Seattle +3½ -108 over CHICAGO
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Bears are better with Jay Cutler in the lineup, no question about it. The Seahawks don’t win often away from home, no question about that either. Both situations apply here but we’re not so sure either will matter. This figures to be a defensive battle to the bitter end. It won’t help Chicago that its infirmary is getting busier by the day and the Bears could be without several starters for this one, most notably on the offensive line. Seattle is best when taking points having covered 11 of 12 under Pete Carroll and ascending QB Russell Wilson has improved in road games. A field goal should decide this one and that will earn us a cover.

DETROIT vs. Indianapolis
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Not only are the 4-7 Lions favoured over the 7-4 Colts, the line keeps going up. What gives? For one, the Colts will be on the road for the third time in four weeks. Away from home is not where Indianapolis is best with two wins in five tries and those victories coming in Tennessee and Jacksonville. Andrew Luck’s passing rating drops more than 20 points outside of his own venue. The Lions are a screwy bunch, outgaining most of their opponents (including Green Bay and Houston in previous two) but failing to put the final touches on their work. With 10 days rest and the possibility of getting swept in a 3-game home stand, we’re confident Detroit can get up off the canvas with a solid showing here.

DALLAS -10 -110 over Philadelphia
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Sunday night planners anticipated a big showdown here. Instead, this battle of NFC East opponents is more like a game of solitaire. As absurd as it may seem to lay this kind of lumber with Dallas, it pales in comparison to backing an Eagles team that has clearly quit and is void of playmakers. No units risked

Can we abstain on this one? Guess not. The dilemma is that the Chargers don’t really deserve to be underdogs at home to these Bengals. But these Dolts find unique ways to blow games and there is a fear factor in endorsing them. Bengals have been solid but defense can be exploited. Anticipate a shoot out. No units risked

Bucs playing well and we’d understand the trepidation in going against them. After all, they haven’t lost a game by more than seven points this year. However, the Tampa pass defenders are still the worst in the league, relinquishing in excess of 315 yds. per game. Peyton should have some fun with that. No units risked.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
New England has been pulverizing opponents, enamouring them even more to the betting public. Oddsmakers are well aware of this and the result is an inflated price. Pats are obviously very good but after playing defences of Rams, Bills, Colts and Jets, this Miami stop unit poses more of a challenge. No units risked.

The Jaguars have improved since Chad Henne has taken over quarterback duties but let’s not get carried away. Henne was sacked seven times, threw one pick and had just 17 completions in win over lowly Titans. Buffalo has covered 3 of 4 as chalk this year and will have home weather advantage. No units risked.

Obviously, the Texans are the stronger club here. But can they be trusted? They allowed the visiting Jaguars to take them to overtime, followed with a substandard game in Detroit. They’ve been off and perhaps focusing on hosting the Patriots next Monday. Prohibitive divisional road faves always risky. No units risked.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
It is extremely difficult to get behind the Chiefs these days, losers of eight straight and scoring the least amount of points in the NFL. But spotting road points on consecutive weeks with these unpolished Panthers is something we’re not prepared to do. Since both can’t lose, we’ll lean to KC. No units risked.

The quarterback situation in Arizona is so bad that they’re actually hoping for Kevin Kolb to return. Still, no matter how dire that situation may be, can’t bring ourselves to spot a bunch of points with this anemic Jets offence. The Cardinals defence figures to keep the birds within striking distance throughout. No units risked.

The Rams have just two wins in past eight weeks, both against the struggling Cardinals. However, the 49ers seem to bring out the best in St. Louis with four covers in previous five including bizarre 24-24 tie three weeks ago in San Fran. Niners playing well but lost a couple of significant guys last week. No units risked.

Packers have owned the Vikings in recent times but this Green Bay group is not whole. A makeshift offensive line has Aaron Rodgers chomping on turf too often and Minnesota has the personnel to continue the onslaught.

Houston vs. Tennessee
Pick: Tennessee
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Houston is in their single worst spot of the entire season. The Texans played an OT barnburner in Detroit last week, escaping with a hard fought three point win. The previous week, the Texans pulled a ‘refuse-to-lose’ at home against the Jags, rallying from two TD’s behind in the fourth quarter for another OT win.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The week before that, the Texans were in a tough, physical game at Chicago in nasty, cold conditions that also was a one score game throughout. That’s three consecutive ‘max effort’ games in a row.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Up next for Houston? An AFC showdown at New England on Monday Night Football, with a chance to put themselves firmly in position for homefield edge throughout the playoffs. In between those previous games and the Monday Night showdown is the middle game of this three game road trip, at Tennessee. The Texans beat the Titans 38-14 back in September. They won here in Nashville 41-7 last year. Do you really think that the Texans are fully focused on the task a hand here?
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
And even if they are, the Texans injury situation on defense is a real problem right now. Already missing star linebacker Brian Cushing, they’ll also be without LB’s Brooks Reed and Bradie James here, along with pro bowl caliber cornerback Johnathan Joseph. They’ve allowed 458 yards to Jacksonville and 525 yards against Detroit in their last two ballgames, their worst two defensive showings of the entire season. Head coach Gary Kubiak: “I'm concerned about the health of our team right now. But that's part of this business this time of year, so we've got to figure out a way to be as good as we can be on Sunday. It's something we've got to deal with.”
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Titans lost at lowly Jacksonville last week and got blown out at home 51-20 by the Bears in their last game on this field – this is a maximum motivational spot for the home underdog. Head coach Mike Munchak fired offensive coordinator Chris Palmer on Monday, and new coordinator (former QB coach) Dowell Loggains has simplified the gameplan for Jake Locker, in an effort to create more big plays downfield. Meanwhile, Chris Johnson is poised for a big afternoon facing the Texans depleted linebacking corps. The outright upset here is a very real possibility! Take Tennessee.

Seattle vs. Chicago
Pick: SeattleFOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
If the playoffs were to start this week, the Bears would be hosting the Seahawks in the opening round. The question isn’t whether rookie QB Russell Wilson would be up to the task (he would). The unknown is whether Jay Cutler would be behind center. Chicago’s oft-injured signal caller is back in the lineup this week. However, five other Bears starters all left last week’s game and did not return, including G’s Lance Louis and Chris Spencer, both with bad knees. Add RB Matt Forte and WR Devin Hester to the banged-up mix and suddenly the Bears’ offense finds itself clawless going up against the loop’s 5th ranked defense. Making matters worse for the Windy City wonders is Chicago’s 1-7-1 ATS mark as home chalk off a home game. Aside from this being a live division sandwich for the Bears (off the Vikings last week with the Packers up next), Seattle enters 5-1 ATS this season as a dog behind Wilson, including four straight-up victories. The Seahawks’ 6-1 SUATS log in Game Twelve’s and Bears’ 0-5 ATS mark in Game Twelve’s does it. Grab the points in this playoff test run. We recommend a 1-unit play on Seattle.

Carolina vs. Kansas City
Pick: Carolina
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
I see good value in taking the Carolina Panthers to cover the spread against a struggling Kansas City Chiefs team. Kansas City has been finding ways to lose games all year mainly because of it's offensive struggles. I see no reason for that trend to stop this week.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Carolina is coming off an impressive win on the road on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles and they’ll look to continue their strong play with a visit to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Panthers have done very well against the spread while on the road, going 4-1 so far this season. In two games in which they were favourites on the road they’ve gone 1-1.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Chiefs defense was impressive last week, holding Denver to just 17 points; however, the offense continues to struggle as they were held to under 10 points for a second straight week, and under 20 points for the seventh game in a row.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Kansas City will lean heavily on its fourth-ranked run game, but with little variety in their play-calling, the Panthers defense will be able to key-in on certain weapons, specifically Jamaal Charles. The Chiefs have had struggles putting points on the board due to their inability to confuse their opponent in the red-zone, and there’s no signs of anything changing for this week.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Carolina’s sophomore quarterback Cam Newton had one of his best games of the season this year after slumping for a good part of the year. He threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more against the Eagles, and will be coming into this week with plenty of confidence.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Remember: Kansas City is a terrible 0-5 ATS this year when playing in a game where the line is between -3 and +3. The Panthers are 2-1 ATS this year when facing a team with a losing record.

Indianapolis vs. Detroit
Pick: Under
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
This matches the highest posted total on the board for Sunday's slate of games, but I'm not sure it's warranted.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Note that while the Colts are thought of as an explosive offensive team, the fact is, they've topped out at 24 points in six of their last seven, and nine of 11 games overall this season. They managed only 20 points against a below average Bills defense at home last Sunday.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
There's no question, the Lions should play with an edge on Sunday, as they've dropped three games in a row, and have had some extra time to think about their most recent setback, a disheartening 34-31 overtime loss to the Texans on Thanksgiving Day.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Much like the Colts, the Lions have a reputation for being an offensive juggernaut. Sure, they have plenty of talent, but that hasn't always translated into positive results on the field this season. They put up 31 points against a tough, but undermanned, Texans defense last Sunday, but prior to that, had been held to just 44 points in their last two games combined.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Defensively, the Colts have gotten a lot stronger as the season has progressed. Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that they've stayed relatively healthy - in fact, they've gotten healthier as the season has gone on, with Pat Angerer returning, and Vontae Davis expected to play for the first time since Week 8 on Sunday. Yes, Indy was ripped by the Patriots two weeks ago, but how many teams wouldn't suffer that same feat given how well the Pats are performing. Outside of that, the Colts have allowed 20 points or less in four of their last five contests, and exactly 13 points in three of those.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Lions have been ripped for 34, 24, and 34 points in their last three games, but that most recent result comes with an asterisk. The Texans scored 31 points in regulation time, but seven of those came on an 81-yard Justin Forsett touchdown run that of course should have never happened as he was clearly down by contact. The fact is, the Lions were able to frustrate a strong Texans offense for much of the day.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
This game means a lot to both teams, albeit for very different reasons. The Colts continue to push toward the postseason, while the Lions look to stop the bleeding following three consecutive losses. Expect a hard-fought, lower-scoring than anticipated battle on Sunday in Motown.

Cleveland vs. Oakland
Pick: Cleveland
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
While certainly not one of the more attractive matchups on paper this Sunday, I nonetheless feel Browns-Raiders offers some great value, in this case on the road team. Cleveland, who has been competitive in virtually every game this season, comes off a confidence building win over the rival Steelers, just their second win in 18 meetings with Pittsburgh.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Raiders, on the other hand, are coming off four straight blowout losses, all by double digits. They have allowed an average of 42.2 points per game during the losing skid, which continued last week with a 34-10 loss at Cincinnati. While both of these teams now own victories over the Steelers this season, the Browns were more than competitive with the Bengals, beating them once and losing by just one touchdown in the first meetings. That is one of five Cleveland losses by seven points or less this season. Meanwhile, only one of Oakland's eight losses have come by less than eight points.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
I need to mention that Browns QB Brandon Weeden is listed as proabable for this matchup. If he doesn't play (concussion), I still like the play, but not as much. Cleveland has dropped an NFL high 12 straight road games. That streak is bound to end soon, just like the team's losing skid against Pittsburgh. Oakland should never be favored against anyone, as evidenced by their 0-4 ATS mark in the chalk role this season. Small recommendation on Cleveland.

New York (7-4) snapped their two-game losing streak after their bye week by crushing Green Bay by a 38-10 margin. The Giants have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a win by at least two touchdowns. New York has also played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after scoring at least 30 points in their last game. Additionally, the Giants have played 13 of their last 16 games Under the Total after a victory. And in their last 7 games on the road, the defending Super Bowl champs have played 6 of these games Under the Total. Washington (5-6) comes off their 38-31 win at Dallas last week -- which makes the Under 3-1-1 in their last 5 games against NFC East opponents. The Redskins have also played 11 of their last 15 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. Take the Under in this one.

It is significant that the Dolphins enter with a .454 winning percentage. That’s because the Pats are 6-0 against the spread the last three seasons versus teams that carry winning percentages of .400 to .490. They have won these six by an average score of 42.2 to 12.8.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +8
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Buccaneers had a chance to take over the second Wild Card spot this past week with a win over Atlanta, but they squandered a 23-17 lead in the 4th quarter to snap their four-game winning streak. Tampa Bay is battling Minnesota and Seattle but the Seahawks hold the tie-breaker which means Tampa Bay has a lot of work to do over the final four weeks of the season.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Tampa Bay appears to be showing a lot of value this week as a 8-point underdog. Tampa Bay hasn’t lost a single game all season by more than a touchdown and I don’t think people realize just how well this team has been playing of late. You also have to factor in that Peyton Manning and the Broncos are one of the more popular teams in the NFL at the moment. The public has quickly fallen in love with this team and it’s not all that surprising given their current winning streak. Oddsmakers have taken advantage of this by setting the Broncos lines too high. Denver has failed to cover the number in two straight games.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Buccaneers offense could pose a threat in this one, despite the Broncos impressive numbers. Denver ranks 5th in the NFL against the pass (209.6 ypg) and 9th against the run (98.7 ypg). We saw Jamaal Charles of the Chiefs help Kansas City rush for 148 yards against that Denver defense and earlier this season the Patriots put up 251 yards on the ground. Tampa Bay has one of the most electrifying backs in the NFL in Doug Martin, and I think his speed and agility will give the Broncos front seven a lot of trouble. Denver is going to have to load the box to try and stop Martin, which should open up some passing lanes for quarterback Josh Freeman to exploit.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Tampa Bay is 14-5 ATS as a road underdog over the last three seasons and are a perfect 6-0 ATS as a road underdog of 3.5 to 7 points during that stretch.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Patriots after blowing out the New York Jets 49-19 on Thanksgiving night , now make it very tough for any bettor to feel comfortable betting against them. But darn it, there is still value here taking the Miami Dolphins as a touchdown plus home dog in this spot. Especially if they can keep the Patriots from being able to run the ball, which in turn makes the Patriots more easy to read, if they have to almost solely depend on Tom Brady looking downfield. The Dolphins have proven to be a challenging defense to run against, as is evident by ranking fifth best in the NFL for fewest yards allowed per carry (3.7 avg.). I know the Dolphins gave up some yards to Chris Brown in week 10 , but that was just a glitch in my humble opinion. With that said, Im betting the Fins make NE offense one dimensional, and for pass rushing threat Cameron Wake to consistently make QB Brady very uncomfortable in the pocket.

The Giants needed a bye to get their act together. Last week, their defensive line simply dominated Green Bay’s offensive line, in a 38-10 home win giving 1. The Giants moved Mathias Kiwanuka to DT, where he is a mismatch for most OL including Washington’s mediocre lot. The Giants also sat their safeties back in coverage to take away the deep ball.
