NFL Analysis by Mike O'Connor
***WASHINGTON (+7.5) 26 Philadelphia 24

Sat Dec-20-2014 at 01:30 PM Pacific Rotation: 106 Over/Under 50.5

The Redskins played well in their 13-24 loss last week to the Giants as they outgained New York 372 yards at 5.5 yppl to 287 yards at 5.0 yppl, winning strong in the trenches (144 rushing yards at 5.3 ypr to 49 at 2.2 ypr for the Giants). They have some talent and I expect that they’ll play well and keep this one close against an Eagles team that has taken a step back recently in losses to the Cowboys and the Seahawks at home but still have a shot at the playoffs contingent upon a win in this game. That scenario actually sets the Redskins up in a 91-57-4 contrarian situation that plays on teams that are out of the playoffs when facing a team that needs a win to stay in the race. Washington also qualifies in a 54-21-1 situation that plays on late season home dogs while the Eagles qualify in a negative 21-51 situation that plays against big favorites with below average defenses. My model predicts just a 1.3 point Eagles win in this one and with good line value and situations lining up, I’ll take the Redskins +7.5 for 3-stars down to +7 and for 2-stars at down to +6.
***Minnesota (+7 -125) 20 MIAMI 17

Sun Dec-21-2014 at 10:00 AM Pacific Rotation: 107 Over/Under 42.5

The Vikings have been playing well recently (won 7 of the last 8 ATS) as the game has slowed down for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater while their defense has consistently improved, allowing an average of just 19 points per game in their last nine. On the other side, the Dolphins have imploded down the stretch in two pivotal games against the Ravens and the Patriots the past two weeks and are on the outside looking in at the playoffs. With a win in this game needed for a shot at the postseason, Miami qualifies on the wrong side of a 91-57-4 contrarian situation that plays against teams in this spot. Minnesota also qualifies in another late season 143-93-9 situation as well as a very good 80-28-2 trend while the Dolphins qualify in a negative 199-318-17 statistical match-up indicator. With strong technical support stemming from multiple and varied situations, this is an automatic play for me. I’ll take the Vikings +7 (-125) for 3-stars down to +6 and for 2-stars at down to +4.5.
**NY JETS (+10.5) 22 New England 25

Sun Dec-21-2014 at 10:00 AM Pacific Rotation: 116 Over/Under 47.5

Fittingly, this is likely the final home game in the Rex Ryan era and as it happens, it’s against the Jets most hated rival, the Patriots. As a coach that the team loves and respects, this is no doubt a game that the Jets will be bringing all they have in an effort to send Rex out in style. From a match-up perspective, New York should be able to grind out yards (averaging 146 rushing yards at 4.7 ypr against teams that allow 110 yards at 4.3 ypr) against a Patriots rush defense that has been about average defending the run. In their previous game earlier this season, the Jets gave the Patriots all that they could handle in a close 25-27 loss as New York won the yardage battle 423-323, including dominating the Pats on the ground with a 218 at 5.1 ypr to 63 at 4.2 ypr advantage. The Jets will follow a similar plan this game I’m sure as last time they also controlled the clock with a 40:54 – 19:06 advantage, effectively keeping Tom Brady and the New England offense off the field. With a clear rushing advantage, New York qualifies in a 281-179-14 statistical match up situation as well as a 500-416-16 turnover based trend. This is too many points to pass up in a tough divisional game and as a result I’ll take the Jets +10.5 for 2-Stars down to +10.

Randall the Handle's Week 16 NFL picks:

BEST BETS

Chiefs (8-6) at Steelers (9-5)



LINE: PITTSBURGH by 3
The Chiefs are getting far too much respect here as their pop-gun offence is being asked to keep up with the league’s No. 1 offence, with the Steelers averaging a whopping 424.9 yards per game. Pittsburgh has registered 101 points in its past three games, due largely in part to a healthy offensive line getting back on the field. That O-Line has helped RB Le’Veon Bell become a star runner and with the big guys leading up front, Bell should be up for a big day against K.C.’s 28th-ranked run defence. As for the passing game, Pittsburgh WR Antonio Brown has more yards, receptions and touchdown catches than all seven of Kansas City’s wideouts. While Pittsburgh’s play is known to be erratic, it certainly plays its best football against winning teams. Kansas City qualifies, but it is more fluff than stuff, and had dropped three straight before toppling the 2-12 Raiders last week. Steelers get the lead and it’s nighty-night Chiefs.
TAKING: STEELERS -3



Giants (5-9) at Rams (6-8)



LINE: ST. LOUIS by 5
Ten days ago, we couldn’t understand how the Rams could be giving six points to the league-leading Cardinals when two weeks prior, they were giving away the same six points to the bottom-dwelling Raiders. Now the Giants come calling and that’s the kind of team the Rams can give less than a touchdown to. St. Louis’ defence has become a premier unit in this league. The Rams lost last week, but gave up only 12 points on four field goals. St. Louis had shut out its two previous opponents, making it just 12 points surrendered in the past three weeks. The Giants have rookie of the year Odell Beckham Jr. — after that, they have next to nothing. The G-Men have only won road games at Washington and recently at Tennessee. They lost in Jacksonville three weeks ago and this is their third road game in four weeks. The Rams aren’t overly proficient offensively, but they won’t need to be here when shutting down this unintimidating visitor.
TAKING: RAMS –5



Seahawks (10-4) at Cardinals (11-3)



LINE: SEATTLE by 8
The Cardinals keep paying out like a broken ATM machine. As long as oddsmakers continue undervaluing this club, we’ll keep scooping up the cash. Look at the price in this one. Arizona taking better than a touchdown on its own field? The same field it hasn’t lost on this season? It is understood that the Cardinals are starting a third-string quarterback and that Ryan Lindley will face Seattle’s staunch defence. That’s okay. We’ve got a whole bunch of points in our pocket. It’s not like the Seahawks have been lighting up the scoreboard, exceeding 20 points only once in their past five games. And Arizona’s defence is no slouch. This is the final Sunday-night game of the season with the NFC West likely on the line. U of Phoenix Stadium will be amped up and Seattle giving away this many points is almost as illogical as Arizona receiving this many. No matter what the outcome, the Cards deserve our endorsement.
TAKING: CARDINALS +8


THE REST
Eagles (9-5) at Redskins (3-11)



LINE: PHILADELPHIA by 8
Spoilers can play a role in these final two weeks, but the Redskins don’t figure to do so. This Washington defence is one of the more incapable units in the NFL and they’ll be facing an Eagles team that is looking to unleash on someone after consecutive setbacks against quality clubs. Chip Kelly’s group racked up 37 points with 400 yards of offence when these two met earlier and the Redskins’ defence has regressed since then. The ’Skins have just two home wins this year and those were against Jacksonville and Tennessee, with the lone cover in six tries occurring against the lowly Jaguars. The Eagles must win out to get to the playoffs and this opponent should aid that objective.
TAKING: EAGLES -8



