Pittsburgh has lost 4 consecutive games and last week's home loss to the Raiders should have the Steelers not taking this game for granted. Cleveland covered for me as a Strong Opinion last week with ...more

Over/Under Total: 44.0
10:00 AM Pacific Time Sunday, Dec-13
I used Denver as a Best Bet two weeks ago against the Giants and as a Strong Opinion last week over the Chiefs, but this week the Broncos apply to a negative 34-82-3 ATS road letdown situation if they ...more
Buffalo 21 KANSAS CITY (pick) 19
Over/Under Total: 37.5
10:00 AM Pacific Time Sunday, Dec-13
Buffalo has been better offensively under their new coach and the Bills are solid defensively, so they should be able to get the win against a Chiefs team that is among the league's worst on both side ...more

Over/Under Total: 37.0

Over/Under Total: 50.5
10:00 AM Pacific Time Sunday, Dec-13
The Saints received a scare last week at Washington and survived due to a missed 23 yard field goal by the Redskins. That close call should produce a more focused effort this week against a division r ...more

Over/Under Total: 41.0
10:00 AM Pacific Time Sunday, Dec-13
The Packers are a good team, but they've benefited from a ridiculous +18 in turnover margin (+1.5 per game), which is an average that they are not likely to maintain going forward. It would seem like ...more

Over/Under Total: 41.5
01:05 PM Pacific Time Sunday, Dec-13
My math model favors Tennessee by 15 1/2 points with Kyle Boller at quarterback for the Rams. Titans' quarterback Vince Young has had a breakout season since taking over as the starter after an 0-6 st ...more
