Titans at Browns 10/22/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions

by Eddie

Latest Odds : TEN -5.5 Total 46.5

In week seven NFL football action, the Tennessee Titans will invade FirstEnergy Stadium to tackle the Cleveland Browns. The Titans have split their first six games overall and are currently in a first place tie with Jacksonville atop the AFC South Division standings. On Monday night, Tennessee scored 21 fourth quarter points to rally for a 36-22 home victory versus Indianapolis. Marcus Mariota returned from a hamstring injury to throw for 306 yards and a touchdown.

Through six games, Tennessee ranks 17th in total offense and is scoring 24.3 points on average. Cleveland is improved on defense, ranking 8th in yards allowed and giving up 26.2 points per game.


It is becoming another lost season for the Cleveland Browns, who have dropped their first six games overall. On Sunday, Cleveland trailed by 30 points entering the final quarter before adding two scores late during a 33-17 loss at Houston. The Browns managed just 247 yards of total offense and turned the ball over three times on the afternoon. Cleveland RB Isaiah Crowell rushed 12 times for 58 yards in a losing effort.

For the season, Cleveland ranks 25th in total offense and their 15.7 points per game output is second worst in the league. Tennessee counters with a defense that ranks 17th in yards allowed and surrenders 27.8 points per contest.


Recent Betting Trends:
Tennessee is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games on the road.
Tennessee is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games when playing on the road against Cleveland.
Cleveland is 2-10 ATS in its last 12 games at home.
The total has gone OVER in 7 of Tennessee's last 10 games on the road.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Cleveland's last 5 games at home.


Free Betting Pick: Cleveland Browns +5.5


Tennessee rookie WR Corey Davis (hamstring) missed Monday night’s game and could be held out through the Week 8 bye. The Titans are the better team, but Mariota’s injury prevents him from being a dual threat. Look for the Browns to keep this close and cover the number on Sunday. Final Score Prediction, Tennessee Titans win but fall short ATS 24-23.

by Eddie

Jacksonville has split their first six games overall and is currently in a tie with Houston for the AFC South Division lead. On Sunday, the Jaguars allowed two special teams touchdowns during a 27-17 home loss versus the Los Angeles Rams. Rookie RB Leonard Fournette rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown in a losing effort.

Through six games, Jacksonville ranks 17th in total offense and is scoring 26 points on average. The Colts are one of the worst defenses in the league, ranking 30th in yards allowed and surrendering a league worst 32.5 points per game.

Jacksonville is 4-21 SU in its last 25 games on the road.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Jacksonville's last 5 games when playing on the road against Indianapolis.
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Indianapolis's last 8 games at home.


Free Betting Pick: Indianapolis Colts +3


Jacksonville RB Leonard Fournette is listed as questionable with an ankle injury, but is reportedly expected to play.

Final Score Prediction, Indianapolis Colts win and cover ATS 23-20.

Ravens at Vikings 10/22/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions

by Adam

Latest Odds : MIN -5.5 Total 39.5

There's already a feeling that Baltimore (3-3) is losing its grip on the AFC North, and the Steelers could run away with it. The Ravens dropped a disappointing game last week to Chicago, with an overtime field goal making the difference.

The last four weeks have been miserable for Joe Flacco, who has thrown just one touchdown pass and six interceptions over that span. His decline is discouraging for Baltimore, who doesn't have a good backup plan and is weak at multiple other positions. Flacco's 66.1 passer rating is by far the worst mark of his career.

One issue for Flacco and the team is a lack of talent to target in the passing game. So far, no Ravens receiver has reached 250 receiving yards. Mike Wallace leads the bunch, with 239 yards and a touchdown.


Minnesota (4-2) has rolled to three wins in its last four games, including last week's over Green Bay. That was a devastating game for the Packers, who lost the result and their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. With Minnesota and Green Bay tied at 4-2 in the NFC North, the door looks wide open for the Vikings.

Case Keenum has done a solid job behind center for Minnesota. In the second week against Tampa Bay, Keenum threw for 369 yards and three touchdowns.

Keenum's favorite target has been Adam Thielen, who has reeled 38 catches for 489 yards. The former Minnesota Golden Gopher, who had 967 yards last season, will look to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career.


Recent Betting Trends:
Ravens are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.
Vikings are 23-7 ATS in their last 30 games on fieldturf.
Under is 3-0-1 in Ravens last 4 games in Week 7.
Under is 5-0 in Vikings last 5 games in October.


Free Betting Pick: Baltimore Ravens +5.5


After tough OT loss last week it's Ravens bouncing back with great defensive performance this week. Helping out Baltimore is the poor QB play of the Vikings back-up QB as Keenum just doesn't have the accuracy or mobility to get it done against pressure Ravens defense. Final Score Prediction, Baltimore Ravens win outright as underdog but grab the points just in case 17-16.

[bmd1803]

Jets at Dolphins 10/22/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions

by Mike

Latest Odds : MIA -3 Total 38.5
The New York Jets (3-3) had won three games in a row before losing a narrow one last week against New England. New York lost a controversial call and fell, 24-17. The AFC East is bunched up, with every team at .500 or better.

One perpetual issue for the Jets is an inability to consistently run the ball. That showed against the Patriots, as no New York rusher had more than 22 yards rushing. As a group, they carried the ball for just 3.1 yards per carry.

Josh McCown has been solid behind center for the Jets this season, but costly takeaways have doomed New York in a couple of games. McCown threw for 354 yards and a pair of scores against New England, but he also was picked off twice.


Miami (3-2) has won back-to-back games behind tough defense. Despite the success, it likely makes fans wonder if this could have been a special year with Ryan Tannehill behind center. Instead of Tannehill, of course, the Dolphins have snapped the ball to Jay Cutler, who has completed 61.6 percent of his passes for 857 yards and five touchdowns. At best, he's been a savvy game manager.

Running back Jay Ajayi had his best output in any game so far this season against Atlanta last week. He carried the ball 26 times for 130 yards and 5.0 yards per carry. Ajayi gets a lot of attention without a strong passing attack in Miami, and each yard is hard-earned in 2017.


Recent Betting Trends:
Jets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games in October.
Jets are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games on grass.
Under is 8-2-1 in Jets last 11 games following a straight up loss.
Under is 5-0 in Dolphins last 5 games on grass.


Free Betting Pick: NY Jets +3


This Jets team has been the biggest surprise of this NFL season and once again New York gets it done as underdog. Only a bad call kept Jets from pulling monster upset last week - but New York did cover ATS taking them to 4-2 ATS on the season. Final Score Prediction, New York Jets win and cover ATS 23-20.

[bmd1803]

Cardinals at Rams 10/22/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions
by Mike

Latest Odds : LAR -3.5 Total 47.5

The Arizona Cardinals (3 - 3) are heading overseas this week in order to take on the Los Angeles Rams (4 - 2). Los Angeles is 'hosting' this game at Twickenham Stadium in London but both teams will have the crowd rallying behind them. St Louis is coming off of a nice win over Jacksonville while Arizona just scored a big win over Tampa Bay. This is an important game for the NFC West standings.

Arizona is riding high off of a big win and the return of their ground game. Adrian Peterson, recently acquired from New Orleans, rumbled for 134 yards and a pair of scores last week against Tampa Bay. Arizona has now won two of their past three games. Arizona is averaging just 20 PPG on offense this year but we expect that number to improve with the addition of a real rushing attack.


Los Angeles has easily been one of the more surprising teams this season thanks to the evolution of QB Jared Goff (1,484 yards, 8 TD, 3 INT). Goff and the Rams have been putting up points in droves while actually playing decent defensively. Los Angeles is scoring 30 PPG on offense this year thanks to a well-rounded offense with a revitalized Todd Gurley (521 yards, 4 TDs). Los Angeles is giving up 23 PPG to opposing teams so far this season. Los Angeles and Arizona are built in much the same way.


Recent Betting Trends:
Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.
Rams are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.
Over is 7-2 in Cardinals last 9 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
Over is 5-1 in Rams last 6 vs. NFC.


Free Betting Pick: Los Angeles Rams -3.5


Not a fan of the way this Cardinals team has played overall and even last weeks win can't change our mind. Think Arizona offense on the road will struggle to keep up with high scoring Rams offense. Too much balance offense from Rams as LA wins by double digits. Final Score Prediction, LA Rams win and cover ATS 27-17.

