10* Pittsburgh -3

I like the Steelers to bounce back after a bad loss at Denver and now facing a Charger team that has beaten some weak teams. The Steelers should get the ground game going with James Connor and Big Ben should play well. Pitt wins by 7.

10* Carolina -3

Seattle must travel cross country for this 1pm start/ I think Cam New and McCaffrey do enough to win by 7.

10* Redskins +7.5

This is a rivalry game on a holiday. You know someone will step up for the underdog and stay within 7.

10* Phil Eagles -7

I think the Eagles play well off a bye and win by 10 to 14 in prime time against the Cowboys.

10* Seattle +10

I think we see a letdown after LA Rams lost and are no longer undefeated. Seattle lost by 2 at home earlier to the Rams. Russell Wilson should play well.

10* Pittsburgh +3

I like the Steelers on Sunday as they have played better recently. Big Ben is solid on the road. RB James Connor has been good at running and receiving. Look for a close game so take the points.

10* Washington -1

The Redskins should win a close one on Sunday.

Wash 21

NYG 17

10* NE -3

I think the Patriots find a way to slow down second year QB Patrick Homes and get revenge for their bad loss last year.

10* Seattle -2.5

I think Russell Wilson will make enough plays for the Seahawks to win.

Seattle wins by 7 in London.

10* Washington +6

I think Alex Smith can pass well enough and the Redskins running game can stay within 6 on Monday night.

10* Seattle +7.5

The LA Rams are tough but Seattle is a solid home underdog especially when getting a TD or better. The the points on Sunday.

10* Pitt -3

I think the Steelers win by 7 at home vs. their division rival on Sunday night.

Pittsburgh 27-20.

10* NE -6.5

There are -6.5 to -7.5 out there so look around. Miami is 3-0 while NE is 1-2 and needs to stay close in the division and not go down 3 games.

Tom Brady should make enough plays with Gronk and Josh Gordon to score plenty of points on Sunday.

Miami has played well at home in the heat and humidity of Miami but not fared well on the road. NE wins by 10 or more.

Thanks and good luck...

10* Seattle pk

I think Russell Wilson leads the way fo a home win and is motivated from the Sports Illustrated article on the Seahawks and how they were the dynasty that never was.

10* Seattle +4.5

10* Pittsburgh -4.5

KC won last week but has to travel again on the road and play a team they are 0-3 (SU and ATS). I expect Pitt to bounce back after a 21-21 tie in which they led 21-7 but had 6 turnovers. The Steelers win by 7 to 10 to cover.

10* GB -6.5

Take the Packers at home with Aaron Rodgers at QB.

10* Cleveland +

The Browns played the Steelers close last year. Pittsburgh lost at Chicago and only beat three road teams (Cincy, Cleveland and Indy) by 3 points. I think we see a 3 point game.

10* Eagles +5

I think we see a close game. New England won in OT last year. I think we see a close game on Super Bowl Sunday so take the points and let's hope the Eagle defense and Nick Foles can make some plays.

10* Eagles +3.5

I am taking the home underdog getting for than a field goal. The team is 3-1 SU with Nick Foles at QB anf the Eagles have a solid defense. Minnesota should have some kind of a letdown after their remarkable win over the Saints. I think this game is won by a field goal so take the +3.5.

10* Eagles +3

Philly is home off a first round bye while Atlanta played out in LA last week and must travel north to play outdoors. The Eagles beat them 24-15 last year. The Eagles have a solid defense and I think they can win outright but take the points.

10* Atlanta +6.5

LA was just 4-4 at home. Atlanta has playoff experience after losing badly in the Super Bowl. Matt Ryan has Julio Jones and Freeman to make plays. I think we see a close game so take the points!

10* Tennessee

Jax just wrapped up a playoff spot while Tennessee is aiming for a wild card and they are at home. This line had been moving upward from -2 earlier. Take Tennessee.

10* Atlanta -4

I think we see Matt Ryan play well and the Falcons to win by 7 to 10 points.

10* Seattle -1 (-120)

Seattle is tough at home even without many of their key defensive players. They are playing a division game vs. the Rams and I still have to go with coach Pete Carroll and QB Russell Wilson, who seems to do enough to win at home with his legs and arm.

Kudos to the Rams and Jared Goff as well as Tarboro, North Carolina's Todd Hurley at running back. I think it is close but Seattle wins and covers.

10* Washington +6

The Chargers have played well lately but I think 6 points is too much to cover. Washington won at the LA Rams early in the year and Kirk Cousins is a solid QB to help the Skins stay within 5.

