Week 17 NFL Pick: San Francisco 49ers -10
I won’t waste a whole lot of time making this selection, mostly because I believe this game is close to a lock selection. The San Francisco 49ers (12-3 SU, 12-2-1 ATS, 6-9 O/U) may not appear to have much to play for with the NFC West division title all wrapped up, but they do have a lot riding on the line as they are tied with New Orleans for the No. 2 seed in the NFC with identical 12-3 SU records. The Niners have won two straight and three of its L/4 games overall, including their narrow 19-17 division win over Seattle as a 1-point road favorite a week ago to move to 3-1 ATS over their last four games. The St. Louis Rams (2-13 SU, 2-12-1 ATS, 5-9-1 O/U) have lost a half-dozen straight games, including their 27-0 shutout loss to Pittsburgh as a 10-point home underdog in Week 16.

Analysis: St. Louis has absolutely nothing left to play for in this lost season and they’ve gone 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight home games against Frisco and just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 meetings against their division rivals overall. You can expect the Niners to have this game well in hand by halftime en route to an emphatic SU win and ATS cover.

Week 17 NFL Pick: Buffalo Bills +11.5
The Buffalo Bills (6-9 SU, 6-8-1 ATS, 10-4-1 O/U) don’t have much to play for at this late juncture of the regular season while the New England Patriots (12-3 SU, 8-7 ATS, 10-5 O/U) still need to win this game to secure home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs as they sit just one game above Pittsburgh and Baltimore with 12 victories. Buffalo looked very good in shutting down Tim Tebow and the Broncos in its 40-14 rout of the Denver Broncos as a 2.5–point home underdog in Week 16 while New England has won seven straight games, including its narrow 27-24 win over Miami in Week 16 as a 7-point home favorite.

Analysis: The Bills have looked pretty solid in each of their last two games, but they’re also just 3-7 ATS in their L/10 meetings against New England and with the Pats looking to get the big win here, I’ve got to believe New England is going to get the SU win at the very least in this AFC East divisional battle. Still, something tells me the Bills are going to find a way to narrowly cover the spread – and the fact that the Favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings – leads me to believe Buffalo will cover the spread by the slimmest of margins. Play the inconsistent Bills to close out their 2011 campaign with a bankroll-boosting ATS win over Tom Brady and company!

Week 17 NFL Pick: Tennessee Titans -3
The Tennessee Titans (8-7 SU, 7-8 ATS, 4-10-1 O/U) are tied with four AFC teams with identical 8-7 records and sit one game behind Cincinnati in the race for the final playoff spot in the AFC, which is why I really like them to get the SU and ATS win here over a superior Houston Texans (10-5 SU, 9-5-1 ATS, 5-10 O/U) team that is looking to get through this contest mostly unscathed. Tennessee snapped its modest two-game losing streak by beating Jacksonville 23-17 in Week 16 to cash in as an 8–point home favorite while Houston has dropped two straight, including its heartbreaking 19-16 loss to Indianapolis the last time out despite failing to cash in as an 8-point road favorite.

Analysis: The Houston Texans are 9-4 ATS in their L/13 games as a home underdog and a stellar 6-1-1 ATS in their L/8 games overall, but I’m going to advise the Touthouse NFL betting faithful to back the desperate Tennessee Titans in this season-ending matchup. Tennessee has the huge edge here at quarterback with veteran Matt Hasselbeck going up against Houston’s struggling T.J. Yates and I believe this mismatch will be the driving force behind Tennessee’s bankroll-boosting SU and ATS win! Get more Week 17 NFL picks for January 1st 2012 at Handicapperspicks.com.

Expert’s Week 3 NFL Picks: September 25th 2011
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S PREMIUM NFL PICKS

Pick: Tennessee Titans -7
Tennessee dominated the Ravens at home last week, and I like its chances here against a Denver team it will be looking to payback for last year’s loss. The Titans should be able to run all over a Denver defense that ranks 28th in the league with 131 rushing yards allowed per game. The Broncos won last week but are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU win. They are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. Lay the points. -Jeff Alexander

Pick: Chicago Bears +4
For whatever reason the Bears just don’t get a lot of credit from the oddsmakers, and that has set up a must play on Chicago in week 3 against the Packers. Green Bay comes into the game extremely hyped after winning the Super Bowl and starting the season 2-0, but have had their troubles against the Bears in recent matchups. Chicago’s defense plays at a whole different level on their home field, and are going to come into this game extremely motivated after having their season ended by the Packers in the NFC Championship game last season. Chicago is 6-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss, and 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. BET THE BEARS! -Steve Janus

