$2000.00 -105 Take #131 Kansas City (-3) over Washington (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 8)
I will go with the Chiefs in this one. Kansas City has lost three straight games. They need a win to turn this around. Two of the losses came against the Broncos. The Chiefs are unbeaten against NFC teams so far this year. Washington has lost four straight games and seven of 10. They have real problems on and off the field. The Redskins won't be able to move the ball easily against the tough Chiefs defense. Washington is 0-4 ATS in its last four games and I do not see them winning this one. Kansas City takes care of this one.
$800.00 -105Take #137 Oakland (+2.5) over N.Y. Jets (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 8)
I think that these two teams are pretty equal. My power rankings have the Raiders slightly ahead of the Jets. This spread is calling for money on the Jets. They are laying less than a field goal and are at home. But the Raiders had extra time to prepare since they played on Thursday. The Raiders are 3-1 ATS in their last four games and are 3-1 ATS in their last four road games. The jets have lost three straight. They are really struggling and I think that they should not be favored. Take the points and look for an outright win.
$2000.00 -105 Take #140 Cincinnati (-6) over Indianapolis (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 8)
I will take the home team in this game. The Bengals won a tough game last week in San Diego. Now they are back home. The Colts are off of a division win over Tennessee. They will struggle with the cold weather in Cincinnati. That will be a benefit for the Bengals defense. The home team has won four straight and seven of eight in this series. The Colts were blown out in their last time on the road and they are 0-2 in their last two road games against nondivisional opponents. Go with the home team here.
