Jets vs. Bills
DMack's Bonus Play for Sunday, December 9, 2018 is on the Buffalo Bills
Both teams are off soul crushing losses losses in Week 13 but can't see the Jets recovering from theirs. The Flyboys had the Texan dead to rights but couldn't finish as the Titans stormed back from a 16-6 halftime deficit to win with a 13-0 fourth quarter. The Bills are flawed for sure but are playing hard every play and lost to Miami dropped a wide open bunny in the end zone that would have gave the Bills a win. Josh Allen is proving a lot of people wrong with his arm and legs and gets the money in a matchup versus what we figure will be a lifeless Jet team.

Sunday's FREE NFL WINNER: Los Angeles Chargers.
Game 126.
1:05 pm pst.
I don't like laying DD's in the NFL, but the Chargers, at 9-3, are chasing the Chiefs (10-2) for the AFC West title. There is no smart bettor that will tell you to play a Bengals team which has dropped four in a row and six of their last seven, and is now without their starting QB and one of the best WR's in football. Even with Andy Dalton and AJ Green, this team wasn't all that good. Los Angeles showed just how good of a team they are overcoming a 16-point deficit to beat Pittsburgh in Heinz Field last week. Phillip Rivers is having an MVP-worthy season and will shred the 31st ranked pass defense of Cincinnati here, while Dustin Ekeler and Justin Jackson team up in Melvin Gordon's absence to steamroll the 32nd ranked run defense. Cincinnati is 1-4 ATS the last five vs. AFC foes and 1-6 ATS the last seven overall. Los Angeles is 5-2 ATS the last seven vs. AFC opponents and 4-1 ATS the last five overall. Take the Chargers. Thank you.

Steelers vs. Raiders
UNDER 51½ -110
#NFL FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The Pittsburgh Steelers are a huge favorite at Oakland Sunday afternoon, and that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone considering how the home team has played of late.
The Raiders have won only two games all season and had been held to a total of 49 points through their last four games before recording 33 in a loss to KC last time out.
The Steelers are a solid 4-1 away from home this season, despite the fact that their offense doesn't travel all that well. They've averaged just 23.2 ppg on the road but also allowed opponents to score only 20.8 ppg.
We can also note that first-year starting running back James Conner (fifth in the NFL in rushing yards) will miss the game due to a sprained ankle.
Under is 16-6 in Steelers last 22 vs. a team with a losing record. Under is 6-2 in Raiders last 8 vs. a team with a winning record.
Free pick on UNDER.

Saints vs. Bucs
Bucs+10½ -130
My Bonus Play is on the TB Bucs at 1:00 ET. The New Orleans Saints saw their 10-game winning streak (run of nine consecutive ATS wins, as well) end with the team's Week 13 Thursday night 13-10 loss at Dallas. The 10-2 Saints will continue their march toward a first-round bye in the NFC playoffs when they visit the 5-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. New Orleans dropped a 48-40 decision to Tampa Bay its Week 1 home opener and is coming of its worst offensive performance of the season last week in a 13-10 loss at the Dallas Cowboys on Nov. 29. As for the Bucs, they are in third place in the NFC South but are starting to play better with wins in their last two contests. New Orleans can clinch the NFC South with a win on Sunday and is counting on a bounce-back performance from QB Drew Brees. The age-less Brees posted a season-low 71.6 QB rating last week in passing for just 127 yards.Brees is completing 75.5% on the season with 30 TDPs and just three INTs (123.2 QB rating). The Saints are averaging 34.9 PPG (3rd), so one could (should?) expect a better effort here. After all, New Orleans looked unstoppable during the second half of its 10-game run, averaging 41 points during its last five wins before Brees was held to a season-low 127 yards with one touchdown and only his third interception of the year by the Cowboys (Saints managed only 176 total). Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 417 yards and four TDPs in the Bucs' Week 1 win over the Saints but Tampa Bay has turned the current QB duties back to Jameis Winston. Winston has helped the Bucs to back-to-back wins by playing turnover-free football with a total of four TDs and zero INTs. The Tampa Bay defense has also done its job, allowing only 26 points. Tampa Bay opened the season 2-0 but then lost seven of eight. The back-to-back victories have resuscitated the Bucs' playoff hopes but there is no margin of error the rest of the way. The knee-jerk reaction is to expect the Sainst to rebound from last week's loss (first since Week 1) and avenge that Week 1 to the Bucs. However, the Bucs looked revived. Tampa Bay is 4-0 ATS in its last four December games, including a Week 17 upset of New Orleans last year (31-24 at plus-6). Throw in these two factoids (the Saints are 1-4 ATS in their last five visits to Tampa and that Saints have failed to cover 10 of their last 14 games when favored by at least seven points) and taking the points seems the right way to go.

