$800.00 -105 Take #101 Miami (-2.5) over Buffalo (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 22)
Miami is a hot team right now. I do not think that they will have trouble going to Buffalo and getting a win this Sunday. The Dolphins have revenge for losing to the Bills once already this year. But Miami is playing much better now. The favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and is 6-3 ATS in the last nine meetings. The road team has won four of the last seven meetings so home field advantage doesn't mean much to these division rivals. The Bills are going to be without their starting quarterback and without their best receiver. Miami has won three straight and are on a 5-0 ATS run. They will keep it going against a Buffalo team that is just waiting for the season to end.
$2000.00 -112 Take #116 Cincinnati (-7) D Juice down to -7 over Minnesota (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 22) (note I bet this game early at -7)
I like the Bengals to bounce back in this game. They were beaten badly by the Steelers last Sunday night. But the Bengals have been very good at home. They have blown out the last three teams they played in Cincinnati. They won by 14 points, 21 points and 40 points. The Bengals are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last six home games. And the key to this game is that the books have moved the spread all the way up to 8.0. They moved off the 7.0 and that is important to note.

I think that the Chiefs are going to win this one in a blowout! It should be a blowout from start to finish and I think that the Chiefs will be up by double-digits in the first half. I played the first half line bigger than the full game line because the Colts have been much better in the second half of games. And I don't want to take a chance of a back door cover from Andrew Luck. The Colts have been terrible in the first half of games. Before last week they had gone 37 straight possessions in the first half without a TD. They had been outscored 114-24 in the first half of their previous six games and had trailed at the half in five of them. They are slow starters and I think that they will have another slow start here. This is one of the worst first half teams in the NFL and they are facing a very good Chiefs team. Kansas City is tied with Denver for the AFC West lead. They still have a chance to win the division. But they need to win and get help. Kansas City jumped out to a 35-10 lead in the first half last week against Oakland and they jumped out to a 38-7 halftime lead against Washington the week before. I think that both of these teams keep playing like they have. The Chiefs will get off to a fast start and the Colts will struggle in the first half. Lay the points in both bets and I want a sweep!
