SUPER BOWL LX B€$T BET: Seahawks/Patriots MEGA MAX 

The Angle: Leading up to the Super Bowl, you'll hear a lot about the New England Patriots soft strength of schedule, but you can only play who's in front of you, and they've played as well as you could possibly ask for. Both teams are very well balanced, but I really like how the Pats can stuff the run and as good as Sam Darnold has been, I guess I'm still not completely sold. 

We can also note that on the season, favorites between -6 and -4 are 28-20 straight up but only 17-31 (35%) against the spread!

The Bet: PATRIOTS (5%). 

Patriots/Broncos NFL BOOKIE BREAEER

The Angle: The Denver Broncos will be without starting QB Bo Nix, but while Jarrett Stidham is a big downgrade, the Broncos best unit is, and has always been, its defense. I think this line is an overreaction to that injury, and it's never easy to come to Empower Field at Mile High for intense playoff games. 

The Bet: BRONCOS (3%). 

Rams/Bears NFL TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle: I'm still not a believer of the 12-6 Bears, while I think the Los Angeles Rams might possibly be even better than their 13-5 record suggest. The Bears are giving up 365.1 yards per game (29th), and the Rams have been lighting up their opponent even in the losses. I like the favorite to run away with this one. 

The Bet: RAMS (4%). 

Texans/Steelers NFL BOOKIE BREAKER 

The Angle: The Houston Texans have one of the best defensive units in the NFL, but Steelers' veteran QB Aaron Rodgers is showing no signs of slowing down and today they'll get receiver DK Metcalf, and his team-best 850 receiving yards, back from a two-game suspension. The conditions will also favor the Steelers who are used to the cold, and the Texans could find it difficult to find their rhythm, 

The Bet: STEELERS (3%). 

Saints/Falcons NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Angle: Atlanta has won three straight games since it was eliminated from postseason contention and backup QB Kirk Cousins has shown he's still got it since replacing injured Michael Penix Jr as a starter.

Cousins threw for two touchdowns in a 24-10 Atlanta win over the Saints on Nov. 23, and while both teams are eliminated from postseason action, consider; The Bucs hold the tiebreaker over Carolina for the division for now. But if the Falcons win here and create a three-way tie, Panthers' superior record (3-1) in games involving those three teams would give them the division. I would not be surprised to see Atlanta rally just to sow chaos.

The Bet: FALCONS (3%). 

AFC Game of the Month SUPER MAX BET

The Angle: There are no playoff implications with this matchup, but the Bengals' offense has really come alive after a shutout loss to Baltimore, scoring 45 and 37 points respectively across their last two games. The Cleveland Browns boast one of the best defensive units in football - at home. Their number drop significantly on the road, and with Shedeur Sanders (who has two TD passes vs five INTs last three starts) vs. Joe Burrows in the QB matchup, I think this line should be even wider. 

The Bet: BENGALS (5%). 

AFC Game of the Month 5% SUPER MAX BET

The Angle: This looks like a good spot to back the Houston Texans to bounce back from a humiliating 23-21 loss as a two-touchdown home favorite over Vegas. The Los Angeles Chargers are in a potential flat spot after four consecutive wins, the last three as underdogs. Justin Herbert threw four INTs when he faced Houston in the AFC wild-card round last season. and the Texans defense looks even tougher this season. 

The Bet: TEXANS (5%).

Broncos/Chiefs XMAS DAY TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle: Sure, the Kansas City Chiefs are down to their third-string quarterback after season-ending injuries to Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew, but I'm not counting on their offense to keep this close, but rather their defense. The Chiefs are holding opponents to 19.6 points per game, and while some of that can be attributed to their offense controlling the ball a fair share of the game, I still think their defense is among the best in the NFL. 

The Bet: CHIEFS (4%). 

Bills/Browns NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Angle: I think this will be a low-scoring affair that should favor the underdog, and we can also note that since the start of the 2023 season, the Bills are 2-7 against the spread as double-digit favorites, 0-6 laying 10½ or more.  

Play on: BROWNS (3%). 