NFL PLAY ON Under 48.5 Points - New England @ Miami, Sunday at 1:00 PM ET
Windy conditions are forecast in Miami on Sunday which won’t help either passing game. Pats head coach Bill Belichick has been known for locking up the division early and then going conservative down the stretch. Last year they averaged 30 PPG through their first 11 games and once the division was pretty much locked up, they averaged 26 PPG their last 5. This year they have the AFC East pretty much in hand with a 3 game lead with 4 to play. Their offense has gone run heavy over the last few weeks as Belichick goes conservative late in the season again. The last two weeks the Pats have run the ball 75 times while passing just 63 times. They’ve failed to top 27 points in 4 of their last 5 games. In their last 6 trips to Miami, the Patriots have scored more than 23 points only once. Another thing that Belichick teams have done is they get better defensively as the year goes on. Last year this team had a horrendous start defensively but they turned it around late allowing only 13.4 PPG over their last 7 games. It looks like they are heading in that direction again as the New England defense has given up 17 points or less in 4 of their last 5 games. They shouldn’t have trouble keeping a bad Miami offense in check on Sunday. The Fins are averaging just 20 PPG on the season and rank 29th in total offense at 302 YPG. Over their last 4 games Miami has totaled 168, 294, 175, and 313 total yards. Earlier this year vs the Patriots they scored only 7 points on 172 total yards. We have a feeling that the Patriots goal here will be to run the ball as much as they can again and grind out a win. Brady’s knee has been bothering him and they want to keep Gronkowski healthy heading into the playoffs. This number is set at 48 and the Patriots have not topped 48 points since October 21st. Miami has gone UNDER the total 4 straight games as well. Lastly, since 2005 when two division teams match up in week 11 or later and the total is set at 45 or higher, the UNDER has cashed 62% of the time (169-104 to the under). We like the UNDER in this division rivalry.

Sport/League: NFL
Date/Time: December 9, 2018 1PM EST
Play: Total Under 55.0 (-108)
3% Take Tampa Bay – New Orleans UNDER (#113-114)
The Bucs were one of the strongest Over teams in the NFL; 8-2 to the Over heading into their game against the 49ers two weeks ago. But something noticeably different happened in that ballgame compared to ANY previous Bucs game this season – Jameis Winston settled for checkdown throws. No surprise, then, that the game stayed nearly three touchdowns UNDER the total.
It’s worth noting that in Tampa’s previous home game, they held the Redskins to 16 points, another UNDER cash. Then, last week, the Bucs picked off Cam Newton four times, three in the red zone; the type of inspired defensive effort that has been the exception, not the rule for Tampa this season. In fact, it’s surely worth noting that all four of the Bucs Unders this season have cashed right here at home.
Expect plenty of checkdown throws from Winston again this week; a QB who made it very clear – he’s not trying to produce Fitz-Magic the rest of the way by taking deep shots downfield. “I don't have anything to prove to anyone. What we have to do is win. The easiest way to win is to keep everything simple and not beat yourself."
