Selection

Tricky one this one though I do lean towards the Vikings to get the win but regardless of who emerges the victor I do not see this being a high scoring game and am happy to go under 46 points.

The Vikings have invested heavily in Kirk Cousins and will be hoping for a winning start under their new quarterback but the 49ers finished last season with five straight wins and will enter this campaign in a confident frame of mind, it may not be enough to get the win but it will make them competitive.

The Vikings defence is solid and will not give up too many points and it really comes down to will the 49ers disrupt Cousins and the Vikings to minimise their effectiveness and I think they will.

Probably a Viking win but in a low scoring game.

Selection

The Ravens suffered heartbreak last season missing out on the playoffs which saw the Bills progress at their expense and while it was not the Bills directly that cost them their playoff berth it was the Bills that benefitted and the Ravens will be looking to give them a bloody nose today.

But the Bills will not just roll over, yes they are quite big underdogs and will probably end up losing but I do not see it being a procession and believe they will stay close on the Raven's heels for most of the game. 

Whether the Ravens will win by 7 or more points I am not sure but I do see both teams breaking 20 points and that means the over 39 points total is the value bet here.

The game may not go much over 39 points but for me, the totals are too low and I intend to take advantage.

Selection

When I saw the totals on this matchup I was a little surprised, I just do not see this game going over 45 points and will certainly be going under.

There were only 26 points in the matchup last season and while there have been significant changes to the respective teams there are still players very prone to mistakes on both sides and I fully expect there to be a good number of errors from both sides, especially considering it is the first game of the regular season and some early season nerves should be expected.

All things considered, I am confident this will be a low scoring game.

Selection

That the Patriots should win is a fairly easy call but for me, it was far easier to call this game over 48 points than to pick whether the Patriots would cover the spread or not.

I expect New England to be very aggressive from the start but I also expect the same from the Titans, they may well end up losing comprehensively but I can see them getting close to 20 points at least and if that happens and the game goes as expected then we will see a game in excess of 50 points.

My initial analysis had this as over 53 points and so I am happy to take over 48 points.

I am going with the Unders on this one.

For me the Totals has been set too high, I know both sides are capable of racking up the points but I just cannot see it going over 48.5 points, the Panthers are unreliable and the Saints do not fill me with confidence either.

I expect the Lions to win but am not convinced they will cover the spread and a combined score today between these two should be enough to clear 44 points.

My thinking is simple, I expect the Lions to get close to 25 - 30 on their own and the Packers should have enough about them to contribute enough points to the total.

If the Seahawks are on their game then this will end in excess of 47 points, I am confident that the Cowboys will play their part, but Seattle does concern me a little, if they are mentally sound then they will win the game and get close to 30 points, if they not mentally at the game, which happens, then they could get less than 15 points.

The Seahawks should be focussed and so over 47 points is the pick

This game is all about the Giants for me, they can easily rack up the points but they can also be a great let down and barely get any points on the board.

I have no doubt that the Cardinals will break 20 points, it all depends on how many the Giants get and I am fairly confident they will do enough to stay in the game and help see the total points break 40.

I expect a tight game and I am not convinced that the Viking's are the clear favourites for this game.

Based on what I have seen this season and the circumstances revolving around both teams I am seeing a low scoring game and I find I difficult to see them going above 41 points.

Selection

Over 48.5 looks a really good bet for this game.

Apart from the low scoring affair against the Vikings, The Falcons tend to get decent points on the board with 4 of their last games scoring at least 20 and 3 of those 5 games at least 27.

The last 4 Bucs games have seen them score 20 or more and so we have two teams that can put points on the board.

Now, I believe Atlanta will win, I am not sure if they will cover the spread though simply because I do see the Bucs getting close to 25 points, possibly more.

My analysis has this game going over 50 points and with my belief that Atlanta will win and the Bucs will get close to 25 then over 48.5 has to be the pick.

Two teams that have not quite lived up to their billing this season and yet both still have a chance of making the playoffs, but they have to win this game if they are to continue having a chance.

This game has all the hallmark of being a high scoring game, two teams more than capable of getting a lot of points if they in the mood and two teams that will be going for it tonight.

Over 45 all day long for me.

Selection

I was slightly taken back when I saw the total on this game, I was preparing to go over 43 points and so getting over 39 points is a gift.

I know the Bills are not exactly putting a whole lot of points on the board recently but I feel that are capable of getting close to 20 against the Dolphins today and I definitely see the Dolphins getting at least 20 and possibly a lot more.