10* Seattle +6

The Seahawks are rarely an underdog at home but they have one of the best crowds and solid defense even without Sherman and Kam Chancellor. Russell Wilson seems to make things happen and Philly has to travel cross country to play in Seattle.

This line is all over the place from +3.5 and more.

10* Houston +7

Take Houston +7 with Deshawn Watson running the show for the underdogs. Seattle should win but the Texans should feed off the energy of the Astros in the World Series. I think we see a close game on Sunday so take the points.

10* Washington +4.5 

I like the visitors staying within 4 on Monday night. I am concerned about injuries to players like Josh Norman but I think Jay Gruden and company have a plan to keep it close.

10* KC -3

I expect the Chiefs to bounce back after a home loss to their nemesis (Steelers). Oakland has struggled with injuries.

KC wins  by 7 as they were able to win at New England in their opener.

10* Denver -11.5

It is a big number but I think that NY has too many injuries to stay within 12 points at Denver. The Giants will need a great game from Eli Manning.

10* Pittsburgh +4.5

I like the Steelers to bounce back from a poor defeat and stay with 4 at KC. Big Ben has a really bad game in their loss to Jax and has enough experience and success vs. the Chiefs.

10* NE -5

The Patriots lost last week at home but still scored 30 points. I expect Tampa Bay's QB to make a mistake late in the game and lead to a NE score and the Patriots winning by 7 to 10 points on Thursday night.

10* Washington +7.5

I like the Skins to stay within a TD. There are some 7 and 7.5 out there so look for the best number. Washington should have some confidence after their win at home vs. the Raiders. KC has been impressive but the 7 point spread is huge in the NFL.

10* Denver -3

Both are off road losses in the east. I think Denver has a better defense and that will be the difference. Broncos win by 7.

10* NYG -3

The Giants played POORLY last week at Dallas. They can't expect to make the playoffs if they go 0-2. Eli Manning should be able to play better at home even if Beckham isn't able to play but the G-men should get the running game going.

Giants win by 7 to 10 points.

10* Chicago +7.5

This is +7.5 at -140 but +7 (-110) is available as well. TB has been off due to the hurricane. Chicago played well and had a dropped pass that cost them a possible win last week. I think Tampa Bay wins but the Bears stay close and cover on Sunday.

10* NYG +4.5

Most places have this at +4.5. Dallas' Ezekiel Elliott is scheduled to play on appeal but his suspension has to be on his mind. The Cowboys struggled against NY in the past. Eli Manning has solid receivers and an improved defense. I won't be shocked to see the Cowboys win but think it ends in a field goal. Take the points.

Thanks and good luck....

10* Houston -5

Houston has been a solid home team and as a favorite under coach O'Brien. Jax still has trouble at QB and faces one of the top defenses in the NFL. Houston will play hard for the fans who have had to deal with the hurricane Harvey in the past few weeks. 

Houston wins by 10.

10* NE -3

I like the experience of New England. They have the better defense and the team with the best defense vs. best offense has seen the defense go 4-1 in the last 5. Look at Seattle over Denver and Denver over Carolina last year.

I think NE wins by 7 to 10.

10* Pittsburgh +1.5

This should be a good game. KC went into Pittsburgh and was blown out early in the year. Andy Reid, coach of KC has been great off a bye but the Chiefs have won mostly by creating turnovers. They face one of the hottest teams in the NFL as QB Big Ben, RB La'Veon Bell and WR Antonio Brown have been playing well.

KC's QB Alex Smith is not flashy but seems to get the job done. I think the Steelers end up winning but take the +1.5.

Seattle at Atlanta

10* Seattle +4.5

These two played earlier and it was a 2 point win. Atlanta was off last week and can rest while Seattle had an easy win vs. Detroit. Seattle has played in two recent Super Bowls (a win and a loss) and has experience with coach Pete Carroll and QB Russell Wilson as well as a great defense.

Earl Thomas is out but I think there will be a lot of pressure on QB Matt Ryan and the Falcons. I think we see a close game so take the +4.5.

NY at Green Bay

10* Green Bay -4.5

Green Bay is on a roll. NY goes from playing at Washington to playing at Green Bay. The Packers are led by future Hall Of Fame QB Aaron Rodgers who has helped them bypass a two game lead by Detroit.

Jordy Nelson has been solid catching the ball and Ty Montgomery has been great on the ground. NY does have Eli Manning and the gltizy split end Odell Beckham Jr. and a decent defense. 

I think Green Bay wins by 7.