Dirk Koetter concurs with the ‘safe checkdown throws’ approach. Here’s his postgame quote: “Jameis played quarterback the way you need to play it in the NFL until you get into desperation time, which we never did today. Jameis wasn't perfect, but he played a good game. I'm proud of him. It's been a difficult road. He sees what that looks like. He needs to consistently play like that."
The Saints defense has played brilliantly the last two weeks, holding the Cowboys and Falcons to 13 points apiece. But their ‘rhythm’ offense has clearly been out of sync for the past two weeks as Sean Payton’s squad has cashed back-2-back Unders with room to spare. And even in the midst of an MVP caliber campaign, Drew Brees is still a MUCH better QB in the home dome: 9.7 yards per attempt vs. 7.1 ypa, a significant differential. Throw in a rainy forecast on Sunday and the case for the Under is perfectly clear. Take the Saints – Bucs UNDER.

That said, this is a horrendous scheduling situation for the Chargers. Off a tremendous come from behind victory on national television against the Steelers, with a Thursday Night Football game at Kansas City on deck. After that contestLos Angeles finishes the season against two more fringe playoff teams in the Ravens and Broncos. San Diego has already shown it's not a team to lay big numbers with as Anthony Lynn is very conservative with the lead.

Last Straw
-- The Green Bay Packers suffered an embarrassing home loss to the Arizona Cardinals, 20-17, despite entering as 13 1/2-point favorites. The Pack slipped to 4-7-1 SU/ATS, and are nearly mathematically eliminated from the playoff hunt. As a result, the team decided to show head coach Mike McCarthy the door, firing him on Sunday night and naming Joe Philbin as the interim head coach. The Browns are the only team to make an in-season coaching change in 2018, and they lost the very next week back on Nov. 4, while failing to cover, too. The Pack welcome the equally unimpressive Atlanta Falcons next Sunday at Lambeau.
Dogs Barking
-- It all started on Thursday night when the Dallas Cowboys upended the New Orleans Saints 13-10 as 7 1/2-point underdogs, and Sunday the upsets continued in the early window. The Jacksonville Jaguars topped the Indianapolis Colts 6-0 in the lowest-scoring game of 2018 as 4 1/2-point 'dogs, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won as 3 1/2-point underdogs in their building against the division rival Carolina Panthers, the Baltimore Ravens kept the 'dogs barking with a 26-16 win on the road against the Atlanta Falcons as they didn't need the 2 1/2 points they were catching. The New York Giants edged the Chicago Bears in overtime, as suddenly the G-Men are resembling an NFL-caliber team again. And of course, we mentioned the Pack above as near two-touchdown underdogs. The Los Angeles Chargers finished off the day with a 33-30 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, erasing a 23-7 lead. It was the first time the Steelers blew a lead at home when leading by 14 or more points, as they entered the day 220-0-2 in such situations. Wacky.
Total Recall
-- The highest total on the board (54) was the Los Angeles Rams-Detroit Lions game, and it came in eight points under. The two games with a total of 53 1/2 ended up hitting the 'over'. The Chargers-Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs-Oakland Raiders games each eclipsed the over. However, the five games with totals listed over 50 ended up hitting the 'under' at a 3-2 clip. One of those games was the Panthers-Bucs. The 'under' is now 3-1 in the past four games for the Bucs after the 'over' started out 7-1 in the first eight.
-- The lowest total on the board was the battle between the Buffalo Bills-Miami Dolphins (40) battle, and it ended up just hitting the 'under'. The New York Jets-Tennessee Titans (40.5) ended up hitting the 'over, as the Titans erased a big New York lead to come back and win 26-22. The Cards-Pack (41) also hit the 'under' in a rather low-scoring week.
-- The 'over/under' went 1-2 last week in three primetime games in Week 12, and is 1-1 so far this week with the Washington Redskins-Philadelphia Eagles (45) game pending. Overall for the 2018 season the 'over' in primetime games is 21-18 (53.8%).
Officially, the 'over' finished 25-23-1 (52.1%) in 49 games under the lights in 2017.
In 2016, the 'over' in night games went (52.9%) through 51 games.