Bengals/Dolphins NFL BOOKIE BREAKER 

The Angle: The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off a shutout loss to Baltimore, which typically would make me more inclined to back them rather than going against them, but not as a road favorite. The Bengals are 2-5 straight up on the road, and lost their only game as a road favorite straight up, at Cleveland at that. The Miami Dolphins are fighting and had won four on the bounce before a setback at Pittsburgh last week. Now back home where they've won three in a row, I like the Phins as a dog. Sure, Miami is benching Tua Tagovailoa and intends to have rookie Quinn Ewers under center which is why the number is what it is, but fully expect them to fight for him. 

Play on: DOLPHINS (3%). 

Vikings/Giants NFL TOP PLAY of the Day 

The Angle: The Minnesota Vikings have had a disappointing season but they're coming into Wwek 16 playing their best football of the season coming off back-to-back wins, over Washington and Dallas. Rookie QB J.J. McCarthy has shown improvement in recent weeks, and Giants rookie QB will be put under pressure against a Minnesota defense that ranks top 5 for both passing yards allowed and completions. 

Play on: VIKINGS (4%). 

Eagles/Commanders Saturday NFL TOP PLAY

The Angle: This looks like a tough spot for the Philadelphia Eagles who will play on six days rest for a second week in a row and a 31-0 win over Vegas sets up a letdown spot against a pesky NFC East rival coming off a win over another division rival. Philly is clearly the better side, but anything can happen in these type of games. 

Play on: COMMANDERS (4%)

Falcons/Bucs TNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Atlanta Falcons suffered a brutal 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, their worst in the eight-year history of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but Seattle has a quality team this season.

The Falcons have a decent chance to bounce back against a Tampa Bay squad also in freefall, going 0-5 ATS over their last five and dropping a 24-20 decision as touchdown+ favorites to the Saints last week. I don't think the Bucs should be laying this kind of number at the moment. 

Play on: FALCONS (4%). 

5% NFL Game of the Week MAX BET

The Angle: The Washington Commanders are struggling, having lost seven straight after a respectable start to the season. The Minnesota Vikings have also seen difficulties, coming off a shutout loss to the Seahawks. However, the return of rookie QB J.J. McCarthy from injury is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the Vikings, and realistically, their offense is unlikely to worsen from here and the defense is still good, and certainly the best unit on the field in this contest.

Play on: VIKINGS (5%). 

Cowboys/Lions TNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Dallas Cowboys have gained massive momentum with back-to-back wins over the previous season's Super Bowl participants. Now facing the Detroit Lions, a team with an inconsistent record of trading wins and losses over their last eight games, Dallas has every chance to pull off another upset. The Cowboys’ offense, led by Dak Prescott, is potent enough to outscore nearly any opponent, and with Detroit’s secondary showing vulnerabilities, Dallas should not be intimidated.

Play on: COWBOYS (3%). 

Giants/Patriots MNF TOP PLAY 

The angle: The New York Giants are coming off three consecutive ATS covers. However, just like you may encounter trap games after big wins and upsets, it’s also mentally and physically taxing to continue exceeding expectations as an underdog, perhaps even more so if not even improving in the win column. Considering that the New England Patriots, despite winning nine in a row, are only 1-3 against the spread in their last four games, I expect the Pats to snap out of their “funk” and dominate the Giants as big favorites here on prime time.

Play on: PATRIOTS (4%). 

Packers/Lions Thxgiving Day TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Detroit Lions gave up 27 points in a win over the Giants last week, and their defensive weaknesses have been exposed multiple times in recent weeks. The Green Bay Packers come into Detroit off two strong offensive performances and boast the second-fewest points allowed among NFC teams this season. Detroit is accustomed to playing on Thanksgiving Day but snapped a seven-game losing streak last year. It looks like this Thanksgiving, the Lions will have little to be thankful for again. 

Play on: PACKERS (4%). 

Panthers/49ers MNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The 49ers, though 6-1 straight up and 5-2 against the spread as favorites, are being asked to cover their biggest spread of the season in this game They have traded ATS wins and losses over the last eight games, and coming off a dominant 41-22 win at Arizona, they might find it tougher than expected to shake off this pesky and resilient Carolina Panthers team.

Play on: PANTHERS (4%). 