Pick: New Orleans Saints -3.5
Saints -3.5 (2.2* FREE PLAY) Love the Saints right now the Texans beat two teams that are not going to the playoffs in the Dolphins and the Colts and really are not prepared for what Brees is going to bring in this match up. Brees has not thrown an interception and he has a ridiculous 157.7 QB rating on 3rd down, best in NFL. He dominated the Packers pass defense that was one of the best a year ago and took care of the Bears a team that dominated a very good Falcons team. Saints are back in my opinion they had a very good off season and should win this game. Saints remember getting robbed vs. the Packers and the Texans to me are a worse version of the Packers. Texans can throw the ball and run, but I believe the Saints defense will be more aggressive with blitzs and that should result in turnovers. Texans are 4-9-2 ATS in their last 15 following an ATS win and the Saints are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 as a home favorite 3.5-10 points. -Freddy Wills

Pick: Minnesota Vikings +3.5
Detroit is 0-8 SU and ATS as a road favorite of 3 1/2 points or less. Minnesota is 17-2 SU at home vs Detroit since 1992. Detroit is 3-7 ATS last 10 meetings in this series including 1-4 ATS last 5 in Minnesota. Detroit is 1-8 ATS off a straight up win vs opponent with revenge. Detroit is 1-6 ATS away off a non-conference game. Detroit is 1-6 ATS a double digit SU win and ATS win. Jim Schwartz is 0-5 ATS vs a less than .500 opponent off back to back straight up losses. Minnesota is 11-1 ATS off back to back SU losses vs .500 or better opponent. We’ll recommend a small play on Minnesota today! Thanks and good luck, Rocky (Handicapperspicks.com)

Week 10 NFL Picks for November 14th 2010

Pick: New York Giants -13.5
Dallas is 1-7 straight up this year. The Cowboys are 1-5 ATS their last 6 games vs. the Giants. Dallas is 6-13 ATS their last 19 games vs. NFC teams. The Cowboys are 1-6 ATS after rushing for less than 90 yards in their last game. The Cowboys are 0-5 ATS their last 5 games. The Giants are 6-2 straight up this year. New York is 22-9 ATS their last 31 games off a straight up win and they are 36-15-2 ATS their last 53 games after rushing for more than 150 yards in their last game. New York is 4-1 ATS their last 5 games overall. PLAY ON NY GIANTS -Tom Freese

Pick: Denver Broncos +1.5
This pick falls into one of my top NFL systems and the Broncos are the superior overall team here at home Sunday. The Chiefs have overachieved so far this season and it will show Sunday since I have the 2-6 Broncos winning this game big at home. The Chiefs have only averaged 168.9 passing yards per game this season while Denver has averaged 296.3 passing yards per game and yet Denver has played a tougher schedule so far this season. Denver comes into this game desperate for a win having lost 4 straight games and the Chiefs are just 1-8-1 against the spread in their last 10 games as a favorite. Denver has a huge advantage coming off a bye week and they are 17-6 SU in their last 23 games off a bye week. Grab the point with the Broncos as my NFL Free Pick for Sunday afternoon. -Vernon Croy

Pick: New England Patriots +4.5
Three teams are tied for the best record in the AFC. The Jets are one of them. The other two are facing eachother here. This is a game that very well may decide home field in the AFC title game. New England was riding a 5 game win streak until last weeks meltdown in Cleveland. The Patriots are #1 in the NFL in scoring at 27.4 PPG. Tom Brady is playing as good as ever. The QB has tallied 1826 YP and 14 TDs. He has 2 great receivers in Welker and Hernandez (791 YR and 5 TDs combined). The running game is solid with Green Ellis and Woodhead. They also are most-likely getting back Fred Taylor. Outside of LWs loss, the “D” hasn’t given up more than 20 in their L4 previous games. They face a Pittsburgh team that has really been lackluster over their L3 games despite being 2-1 in those contests. The Steelers “D” is ranked #1 in the NFL but has given up 63 points their L3 outings. At times the offense looks stagnant. Since his return, Ben Rothlisberger has tossed 6 TDs and 3 INTs. He is surely missing traded WR Santonio Holmes. The squad has a slew injured players listed as questionable. New England HC Bill Bellichik will be ready for Pitts zone blitz, leaving it up to the sputtering Steelers offense. The ‘dog in this series is 8-2 ATS their L10 meetings. The Pats are 7-2 ATS their L9 vs. the Steelers while Pittsburgh is 1-4-1 ATS their L6 as a home favorite. Take New England. Thank you. -Joseph D’Amico

Pick: Chicago Bears +1.5
Minnesota has failed to meet expectations this season, and it has certainly shown that it can’t be trusted on the road. The Vikings have lost their last 8 road games, and they have also lost 8 of their last 9 visits to Chicago. 4 of Minnesota 8 straight road defeats have come this season, and it is losing those games by an average of 7.0 points. The Bears are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games as an underdog of 3.0 points or less, including 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog of 3.0 or less. The Vikings are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite of 3.0 or fewer points. Take the Bears at home. -Jeff Alexander

Pick: Tennessee Titans -1
The Miami Dolphins are struggling offensively this season, and as a result they have changed quarterbacks. Chad Henne has been benched, and now Chad Pennington takes over as their starting QB. I expect the Dolphins to be way too conservative today to beat the Titans, because the sole reason for the quarterback change was because Henne was turning the ball over too much. I certainly like the Titans coming off a bye week, and they definitely got more explosive offensively with the addition of Randy Moss. The claim of Moss off of Waivers could not have come at a better time, and it will open up more holes from Chris Johnson as the Titans make their second-half run starting Sunday. The Titans are 5-3 this season, outscoring opponents 28.0 PPG to 18.7 PPG on average. Tennessee has been great on the road, posting a 3-1 record away from home while outscoring opponents by 11.3 PPG. Miami is only scoring 17.9 PPG this season and inserting Pennington is not going to help them generate more points. The Dolphins have played their worst football at home, where they are 0-3 and getting outscored by 12.0 PPG. Miami is allowing 31.7 PPG at home this year. The Dolphins are 9-25 ATS after a 2 game road trip since 1992. The Titans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss. The Dolphins are 16-41-1 ATS in their last 58 home games, including 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a home underdog of 0.5-3.0. Take Tennessee Sunday. -Jack Jones

Pick: Houston Texans +1.5
On Sunday the Free System Club Play is on the Houston Texans. Game 217 at 1:00 eastern. Houston looks to bounce back here today off a pair of losses to the Colts and Chargers. Houston is 8-2 ats off back to back losses . They are also 4-1 ats on the road vs an opponent off a dog win. The Jags come in here off what the time was a big dog win vs Dallas. Now they are without one of their top defensive lineman in Kempman. They will need to get all the pressure they can on M.Schaub. The Jags are also just 1-7 ats after scoring 35 or more in their last game. Look for Houston to avenge both of last years losses to Jacksonville with a win here today. On Sunday I have the NFC North Game of the Year backed with 2 Huge Power systems as well as 3 other Best Bets in the NFL + the Sunday night game .Football has been solid all year and NBA Is 13-4 already this year. NBA Totals system hits 100% and beats line by 13 points. NFL Top plays are 6-1 and We cashed big GOY on Ohio.St.. For the System Club take Houston. -Rob Vinciletti (Handicapperspicks.com)

A Monday night divisional match-up should generate plenty of football betting interest when the Tennessee Titans travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars. Both teams enter 3-2 and in a four-way tie for first place in the AFC South.

Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Game Date/Time: Monday, October 18th, 8:30 ET
Game Location: EverBank Field, Jacksonville, FL
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN

NFL Football Odds: Tennessee Titans (-3) +105 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (+3) -125: Over/Under 45.5

The Jaguars were a surprise football betting winner at Buffalo last week as many ‘experts’ expected them to stumble on the road against a desperate Bills team. Trouble is the Bills are the worst team in the NFL. Jacksonville dominated the ground game with 216 yards rushing, so their win was justified despite three turnovers and none for Buffalo.

However, the Jaguars allowed a very bad Bills offense to total 306 yards offense and 5.7 yards per play including 5.2 yards rushing. In NFL football betting, you’ll cash more winners when supporting the better defense with a solid running game. That’s the case with the Titans in this match-up, as Tennessee runs for 4.6 yard per carry with All-Pro Chris Johnson carrying the load while the Jaguars average 4.4 yards per rush led by Maurice Jones-Drew.

The rushing yards per game are nearly even at nearly 140 yards per game, but the Titans have faced three top-10 defensive units while the Jaguars have taken on just one, and Jacksonville only ran the ball for 71 yards against the Chargers. The Jaguars have the worst fan support in the NFL, and home field has provided very little football betting victories as the Jaguars are just 5-14 ATS their last 19 home games.

Jacksonville has many weaknesses on defense, not the least being a slow and vulnerable secondary. While the Titans passing game is sub-par with Vince Young, a strong Titans running game should open up plenty of play action passes to open receivers. The Jaguars pass defense allows 282 yards per game with a opponent quarterback passer rating of 107; the second worst mark in the NFL ahead of only the Buffalo Bills. Football betting backers of the Jaguars can’t feel good about those defensive pass problems or that the Jaguars allow 66 percent completions and 385 yards per game overall. Jacksonville is allowing 6.5 yards per play; the worst average in the NFL.

Now, Vince Young is no Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers or Kyle Orton when it comes to passing the football, but while the Jaguars could not contain those quarterbacks, it’s likely they have a very tough time slowing down the Titans strong ground game. Tennessee was a football betting winner as a 7-point underdog last week at Dallas as the Titans averaged 5.8 yards per play against a much better Dallas defense and won the game outright 34-27. Of note is that the Titans came out passing the ball against Dallas with Young throwing 16 of the first 25 snaps with a 24-yard touchdown pass. There was more emphasis on the downfield pass last week and the Titans should feel more confident to open up the passing game playbook against the Jaguars dotted-hole secondary.

