NFL Football Picks

The Titans are just 3-5 on the season, but keep in mind that four of the losses are by one score. The Bucs pass D got shredded last week by a rookie QB. Can rookie QB Will Levis do the same? Read on to see what Jay thinks is the best bet.

After a 0-2 start and some uneven play have righted the ship winning four straight. They’ll host a better than predicted Houston team, who are off a barn-burning 39-37 victory over the Bucs last week. Who gets the money on Sunday? Get our prognosticator’s analysis and pick.

Week 10 TNF features a pair of California teams gaining momentum. Seeing the Bolts stomp the Pack was somewhat mind-boggling and the Raiders beating up a semi-hot Lions team was also against public consensus. This game will likely come down to whether or not Philip Rivers can complete long passes vs. a weak Oakland secondary. You will also need to check the status of Oak RB Josh Jacobs before betting on this one!

The Pokes bring a five game winning streak vs. the G-Men and there’s no indication that will get any better as the NYG have struggled mightily vs. stiff competition as evidenced by them playing four teams so far this year that should make the playoffs – Dallas, New England, Buffalo and Minnesota, in which they didn’t cover the spread against any of those teams and lost by an average of 16 points.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick is a master of taking away the other team’s strength. We fully expect his gameplan to be to stop Lamar Jackson’s run game, forcing him to pass more vs. New England’s stingy secondary. With the Pats being 8-0 and 6-2 ATS, this -3.5 line looks like an easy bet-win-cover.

In what I believe is the Best Bet of Week 9 NFL, the Lions head to the Black Hole to take on the Raiders as a short +2 underdog. The Lions are one of the most improved teams in the NFL this season, despite their .500 record.

The Bucs stake claim to the “mind boggling point spread of the week” as they’re getting +6.5 vs. a Seattle team that just about got backdoored last Sunday and then had to fly coast to coast back home. This is way too many points in a game where Tampa Bay actually matches up very well with the Seahawks of Seattle.

One would think the loss of Joe Flacco would give the Broncos a boost, but it doesn’t quite work that way. Timing will be an issue as will lack of experience Sunday, as Brandon Allen makes his first NFL start and sees the field for the first time in four years. Allen had 3 interceptions and no passing touchdowns in 69 pre-season attempts.

The Bears passing game sucks and the Eagles run game plays right into the strength of Chicago. The betting value in this contest is with the over/under, not the point spread. Check out Jay’s take here!

The Chargers have allowed a respectable 20 points per game, but their last four opponents the Dolphins, Broncos, Titans and Bears are all in the bottom of the league in many offensive metrics. Green Bay is healthy on defense and should be able to contain a Charger team that has surpassed 20 points just once since their opener.
