Broncos

vs.

Bills

Week 3

NFL Pick

9/24/17

By: Jason Green

The Broncos are perfect on the season and they throttled the Dallas Cowboys in their last Game. This will be their first road Game of the season and they are tied for first place in the tough AFC West where three of the Four teams in the division are 2-0. The QB play was the issue in Denver last season, but the team got great play from Trevor Siemian in the blowout win over Dallas last week.

The Bills won their opener, against the weak Jets, but lost their last Game where their offense was a tad stagnant. That may be an understatement, as they were held to only three points in a loss to the Carolina Panthers. However, their defense played well holding Carolina to only nine points and this season they have only given up one TD and 21 points.

These teams last met in the 2014 season at Denver where the Broncos beat the Bills 24-17.

The Bills have covered the spread in their last Four Games facing the Broncos.

Denver beat the Cowboys 42-17 in their last Game where they played well on both sides of the ball and played great D against the run holding Dallas to only 40 yards and holding last season’s rushing leader Ezekiel Elliot to only eight yards on nine carries.

Broncos QB Trevor Siemian was 22 for 32 in the win over Dallas with 4 TD and 1 INT and Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, who had 2 TD in the Game, combined for 133 receiving yards. C.J. Anderson had a big Game rushing for 118 yards with a TD and averaged a legit 4.7 yards per carry. The Broncos will be tested by the Bills’ D, but if they can move the chains they will be in good shape since Buffalo has far from a dynamic offense.

In their last Game the Bills lost 9-3 in a Game that was far from a barnburner. They only had a grand total of 176 yards and only 10 first downs, but their silver lining is that they played good defense and they did not turn the ball over. Tyrod Taylor passed for only 125 yards and he also led the team with 55 rushing yards while LeSean McCoy, who rushed for 110 yards in the season opener, was a no show rushing for nine yards on 12 carries. Needless to say he has to play better in this Game, which will not be easy facing a Denver run D that was great last week in the Dallas win.

Key Betting Trends

The Broncos are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 Games following a ATS win, 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Games following a straight up win, and in their last 7 road Games the have an Under record of 5-2.

The Bills are 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, 8-2 ATS in their last 10 Games after accumulating less than 250 total yards in their previous Game, and in their last 9 home Games the Over record is 8-1.

Jason’s Pick: I think the Bills will give the Broncos a good Game, but Denver has too much talent on both sides of the ball. Siemian will have another solid Game and the Denver D will pick it up in the 2nd half and the Broncos will win and cover the spread in Buffalo this Sunday afternoon.

Cowboys – Broncos NFL Pick

Bettors World — Sun, 09 Apr 2017 10:07:00 +0000

Dallas Cowboys

vs.

Denver Broncos

NFL Pick

9/17/17

By Jason Green

The Cowboys won their season opener where they played exceptional defense and they have to be happy to have RB Ezekiel Elliot, who had his six-Game suspension put on hold by the cOurts even though the league is still wrangling legally to uphold it. Dallas held the New York Giants to only three points in their first Game of the season and they head to Mile High City as a -2.5 point betting favorite against the Broncos at betonline and 5 dimes with a total of 42.

The Broncos dodged a bullet in their last Game beating the L.A. Chargers by three points blocking a Game-tying FG with a second remaining. They had control of the Game, but gave up 14 points while going scoreless in the 4th quarter. Denver stuffed the run in that Game and will be tested in this Game by Elliot, who led the league in rushing yards last season and had over 100 in the opening win over the Giants.

These teams met last in the 2013 season in Dallas where the Broncos beat the Cowboys 51-48 in a shootout.

The Cowboys beat the New York Giants 19-3 in their first Game of the season where they only gave up a total of 233 yards and only gave up 35 rushing yards. Dak Prescott was 24 for 39 for 268 yards and a TD and no INT in the Game and six players had at least 30 receiving yards led by Terrance Williams (68 yards). Elliot rushed for 104 yards averaging a pretty good 4.3 yards per carry. The Cowboys will be facing a stout Denver defense that gave up less than 300 yards in their season opener.

