Accuscore

Green Bay -3.5 at Detroit Lions

The Packers win this game 65% of the time and by double digits 38% of the time. The Lions have played poorly the past couple seasons against truly quality opponents, and have really struggled this season. Opposing quarterbacks against Detroit are having field days completing about two-thirds of their passes and nearly a 3-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The Lions just aren’t a good team this season. It might be time to stop waiting for that to happen.
Cleveland Browns +9.5 at Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys finally showed some life last week scoring 38 points in a big win over the Eagles, so why am I picking against them this weekend? Well for one, it was the Eagles who are the Titanic of this NFL season. Second, Dallas needed a punt return and interception return for scores in the fourth quarter to pull away late. The Browns are coming off a bye week, and should be healthy and rested for this game. They do have Trent Richardson in order to churn some rushing yards, and with the way Dallas has struggled with injuries to their own running backs, Cleveland could shorten the game by maintaining possession even without scoring too many points. AccuScore projects the Browns to cover 55 percent of the time.

Calgary vs. BC Lions
Pick: Calgary
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
While I respect the champs, I believe that this is quite a generous line on the visitors. The Stampeders won 41-21 the last time that these teams met, at Calgary on 10/26. Prior to that, in the most recent meeting at BC, the game was decided by five points, a 27-22 victory for the Lions on 10/6 ...
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Including that result, four of the last five meetings between these teams, here at Vancouver, have been decided by five or fewer points. (The other was a blowout win for Calgary.)
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Lions eked out a cover in that 10/6 game, as the line was 4.5. However, the same score this time would result in a Calgary cover. Looking back further finds that the Stamps were a perfect 4-0 ATS their previous four trips here. Consider taking the points.

Jacksonville vs. Houston
Pick: Jacksonville
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The rewards of success are often times measured in penalties and taxes. In the case of the Texans, the tax they pay today is having to lay more points in a game than they ever have in their franchise history. In 2009, in the throes of the first winning season in its expansion history, Houston reached the summit when they laid 14 points against the helpless Jaguars. An end-result 16-13 escape-win confirmed the difficulty in ‘getting up’ for a punching bag. Today, off Monday night’s grueling battle with the Bears, Garry Kubiak’s club is asked to continue its ascent against another club fighter. One who, by the way, is 2-0 ATS in its franchise history when taking 14 or more points (see Green Bay earlier this year). Tie all of that into Jacksonville head coach Mike Mularkey’s brilliant 8-0 ATS NFL career mark on the road in games off a loss, along with the Jags’ 15-5-1 ATS franchise record as a division road dog with revenge (13-2-1 ATS of late), and it comes as no surprise to see the Texans fall to 0-5-3 ATS as favorites in games off an upset win. Pay the fine and you lose. Take it to small claims court and you win. The choice is yours. We recommend a 1-unit play on Jacksonville.

Green Bay vs. Detroit
Pick: Over
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
This may seem like a rather high total on first glance, but the fact is, we saw a considerably higher number when these two teams met on this same field last Thanksgiving (closed at 55). It's only the second-highest total we've seen in a game involving the Packers this season - the total closed at 54 points for their game against the Saints back on September 30th - a game that reached 55 points.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Packers were rolling along nicely leading up to their bye week, having scored 42, 30, 24, and 31 points in their last four games - all victories. The bye certainly hasn't thrown them off course in the last couple of years; in 2010 they put up 31 points in the week following, and last year scored 45 points in a wild victory in San Diego.

There's a reason Green Bay is doing everything it can to get WR Jordy Nelson healthy for this contest. The Packers know that they're likely in for a fire-fight against a desperate Lions squad. Keep in mind, Green Bay is far from full strength on the defensive side of the ball - already missing Charles Woodson among others, they'll also likely be forced to go without Clay Matthews on Sunday.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
After sputtering in late September and early October, the Lions have turned things around offensively, scoring 83 points in their last three games, two of those performances resulting in wins. However, at 4-5 on the season, this is definitely a hungry football team. It's unlikely we'll see Detroit ease off the gas pedal one bit in this one, knowing that it will need a peak offensive effort to prevail.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Let's give Lions QB Matt Stafford some credit, as he's completed over 67% of his passes for close to 1,000 yards, six touchdowns, and only two interceptions over his last three games. He's more than familiar with the Packers defense, but is used to be harrassed by guys like Woodson and Matthews. This is a game where he and WR Calvin Johnson - who is coming off a 200+ yard receiving day - should shine.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Surprisingly enough, we haven't seen many shootouts between these two potent offenses in recent years, and that helps to keep the total in check this week. I'm confident the losing team will at least get into the 24-27 point range, and that sets us up well with the number currently sitting in the low-50s.

