Okay I hope the Dallas win on Thursday night is the game I’ve been looking for to turn this losing streak in the NFL around. I have a good gut feeling about these plays. Now all I need is some of the gambling god’s smiles and all will be well. Wish me luck.

I have Atlanta winning straight up in this game so the points are a plus. The Rams lost what little steam they had going with the debacle at the end of last weeks game. Atlanta has had a couple extra days, and has played their best ball on the road this season with a 3-1 ATS mark.

I had the Colts the first time out against this team and they came through easily. Now they’ve had extra days to prepare, and with this being such a big game I can see them controlling this one here again. The last time Jacksonville had won three straight against the spread was prior to the last game with the Colts. The situation just seems right to go against the Jaguars here.

Kansas City won by double digits earlier this season when these two met. Tie that in with San Diego’s 1-4 SU mark away from home and the points look to be the way to go here.

I know Cleveland has been the way to go this year, but I can’t see Arizona having a poor game at home two weeks in a row. Add in the fact that the Browns defense is giving up a lot of yards and points this year, and the home dog looks good to me. In all actuality the Browns should have lost their last two road games. Listen they gave up 30 points to the Ravens so anyone can score on this team. Throw in the fact that this is their third road game in four weeks and Arizona is 5-1 L/6 SU & ATS verses teams allowing 235 or more passing yards per game and I’m on Arizona here.

Oakland should have won this game earlier this season at Denver and now their getting 4.5 here against a Denver team that has no business being favored on the road at anytime this year. The Broncos have won five straight in this series with the last two being very close. It just smells like it’s time for Oakland to break the ice in this rivalry, and plus I already have them winning SU so the points are a plus.

The Giants in all reality could be on a three game losing streak if not for some dropped and deflected passes by the Lions a couple weeks ago. Chicago has normally been a better late season team, and the Giants are usually faltering at this time of the year so why not take the Bears here who have the momentum after last week? The last couple of season Chicago is 6-0 SU the last six times they’ve played teams that have an average time of possession of 32 or more minutes per game including 1-0 this year.

Peace