The Broncos beat the Chargers 24-21 in their season opener and they played solid D and rushed for 140 yards. Trevor Siemian wasdecent going 17 for 28 for 219 yards with 2 TD and 1 INT, but he was sacked Four times. He had a legit WR corps, Demaryius Thomas led them with 5 catches for 67 yards in Week 1, and RB’s C.J. Anderson (81 yards) and Jamaal Charles (40 yards) are a solid duo out of the backfield. Von Miller and company need to pressure Prescott in this Game and they cannot allow Elliot to have a big Game running the ball. If they can do those things they have a great chance to win, but if they do not they are likely in trouble, as they don’t have a dynamic offense that will light up the scoreboard.

Key Betting Trends

The Cowboys are 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Games overall, and in their last 17 road Games the Under record is 14-3.

The Broncos are 7-3-2 ATS in their last 12 home Games, 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Games overall, and in their last 11 Games facing a team with a winning record the Under record is8-3.

The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 Games between these teams.

In the last 6 Games between these teams the Over record is 5-1.

Jason’s Pick: Man, I really hate to pick the Cowboys in this Game, as I don’t like them. However, they are THE pick in this Game even on the road. Elliot and Prescott will play well and the Dallas D will keep the Broncos in check. I don’t see a blowout in this one, but the Cowboys will get the W and cover the spread moving to 2-0 on the young season.

Cowboys – Redskins Free Pick with Analysis

Bettors World — Sun, 09 Apr 2017 10:07:00 +0000

Cowboys

vs.

Redskins

Week 8

NFL Pick

10/29/17

The Cowboys snapped their two-Game losing streak thumping the San Francisco 49ers in their last Game and they head to the Nation’s Capital as a 1-point road favorite facing the rival Redskins. They had given up 35 points in two straight Games before only giving up 10 points in their last Game, but it was facing the winless 49ers. Ezekiel Elliot is still on the field with his suspension looming and he leads Dallas and their 2nd ranked rushing unit, but the D only ranks 22nd in points allowed.

At 5dimes sportsbook the Cowboys are the 1-point favorites with a total of 50.

The Redskins are coming off a Monday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and both the Skins and the Cowboys need a win to keep pace with 5-1 Philly. Washington has lost two of their last three Games and Kirk Cousins is putting up legit numbers, but the run Game has been inconsistent and the D ranks tied for 25th in the league giving up an average of 24.5 ppg.

The road team has covered the spread in the last six Games between these division rivals.

In their last Game the Cowboys beat the 49ers 40-10 where they dominated the Game out-gaining San Francisco 501 yards to 290 yards. They forced three turnovers and did not commit any and they racked up 263 rushing yards. Dak Prescott passed for 234 yards with 3 TD and 0 INT and three Dallas players had at least 54 receiving yards. Elliot led the squad with 72 of those yards in the air on one reception, but he was no one-trick pony also rushing for 147 yards averaging a solid 5.7 yards per carry.

The Redskins will need to contain Elliot in this Game and their run D gave up 127 rushing yards in their last Game.

The Redskins lost the Eagles 34-24 in their last Game where they had a chance, but after what looked like a sack on Philly’s Carson Wentz he broke through and mad ethe big play. Cousins did not get much help from the run Game with 75 rushing yards and they have to help him out in this Game. The Skins QB passed for over 300 yards with 3 TD and 1 INT with the two TE’s of Vernon Davis and Jordan Reed leading the team in receiving yards. Washington needs more production from his WR corps and while Cousins has over 1,600 passing yards this season no WR has more than 70 receiving yards in a Game.

Dallas ranks 11th in the league in total defense and while their run D is their weakness can the Skins take advantage of that?

The Cowboys are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 Games overall, ]2-6 ATS in their last 8 Games following a straight up win, and in their last 5 Games the Over record is 4-1.

The Redskins are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Games overall, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home Games, and in their last 5 home Games the Under record is 4-1.