In 2015, the over finished 20-28-1 (41.7%) in 49 primetime games.
In 2014, the over went 33-17 (66.0%) in primetime games, and the over was 28-22 (56.0%) in 2013.
Injury Report
-- Bengals WR A.J. Green (foot) was carted off with a right foot injury, after just returning from a multi-week toe injury. Green was visibly upset on the cart and it could be a potentially serious injury.
-- Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) left Sunday's game in Tampa with a ruptured plantar fascia and he is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
-- Steelers RB James Conner (leg) was forced out of the Sunday night game late in the fourth quarter with a lower leg injury, and head coach Mike Tomlin said after the game that the back suffered a contusion.
Looking Ahead
-- The Giants have posted a 3-0-1 ATS mark over their past four, and they're an impressive 5-0 ATS in the past five road contests. The Redskins are 4-1 ATS in their past five at home, though. In this series the under is 4-0 in the past four meetings, and 5-1 in the past six at FedEx Field. The underdog is 11-5 in the past 16 meetings in this series.
-- The Saints head to Tampa with a 19-7 ATS mark in the past 26 road games, while going 15-6 ATS in the past 21 inside the division. The Bucs are 5-2 ATS in the past seven against NFC South opponents, while going 4-1 ATS in the past five home games against the Saints. The under is 8-2 in the past 10 in Tampa, and 14-6 in the past 20 meetings overall. However, the over hit in the Week 1 matchup in New Orleans.
-- Houston has won nine in a row after opening 0-3 SU. They're 5-0 ATS in the past five against AFC contests, while going posting 5-1 ATS mark in the past six overall. The Colts are just 3-8-1 ATS in the past 12 inside the division including their ugly 6-0 loss at Jacksonville on Sunday. Indy is 4-0-1 ATS in the past five trips to Houston, and 7-3-2 ATS in the past 12 in the series.
-- The Patriots have covered five in a row inside the division, and they're 17-6 ATS in the past 23 on the road. The Dolphins are 5-1 ATS in the past six at home, but just 4-10 ATS in the past 14 against teams with a winning overall mark. New England is just 1-5 ATS in the past six trips to South Florida.
-- The Jets head to Western New York to battle the Bills in Week 14. New York is 1-5 ATS in the past six trips to Buffalo, and they're 3-7 ATS in the past 10 in this series. The under is 5-2 in the past seven in meetings in Buffalo, too.
-- The Cowboys have covered four in a row after their upset against the Saints, and they're also 6-1 ATS in the past seven inside the division, too. They will face Philly on Sunday, a team who played on Monday in Week 13. Dallas had three extra days to rest after playing last Thursday. The Eagles are 5-2 ATS in the past seven trips to Dallas, however, and the road team is 11-3 ATS in the past 14 in this series.

Last Straw
-- The Green Bay Packers suffered an embarrassing home loss to the Arizona Cardinals, 20-17, despite entering as 13 1/2-point favorites. The Pack slipped to 4-7-1 SU/ATS, and are nearly mathematically eliminated from the playoff hunt. As a result, the team decided to show head coach Mike McCarthy the door, firing him on Sunday night and naming Joe Philbin as the interim head coach. The Browns are the only team to make an in-season coaching change in 2018, and they lost the very next week back on Nov. 4, while failing to cover, too. The Pack welcome the equally unimpressive Atlanta Falcons next Sunday at Lambeau.
Dogs Barking
-- It all started on Thursday night when the Dallas Cowboys upended the New Orleans Saints 13-10 as 7 1/2-point underdogs, and Sunday the upsets continued in the early window. The Jacksonville Jaguars topped the Indianapolis Colts 6-0 in the lowest-scoring game of 2018 as 4 1/2-point 'dogs, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won as 3 1/2-point underdogs in their building against the division rival Carolina Panthers, the Baltimore Ravens kept the 'dogs barking with a 26-16 win on the road against the Atlanta Falcons as they didn't need the 2 1/2 points they were catching. The New York Giants edged the Chicago Bears in overtime, as suddenly the G-Men are resembling an NFL-caliber team again. And of course, we mentioned the Pack above as near two-touchdown underdogs. The Los Angeles Chargers finished off the day with a 33-30 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, erasing a 23-7 lead. It was the first time the Steelers blew a lead at home when leading by 14 or more points, as they entered the day 220-0-2 in such situations. Wacky.
