$600.00 -110 Take First Half #323 Detroit (-3.5) over Arizona (4 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16)
This is a first half play. The Lions have given up the lead in several losses. They get off to a good start. But the defense can't hold up. I don't know if Arizona has the offense to make this a competitive game. Arizona was embarrassed last week in Seattle. They are ready to give up on the season. There will be changes in the offseason and this team is looking to just get this season over. Poor play and injuries have killed this team. Detroit has more talent then its record. They will get up early. We won't worry about another second half collapse.
$2000.00 -105 Take #321 Seattle (-5) over Buffalo (4 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16)
Seattle is playing great. They won 58-0 last week and they are playing as well as anyone. They are a hot team. Buffalo is not a very good team. They lost last week at home to St. Louis and this team has only won three times in the last 10 games overall. This team is just 4-9-1 ATS in its last 14 games against a team with a winning record. The Bills don't have enough defense to slow down Seattle's strong offense. I think Seattle will get the job done on the road here. They need this win to keep their position in the playoff race and I think they will get it easily and win this game by double digits.
$600.00 -105 Take #319 Carolina (+3) over San Diego (4 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16)
Carolina looks like they are playing their best football right now. They won at Philadelphia on Monday Night Football three weeks ago. Then they blew out Atlanta last week at home. Now this team goes on the road to face the Chargers. San Diego is off an upset of Pittsburgh last week. But they are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after a win. The Chargers are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and they have been better away from home Cam Newton is playing well. I don't think the Chargers will have an answer for him. This is a game that can go either way and I think that the points are going to hold up.