Jason’s Pick: the Redskins have not been a great and in the last six Games in this series the road team has covered every time, but I will buck those trends. I think Cousins will have a big Game, Washington will run the ball, and their D will step up and keep Elliot from having a big Game. The Skins will take this Game and move over .500 on the season in beating their biggest rival in the Cowboys this Sunday.

Eagles vs. Panthers NFL Pick

Eagles

vs.

Panthers

Week 6

NFL Pick

10/12/17

By: Jason Green

Philadelphia Eagles (4-1 SU 3-2 ATS) vs. Carolina Panthers (4-1 SU 3-2 ATS)

The Eagles are coming off an impressive blowout win and they are all alone atop the NFC East. They have won three in a row and after a couple of close Games they routed the Arizona Cardinals in their last Game holding them to only seven points. Carson Wentz has shown now sign of a sophomore slump and Philly ranks in the top 10 in the league in passing and rushing yards per Game and points per Game.

At 5 dimes sportsbook the Panthers are 3-point favorites with a total of 45.5.

The Panthers have won two in a row and both of those wins were impressive each on the road facing the legit teams of the New England Patriots and Detroit Lions. The Carolina offense ranks in the middle of the pack in passing and rushing yards per Game and their D ranks 9th in the league in points against.

These teams met last in the 2015 season at Carolina where the Panthers beat the Eagles 27-16.

The Eagles are coming off a great home Game where they stuck it to the Arizona Cardinals winning 34-7. They had over 100 total yards in the Game and the same amount of turnovers (1) as the Cardinals, but they stuffed the run holding Arizona to 31 rushing yards. On top of that the Eagles were 9/14 on 3rd down conversions while the Cardinals were 4/14.

Wentz had another solid effort going 21/30 for 303 yards with 4 TD and 1 INT and three players had at least 61 receiving yards led by Nelson Agholor (93 yards). LeGarrette Blount had a good Game and after a slow start he has rushed for 200 yards in his last two Games. The Eagles will be facing a confident Panthers team that has won their last two Games on the road and is atop the tough NFC South.

In their last Game the Panthers beat the Detroit Lions 27-24. They had 120 more total yards in the Game and had the Lions in check, for the most part, but did give up two TD in the 4th quarter. Cam Newton did it all in the Game passing for 355 yards with 3 TD and no INT and he had to since Carolina only rushed for a grand total of 28 yards. Jonathan Stewart leads the team in rushing and he has been pretty good this season, but he is nursing an injury and in the win over the Lions he only rushed for 21 yards averaging a weak 1.2 yards per carry.

The Eagles are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Games overall, 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road Games, and in their last 16 road Games they have an Over record of 13-3.

The Panthers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home Games, 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 Games following a straight up win, and in their last 6 home Games they have an Under record of 4-1-1.

Jason’s Pick: The favorite has covered the spread in the last Four Games between these teams and that trend will continue this Sunday. the Panthers are rolling and while the Eagles have a longer winning streak they have only faced one team this season that currently has a winning record in the Chiefs and they lost that Game. Carolina will get it done in their house winning and covering the spread.

Jets vs. Raiders Free NFL Pick

Bettors World — Sun, 09 Apr 2017 10:07:00 +0000

New York Jets

vs.

Oakland Raiders

NFL Pick

9/17/17

By Jason Green

The Jets lost their season opener where they only scored 12 points and with their issues on the offensive side of the ball they may be in for a very long season. No surprise they are very big betting underdogs on the road to a Raiders team that has Super Bowl aspirations with Derek Carr back and healthy. New York has lost seven of their last 10 road Games.

The Raiders are -13.5 point favs at betonline and 5 dimes with a total of 43.5

The Raiders got off to a good start to the season beating the Tennessee Titans on the road and they have their star QB Carr back. They beat the Titans by 10 points even though they only had nine more total yards and they did not force any turnovers. The Raiders are balanced with Carr and a legit offense and a solid defense. Will the crowd be the same as usual knowing their team is moving to Las Vegas in a couple of seasons? That will be interesting to see and maybe more interesting than the Game with how bad the Jets may be.

