4* Total Money UNDER Vikings/ Saints

Going OVER the total. Man. I totally misread Atlanta last week. You have seen my write ups this year. I have a Stefanski COY ticket. I sing the guys' praises. I thought he gave them a shot at winning the NFC South. Cooper Rush looked horrible. And yet, on a short week, Pennix comes in and is great. Now he has some extra time to get more familiar with his offense. Now, with that game, comes game tape. I do like the Saints to win here tonight. They gave that game away last week to the Raiders. But the fat of the matter is, t,he Saints defense will give up points. We saw a 7-0 game at the half in Detroit turn into 31-30. They held down the Ravens to just 17 points. Then last week's 35-27 game. And they score. Like I said 30-27 and 24 in Baltimore. Falcons have some weapons on the O. I think this one is a back and forth affair and the Saints hit a 50 yard FG to win it 41-38!  4* Total Money OVER Falcons/ Saints

Going UNDER the total here. Steelers. This offense is terrible. Aaron Rodgers is done. Father Time, still undefeated. Are you worried Mason Rudolph comes in and tears it up? Wil Howard? Come on. I don't see how this gets over 42, forget about it needing to get to 47. 4* Total Money UNDER Bengals/ Steelers

4* Total Money UNDER Falcons/ Packers -- I will gladly overreact after the Falcons game. I like those guys today. I thought Stefanki, heck, you saw my write up. I thought this guy would get this offense going. They might be the worse team in the league right now. Defense is fine. You can't expect them to hold short field turnovers to FGs everytime. Packers. Eh. Nothing to flashy on either side of the ball. But they should more than be able to keep this Dirty Bird bunch to under 16 points. 

4* Total Money UNDER Colts/ Chiefs

Going UNDER the total. I'll try to keep this simple as not to offend NE fans. Drake Maye struggles vs good defenses. Just look at the numbers. Look at the last half dozen games. Now, are the Steelers a playoff team? Eh. Borderline. Do they bring their lunch pail and play tough football - absolutely. I would like to say first team to 20 wins, and they probably do, but will probably end up with 24 points. Patriots have some extra time off to work on things defensively. Again, like Packers Jets. 24-16 range. 4* Total Money UNDER Steelers/ Patriots

Going UNDER the total here. I have a bad number on this one. 44.5 currently. Look If you have just found me and my football picks. I am a get down early guy. I feel good enough about my numbers not to wait to see what happens. Sometimes we get a good number, sometimes not the best. I don't own the sites. I can't come in and delete and add things as the line moves. I bet these games at these lines. Anyway, that all being said. How is it 44.5 or 45 points? Green Bay's offense is not that great. The defense is decent. Not great, but good enough. I think the Jets have a really good defense though. Good enough to keep Love in check and Green Bay to below 23 points. And the Jets offense. Still trying to find itself. Are you really gung ho on them after they beat the Titans? I didn't think so. The fact that GB blew the game and lost how they lost leads me to believe we get a monster game this afternoon. 23-16 seems about right. 4* Total Money UNDER Packers/ Jets

Going UNDER the total. I will be shocked if this game got to 30. Total has dropped with Chargers sitting everyone. Makes sense. Do we really think Denver is going to risk guys getting injured if they get up 13-0? Nope. I would be comfortable playing this down to 34.5 -- 4* Total Money UNDER Chargers/ Broncos

Going UNDER the total. This is why you tune into my Look Ahead Lines Show on Sunday Nights. Told you take this UNDER. And it has crashed. Well, based on weather. Not me saying how bad these offenses are! 4* Total Money UNDER Miami/ Browns 

Going UNDER the total. Another game in England. I want to take the Jags here too, but haven't pulled the trigger. This is their 2nd home. They play all the time. They know the routine. A clear edge. But lets do the UNDER here. One. Travel. We see some ugly games here. No bye week coming into these things. We have a Rams defense that I think is pretty solid. A Jags one that is more bend don't break. No Nacua for the Rams. I can see the total coming down a bit for that. Again, for me. Defenses and travel. Rams looked sluggish last week vs a deleted Baltimore team. Jags weren't pretty unimpressive themselves in a 20-12 loss. Now they get terrible British food! 4* Total Money UNDER Rams/ Jags 