The Bills can put points on the board, they have shown that earlier in the season and I believe that this is the game that we see them improve in the scoring stakes.

Combined I see these two putting up well in excess of 40 points.

Selection

I am confident this game will surpass 50 points.

New England does not get it easy travelling to face the Dolphins, they have lost 3 of their last 4 visits to Miami and are facing a team that will be desperate for the win to maintain their own hopes of making the playoffs.

The last 3 games between these 2 have gone 49 points or higher and I see that happening again tonight.

I am confident that Miami will get to 20 points or more and that New England will get to 30 or more, I am not so confident that New England will beat the spread and so doing the totals is the most sensible pick.

I am looking forward to this one, I see points and a lot of them, I know the stats say this will be below 50 but I am convinced this game will pass the 50 point mark.

Baltimore can be explosive and when in the mood they can score for fun, they have won 4 of their last 5 and on two of those occasions have hit 40 points and in all those 5 games have gone over 20 or more, I see them doing just that today.

Pittsburg are fighters, they do not give up, they have tremendous character and they will not allow Baltimore to get too far ahead, they will match them throughout the game at the very worst, if they do go ahead then they will fight like dogs to keep Baltimore at bay.

I see a tight game with both sides clearing 20 points and combined clearing 50 points.

Selection

I am going with under 48.5 on this one simply because I trust neither side.

On their day both sides can score at will but they rarely have those sorts of days anymore, both sides are error-prone, they are just unreliable in offense.

Kansas really are in a mess now, they are so unorganized and lacking in discipline that it is frightening and Oakland blow hot and cold, yes they can be exciting but more often than not these days they just stutter.

If they wanted to these two sides could easily get 30 points apiece but for me, that would be an exception and it is far more likely neither side will get to 30 points and most likely struggle to get beyond 20.

Stake - 2pts

I cannot see the Raiders not winning this but I was unable to have confidence in them beating the spread simply because I do see the Giants getting some points on the board.

I can see the Raiders getting 25 or more points, especially if they are in the mood, however, too often their defence has been found wanting, in 4 of their last 5 games they have allowed in excess of 20 points and while those opponents, for the most part, have been better than the Giants, it is still a pattern.

The Giants can of course score low, they do so regularly, however, they do score points just as regularly, as an example on 5 of their last 10 matches they have scored at least 20 points.

Point being is that Oakland should win but they can also allow a good few points and combined I do see there being more than 41.5 points.

Take over 41.5 points

This has all the makings of a great game and I see there being a ton of points, in excess of 50.

The Vikings are on a brilliant winning run at the moment, they are scoring freely and 3 of their last 4 games have them scoring 30 or more points, I can see them getting very close to that total again today.

The Falcons themselves are on a 3 game winning run with the last two seeing them score 34 points, they may not get to that total again today but they will not be far off.

Two explosive teams today and that means points, I cannot say who will win with confidence, I have a feeling for the Falcons but not with any overwhelming confidence, but I am very confident that there will be at least 50 points.

Take over 47 points.

Two poor teams that are more than capable of allowing a load of points, which also means they have the potential to score a load of points and given their records that may seem a little strange.

The thing is this, I can see both sides feeling confident of picking up the win today and that will see positive play from both of them.

I have a sneaky feeling that the 49ers will get their second win of the season, but I would not pick them, I simply cannot justify it, but the same applies to the Bears.

The question for me was simply will this game be over or under and the more I looked at this game the more I am convinced that we will see points on the board because of the attitudes that both teams will employ, an attitude of we can actually win this game.

Take over 41 points.

I am a little disappointed with the Total available here, I managed to get over 37.5 and at decent odds but even so, I am still very confident that we will see in excess of 38.5 points.

My analysis has this game going over 40 points anyway, in fact, I would have gone over 43.5 points that is how confident that I am that we will see a good few points in this game.

I expect the Ravens to win but I also expect a decent performance from the Texans, I do not see the Ravens running away with this as they have in a couple of their previous games this season, I certainly do not expect them to shut out the Texans.

I also feel this game will be closer than a lot of people think and see both sides getting over 20 points.

All things considered, I am happy to take over 38.5 points.

Take Over 38.5

I am going with the over 43.5 total in this one tonight.

I expect the Steelers will win this one, I also think that Green Bay will do enough to get enough points to see this game go over 43.5 points.

Green Bay has been unfortunate this season but they have held up well under the circumstances and I do see them giving a good account of themselves tonight.

