 10* (307/308) New York/New England OVER 46

NFL AFC TOTAL OF THE YEAR

Brad Diamond Sports

 The first item of note, a New England win will earn a bye situation in the playoff for Billy B. and company. Last week NE struggled somewhat defeating Buffalo 24-12, as they now have gone UNDER in seven of the last eight games.  The Patriots offense seems off with a 26.5 points per game, while the defense has been solid this season allowing slightly over 21 points per game.  The opposing Jets show losers of four straight, while dropping the initial encounter this season versus NE 27-13 in New York.  The total in the game was 46-1/2 as it was early this morning out in Las Vegas.  New York has issues on defense giving almost 27 points a game.  However, they will try and grab the tempo early with their running attack, but we believe the Patriots will jump on them fast to grab the lead. From the current reality point of view, the Jets have averaged almost 32 points a game the last six tests 2018.  When playing up in New England these old rivals has shot OVER at a 7-3-1 clip. New York has gone OVER 4 straight and 4-0 OVER after exceeding 350 total yards on offense last time out.  Also, they are 6-1 OVER the last seven when on turf.  The last four meetings in NE the Patriots averaged 31 points.  Also, New England has gone OVER back-to-back times in the second game of a homestand. No doubt the Patriots have gone UNDER 7-of-8, but we have defining circumstances for the home unit looking at the post season, so expect the Patriots to score consistently this afternoon.  Good Luck.

8:20 Eastern

4* (129/30) KANSAS CITY/Seattle OVER the total

Note, play this quickly as we expect the number to move higher once the action starts coming in on the encounter.  As far as the total with injuries and current reality factors included should be a high scoring encounter. The history illustrates so, as the total has gone OVER 4 straight games. Now with the Chiefs having a very forgiving defense versus the rush, the play again is to go HIGH.  Good Luck.

NFL EARLY TOTAL ALERT

4* (113/114) HOUSTON/Philadelphia UNDER the total

In the "don't laugh" category we have the Birds and Texans going

UNDER the total.  This is such big game for both units, can't 

help believe the Eagles will look to garner yardage from their

banged running back set. This should reduce the amount of throws

by QB Foles. Since we believe this will be a "short" game, the

technical data has some supporting items as Houston is 8-1-1

UNDER in Week 16 and 23-9 UNDER in December. Philadelphia who

once again is in late season mode shows 8-1 UNDER at home versus

a >.500 road club and 6-1 UNDER overall at home. Good Luck.

3* (331) NEW ORLEANS -6 over Carolina @ 8:15 Eastern

NFL Monday Night Appreciation Alert...BDS

Cashed another major NFL ticket last night with the Rams/Eagles Over the total.

This time around we're using New Orleans who already clinched the NFC South

crown. Carolina (6-7) is in second place trying to create late season heroics. 

If the Panthers win tonight they will still be alive for a playoff round, but 

will need some luck most likely coming from possibly the Bears who will 

play the Vikings Week #17. Carolina (24.9/25.5) has experienced playoff games the

last 4 of 5 years, they need to win out to continue their streak. Whereas,

the Saints (11-2) bounced back nicely last week from their Dallas loss shuting

down the Bucs on the road 28-14, again illustrating their defensive

improvement the last five games surrendering just 13 points on average per

showing. New Orleans (34.4/21.8) has six wins on the road (2018) the average point 

differential +13.8 points per game. This is the third straight road game for

the Saints, and they can't be but a little hazy with their playoff schedule not

in doubt. However, QB Brees is such a competitor, and he will look to take

advantage of a unit that has had some salty sack marks during the season utilizing

the Saints solid offensive line. Carolina's QB Cam Newton has improved with the

addition of the new OC, the passer is hitting 72% with 263 yards per game the

last seven times out. Remember this is a quarterback, though, that has shoulder 

problems! The Panthers are 5-1 SU at home, losers of 5 straight, however. 

