Titans vs. Chargers
OVER 45
Take Over the Total in the game between the Tennessee Titans and the Los Angeles Chargers. Tennessee (3-3) followed up their 13-12 loss in Buffalo two week’s ago with a 21-0 shutout loss at home last week. The Titans have then played 30 of their last 45 games Over the Total after failing to score more than 17 points in two straight games. Tennessee has also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after failing to score more than 14 points in their last contest. Los Angeles (4-2) comes off a 38-14 win at Cleveland last week. The Chargers have then played 8 of their last 13 games Over the Total after a game where at least 50 combined points were scored. LA averaged 7.88 Yards-Per-Play in that game — and they have played 4 straight games Over the Total after averaging at least 6.5 YPP in their last game. Take the Over. Best of luck — Frank.

While it is true the Bengals have played their last pair of games Under the total, it is also true that both of those games were played at home. Cincy's first 3 this year on the road have ALL played Over the total - Over in Indianapolis, Over at Carolina, and Over at Atlanta - and I see this Sunday night road game also landing Over the total at Kansas City.
The Chiefs resumed their high-scoring ways last Sunday night in New England, as they combined for 83 points with the Patriots in an easy Over. That made it 4 of their first 6 this year Over the total for Andy Reid's team.
Patrick Mahomes has been able to help Kansas City generate close to 36 points per game for the year, while Andy Dalton has Cincinnati cranking at 29 points per game for the year. It is likely that both teams will reach those marks tonight, especially since Kansas City likes to get the pigskin snapped in a hurry.
Both teams feature "home run hitters" that are capable of scoring any time they touch the football, and both teams also feature defenses that have had a hard time making the stops needed to keep their games from playing Over the total.
This one shapes up to be a prime-time shootout.
Bengals-Chiefs make it Over the total.

TOMMY BRUNSON
Chiefs are back after their first loss of the season last Sunday night at New England, as KC dropped a 43-40 decision but covered as the +3 1/2 point underdog. So, a 6th straight cover, and a 10 game regular season cover streak now dating back to last year in the regular season for Andy Reid's team as they get "time flexed" to play host in primetime with their sizzling QB - Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes has throw a few picks the past 2 games, and while he did have another 4 TD passes last week, those interceptions along with the fact the Kansas City defense continues to yield big yards and big points tells me the points that Vegas is offering tonight are well worth investing in with the Cincinnati Bengals.
KC may be on a 10-0 spread roll, but consider that Cincy is 3-1 against the spread this year as the underdog, and on a 9-4-1 overall run as the underdog their last 14 when catching points.
The Bengals lost a tough one in the final minute last week at home to division-rival Pittsburgh, falling to 4-2 on the season, and the job gets no easier at night at Arrowhead, but Andy Dalton does have some weapons of his own he can turn to, and RB Joe Mixon is back in the lineup healthy.
Until the Chiefs defense becomes more consistent on the stop end, I am going to run with the potent Bengals plus the points to trade scoring shots with the Chiefs this Sunday night.

Event: (453) New England Patriots at (454) Chicago Bears
Sport/League: NFL
Date/Time: October 21, 2018 1PM EDT
Play: Chicago Bears 2.5 (-110)
New England is never easy to play against, and the Pats are back on a roll. But they're off an insane game with KC and Gronkowski is apparently out as he did not travel with the team for this game. Even the Patriots can be played against in spots like this. As for the Bears, we might find out what they're made of here. That's a tough loss they took at Miami last Sunday. But the fact remains this team should be 5-0. They blew the Green Bay game and they probably blew last week's game as well because they went way too conservative on offense in the overtime. That doesn't alter the opinion that the Bears are actually a pretty good football team and I think they've got a great shot to get the win in this game.