The Steelers are strong at the moment and should get the win, especially against a weakened Packers but I do see some vulnerabilities and with some luck for Green Bay then I can see the potential for a closer game than a lot of people think.

I can see both teams getting over 20 points with Pittsburg probably closer to 30 and Green Bay closer to 20.

However this game pans out I do see it going over 43.5 points.

Take Over 43.5 points

I have this game going over 50 points today and with the totals set at just 44, I am all over this game.

The Eagles will win this one unless there is a major shock, they are 9-1 and winning by some big margins and I fully expect them to do so again today, the question for me was, will Chicago contribute enough to take this game over 44 points?

Well, I see the Eagles scoring in excess of 30 points and I anticipate that Chicago needs to score no more than 10-15 points, possibly not even that and I definitely can see them doing that.

This will be a one-sided affair in my opinion and I do see the Eagles getting the vast majority of the points and do believe that Chicago will play their part in taking this game beyond the 50 point mark.

Take over 44

I am going with Over 44.5

The giants are hardly prolific point scorers, however, considering their opponents today I do see them scoring more points than they usually do but not enough to win.

My analysis of this game has the Giants scoring at least 20 points, they have done so in six of the last eight meetings between these sides going back to 2013 and I am fairly confident they will reach that scoreline again today.

But 20 points will not be enough for New York, I cannot see them winning but I do fancy them to stay within ten points of their opponents, it will be tight on the overs but I fully expect the Redskins to score between 6 and 10 points more than their opponents, they have racked up 30 points or more in their last two games and I see them getting close to that total today.

I was tempted to back the Redskins on the spreads but it was just too high and with New York seemingly able to get to 20 points on a regular basis against the Redskins it is a risk I was not prepared to take.

Bottom line is that I have far more confidence that we will see at least 46 points than I have in the Redskins to win by 7 or more.

Take over 44.5

When I first looked at this game I was set to back Atlanta but the more I analysed the game it soon became apparent that either team could win and that it was too close to call.

But what did stand out was the high likelihood that this game would be a high scoring one and once I had finished my analysis I became convinced that we will see a game with over 50 points in it.

For starters, the seven times that these two have faced each over the last ten years only once did the game go below 50 points so historically there are a lot of points on the scoreboard when these two play each other.

The stats this season are mixed and with particular injuries to both sides it is easy to make a case for both a low scoring and high scoring game but it is the context of the game that has me feeling very confident we will see a lot of points.

Both teams are still in the hunt to make the playoffs but a run of losses and they could easily fall out of the picture, especially Atlanta, a win is an absolute necessity for both teams and that will drive their mentality today.

Seattle obviously has less pressure but they are behind the Rams in the NFC West and they will be desperate to go level at the top of the division.

The last thing that Atlanta will want is to be two games behind Carolina in the NFC South, they know that if they do not win today that their playoff ambitions start to become a whole lot bleaker.

Bottom line is this, a loss for either team, while not critical, will be damaging, a win and their respective hopes are given a huge boost.

I see an offensive game with both teams going end to end in search of points by any means necessary, this will make for an entertaining game and a high scoring one.

Take over 45.5 points.

I suspect this game will be closer than most people think, however, my confidence is not strong enough to pick an outright winner here or take a chance on the spreads, I am far more confident in the totals.

The Steelers will probably win this one but I am certain that the Titans will clear 20 points and therefore logic dictates that this game will go over 44 points.

The Titans have been averaging roughly 24 points a game recently and are on a four-game winning streak, they will not be rolled over.

The Steelers are also on a good winning streak and are averaging a little less than the Titans, but as I have already stated it is Pittsburg that will most likely win this game.

Considering the form of both sides then over 44 points looks the best pick.

This is all set up to be a low scoring game if you look at the statistics, but that is to ignore the circumstances surrounding this game and what it means to both teams.

Miami last time out scored 24 points and if you ignore the 40-0 loss to Baltimore previous to that they had put together a run of three straight wins averaging over 22 points a game. Point is this, if Miami gets the basics right they are more than capable of getting over 20 points.

Carolina has been hit and miss recently, yes they are on a  two-game winning streak but they are just as capable of putting together a losing streak as well, however, I believe they will probably win this game today and if that is the case and Miami rack up at least 20 points then we are looking at a game in excess of 40 points.

I can understand why the totals have been set at 38.5 points but for me that is wrong and this game will go over 40 points.

Take over 38.5

Due to time constraint's, there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I struggle to see this game going over 40 points, neither teams offence fills me with confidence and while their respective defences are not great shakes I am of the opinion that the defences will come out on top.

