$600.00 -105 Take #115 New Orleans (+3) over Dallas (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 23)
This is a bad situation for Dallas. New Orleans is a rival of the Cowboys. There was talk last month about the Cowboys trying to go after Saints coach Sean Payton in the offseason. The Saints are out of the playoff race with a loss. They are probably out of the playoffs anyway. But they still need to win this game. And they will still want to be a spoiler. Dallas has won three straight games. Their last two wins were comeback wins. I think they are running out of steam. The underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the Saints are 5-0 ATS as a favorite. The Cowboys have not been a strong team in December the last several seasons. I think they will fall flat here. Take the Saints to win this one.
$2000.00 -105 Take #117 Washington (-6) over Philadelphia (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 23)
This play is from my NFL 411 monday I got this game at -4.5 but will rated it at -6
I liked Washington even before finding out that Robert Griffin was going to play. He is probable. But no matter who is at quarterback this Redskins team is on a roll right now. Philadelphia is a team that is just waiting for the season to end. I cashed against them last week on Thursday with Cincinnati. This team is young and they are not ready to compete against playoff teams. The Redskins won the first meeting 31-6 and that was on Nov. 18. I do not think a lot has changed since then. And I do not think that the home field will make that big of a difference. The favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings between these rivals. Washington is 5-0 SU and ATS in the last five weeks. They are going to keep it going this week and they will beat the Eagles by more than a touchdown. Lay the points.
$600.00 -105 Take #113 Indianapolis (-6.5) over Kansas City (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 23)
The rumor came out that the Chiefs are going to fire the coach and general manager. I think that is going to have an impact on this team. I think that this is another team that is just ready for the season to be over. I think that the Colts need to win this game and that they will. Andrew Luck has been very good in his rookie season. His team has rallied around him. The Colts are playing to lock up a playoff spot. No one thought that would happen at the start of the year. Indy has been very good against bad teams this year. They won by 17 at Jacksonville and won by six points at Tennessee. They also won at Detroit. The Colts are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games. They will bounce back after their loss to Houston. And they will beat a Chiefs team just waiting for the season to end.
$400.00 -105 Take 'Under' 41.5 Buffalo at Miami (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 23)
This Miami defense played great last week against Jacksonville and held them to just three points. I think they will continue to play well against a struggling Buffalo offense. The Bills gave up 50 points last week to Seattle. You know that they will have all of their focus on defense this week and will be better on that side of the ball. Just like Arizona's defense did last week after giving up 50 points the week before. These teams are 1-4 against the total in their last five meetings and 3-6 against the total in their last nine. They combined to score just 33 points when they played this year in Buffalo. The 'under' is 8-2 in Miami's last 20 games and I think that this total is too high. Take the 'under'.
$500.00 ev Take #110 Pittsburgh (-3.5) over Cincinnati (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 23)
The Steelers are in a must-win game after the overtime loss last week in Dallas. That is back-to-back losses. But they are going to win this game and cover this spread. The Steelers have won five straight over the Bengals. Pittsburgh is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games at home against the Bengals. this is a game that the Steelers have to have and that they won't let get away from them. Take the motivated home team.