49ers (7-7) at Chargers (8-6)



LINE: SAN FRANCISCO by 1
Things have gone from bad to worse with the disjointed, dysfunctional 49ers as injuries continue to pile up, the team releasing troubled DT Ray McDonald and Jim Harbaugh parading the sidelines with airplane tickets sticking out of his unstylish pants. There’s little to believe that San Fran gets off the mat here as the team cannot find the end zone. The Niners have scored just 79 combined points this season in the second half of their games, a paltry average of 5.6 per game after halftime. The Chargers are in a bit of a rut themselves, but just needing a win in the pursuit of a playoff spot is the more sensible way to think here.
TAKING: CHARGERS +1



Vikings (6-8) at Dolphins (7-7)



LINE: MIAMI by 6½
Seems the Dolphins have run out of gas after a promising start, but don’t expect them to roll over and play dead in this one. Firstly, the Fish have a very slim chance of making the post-season and, with an early game, they have to play their hand that way. Secondly, the Vikings are more their speed after a difficult stretch that saw the Fins playing Denver, Baltimore and New England over the past month. Minnesota QB Teddy Bridgewater has shown some growth, but is still prone to rookie mistakes, ones that the Miami defence can exploit. Miami players may rally here to help keep coach’s job.
TAKING: DOLPHINS -6½



Packers (10-4) at Buccaneers (2-12)



LINE: GREEN BAY by 10½
If only it was as easy as picking the one team that needs the game more. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. Eliminated teams covet the spoiler’s role in hopes of ending the season on a good note (and, more importantly, retaining jobs). Of course, there is a huge disparity in talent levels for this one, but Green Bay giving away double-digit road points is not a sound investment. The Packers have a losing road record (3-4) and they’ve been outscored by 34 points on the season away from Lambeau. Tampa’s defence has quietly been a strong unit during the second half of disappointing season.
TAKING: BUCCANEERS +10½



Lions (10-4) at Bears (5-9)



LINE: DETROIT by 9
Jay Cutler has been benched, maybe for good in Chicago, and Jimmy Clausen will take over quarterback duties. Still, we couldn’t give away these points with a visiting Detroit club even if it were Santa Clausen pivoting the home club. With a hobbled Reggie Bush, the Lions’ offence is not nearly as effective, relying solely on its passing game. Even against this useless Bears defence, that’s a tough way to go. This contest is a classic overreaction to what folks have recently witnessed, as Chicago was listless on Monday night on national television. The result is an inflated price, crossing over some key numbers, and providing value with the host Bears.
TAKING: BEARS +9



Falcons (5-9) at Saints (6-8)



LINE: NEW ORLEANS by 6
What more can be said about this porous division? Even so, either team wins out and it takes the division. With the nonsense-palooza NFC South this year, it would only be fitting that this one comes down to a zany finish and we expect the Falcons to be there every step of the way. Despite losing the season opener to these Saints, Atlanta threw for 445 yards in a 37-34 shootout. Let’s not forget that New Orleans had lost four of five before facing the dysfunctional Bears on Monday night. Once indestructible at home, the Saints have dropped four straight here. Generous points being offered in this one.
TAKING: FALCONS +6



Patriots (11-3) at Jets (3-11)



LINE: NEW ENGLAND by 10
Two more weeks until they blow up the Jets. This will just be one more stick of dynamite added because the Patriots were caught off-guard before holding off the Jets 27-25 when these two met in mid-October. New England will be more alert this time. That first meeting was on four days’ rest and the Pats had just lost Jerod Mayo and Stevan Ridley. They’ve adapted since. The Jets have managed to hold their own with this hated rival, but this New York group is weaker than previous clubs and with Geno Smith’s limited talent and underwhelming roster, a streaking New England team should lay waste its pesky opponent.
TAKING: PATRIOTS –10



Ravens (9-5) at Texans (7-7)



LINE: BALTIMORE by 5½
While the Ravens have been able to contain the run since losing key DL Haloti Ngata, facing Houston’s Arian Foster figures to be more of a challenge than anyone the Dolphins or Jaguars employ. The Texans are sure to run frequently as they are another club down to a third-string quarterback after Ryan Fitzpatrick was lost for the season last week. On the flip side, Justin Forsett has been running big time since taking over in Baltimore, but he’ll have to contend with the spectacular skills of J.J. Watt, and that’s never an easy assignment. The Texans are motivated to perform well against ex-coach Gary Kubiak, now OC for Ravens.
TAKING: TEXANS +5½



Bills (8-6) at Raiders (2-12)



LINE: BUFFALO by 5½
After Buffalo’s defence fared very well against Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers in consecutive weeks, it would not be a surprise to see the Bills unintentionally ease up here against a perceived doormat. While the Raiders have a lot of work to do, they’ve been competitive on this field recently, knocking off both the Chiefs and 49ers. The Bills are still holding on to some flickering playoff hopes, but asking them to travel to the west coast and give away points is a tall order for an offence that has struggled to find the end zone. QB Kyle Orton has just two touchdowns compared to five interceptions in past three games.
TAKING: RAIDERS +5½



Colts (10-4) at Cowboys (10-4)



LINE: DALLAS by 3
The Colts will likely be exposed once again as this mediocre team has had the benefit of a very soft schedule. Indy has faced two winning teams during its past seven games and the results were embarrassing (a 51-34 loss to the Steelers and a 42-20 loss to the Patriots). The Cowboys have the scoring abilities of both of those teams and, with the Colts away from their cozy dome, this line seems exceedingly cheap. Despite Dallas’ good record, they cannot afford a loss here as other NFC clubs are in a good position to overtake the ’Boys should they slip up. We doubt that happens.
TAKING: COWBOYS -3



Broncos (11-3) at Bengals (9-4-1)



LINE: DENVER by 3½
The heat is on again for the Bengals as they try to shake the bugaboo of playing well during prime-time games. It is not without risk as the Andy Dalton era has seen the Bengals go 2-9 when the lights go up. Still, Cincy can be tough on this field, having won 13 of its past 16 played here. Cincinnati is going to have to control the pace in this one and, with its crafty running game, currently sixth-best in the league, the Bengals are capable of doing so. Denver’s offence can never be ignored, but perhaps has eased the demand on Peyton Manning as the playoffs loom. The Broncos are scoring in the low 20s in their past two games.
TAKING: BENGALS +3½


Browns (7-7) at Panthers (5-8-1)



LINE: CAROLINA by 3½
Cam Newton returns for Carolina and he’ll be up against another Heisman Award winner as Johnny Manziel will take the field for just his second start. Anyone who watched Johnny Football play last week would be reluctant to wager counterfeit money on Cleveland’s newest quarterback. Based on that, this line has a funny stench to it as the Panthers have won two straight and are fighting for a playoff berth while the Browns are playing out the string. However, Carolina has given away points just once in its past nine games and failed to cover last week when doing so against the meagre Bucs. We prefer the AFC North team taking any points to an NFC South squad offering them.
TAKING: BROWNS +3½

5 Unit Play. #117 Take Kansas City Chiefs +3 over Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday 1 pm CBS)

TOP NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

This is an elimination game as both teams are vying for the playoffs in the AFC. Pittsburgh is in much better shape to make the playoffs, but this team has not handled prosperity well this season. Kansas City is solid on both sides of the football, and the same cannot be said for Pittsburgh. Their defense ranks in the bottom half of the league despite playing some of the worst quarterbacks in the league. Kansas City has been a great road team under Andy Reid, covering the spread in 11 of 15 road games the last two years. Big Ben will have his moments in this game, but Kansas City will pull it out by a field goal.