Indianapolis vs. New England
Pick: Over
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Colts have been playing great Football led by their young phenom and a team winning for a cause. Coach Pagano's bout with leukemia and his emotional locker room speeches have put a charge into the Colts as they come into this game with a playoff bound 6-3 record. The team has won 4 straight games SU & ATS with QB Luck breaking a rookie record with an awesome 433 yards against Miami. They have won their last 2 road games, 27-10 at Jacksonville convincingly and 19-13 at Tennessee in OT.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Andrew Luck has received praise from everyone around him for his poise, leadership, athletic ability and work ethic and it has shown on the field as the 1st overall pick is doing it with his arm and legs with 2,631 passing yards, 10 TD and 9 INT (2 last 4 games). On the ground he has run for 159 yards when needed with 5 TD but most importantly he is leading his team to victories. Luck has rejuvenated 34 year old WR Reggie Wayne's career with 931 receiving yards this season to rank 2nd in the NFL.

The offense has posted 387.3 total YPG while the defense has allowed 350.6 total YPG. Colts games have averaged 43 PPG while the Over has cashed 3 out of 9 games this season.

The New England Patriots are 6-3 SU and 5-4 ATS. The team is 3-0 SU in their last 3 games however they are 1-2 ATS as they have failed to cover large spreads at Foxboro in B2B games. The Patriots have had little trouble moving the ball as they have posted 430.3 total YPG to rank #1 in the NFL. The defense however, has had little trouble letting opposing offenses move the ball as they have given up 382.1 YPG to rank #25.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
QB Tom Brady leads an awesome passing attack that ranks 7th in the NFL while the run game has been at its best in years averaging 146 YPG on the ground to rank 5th in the NFL. The team ranks #1 in the NFL in scoring with 33.2 PPG while the defense ranks 15th allowing 22.3 PPG for an average total of 55.5 PPG. The Pats have dictated the pace of games all season as the "Over" has cashed in 7 straight games!
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Pats have made a season out of scoring a tonne of points while giving up their share on the defensive end. I expect this game to be close as Indy is playing inspired ball under the circumstances. Expect QB Luck to match QB Brady TD for TD in this tight, high scoring affair.

Cincinnati vs. Kansas City
Pick: Kansas City
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
As difficult as it may be to back the Chiefs, I'll do so as they are in a pretty good spot Sunday catching points at home against a Bengals team that will be in prime letdown mode after upsetting the Giants last week. Kansas City finally held a lead in regulation last week jumping out to a 10-0 over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football before succumbing in overtime. But I think even with the short week, being back at home will provide a lift and a team that's admittedly been done in by turnovers all year is certainly capable of pulling the upset.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Up until beating the Giants last week at home, the Bengals had shared KC's penchant for turning the ball over. Quarterback Andy Dalton in particular had turned it over multiple times in every game during the team's four game win streak. Last week was actually the first game all season that Dalton wasn't intercepted at least once. This will also be the first time in five weeks that Cincinnati has hit the road. It's dangerous for them to be laying points given their 0-2-1 ATS mark in the chalk role this season. Two of those came against the Browns and the other against Miami. One of the games against Cleveland was obviously on the road and the result was a 10-point outright loss.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Kansas City, while 1-8 and coming off yet another tough defeat, still has pride to play for and certainly won't want to go the whole season without winning a single home game. This represents one of their better opportunities for a win at Arrowhead Stadium. They have played the AFC North heavyweights tough - losing to both the Ravens and Steelers by only a field goal. No reason to think they can't compete with Cincinnati.

Washington Redskins -3.5
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Eagles are really struggling. They have lost five in a row by an average of 9.6 points. Their last three losses have come by 13 points or more. They are 0-4 against the spread in their last four games and 1-7-1 against the spread on the season.

Some teams are great investments in bounce back spots, but Philadelphia isn’t one of them. The Eagles, who lost 38-23 to the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday, are 5-15-1 against the spread in their last 21 games following a loss and 0-4 against the spread in their last four games following a loss of more than 14 points.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Eagles have been a turnover waiting to happen this season. They have committed 21 turnovers while forcing just 10. The Redskins, on the other hand, have committed just nine while forcing 16. The team that wins the turnover battle often wins the game.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Washington is one of the better offensive teams in the NFL. It ranks seventh in total offense with 381.8 yards per game and 11th in scoring with 25.1 points per game. It should find success against a Philadelphia defense that has given up 30.5 points and 376.5 yards over its last four games.

It should also be mentioned that the Redskins are on a 7-2 against the spread run versus NFC East foes. Lay the points.

Two extra days to prepare for the Colts The last four weeks they played Jacksonville, Miami, Tennessee and Cleveland with only one victory by more than 4 points The last three weeks Indy has passed for 8.5, 8.7 and 7.5 yards per pass attempt The defense which looked so bad in the opener at Chicago has now gone eight straight games allowing 365 total yards or less These two have met each of the last six seasons with the Patriots never winning by more than 7 points and that was last year as a 20 1/2 point home favorite

Chargers / Broncos
Play: Over 48½
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Strong NFL system here and both of these teams are capable of scoring quickly and both have pass oriented offenses. 5 of the last 6 games between these two teams have gone over the posted total and I look for another shoot-out Sunday afternoon. The Over/Under is 100% perfect 5-0 in the Broncos last 5 games after they have held their opponents to less than 15 points in their previous game. The O/U is 7-1 for the Broncos in their last 8 games against an AFC opponent and both of these offenses are starting to get going at this point in the season. Take the Chargers/Broncos Game Total Over the posted number of 48.5.

Houston Texans -14.5
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Texans have had the exact opposite start to the season than the Jaguars. They lead the AFC with an overall record of 8-1 and come into this game having won three straight since that embarrassing loss to the Packers back in Week 6. Laying a big number with the Texans hasn’t been much of a problem so far this season. Houston has been favored by double-digits three times and they have won and covered in each of those games. It’s a big reason why the Texans are a very profitable 7-2 ATS this season.

Even if the offense doesn’t show up to play in this game, there is good possibility the defense will be able to keep this Jaguars offense in check. Jacksonville is hands down the worst offensive team in the NFL. They rank 31st in passing offense at 184.8 ypg and 30th in rushing offense at 78.8 ypg. To no surprise, they are averaging a league-worst 14.1 ppg. The other huge factor is the Texans won’t have to worry about Maurice Jones-Drew, who scored the only offensive touchdown for the Jaguars back in the first matchup.

The Texans have certainly not let up against their division rivals lately. Houston is a perfect 6-0 ATS in home games vs division opponents over the last two seasons and are an amazing 12-3 ATS over their last 15 games following a win.

Indianapolis Colts vs. New England Patriots
Play: Indianapolis Colts

Indianapolis (6-3) comes off a solid 27-10 victory over Jacksonville on Thursday Night Football and head to New England (6-3) on a 4-game winning streak. While New England is leading the AFC East, the Patriots have recently won some close games due to their struggling defense, which has allowed 24 points or more in 5 of their last 7 games. The Pats come off a 37-31 victory over Buffalo, but that 6-point win dropped them to 2-13 ATS as favorites of 11 points or more, including 0-3 ATS as double-digit favorites this season. Colts are 4-0 ATS during their last 4 trips to New England building confidence with every victory behind QB Luck. With both teams owning 6-3 records, must back this dog getting nearly double-digits, as these teams are closer than the Oddsmakers would have you think.

Cleveland Browns vs. Dallas Cowboys
Play: Cleveland Browns

The Browns are in a nice spot here today as road dogs of 5 to 10 in non conference games off a home loss and prior home dog win have covered 10 of the last 13. Dallas has failed to cover 10 of the last 12 off a division game and are just 5-14 ats at home of late. NFL Dogs of 6 or more with rest have cashed over 80% of the time vs an opponent that has 1 or more wins. Look for Cleveland to cover here.

Indianapolis Colts +9.5
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The books have set this number above a touchdown because they realize that not too many bettors believe that the Colts are for real. However, Indianapolis just keeps proving its doubters wrong and I believe they will once again this weekend. Plus, they are playing for a head coach that has cancer, so you know this team is going to leave everything they have on the field each Sunday.

Indianapolis went into New England last year as a 20-point underdog and nearly pulled off the upset, falling by a final of 24-31. The Colts didn’t have Andrew Luck last year, and now they do. It certainly appears that he is going to be the next Peyton Manning with what he’s done so far in his rookie season. The Colts rank 8th in the league in passing offense at 277.9 yards/game.

When you look at the numbers, it’s hard to argue against the Colts being a legitimate 6-3 team. They rank 5th in the league in total offense at 387.3 yards per game, and a respectable 18th in total defense at 350.6 yards per game. They are outgaining opponents by an average of 36.7 yards/game, which is the sign of a quality squad.

The Patriots haven’t really been that dominant at home this season. They have lost to the Arizona Cardinals, and all three of their wins came by 10 points or fewer, including two by 6 points or less to the Jets and Bills. If the Cardinals, Jets and Bills took the Patriots down to the wire at Gillette Stadium, the Colts should be able to as well.

The Colts are 13-3 ATS vs. awful passing defenses – allowing 260 or more passing yards/game since 1992. New England ranks 29th in the league against the pass at 285.3 yards/game allowed. Indianapolis is 33-16-2 ATS in its last 51 vs. a team with a winning record. The underdog is 13-3-2 ATS in the last 18 meetings. Bet the Colts Sunday.