Take Under 41.5

I can see this game going close to 50 points in total and so the over 41 points line is very welcome.

Philadelphia should win this one with ease and I can see them racking up the points, however, I do see the Broncos getting on the score sheet with a few scoring plays and a lot depends on how they do in the red zone today.

I could have gone with the Eagles on the spreads, but it would also not be a big surprise to me if the Broncos broke the 20 point mark and the Eagles falling below 30 points, basically, I am more confident in this match being over 41 points than I am the Eagles winning by more than seven.

I am very confident that this match will end well in excess of 41.5 points.

Both these sides are more than capable of putting up a big score, they have shown that time and again already this season, it all depends on what mood they enter the field of play.

Both can easily put in subdued performances, they have shown that, but either team can also turn it on, a look at recent scores by both sides confirms this.

I see both sides playing aggressive positive football and the points will follow in a tight high scoring game.

I had these two down as potential Superbowl winners before the season started but Oakland have seriously gone off the rails and Kansas finally lost last weekend.

That said, I still feel that Kansas retain a good chance and the season is far from over for the Raiders but they need to start winning and winning now.

Kansas will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Pittsburg while the Raiders know they have to win this game or find themselves with a huge mountain to climb.

Truth is that I can see this game going either way, Kansas are deserved favourites but the Raiders on their own turf are more than capable of getting the win.

While I am unable to definitively choose a winner I am very confident that due to the circumstances facing both sides that there is a high chance of more than 50 points in this game and so the must-have pick for me is over 46.5 points.

I am going with over 45.5 points in this match up between the Panthers and the Eagles.

My own analysis had this one at roughly 50 points with the Panthers winning and so being able to get over 45.5 is more than acceptable.

The Panthers quite often go on a scoring spree and against the Eagles I do see them racking up at least 30 points.

By the same token I do see the Eagles getting to at least 20 points, possibly a bit more and so logic dictates that overs is the way to go.

Take overs @ 45.5

I do well when I go unders involving games with the Giants and I expect that winning run of mine to continue today.

I simply cannot see this being a high scoring game and my initial analysis had this below 40 points and nothing has happened to make me change that viewpoint.

So, when I saw this marked up at under 45 points I just had to jump all over it.

This is one of my top three picks today and my confidence is very high that this will be a low scoring game.

Go under 45 points.

The 49ers surprised me when they lost to the LA Rams, I expected them to be thrashed and the fact that they got within two points was a surprise for sure.

I still expect them to lose but they showed a string character last time out and if they can bring this into this game then I expect them to do themselves justice.

The Cardinals should win, lets not kid ourselves, but I do see them conceding points to the 49ers and I am of the belief that they will have to score close to 30 points to win.

Therefore going over 44.5 points is the logical pick.

I do not see this being a high scoring game at all.

I do expect that the Jaguars will win but the margin of victory I expect to be small and for both defences to have good games today.

Also, I lack confidence is the respective offenses to dominate and for points to generally be hard to come by.

Take under 38.5

This looks like it will be a high scoring game and I am happy to go over 51.5 points.

This game will be played in London and the chances are that the Dolphins will have the vast majority of the crowd behind them, though I am not sure it will make that much difference to the outcome.

The Saints will probably win but playing on neutral territory does throw a spanner in the works slightly, certainly enough to put me off backing the Saints to win, with or without the spread.

I expect there to be a feast of touchdowns and see the points mounting up.

Take over 51.5 points with confidence.

Last season I finished +529 and intend on beating that this season, I also had the highest average NFL  odds of any handicapper on this network.

I am of the opinion that the Raiders will win this but probably not by as much as the spread indicates, however, my confidence in the Jets is not that strong that I would back them, however, I do feel that they are capable of racking up 20 points in this matchup and so taking over 43.5 on the total points is simply a must do bet.

Last season I finished +529 and intend on beating that this season, I also had the highest average NFL  odds of any handicapper on this network

I analysed this game to be over 48 points and am happy to take the over 44 on offer and at decent odds.

Last season I finished +529 and intend on beating that this season, I also had the highest average NFL  odds of any handicapper on this network.

The points spread was unappealing to me but the over 43.5 point was the total opposite. I have this game going over 46 points and am happy to take over 43.5 points and at good odds.

Last season I finished +529 and intend on beating that this season, I also had the highest average NFL  odds of any handicapper on this network.

I have this game at 50 points minimum and suspected that it would be set lower and have therefore been looking forward to betting on this particular matchup, this is one of my strongest picks today.

