    Not since 1965

    Thats right the Steelers haven’t won in Philadelphia since 65. 73 % of the money on Pittsburgh consensus. These two have really got up and down the field in the past two matchups with the Eagles getting the 64 points in two matchups. The Steelers 51 in 22 and 20 but with Wilson is this team really ready to line up with a team that was so close to beating those Chiefs a few years ago? I almost never do this but I’m going to lay the number with the Eagles here. Pittsburgh also the heavy consensus money line for the outright upset.

    It was just last October the Titans did something I call the worst 3 hours in sports. That is put me on the wrong end of a blowout loss. They rang the Bengals to a stunning 27-3 victory. That was Tannehill, that was Joe Burrow 20-30, 165 yards and no TD. That was week 4 last year and we see the Bengals favored in Nashville again. After a few low scoring Bengals wins in row in the series only about a 1 out of last 4 matchups 25% of the Bengals to cover. The total at 46 and really with the Bengals having 9 overs this year its hard to say this is going to be an UNDER, but this is cold weather football and while Will Levis may not league wide as a top 15 QB he has shown why the Titans drafted and then stuck with him during wins like the Houston game. I will probably just go with the Bengals again and put that with the UNDER. I expect the Titans to try to run the ball and play their game plan. The Under is my best pick here even though I know the Bengals are really good on offense and really bad on D. I think the Bengals find a way to win this one but if the Titans were to say sneak a halftime lead then know before you put your dollars there this Titans team is capable of the upset outright, and one can definitely make a mathematical based decision that Tennessee with the points is statistically the best pick.

    The Chargers are my pick to win the game against Tampa, at -150 money line I either take it there or try my luck getting it even money on live bet. Either way think this is a low scoring one as well but consensus is squarely on the over and that is a number where it can go either way like 27-20 or 23-20 so there it goes. Just the Chargers for me.

    The night game looks to have the action on the road team and the over, but I expect this to be another December night game and most likely an UNDER play for me. Consensus 62% on the over but I won’t let that deter me. The Seahawks defense is used to seeing SF with the motion, they are at least able to stay in those games and finally got over the hump. This is a different group in Green Bay and playoff style football might be in order tonight as Seattle is in position for Geno Smith to win the division and have a dream run.

    Turkey Day thru Sunday NFL Picks The Lions playing the best I’ve ever seen them in my lifetime as of late. The Bears look to have their bread basket open for a thorough beating but a Quick Look at the head to head in this matchup tells me not so fast. Last year it appears as though the Bears at least had a gameplay last year, with the question being how much of that was Justin Fields? I see the consensus loaded up on the Lions as it has been pretty much every game this year. Knowing the Lions are capable of the blowout is one way of looking at this, but this is Chicago’s third division game in a row, the first two went straight down hill, well they may have covered but that looked really lucky. Therefore it is with great hesitation that I fade consensus and take the points here. 305Bears +10 Dallas vs NY Giants and as bad as things have been Cooper Rush still has a winning record against everyone not named the Eagles. I’ve been wrong every time I picked Dallas this year but the reign of this matchup has been historically lopsided Dallas made the Daniel Jones era look like a giant mistake. There is still a game here and with the Cowboys having an outside shot at a wildcard, maybe in dream world at least, I still have to say they have had their way with the Giants so is Devito the answer for big blue? I don’t know but there is a still a game and Dallas hasn’t been very good on Turkey Day but I’ll take Dallas over NYG here. 308Cowboys -3.5ç The likely best game of the day on Thursday features two coaches who worked together under Shanahan in Atlanta and Washington, with McDaniels becoming the 49ers OC. What can be expected is the very thing that makes these offenses very difficult to read pre snap as in the amount of motion as Lafleur calls it ,”the Illusion of complexity” giving nightmares to defenses. Last week the Dolphins used motion on 93.7 percent of their plays beating the Patriots. This is both teams running very similar offenses. The complexity is off that pre snap motion both teams use the pass to the running backs at a very high rate. While the 49ers were maybe the leagues most injury riddled team of the season, the Dolphins had their injuries early and have hit a win streak with Tua playing at an All Pro rate since his return in week 8, they even had their chances in Buffalo but just couldn’t finish the job. This is going be a very entertaining game to watch. Consensus at least for now resides strictly with Lafleur and the Pack 75% of the 175k on the Packers -3, and 91% of the 26k on -175 Packers money line. There is always the weather to worry about this time of year in Wisconsin and with a 60/40 split towards over 47 I’m going to say that is a very well set total number and leave the total alone. These two haven’t met since A Rod was QB in 2022 so this is truly a new matchup. I anticipate at some point someone will feel the same way and take the Dolphins but its really hard as Green Bay is a contender along with Detroit and Philly in the NFC and the Dolphins even with a win a still yet to win in the playoffs. They have won 3 in a row and the spread does give a little room for them to lose 24-23, with the difference being can the Dolphins put together a game winning drive even on the road in November? If they can’t win this game then really is their any point in putting them as having a shot vs. KC, Buffalo, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, or anyone else they might get in the playoffs should they make that jump? I’ll take the points here just to take the points but if they are going to keep this unit in Miami they’ve got to beat someone at some point. Liked it better at 3.5 but it looks like 3. 309Dolphins +3 Raiders vs. Chiefs – Well why did they keep Antonio Pierce for another year? Well with pretty much this roster he was able to deliver a Christmas Day Miracle for Silver and Black last year as they beat the Chiefs, frustration from Kelce. However they just met in October and it was a 27-20 victory for the Chiefs. With Buffalo on their heels and owning a tie breaker I don’t expect the Chiefs to overlook the Raiders at all. The question is then when is it really just too many points? At 12.5 thats a lot of points and to that I’ll say it’s about a 60% chance the Raiders keep it within the number because the last 10 meetings only 4 would the Chiefs have covered. That being said the Raiders are on a losing streak and is that really where you want to put your hard earned dollars? I would pass on this game but somehow I have always managed a place in my heart for the Raiders which has led me to watch more Chiefs games so I’ll just say this and its a fact the Chiefs are the better team going for the league first 3 peat this year, so their goal has to be get the win without suffering major injuries. Consensus clearly on the Chiefs here, but with 77% of 67k this game is clearly not as attractive the betters as Thanksgiving is. I can’t honestly go with the Raiders ...