Bucs/Rams SNF BOOKIE BREAKER

The Angle: The Los Angeles Rams own the NFC’s second-best scoring defense allowing just 17.2 points per game and a turnover margin of +10. The Rams have won six of their last seven games and their two losses on the season came against Philly and san Francisco. Tampa Bay’s recent losses and key injuries on both offense and defense make it unlikely the Bucs can keep up with the dominant Rams at home. 

Play on: RAMS (3%). 

Vikings/Packers NFL SIDE

The Angle: The Minnesota Vikings have scored more than 20 points in just onf of their last four games, and quarterback J.J. McCarthy has struggled since returning from injury with just four TDs against five interceptions, and six vs eight on the season.

Green Bay had been held to a total of 20 points across two games before scoring 27 on the Giants last week.

Well, the Vikes' defense presents a tough challenge, and I like the under and the underdog in this matchup as a low-scoring game gives the dog an additional edge. 

Play on: VIKINGS (3%). 

5% Lions/Eagles SNF Game of the Week MAX BET

The Angle: The Detroit Lions have had some inconsitent results in recent weeks and they're 1-2 ATS as underdogs on the season while the Eagles are 5-3 ATS as favorites, perfect 2-0 laying a field goal or less. 

Play on: EAGLES (5%). 

Ravens/Browns Side

The Angle: The Cleveland Browns will be happy to play at home again after giving up 32 and 27 points in back-to-back road losses at New England and NY Jets. For whatever reason, their defense is so much stronger at home and I like them to keep this divisional matchup close and low-scoring. 

Play on: BROWNS (3%). 

AFC North Game of the Year MEGA MAX BET

The Angle: The Cincinnati Bengals are having a tough year, but don't expect any sympathy from the Steelers who are seeking revenge for a 33-31 loss at Cincinnati back in October. Add a bounce back angle from a 25-10 loss at LA Chargers last week and I think we have a strong case for backing the Steelers. 

Play on: STEELERS (5%). 

Lions/Commanders NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Angle: The Washington Commanders will be without quarterback Jayden Daniels, but Marcus Mariota is a very capable backup and his dual-threat ability could be useful against a Detroit team that gave up 142 rushing yards in last week's loss to Minnesota. The line seems like an overcorrection to Washington’s three consecutive blowout losses, and backing the Commanders look like solid value. 

Play on: COMMANDERS (3%). 

Ravens/Vikes NFL TOP PLAY

The Angle: This looks like a good spot to fade the Minnesota Viking after their upset win over NFC North rivals Detroit last week. Wins like that cost both physically and emotionally, and the Ravens have had extra time to rest and prepare following a Thursday night route of the Dolphins in Miami. 

Play on: RAVENS (4%). 

Falcons/Colts NFL Non-Conf Game of the Month SUPER MAX

The Angle: This looks like a great spot to back the Indianapolis Colts to bounce back from a 27-20 loss at Pittsburgh. The Colts boast the leader in passing yards Daniel Jones (2,404) and the league's leader in rushing yards Jonathan Taylor (895), and while the Falcons have been good against the pass, they're allowing 124 rushing yards per game (23rd). The Colts have too many ways of hurting their opponents, and I think the favorite will run away with this one. 

Play on: COLTS (5%). 

Raiders/Broncos 4% TNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Raiders, coming off a heartbreaking 30-29 OT loss to Jacksonville due to a failed two-point conversion, are set to bounce back and cover the inflated spread against Denver. The Broncos appear ripe for a letdown after six consecutive wins and have failed to cover the spread the last two times they were favored by a touchdown or more. I expect Denver to win but not cover, making the Raiders the value play here.

Play on: RAIDERS (4%). 

Cardinals/Cowboys MNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Dallas Cowboys can't stop anyone and although the Cardinals are 2-5, the five defeats were by a total of 13 points. This should, at worst, be another close loss, but don't be surprised if Arizona and Jacoby Brissett pulls off an upset outright. Also, Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Kyler Murray could "have a role" in the contest, which would be huge considering his career numbers against Dallas. 

Play on. CARDINALS (4%). 

Vikings/Lions NFC North BOOKIE BREAKER

The Angle: The Minnesota Vikings are coming off back-to-back losses, including their worst defeat of the season, making this a prime spot for a bounce back. After several poor offensive outings, expect J.J. McCarthy to spark the offense, especially facing NFC North rivals Detroit, which always adds extra intensity.