4 Unit Play. #116 Take New York Jets +10.5 over New England Patriots (Sunday 1 pm CBS)

The Jets and Coach Rex Ryan always seem to get up for playing the Patriots, and this will certainly be the last hurrah for Ryan, who will be fired later this month. The Jets nearly beat the Patriots at Foxboro earlier this season, losing by just 2 points. Geno Smith is not any good, but expect a very conservative gameplan to allow him to succeed and keep this deficit under single digits. Nothing bad can really be said about the way New England is playing at the moment, but I just do not see a blowout victory. New England is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a losing record. The Jets are 5-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games played in December.


4 Unit Play. #130 Take Arizona Cardinals +8 over Seattle Seahawks (Sunday 8:30 pm NBC)

The Cardinals continue to get no respect from anybody, and that will just serve as motivation in this game. They have the best record in the NFL yet enter this game as over a touchdown underdog despite the game being played in Glendale. Arizona still has a rock-solid defense, and Seattle is not an offensive juggernaut. Seattle scored just 19 points when these teams met in the first meeting, and I do not believe they will be able to put many more points up than that in this game. Expect Arizona to play much better on offense despite their quarterback situation, as one must remember that Larry Fitzgerald did not play in that first meeting. Nobody gave Arizona a chance last week against St. Louis, and they won that game straight-up, and it would not surprise me if the same thing happens in this night game. Arizona is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games. Seattle is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played during Week 16.

EZ Winners

(107) Minnesota Vikings +6

(Risking $220 to win $200)
(Line from Bookmaker on 12/20/14

The Dolphins loss at New England pretty much put them out of any hopes of the playoffs. Miami is not technically eliminated, but must win out and need a lot of help. Minnesota is playing very well. The Vikings defense has been solid and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is doing a very nice job with the offense. Miami always seems to struggle in the final two weeks of the season and teams that are out of playoff contention are 90-55-4 against the spread in the final two weeks of regular season against teams that must win to stay alive. Take the points.



(110) Tampa Bay Bucs +11.5

(Risking $220 to win $200)
(Line from Bookmaker on 12/20/14

The Packers are coming off of a tough loss last week in Buffalo and most people expect them to bounce back and blast the Bucs this week, but I believe there is value with Tampa Bay. The Bears are the only team that the Packers have beat by more than a field goal on the road this year and the Bucs have only lost by more than this point spread once this season at home. Since 2009, double digit home underdogs are an incredible 16-2 against the spread! Take the points.



(116) New York Jets +10.5

(Risking $220 to win $200)
(Line from Bookmaker on 12/20/14

This is another ugly one, but The Jets under Rex Ryan quite often have found a way of putting a scare into superior Patriot teams. This will be Rex Ryans and the Jets Super Bowl and they will give their best shot against a Patriots team that just picked up a revenge win against the Dolphins last week and clinched yet another division title. This is another double digit home underdog and as I stated earlier these big home dogs are 16-2 against the spread in the last eighteen tries. Take the points.

Minnesota Vikings at Miami Dolphins (-6-) 1:00 PM EST
Miami has all but played themselves out of a post season party invitation. They have lost consecutive games to New England and Baltimore by a combined count of 69-27. That makes three straight games in which they were out-yarded. Last week at New England, Miami was competitive early on before New England used a 27-0 second half for the resounding 41-13 win. 7-7 SU game 15 home teams following a blowout loss have been a kiss of death to their backers. With Miami totaling just 42 PPG L3 weeks, and running for a combined 139 yards L2 weeks, that situation should hold up. The Vikings led 14-0 vs Detroit last week, before succumbing to the Lions’ defensive pressure in an eventual 16-14 loss. But rookie QB Bridgewater has shown notable improvement since taking the reins. In fact, Minnesota is on a 7-1 ATS streak entering today’s game. In a game that the stats say should go down to the wire, the road dog is the value side.

Hondo

Hondo gives, you receive

It’s the annual Hondo Christmas Special, boys and girls, so gather ’round the Bettor’s Guide tree and let Jolly St. Aitch, who compiled an impressive 9-6-1 record in Week 15 (2-1 in Best Bets), fill your stockings with an assortment of priceless goodies.

Redskins over Eagles: This just in: Skittish Sony executives, who pulled the plug on the release of “The Interview” because of an anonymous cyber threat, also may cancel Friday’s scheduled release of “Annie.” Apparently some frizzy-haired foster children don’t like how they are portrayed and have threatened to sic their dogs on the company’s cowering execs.

Chargers over 49ers: ’Tis the season for the Niners to have no reason, so if you put a little bit of coin, or even a little Bitcoin, on the still-breathing Chargers, you should be able to bolt to the winner’s circle.

Jets over Patriots: If the Jets love to play for Rex as much as they say, the least they can do is let him cover against the hated Pats in his MetLife farewell. It could happen if Geno shows a few more “flashes of being a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback.”

Giants over Rams: Big Blue have simplified their offense to where it’s now down to one play — throw it to Beckham — which is one more than the Rams have. That should enable the Giants to keep it close, which counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and betting the underdog.

Dolphins over Vikings: Mrs. Cosby, refuting claims that Bill is a predator, says her husband is a “kind man, a generous man, a funny man and a wonderful husband, father and friend.” And, judging by many accounts, he’s also allegedly a pretty good amateur pharmacist.

Packers over Bucs: Charlie Manson reportedly bought his fiancée, Afton Burton, a wedding ring. And it’s only going to get better for the future Mrs. Manson — the rumor out of Corcoran State is that for Christmas he plans to give her a soldering iron so she can burn a swastika into her forehead.

Lions over Bears: Obama operatives reportedly are pushing progressive Mass. Senator and self-proclaimed Native American Elizabeth Warren to run for president, which could hurt Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the nomination. If that happens, count on The Portly Pantsuit pinning the blame on “the vast left-wing conspiracy.”

If the woman sometimes called Fauxcahontas does make it to the White House, she will be the first true Commander-in-Chief.

Saints over Falcons: It turns out Pope Francis, contrary to initial reporting, did not say, “Paradise is open to all God’s creatures.” How could it be? Chances are many dogs would be turned away at the gates for using their time on Earth to commit unforgivable sins such as repeatedly humping human legs, senselessly destroying their owners’ property and polluting their homes with excessive indoor flatulence.

Steelers over Chiefs: If Roger Goodell ever loses his cushy $44 million a year gig with the NFL, he would have no problem landing a job with Sony, where execs seemingly aren’t required to have a backbone.

If nothing else, the Sony hackers have confirmed Newton’s Third Law of Motion (for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction, as if you didn’t know). While panicking company execs such as co-chairwoman Amy Pascal, who on Thursday pleaded for forgiveness from Al Sharpton for her racially charged emails, basically have been screaming: “Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!,” the opportunistic Sharpton has been yelling: “Payday! Payday! Payday!”

Panthers over Browns: Sony producer Scott Rudin ripped into Angelina Jolie in an email, calling her “a minimally talented spoiled brat from Crazyland.” That gives her something in common with Johnny Manziel.

BarkingMut of SoBe, the HondoNation southern bureau chief, says Manziel has gone from Johnny Bench to Johnny Stench.

Ravens over Texans: Houston coach Bill O’Brien has to choose between QBs Case Keenum and Thad Lewis, which is like having to choose between Geno Smith and Michael Vick.

Bills over Raiders: Barbara Walters came out of retirement again to announce her Most Fascinating Person of the Year is Amal Clooney. That must be for Amal’s willingness to marry a man so insecure, according to Sony’s hacked emails, he pleaded with execs to give him “some protection from all the reviews” of “The Monuments Men.” The man’s a monument to wimpiness.

Cowboys over Colts: If there’s a movie to be made about the Sony surrender, it should be titled either “Faintheart” or “Cowering Inferno.” With Noel Coward no longer in the picture, Wimpy George Clooney would be perfect for the lead role.

Cardinals over Seahawks: More Mut: Bill Clinton was so delighted about Obama easing the trade embargo with Cuba that if Hillary wins the White House, he plans to invite Monica Lewinsky back to share in a big fat Cuban cigar.

Bengals over Broncos: You can be sure Red Billy de Blasio and Chirlane were havana good time, downing some Mojitos and Cuban sandwiches behind the 10-foot fence he built at Gracie Mansion to keep the proletariat from looking in. Now they’ll be able to visit their honeymoon site without going by way of Canada.

BEST BETS: Dolphins, Steelers, Ravens.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Jaguars.

Have yourselves a Merry little Christmas, HondoNation!

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 8* (Regular Play) on Chicago vs. Detroit @ 1:00 p.m. ET
The Chicago Bears take on the Detroit Lions Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Chicago with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. There is major turmoil in the Windy City but let’s not forget this is still a heated divisional rivalry. The Bears are at home and have a chance to play spoiler to the Lions postseason hopes. This is a lot of points to give the host team – regardless of the situation. 2. With Jimmy Clausen getting the start, expect a healthy dose of RB Matt Forte, who has been chomping at the bit for more touches. Not only with a run heavy attack keep the Lions potent pass game off the field but it will also relieve some of the pass rush pressure from Detroit’s defense. 3. For the amount of weapons Detroit has on offense, the scoring attack just hasn’t produced this season. The Lions managed only 16 points against Minnesota last week and has scored 20 or fewer points in four of their last six contests. Giving 8.5 points on the road could be a tall task for this team.
Play on Chicago as an 8* Regular Selection Sunday.
Good luck, Scott.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 10* (Top Play) on OVER in Oakland vs. Buffalo @ 4:25 p.m. ET
The Oakland Raiders host the Buffalo Bills Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on OVER in Oakland with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Bills defense is bound for a letdown after such a solid performance against the Packers last week. On top of that, Buffalo travels out to the West Coast and has a lookahead trap with New England ahead on the schedule. 2. Buffalo’s offense has been stuck in mud the past two games, but this team has shown explosiveness with the football. The Bills put up 26 and 38 points in the two weeks prior and face an Oakland stop unit giving up 27.2 points per game. 3. Oakland will be looking to get the ball out quickly and keep the Buffalo pass rush at bay Sunday. The Raiders offensive line has performed well at home and rookie QB David Carr has thrown for 10 touchdowns in his last five starts inside O.co Coliseum. The emergence of RB Latavius Murray has helped keep opposing defenses honest and given Oakland a big-play weapon on the ground. The Raiders have played Over the total in five of their last seven games.
Play on OVER in Oakland as a 10* Top Selection Sunday.
Good luck, Scott.

Take: Indianapolis Colts +3½-105 in 7h

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 10* (Top Play) on Indianapolis at Dallas @ 4:25 p.m. ET
The Dallas Cowboys host the Indianapolis Colts Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Indianapolis with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. Indianapolis is still in the hunt for a top seed and home field in the AFC, so this non-conference matchup is very important to the Colts. Not having to travel to Denver or New England could be the difference when it comes to making the Super Bowl. 2. Dallas is terrible at home. The Cowboys are just 2-5 ATS inside AT&T Stadium this season and welcome an Indianapolis offense that will be right at home on the turf inside. 3. The Colts bring the best passing game in the NFL to Arlington, and even with WR TY Hilton nursing an injury, Andrew Luck has plenty of options. Dallas has given up an average of 256 passing yards over the past three games and opponents have been able to convert on third down on 44.69 percent of their snaps. On the other side of the ball, Indianapolis’ defense is tops in the league on third downs (32.95%).

8:30p Seattle Seahawks vs Arizona Cardinals
Take: Arizona Cardinals +8-110 in 11h

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NFL Sunday 8* (Regular Play) on Arizona vs. Seattle @ 8:30 p.m. ET
The Arizona Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks Sunday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Arizona with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. Arizona has the running game and zone-blocking technique to keep the ball moving on the ground. The Cardinals, despite losing RB Andre Ellington, where able to push St. Louis around for 143 yards rushing last Thursday. Establishing the ground game is not only important to keeping the pressure of QB Ryan Lindley, but will ice Seattle’s offense on the sideline. 2. Arizona’s defense continues to keep it in games. The Cardinals are one of the most aggressive stop units in the league and will throw plenty of pressure at Russell Wilson Sunday night. Arizona had seven sacks in the loss to Seattle on Nov. 23 and has 33 sacks and numerous QB pressures on the season. 3. Arizona head coach Bruce Arians isn’t going to back off on offense with this third-string QB taking snaps. Arians says he will attack the Seattle secondary with deep throws and won’t dumb down his playbook. The Cardinals have some talented targets down field and a proven third-down option in WR Larry Fitzgerald, who missed the first meeting with Seattle. Arizona has covered the spread in six of its last eight home games versus the Seahawks.
Play on Arizona as an 8* Regular Selection Sunday.

ALLEN EASTMAN (NFL)

NFL 411 Game of the Week (1 p.m.)
7-Unit Play. Take #118 Pittsburgh (-3) over Kansas City (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 21)
This play is from my NFL 411 System. I won big with the Steelers again last week. I will win big with them again this week! The Steelers offense has been great. They have scored 27 or more points in their last four games. They will get a big boost from the home crowd this weekend and they will be too much for the Chiefs. Kansas City is just 1-3 in their last four games. They beat Oakland last week. But Oakland is one of the worst teams in the league. The Steelers have blown out Baltimore and Indianapolis at home and they have scored 30 or more points in four straight home games. The Chiefs struggle to throw the ball down the field. They won’t be able to keep up in a shootout. The Steelers are 6-0 ATS against teams with a winning record and 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games in Week 16. Lay the points with this one as the Steelers win by 10.

STRIKE POINT SPORTS (NFL)

6-Unit Play. Take #107 Minnesota (+7) over Miami (1 p.m., Sunday Dec. 21)
This Vikings team has quitely been playing some solid teams extremely tough. Minnesota has lost four games since October 19th, by a combined 14 points. Those loses were at Detroit, at Chicago, at Buffalo, and versus Green Bay. The only one of those loses that is a bad loss is the Chicago game, but that game nearly a month ago. The Dolphins have not been playing well and in no way should they be favored by this many points. This game has a game-winning drive field goal written all over it. The Vikings have numerous trends backing their squad in this game as it is just a great spot for them. Minnesota is 4-0 ATS in their last four games following an S.U. loss, they are 10-1 ATS in the last 11 December games, and 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. Miami hasn’t been as fortunate as they are 0-5 ATS in their last five December games, and just 15-35-1 ATS in their last 51 home games versus a team with a losing road record. These two teams just matchup too well with each other, and the line is just too high. Take the road dog in this one as the points are going to pay huge dividends.

3-Unit Play. Take #127 Indianapolis (+3) over Dallas (4:30 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 21)
We have made this play a lot over the last few years, and we have done well by fading the Cowboys when it matters most. This is a huge game for Dallas as they are trying to secure at least one-home game during the playoffs. The Colts are going to play all of their starters to try and get the top-seed in the AFC, regardless of how hard it may be. These are two similar teams as far as talent level, but I just don’t have faith in DeMarco Murray and his hand, if he plays. Don’t get me wrong, Murray is one of the best backs in the league this season, but with his broken hand, the game will just be too difficult. Indy is 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 December games and 4-0 ATS in their last four Week 16 games. Dallas meanwhile is 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and 0-4 ATS in their last four Week 16 games. Dallas falters late and the Colts cover as a road dog.

2-Unit Play. Take #126 Oakland (+6) over Buffalo (4:30 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 21)
I just don’t like the Bills as a six-point favorite on the road, regardless of who they are playing. Not only do I not like them as a road favorite, but they are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings with Oakland. The Bills are also not the type of team that you jump on after they get a big S.U. win, as they are just 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 games in that situation. Oakland meanwhile is 5-1 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss and 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a S.U. loss. Take the points and the home team in this one as this is a field goal game.

INDIAN COWBOY (NFL)

7-Unit Play. #129. Take Seattle -7.5 over Arizona (Sunday @ 8:30pm est)
We take Seattle here over Arizona though the public is in favor of Arizona given how well they have played behind their defense. Don’t get us wrong, we are fans of Bruce Arians and think he is a FANTASTIC Coach. All those teams that passed on Arians certainly regret it as this is a gentleman that has the ability to win with essentially no quarterback play but has a defense that plays fantastic and more imoprtantly that plays for him. They believe in him and despite Carson Palmer behing out he has consistently coached up his players and they have done well. Having said all that, Seattle is rolling right now and this is when this team comes together. It’s one thing to beat a Rams team on the road who can be offensively challenged at times but this is Russell Wilson and the Seahawks who defeated Stanton and company at home by a wider margin than this so to think that they cannot do this to a Cardinals team on the road is not far from the truth. Note the Seahawks have beat a similar prototype team in the Niners both home and away comfortably so it is not that far of a cry to think they can’t do this once again here on the road. The Seahawks are one of the best teams in the nation in December for quite some time now and as they are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games in December, 4-1-1 ATS in their last 5 contests against the NFC West and at the end of the day, this game is huge for the Seahawks in order to get home field advantage as they can move to 11-4 and the Cardinals will move to 11-4 but the key is that the Seahawks would have swept them in the division.

PERFECT PLAY

Arizona will still need to fend off the Seahawks if they want to capture their division title. Fortunately for them, they will be playing their game against Seattle on their own home turf. Laying points on the road against a team with a great defense is not an easy task for any team and certainly not for a team built like the Seahawks. Though they have been through a string of injuries, Arizona has found ways to win. Look for emotions and inspiration to take this game to the next level by this Cardinal team. The game will not be Ryan Lindley's to win or lose. It will be inspired by the defense and creating TO's....AND the Points! TAKE ARIZONA

INNER CIRCLE---CHICAGO

The Bears have talent. Yet it is another lost season for the Bears, after they were blown out at home by the Saints. The Bears have a lot of nice pieces, but something is not working. Whether it is Jay Cutler's inconsistency and sassiness, the head coach's inexperience or high paid players throwing in the towel. But this Sunday, they want to beat the Detroit Lions at home where they have had zero success this season. Benching Cutler is a financial move for the off season so they do not want him injured. But the bears have some pride and they do not like Jay so this is their chance to play with added enthusiasm. TAKE CHICAGO

Buffalo will have to win their last two games and hope to get help from a couple of teams that are currently ahead of them in the AFC standings. The Bills come into this contest winners of three of their last four overall. The problem with that is they'll be more worried about other teams creating a path for them to the playoffs and forget about the focus on the field but on the scoreboard. And their slim playoff hopes may be finished by the time this late game is played which is a more realistic situation. They had their game of the year last week as they closed their home stand for the season with a huge win over the Packers. Look for them to come out flat. Tony Sporano has his team playing more competitive football and as a result the Raiders have won two of their last four. Rookie QB Derek Carr has been a nice addition and somebody the team hopes to build around in the future. Carr, a second round draft pick, has passed for 2900 yards and 18 touchdowns in the season. The Raiders also hit on first round pick, Khalil Mack, who might just be one of the best defensive players in football in his rookie season. The Bills are not a team that can lay points on the road.

Pick: 1.5 units on Minnesota +7 (-120) at bovada (http://www.bovada.lv/) (risk 1.5 to win 1.25)
Minnesota is still playing hard for their first-year, no-nonsense coach and playing better of late (3-0 ATS in their last three). They gave the first-place Lions all they could handle on the road last week in a 16-14 Detroit victory. Minnesota had the edge in yards 360-233 and held Detroit to 2-of-11 on third down. The Vikings are 4-0 ATS after a defeat and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games in December. They are a big dog to a Miami squad that is at a low point, dropping to third in the division after going 1-3 SU/ATS the last four games. The defense has given up 39, 28 and 41 points in the losses, and the only win was 16-13 over the punchless New York Jets. And, the Vikings have feasted this year vs. struggling pass defenses going 8-2 ATS vs. teams allwoing 61%+ completions. Miami's offense has been below average all season at #20 in passing and #14 in rushing. The Dolphins have been outscored 69-26 in the last two weeks. Miami has forced only five turnovers in six games and recorded six sacks in the last five. Miami's last five opponents have converted 51.5% (35 of 68) of their third-down chances. The Dolphins are 15-35-1 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record and 0-5 ATS in December. Take the generous points the Minnesota Vikings.