Saints at Packers 10/22/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions

by Adam

Latest Odds : NO -6 Total 47.5

The New Orleans Saints (3 -2, 2 - 1 Away) are hitting the road in order to take on the hometown Green Bay Packers (4 - 2, 3 - 0 Home). Green Bay will be taking to Lambeau Field a week after losing star QB Aaron Rodgers for potentially the rest of the season due to a broken collarbone. New Orleans comes into this game off of a hard fought win over Detroit. Both teams need to start racking up victories to make a playoff run.

New Orleans will be visiting Green Bay with one of the best offensive units in all of football. New Orleans is averaging 29 PPG so far this season thanks to an incredible year by Drew Brees (1,321 yards, 10 TD, 2 INT). Brees has been on fire this season and the growth of the New Orleans running game has made everything so much easier. New Orleans is struggling defensively, however, as the Saints are surrendering 23 PPG to opposing squads this year.


Green Bay will be relying on a back up QB to take over on a short week in this contest. Green Bay will likely limit their playbook and lean heavily on their running game, including new lead back Aaron Jones (215 yards, 2 TDs). Green Bay was scoring 25 PPG as a team this year but that number is going to take a nosedive without Rodgers in the line up.


Recent Betting Trends:
Saints are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games in Week 7.
Packers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games on grass.
Over is 5-2 in Saints last 7 games in Week 7.
Over is 4-1 in Packers last 5 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game.


Free Betting Pick: New Orleans Saints -6


The Packers have decided to stick with back-up QB Hundley instead of trying to acquire a veteran to replace injured superstar Aaron Rodgers - spells big trouble this week. This Saints team would have been tough for Packers to beat with healthy Rodgers as New Orleans offense is on fire right now. Final Score Prediction, New Orleans Saints win and cover ATS 30-20.

Seahawks at Giants 10/22/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions

by Mike

Latest Odds : SEA -6 Total 38.5

The Giants finally got a win after five straight losses. Whether they can keep that momentum going will be the question when the host Seattle next weekend. The Giants are 1-5 and did better on offense last weekend. Seattle hs now on tow straight and is 3-2, keeping pace in the NFC West.

The Seahawks have been playing good defense, holding opponents to 17.4 points per game while scoring 22 per game. Seattle is close to the average on offense, averaging 228 yards passing and 109 yards rushing. The Seahawks have had some injuries, especially on the offensive line.


The Giants are next to last in the league in scoring, averaging 17.2 points, and giving up 22 per game. The Giants have been reeling, and the loss of Odel Beckham Jr., has not helped. Eli Manning has passed for 1466 yards, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions. Orleans Darkwa lead the team in rushing with 239 yards, and he has the only two touchdowns the Giants have on the ground through six games.

Giants coach Ben McAdoo let offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan call the plays last Sunday, and that seemed to boost the Giants' offense in yardage if not on the scoreboard. The Giants scored 23, and New York has scored between 22 and 24 each of the last four games.

Seattle is led by Russell Wilson who has 1222 yards passing, eight touchdowns and three interceptions. Chris Carson has rushed for 208 yards, and Wilson has run for 154. The Seahawks have two rushing touchdowns and have given up four.


Recent Betting Trends:
Seahawks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.
Giants are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games in Week 7.
Over is 5-0 in Seahawks last 5 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game.
Under is 4-1 in Giants last 5 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game.


Free Betting Pick: Seattle Seahawks -6


The Giants surprised everyone to get first win last week but don't think New York in short week will be able to repeat that game plan. Seahawks great defense will smother Manning and Giants as Seattle wins easy. Final Score Prediction, Seattle Seahawks win and cover ATS 26-16.

Cowboys at 49ers 10/22/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions
by Adam

Latest Odds : DAL -6 Total 47

The 49ers are winless, but they have had a lot of close games, so it may be a matter of time before they get that first win. San Francisco hosts the 2-3 Dallas Cowboys this week, and the Cowboys have had their own struggles, losing the last two games. San Francisco has lost by three or fewer points in each of the last five games, losing them all by a combined 13 points.

The Cowboys have struggled more on the defensive end lately, giving up 35 points in each of the last two games, both of which were losses. Dallas is ninth in the league in scoring at 25 points per game, but next to last on defense, giving up 26.4 per game.