OVER OVER OVER OVER -- 4* Total Money OVER Bucs/ Seattle 

Going UNDER the total here. Saints have been feisty in 3 of their 4 games. Their defense should have no problem with the Giants today. Dart threw for 110 yards last week and New York lost their best WR. Now I am expected to think a rookie QB is winning AT New Orleans in his first road start. Yeah. Good luck with that. Giants got 10 points off 2 Chargers TOs that resulted in a grand total of 2 yards of offense. And if we toss out the wild Cowboys game, we see NYG allowing 18-22-21 points a game. Much like the Saints, who, if we toss out the Seattle game, has allowed 20-26-31 (Bills) Giants road, or even home offense, not on Buffalo's level. Any total over 33 points to me will be shocking. 4* Total Money UNDER Giants/ Saints 

Going UNDER the total. Man. How the heck does this go from 3.5 to 9. Is it really a drop off from +3.5 to 5.5 with Mac Jones stepping in for Purdy? Then losing Jennings and Pearsall at WR I guess really pushed this puppy. Kittle out also, but I like their TE Tonges anyway. All that being said, we go UNDER tonight. Yes. Mac Jones will be in a limited offense. Dump offs, runs, scripted safe plays. I don't see the Rams looking to drop a 40 spot tonight. Because that is how this game goes over. I think they look at their own older guys, Pad Statsford and Adams at WR and think, let's just get out of here healthy tonight. 4* Total Money UNDER Niners/ Rams

Going UNDER the total tonight. Honestly. I would be happy going under 34.5. I like the Vikings staff. There is zero chance Williams does anything great tonight. Not happening. Now. Maybe I am biased because I wasn't high on him out of college. He has not changed my opinion of him with his QB play yet. On the other side of the ball. A rookie. JJ. Kid hasn't tossed a pass in a real NFL game yet. And he gets his first start in Chicago, on Monday night. I do like this kid. I mean - we saw this team with Sam Darnold win game after game last year. Coaching. All that being said, 2 young QBs. I have to think coaches play it a little close to vest not wanting their guy to force throws and risk turnovers. Play clock running down to 1, run plays, scripted plays. First one to 20 wins. 4* Total Money UNDER Vikings/ Bears

4* Total Money UNDER Steelers/ Jets

Going OVER the total tonight. I think the Iggles can almost get to this themselves. TT Over 33.5 +200 .. Over 36.5 +330 .. Over 38.5 +500.. AJ Brown ATD +150 .. Barkley 2 TDs +265 .. Lamb ATD +135. We get points. Dak will be chucking and Dallas is good for 20+ garbage points. The defense was bad last year. It won't be better with a new regime in charge. Philly would love to beat up Dallas out of the gate. No problems scoring last year outscoring the Cowboys 75-13. 4* Total Money OVER Cowboys/ Eagles 

4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Eagles 

Going UNDER the total. Snow doesn't really mean lower scoring, but I think it will hinder the Rams passing a bit. Especially if the winds pick up. This was going to be a run first type of game from Philly anyway. Don't be fooled by last week's Eagles cover. I had them. But that was 22-10 win when you get 4 TOs? Should have been a lot bigger margin. But Hurts is still rounding into form after being out a few weeks. Rams defense has been better of late and I don't believe anyone cracks 24 points. 4* Total Money UNDER Rams/ Eagles

4* Total Money UNDER Texans/ Chiefs 

Going OVER the total here. I think this is a shoot out. If you remember, everyone thought Denver would give the Ravens a battle when they traveled to Baltimore. Well - that was 41-10 Ravens. While I do think the Bills crack 30, I think this is more inline with 37-20. Either way. First half over, full game over. Josh Allen with a big today. 4* Total Money OVER Broncos/ Bills

