***NFL PLAYS FOR WEEK 16***

(Titans -3 vs Chargers), Lets get started with the Christmas day game. The Titans are sitting at #11th seed & need a win & have some other teams lose to have a chance at the playoffs. If the Chargers win, they automatically get the 2nd seed & a 1st round bye. Something doesnt seem right about this spread & to have the Chargers as a dog tells me the craziness of not knowing whose doing what for the playoffs will last until the final week because I see the Titans winning this game. The Chargers lose here & the Patriots or Bengals get a win & that puts either one with a win 1 game behind the Chargers, now you know the NFL loves those situations.

Titans -3 (HUGE bet)

(Packers -13.5 vs Seattle), The Packers are sitting at the #5 seed but have not yet clinched a playoff spot. Seattle is playing for pride. This should be a Packers win but I dont know which way to go with the pointspread. Betting edge: Packers ML in parlays

(Browns -3 vs Raiders),  Neither of these teams are seeing the playoffs. The Browns have now covered 5 in a row & their offense finally woke up the past several games. The Raiders are an anomally this season because they win as double digit dogs & get clocked the following game. These Raiders can not put back to back winning games. The Raiders are at Cleveland this week & then come home to play the Ravens. I cant see why this game will beany different for the Raiders since they got that big win in Denver, I see them losing this week. If it isnt broken, no need to fix it, maning the pattern of the crazy Raiders. Betting edge: Browns -3  (average bet)

(Bengals -13.5 vs Chiefs),  The Bengals are looking to get into the playoffs as they have not clinched anything yet. The Bengals are also looking to win the division & trying to fight off the Ravens sitting 1 game behind them. The Chiefs are just trying to put a decent game together, oh wait, they did beat the Steelers a few weeks back. Call me crazy, but I see the Chiefs sticking inside this number but see a Bengals win. The Bengals are coming home & will dedicate this home game to Chris Henry but with all the emotion these players will have, they will be worn out physically but I do see the Bengals winning this game without a doubt. Betting edge: Bengals ML in parlays & Chiefs +13.5

Adding:

(Falcons -8 vs Bills), Both teams are going home after week 17. The Falcons beat the Jets last week but didnt look that great doing it. Matt Ryan started but looked rusty the entire game. THe Bills played to lose the game vs the Patriots & still got the push on the spread. They had the ball inside the redzone several times & turned the ball over on downs. Receivers dropping the ball, Owens not getting involved in the game much. Who really wants to win this game? I dont know & I hate the last few weeks of the season because some teams just plainly quit. Betting edge: None

(Miami -3 vs Texans),  Implications for the playoffs on both sides of the ball in this game. Miami sitting at #8 seed & the Texans at #12. Both at 7-7 & both needing wins the last 2 games & help from others. Miami was getting blown out in the 1st half but made a game of it in the 2nd half & gave the Titans a scare. The Titans thought they had the game in the bag but Miami took them into overtime & the Titans were victorious by 3 points. The Texans were on the road last week vs the Rams & had no business being a 14 point favorite on the road & we all saw how they barely beat the Rams. Now everyone is thinking, how can these Texans, who barely beat the Rams, which had health issues all last week, come into Miami & win? Imo, Miami put all their energy into coming back & trying to beat the Titans last week as the Texans played down to their opponent & took it easy & barely got the win. So with that said, I see the Texans going into Miami & winning this game SU! Betting edge: Texans ML (+125)  (HUGE bet)  

Point well noted & the Chargers could go in & win the game & close up the #2 seed, but I really think they do it in week 17.

Adding:

(Giants -6 vs Panthers) (this is the outlaw line), We all saw how the Giants ripped apart the Skins Monday night. Do you guys realize that the Giants were the only team that had any shot of making the playoffs in the NFC beyond the 6th seed, everyone else is eliminated. The AFC has 6 teams still with a shot. With two weeks remaining, the Giants need to win out & have some help along the way & Monday nights win was a good start. The Panthers are playing the spoiler role as they did with the Vikings on Sunday night , unbelievable how bad those Vikings looked. I think the Panthers got their big win & put alot of emotion into that game. Now they have to travel to NY & play in the cold & to top it off the Giants are coming off a thrashing of the Skins & will try to continue that groove towards a good game vs the Panthers. Betting edge: Giants ML in parlays & Giants in 6 point teasers (HUGE)

(Saints -14.5 vs Tampa),  The Saints finally lost a game this season & it was to a Cowboys team that needed a win badly. Imo, that loss is probably the best thing that could have happened to them. The pressure of going undefeated is out of the way & they can now concentrate on their mission of winning the Super Bowl. Tampa went into Seattle last week & won outright as a 6 point dog. Lets not kidd ourselves, Tampa is outmatched in this game but what incentive do the Saints have in blowing out Tampa? None, & with the Vikings losing last week, this isnt a must win game for the Saints to clinch homefield advantage but im not crazy either, the Saints will win this game but like always, the Saints will play down to their competition & win by about 10 points. This game here is Tampa's Super Bowl & they want nothing more than to upset the team that might represent the NFC in the SB. The Saints might be a bit flat after last weeks loss but they should get the job done & clinch home field . Betting edge: Tampa +14.5  (average bet)

GL Prime....I'm hoping the Cincy game comes down to 13 or so.  I think they absolutely destroy KC.  They've had a couple tough weeks in MN and SD.  I don't see KC scoring more than 7-10 points and their offense runs wild.