10* Colts -4

Indy is off a bad loss at Oakland and stands 7-8 with a chance to go 8-8 and be .500. I think QB Andrew Luck plays well and they win by 7.

10* Detroit +6.5

Dallas has wrapped up the division. Detroit has a solid QB in Matthew Stafford, who is from Texas and he will try to win in Dallas but all we need is for the Lions to stay within 6 points. Surely, Dallas will not want to risk injury as we saw what happened to Oakland's Derek Carr.

10* Pittsburgh -5.5

Baltimore has beaten three times in a row. Pittsburgh has a solid running game and passing attack under Big Ben. I think the home team can play well and win by 7 or more.

10* Carolina +7

Washington is a tough team but Carolina should show some pride and stay within 7. Cam Newton can run and pass and should be motivated after a down year in which they will miss the playoffs afer being favorites in the Super Bowl last year.

10* Washington -2

L like the Redskins on the road as Carson Wentz has dropped in effenciency after a fast 3-0 start. Washington played well last week but lost at AZ. I expect Cousins to lead the way.

Washington wins by 3 or more.

10* NYG -7

The Browns are winless while the NYG are trying to keep up with Dallas in the NFC East. NY is led by QB Eli Manning on offense and Jason Pierre Paul on defense. I think we see the Giants win by 10 to 14 points.

NYG  27-14.

10* Washington -3

I like the home team in this Sunday night matchup. QB Kirk Cousins has been solid and the Redskins defense is led by defensive Josh Norman. Aaron Rodgers is still a great player but seems to make mistakes.

Washington wins by 7.

10* Indy -2.5

I like the Colts -2.5 at home as they have done well in recent years vs. the AFC South members like Tennessee. Marcus Marriota has been solid recently but I expect to see Andrew Luck put it together and all we need is for the home team to win by a field goal.

10* Carolina -3

I like the Carolina defense to step up at home and for Cam Newton to play well and for the Panthers to win by 7 to 10 points vs. a solid KC team.

10* Seattle -7

Play Seattle off a tie at 6-6 vs. Arizona as well as a loss at New Orleans. Buffalo just lost at Miami and must travel cross country to Seattle, where the Seahawks can be tough. I think the home team wins by 10 to 12.

10* Jets +4

The Jets have some injuries but usually play the Dolphins well in Miami. I think the Jets can win but take the points on Sunday.

10* Dallas -5

Dallas off a bye. Philly with a young QB. Dallas wins by 7+.

10* NE -5.5

I like New England with Tom Brady to bounce back after getting shut out by the Bills in the first meeting, a game that Brady missed.

10* Denver -7.5

The home team is 7.5 at some places but -9 at a few books. I look for Denver to play well after a loss in their last game and facing Houston and former QB Brock Osweiler. Denver wins by 10 or more with their solid defense.

10* Minnesota -2.5

Sam Bradford returns to Philly to face the Eagles. Minnesota is undefeated and off a bye. Philly has committed 237 yards of penalties in the past two weeks and just lost at Washington. Rookie Carson Wentz started hot but has made some mistakes and hurt by offensive line injuries.

I think Minnesota wins by 7 to 10 points.

10* Kansas City -1

This line did move from KC +1 to -1. The Chiefs look to bounce back after a bad road loss at Pittsburgh. KC had a bye last week and should get going with the short passes of Alex Smith and the running of Jamaal Charles. Andy Reid has shown to be a solid coach and Oakland has one of the worst defenses in the NFL and has struggled at home in recent years.

10* San Diego +3.5

SD is 1-3 but should be 2-2 or even 3-1 as Philip Rivers has played well except at the end. Oakland is 3-1 but has struggled at home in recent years and has had to travel east to play. QB Carr and WR Amari Cooper are solid players. The Raider defense has allowed their share of points.

10* Minnesota -4

The Vikings have a solid defense, are at home and are well coached under Mike Zimmer. NY is a decent team with a good QB in Eli Manning but I think Minnesota wins by 7 to 10 points.

10* Carolina -3

I like Carolina to bounce back after a poor showing vs. Minnesota. Atlanta is off a win at New Orleans but must play the Panthers on a short week. Carolina only lost one regular season game last year and that was to the Falcons. The home team is #30 in defense. I think Carolina wins by 7 to 10.

10* Tampa Bay-4.5

TB plays their first home game after a bad loss at Arizona in which Jameis Winston played poorly. LA is off a home win vs. Seattle but the Rams have not scored a TD and must travel cross country and play at 1pm, which is 10am west coast time. I like Tampa Bay to win by 7 or more.