 Going UNDER the total here. 6 straight losses for the Patriots. 7-21-17-24-15-22-19-17-25-16-21-10-13-3-20-16. Look at that rosy offensive numbers for New England. Bills will be resting guys. I don't think Trubisky throws 4 TDs today. Josh Allen will start for his consecutive game streak, then hit the sidelines. Patriots currently in the #1 slot in the upcoming draft. Will they fumble this away like the Raiders and Giants? I don't believe in teams quitting and tanking. I do believe this team is that bad though. Please don't be fooled by that wild shoot-out in Buffalo 2 weeks ago. Bills home after b2b roadies at Rams + Lions that were offensive wonders. Bad spot for Bills there. Always a bad spot for Patriots offense. 4* Total Money UNDER Bills/ Patriots

Going UNDER the total today. Third game in 10 days for KC. These guys still are looking for their first 30 point game of the season. Think about that. 14-1 and have yet to score 30 points. Needed OT to get to 30 vs Tampa. Now they are on the road vs the Steelers who allow 18 points a game. This game just screams 19-16 to me. With no Pickens we have seen Pittsburgh score 17 and 13 points their last 2 games. When you come home on Christmas after 2 straight losses, you focus no one thing. The defense. As my buddy Scoop used to say. You can't win if you can't score. The offense has struggled, time for the defense to regroup and hold KC down.  Chiefs still have not locked down the 1 seed. We have seen their defense allow 19-7-17-17 their last 4 games. Give me the under 4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Steelers

4* Total Money UNDER Patriots/ Bills

Going UNDER the total. Cleveland changing QBs again. This team is just a disaster. Cincy can score. Do they score 40 this afternoon? Because they will have to do all the heavy lifting to get this to 50. Might do a little Bengal Team Total Over just in case they really poor it on. We saw 21-14 in October. I think the Browns top out at 10. 4* Total Money UNDER Browns/ Bengals 

4* Total Money OVER  Browns/ Steelers

4* Total Money UNDER Eagles/ Rams 

Going UNDER the total. I was on this before the Purdy news. SF is not that same team. Defense is ok. Should be able to keep Love in check. I had this game playing out 26-20 anyway. Not much to change my mind now. 4* Total Money UNDER Niners/ Packers

Going OVER the total. After a slow start the Broncos offense is coming together. The Raiders are bad. I like Denver today. So I see them in a 33-20 type of game today. Vegas, as bad as the 2-8 looks, is 7-3 to the Over. The defense doesn't do their job. The offense does just enough to annoy you if you are an under back. 4* Total Money OVER Broncos/ Raiders

Going UNDER the total. Giants with a huge move releasing Daniel Jones. Then going not to their #2 or #3 QBs - but ole Tommy Cutlets. The guy won a few games. 6 TOs in 1 and 3 TOs in 2 others. You tell me today that TB turns it over 4 times, I see why NY wins. Tampa defense will allow nothing to this guy. 23-6. 4* Total Money UNDER Bucs/ Giants

Going UNDER the total. I know the Bengals defense is bad. But the Chargers offense is a plodding mess. They will run like it is 1986. And even though the defense has looked good, nobody has scored 20, that has been vs some teams that don't have a QB like Burrow. Joe Cool with 24 TDs 4 INTs looks pretty good. That being said, Chargers will bring this game to down to the mud. 4* Total Money UNDER Bengals/ Chargers

4* Total Money UNDER Seattle/ San Fran

Going UNDER the total here. The Bears. I took a lot of heat on The X when I went on Sports Grid and said Chicago would 5, games, 7 tops. Fire the OC. The HC has been the problem! Packers defense will hold the Bears down. Bears OL a mess. Williams sacked 38 times. Green Bay off the bye week and a loss to Detroit before that. Worse case the Packers score 40 themselves. And we can still win 40-0! 4* Total Money UNDER Packers/ Bears

Going UNDER the total. Raiders are looking for a QB in the draft. Hello Sanders. Maybe a Sanders HC too. I can't see Vegas scoring more than 13 here. And as long as Tua plays like he has the last 3 weeks, that is 27 points for Miami, we are good with the under. Add in the short week and that might help slow things up a bit with a lack luster 1st half. 4* Money UNDER Raiders/ Miami