Last season I had the highest average odds on this network and ended +529 with a 51.4% winning record.

I simply cannot see this being a high scoring game and would have gone under 45 points and so getting under 47.5 points is simply a gift.

Under 47.5 points.

Last season I had the highest average odds on this network and ended +529 with a 51.4% winning record.

The game looks set up for a ton of points and my pre game analysis had this one going over 55 points so getting over 50 points makes this a must back pick.

Over 50 points

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I do not see this game going beyond 50 points, I know what the Falcons offense is capable of but history is not good to them and the Seahawks defence is more than capable of keeping the points down.

This game could hang on how the respective teams cope with their quarterback situations and it is difficult to go one way or the other because of that.

The Raiders are having to use a rookie while the Texans are having to revert to using a QB they benched just three weeks ago.

This game could basically swing either way, the Texans are the slight favourites and that is reflected in the odds, but they make no appeal to me whatsoever and neither do the Raiders for that matter.

What is appealing is the overs, I believe it has been set too low and while I accept that the QB conundrum makes for some uncertainty I do believe that both sides are more than capable of getting at least 20 points.

Bottom line is I have this game at about 40 points, I would have had it closer to 50 points with more settled QB's, but regardless, 37 is too low and I am of the opinion that will be easily breached.

Happy New Year

The overs on this one looks far too low to me, I see this one being very close to 50 points, if not more and very happy to accept the low totals on offer.

I see the Seahawks running out convincing winners but I also expect that the 49ers will put up a decent show against Seattle, this should be an easy win for Seattle, but I do expect San Francisco to put a credible amount of points on the board.

I am surprised at the low totals on this one and do expect this one to be a good 10 points higher than what is on offer and so you can imagine how pleased I am to take the overs.

Happy New Year

I fully expect the Steelers to win this one but the value for me is on the overs, I do see this game going over 45 points and so am happy to take over 41.5 points.

Happy New Year

I have this one at 42 points minimum and therefore am happy to accept the over 38 points on offer.

Due to time constraints over the Christmas period there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I see a lot of points in this one, my analysis has this game going over 50 points and so getting over 45 points makes this a must have selection.

Take over 45 points.

Merry Christmas, I hope you all have had a wonderful day.

There will be little analysis today because of the festivities, but be assured that this pick has been analysed and researched and is posted with the highest confidence.

I am of the opinion that this totals on this has been set too low and will go for over 37 points.

I am going with the unders on this.

For starters all the Giants games on the road have finished unders and five of the Eagles home games have also been unders.

Another factor is that despite being on a five game losing streak the Eagles are quite tight at home, with an average of just 15 points per game being conceded.

The Giants are hardly prolific point scorers either, they have only broken twenty points once when on the road and that was against the worst team in the NFL, Cleveland Browns.

Basically we have a home side, who are on a losing run, that does not concede that many and the away side, who are on fire, not scoring highly away.

Everything here points to a low scoring game..

I am going for the overs in this one.

Both these teams are more than capable of putting points on the board and I fully expect this game to be closer to 50 points than 40 points and am therefore happy to take over 41.5 points.

In 7 their last 8 games Tennesee have scored at least 26 points, win or lose and I see no reason why they will not get close to that figure today.

Obviously they are playing a class team in Kansas, who themselves are on a three game winning streak and while they have not been the highest of scorers, they are at home and will want to cement their position as top dogs in the AFC West.

Both teams have something to play for and while there may be some conservative play I do expect both teams to become more aggressive as the game goes on.

Take over 41.5 points.

I like the overs on this one and expect this game to be over 50 points.

Both teams are in fairly decent form, the Steelers are on a four game winning run and the Bengals are on a two game winning run, the Steelers are in a much better position than the Bengals, but that does not mean that they are the only side with something to play for, the Bengals still have an outside chance of the play offs and will be desperate to get the win.

Both teams will be going all out t win this one and I fully expect some aggressive offense and that means points on the board.

Considering the circumstances for both teams I am happy to take over 45.5 points on this one.

I have learned my lesson where the Seahawks are concerned and will be going overs in this one.

The last two times I have done a pick on a Seahawks game I went unders and on both occasions I called it wrong, first the Seahawks put the Panthers to the sword and next time out the Packers did the same to the Seahawks.

Now, if Seattle was playing almost any other side I would have gone unders, but they are playing the Rams and straight off the bat I can see the Seahawks scoring at least 30 points, the question for me was how many points can I see the Rams scoring.