Ezekiel Elliot is averaging 30 fewer yards per game, and has just two touchdowns through five games, as opposed to five at this time last year. He has still rushed for 393 yards. Dak Prescott has passed for 1192 yards and 11 touchdowns. Dez Bryand has 264 yards and three touchdowns receiving. Whether Elliot will be available remains to be seen as his suspension was upheld, and will now be reviewed again.

The 49ers are averaging 226 yards passing and 94 rushing. The team is scoring 18.8 points per game and giving up 24.3. Brian Hoyer has passed for 1245 yards and four touchdowns with four interceptions. Carlos Hyde has run for 360 yards, and Pierre Garcon has 434 yards receiving. The 49ers have scored five times passing, and have given up nine passing touchdowns.


Recent Betting Trends:
Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in Week 7.
49ers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
Under is 12-3 in Cowboys last 15 road games.
Over is 5-1 in 49ers last 6 games in October.


Free Betting Pick: San Francisco 49ers +6


This Cowboys team looks like it will be without superstar RB Ezekial Elliott and that makes this game very close. Bad defense of Dallas allows young 49ers to keep their great ATS record going (4-2 ATS). Final Score Prediction, Dallas Cowboys win ugly game but fall short ATS 26-24.

Broncos at Chargers 10/22/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions

by Jim

Latest Odds : LAC -1.5 Total 42.5

Denver is coming off of a stunning loss to the Giants in what was a game the Broncos were supposed to be able to win. The Broncos have been a decent team all around this year as they have been able to score a total of 21 points a game, but the defense for the Broncos is giving up 19 points a game.

The Broncos running attack needs to get started as the Broncos are led in the rushing by C.J. Anderson who has carried the ball 82 times for 347 yards and only a single touchdown in the game.


The Chargers are going to have a good leg up here because they were able to actually beat the Giants in the last game they played against each other. The same Giants team that seemingly managed to control the Broncos in the last game and that could easily help the Chargers in getting the wins they need to have.

Philip Rivers is the player who has led the Chargers weak offense. Rivers has been able to throw for a total of 1633 yards on the year and 10 touchdowns this season.


Recent Betting Trends:
Broncos are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games.
Chargers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. AFC West.
Over is 5-2 in Broncos last 7 vs. AFC West.
Over is 4-1 in Chargers last 5 games in October.


Free Betting Pick: LA Chargers -1.5


Hard to have any faith in this Broncos team after Denver's terrible loss at home to previous winless Giants. Losing is one thing but the struggling offense showed little ability to move the ball - nothing changes on road against talented Chargers defense. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Chargers win and cover ATS 23-13.

[bmd1803]

Bengals at Steelers 10/22/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions

by Jim

Latest Odds : PIT -5.5 Total 41

Coming back from a bye week the Bengals will face rival Pittsburgh. However, if history holds true the Bengals will look like the bye week had them all vacationing in Tahiti and the Cincinnati team will look a little bit disjointed. If the Bengals were smart, though, they would have taken the time to work on the offense.

Leading the rushing attack for the Bengals have been Joe Mixon. Mixon has carried the ball 67 times for a single score and has managed only 187 yards on the season.


Pittsburgh is coming into this game after a very controlling game over the Chiefs in the last outing. That outing is really going to help the Steelers know the resolve they have is going to help them out quite a bit and help them control a lot of the teams that they should be able to beat.

Le'Veon Bell is able to really take care of the Steelers offense on the year and grind the clock out. Bell has managed to carry the ball 134 times for 550 yards and 4 touchdowns.


Recent Betting Trends:
Bengals are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games.
Steelers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win.
Under is 23-9 in Bengals last 32 games overall.
Under is 35-15-1 in Steelers last 51 games following a straight up win.


Free Betting Pick: Cincinnati Bengals +5.5


After starting the year 0-2 the Bengals have bounce back to go 2-1 straight up and 3-0 ATS in last 3 games. Cincinnati is also healthy coming off Bye week while the Steelers are banged up and coming off emotional road win against Chiefs. Close game with Bengals having shot to win this late. Final Score Prediction, Cincinnati Bengals win in upset but grab the points 24-23