10* NE -6.5

Miami just went to Seattle and lost a close on and now must fly up to New England to face the Patriots who are without Tom Brady but still have coach Bill Belichick. I think NE wins by 7 or more to get a jump in the division.

San Diego at Kansas City

1pm 

10* San Diego (#463) +6.5

KC got hot last year but was facing teams with losing records or teams with injuries. QB Alex Smith is just average. San Diego is 18-8-2 ats as a road underdog and coach McCoy is 10-1 ats as a road dog of more than 4 points. QB Philip Rivers is 10-2-1 ats as a road dog in the division. I think San Diego can win but take the points, which is generous at +6.5.

Carolina at Denver8:30pm eastern Thursday10* (#451) Carolina -3
Denver won the Super Bowl and will recognize that on Thursday which should motivate the visitors. Carolina still has quarterback Cam Newton, who can run and pass as well as anyone in the NFL. It is hard to win in Denver and they have a nice defense but I think Carolina wins and covers.

10* Carolina -5.5

I have decided on Carolina due to QB Cam Newton. He can run and passand make plays. Denver has a great defense and led by D-linemen Von Miller and Demarcus Ware and solid CB's but Cam can run as well as Russell Wilson and we saw the Seahawks beat the Broncos 34-8 two years ago. Manning played well in the last few games but I think we see Carolina win by 10 points.

10* Carolina -3

Carson Palmer made some nice plays last week to beat GB in  OT but they must now travel east to face the Panthers, who can run and pass and play solid defense. Cam Newton should be up to the task of facing the Cardinals and going to the Super Bowl.

10* Pittsburgh -2.5

The Steelers seem to play well at Cincy as they are 9-3 in their last 12 in the Queen City. Big Ben to Antonio Brown has been a solid pairing this year and it looks like Andy Dalton will not start at QB. All we need is for Pitt to win by a field goal.

Pitt 24

Cincy 20

10 Washington -3

I like the visitors as Kirk Cousins has been hot as he has completed 72% of passes in the last 4 games. DEshaun Jackson hopes to beat his old team.

10* Green Bay still has to play Arizona and Minnesota but now they travel to California to face the Oakland Raiders, who are improved but have been up and down. Both Aaron Rodgers and his wide receiver (Rodgers) played college football for the Cal Bears in this area so they should be pumped about it.

The Packers should be motivated after beating the Lions on a Hail Mary. Eddie Lacy has run the ball well lately. Oakland has QB Derek Carr and Amari Cooper but their defense is still #25 in the NFL and GB should take advantage and win and cover.

10 NYG -2.5

I like the Giants to win by 7 behind Eli Manning.

10* Carolina 

The Panthers are led by QB Cam Newton who has played well and by a solid defense. Romo is back for Dallas but sometimes they play better on the road that at Jerry World.

10* Indy +5.5

Hasselback has proven that he is a decent QB as he will replace Andrew Luck. Atlanta has underachieved with QB Matt Ryan struggling at times. I like the Colts to stay within 5 points on Sunday.

10* Cincy -10.5

I like the Bengals at home as they are undefeated and getting great play from QB Andy Dalton and RD Gio Bernard. Cincy wins by 14. 

10* Minnesota -2.5

The Vikings are a solid team that can run, pass and play good defense. They are 14-3 ATS in their last 17, 7-2 ATS as a home favorite and 11-3 ATS against a non-division foe. The St. Louis Rams are a good team at home but are just 6-12 ATS on the road. RB Todd Hurley has been good for the Rams but the Vikings are led by QB Teddy Bridgewater and RB Adrian Peterson.

Look for the Vikings to win and cover.

10* Tampa Bay +7.5

At -115 we will take the Bucs getting more than a touchdown in a division game. Atlanta was off to a hot start but has struggled some lately. They beat Tennessee last week 10-7 as favorites of -4 but went up to -6.  Matt Ryan has nice skills but seems to fumble or toss a pick at the most inopportune times.

TB isled by young QB Jameis Winston, who won a title and Heisman Trophy at FSU. The Bucs have  a solid defense and look to bounce back after a 31-30 loss at Washington in which they led 24-0.

Atlanta may win but I like Tampa Bay +7.5.

10* Ravens +9

The Cardinals are a good team led by Carson Plamer and have won earlier games by wide margins but the Ravens won the Super Bowl a few years ago under John Harbaugh and QB Joe Flacco (even though Suggs is out and Ed Reed and Ray Lewis are retired).

I think Baltimore stays within 7.