These teams squared off last in the 2-15 season at Oakland where the Raiders beat the Jets 34-20.

The Jets lost to the Buffalo Bills 21-12 in their season opener and they have turned the rock over to QB Josh McCown, who has won only one of his last 18 starts. In the Buffalo Game he was not very impressive passing for 187 yards with 0 TD and 2 INT. The RB duo of Matt Forte and Bilal Powell only combined for 38 rushing yards and for the Jets to have any chance in this Game they will have to run the ball well, as counting on McCown to carry the team will not bring good results. The run Game of NY will be facing a run defense of Oakland that gave uo 95 rushing yards in the win over Tennessee.

The Raiders beat the Titans 26-16 in their season opener with Carr going 22 for 32 for 262 yards with 2 TD and 0 INT. He has one of the best WR tandems in the league with Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper, who combined for 145 receiving yards last week. Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch is back baby and rushed for 76 yards averaging 4.2 yards per carry and he has to look forward to facing a Jets’ run D that gave up 190 rushing yards in their loss to the Bills. Last season the Raiders were 5-2 at home.

Key Betting Trends

The Jets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road Games, 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, and in their last 5 Games the Under record is 4-1.

The Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home Games, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Games in September, and in their last 28 home Games they have an Over record of 20-6-2.

The Raiders are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 Games against the Jets in Oakland.

In the last 5 Games between these teams the Over record is 4-1.

Jason’s Pick: The Raiders have high hopes while the Jets may be the worst team in the league. Yeah, they are getting 13.5 points, but they should be getting more. Carr will rip them a new one in the secondary and Lynch will have a big Game. Don’t look for McCown to not look like himself and be a surprise, as this Game will not be one with Oakland blowing out New York easily winning and covering the spread.

Patriots – Saints NFL Free Pick

Bettors World — Sun, 09 Apr 2017 10:06:00 +0000

New England Patriots

vs.

New Orleans Saints

NFL Pick

9/17/17

By Jason Green

Obviously the defending champion Patriots are not in panic mode after losing their first Game of the season. However, they have to be a little concerned since they were torched by Alex Smith and in this Game face Drew Brees. New England gave up 42 points in their season opener and while Tom Brady did not have a bad Game he was well outplayed by Smith.

The Pats are a -6 point road fav at betonline and 5 dimes with a total of 56.5

The Saints lost their season opener to the Minnesota Vikings where Brees was kept out of the end zone until well into the 4th quarter. He did not get much help from the run Game and the secondary really struggled. No matter the Pats or the Saints will be looking at an 0-2 hole after this Game, which is far from an ideal start to the 2017 season.

These teams met last in the 2013 season in New England where the Patriots beat the Saints 30-27.

In their season opener the Patriots lost to the Chiefs 42-27 where New England’s defense was shredded giving up 537 yards. They gave up over 350 passing yards and 185 rushing yards and the pass defense will be tested in this Game by Brees. Brady was 16 for 36 for 267 yards and while he did not have an INT he also did not pass for a TD. Danny Amendola had 100 receiving yards and newcomer Brandin Cook had 88, but Brady needs to get the Pats in the end zone. New England did rush for 124 yards, but Mike Gillislee did not have the best debut for his new team being the lead rusher going for 45 yards and only averaging three yards per carry.

Brady and company will be facing a New Orleans defense that gave up 470 yards (341 passing yards 129 rushing yards) in losing their season opener.

The Saints lost to the Vikings 29-19 in their season opener where they only managed nine points in the first three quarters. Brees passed for 291 yards, but only had one TD and he did not get much help from the run Game with New Orleans only rushing for 60 yards. Adrian Peterson’s return to the LAnd of 10,000 LAkes was not a good one rushing for only 18 yards. Brees did spread the wealth, as five players had at least 45 receiving yards and the New England secondary must play better than they did against the Chiefs or Brady may have to light up the scoreboard to get the W.

Key Betting Trends

The Patriots are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road Games, 5-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record, and in their last 5 Games the Over record is 5-0.

The Saints are 7-0 ATS vs. a team with a losing record, 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Games overall, and in their last 4 gams the Over record is 4-0.

The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 Games between these teams.

Jason’s Pick: The Pats’ pass D is a concern, but Brady and Bill Belichick will come up with a good Game plan. Brady and company were not impressive in their opening Game, but they will be in this Game, as they will win in the Big Easy, cover the spread, and send the Saints to 0-2 on the young season.

Steelers – Chiefs Free Pick and Betting Odds

Steelers

vs.

Chiefs

Week 6

NFL Pick

10/15/17

By: Jason Green

Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2 SU 2-3 ATS) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (5-0 SU 5-0 ATS)

The Steelers are coming off a bad loss at home where Ben Roethlisberger had one of the worst starts in his career throwing five interceptions. With their loss they fell into a tie for first place in the AFC North with the Baltimore Ravens. The rushing offense for Pittsburgh only ranks 24th in the league and while their defense ranks 6th in the league giving up an average of 17.8 ppg they gave up 30 points in their last Game.

At 5 dimes sportsbook the Chiefs are 4.5-point favorites with a total of 46.5.

The Chiefs are the lone undefeated team in the league and not only that, but they have covered the spread in all of their Games as well. Alex Smith leads an offense that is the highest scoring one in the league and KC ranks 2nd in the league in rushing yards per Game.

These teams met in the playoffs last season at Kansas City where the Steelers beat the Chiefs 18-16.

The Steelers lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-9 in their last Game where they had more overall yards, but Big Ben had five INT, which is the most he has ever had in the Game. He threw for over 300 yards, but did not throw a TD and he only has three TD passes in his last three Games. WR Antonio Brown had a big Game against the Jags with 157 receiving yards and he leads the league in receiving yards. Le’Veon Bell ranks 5th in the league in rushing yards and after rushing for 144 yards in the previous Game he only had 47 yards averaging 3.1 yards per carry against Jacksonville, but did have 10 catches for 46 yards.

The Chiefs rank in the middle of the pack (17th) in points against and they gave up 34 points in their last Game.

Kansas City beat the Houston Texans 42-34 in their last Game where they racked up 450 total yards and forced the Game’s only turnover. Alex Smith had another big Game passing for 323 yards with 3 TD and no INT and Travis Kelce led the Chiefs with 98 receiving yards. Kareem Hunt rushed for 107 yards only averaging 3.7 yards per carry. He leads the league in rushing yards, with a 143 yard lead on the 2nd leading RB, and he has rushed for over 100 yards in Four of five Games this season.

Hunt has to be a big worry for the Pittsburgh run defense that was torched last week allowing Jacksonville’s Leonard Fournette to rush for 181 yards and the Jags as a team to rush for 231 yards.

The Steelers are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 Games following a ATS loss, and in their last 29 road Games the Under record is 22-7.

The Chiefs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Games overall, 7-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, and in their last 57 home Games the Under record is 39-18.

Jason’s Pick: The Chiefs have covered the spread in Four of their last five Games facing the Steelers and that is a trend that will continue this Sunday. Big Ben will turn things around and have a good Game, but Smith and Hunt will be too much for the Pittsburgh defense to handle. The Chiefs will win, stay perfect, and cover the spread at home.

Texans – Seahawks Free Pick

Bettors World — Sun, 09 Apr 2017 10:06:00 +0000

Texans

vs.

Seahawks

Week 8

NFL Pick

10/29/17

The Texans have won two of their last three Games and they have scored at least 33 points in each of their last Four Games. They are coming off a bye and will be well-rested for this Game, which will be needed facing a Seahawks team that is 2-0 at home. Houston is the 3rd highest scoring team in the league and they need to Scoreto win, as they only rank tied for 25th in opponents’ ppg.