Total Recall
-- The highest total on the board (54) was the Los Angeles Rams-Detroit Lions game, and it came in eight points under. The two games with a total of 53 1/2 ended up hitting the 'over'. The Chargers-Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs-Oakland Raiders games each eclipsed the over. However, the five games with totals listed over 50 ended up hitting the 'under' at a 3-2 clip. One of those games was the Panthers-Bucs. The 'under' is now 3-1 in the past four games for the Bucs after the 'over' started out 7-1 in the first eight.
-- The lowest total on the board was the battle between the Buffalo Bills-Miami Dolphins (40) battle, and it ended up just hitting the 'under'. The New York Jets-Tennessee Titans (40.5) ended up hitting the 'over, as the Titans erased a big New York lead to come back and win 26-22. The Cards-Pack (41) also hit the 'under' in a rather low-scoring week.
-- The 'over/under' went 1-2 last week in three primetime games in Week 12, and is 1-1 so far this week with the Washington Redskins-Philadelphia Eagles (45) game pending. Overall for the 2018 season the 'over' in primetime games is 21-18 (53.8%).
Officially, the 'over' finished 25-23-1 (52.1%) in 49 games under the lights in 2017.
In 2016, the 'over' in night games went (52.9%) through 51 games.
In 2015, the over finished 20-28-1 (41.7%) in 49 primetime games.
In 2014, the over went 33-17 (66.0%) in primetime games, and the over was 28-22 (56.0%) in 2013.
Injury Report
-- Bengals WR A.J. Green (foot) was carted off with a right foot injury, after just returning from a multi-week toe injury. Green was visibly upset on the cart and it could be a potentially serious injury.
-- Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) left Sunday's game in Tampa with a ruptured plantar fascia and he is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
-- Steelers RB James Conner (leg) was forced out of the Sunday night game late in the fourth quarter with a lower leg injury, and head coach Mike Tomlin said after the game that the back suffered a contusion.
Looking Ahead
-- The Giants have posted a 3-0-1 ATS mark over their past four, and they're an impressive 5-0 ATS in the past five road contests. The Redskins are 4-1 ATS in their past five at home, though. In this series the under is 4-0 in the past four meetings, and 5-1 in the past six at FedEx Field. The underdog is 11-5 in the past 16 meetings in this series.
-- The Saints head to Tampa with a 19-7 ATS mark in the past 26 road games, while going 15-6 ATS in the past 21 inside the division. The Bucs are 5-2 ATS in the past seven against NFC South opponents, while going 4-1 ATS in the past five home games against the Saints. The under is 8-2 in the past 10 in Tampa, and 14-6 in the past 20 meetings overall. However, the over hit in the Week 1 matchup in New Orleans.
-- Houston has won nine in a row after opening 0-3 SU. They're 5-0 ATS in the past five against AFC contests, while going posting 5-1 ATS mark in the past six overall. The Colts are just 3-8-1 ATS in the past 12 inside the division including their ugly 6-0 loss at Jacksonville on Sunday. Indy is 4-0-1 ATS in the past five trips to Houston, and 7-3-2 ATS in the past 12 in the series.
-- The Patriots have covered five in a row inside the division, and they're 17-6 ATS in the past 23 on the road. The Dolphins are 5-1 ATS in the past six at home, but just 4-10 ATS in the past 14 against teams with a winning overall mark. New England is just 1-5 ATS in the past six trips to South Florida.
-- The Jets head to Western New York to battle the Bills in Week 14. New York is 1-5 ATS in the past six trips to Buffalo, and they're 3-7 ATS in the past 10 in this series. The under is 5-2 in the past seven in meetings in Buffalo, too.
