NFL Football

305 Washington Redskins +5½: No RG III, but let’s remember that the Falcons are just as bad and giving a big number here.

326 Carolina Panthers -10: Geno Smith is back to being the Bad Geno against a tough Panthers defense. Expect turnovers to make this one a laugher.

329 Green Bay Packers +6½: With Aaron Rodgers missing another game not many are giving the Packers a shot. We believe they keep things simple, run a lot and keep it close.

NFL Football

305 Washington Redskins +6: The Skins in bad shape but may find a way to rebound on the road as they have gone 9-0 ATS as dogs if 4 or more points when facing a team under .500 that is not in their division.

310 Tennessee Titans +3: Titans have stunk in division play but when playing outside of the AFC South the have gone 5-0 SU and ATS.

311 New Orleans Saint -6: Saints one of the best on the road in the NFL as they have gone 15-5 when meeting a losing team.

320 Jacksonville Jaguars +3: The Jags are really playing much better and they catch the Bills who have gone 1-9 ATS as a road favorite when coming off a loss.

322 Miami Dolphins -1: We look for the fist to win this game straight up as they have gone 6-0-1 as a home dog in their last 7 in that situation.

This Week's Totals

7-Unit Play Take 'Over' 42.5 Buffalo at Jacksonville (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 15)
Note: This is our NFL Total of the Year
I know, this one seems a bit random. But when bad teams get together late in the year like this, chaos generally ensues. Look no further than Jacksonville's game at Cleveland two weeks ago, which was a scoring bonanza (32-28). I think that this one could be a similar result. Since its bye, the Jaguars have been a different team. They have been tough over the last five weeks, winning four games. They have also gone over the total in five of their last six games. Chad Henne isn't playing particularly well right now. But he's working the offense and proving to be a capable veteran hand. And the Jaguars are doing some nice things on that side of the ball. They have averaged a solid 23 points per game in their last five games and 30 points in their last two games. They are scoring. And I think that can continue. They are No. 31 in the NFL in yards per point at 18.4 YPP. That number is an outlier and should normalize a bit over the last three weeks. (The league average is around 15.5.) And to do that will require some games like last week when they posted a 10.4 YPP.

It's a similar story with the Bills. They should have gone 'over' the total last week in that game against Tampa Bay. They posted a YPP of 35.5, which is comical. E.J. Manuel was having problems with an expanded playbook so they are going to simplify things for him this week. And I think that the Bills will be a lot more focused and productive. Buffalo has been doing good work on that side of the ball, scoring a combined 68 points in their two games prior to last week's six-point dud. Further, the Bills have played one of the most difficult schedules, in terms of opposing defnees faced, of any team in the NFL this year. Just about every week they have been going up against a team ranked in the Top 10 or Top 12 in total or scoring defense. And they have handled themselves pretty well, scoring 20 or more points in seven of their last 11 games. And this week should feel like being let out of jail having to go up against a Jaguars defense yielding nearly 30 points per game.

Sunday Night Football betting: Bengals at Steelers

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers (+1.5, 41.5)

The Cincinnati Bengals are on the verge of clinching their second straight AFC North title and third straight postseason berth. All they need to do is get a little help and knock off the stumbling Steelers when they visit Pittsburgh on Sunday night. The Bengals are riding a three-game winning streak and need another victory and a loss or tie by either the Baltimore Ravens or the Miami Dolphins to lock up a postseason slot.

Pittsburgh is technically still alive in the AFC, though at three games below .500 it would require three straight wins and lots and lots of help. “We understand the ramifications of what happened (to our playoff chances), but it really doesn’t change our plan of what we want to do this week - defeat the Cincinnati Bengals,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told the media. Pittsburgh dropped its last two games by a combined eight points against teams fighting for postseason spots and can look back at missed opportunities in each.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC.

LINE:The Steelers opened +2.5 and are now +1.5. The total opened 40.5 and is up 1-point.

WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-20s with a chance of snow. Wind will blow across the field at 13 mph.

ABOUT THE BENGALS (9-4): Cincinnati could wind up with a first-round bye if it can clinch the division and make up a game on the New England Patriots in the last three weeks. Andy Dalton is enjoying his best season and is coming off a three-touchdown, no-interception performance in last week’s 42-28 victory over the AFC South-leading Indianapolis Colts. Dalton is getting plenty of help from the two-headed running attack of BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Giovani Bernard, who combined for 147 yards on the ground last week while adding to the passing game as well.

ABOUT THE STEELERS (5-8): Pittsburgh nearly pulled off a spectacular victory over the Miami Dolphins last week with a series of laterals on the final play that ended with Antonio Brown in the end zone. Replays revealed that Brown had nicked the sideline on his way to the goal line, leaving the Steelers with a 34-28 setback and a very hard road to the playoffs. With Pittsburgh on the way down and the Bengals on the way up, some Steelers players are taking shots at Cincinnati. “I don’t think there’s a lot of respect for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Cincinnati,” Steelers safety Ryan Clark told the Bengals media. “I don’t think they necessarily understand the history, or know the history, nor care about it.”

TRENDS:

* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Pittsburgh.
* Favorite is 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings.
* Bengals are 5-0 ATS in their last five games in December.
* Under is 13-4 in Steelers last 17 home games.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. The Bengals have taken each of the last two meetings, including a 20-10 triumph in Week 2.

2. Brown needs 10 catches to become the second receiver in Pittsburgh history to reach 100 in a season (Hines Ward, 112).

3. Bernard leads all AFC rookies with 1,023 yards from scrimmage.