The Lions are riding a 5-1 ATS run, but I believe the market is overestimating them with this line. 

Play on: VIKINGS (3%). 

Falcons/Patriots NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Angle: I fully expect the Falcons to bounce back after getting embarrassed as a touchdown home favorite over Miami last week.

After back-to-back losses, the Falcons are getting no love from the market while the Patriots, riding a five-game winning streak SU and ATS are getting a lot of hype. Maybe they'll win this one outright too, but this is too many points. 

Play on: FALCONS (3%). 

Chargers/Titans NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Angle: The Tennessee Titans are a mess and have scored more than 14 points in just one of their last five games, in an upset win at Arizona.

Against one of the best defenses in the NFL, I don't see the NFL's worst offense doing much damage. The Chargers have scored 29, 24 and 37 points over their last three games and I don't see the Titans getting many stops. 

Play on: CHARGERS (3%). 

5% NFL Game of the Week MAX BET

The Angle: Despite the Colts ranking #1 in points scored and total offense, this game won’t be an easy win on the road. Pittsburgh’s defense has given up 33 and 35 points in their last two games, but they’ve been stronger against the run than the pass and should be able to contain Jonathan Taylor.

While the Colts are getting a lot of hype, the Steelers seem to be overlooked after recent losses to Cincinnati and Green Bay. I believe they have a solid shot at stealing this one outright, but let's take the points as an extra insurance policy. 

Play on: STEELERS (5%)

Cowboys/Broncos TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Dallas Cowboys' offense is clicking with 37+ points scored in three of their past four games. The one exception? A 30-27 loss at Carolina, so still a very respectable output. The Broncos just gave up 32 points to Giants a rookie QB Jaxson Dart, so one can only imagine the damage Dak Prescott and his weapons will make. 

In addition to the Cowboys getting the cover, I also like the over as they can't rely on their defense to get them there. 

4% PLAY ON THE COWBOYS. 

NFC South Game of the Year MEGA MAX BET

The Angle: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are off to a hot start, but four of their five wins were decided by a field goal or less.

The New Orleans Saints are just 1-6, and while only a few losses were close, I think they can keep this competitive. The Bucs confidence must've taken a hit in last week's 24-9 Monday night loss to the Lions, and now a banged up Bucs team missing a ton of starters must play on a short week. 

5% PLAY ON THE SAINTS. 

5% Vikings/Chargers TNF Game of the Week MAX BET

The Angle: The Minnesota Vikings have traded wins and losses, and after a 28-22 loss to the Eagles after coming off their bye, I like them to bring the pain here against a Chargers team playing for an eighth consecutive weeks, and the ailing Bolts have dropped three of their last four. 

5% PLAY ON THE VIKINGS. 

4% Bucs/Lions MNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: This looks like a prime spot to fade a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that’s been overachieving with a ton of close wins and now faces the wrath of a Detroit Lions squad eager to bounce back from a loss to Kansas City. Detroit also dropped their season opener 27-13 at Green Bay but bounced back with a dominant 52-21 home win over Chicago in Week 2. Sure, Detroit’s secondary is depleted, but Baker Mayfield won’t have all his weapons available either, and I expect regression is coming for Mayfield.

4% LIONS

Giants/Broncos Side

The Angle: This looks like a tough spot for the Denver Broncos who return home from a tight 13-11 win over the Jets in London. They've scored just 34 points combined over their last two games, and their last four matchups have all stayed under the total.

The New York Giants are starting to find their rhythm with two wins in three games.

Given Denver's scoring struggles and the low game total, I like the Giants to cover the spread and the under on total points.

This game looks like a defensive battle with limited scoring upside for both teams

3% PLAY ON THE GIANTS. 

Saints/Bears Side

The Angle: This looks like a good spot to fade the Chicago Bears after three straight wins as underdogs, including a thrilling Monday night victory at Washington. The Bears have also had back-to-back road games, which can take a toll. The New Orleans Saints, though 1-5 straight up and 2-4 ATS, could easily be 3-3 given how close some games have been.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bears, like the betting market, underestimate the Saints in this game, and I also like the under.

