a pretty good defense. The offense is pretty darn good too. I can't believe we are getting this at less than a touchdown. Maybe its too good to be true. We will rate it a best bet instead of money bomb, but in the end, we are still collecting. 5* Best Bet BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking DALLAS. We had the Cowboys on Sunday and will come back with them here on Thanksgiving. As bad as this season has gone for Dallas, I still think it has talent. The defense is bad, no argument. But I don't think Washington is capable of really exploiting it. On the flip side, we will be jumping on the under here as well. I have always like the Redskins defense and their HC. But at this price, we will grab the home team. A little momentum off a road win. Short week helps them even though it is a division rival. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS
