Ugly 1-3 -1140 yesterday still on a 19-5 run and +8800 this year.

2-Unit Play. #822 Take USC (-2) over Dayton (7 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 30)

Granted it is always dangerous to take the Trojans but they have talent and will overcome their coaching deficiencies tonight against a mid-major program at the Galen Center. The Flyers had a long trip to LA with some weather issues and thus expect USC to jump on them early and maintain the lead for 40 minutes. Dayton is 6-19 ATS (1 push) in their last 27 games played on Sunday. Take the short favorite here.

Jets at Bills: Both teams are out of the playoffs so motivation must be questioned. It’s been a disappointing season for both as each was a popular preseason choice to be playing in January. The Bills are more likely to make a coaching change so their level of preparation may be less than at midseason levels. The Jets should be giving backup QB Greg McElroy a second straight start. That might just be enough of an edge to back the visitors. JETS.

Dolphins at Patriots: New England may rest some players especially if expected to be the AFC’s third seed and not have a bye next week. Miami has shown progress behind rookie QB Ryan Tannehill and a new coaching staff. Although New England did lost its last home games against San Francisco, HC Bill Belichick sees the big picture and will not be concerned with factors that do not have a positive impact on his team’s chances of returning to the Super Bowl. DOLPHINS.

Ravens at Bengals: This game may decided the AFC North title and a wild card at home next week if the Ravens lost to the Giants and the Bengals upset the Steelers. Baltimore is already in the playoffs but the Bengals may not be. Baltimore waxed Cincy at home to open the season and the Bengals have a chance for meaningful revenge. Baltimore’s age and injury issues may have them resting players since they will be in action next week regardless of the venue. Cincinnati should have the greater send of urgency. BENGALS.

Browns at Steelers: Cleveland has long known its 2012 season ends after this game although there was steady overall improvement over the second half of the season. Last week’s results may have eliminated the Steelers from the playoffs but a win over Cincinnati should have kept those hopes alive. Both teams have been more consistent on defense and the Steelers are less likely to take risks on offense, having the better and more experienced talent. UNDER.

Texans at Colts: This game could be meaningless for one or both teams. Both were favored last week and a Colts win clinched a Wild Card whereas a Texans win gave Houston the top overall AFC seed. Both teams may give their starters limited action which could be a benefit for developing playoff depth. If such is the case we could see a sloppily played game with turnovers depressing scoring chances. UNDER.

Jaguars at Titans: Both teams are ending disappointing seasons, neither of which comes as a surprise given preseason expectations. The Jags have dealt with key personnel losses and may have the top draft choice next spring. Tennessee has the more talented roster and is playing to avenge an earlier loss to the Jags, one of only two wins Jacksonville has recorded. TITANS.

Eagles at Giants: This disappointing season for Philly comes to an end here and with it likely the long coaching tenure of Andy Reid. If the Giants won at Baltimore on Sunday they clinch a playoff spot with a win here. The Giants are accustomed to winning late season games but even if they’ve been eliminated for the playoffs are more likely to give the better effort, especially since losing to Philly earlier. GIANTS.

Cowboys at Redskins: This game most likely decides the NFC East title. Dallas seeks to avenge its Thanksgiving Day home loss to the Redskins. Washington had won and covered five straight heading to Philadelphia last week and they’ve got two excellent rookie quarterbacks. A Dallas win over the Saints will have done more to erase the memories of prior December failures. The selection is based on that result. If Dallas beat New Orleans, the play is COWBOYS. If not, then REDSKINS.

Bears at Lions: A win at Arizona may have Chicago still alive for the playoffs but a loss has them playing for little other than pride. The Lions have been out of the playoffs for some time but might be motivated to knock off their long time rivals and avenge a 13-7 loss from October. Detroit does have the better offense and the defense is healthier. LIONS.

Packers at Vikings: This game might have meaning for both teams although a loss at Houston last week should have eliminated the Vikings from the playoffs. Green Bay may have a shot at a first round bye. The Vikes will be eager for RB Adrian Peterson to add to his impressive rushing totals and make a case for his being league MVP. UNDER.

Bucs at Falcons: Atlanta may rest players, especially if they wrapped up the top NFC seed last week. Tampa Bay has played hard all season and will be a chic team to back as new HC Greg Schiano has turned around the team’s culture. Tampa should again play hard and would like to avenge last month’s tough 24-23 home loss to the Falcons. BUCS.

Panthers at Saints: Both are out of the playoffs but each has played well over the latter half of the season. Carolina QB Cam Newton has overcome a sluggish start. New Orleans QB Drew Brees had a few bad games in tossing interceptions but still has compiled impressive stats. This should be a wide open game between a pair of teams capable of scoring quickly. OVER.

Chiefs at Broncos: Denver may need a win here to secure the 2 seed for the playoffs. Kansas City’s turbulent and challenging season comes to an end. The offense has been a no-show since the end of September, averaging less than 11 ppg for the 10 games prior to last week against the Colts. The defense has played reasonably well during this same stretch. Denver should be more concerned with shortening this game and staying healthy, meaning fewer possessions. UNDER.

Raiders at Chargers: This long time rivalry has little meaning as both teams close out disappointing seasons. Neither team will even sniff a .500 record and each may have new coaches for 2013. The teams have combined for just 9 wins yet ironically both upset Pittsburgh and swept Kansas City. Oakland seems to be the healthier of the two teams and should be getting points. RAIDERS.

Cards at 49ers: San Francisco may need this game to clinch the NFC West title and possibly the 2 seed as well. Arizona is ending a disappointing season that had a promising 4-0 beginning. 49ers HC Jim Harbaugh’s mentality is to not let his team take weeks off and we may see Alex Smith get extended works. The line may actually be reasonable, especially if the Niners’ playoff seeding is known prior to kickoff. 49ERS.

Rams at Seahawks: Seattle may have already clinched a playoff spot by kickoff. St. Louis has had a better than expected season under new HC Jeff Fisher and prospects for the future are bright as the team adds depth. Seattle was a perfect 6-0 both SU and ATS at home prior to last week’s showdown with SF. There’s a chance the Seahawks may rest players if playing a wild card game. UNDER.

Sunday, Dec. 30

Jaguars at Titans: The Jags defeated the Titans in Jacksonville a few weeks ago. It’s been a bleak season for both clubs. Both teams are somewhere between mediocre and terrible. But one of the Jags 2 wins this season was against the Titans not too long ago. I will take the Jags plus whatever points the Bookmaker feels generous enough to give me. JAGUARS.

Packers at Vikings: The Packers have clinched and the Vikings are still clawing away. The Pack has injuries on both sides of the ball. Pass protection could be an issue. VIKINGS.

Panthers (NL) at Saints: Both teams have made big time recoveries during the course of the season. The Saints lost their first 4 then made a comeback, only to fade away in the last month. The Panthers never showed up this year until the last 3 or 4 weeks. I’m not sure which good or bad team will show up in the finale so I have to back the home team. SAINTS.

Jets at Bills: Buffalo has agreed to a 10-year lease with the state and county to continue playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium. $130 million will be committed to upgrading the old Orchard Park digs. This deal locks the Bills into Buffalo for the next 7 seasons. Poor Buffalo fans will have to continue to suffer watching the poor play. But at least they’ll suffer under better conditions. Who knows how long Jets fans will have to put up with the Tebow-Sanchez-Ryan circus. BILLS.

Dolphins at Patriots: Except for the one hiccup versus the Niners the Pats have been playing as well as anyone in the league. I believe Belichick will want as much momentum as possible as they gear up for the Lombardi Trophy chase. PATRIOTS.

Ravens at Bengals: The Bengals might have a playoff berth to play for here. The Ravens are already in the money games but appear to be busted with key injuries. There’s no doubt the Ravens are feeling lucky to even make the playoffs. No sense in risking further injuries if you’re John Harbaugh. BENGALS.

Browns at Steelers: I’m predicting neither team will have much to play for in this game. But even if I’m right, these 2 teams can’t stand each other so I think they’ll be some hard hitting. Tomlin demands it and the Browns will be trying to impress their new owner. BROWNS.

Texans at Colts: Texans just beat the Colts by 12 a couple weeks ago. They need to keep their momentum in high gear if they’re going to dream about reaching the Super Bowl. TEXANS.

Eagles at Giants: The marathon Andy Reid death march comes to an end here. I believe his players will give an all out effort to give him a chance to go out a winner. The G-men will definitely need the game so we should be able to grab a bunch of points in this contest. EAGLES.

Cowboys at Skins: There aren’t too many teams hotter than the Skins the last month. Whether it’s RGIII or Kirk Cousins, the Shanahans seem to be pressing all the right buttons. But since the Skins upset the Cowboys in Dallas, the Cowboys have been clutch – especially quarterback Tony Romo. This should be a huge game for both teams and I’ll take what may be the visiting underdog. COWBOYS.

Bears at Lions: There aren’t many teams playing worse than da Bears. However, the Lions are one of them. Detroit could wipe away a smidgeon of the humiliating, underachieving season. LIONS.

Bucs at Falcons: Two clubs going in opposite directions of late. But I’m taking the dog because I think there will be more than a few bonus points built into the public’s love of playoff bound teams. BUCS.

Raiders at Chargers: If this isn’t Norv Turner’s swan song, Chargers fans should be bolting to the stadium with their Oust Turner picket signs. Ironically, Turner will probably win his last game! CHARGERS.

Cards at 49ers: Funny thing about the NFL, some teams can put great rosters together and some have no clue. The Niners have 2 QBS to pick from that could start. The Cards have 3 on their roster and you wouldn’t want any one of them to start. 49ERS.

Rams at Seahawks: Rams have the potential to play rough in tough games like they’ve shown this season in games against the 49ers and this Seattle team. RAMS.

Chiefs at Broncos: I don’t think Peyton Manning will be taking any time off here. The Chiefs haven’t had much to cheer about all season and they shouldn’t get too excited here. BRONCOS.
