NFL Lock: Chiefs +3
This Chiefs team is getting better! They fight and claw and scratch and come close to winning every week! Herm Edwards has done a very good job and the Chiefs would be smart to keep him as their head coach. Tyler Thigpen has proven he is an NFL quarterback. He is very competitive. And smart. He'll be throwing to Tony Gonzales and Dwayne Bowe often in this game. Cincinatti is just plain awful. They really struggle on offense. The Chiefs play with more desire. Herm Edwards would love to finish the season on a high note and keep his job. We are giving this line early because we are worried about it dropping to +2.5. The Chiefs +3 are a Lock!
NFL Lock: 49ers/Redskins Under 38
Buy the half point here and take this number to 38. (38 is a common number, 24-14, 28-10, etc) We don't expect the total to get anywhere close to that number, but it's always smart to play it safe. The Redskins defense is really playing well. Washington held Philly to just 3 points last week! Jason Taylor is back. DeAngelo Hall has been a great addition to this defense. The Skins will SUFFOCATE the Niners sorry offense on Sunday! The 49ers managed just 3 points against the Rams last week until the final minutes of the game. The Rams! The Niners offense prefers to throw short safe passes and run the football. Both teams have been eliminated. This game will be a defensive battle.
NFL Lock Tsr: Browns +18/Ravens -5
Cleveland is getting a boatload of points here versus a team who will rest most of its starters. The Browns would love to finish the season on a high note. Pittsburgh doesn't care about this game at all. Not only will the Steelers rest many starters, Pittsburgh will NOT blitz in this football game. This is important! Even if the Steelers play hard in the first half, it is GUARANTEED that the 2nd half will be dominated by the Browns. Take Cleveland here.
The Ravens need this game badly! They desperately want to make the playoffs. They'll play this game like it's the Superbowl. The Superbowl at home, in Baltimore, with their home fans going crazy. The inclement weather won't help Jacksonville's situation. The Jags will mail this game in and hope for a higher draft pick in next year's draft. Jacksonville will not put forth any effort in this game!! Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and the Baltimore D will blank the Jaguars. THE RAVENS WIN THIS GAME BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!