NFL Insider Tip: Titans have covered five of seven in these division rivals recent series, while the Jaguars have covered just five of the L/19 football betting spreads in their own house. Tennessee is the much better overall squad, and will show that tonight by avoiding the letdown from last week’s huge road win and take it to the Jags!

Tennessee Titans vs. New York Giants
Game Date/Time: Sunday, September 26th, 1:00 ET
Game Location: New Meadowlands Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Tennessee Titans (+3) -110 vs. New York Giants (-3) -110: Over/Under 42.5

The Titans were embarrassed last week at home by the Pittsburgh Steelers, but this week presents an entirely different type of challenge for them. The Giants historically have a hard time stopping the run, something that Pittsburgh obviously had no troubles doing last week. If Chris Johnson can get going, there is no telling how strong the Titans can look to their foes.

New York is also in a bit of turmoil right now, as there are a plethora of injuries to deal with. Antrel Rolle also spouted off this week, stating that the team doesn’t have the proper leadership to go the Super Bowl.

This is all something that Tennessee can feed off of. Last week, the team turned the ball over seven times. That simply won’t happen again. If the ‘D’ can contain the Giants offensively, it’s going to look like the wrong team is favored in this football betting battle.

San Diego Chargers vs. Seattle Seahawks
Game Date/Time: Sunday, September 26th, 4:15 ET
Game Location: Qwest Field, Seattle, WA
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: San Diego Chargers (-5.5) -110 vs. Seattle Seahawks (+5.5) -110: Over/Under 44

The Chargers looked simply awesome last week when they smacked the Jacksonville Jaguars, and did so without the services of Ryan Mathews for the majority of the game. Odds have it, the rookie out of Fresno State will be grounded again this week, which is just the beginning of the problems for San Diego.

The Bolts are taking a long road trip here to some treacherous territory. Qwest Field is historically one of the biggest pains to try to go into and take a football betting decision. The offense has enough confidence remaining from its 31-6 win over the San Francisco 49ers to be able to do some damage against the Chargers, who have only really survived this season based upon turnovers.

If the Seahawks can take care of the football, the hometown crowd will keep them in this game. This is the case of a football betting affair where one team plays terribly on the road and another plays well at home, and we plan on pouncing.

Take the Seahawks and Titans in our Rabid Dawg Parlay to cash in with football betting parlay odds of roughly 7 to 1!

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Tennessee Titans
Game Date/Time: Sunday, September 19th, 1:00 ET
Game Location: LP Field, Nashville, TN
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Pittsburgh Steelers (+5) -110 vs. Tennessee Titans (-5) -110: Over/Under 37

Have the oddsmakers not learned their lesson with the Steelers? The black and gold could still have one of the best teams in the NFL, and beating the football betting lines might not be that hard this week if the defense can come to play. The offense isn’t going to need to do much if Chris Johnson is shut down effectively.

Yes, we know that Johnson has had 12 straight 100+ yard games, but he hasn’t run up against many defenses this fierce in the process. Trying to watch Vince Young keep his head on straight if the running game breaks down could be fun.

These two teams have quite the history with one another, and the Steelers know what it takes to win at LP Field. Dennis Dixon just has to hang onto the football, make a few plays with his legs and a couple with his arm, and let Rashard Mendenhall do the rest. The wrong team in favored in this game, and the football betting result will show it when Pittsburgh gets out of the Music City with another ‘W’.

Miami Dolphins vs. Minnesota Vikings
Game Date/Time: Sunday, September 19th, 1:00 ET
Game Location: Mall of America Field, Minneapolis, MN
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Westwood One, Sirius

NFL Odds: Miami Dolphins (+5.5) -110 vs. Minnesota Vikings (-5.5) -110: Over/Under 39

The Dolphins have everything that it takes to come into a place like Minnesota and just cripple the hosts. There is a reason that this team is 6-1 ATS in its L/7 road games against the football betting lines. Miami has a dominant running game that just finds holes in defenses. Yes, Minnesota’s defensive front is one of the best in the NFL at stopping the run, but if Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams can get anything going, it could be a long, long day for the men in purple.

Brett Favre looks old and prone to mistakes right now, and if he doesn’t get on the same page with his cut and paste receiving corps, all of the pressure in the world will be on Adrian Peterson to take care of the football and beat the Miami defense. We’ll be sure to take our chances with the boys from the Sunshine State.

Take the Dolphins and Steelers in our Rabid Dawg Parlay to cash in with football betting parlay odds of roughly 8.5 to 1!