Game: Green Bay Packers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Pick: 1 unit on Game Total OVER 48.5 (-110) at Bookmaker (http://www.bookmaker.eu) (risk 1.0 to win 0.91)
Green Bay and QB Aaron Rodgers got shut down in frigid Buffalo last week. Think that will happen in sunny Tampa Bay? Not against a Buccaneers' defense that is #24 against the pass and #19 against the run, and #25 in points allowed (26.2 points per game). Rodgers will be motivated to atone for his worst ever outing as an NFL QB. Green Bay which is 8-3 to the OVER in their past eleven games is 4-0 OVER the total after a defeat and 7-1 OVER against the NFC. The Packers have a potent, balanced attack behind QB Rodgers (35 TDs, 5 INTs) ranked #8 in passing and #11 in rushing. The OVER is 12-5 in the Packers' last 17 road games. Tampa Bay will get behind early and have to throw all day long, which increases the chances of a high-scoring game, and they do have excellent wide receivers. Green Bay's defense is not stellar at #15 against the pass and #26 against the run. On the season, they are allowing 26 points per game on the road. The Bucs are giving up 26.2 per game and when they have faced a team with a winning record they are 5-2 OVER the total. This season, the Pack are 7-1 OVER when they face a bad defense like Tampa's (teams allowing 350+ yards per game). This one has all the makings of an offensive show. Play OVER the Total.

This is the toughest play this weekend, I know. Everything points to the Lions. But wait a second. A division rival is coming to town and Detroit is just 3-3 on the road. Should they really be laying over a touchdown here? The Lions are 2-7 ATS in their last nine on the road and 10-22-1 ATS on the road against a team with a losing home record. The Lions just played three straight home games and now head out on the road where they are 1-2 SU/0-3 ATS their last three road contests. Historically teams going on the road after three straigh at home really struggle to live up to expectations. Detroit plays indoors and the Lions are 1-5 ATS in December and 0-5 ATS on grass. Think the benching of Cutler here is a bad thing? Consider that he has 24 turnovers this season (ridiculous 1.7 per game) and is 45-72-2 ATS in his career NFL starts. Getting him out of the lineup is a good thing. The Detroit defense isn't as sharp away from home, resulting in a 7-1 mark OVER the total on the road against a team with a losing home record, plus they're 21-7-2 OVER the total after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game. Chicago is home and in a great situational spot, playing its third consecutive home game. Detroit's one weak spot is the secondary at #14 against the pass, and the Bears have a lot of talent in the passing game. Coach Mark Trestman did wonders with backup QB McCown a year ago (13 TDs, 1 pick) and now he gets to try it again with QB Jimmy Clausen. Chicago's defense is a weak spot and the Bears are on a 22-10 run OVER the total, as well as 9-4 OVER against the NFC. The home team is 6-2 ATS in their last eight meetings between these division rivals. And the Lions are one of the worst favorites in the NFL having gone 53-77 ATS in that role and 26-46 as a favorite in this range (-3.5 to -9.5). I look for the Bears to show some pride here at home vs. a division rival and get a little boost from the change at QB. Take the points on Chicago and play the OVER.


Game: Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints
Time: Sunday 12/21 1:00 PM Eastern
Pick: 1 unit on Atlanta +6.5 (-108) at BetOnline (http://www.betonline.ag/) (risk 1.0 to win 0.93)
Pick: 1 unit on Game Total UNDER 56 (-105) at 5dimes (http://www.5dimes.com/) (risk 1.0 to win 0.95)
At 5-9, the Falcons are somehow still in the hunt for a playoffs spot. The NFC South has been ultra soft this season, with no team stepping forward to take charge. The Falcons have been somewhat better lately after their 2-6 start and the defense, which is still pretty mediocre, has elevated its status over the last seven games. They did give up 43 points to Green Bay, but held the Pack to 12 second half points and almost came back to win. They have given up 27 or less in the other six - a vast improvement from giving up 28 or more in five of their first seven. New Orleans has not been the same lethal offense we have seen over the last several years as they have been slowly declining each year. Their 30-point regular season games per season have gone from 10, 8, 6, 4 and 3 this year with two games left. And, last week it got to 31 because the Bears went for it on their own 23 near the end of the game and the Saints punched it in on a short field. There is a lot at stake here, which usually means the defenses make some plays. The Falcons come into this game at 43-19-3 ATS in their last 65 after holding an opponent to less than 90 yards rushing. Atlanta has been the best of the bad teams in the NFC South, where they have a clean slate at 4-0. The Saints have lost their home mystique and magic, losing four straight here, and the points aren't coming as easy as they once did. Since 1992, New Orleans is 26-46-2 ATS at home vs. losing teams including 10-16 in the Drew Brees era. Under Mike Smith, Atlanta is at their best following a loss, going 27-15 ATS after a setback. Under Smith this team is also 18-6 UNDER as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points and 8-0 UNDER following back to back 400+ yard games. This is a lot of points in a meaningful division game. Play on Atlanta and the UNDER in this one.

Game: New England Patriots @ New York Jets
Time: Sunday 12/21 1:00 PM Eastern
Pick: 1.5 units on Game Total UNDER 47.5 (-115) at bovada (http://www.bovada.lv/) (risk 1.5 to win 1.30)
The Patriots have enjoyed as much success as anyone in recent years. But, they have had a lot of nightmares at MetLife, as they have dropped three of the last four meetings in New Jersey as a favorite. Three of the last four New England wins have come by 3 points or less as the Pats offense hasn't lived up to expectations. New England has scored fewer than 20 points in a game just 23 times since the start of the 2008 season, covering 119 games, but have failed to do so here in three of their last six trips to the Big Apple. I think the total is over-done in this one because this has been a tough out for the Pats for several years running. It seems the Jets, good or bad, save their best "A" game for the Patriots. The good news for New England is that their defense is playing very well, sepecially in games on turf this season where they have given up just 16.2 points per game. With New York's offense, I expect even less than that. The Jets have played to a 5-0 mark to the UNDER in their last five vs. the AFC. New York plays them tough, so take the UNDER.