NFC Game of the Month SUPER MAX BET

The Angle: The Philadelphia Eagles are rattled, coming off consecutive losses after starting the season 4-0. This week presents another tough test against a Minnesota team coming off its bye after back-to-back games in Dublin and London, and I don't think the visitors will be able to match the home team's energy levels. As of the release of this pick it's unclear whether we'll see J.J. McCarthy or former Eagle Carson Wentz under center for the Vikes, but I see positive angles for each of them.

Steelers/Bengals 4% TNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Cincinnati Bengals are 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings with the Steelers, but closed all but two of those games as the favorite and the cover came as underdog. Due to the Bengals' injury situation with Joe Burrow out, the Steelers are the favorite in this matchup, but the Bengals are still a strong team and will look to start a three-game homestand with a win. 

4% PLAY ON THE BENGALS. 

5% NFL Interconf Game of the Month SUPER MAX

The Angle: Everyone (77% of tickets) expects the Bills to bounce back from a loss to the Patriots, and while I'm also all about finding great rebound spots, this line looks way inflated because of it. The Atlanta Falcons have had plenty of time to prepare coming off their bye, and I think they'll want to show up here in their first "Monday Night Football" home game in seven years.

Browns/Steelers NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

5% NFC East Game of the Year MEGA MAX BET

The Trend(s): Over the past three seasons, the Eagles have gone 2-8-1 ATS when laying a touchdown or more. The Giants are coming off a 26-14 loss at New Orleans but have a 2-3 ATS record this season, alternating covers and misses. I expect the Giants to bounce back with a cover in this game against Philadelphia, a team coming off its first loss but still, in my opinion, overrated by the betting market.

5% PLAY ON THE GIANTS. 

Bucs/Seahawks BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Trend(s): The Bucs are 5-1 ATS in their last six games against Seattle, while the Seahawks are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games. Although the Bucs’ injury report isn’t pretty, the Seahawks’ 3-0 run straight up and against the spread is likely inflating the line.

Ravens/Chiefs TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Kansas City Chiefs this season represent a weaker version of the dominant teams seen in recent years, evidenced by their 1-2 start, including a hard-fought win at the New York Giants. The market continues to show respect for the Chiefs despite these signs of decline.

The Baltimore Ravens, also 1-2 after losses to Buffalo and Detroit, look to bounce back from a disappointing Monday night home loss to the Lions. This creates a scenario where the Ravens, motivated and looking to reassert themselves, could make a statement against the struggling Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Raiders also opened the season with a win, a 20-13 victory over New England, but are not getting the same amount of praise as the Chargers. Raiders coach Pete Carroll is a mastermind and I think he'll have a plan to stop Justin Herbert who's coming off a big game.

Bills/Jets NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Angle: Overreaction to Week 1 results is giving us value on the home underdog.

Buffalo is coming off a primetime comeback win but it's defense showed clear vulnerabilities against Baltimore. This defensive inconsistency combined with the Jets’ better-than-expected offense supports betting value on the underdog in this divisional clash. Early-season jitters for Buffalo and historical trends add to the case for the underdog covering the spread.

Rams/Titans NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Angle: Too many points to lay against a strong Titans defense, giving us value on the home underdog. 

The Titans defense is tough to score against, and injuries on both sides add uncertainty. The Titans have a solid history of covering as home underdogs, making this a valuable bet in what is expected to be a low-scoring, physical game.

Patriots/Dolphins NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

Key Trend: Last season, Thursday night home favorites went 8-4-1 ATS.

Giants/Commanders NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Giants bring a solid defense to this game and veteran quarterback Russell Wilson has the potential to reinvent himself in New York, providing a boost to the Giants' offense.

Despite an impressive rookie season from Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, regression in his sophomore year is a possibility, and perhaps even likely, which could hamper Washington's offensive output.

Additionally, the Commanders were 12-7-1 against the spread last season, while the Giants struggled at 5-12 ATS. This discrepancy suggests there could be value backing the Giants as the previously underperforming team looks to bounce back.

TGIF NFL MAX BET: KC/LAC AFC Game of the Week 

The Kansas City Chiefs are perennial Lombardi Trophy favorites, but the LA Chargers can give them a serious test in the season opener. The Chargers finished 12-5-0 against the spread last year, and their defense, led by newly bolstered talent and solid coaching continuity under Jesse Minter, is among the best in the league, ranking top 3 in scoring defense last season. Offensively, Justin Herbert has a breakout potential year with expanded weapons after a promising 2024. Meanwhile, Kansas City faces some offensive line uncertainties with key departures. 