Chiefs are the new "America's Team" but they did lose that game last week and sit exactly where they were last season at 5-1. Bengals are resilient, have plenty of weapons, and Chiefs "D" leaves much to be desired. At nearly a TD, the spread could come into play. Play Bengals

After being held under wraps the past 2 weeks - just 12 points versus Baltimore, 14 points against the Chargers - look for Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland offense to get back on track against a Tampa Bay defense that is so bad they fired their coordinator Mike Smith earlier this week.
The Buccaneers is allowing over 34 points per game this year, and not surprisingly, all 5 of Tampa's games have made their way Over the total!
Care to make it 6 for 6 Over?
The Browns have been involved in Overs in 2 of their last 3 games, and on the road the over has been connecting to a tune of 7-3 their last 10 away from Lake Erie, and 13 of their last 18 overall on the highway have also ended up in the Over column.
Baker should become the "Touchdown Maker" against this defense today.
Jameis Winston did throw 4 TD passes last weekend at Atlanta, but he also had a pair of interceptions versus a decimated Falcons secondary.
I like the points to add up to an Over at Raymond James Stadium today.

Flames vs. Rangers
UNDER 6
The Rangers have already seen the "under" go a perfect 4-0 at MSG this season, games here averaging 4.5 combined goals. Meanwhile, the Flames have seen two of their last three road games fall below the number. After giving up five against Nashville last time out, they'll be determined to improve defensively; the "under" is 37-22 the past 2+ seasons, after they allowed four or more goals in their previous game. Consider the Under 6 goals.

My Bonus Play in the NFL for Week 7 is going to be the Over in the Interconference game between the New England Patriots and Chicago Bears.
This won't take long, as I'm on a conspiracy kick for this one. The New England Patriots are heading into dangerous territory to face the defensive minded Chicago Bears, with Khalil Mack leading the charge, and the number is 49 points.
Why?
Because the oddsmakers know this number is going to soar.
The Patriots, who have gone high in half their games this season, have shown they can keep out of the end zone just one time, in a 38-7 win against Miami. Toss that game out and they've allowed 20, 31, 26, 24 and 40 points. They come to Chicago after a short week - they played at home on Sunday night versus Kansas City - and face a hungry Bears team that is fully capable offensively.
That will leave Tom Brady to answer the call when his team needs him most.
The Bears, meanwhile, have gone over in their last two games, scoring 48 points against Tampa Bay, then allowing 31 in a three-point loss in Miami... the same Dolphins team the Pats held to 7 points.
Weird game, but the oddsmakers nailed it. This one goes high.

ERIC SCHROEDER
If you were to ask me which team has had it worse this season, or, looked worse, I'd most certainly tell you the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are worse than the Cleveland Browns.
The Bucs have looked inconsistent and been listless at times on offense. They don't show the fire they should all 60 minutes of a game, and that's something I've been impressed by when speaking of the Browns.
Baker Mayfield has been impressive, even in defeat. And he's vowed to respond after a brutal loss last Sunday to the San Diego Chargers.
The Browns are 2-3-1 but are in the thick of an early AFC North chase that may end up in Ohio. Cincinnati and Baltimore sit atop the division with 4-2 marks, while Pittsburgh (3-2-1) is in front of Cleveland. But something tells me we will see every team in first place by the season's end.
And the team with the most toughness will remain in the end. I think that team could very well be the Browns, who have two wins in a season for the first time since 2015.
I love Cleveland in this spot on the road, against the struggling Buccaneers.
Tampa Bay is 2-3 and sitting in third place in the NFC South. The Bucs handed first-place New Orleans its only loss, but have been brutal ever since. They've been outscored by 32 points, and have the second-worst defense in the league.
Tampa Bay has shown toughness in stopping the run, but ranks dead last in stopping the pass.
Enter Mayfield, who has shown poise and maturity, and can take full advantage of this secondary. I expect him to put up big numbers in a favorable climate and lead the Browns to a win.
I'll play the road team in this one.
And like with all football plays in this point-spread range, I want you active in buying the half point. Anytime there is an underdog catching between +2.5 and +4, you are to buy the half point up.