Game: Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Pick: 1.5 units on Game Total UNDER 47.5 (-110) at Bookmaker (http://www.bookmaker.eu) (risk 1.5 to win 1.36)
The Pittsburgh Steelers have gotten another big year out of QB Ben Roethlisberger who has already thrown for more yards than any season in his career with two games still remaining. That will be put to the test in this one vs. the Kansas City Chiefs who have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL, allowing just 5.7 yards per attempt on the season to a schedule of teams that average 6.5. The Chiefs have a solid running game, so they will be putting the ball on the ground a lot to shorten the game, which keeps their defenders fresh and Big Ben and Antonio Brown off the field. The Steelers may decide to run it more themselves to try and loosen things up as the Chiefs are not nearly as good against a ground attack as they have been vs. quarerbacks. Overall, I think this becomes more of a ground war. If KC can seduce the Steelers into one, it is a game they can surely win by keeping the clock running and producing more on the ground, which is their game. That has been the plan with Alex Smith at QB who is 23-15 to the UNDER in his 38 career road starts, which includes 14-6 to the UNDER as a road dog. Alex Smith has produced an average score of 22.0-19.8 in all his road starts, which have had favorable results straight-up, and low-scoring as a whole. Since Mike Tomlin took over here, the Steelers are 8-1 UNDER after back-to-back-to-back 25+ point games and a perfect 6-0 UNDER in the final two weeks of the regular season. The Steelers have faced four good rushing teams this season (teams that average 4.5+ yards per carry) and they are 0-4 straight-up in those games. In his coaching career, Andy Reid has made a name for himself in pulling upsets when the line is short. In games where his team is a road dog of +230 or less, Reid is 31-25 straight-up. And he's 23-11 in all road games in December in his career. Take Kansas City on the moneyline and play the UNDER in this one.

Pick: 1 unit on Game Total OVER 41.5 (-105) at BetPhoenix (http://www.betphoenix.ag/) (risk 1.0 to win 0.95)
This is a low total for a Baltimore team with a strong, balanced offense. Baltimore is 4-1 OVER the total on the road and this game is indoors. For over a decade, Baltimore has been a much better team at home than on the road and the same is true in 2014 with a better home mark. The Ravens are 3-9-1 ATS against the AFC and 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games in December. They are a road favorite against a Houston team that has outscored its opponents by +47. Every other team in the NFL with that ratio or higher has a winning record! That's even better than the 10-4 Lions or 11-3 Cardinals. Houston is on a 3-1-1 ATS run and 6-2 ATS after a loss, with the fourth-best ground attack in the NFL. Houston's All-Pro DE J.J. Watt continues to terrorize opposing quarterbacks with seven sacks in the last three games, giving him 16 1/2 on the season to rank third in the league. This line is an over-reaction to the change at QB for Houston. Case Keenum started eight games for Houston last season and was decent. He won't be that big of a dropoff from Fitzpatrick and the line here doesn't reflect that. In addition, Houston is 4-1 OVER the total after a defeat and 26-10 to the OVER in their last 36 as a home dog. When these teams meet, the OVER is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Houston. Play the points on Houston and take the OVER.

Pick: 1.5 units on New York +6.5 (-110) at Bookmaker (http://www.bookmaker.eu) (risk 1.5 to win 1.36)
The St. Louis Rams were the talk of the NFL world 10 days ago as a young team with a ton of talent was off back-to-back wins of 76-0. The betting public was all over them against Arizona, but a funny thing happened. They not only failed to cover, they couldn't even win, losing 12-6 at home. St. Louis is still a last place team with a losing record. The problems run even deeper with an offense ranked #26 in the NFL in passing and #21 in rushing. The Rams have been hurt by injuries on their offensive line. Tackle Jake Long is out for the year with a knee injury. Left guard Rodger Saffold is at less than full strength with a nagging shoulder injury that will require offseason surgery. Injury-prone center Scott Wells is wearing a brace covering his left arm while right guard Davin Joseph is a journeyman. The line problems will be an issue against a resurgent Giants' pass rush that has produced 22 sacks in the last three weeks for a total of 41 - fourth-best in the NFL. The Rams are 4-9 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. The Giants' offense is #13 in the NFL in passing with an outstanding duo of QB Eli Manning and rookie WR Odell Beckham. Beckham caught 12 passes for 143 yards from Manning last Sunday with his first three-touchdown effort in a 24-13 home win over Washington. The Giants are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record and 6-0 ATS against the Rams. The Giants have outscored their last three opponents by an average of 28-15. Under Tom Coughlin, New York is 30-16 ATS off a home win and 19-5 ATS on the road following back-to-back ATS wins. Play on the NY Giants.

Game: Buffalo Bills @ Oakland Raiders
Time: Sunday 12/21 4:25 PM Eastern
Pick: 1 unit on Oakland +7 (-110) at Sportsbook.com (http://www.sportsbook.ag/) (risk 1.0 to win 0.91)
Last place Oakland is 2-2 straight-up the last four games, and are playing hard for likable players-coach Tony Sporano. They are 2-0 SU/ATS their last two home games and this is the home finale for 2014. The Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their last five following a loss as the lines get shaded on this disliked team. They face a Buffalo team that is just 3-3 on the road and 3,000 miles from home while crossing three time zones. Buffalo is a big road favorite, but is not a great offensive team at #19 in passing and #24 in rushing. They have been poor the last two road games, losing 24-17 at Denver and 22-9 at Miami. They come off an emotional win at home over Green Bay 21-13, but the Bills are 3-10 ATS after allowing fewer than 15 points in their previous game. Even in the win, QB Kyle Orton was just 14-of-27 for 158 yards and an INT while being sacked three times. Buffalo continues to be vulnerable on the ground, giving up 5.0 yards per carry and 10 TDs over their last eight. Buffalo has lost nine of 10 on the road against the Raiders since its last victory in Oakland on Nov. 24, 1966. The Bills are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings vs. Oakland, so look for an inspired effort by the home team. Take the Raiders.


Game: Indianapolis Colts @ Dallas Cowboys
Time: Sunday 12/21 4:25 PM Eastern
Pick: 1 unit on Indianapolis +3.5 (-110) at Bookmaker (http://www.bookmaker.eu) (risk 1.0 to win 0.91)
Dallas won a big game last week on the road at Philadelphia to take over the division lead, but it came with a huge price. DeMarco Murray suffered a broken hand and will need surgery. The Cowboys are trying to find a way to have him in the game, but how effective he can be remains to be seen, if he can even play. Murray has rushed for 1,687 yards on the season and he is one reason why Tony Romo has been effective as Dallas has finally established a running game, but that may not be the case Sunday vs. the 10-4 Colts. This has been a historically bad time of year for Dallas who is now 3-19-1 ATS from week 13 out as a non-division favorite, which includes 0-11 ATS off a win. Many forget Indianapolis is 10-2 in their last 12 games and even though they got the win last week 17-10, it was their lowest scoring offensive game of the season. That may sound like a bad thing, but since Andrew Luck has been around, the Colts offense does not stay down long as they are 13-0 ATS following a game where they scored less than 21 points since Luck took over. Dallas is 7-22 ATS in their last 29 games as a home favorite. Make the play on Indianapolis.