This matchup in Brazil adds a neutral-site dynamic that could level the playing field even more. The intro sets up well for backing the Chargers ATS.

While it's too late for a playoff push, the 4-10 Jets, led by a resurgent Aaron Rodgers, seem determined to finish strong, with Rodgers heating up over the last two weeks. The Los Angeles Rams, on the other hand, find themselves in a tough spot, traveling cross-country for an outdoor December east coast game after three straight wins, most recently a gritty 12-6 victory over the Niners. This feels like a prime letdown spot for the Rams.

4% STEELERS/RAVENS SAT NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to bounce back from a 27-13 loss in Philly as they head to Baltimore this Saturday. Matchups between these fierce rivals are often tightly contested, and their last meeting in November was no exception, with Pittsburgh eking out an 18-16 win at home. While the Ravens may seek revenge, history suggests it won’t come easy—Pittsburgh has covered the spread in six of the last seven meetings. Expect another hard-fought battle.

PACKERS/SEAHAWKS SNF TOP PLAY

This looks like a great spot to fade the Green Bay Packers against a red-hot Seattle team that's quietly been one of the league's best in recent weeks. The Seahawks have won four straight, all as underdogs, while Green Bay is dealing with key injuries on the defensive side of the ball.

STEELERS/EAGLES NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

Mike Tomlin thrives as an underdog, and Pittsburgh has cashed in every time this season, winning all five games outright when getting points. This rivalry matchup should be a close one, and while the Steelers have shown vulnerability against the pass, Philly’s offense leans more on the ground game, which plays into Pittsburgh’s strengths.

5% WAS/NO NFC GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET

The Washington Commanders ended a three-game losing streak with a dominant 42-19 win over the Tennessee Titans. They're almost back to full strength again, I think they're in for another blowout win here against a Saints team that struggled against the Giants in their last game.

While Washington's QB Jayden Daniels is one of the top candidates for Rookie of the Year, Saints' starter Derek Carr is sidelined due to a concussion and we're likely to see Jake Haener under center for the home team. With a big edge on both sides of the ball, I trust Washington to get the job done.

5% MAX BET ALERT - RAMS/NINERS NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

The San Francisco 49ers showed new life in a 38-13 win over the Bears last week, but their already injury-ridden squad has picked up even more injuries since then. The Los Angeles Rams are fairly healthy and peaking at the right time, coming off wins over New Orleans and Buffalo.

4% BENGALS/COWBOYS MNF TOP PLAY

The Dallas Cowboys are riding high after back-to-back divisional victories over Washington and the Giants, and now they face a Cincinnati team that seems to be playing out the string at 4-8 after three straight losses. Injuries are a factor for both squads, but the Cowboys are on the mend, and their momentum makes it questionable whether they should even be underdogs in this spot.

4% PLAY ON THE COWBOYS. 

4% SNF CHARGERS/CHIEFS TOP PLAY

The Kansas City Chiefs may boast an impressive 11-1 record, but their 5-7 ATS mark tells a different story, with six straight failed covers.

While an overcorrection by the bookmakers seems inevitable, this Sunday night divisional clash with the 8-4 SU and ATS LA Chargers doesn’t feel the spot.

Divisional games are always unpredictable, and with the Chiefs’ trend of tight finishes, this one feels primed to be decided by a late field goal.

5% BEARS/NINERS MAX BET ALERT - NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

This looks like a great spot to back the Chicago Bears, who aim to make a statement after parting ways with head coach Matt Eberflus, who had seemingly lost the locker room long ago. Teams often rally after a coaching change, eager to prove the problem wasn’t the players.

Facing a San Francisco 49ers squad whose season has been derailed by injuries and now appears to lack direction, the Bears have a golden opportunity to turn the page with a strong performance.

4% PACKERS/LIONS NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Detroit Lions have devoured almost anything in their way lately, but I expect their division rivals to give them all they can handle as the Green Bay Packers roll into Ford Field for this Thursday night showdown.

Detroit’s defense is dealing with key injuries, and the Packers are hitting their stride, coming off dominant wins over San Francisco and Miami. This one should be closer than the line suggests.