Going UNDER the total. I'll say it. Two bad QBs. I also like the Colts here because I think the Jets defense is not all that great. 4* Total Money UNDER Colts/ Jets

Going UNDER the total. Titans are bad, but, they play defense. The Chargers also struggle a bit on offense vs a better defense. Where does the Tennessee offense come from? 14 at Detroit. 10 at Buffalo. 17 at Chicago. Somehow scored 31 at Miami. Charges offense - 26-8 over the Saints. 27-10 Cleveland. 26-3 Carolina. 22-10 Vegas. Heck 17-10 loss to KC and 20-10 loss to Pitt. The defense is there. This game screams 23-13. 4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS4* Total Money UNDER Titans/ Chargers

Going UNDER. A pair of solid defense and questionable offenses. A pair of rookie QBs. Both teams near the bottom of Red Zone scoring attempts. Did I mention rookie QBs - oh. Bears 29th in passing, Patriots 32. I will be shocked if either team touches 20. 4* Total Money UNDER Patriots/ Bears

Will be going UNDER the total here. Also like Washington to win this thing. But to the UNDER. If we remove the Ravens game, and look at those other 5 games, Commies giving up just 14.2ppg. Steelers off their bye week, for me at least, not a real big offensive team. They are defense first. We know Tomlin has a solid record vs rookie QBs. But rookie QBs have been covering machines this year. Again. 14ppg allowed. We have seen Washington struggle a bit vs the better defenses they have faced. 4* Total Money UNDER Pitt/ Washington 

Going OVER the total. Line has moved a few points as I see 52.5 and even 53.5 out there. If you aren't comfortable with the big move, I would say Ravens Team Total Over.  Now. If you watch or listen to Look Ahead Lines you would have been down on this one at the early number. Even said it on Mid Day Money. We saw a wild 41-38 game a couple weeks ago. Cincy defense is still not a solid unit. Ravens will put up 30+ here at home. Baltimore 8-1 to the over this season, Cincy 6-3. Lamar is possibly on his way to another MVP. Henry hasn't lost a step. They should have at least 5 TDs between them with their feet and Lamar's arm.  Again. This is now around 53 - I have this game at 34/37 points for Baltimore - 20/23 points for the Bengals. 4* Total Money OVER Bengals/ Ravens

Going UNDER the total. Both teams off last second games. A 3rd straight win for Arizona, a gut wrenching loss for the Bears. Don't love rookie QBs on the road. Especially when I think their HC is absolute trash. But the defense is the real deal. We saw a 20-13 game vs the Lions here. We also saw a 41-10 game here by Arizona. Arizona does have a little defense. Bears have a lot of it. 4* Total Money UNDER Bears/ Arizona

Going UNDER the total here. Even if Carr is the QB, are the Saints scoring 40? I don't think so. 8-10-27-13-24-12. That is what the offense has delivered. That opening 47-10 over these same Panthers and 44-19 over Dallas are distant memories. And Carolina. Their best game was after they benched Bryce and went with Andy in Vegas. 44? I might look to go under 34! 4* Total Money UNDER Saints/ Panthers

4*  Total Money OVER Ravens) Browns

Going UNDER the total. Will keep this one nice and simple. Last time I saw CJ Stroud and the Texans on the road vs a good team, they were getting hammered 34-7 by another NFC team, the Minnesota Vikings. I like the GB defense. I think it is a good unit. The game in Brazil was odd - Minnesota is, I think, the real deal. Texans on the road, not scary. They had gone under in 4 of their first 5 before that scoring outburst in New England. Not expecting that here. 4* Total Money UNDER Texans/Packers

Going UNDER the total here. I want to pull the trigger on the lowly Browns as well. Should be getting some OL help here on Sunday. Also, a Chubb sighting at RB. That will help Watson who has been brutal this year. But you can't throw when you are on your back. With Chubb back, I expect the run game to be center stage here. Cleveland has not scored more than 18 points in a game this year. And that 18 got them a win, 18-13 at Jacksonville. But my oh my - 16-13-16-15-17 points scored. I am sure you hear WR Amari Cooper was sent packing. If I lose this with Browns scoring 20 or more, it is because the Yanks have moved on to the World Series and the City of Cleveland needs hope. 4* Total Money UNDER Bengals/ Browns 