Considering some of the nagging injuries defensively it would quite difficult to

position the Panthers in our forecast. Granted they do have the home field edge,

while playing for their playoff lives, but they have too many issues on both sides

of the ball to get the job done.  Remember the Saints have covered 4 straight in

this building, and have taken 6 of 7 ATS in the series.  The road unit in the

series is 24-10 ATS. Overall, New Orleans has cashed 4 straight versus losing

teams. With Carolina 0-5 ATS the last five, 0-4 ATS in December and 0-4 ATS off

a SU loss, take the road unit this evening.  Good Luck.

8:20 Eastern

10* (329/330) Philadelphia/Rams OVER the total 

NFL SUNDAY NIGHT TOTAL OF THE YEAR...BDS

Since QB Wentz is declared out for Philadelphia in is night special out in California, we'll

move away from a side opinion and look at the total.  Despite what the media and fans estimate

I believe we'll see a high scoring game, especially with the Eagles physically injured and in

disarray. The Rams show 7-1 OVER after allowing less than

Okay, the series shot up the last 5 in Seattle dating back to 2006.  And, the Seahawks have gone 4-0 OVER L4 this season with the Vikes 4-1 OVER week #14 L5.   However, with some obvious trending data, feel value has now accrued to UNDER with the driving line on an up-tick.  Remember, the streaking Seahawks (7-5) have a strong angle on nationally televised games, especially in Monday editions going OVER 6 of 8 games.  Also, they are a super 5-1 UNDER after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in the last game.  The Vikings  (6-5) have hit UNDER L4 during December and 4-0 UNDER on turf.  And, they bring a 5-1 UNDER L6 mark Monday's and 5-1 UNDER off a SU loss.  Good Luck.

NFL False Favorite Game of the Month

Brad Diamond Sports

Same season revenge is always a special event for former Super

Bowl Champions who lost in their initial battle at home versus

the subject opponent.  Guaranteed, the Eagles will be at the

very best they can be Sunday in a hostile enviorment, they

have the emotional edge. In addition, the Birds show 5-2 ATS

at Dallas, while the road unit is 11-3 ATS in the series. 

The Cowboys bring a 4-12-2 ATS record in week #14 of the

season. Final Note, play this angle quickly as the line

is already moving on Saturday.  Good Luck.

8:20 Eastern

5* Jacksonville (101) over Tennessee

NFL Thursday Night Encounter...BDS

Sunday Tennessee (6-6) survived a surge by the Jets 26-22. On the

other hand, Jacksonville (4-8) stopped the bleeding after a 7 game

losing streak with a 6-0 win over Indianapolis. With the Jaguars out of 

playoff contention their motivation will be as a spoiler with the Titans

still having a chance at the post season.  In their initial battle this 

season in September the Titans won 9-6 at Jacksonville. They have 

won the last three in the series. As a special reminder in that test

the Jags held Tennessee's offense to 233 total yards. Over the last 

three games, Jacksonville has stopped the run...3.3 yards per game on

average. The Titans rush defense doesn't help on that side of scrimmage

giving up 5.7 yards per game on the ground the last three football games.

We note, RB Fournette is returning for Jacksonville Sunday. Also, over 

their last three games Jacksonville has allowed 14.7 points per game, 

Tennessee surrendering 31.3 points. Actually, the two clubs have similar

numbers from the scoring standpoint on both sides of the ball, the Jaguars

16.9/20.2 and the Titans 18.4/20.4. Emotionally, the Jags have nothing

to lose and will play with abandon as they are in TRIPLE REVENGE versus

the Titans. Technically speaking, the Jaguars come 6-2 ATS in the month

of December with the Titans 8-20 ATS L28. We realize the recent spread

series favors Tennessee. Though, we can't discount Tennessee's 1-6 ATS

record week #14 and their horrid record off a SU win of 16-35-2 ATS.

Good Luck, and happy holidays. We have won three straight cards right

here.

3* New Orleans (301) over Dallas (H)

The Saints show with a 10-1 SU record, the aspiring and inspired Pokes 6-5.