At 5dimes sportsbook the Seahawks are the 5.5-point favorites with a total of 45.5.

After a disappointing start of the season losing two of three Games the Seahawks have gotten back on track and they have won three in a row. Their D ranks 1st in the NFL in terms of points allowed only giving up an average of 15.7 ppg and in their last two Games they have only given up seven points and 10 points respectively. The Seattle pass rush got a jolt this week, as they signed Dwight Freeney and the Seahawks still hope the ex-star has some gas left in his tank.

The last time these teams played it was the 2013 season in Houston where the Seahawks beat the Texans 23-20 in OT.

In their previous Game after the bye last week the Texans beat the Cleveland Browns 33-17. In the Game the Texans used a balanced attack on offense and they also forced three turnovers and only committed one. Deshaun Watson continued his solid rookie campaign and passed for 122 yards with 3 TD and 1 INT and Will Fuller V was the leading WR for 62 yards and a TD with Watson spreading the wealth with seven players with at least two catches. The Texans rushed for 123 yards led by D’Onta Foreman (59 yards) and he and LAmar Miller combined to rush for 100 yards. To say this duo has a tall task this Sunday on the road would be an understatement, as Seattle only gave up a grand total of 46 rushing yards in their last Game.

OUt of Houston’s three wins on the season only one has come facing a team with a winning record and that Game was at home.

The Seahawks beat the New York Giants in their last Game where they scored 14 points in the 4th quarter and dominated New York out-gaining them 425 yards to 177 yards. They only gave up 131 passing yards and they stuffed the run and only allowed 3.4 yards per reception. Russell Wilson came up big with 334 passing yards with 3 TD and 0 TD and Doug Baldwin had 92 receiving yards and hauled in a TD. While the Seahawks rushed for 104 yards their top two RB’s did not average Four yards per carry.

Houston ranks 6th in the league in pass defense and 10th in run defense and they have won one of their two road Games.

The Texans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Games overall, 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Games following a straight up win, and in their last 4 Games the Over record is 4-0.

The Seahawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home Games, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Games after an ATS win, and in their last 5 Games in October the Under record is 5-1.

Jason’s Pick: The Seahawks are flying under the radar in the NFC, but they are a solid team and a Super Bowl contender. Their D will shut down the Texans and at home they will get the win and cover the spread and win their 4th in a row.

Vikings – Steelers ATS Winner

Bettors World — Sun, 09 Apr 2017 10:06:00 +0000

Minnesota Vikings

vs.

Pittsburgh Steelers

NFL Pick

9/17/17

By Jason Green

The Vkings had a very impressive season opener beating the New Orleans Saints where Sam Bradford led an offense that got it done and the defense kept Drew Brees out of the end zone until midway through the 4th quarter. They faced a less than stellar defense of the Saints and have a stiffer test in this Game on the road against the Steelers.

The Steelers are -5.5 point favs at betonline and 5 dimes with a total of 45.5

While the Steelers also won their season opener they were not impressive only beating the Browns by three points. The passing Game was pretty good with Ben Roethlisbergerand the D came up with seven sacks, but the run Game was not there even with star Le’Veon Bell in the backfield. Pittsburgh will be a home in this Game where they went 7-2 last season.

These teams met last in 2013 in Minnesota where the Vikings beat the Steelers 34-27.

The Vikings beat the Saints 29-19 in their season opener where they racked up the most yards (470) they had in three seasons. Sam Bradford looked great going 27for 32 with 346 yards with 3 TD and 0 INT and WR’s Adam Thielen had 157 yards and Stefon Diggs had 93 yards and 2 TD. The line played well in the Game only giving up one sack, but have their work cut out facing a legit Pittsburgh pass rush that got two sacks and an INT from rookie T.J Watt. Dalvin Cook had a great debut in his first NFL Game rushing for 127 yards on 22 carries.

The Vikings won their season opener at home, but they have lost five of their last six road Games.