Going OVER the total here. I think we see a high scoring game here in Atlanta. Cousins seems to finding his footing in his new offense. Seattle defense is rested off their Lions defeat. 3 Straight losses for Seattle, 3 straight wins for the Falcons. Helps when you are putting up over 33ppg as Atlanta has done in those wins. But this is a tough spot with a trip to Tampa on deck. Seattle possible in a 'must win' type game with the way they have played. Atlanta defense is average at best - 20-30-24-22-21 points allowed - 18 to Pitt, who settled for 6 FGs. Another team may have had a TD or 2. In this spot, I expect 24-30 from Seattle. We should be staring at a game in the mid 50s. 4* Total Money OVER Seattle/ Falcons 

Going UNDER the total. Another England game for the Jags. If they give up 35 like last week, I think we have a coach firing on Monday in Jacksonville. So off that poor game, and a rookie QB making just his 2nd start, we go Under. Now - this didn't help last week as Caleb and the Bears had their way with the Jags defense. But the Patriots offense is not that talented. A bounce back spot for the Jags, sure. A game with a team scoring 30+, no. 4* Total Money UNDER Patriots/ Jaguars

this was suppose to be OVER.. 

4* Total Money UNDER Steelers/ Raiders

4* Total Money UNDER Texans/ Patriots

Going UNDER the total. I think the KC is more a defense first than offense, even with the great Mahomes at QB. Pacheco Out. Rice Out. Kelce Old. Solid Saints defense. For the Saints. Their OL vs a tough DL. Kimara banged up. David Carr at QB who they have plenty of film on. I this one is 23-20. 4* Total Money UNDER Saints/ Chiefs

4* Total Money UNDER Cowboys/ Steelers 

Going UNDER the total. Rams defense is bad yes. But I can't see GB putting up 34-40 here. I think this one is 30-10 or something along those lines. 4* Total Money UNDER Packers/ Rams

Going UNDER the total here. Tampa defense looking pretty good so far this season. Just a weird, bad loss to Denver. But a nice win at Detroit. Took care of Philly again. If you are holding those teams to 16 points, I think you do the same here even on short week. Had the Falcons last week. Win loss Push. Not a good outcome. They had no right winning that one. Muff punt TD. Pick 6. 58 yard FG. Come on. These guys scored 10 vs the Steelers. Pulled out a miracle win out in Philly, a TD with 30 seconds left (22 points). I think they got hosed vs KC. But still - 17 points. Offense is still a work in progress. 4* Total Money UNDER Bucs/ Falcons 

4* Total Money OVER Seattle/ Lions

Going UNDER the total. Has anyone seen the Browns offense this season? Of course not. We are still lookin for it. 17-18-15 points. And the Raiders. Banged up all over the place. This game will be ugly. 4* Total Money UNDER Browns/ Vegas

Going UNDER the total. Chiefs offense to me, not clicking. Rice and Worthy looked awesome in Week 1. But I have not been impressed lately. Add in no Pacheco. KC has been a defensive team the last couple years anyway. Chargers a run first team and it doesn't matter who the QB is. SNF long flight cross country for KC. LAC home off battle in Pitt and 2 roadies. Screams under to me. 4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Chargers

Going UNDER the total. We get two tough defenses, and two teams that like to run it a bit. 4* Total Money UNDER Vikings/ Packers

Going UNDER the total. Let's keep this simple. Steelers can play defense. Both quarterbacks leave a little to be desired. First team to 20 wins the game. 4* Total Money UNDER Steelers/ Colts

Going UNDER the total. Falcons appear to be still looking for their offense. The defense for me is a strong point for KC. I think they shut down Atlanta - who, is on a short week and needed everything in the tank to pull out a late win at Phily. For as great as the KC hype is, they could be 0-2! The Toe vs the Ravens. A PI call to get past Cincy. No Pacheco. Mahomes has as many TDs as INTs (3/3). 4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Falcons