Well, I can see the Rams scraping up double figures, only just though, I see them scoring between 10 and 14 points and the Seahawks at least 30 and thus the logic is simple, it has to be overs.

Take over 39 points.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

This one has all the ingredients for a high scoring game and I have this one down as going over 50 points and as soon as I saw that the totals had been set at just 46 points I knew that this was one I simply had to be on.

Take over 46 points

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I am going with over 44.5 points in this one.

Both these sides can easily rack the points up if they are in the mood and at the same time, both their defences can be vulnerable and all the ingredients are there in this game for it being a high scoring affair, I actually have this one to go over 50 points, so over 44.5 is a gift to me.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I cannot see the Seahawks putting a ton of points on the board like they did against Carolina, the circumstances were unique in that game with the Cam Newton situation, that is not the case tonight and I see this being a low scoring affair wwith the defences being superior over the offenses.

Take the unders

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

This one has the potential to go over 60 points, both these teams can score at will and both can concede points at will, all the ingredients for a high scoring affair.

The totals has been set high, but the truth is that I can see it being beaten easily and I am confident that this one will be closer to 60 points than 50.

Take over 51 points.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I am of the opinion that the totals on this one are too low, I see this one going over 40 points and so with the totals being set at 38.5 points I am happy to take advantage of the sports books generosity.

I am going with over 45.5 points in this one.

We all know what Oakland are capable of when they get going, their forward line can be almost impossible to stop and I see no reason why we will not see another stellar display from Carr and co today.

The Chiefs are a tougher nut to rack than some of the teams Raiders have faced recently and are also more than capable of putting points on the board and I fully expect them to give the Raiders defence a rough ride this evening.

I analysed this game to go over 50 points and that is what I fully expect to happen later tonight and therefore over 45.5 points is  a gift.

I see this being a low scoring game.

Carolina are capable of putting runs of the board, however they are up against a top defence and I cannot see them penetrating the Seahawks too often in this game.

Seattle will get a lot of the ball today, but I am not that confident in their offence, not in the same way I am with their defence and I cannot see them taking the Panthers to the cleaners.

I expect the Seahawks defence to come out on top, but do not expect to see them walk all over Carolina offensively either and therefor this game has all the ingredients for a low scoring affair.

Take under 44 points.

If there are two teams that can rack the points up it is these two and even though the totals is quite high, I am confident that it will go well beyond 50 points.

Kansas have won their last four road games averaging 26.5 points in those games, I see no reason why they should do any worse points wise today.

Atlanta have averaged over 34 points at home this season, why that should suddenly drop off is beyond me, I simply do not see it happening.

There is no real evidence that I can see that tells me that these two will all of a sudden stop scoring, my analysis tells me that both will maintain their current scoring form based on the respective home and road records and therefore over 50 points in the pick.

I am going with overs in this game.

I know that both sides have struggled offensively recently and all the stats point to this game being a low scoring affair, but it is precisely because they are playing each other that I see them scoring points.

If these two were playing almost any other team I would not be as confident that they will score highly today, but both sides are in poor form, both have very vulnerable defences and this is a golden opportunity for both offences to get back to scoring points against an opposition that is basically all over the place.

The circumstances for me are just right for at least one, if not both teams to get back scoring and that is what I see happening this evening.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

This game could be a classic, both sides have their issues and I can understand why the totals is low, but I expect at least one of the respective offenses to get their act together today, if not both and see at least 40 points in this match up.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I am expecting a  ton of points in this one, the Raiders know how to score, they are on a brilliant run and against a vulnerable Panthers defence I expect them to get at least 30 points.

At the same time I expect Carolina to put up points, they are nowhere near the team of last season but they are triers and I fully expect them to be aggressive from the start in an attempt to quieten the passionate Raider fans.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I analysed this game to have at least 50 points and so having over 44 available is simply a gift, both sides are more than capable of racking up points and also giving up points, I am expecting a points feast.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I see this one being a high scoring affair, both have the offensive capabilities to rack up the points and at the same time, both are very vulnerable in defence.

Over 49.5 for me

I am going with over 45.5 points in this Monday Night Football games.

Oakland have done much better than most people thought this season and they are now genuine play off contenders, they know how to put points on the board but remain vulnerable in defence.

I also expect the Texans to be aggressive this evening and like the Raiders, they remain vulnerable in defence, all the ingredients for a high scoring game.

I analysed this game to be over 50 points and therefore and happy to accept the generous total on offer.

