Nichols to start for Eskimos in Western Semi-Final
Justin Hartling

The Edmonton Eskimos will be turning to backup Matt Nichols when they host the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Western Semi-Final Sunday. Starter Mike Reilly practiced briefly this week, but did not throw.

Nichols appeared in seven games this season throwing four touchdowns and five interceptions. Reilly was the starter in everyone of the Eskimos 12 wins this season.

11/16: Sunday NFL Free Pick: Play Raiders/Chargers over the total. The weather in San Diego is great and a bad Oakland defense is in town. The over is 5-2 in the Raiders last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. They can't run and will have to throw all day long after they fall behind 10-0 or so. San Diego is hungry for a win and has a fine QB and passing attack. San Diego is 4-1 over after a defeat and the over is 18-7-2 in the Chargers last 27 games after accumulating less than 250 total yards in their previous game.

Play the Raiders/Chargers over the total.

Free Sunday NFL Play from Mr. Vegas: 11/16:

Play Seattle/KC Chiefs under the total.

Cool, windy weather in KC and the under is 7-2 in the Seahawks last 9 vs. a team with a winning record. Both teams are run-oriented with bone crushing defenses, which chews up the clock and keeps the score down. The under is 20-7 in the Chiefs last 27 home games, 19-7 under after a victory and the under is 17-7-1 in Chiefs last 25 vs. a team with a winning record.

Comp NBA Pick for Sunday, November 16, 2014: 1:05 PM ET

(701) DENVER NUGGETS VS (702) NEW YORK KNICKS

Take: (701) DENVER NUGGETS

Reason: Your Bonus Play for Sunday, November 16, 2014 is in the NBA contest between the Denver Nuggets and NY Knicks. Two teams here that have both struggled out of the gate. The Nuggets are just 2-6 S/U and ATS thus far, though they are coming off a nice win at Indiana, 108-87. It was the first win and cover for the Nuggets since opening night back on October 29th. Both of these teams are terrible defensively, with Denver rating a 113.6 in defensive efficiency (league average is 106.9). The one thing Denver has over NY here is in pace (possessions per 48 minutes) where they are almost 10 more per game than the Knicks. New York is 3-7 S/U and 2-8 ATS on the year and has yet to cover at home (0-6 ATS). The Knicks have failed to cover in each of their last five games and have scored over 100 points just twice in the last 10 games. Part of that is their pace, which is well below the league average with just a 87.2 rating. Knicks have the better talent, but they sure aren't playing like it. I'll take a team that is getting nearly 10 more attempts per game and receiving a few points. Your Bonus Play for Sunday is on the Denver Nuggets.

Houston Texans vs. Cleveland Browns

Free Pick on Houston Texans +

Even though the Browns are coming off that big win over the Bengals, I’m still not sold on Cleveland being one of the top teams in the AFC. The Browns have feasted on an easy schedule on their way to a 6-3 record. Their four wins outside the division have come against the Saints, Titans, Raiders and Buccaneers. Tennessee, Oakland and Tampa Bay are three of the worst teams in the league and the Saints aren’t the same caliber a team as what everyone expected. Adding to that is all 4 wins came by 10-points or less and don’t forget they handed the Jaguars their only win of the season in a 6-24 loss at Jacksonville.

While the Texans haven’t been a whole lot better in terms of quality wins, I think the value is with Houston catching 3.5-points in a matchup of two even teams. The Texans have had more than enough time to prepare for this game, as they come in off their bye. While Cleveland also has a few extra days of rest due to playing Cincinnati on Thursday Night Football, that was a big win for the Browns and it’s going to be hard for them to match that intensity this week.

There could be some concern here with Houston making a quarterback change from veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick to the unproven Ryan Mallett, but I have a lot of trust in Bill O’Brien and his ability to get the best out of any quarterback he comes across. O’Brien traded for Mallett and I believe he’s going to surprise a lot of people with how well he performs in his first start. It’s also worth noting that Mallett is taking over an offense that is centered around running back Arian Foster and has some talent at wide receiver. Cleveland has the 28th ranked run defense in the league (134.2 ypg), so this isn’t going to be a game where Mallet is asked to carry the load offensively.

Cleveland is just 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games versus a team with a losing record and just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU win by more than 14 points. Keep in mind they followed up that impressive 31-10 win over the Steelers earlier this season with that ugly loss to the Jaguars.

There’s a nice system in play. Road teams with a line of +3 to -3 who come in having lost 4 out of their last 5 games are 41-16 ATS in weeks 10 through 13 since 1983. That's a 72% system in favor of the Texans. Take Houston!

Houston Texans vs. Cleveland Browns

Bonus Play Cleveland Browns

Congrats to all who got on board. This week I think the surprising Cleveland Browns keep things rolling and find a way to get the job done at the end of the afternoon. Cleveland is in first place in the NFC North after destroying Cincinnati last Thursday. The Browns are averaging 23.2 PPG and 354 yards, QB Brian Hoyer is leading the charge, completing 58.5 percent of his passes with ten TD’s and four INT’s. Cleveland is getting the job done with tough defensive play though, the unit ranks sixth in the league in giving up just 19.1 PPG and they also have a plus nine turnover ratio. Houston looks a lot better after last season’s debacle, but there is still room for improvement obviously, it averages 22.9 PPG. Now the Texans turn to QB Ryan Mallett who has thrown four passes for his entire NFL career. Note that RB Arian Foster left last week’s game with an injury; Foster is expected to play today, but I can’t see him being at 100%. Defensively Houston ranks 11th in the league in giving up 21.9 PPG. Note though, already 1-4 ATS this year as an underdog, Houston is just 6-12 ATS in the same position over the last two. And note that Cleveland is 12-10 ATS in its last 22 in front of the home town crowd. I think CLEVELAND is worth a second look in this one. How about you?
