J.J.BASCUS NOTE'S
Raiders have proved quite a spoiler late in season and have played NFLs toughest SOS this year. DEN ought to roll though needing W for playoff bye, A lot points to give up have to pass on this one?
Seahawks pulled away in the 4th quarter last week and control their own destiny needing a win to secure home field in the playoffs.
The Texans can confidently be expected to win solidly at home vs one of the NFLs worst team considering HOU may end the day with a miraculous playoff seed.
Vegas line has tightened from 10 to 5 for 2 reasons. First NE has home field locked up so starters resting much. And, NE less than impressive last week.
Tune in to see: are the Ravens for real or can CLE (losers of last 4) pull off miracle upset and ruin their ultimate rival's playoff hopes despite QB turmoil.
Quite simply, the Dolphins have to win this game. No playoff ramifications but at 8-7a loss, at home, to 3-12 rival starts conversations no one wants to have.
Bears season can't end fast enough. While Vikings despite 2 straight losses have a new foundation and a lot of hope for next year.
This is it. Simply THE must watch game of the week. Battle for NFC North title. All the drama of a playoff game. DET a chance to show they are SB worthy.
Well, the Colts need to pull it together after getting unequivocally shut down at DAL last week. Vegas confident they will
Vegas line not as high as you would think.
Games like DAL at WAS have significance beyond numbers. Week 17 filled with these type games
The battle for the NFC South, 6-9 Falcons expected to beat 6-8-1 CAR in Atlanta.
Bucs need to find a way to run the ball and slow the game down but Saints have slipped to #23 in our power rankings and maybe they that bad or worse.
Chargers control their own destiny. And should be filled with confidence after miracle comeback at SF last week. KC still alive. This is must watch football
Two hot teams CIN at PIT collide in a battle for the AFC North title. J.J. Bascus and Vegas in line.
Arizona is limping into the playoffs just 2-3 in last 5 games and Vegas/ J.J. Bascus expects one more loss.
Difference with Vegas: Giants have suddenly sparked to life with 3 straight wins
SYSTEM SMITTY RYANS NOTE'S
Going against Aron Rodgers in Lambeau field is a handicapper's nightmare[ Home 5-1-1]. Average score beat their opponents 41-20. The Over 6 out of 7 games.The Packers end up with just a +1 advantage with my stats. I was pretty shocked when the Packers came out as 7+ point favorites according to various Vegas betting lines. Detroit has always given Green Bay a tough time, and although they have a huge drought of winning in Green Bay, they have played them competitively almost every season since the Matt Millen years. I don't think they'll end up winning this year, but they surely have a shot at it The Packers are 5-1-1 ATS at home, with six of those games going over. Lions who allow only 13.8 ppg on the road and have the No. 2 defense in the NFL, allowing only 295 ypg. The under is also 7-0 in the last seven road games for the Lions, who cannot be trusted to score a lot of points on the road due to the struggles of quarterback Matthew Stafford outdoors.. Check weather could affect the over?
The Chiefs have lost four of their last five, but have covered five of their last six at home. KC. QB Alex Smith (spleen) OUTThe Chiefs are just 2-8 SU in their last 10 home games against AFC West opponents—going 3-7 ATS—and that speaks volumes regarding Reid, who also helped them get off to a great start last season before faltering down the stretch. San Diego is in much better current form, so bet on the Chargers is my pick.
Cincinnati has won five of its last six, the lone loss in that stretch coming against the Steelers, and Pitt is in on a three-game winning streak. Andy Dalton responded to the news predictably, vomiting a pick-six to Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib to start the Monday-nighter. But then something strange happened. The Bengals finally adjusted to night football, like third-shift workers who suddenly notice they are no longer yawning at 3:30 in the morning. What's more, they overcame their success phobia and played a complete, physical, mostly brilliant game to beat the Broncos. While Pitt has won and covered two in a row in this series, revenge could be a factor for the Bengals. Temperatures around 37 degrees and winds of seven mph out of the north are expected. There’s about 33 percent chance of rain