Thanks man & good luck the rest of the season! 

I know it will be an emotional game & the Bengals could go wild on the Chiefs but im hoping the Chiefs stick inside the number due to the fact the Bengals will be flying high the 1st half with emotion.

Adding:

(Patriots -7.5 vs Jaguars),  The Patriots are vying to win their division & the Jags are just trying to make the playoffs. The Pats havent clinched a playoff spot so this game is just as important to the Pats as it is the Jags. I cant get a feel on either team for this game so I wont be playing it. Betting edge: None

(Steelers -2.5 vs Ravens), Revenge game comes to mind for the Steelers as they were without big Ben when these two met on Sunday night a few weeks back. The Ravens are in the #5 seed & are hoping to get a win here. Neither team has clinched a playoff spot. The Steelers need a miracle to reach the playoffs. The Ravens waxed the Lions & Bears past two weeks at home & now have to travel to Pittsburgh. This is a big rivalry game & the stadium will be hopping. The Ravens defense finally got things & the offense capitalized on the turnovers vs Cutler (the worst qb ive ever seen in my gambling years) & the Bears. The Steelers struggled to win over a hot Packers team. Betting edge: Ravens ML & Ravens in 6 point teasers. (average bets)

(Eagles -7 vs Broncos),  The Eagles came home after winning back to back road games & beat the 49ers with ease. The 49ers were playing with playoff hopes & their chances got crushed as the Eagles defense swarmed Alex Smith & made him turn the ball over a few times. The Broncos were beat by the Raiders, a team that just when you think cant win a game, come out & beat you in your house as a double digit dog. This Raiders team is a jekyl & hyde team. The Broncos have the #6 seed & are in dire need of a win to stay in that spot. The Broncos have put themselves in a really bad spot as they need a win in Philly. The Eagles are trying to get the #2 seed & the way the Vikings have been playing on national tv, they just might get it. I dont see the Eagles laying off the pedal as they are getting into a groove but I do see a Broncos team matching up well vs these Eagles. Betting edge: Broncos +7, Broncos on 6 point teasers. ( average bets)

I see what you're saying bro but the oddsmakers have adjusted for the injuries. If the oddsmakers fooled me, so be it but I do think the Chargers wait to go home & clinch the #2 spot vs the Skins in week 17.

The points wont be needed by the Texans as they go into Miami & get a SU win. As far as the line goes, it is the correct line imo. The oddsmakers are saying, if you want the Texans +3, you will lay the juice, so anyone looking to play the Texans is forced to take the ML or lay the juice. Thanks for local books, I wont be laying juice on the Texans but I cant play any ML's either. My ML play is thru bookmaker. Imo, Texans ML is the way to go as Miami gets knocked out of the playoffs.

Adding:

(Cards -14 vs Rams),  The Cards clinched the division & a playoff spot & the Rams are 1-13 & playing for a 1st round draft pick. Not much to say about this game. Betting edge: Arizona ML in all parlays

(49ers -12 vs Lions),  The 49ers have lost all hopes for the playoffs as they saw all their hopes get crushed last week vs the Eagles. The Lions were getting blown out last week in the 1st half vs the Cards but managed to rally & get back into the game & lose by 7 late in the game. I think the Lions bring that 2nd half momentum into this game & win this outright. The 49ers have nothing to play for after & I doubt they even want to dress up to play the Lions. This is an awful spot for the 49ers & if Singletary couldnt get his team up to play last week, I definitely dont see them doing anything this week. Betting edge:  Lions +12 (HUGE bet), Lions 6 point teaser & Lions ML (average bet).

(Colts -5 vs Jets), The Colts won in Colts fashion last week vs the Jags with a patent down to the wire win. The Colts are now laying 5 points after opening up at -7. Hmm, does Vegas know something we dont. Are the Colts going undefeated for the regular season after seeing the Saints go down last week. The Jets watched their playoff hopes diminish last week after losing to the Falcons. I see the Colts having a lead by 10 to 13 points by the end of the 3rd quarter & then resting their players. The Jets make a move & lose this game by 3 points but I wont be suckered into betting this game. Betting edge: None
