New England Patriots @ Cincinnati Bengals (NE -10, 42) 1 PM
The Patriots are 2-3 SU and 1-4 ATS against teams with winning records. However, they are 8-0 SU and 6-2 ATS against teams with losing records. The have an average winning margin of 18.7 and allow only 8.4 points per game in those games. The Bengals ranks 31st in points per game and I think the Pats offense is good enough to outscore the Bengals defense by 10. Final Score Prediction: Bengals 10 Patriots 27
Bet: NE -10
Confidence: 5 Units
Result: Patriots 34 Bengals 13
Denver Broncos @ Kansas City Chiefs (KC -9.5, 43.5) 1 PM
Have you seen the weather in Kansas City today? It’s a blizzard and the entire field is covered in snow. Drew Lock played at Missouri so he’s familiar with this type of weather,b but Patrick Mahomes, a kid from Texas, should be a fun watch. Ultimately, I think we see more running in this game than passing and the Broncos have the advantage. The Chiefs allow 137.7 rushing yards per game which ranks 28th. I expect Phillip Lindsay to have a good day and keep this within one score for a much improved Broncos team against a still trying to figure things out Chiefs team. Final Score Prediction: Broncos 21 Chiefs 24
Bet: DEN +9.5
Confidence: 2 Units
Result: Broncos 3 Chiefs 23
Minnesota Vikings @ LA Chargers (MIN -1, 45) 4:05 PM
The Chargers defense is final healthy and flying all over the field. They held the Chiefs to 24 points a few weeks back, the Packers to only 11. They looked like the team we expected them to be last week in their 45-10 win in Jacksonville. I think they come home and will want to prove something. Problem is I don’t trust Phillip Rivers against a good Vikings defense. I think both quarterbacks will struggle and will have to rely on their running games to produce points. Therefore, I like the under in this game. Final Score Prediction: Vikings 20 Chargers 17
Bet: Under 45
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Vikings 39 Chargers 10
Today’s Record: 1-2
All-Time Record: 18-25 (41.9%)