Take over 45.5 points.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I see a lot of points in this one and had this down as a 50 point plus game and so getting the totals at over 44.5 is a must have for me.

Take over 44.5 points.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I am taking over 47.5 points on this game, I actually think it will be close to a 60 point game, if not more, both teams have suspect defences and can rack up the score, all the ingredients for a high scoring game.

Take over 47.5 points.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I am going with over 44 points in this one, I can see both teams racking up the points and that both defences will have their hands full, I did analyse this for over 47 points and so am happy with the over 44 points on offer.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I see this one going well over 42.5 points, I actually think it will be very close to being a 50 point game, both defences are vulnerable and both offenses can put up points, overs for me.

I am going with over 44 points in this one.

The Browns are having an awful season, but on occasions they have gone close to picking up their first win, when they are in the mood they can pick up points and I am of the opinion that is what will happen today.

Five times this season they have gone to 20 points or more, four times they have not, so you could argue it is almost 50/50 that they will get to 20 points, but each time they have failed the opposition has got 29 points or more.

My point is that if the Browns have a low scoring game then their opponents will have a high scoring game.

Baltimore are a side that does not tend to feature in too many high scoring games, however I do expect them to pick up the points against a poor Browns outfit, the Ravens are more than capable of getting to 30 points or more and it would not surprise me if they did tonight.

Bottom line for me is that I do see the Browns getting very close to 20 points and the Ravens getting close to 30 points, I am not saying that the Ravens will beat the spread, I am not sure of that, they may well do so, but I am confident they can get between 27 and 30 plus points and I am confident that the Browns will get between 18 and 23 points.

Therefore the logical pick for me is over 44 points.

I have looked at this game in a very simple way and come to the conclusion that over 43 points is the way to go.

Basically I see the Seahawks winning, I was unable to decide whether they would beat the spread or not, simply because the spread set between 6 and 6.5 I find the be very accurate, I basically see the winning margin between 5 and 7 points.

Now, I also see Buffalo scoring at least 20 points, they have done that in their last four games and in six from eight games this season and I see no real evidence that they will not manage to get to 20 points tonight.

If I see Buffalo getting 20 points and the Seahawks winning the game between 5 and 7 points then logic dictates that there must be at least 45 points in the game.

I actually expect a couple of more points, but regardless, it is still above 43 points.

For me over 43 points is the value pick here.

I am travelling this weekend and therefore am publishing both Saturday and Sunday picks early, due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

Both these sides are more than capable of racking up the points, especially the Raiders and I am very confident that this game will be over 50 points, so getting over 43.5 points is a gift.

I am travelling this weekend and therefore am publishing both Saturday and Sunday picks early, due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I am going with over 43.5 points in this game, I feel both can put points on the board and I am not fully convinced by either sides defence, especially the Jets.

Overs for me.

I like the look of overs in this one.

I fully expect the Vikings to put up a big score, they will be aggressive this evening following their first loss of the season and will want to bounce back in style.

Chicago are desperate to get their season going, they are in poor shape and will want to put in a good performance in front of their home fans.

Chicago have struggled all season to rack up points, that is why the totals has been set low, but the Vikings have managed to go over 20 points in four of their six games and I expect them to do just that this evening, in fact I expect them to get close to 30 points, which means that Chicago just need to get between 10 and 15 points, which they have done every game this season.

All things considered this game is over 40 points for me,

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

The spread is set very high but if there are two teams that are capable of flying past a combined points total of 52.5 it is these two and that is exactly what I expect from them this evening.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I had this one going over 55 points and expected the totals to be higher, so getting over 47 points is very welcome.

Both these teams are just as capable of racking up high scores as well as conceding heavy and that is what I expect to happen today.

Of course Arizona had an extraordinary low scoring game against Seattle last week, but I do not see anything like that happening again today.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

The totals is quite high, however I had this game going over 50 points and so am happy to take over 49 points.

The Redskins are likely to have more support in London for this one and I expect them to be aggressive in offense, however, the Bengals are starting to click and they will be confident of racking up the points as well.

Overs for me

I see this one going well over 43.5 points and am happy to take advantage of the odds on offer.

Both teams need to start getting some wins, they are not too far behind at all in the AFC south, but to get the win they need to score points and that is exactly what I see them doing this evening.

Nether team has lived up to their billing so far and I am expecting both to be far more offensive minded this evening than defensive, being defensive has not done them any favours and I will be surprised if we do not see more aggression from both teams.