-- The Cowboys have covered four in a row after their upset against the Saints, and they're also 6-1 ATS in the past seven inside the division, too. They will face Philly on Sunday, a team who played on Monday in Week 13. Dallas had three extra days to rest after playing last Thursday. The Eagles are 5-2 ATS in the past seven trips to Dallas, however, and the road team is 11-3 ATS in the past 14 in this series.

NFL Underdogs: Week 14 pointspread picks and predictions
Jason Logan
The best Christmas gifts are often the ones you didn’t see coming. In the age of gift cards and subtle hinting (my wife just sends me links to stuff she wants on Amazon), that rare surprise can bring you the most joy.
The Arizona Cardinals are that mystery package in Week 14 of the NFL season – the Cardinals defense to be exact. At first shake, you have a stop unit allowing almost 26 points per game for a 3-9 team that has surrendered 45 points in two separate outings this season. Not much to get excited about.
But, as you tear into the layers of wrapping, you find some shocking statistics around the Arizona defense. The Cardinals do many things right – the same things that elite-level defenses do – like getting opponents off the field on third down (allowing foes to convert just under 31 percent of the time the past three games). They also give up just 5.3 yards per play on the season (5.1 the last three games). Oh, and did you know Arizona’s defense is tied for third in the NFL in sacks with 38?
The Cardinals are primed to surprise the Detroit Lions Sunday, getting a field goal at home from the Bookmakers. Detroit is playing its first road game in almost a month and has really struggled to score, going all the way back to October. The Lions have averaged just over 16 points in their last six showings, and that’s exactly what they put up in losses to the Bears and Rams the past two weeks.
Detroit is extremely banged up heading into this game, with just about every key player on both sides of the ball making their way to the injury list in some form for Week 14. Rookie running back Kerryon Johnson is likely out of order again and what’s left of the receiving corps is limping into Sunday. The Lions have leaned heavily on their tight ends and running backs to make up for a lack of targets, but the Cards have done well defending the pass against both those positions.
I know there’s the potential for a letdown spot from Arizona after stunning Green Bay in Lambeau last Sunday, but as I said, this team is full of surprises. And honestly, I’m surprised this spread is where it’s at right now.
Pick: Arizona +3
Carolina Panthers at Cleveland Browns (+2, 47)
The Panthers are pitiful on the road, going 1-5 SU and ATS as visitors. Week 14 sends them to Cleveland for their second straight road game and their fourth contest away from home in the past five weeks.
Carolina averages 11 points less per road game compared to at home, and Cam Newton’s throwing shoulder sounds like a bag of broken glass every time he cocks his arm back. Newton is in such bad shape, he was yanked and replaced by backup Taylor Heinicke for a last-second Hail Mary after noodle-arming a deep throw in the dying seconds in Tampa Bay last Sunday.
Cleveland is somehow being discounted at home against a team that’s dropped four straight. The Browns fell into an obvious letdown spot at Houston in Week 13, playing their second straight road game, coming off an emotional win over Cincinnati and former head coach Hue Jackson as well as stringing together consecutive wins for the first time since Jesus was a baby. I’m going to cut them some slack here.
The Browns are back home and hungry for another taste of victory, boasting a 4-2 ATS mark inside FirstEnergy Stadium. Hopefully, Baker Mayfield wakes up feeling dangerous Sunday morning. I know I will.
Pick: Cleveland +2
Pittsburgh Steelers at Oakland Raiders (+10.5, 51.5)
Oh man, there are so many things going sideways for this Steelers team, it makes betting the Raiders almost too obvious. And that’s crazy talk.
Pittsburgh is still reeling from a blown 23-7 halftime lead at home to the Chargers last week, a game in which they lost running back James Conner for at least this Sunday’s trip to Oakland. This cross-country hike is also the team’s third road game in four weeks and this squad doesn’t do as well away from home, averaging more than 11 points less per game as a visitor.
