The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (4-8) will be aiming to start the climb towards a .500 record when they take on the Rhode Island Rams (7-3) this afternoon.

Rhode Island enters today’s contest as winners of two straight, but they most recently needed overtime to beat Western Kentucky. Away from home, the Rams have lost all but one contest, which came on a neutral floor. In their most recent away game, Rhode Island fell to West Virginia by five.

On average, the Rams are scoring 75.2 points while allowing 71.8 points per game.

With a win, the Eagles (8-7) will be NFC East champs. Today, they’ll go on the road to take on the Giants (4-11). The over/under is set at 45.5 points.

Philadelphia has struggled with injuries all year, and they’ll be missing both Nelson Agholor and Zach Ertz today. The Eagles have failed to score more than 20 points on six occasions this year. The last time Philly played New York, only 40 total points were scored in an overtime contest.

On average, the Eagles are scoring 23 points per game on 372 yards of offense while allowing 23 points per game on 343 yards.

Philly will be without Ertz, who’s the team’s leading receiver with 916 yards and six touchdowns. The next-leading receiver has just 542 yards on the season.

50* Powerhouse Play on Titans -6 -110

The Texans (10-5) have already claimed a postseason place. The Titans (8-7) are still in search of a Wild Card spot. These two teams will go head to head in Houston today.

Tennessee put themselves in the thick of the playoff race with four wins in a row, but then dropped a pair of contests over the last two weeks. However, the Titans will be up against a Houston team that’s likely to be resting key players. In that recent run of wins, Tennessee scored at least 31 points in every game.

On average, the Titans are scoring 25 points per game on 380 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 379 yards.

Ryan Tannehill has been impressive at quarterback for Tennessee. While completing 70.7% of his passes, Tannehill has thrown for 2,544 yards, 20 touchdowns, and six interceptions.

With a playoff spot wrapped up, the Texans are expected to rest quarterback Deshaun Watson. That obviously hinders a Houston team that’s won four of their last five. Even with Watson on the field, the Texans haven’t scored more than 24 points in any of their last three games.

On average, the Texans are scoring 24 points per game on 383 yards of offense while allowing 23 points per game on 397 yards.

Houston will be without the 3,852 yards and 26 touchdowns of Watson if they choose to sit their starting QB today.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Saints/Panthers under45½ -110

As the Saints (12-3) are aiming for a bye week in the postseason, the Panthers (5-10) want to end the season on a high note. The over/under is set at 45.5 points.

Coming into the final week of the regular season, New Orleans has won five of their last six. In half of those contests, the Saints held their opponent to 18 points or fewer. Throughout the course of the season, New Orleans hasn’t allowed more than 18 points on six occasions.

On average, the Saints are scoring 28 points per game on 385 yards of offense while allowing 22 points per game on 354 yards.

New Orleans needs another pass catcher to step up and help Michael Thomas. Right now, tight end Jared Cook is the second-leading receiver with 661 yards and eight touchdowns.

Offense has been a major issue for a Carolina team that hasn’t won any of their last seven contests. On the season, the Panthers have scored 21 points or fewer eight times. Most recently, Carolina could only manage six points as they were blown out by Indianapolis.

On average, the Panthers are scoring 22 points per game on 374 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 394 yards.

After a promising start, Carolina quarterback Kyle Allen has completed just 62.1% of his passes for 17 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.

Only a single win separates the Knicks (8-24) from the Wizards (9-21). Tonight, these two teams will go head to head in Washington D.C. The over/under is set at 230.5 points.

New York is coming off a Boxing Day win over Brooklyn in which they scored only 94 points and held the Nets to only 82 points. The Knicks have now scored 105 points or fewer in four of their last seven contests. New York has been held below 100 points 10 times this season.

On average, the Knicks are scoring 103.2 points while allowing 111.8 points per game.

Atlanta has lost nine games in a row, but six of those losses either came in overtime or by 10 points or fewer. In their most recent away game, the Hawks lost a 121-118 contest against the Cavaliers. Neither of Atlanta’s last two road games have been losses by more than 10 points.

On average, the Hawks are scoring 108.1 points while allowing 118.4 points per game.