As far as the line it opened -7-1/2 NO out in Las Vegas, it stayed steady,

though, William & Hill at NO -7 this morning. Home standing Dallas has been

on a nice season run winning three straight and have a possibility of winning

the NFC East.  The visiting Saints are rolling and seemingly have a similar

momentum to Philadelphia back in December of 2017. They are in command

of the NFC South with Panthers (6-5) a little to far behind at this point in

the season, so if you doubts that might be the only one, with NO starting 

slow tonight against a home club that will be jacked up for sure. Statistics

do accrue edges for NO ranked #5 (417) in yards per game with Dallas #25 

(334). Critical on the road is 3rd down coversions, but the Saints rating is

at #8, while the Cowboys improves are still down at #15. The public might

find it misleading when it comes to the percentage of rushing plays, as

New Orleans (#2) shows 47.9%, while #6 Dallas has a 44.7%. When the Saints

are on the road they give more in the running game chowing down 59%. Also,

and in contrast New Orleans (73.2) is ranked #1 in opponents yards rushing

per game. Overall, we you calculate the Saints (#2) points per play of 0.570

the picture still looks to be the road unit.  Technically when assessing

yards rushing it really point to New Orleans who bring a perfect 6-0 ATS record

after holding the last opponent to 90 rushing yards or less. Realize the

public might thinking letdown by the Saints, but the Pokes show 2-7 ATS

at home against a >.500 road unit. And, to forget (8-0 ATS turf) is on a 

majestic 9-0 ATS L9 games on the board. Finally, we know the underdog has

scalped 9-of-11 ATS, but the Saints show 8-3 ATS versus Dallas. Good luck, 

Brad Diamond Sports. SPECIAL NOTE: RB Elliot may play for the Cowboys.

4* Green Bay/Seattle OVER the total

NFL THURSDAY NIGHT KEY TOTAL...BDS

Both units have been inconsistent this season with the Packers arriving 4-4-1 overall, the Seahawks 4-5 this season.  Normally, these two units have brought points to the end zone, especially lately.  Over the last four games GB is averaging 27 points per start, while Seattle has averaged 25.7 points the last four games.  The series has shot OVER 3-1-1 in Seattle.  The Packers are 6-0 OVER on the road and 17-4 OVER off a SU win.  The Seahawks (if not wasted from last week) should be in prime form to duplicate or exceed their 25.7 points per game L4 times out.  Seattle is 4-1 OVER in week #11 and 5-2 OVER after accumulating less than 150 yards passing last time out.  Look to go OVER tonight in prime time.  Good Luck.

10*  Dallas over Washington

From the Washington perspective what I like about this game is the fact they play after a somewhat phony win against Carolina.  In that encounter the Panthers checked in with three early turnovers to alter the psychology of the football game...Washington 23-17.  Dallas is one of my favorite teams now from the talent and aggression standpoint, as they are now accruing solid play out of the QB position. The techs generate my angles for Dallas with a 4-0 ATS streak.  Also, the Pokes 5-2 ATS against the NFC East and 5-2 ATS in the series.  Trending the 'Skins have a 1-6 ATS mark versus the NFC East and 1-7 ATS record after a SU win.  Finally, with Washington 0-4 ATS in week #7, take Dallas.  Good Luck.

4* (468) Jacksonville (3-3) -188 over Houston (3-3)

Note, this should be a low scoring game with the Jags concentrating on ball control and defense.  Over the last few games the Jacksonville defense has allowed 30 points to Kansas City, 40 points against the Cowboys.  They have scored just 109 points in six games, surely the main reason the "total" off-shore being dropped to 41-1/2.  From the Texans standpoint offensively, they fair somewhat better with QB Watson #4 in the AFC throwing the football, 1,798 yards with 9 touches , but 7 interceptions.  As a unit Houston has won three straight (Indy, Dallas and Buffalo) after starting 0-3 SU.  Last year in the series the Jags won both 45-7 and 29-7.  We feel Jacksonville is in "jacked up" mode with the Eagles on-deck, while catching the Texans who are 0-7 ATS on grass.  We don't care if Houston covers, in this SU situation.  Good Luck.