Pittsburgh needed a solid Game from their defense since their offense was not great. Bell was stuffed to the tune of 32 yards and Big Ben was pretty good with 263 yards with 2 TD and 1 INT with 182 of those yards going to star WR Antonio Brown. Bell missed training camp and the preseason and the Steelers need him to get back on track and be the stud he was last season. He will be facing a Minnesota run D that held the Saints to only 60 yards in their opening win.

Key Betting Trends

The Vikings are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road Games, 6-0 ATS in their last 6 Games in September, and in their last 5 Games they have an Over record of 4-1.

The Steelers are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 Games overall, 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Games following a ATS loss, and in their last 24 Games the Under record is 17-7.

Jason’s Pick: Minnesota was solid in their season opener and they have covered the spread in their last six Games in September. However, they have not only lost five of their last six road Games they have also failed to cover in five of their last six road Games. That trend will continue in this Game, as Big Ben will have a solid Game, Bell will bounce back, and the Steelers’ defense will harass Bradford and company all Game. Take Pittsburgh at home in this non-Conference match up to win and cover the spread.

Panthers – Saints Pick

Panthers

vs.

Saints

Week 13

NFL Pick

12/3/17

By: Jason Green

Carolina Panthers (8-3 SU 7-4 ATS) vs. New Orleans Saints (8-3 SU 7-4 ATS)

The Panthers have won Four in a row and with the Saints having the same record the winner of this Game will all-alone in first place in the NFC South. They have put up 80 points in their last two Games, but are still led by their defense, which ranks 8th in the league giving up an average of 18.8 ppg. Rookie Christian McCaffrey is listed as questionable for this Game and if he cannot go it will be a big blow to the offense since he has done it all this season.

At 5 dimes sportsbook the Saints are the 4.5-point favorite with a total of 48.

The Saints had their eight-Game win streak snapped in their last Game and while they are only a 4.5-point home favorite they beat the Panthers by 21 points early in the season at Carolina. New Orleans finally has balance, as Drew Brees has not had to carry the team with his arm and the defense has been pretty solid as well.

The Saints have covered the spread in their last five Games facing the Panthers.

The Panthers beat the New York Jets 35-27 in their last Game where they needed a comeback for the win. They did have 35 points, but the offense was not the key late in the Game, as Carolina ran back a fumble for a TD and they scored on a punt return. They had nearly 100 fewer yards than the Jets (391-299), but they had a good Game on the ground and some big plays late. Cam Newton only passed for 168 yards and while he did not have a TD he was not picked off as well. McCaffrey led the team with 62 rushing yards and if he cannot play in this Game the other players in the backfield have to step up and help Newton out.

New Orleans ranks 14th in the league in pass defense and 18th in run defense and it will be key if they can stop the run in this Game.

In their last Game the Saints had their win streak snapped losing to the L.A. Rams 26-20 in LA LA LAnd. They were out-gained 415 yards to 346 yards and while they defended the run well and forced the Game’s only turnover they still took the loss. They were lit up in the air giving up 327 passing yards. Brees passed for 246 yards with a TD and no INT and RB Alvin Kamara had a big Game leading the team with 101 receiving yards and 87 rushing yards including a 74-yard TD gallop.

In the earlier match-up between these teams Carolina was held to 288 total yards and they had three turnovers and did not force any.

Carolina ranks in the top six in the league in pass and run defense and if they can run the ball well and avoid the turnover they have a great shot at a win in the Big Easy.

The Panthers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Games, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road Games, and in their last 12 road Games facing a team with a winning record the Over record is 9-3.

The Saints are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 Games, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Games facing teams from the NFC South, and in their last 19 home Games the Over record is 13-5-1.

Jason’s Pick: This one is a tough one to call with the status of McCaffrey in limbo. Still, even with him in the lineup the Saints will get the W. Brees will have a good Game and the defense will keep Newton and company in check. This division match-up will not a be a blowout, but New Orleans will win, cover the spread, and be alone in first place in the NFC South.