The Titans have conceded 26 points or more in three of their last four games and I struggle to make a case for them improving on that today.

In four of the Jaguars six games this season they have conceded 27 or more points and again, I struggle to see them improving too much on that sequence either, there is simply no evidence to the contrary.

All things considered this game looks overs for me and that is what I will be going for.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I see points in this one and had this down to go above 47 points and so being able to get on this game with the overs set at 44 is a gift and one I will gladly accept.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

Tricky one this and it could go either way, what I am sure of is that there will be a lot of points and I am taking this one to be over 47 points.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis today, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I see this one being a tight game and for both teams to put some points on the board, I believe that the overs has been set too low and am happy to take advantage.

This game is over 45.5 all day long for me.

My own analysis has this game clearing 50 points and so the over 45.5 on offer is simply a gift for me.

The reason is quite simple, I have very little confidence in both sides defences and can see the respective offences having a field day.

Green Bay are giving up an average of just under 23 points a game and against Brian Hoyer this evening I feel they are very likely to give up at least that amount of points, probably more, especially with the Packers defence likely to be weakened with injuries.

Chiacgo have given up an average of just under 24 points per game this season, they have conceded 23, 29,29 and 31 points in four of their six games this season and I am certain that they will be in that range again this evening, in fact I see them being closer to 30 points than 23. 

I actually think that Green Bay will win and would have backed them, but the spread of 7.5 makes it too hard to call and so was best avoided, but the logic is this, if I see Green Bay giving up at least 23 points and winning then the overs must be over 45.5 points.

Overs for me in this one

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

This game has over 47.5 written all over it, I have this one to go beyond 50 points and so the 47.6 on offer is a gift, both are more than capable of putting points on the board and that is exactly what I expect tonight.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I fully expect this one to go over 50 points and so am happy to accept the 46.5 on offer, both these sides know how to both score and conceded and I do not see them disappointing me tonight.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I am going with the overs in this one, I can see the Bills running out winners here, but the spread was too tight and I have this game down to be over 47, so the over 44 was the definite pick.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

The totals on this one is very high, but I am very confident that these two can sail past it, both have leaky defences and both can score, points galore in this one.

I see this being a high scoring game, I have this down as an over 50 point game and so the over 45.5 points total is a gift in my opinion.

Both teams have been allowing points for fun, neither defence has covered themselves in glory this season, Tampa have conceded an average of 32 points per game and the Panthers 28.5 per game.

Last week Carolina conceded a whopping 48 points against Atlanta while Tampa conceded 27 against Denver.

The big question is, will both teams be able to score freely, the answer for me is yes, simply because they are both playing against vulnerable defences.

The bottom line for me is that I see a lot of points, both are capable of putting points on the board and both are certainly capable of allowing regular points as well.

Overs for me

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I have done very well doing overs when the Raisers are playing, they are good offensively and poor defensively, the perfect ingredients that has done me well so far this season and all the ingredients are here for yet another high scoring game.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I really do like the look of the overs in this one and I am of the opinion that this is a 50+ point game and with the totals being set at just 46 points, it is a nailed on pick for me.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

Not sure about either side on this one, but I am sure there will be a load of points, I see this one going over 50 points and with the totals set at just 47 points, then this is a given for me, the stats say this will be a high scoring game and I agree.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I see this one between the Steelers and Chiefs being a high scoring game, this one I had going over 50 points and so was pleased to see the overs being set at 46.

Due to time constraints there is minimal written analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I fully expect this match up between the Raiders and Ravens to go over 50 points, so being able to back this one with the totals set at 45.5 is an absolute given.

Dolphins @ Bengals

I am going with the unders on this one.

I see this game being a tight low scoring affair as I lack confidence in both their offensives and to some degree both Quarterbacks.

This game could well come down to how their respective Quarterbacks throw the ball, both are struggling with their running game and unless they improve in that area then it will fall to their QB's to put up big performances.

Miami's Ryan Tannehill has turned the ball over no less than five times over his last two outings but has thrown five touchdowns, which compares favourably with the Bengals Andy Dalton, who may have only turned the ball over twice in three games but only thrown two touchdowns.

Bottom line for me is that I see this game being low scoring, certainly lower than the 46.5 on offer, one teams may click and get it right, but not both and even if one of these two did click and get it right I still see the respective defences having decent games.

Low scoring game for me.

Due to time constraints picks will be published without analysis, however, all picks have been fully researched and analysed and you can be assured they come with my full confidence.

I am going for a high scoring game in this one, take the overs
