Take Nevada.

This is my POWERHOUSE PLAY.

Game 961.

2:30 pm pst.

Nevada, who owns a perfect, 9-0 record, just overmatches Grand Canyon in every aspect. The Wolfpack are a very accurate and high-scoring team (49.1%, 86.2 PPG). The Antelopes just don't have the talent to compete here. Nevada is 5-0 ATS this season laying DD's. Take the Wolfpack. Thank you.

Take Princeton.

This is my ABOVE THE RIM.

Game 857.

10:15 am pst.

The St. Johns defense is just horrible, allowing over 71.6 PPG. Therefore, the Red Storm should not be laying 12.5 points to anyone, let alone a very scrappy, Tigers team. St. Johns is 1-7 ATS this season, 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the Ivy League, and 0-4 ATS the L4 neutral site games. Take Princeton. Thank you.

Take the UNDER in the BRONCOS/49ers matchup.

This is my HIGH ROLLER.

Games 123/124.

1:05 pm pst.

In just four starts, Nick Mullens has gone from a hero to a punch line. The QB, who looked great, tossing three TD's vs. Oakland in his debut, has now just 2 TD's and 5 INT's over the last three games since, all losses, both SU and ATS. The 23-year old must now step up to the line against a vastly improving, Denver "D", consisting of the fierce, Von Miller-Bradley Chubb pass rush. The Broncos are riding a three-game win and cover streak to bring the team to 6-6, and right back into the AFC Wild Card race. Case Keenum must rely upon RB, Phillip Lindsay (937 YR, 8 TD's) here to move the chains and eat up a ton of clock, as the offense is without WR, Emmanuel Sanders (out, achilles). The Under is 4-0-1 in the Denver's L5 overall and 4-1 in the 49ers L5 on grass. Take the UNDER. Thank you. 

Take Los Angeles.

This is my NO LIMIT

 Game 119.

5:20 pm pst.

The NFC West champ, Los Angeles, are looking to stay ahead of New Orleans for home field in the conference playoffs. So, I don't have a problem laying a short price here with a Rams offense that accounts for over 34.9 PPG. The 1-2 punch of QB, Jared Goff (66.4% CR, 3754 YP, 27/7) and RB, Todd Gurley (1175 YR, 15 TD's) can light up any defense in football. The Bears have a good "D", but haven't faced a tandem of the caliber of Goff and Gurley all season. Moreover, the only two able QB's they have went up against (Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady combined for 573 YP, 6/1), tore them up (both losses). Mitch Trubisky (check status) is most-likely playing, but the QB does not have the arsenal to contend here. The Los Angeles offense ranks 2nd in total yards, 4th in passing yards, 4th in rushing yards, and 2nd on points scored. Take the Rams. Thank you. 

Take Tampa Bay.

This is my SHOCKER.

Game 114.

10:00 am pst.

Tampa Bay has played their division rival very tough, winning and covering the last two meetings, including an early-September, 48-40 victory. Granted, New Orleans suffered their first defeat since Week 1, and they've had a few extra days to rest and prepare, but the Bucs own the #1 passing unit in the NFL and if the Saints have a weakness, it's their 30th ranked defense vs. the pass. Jameis Winston hasn't turned the ball over the last two games (both wins and covers) and the Bucs "D" has tightened up. The home team is 4-1 ATS the last five meetings in this series. New Orleans is 1-4 ATS the last five in Tampa Bay and 2-5 ATS the last seven following a SU loss. Tampa Bay is 4-0 ATS the last four in December and 5-2 ATS the last seven vs. the NFC South. Take the Buccaneers. Thank you.

Take the OVER in the COLTS/TEXANS matchup.

This is my INSIDE INFO MOVE.

Games 107/108.

10:00 am pst.

Houston bested Indianapolis, 37-34 in OT, to start their nine game win streak, back on September 30th. Another win and the Texans can lock up the AFC South, but the Colts, at 6-6, are desperate after being blanked, 6-0 LW by the Jaguars, following a five game win streak. Andrew Luck hasn't had too many unproductive performances. So expect the veteran QB to bounce back and have a strong outing against the 18th ranked pass defense of Houston. The Colts averaged 34.6 PPG on their five game win streak prior to LW's loss. The Texans average over 27.7 PPG at home. Take the OVER. Thank you.

Take Baltimore

This is my BOOKIE BUSTER.

Game 105.

10:00 am pst. 

This is an interesting matchup as the League's best scoring offense goes up against its best scoring defense. Facing a stingy, Baltimore stop-unit without a proven ball-carrier, is going to be a much tougher task than last week's matchup against a cushy, Oakland "D". HC, John Harbaugh mentioned that he may use both, Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson at the helm. Flacco can exploit the Chiefs 32nd ranked pass defense, while Jackson and RB, Gus Edwards will team up to exploit the 22nd run defense of Kansas City. Baltimore is 5-2 ATS the last seven in the month of December. Take the Ravens. Thank you.

This Sunday, I have posted more HIGH-RATED releases than I have on a single SUNDAY in years. I have my 3-0 'DOG OUTRIGHT WINNER, NFC TOTAL OF THE WEEK, AFC EAST TOTAL OF THE MONTH, 100% AFC EAST GAME OF THE MONTH, 4-0 LATE BAILOUT, 13-2 DOMINATOR, and my 35-13 LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE WINNER. I will EXPLODE, so follow me and let's BLOW UP YOUR BOOK together!

Sunday's FREE NFL WINNER: Los Angeles Chargers.

Game 126.

1:05 pm pst.

I don't like laying DD's in the NFL, but the Chargers, at 9-3, are chasing the Chiefs (10-2) for the AFC West title. There is no smart bettor that will tell you to play a Bengals team which has dropped four in a row and six of their last seven, and is now without their starting QB and one of the best WR's in football. Even with Andy Dalton and AJ Green, this team wasn't all that good. Los Angeles showed just how good of a team they are overcoming a 16-point deficit to beat Pittsburgh in Heinz Field last week. Phillip Rivers is having an MVP-worthy season and will shred the 31st ranked pass defense of Cincinnati here, while Dustin Ekeler and Justin Jackson team up in Melvin Gordon's absence to steamroll the 32nd ranked run defense. Cincinnati is 1-4 ATS the last five vs. AFC foes and 1-6 ATS the last seven overall. Los Angeles is 5-2 ATS the last seven vs. AFC opponents and 4-1 ATS the last five overall. Take the Chargers. Thank you.

Take Pittsburgh.

This is my LVSM.

Game 131.

1:25 pm pst.

Normally, I wouldn't lay DD's with Pittsburgh here, especially with New England on deck for them. They just blew a 16-point halftime lead in last week's, 33-30 loss to Los Angeles. And, James Conner is out. But playing Oakland trumps all that. Look for the Steelers to bounce back here with a vengeance. Last Sunday, with under two minutes left, the Chiefs let the Raiders score 10 points with the game in hand, to beat Oakland, 40-33. That seven-point deficit was the only defeat over Oakland's last seven losses to come by less than 14 points. Pittsburgh will try to establish a ground attack with Stevan Ridley and Jaylen Samuels, but Big Ben is going to do most of the damage against an Oakland "D" that hasn't been able to stop any good throwing QB's this year. The Raiders "stop-less" stop-unit ranks 31st, allowing over 30.6 PPG. Offensively, they rank 29th, averaging a mere, 18.3 PPG and must face a healthy and ferocious Steelers "D". Pittsburgh is 6-1 ATS the last seven following a SU loss. Oakland is 2-6 ATS the last eight at home. Take the Steelers. Thank you

Take Denver.

This is my DOMINATOR.

Game 123.

1:05 pm pst.

In just four starts, Nick Mullens has gone from a hero to a punch line. The QB, who looked great, tossing three TD's vs. Oakland in his debut, has now just 2 TD's and 5 INT's over the last three games since, all losses, both SU and ATS. The 23-year old must now step up to the line against a vastly improving, Denver "D", consisting of the fierce, Von Miller-Bradley Chubb pass rush. The Broncos are riding a three-game win and cover streak to bring the team to 6-6, and right back into the AFC Wild Card race. Case Keenum can rely upon RB, Phillip Lindsay (937 YR, 8 TD's) to keep the 49ers defense off-balance and open up the passing game, even without WR, Emmanuel Sanders (out, achilles).  Denver is 4-0 ATS the last four on the road and 6-1 ATS the last seven overall. San Francisco is 1-4 ATS the last five at home and 1-5 ATS the last six overall. Take the Broncos. Thank you.

Take the OVER in the RAMS/BEARS matchup.

This is my LATE BAILOUT.

Games 119/120.

5:20 pm pst.

The NFC West champ, Los Angeles, are looking to stay ahead of New Orleans for home field in the conference playoffs. The Rams offense that accounts for over 34.9 PPG. The 1-2 punch of QB, Jared Goff (66.4% CR, 3754 YP, 27/7) and RB, Todd Gurley (1175 YR, 15 TD's) can light up any defense in football. The Bears have a good "D", but haven't faced a tandem of the caliber of Goff and Gurley all season. Moreover, the only two able QB's they have went up against (Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady combined for 573 YP, 6/1), tore them up. Mitch Trubisky (check status) is most-likely playing, and will add the spark to the 5th ranked scoring offense (28.7) and put up points on the porous LA defense that has gotten burned quite a bit this season. The OVER is 5-1 in the Rams L6 vs. teams with a winning record and 4-1 in the Bears L5 overall. Take the OVER. Thank you.  

Take New England.

This is my AFC EAST GAME OF THE MONTH.

Game 117.

10:00 am pst. 

Don't put any stock in reading that Miami has given New England trouble over the years. This is Belichick and Brady in December. The Patriots can lock up a record, 10th straight division title with a win here and are just one game behind the Chiefs for the best overall mark in the AFC. Tom Brady and company routed the Dolphins, 38-7, back in September, to give the team their fourth win and cover in the last five meetings in this series. Since then, New England has gotten healthier and better. New England is 17-6 ATS the last 23 on the road, 5-0 ATS the last five vs. the AFC, and 37-15-2 ATS the last 52 overall. Take the Patriots. Thank you.

Take the UNDER in the Jets/Bills matchup.

This is my AFC TOTAL OF THE MONTH.

Games 115/116.

10:00 am pst.

Well, the last time the Bills were a favorite was December 31st of last year. WOW! Two rookie QB's look to square off here as USC product, Sam Darnold goes up against Wyoming standout, Josh Allen. Both play-callers displayed brief moments of greatness (very brief), but both have struggled. Darnold has a 55.0% CR, 11/14, while Allen possesses a 52.9% CR, 5/7. These two passing units rank among the worst in the League and neither offensive squad has had success running the ball either. New York accounts for just 20.2 PPG, and Buffalo averages only 14.8 PPG. However, despite poor records, both defensive units have played well this season. There just might be higher-scoring games in the NHL this Sunday. LOL. The Under is 5-2 the last seven meetings in Buffalo, 4-1 in the Jets last five vs. the AFC East, and 7-3 ATS in the Bills last 10 overall. Take the UNDER. Thank you.

Take OVER in the SAINTS/BUCCANEERS matchup.

This is my NFC TOTAL OF THE WEEK.

Games 113/114.

10:00 am pst.

Tampa Bay has played their division rival very tough, winning and covering the last two meetings, including an early-September, 48-40 victory. New Orleans suffered their first defeat since Week 1, and they've had a few extra days to rest and prepare. The Bucs own the #1 passing unit in the NFL and the Saints have a big weakness, in their 30th ranked defense vs. the pass.

The OVER is 4-1 in the Saints L5 vs. the NFC South, 7-1 in the Saints L8 following a SU loss, 4-1 in the Bucs L5 vs. the NFC South, and 9-4 in the Bucs L13 overall. Take the OVER. Thank you.

Take Atlanta.

This is my Underdog Outright Winner.

Game 111.

10:00 am pst.

Two pre-season, NFC favorites enter this contest with seven combined losses. The Packers are banged-up on both sides of the ball and are dealing with a new HC for the first time in 13 years. Atlanta has taken the last three meetings in this series by a combined, 35 points and come into this matchup with more weapons in their arsenal. The road team is 9-3 ATS the last 12 meetings in this series. Atlanta is 5-0 ATS the last five in Green Bay. Green Bay is 1-5-1 ATS the last seven vs. NFC opponents. Take the Falcons. Thank you.
