N.Y. JETS @ BALTIMORE | 12/12 | 8:20 PM EST
Baltimore’s offensive juggernaut has been MIA the past two weeks with just 44 points scored (though, in fairness, weather conditions were a factor.) Given that New York has yielded just four touchdowns over the last four games, a modest score that allows the visitors to stay within two TDs is foreseeable. The Jets have lost but once straight-up in their last five, while the Ravens are 2-4 ATS at home.

N.Y. JETS @ BALTIMORE | 12/12 | 8:20 PM EST
With a total of 45 on this game, we're getting too much value not to take the Jets. I know they're beat up and probably have had the worst injury luck of any team this year, but underdogs of 15 or more in games that have totals of 45 or less are 53-42-1 ATS all time. The Jets also sport a quality run defense, which could at least slow down Lamar Jackson and Co. a little bit on the ground. With Jackson dealing with a quad injury and his left tackle out, I don't see the Ravens running up the score. The Ravens should win, but I'd be surprised if the Jets didn't cover.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson suffered a quad injury last week and has been limited in practice on a short week. I’m willing to take all these points just on the notion that Jackson will not be 100 percent and maybe not do some of the things that make the Ravens the top running and highest-scoring team. The Jets only allow 75 ypg rushing and have won four of their last five. I’m on the Jets.

BALTIMORE -15
N.Y. JETS @ BALTIMORE | 12/12 | 8:20 PM EST
The Jets won a close game last week against Miami. What has been overlooked is that the Dolphins kicked seven field goals, so they got into scoring position seven times. That's a lot of opportunities. This week, Gang Green faces the NFL’s top offense, which does a great job getting into the end zone. The Ravens also have one of the league’s best defenses.
42-27 IN LAST 69 NFL ATS PICKS | +1198

BOSTON -105
PHILADELPHIA @ BOSTON | 12/12 | 8:00 PM EST
10:01 AM
Give the edge to the Celtics at home, where they are a perfect 10-0. Philadelphia also has been perfect at home but is just 5-7 on the road, where it is a much different team on both ends of the floor. The 76ers have dropped five staight ATS in Boston. The Celtics are coming off a tough loss in Indiana and have dropped back-to-back games just once this season.

The Mavericks are well-rested after having their five-game winning streak snapped. They are 8-2 on the road this season and average a robust 118 points, which is third in the NBA. Dallas is 8-1 ATS in its last nine games as a favorite. The Pistons are playing better thanks to their defense, which is sure to be tested here. Detroit is just 5-14 ATS its last 19 games as an underdog.

NORTHERN IOWA @ GRAND CANYON | 12/12 | 9:00 PM EST
9:48 AM
The Panthers are coming off an upset victory over a ranked Colorado team and now hope to avoid being upset. They lost to Grand Canyon last season, so they will be more than prepared for this one behind a defense that is allowing just 62 points per game. Their lone loss was a five-point setback against an underrated West Virginia team. The Antelopes are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as a home underdog.

N.Y. JETS @ BALTIMORE | 12/12 | 8:20 PM EST
10:13 AM
The Ravens are riding a franchise-record nine-game winning streak and showing no signs of slowing down despite QB Lamar Jackson's hamstring issue. The Jets have struggled against the pass but have one of the top rushing defenses. However, no one has been able to slow down Jackson - on the ground or through the air.
4-1 IN LAST 5 NFL ATS PICKS | +292
WINNIPEG -1.5
WINNIPEG @ DETROIT | 12/12 | 7:30 PM EST
10:09 AM
The Red Wings continue to struggle, and we will continue to fade them and pad our bankroll. This is the back end of a home-and-home as the Jets triumphed 5-1 two days ago. Winnipeg is 9-2-1 in its last 12, allowing a total of 25 goals during this stretch. Detroit, which is one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL, has lost six straight at home and G Jonathan Bernier is 0-5-1 in his last six starts. Jets puck line (+134) is the play.

The Panthers are just 5-5-0 in their last 10 games but they are 9-5-2 at home. The Islanders are just 5-4-1 in their last 10 games but they are 8-5-1 on the road. These teams have already played twice this season in New York, with the Islanders winning both games. Look for the Panthers to get some revenge on home ice.

CHICAGO @ ARIZONA | 12/12 | 9:00 PM EST

My model says that the Blackhawks cover the spread 78 percent of the time, so you're getting excellent value playing them at this spread. Chicago lost to Arizona in a shootout at home on Sunday as C Jonathan Toews posted a three-point performance. Blackhawks G Robin Lehner is 5-0-1 with a shutout and a 2.14 GAA in six career games against the Coyotes. Take Chicago +1.5 goals at -193.
3-2 LAST 5 NHL SIDES | +110

PHILADELPHIA @ BOSTON | 12/12 | 8:00 PM EST

My model says that the Celtics cover the spread 67 percent of the time, so you're getting great value playing them at this point spread. Boston is a perfect 10-0 at home this season and has suffered back-to-back losses just once. Philadelphia defeated Boston at home in its season opener but is only 5-7 on the road. Take the Celtics and the points.