Annnnnnd, the Steelers just so happen to have a monster of a matchup on tap in Week 15, welcoming the New England Patriots to Heinz Field in a red-hot revenge spot (remember that Jesse James non-TD catch in Week 15 last year? My bankroll does). Pittsburgh has failed to cover in its last three regular season games immediately followed by a meeting with the Patriots. Perhaps the Steelers hold back on the playbook – and the points - as to not give too much away to Belichick & Co (because you know that creep has cameras everywhere).
As for the Raiders, well, they didn’t look as bad in the second half versus the Chiefs last week, completing the classic backdoor cover with a 17-point fourth quarter to land inside the two-touchdown spread. Derek Carr seems to have his turnover troubles under control, having not thrown an interception in seven straight games, and has a passer rating of 100.4 over his last three outings.
Pick: Oakland +10.5

Games to Watch - Week 14
Week 13 of the NFL season finished with the Philadelphia Eagles keeping their season alive with a much-needed win over the Washington Redskins. Things look a lot bleaker for the Redskins, though, as they lost their second QB to a broken leg this season, with back-up Colt McCoy joining Alex Smith on the injury list for the rest of the season. Both teams now need to look forward to Week 14, as we are beginning to get down to the wire, with just 4 weeks left to decide who is in and who is out.
Let’s take a quick look ahead at the best games on the calendar this week in the NFL.
Baltimore Ravens (+7 -125) at Kansas City Chiefs (-7 +105)
The Ravens looked to be in trouble just a few short weeks ago after falling below .500 and losing Joe Flacco to injury. 3 weeks later and the Ravens are back in the hunt after going unbeaten with rookie QB Lamar Jackson at the helm. They are now just a half game back of the Steelers at the top of the AFC North, but they have a tough one ahead of them this weekend, with a trip to KC to face the Chiefs on Sunday. This one is going to be a battler between the great defense of the Ravens and the offense of the Chiefs, with the slight edge here going to Kansas City.
Philadelphia Eagles (+4 -110) at Dallas Cowboys (-4 -110)
The NFC East has been turned on its head in recent weeks, with the Dallas Cowboys coming to life at the expense of the injury riddled Redskins. The Cowboys are now in control of their own destiny and they can take another huge step towards the playoffs with a win against the defending Super Bowl Champions this weekend. The Eagles kept their postseason hopes alive with a win on Monday night versus the Redskins, making for a tight race at the top. Dallas are rolling right now, and I like them to win this one, too.
Los Angeles Rams (-3 -115) at Chicago Bears (+3 -105)
This is one with definite playoff implications, although both of these teams do appear to be playoff bound. The Rams are definitely in, as they have already clinched the division with an 11-1 record, but they will be looking to also lock up the #1 spot in the NFC so that they can have home field advantage in the postseason. The Bears blew a big opportunity to take a real stranglehold on the NFC North by losing in OT to the Giants on Sunday, but they still control their own destiny in the divisional race. This should be a fun one to watch, but I am taking the Rams to edge it.
Minnesota Vikings (+3 +100) at Seattle Seahawks (-3 -120)
If the season were to end today, these would be the two teams occupying the Wild Card spots in the NFL. There are still games to be played, though, so it goes without saying that this one is crucial to both teams. The Seattle Seahawks can’t go any higher than the #5 spot that they are currently occupying, as their division has already been clinched by the Rams. The Vikings still have a shot at a division title, but they really cannot afford to drop any more games. A close one here, but I think the Seahawks win at home.

The Ravens are 5-0 ats after rushing for 150+ yards. In game splayed in week 3 or later we are playing against winning teams in non divisional grass games that were road favorites last week and are playing a team that averages 7 or more rushing first downs per game. These teams have failed to cover 23 of 24 times and this plays against the Chiefs. The Ravens have shown they can move the ball with Lamar Jackson at the helm and they should give KC a big game here. Play on Baltimore.