Game: Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals
Time: Sunday 12/21 8:30 PM Eastern
Pick: 1 unit on Arizona +9 (-115) at Sportsbook.com (http://www.sportsbook.ag/) (risk 1.0 to win 0.87)
Whoa an 11-3 team is a home underdog of more than a touchdown. What?!? After a lackluster 3-3 start to the season, the Seattle Seahawks have come to life, at least on the defensive side of the ball. They have allowed just 27 points in their last four games. That in and of itself will have a lot of bettors on Seattle in this game. But as good as those numbers sound, there have been six teams over the last 25 years in the NFL that held opponents to less than 34 points over their last four games and they proceeded to go 1-5 ATS if they were a road favorite against a winning team. The reason? Overreaction and line value. Sure, Seattle is the better team here, but this is too many points for an 11-3 team to be receiving at home. Seattle has also scored 24 or less points in their last five games which makes it hard to cover such a large number here, especially on the road vs. one the NFLs best defenses. If the above history pans out and Seattle scores 20 or fewer points, teams as road favorites of more than 7 in that situation are 10-80 ATS! The Cards are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as a home dog of more than 7.5. From week 14 on, there have been just 65 home dogs of a touchdown or more. The home dogs in those games are 42-20-3 against the number. Make the play on Arizona.

Underdogs, same or less rest than opponent, were DD Faves in last game but shot .271-.326 from the field, winning or losing by less than 10. These teams are 0-18 SU/ATS and the most recent one was Michigan getting blown out @ Arizona a few days ago. PLAY ON MONTANA -6.

Explanation for yesterdays system: Duration of San Antonio vs Portland game Friday, according to NBA.com stats: 3:07 (`187 minutes). Game started at 8:00 PM and ended at 11:07 PM. It is about total duration of the game.Example, last night there were 7 games in NBA and their duration was between 1:57:00 and 2:14:00. So, we were supposed to go UNDER on both teams after that long game.

Complimentary NBA Pick for December 21st, 2014

Game: Memphis Grizzlies @ Cleveland Cavaliers
Time: Sunday 12/21 4:35 PM Eastern
Pick: Memphis +4 (-105) at 5Dimes

Memphis is a handful for any team to face, ninth in the NBA in scoring and fifth in points allowed. The Grizzlies are 8-2 ATS when playing on one day of rest, plus 8-3 ATS against a team with a winning record. While Memphis is seventh in the NBA in field goal shooting defense, Cleveland still has problems on defense allowing 47% shooting (26th). They also rank 16th in points allowed. The Cavs are 7-0 at home when LeBron James scores more than 22 points compared to 2-5 when he doesn't, and if anyone can stop or slow down King James it's this Memphis defense. Cleveland is on an 0-6 ATS run, 0-5 ATS in their last five home games. The Grizzlies have won five of six against the Cavs, and the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings between these teams. Play Memphis!

Sunday NFL Comp Pick
December 21st 2014

Cowboys -3.5 over Colts
Forget about the magnitude of this football game for one second. The Colts come into this game missing their starting right guard and right tackle, with their center and left guard being rookies on the road. Offensive Lines mean everything to a quarterback. Take the 5 best QB’s in the league and put them on a bad offensive line and they will lose their household name title real quick. Dallas is a better football team right now riding a huge emotional wave. The Eagles lost last night and this team can wrap things up at home with a win today. Dallas has their own O-Line issues, but this unit has been solid for the most part this year and running the football will be their bread and butter today. I am not worried about Murray and his hand today, I think he will be fine as he is a man on a mission. There is no answer for Dez Bryant right now and I believe the Cowboys wrap up the NFC East today. Take Dallas.

NHL

Game: Dallas Stars @ Edmonton Oilers
Time: Sunday 12/21 6:05 PM Eastern
Pick: 1 unit on Edmonton +130 (moneyline) at Sportsbook.com (http://www.sportsbook.ag/) (risk 1.0 to win 1.30)
The Dallas Stars are a road favorite not because of who they are, but because they face a last place opponent. But Dallas is a .500 team and an awful defensive one, one of the worst in the NHL. Dallas ranks 30th in goals allowed (3.3 per game) and 17th in penalty killing. This is the end of a three-game road trip for Dallas, so it's not a good situational spot to be a road favorite. The Stars are 4-9 against a team with a losing record. Edmonton changed coaches and is actually playing better for interim coach Todd Nelson. A pair of one-goal losses since Monday's firing of coach Dallas Eakins has shown Edmonton remains competitive. Of their seven wins, five have come at home, and they have a good shot to add to that against this bad and road weary Dallas defense. Play Edmonton.


Game: Buffalo Sabres @ Boston Bruins
Time: Sunday 12/21 7:05 PM Eastern
Pick: 1 unit on Boston -295 (moneyline) at Bookmaker (http://www.bookmaker.eu) (risk 1.0 to win 0.34)
Boston is getting healthier and comes home from a three-game trip, picking up a win Minnesota, 3-2, as a +120 dog. They get to face a bad Buffalo team that has lost two in a row by a combined 10-2 count. Buffalo ranks 30th in goals scored, 26th in goals allowed, and 30th on the power play. The Sabres are 11-40 in their last 51 road games. Buffalo played last night and lost 5-1 at home to Colorado while Boston is working on a day of rest. The Sabres are without Tyler Myers, who departed Saturday with a lower-body injury. Patrick Kaleta left with an illness and won't travel to Boston while Matt Moulson is also sick and missed Saturday's game. The Bruins are 40-17 in their last 57 home games. The Bruins opened the season series with two victories in Buffalo, and they've gone 5-1-1 with 3.71 goals per game versus the Sabres since the beginning of last season. The Sabres are 4-10 in the last 14 meetings in Boston, so grab home ice. Play Boston.


Game: Philadelphia Flyers @ Winnipeg Jets
Time: Sunday 12/21 9:05 PM Eastern
Pick: 1 unit on Game Total UNDER 5 (+135) at BetPhoenix (http://www.betphoenix.ag/) (risk 1.0 to win 1.35)
Philadelphia is focused on playing better defense, on a 10-6 run UNDER the total. This is the start of an eight-game road trip, and the Flyers are 3-1 UNDER the total their last four away games where the offense struggles. The UNDER is also 5-2-1 when the Flyers face the Western Conference. They face a defensive-minded Winnipeg team that slows the pace down, ranked fourth in the NHL in goals allowed, though 23rd in goals scored. But it works as Winnipeg seeks a third consecutive victory as it completes a four-game homestand. The UNDER is 7-3 when the Jets play the Eastern Conference. They come off a 2-1 win over Boston as new defenseman Jay Harrison chipped in, acquired by the Jets in a trade with Carolina on Thursday. When these teams meet, the UNDER is 3-1-1, and this has all the makings of a defensive battle. Play Philadelphia/Winnipeg UNDER the total.