4* (459/460) Carolina/Philly UNDER 45

Close call here, but still seriously prefer the under.  The home standing Eagles (3-3) jump into seemingly a good situation, at home, colder weather and a rejuvenated QB Wentz who is 13-3 SU at home, calculating an incredible 30/9 touchdown ratio.  Last time out Philly crushed the Giants on Thursday night 34-13 up in New York. However, they are banged up physically, especially on the offensive line.  And they do miss their key running back when facing winning units. The visiting Panthers dropped a difficult road tilt in Washington 23-17 last week, which has much to do with our total selection.  In that game, the former #1 rushing unit (154) Carolina was held to just 81 yards. And, three early turnovers took away any early momentum building play.  What could hurt the Panthers against the Eagles is their #26 rating in third downs of six yards or more (21.9%).  With the expectations of some swirling winds at times, HC Rivera will look for his QB rushing the ball more often.  The Panthers and Eagles have allowed on average 22.5 and 19.5 points per game this year.  Also, both teams are in the second half of teams in total yardage earned per game.  Technically with Carolina 13-5 UNDER in week #7 and Philly 7-1 UNDER at home, we prefer to go low this afternoon.  Thanks, Steve Diamond of Brad Diamond Sports.  Special Note:  This season  totals are a perfect 10-0 most recently in all sports.

4* Titans +7 over LA Chargers

This is a great encounter for Tennessee under valued, away from home against a highly marketed unit.  Charges, not so great, inflated road number in letdown spot, while taking the Titans for granted.  Tennessee shows in an old NFL system for neutral sites as the dog, 11-5 ATS.  Good Luck.

(102)

4* LA RAMS over Minnesota @  8:20 Eastern

The home standing Vikings play with a 1-2 SU record, losing to the once struggling

Bills 27-6 last week. QB Cousins (965) is the #2 rated passer in the NFL suffered

some inconsistency, while being harrassed by the DL of Buffalo. We note, Minny 

does have a few offensive linemen banged up. Overall, you Twould think the Vikes

are going to rebound from their horrible weekend. They are traveling to LA on a

short week, but have won 5 straight in the series. The Rams show 3-0 SU against

units with a combined record of 1-8, out scoring 102-36. They have the #1 

scoring defense in the NFL holding the opponents down to just 12 points a game.

Offensively, Goff (111.0) and Gurley (255) have been highly effective supported

by their wideouts and effective offensive line. LA is 6-2 ATS in September and

4-1 ATS L5 week #4 encounters. The Rams are a perfect 3-0 ATS in 2018.  The 

visiting Vikings bring a 0-4 ATS mark against winning teams, while going 1-4 

ATS when challenging the NFC.  Good Luck.

10* Minnesota/LA UNDER the total

The math started at 47 in the opening of the Strip last Sunday night.  It has now reached 49-1/2 (would love 50) on Thursday morning.  But, most likely the sharps will dive in late to take the UNDER with the public going the wrong way based their on frames of references.  The key inside the game is the fact the Rams have lost 5 straight against the Vikings as the "defense" for Minny has brought it big time in order to mitigate long scoring drives.   Remember LA is 3-0 SU against 1-8 teams, although I would not discount them covering the 7, but still must support an overall defensive battle considering this is week #4 with each club having more film on their opponents.   Minny shows off a horrific home loss to Buffalo scoring less than 15 points, that shows a 15-6 UNDER for the Vikes.  Also, the Vikings come 4-1 UNDER after throwing for 250+ yards in their last game.  The RAMS bring a solid 10-3 UNDER mark at home against a losing road club and reflect the #1 scoring defense in the NFL.  No matter, the value inside is  the Vegas total which appears to be primed for an UNDER.  Good Luck.