BUCS/PANTHERS NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Carolina Panthers have been heating up with three straight ATS covers and they had recorded back-to-back wins SU prior to last week's 30-27 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. This week, they'll face a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that I think is massively overvalued in this NFC South rivalry matchup. Carolina QB Bryce Young is coming off arguably the best game of his career and the Bucs have allowed 255.5 passing yards per game (29th).

RAMS/SAINTS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The 4-7 New Orleans Saints have shown renewed energy under interim head coach Darren Rizzi, winning both games since the transition and now coming off their bye. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams are reeling from a 37-20 home loss to the Eagles, marking another shaky defensive performance.

I like the rejuvenated, healthier, and well-rested Saints to cover as short home underdogs.

5% HOU/JAX AFC GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off a mini-bye and had covered the spread in four consecutive games before a 52-6 loss at Detroit on Nov 17.

Trevor Lawrence will make his first start since Nov 3, and I expect them to bounce back with a solid outing from that humiliating loss.

The Houston Texans are in a downward spiral, having lost three of four games and only beating the shorthanded Cowboys.

4% STEELERS/BENGALS NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

I've been waiting for the Cincinnati Bengals to turn things around, but instead, they're trending downward with three losses in their last four games. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking like the real deal. Their defense has always been solid, and now Russell Wilson is heating up, creating opportunities for their strong running game to shine.

 5% MAX BET ALERT - MIA/GB NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

The Miami Dolphins are on a three-game winning streak, but those wins came in favorable conditions—two at home and one in LA. Historically, Tua Tagovailoa has struggled in cold weather, and the conditions at Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving Eve won't do him any favors. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers are one of the hottest teams in the league and well-equipped to thrive in the chilly Wisconsin weather.

BEARS/LIONS NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Detroit Lions have been dominant all season, while the Chicago Bears are heading in the wrong direction with five straight losses. Divisional matchups can be tricky, but favorites often thrive on Thanksgiving, and this is a revenge spot for Detroit after dropping their last meeting with Chicago on December 10 last year.

5% EAGLES/RAMS SNF MAX BET - NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

The Philadelphia Eagles are riding a six-game winning streak while the LA Chargers have won four of their last five, but I think the Eagles have a big edge over their opponent at SoFi Stadium Sunday night. The Rams have struggled against the run all season and the Eagles are averaging an NFL-best 181.3 rushing yards per game and 5.0 yards per carry (3rd). I expect the Eagles to run away with this one, no pun intended.

NINERS/PACKERS NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The 5-5 San Francisco 49ers have faced their fair share of struggles this season, and with quarterback Brock Purdy and defensive end Nick Bosa unavailable, they’ll need to dig deep.

Still, even when banged up this team still boasts plenty of talent and should rise to the occasion to challenge the Packers.

Green Bay is 3-1 SU in its last four games but failed to cover the spread in any of those outings, with their wins decided by a combined six points. I expect another tightly contested game here.

4% STEELERS/BROWNS NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

Pittsburgh might be the better team, but AFC North matchups rarely follow the script. The Browns are in a prime bounce-back spot after blowout losses to the Chargers and Saints, while the Steelers could be poised for a letdown after five straight wins SU and ATS, including last week’s 18-16 upset over Baltimore. This looks like the perfect opportunity to side with the underdog.

4% PLAY ON THE BROWNS. 

BENGALS/CHARGERS SNF TOP PLAY

This one is easy; the LA Chargers are worse than their 6-3 record, while the Cincinnati Bengals are better than their 4-6 record.

The Chargers have benefited from a soft schedule, with wins over teams like Las Vegas, Carolina, Cleveland, and Tennessee.

Meanwhile, the Bengals have faced a much tougher slate, including Kansas City, Washington, Philadelphia, and Baltimore twice.

These teams will head in opposite directions, and I believe this game is completely mispriced due to the misleading records.

VIKINGS/TITANS NFL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Tennessee Titans have been one of the NFL's biggest disappointments this season, entering this matchup with a dismal 1-8 ATS record. Their defense has been an enigma, ranking 2nd in yards allowed per game while surrendering 26.7 points per contest (29th). At 2-7, their playoff hopes are nonexistent.

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings are still firmly in the hunt, just one game behind the NFC North-leading Lions. After a lackluster 12-7 victory over Jacksonville last week—a game without a single touchdown, the Vikings are primed for a bounce-back outing. I expect Minnesota to come out strong and reassert themselves in the division race.

5% BAL/PIT AFC GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET

The Pittsburgh Steelers have won seven of the last eight meetings straight up and covered the spread in six of those games. They won five as underdogs and although the Ravens are having a great season, so is Pittsburgh and I'm more than happy to take a field goal on the Steelers. The Ravens have a lot of success running the football, but here they'll face a defense allowing just 3.8 yards per rush attempt.

Mike Tomlin thrives as an underdog, and I would not be surprised if they win outright again.

5% MAX BET ALERT - NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

Their records might suggest only a slight talent gap between the 7-3 Washington Commanders and the 7-2 Philadelphia Eagles, but I expect Philly to take this one comfortably.

Commanders' rookie QB, No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels, has had an impressive season, but facing one of the league’s toughest defenses on a short week will be a true test.

Meanwhile, the Eagles' ground game should thrive against a Washington defense allowing 142.7 rushing yards per game (24th) and 4.9 yards per rush attempt (29th).

5% ATL/NO NFL GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET

This looks like a good spot to back the New Orleans Saints to deliver a strong performance against a divisional rival. They’re overdue for a big effort after seven straight losses, including a humiliating one as a 7-point favorite at Carolina last week.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons could be in a letdown spot after winning five of their last six games SU and ATS.

The Cincinnati Bengals kept it within a field goal when they hosted the Baltimore Ravens on Oct 6, and that was before they started to find their rhythm.

The Bengals have won three of four SU and ATS since the 41-38 defeat, and while the Ravens have been balling as well, I can't help but feel that they are asked to cover too big of a number here against their division rival.

5% DET/GB NFC GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET

This looks like a great spot to fade the Detroit Lions following their 52-14 throttling of the Tennessee Titans.

They'll face a Green Bay Packers team that has won four on the bounce but came up just short against the spread in their last two games. For this game, quarterback Jordan Love is expected to play despite being listed as questionable due to a groin injury.

I think this is a potential letdown spot for the Lions while the Packers are due for a big win.

4% GIANTS/STEELERS NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The New York Giants have scored a total of just 10 points through back-to-back home losses, and now they head on the road to face one of the sturdiest defenses in the league. Pittsburgh has been holding opponents to 14.4 points per game (2nd), and Russell Wilson threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns on 16-of-29 passing and added a rushing score in his season debut in last week's 37-15 win over the Jets. 

I would typically look for a reason to be contrarian and back the struggling team, but I can only look to the Steelers in this matchup.

5% DAL/CLE NFC GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

This looks like a fantastic spot to back the Dallas Cowboys to bounce back from being humiliated by the Lions. They've had two full weeks to rest and recover, mentally and physically, from the 47-9 thrashing, and I think they'll bring it big time here against a banged-up San Francisco 49ers team that has underperformed all season. 

5% PLAY ON THE COWBOYS. 

5% NFL GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET

The Cincinnati Bengals opened the season with three losses, but they have since won three of their last four, and won and covered the spread as favorites. The lone loss during this four-game stretch came as a home underdog to the Baltimore Ravens.

The Eagles are 4-2 on the season, but last week's 28-3 rout of the Giants I woulld not say they've looked impressive at all.

The Bengals need a win to get back to .500, and they've looked much better on both sides of the ball in recent weeks, especially on defense.

The Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams have had very different starts to the season as the Vikes are coming into the week 5-1 SU and ATS, while the Rams are just 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS.

The Rams are expected to get Cooper Kupp back from injury though, and the Vikes might be going downill from here following a heartbreaking loss to the Lions.

RAVENS/BUCS NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a good spot to fade the Baltimore Ravens after a 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS streak. If there's one team in the NFL that can match their offensive output, it's the Bucs, who have averaged 38 points per game over their last three outings. While the Bucs have been less consistent defensively compared to Baltimore, that's reflected in the home team catching a field goal here.

This looks like a great spot to back the Seattle Seahawks who are undervalued by the betting market following an 0-3 stretch, both SU and ATS.
