NFL Week 15: Thursday Night Football Pick & Prediction

New York Jets @ Baltimore Ravens, M&T Bank Stadium, 8:20 PM, FOX/NFLN (Ravens -17.5, O/U: 43.5)

The Jets haven’t really looked that great all year. Darnold has had his moments (good but mostly bad) in his sophomore year. Robby Anderson has come on as of late but he’s the only one really producing that much for the team, with 100+ yards receiving the last 2 games and 3 touchdowns the last 4 games. Bell has been a bust to say the least.

The Ravens are on cloud 9 after their huge win last week over the Bills. Don’t look at the numbers of the game since it was ugly in offense. The Ravens punted 7 times which was nearly 1/3rd of all of their punts in the 13 weeks leading up to last week. Lamar Jackson has been amazing and a lot if the time, unstoppable. Mark Ingram has done well with the shared rushing duties as he had 887 yards and 9 TD’s. The defense is alive and well, led by Earl Thomas.

It’s hard to believe the line could be covered but if any team could do it, it would be the Ravens. Take the Ravens to cover in the over, Ravens 31-13.

NFL Week 14: Monday Night Football Pick & Prediction

New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles, Lincoln Financial Field, 8:15 PM, ESPN (Eagles -9.5, O/U: 45.5)

The Giants will be welcoming back their 2 time Super Bowl winning quarterback (Eli Manning) who they wildly moved off of in favor of their shiney new toy Danny Dimes in week 2. Eli has been complicit and helpful through the last 12 week’s of Jones’s career but the kid is hurt and the team hasn’t been playing well. Does it create a spark?

The Eagles also haven’t been playing great but are still within reach of the NFC East, which is in large part due to the Cowboys constantly shooting themselves in the foot with racking up losses. Wentz hasn’t looked good, missing wide open receivers at times, throws being off target in general but also struggling with decision making in the pocket. Miles Sanders and Jordan Howard have added some punch to their weak running game but signing Ajayi hasn’t done much for them as they were looking to use Sanders more in the passing game to help a struggling receiving corps.

Take the Giants to relive the days of old, covering in a close loss, in the over, Eagles 28-27.

NFL Week 14: Sunday Games Picks, Predictions & Colin Cowherd’s Blazin’ 5

Baltimore Ravens @ Buffalo Bills, New Era Field, 1:00 PM (Bills +6.5, O/U: 44.5)

 The Bills have a pretty good defense and that stadium has forced the Patriots into close games.  Jackson is too dynamic, however.  Take the Ravens to cover in the under, Ravens 27-20.

Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons, Mercedes-Benz Superdome, 1:00 PM (Falcons -3.5, O/U: 47.5)

 The Panthers dealt their team a coaching change before the end of the season and before they were officially eliminated from the playoffs, hopefully it changes the attitude of the team as well.  You don’t know which Falcons team you’ll get but they did spank the Panthers in their house a few weeks ago.  Take the Panthers to cover in the win, in the over, Panthers 27-24.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns, FirstEnergy Stadium, 1:00 PM (Browns -6.5, O/U: 42.5)

The Bengals are struggling so much that they threw Dalton back in under center.  The move seemed to have worked as they won their first game of the season handedly against the Jets.  The Browns couldn’t stop the Duck last week and for a defense that is supposed to be a top 10 defense on paper, they got embarrassed.  Take the Bengals to cover in the loss, in the under, Browns 20-14.

Denver Broncos @ Houston Texans, NRG Stadium, 1:00 PM (Texans -9.5, O/U: 43.5)

  The Broncos have been in almost all of their losses this year and without solid quarterback play.  Their defense has been the workhorse given that the offense sputters most of their drives.  Watson has been outstanding this year even while dealing with a cleat to the eye earlier this year.  Carlos Hyde is quietly having a career year while sharing the workload with Duke.  Hyde has never cracked the 1,000 yard mark and is poised to do so in 2019.  Take the Texans to cover in the over, Texans 31-20.

Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings, U.S. Bank Stadium, 1:00 PM (Vikings -11.5, O/U: 44.5)

Take the Vikings to cover in the over, Vikings 31-17.

Indianapolis Colts @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Raymond James Stadium, 1:00 PM (Buccs -3.5, O/U: 47.5)

 Take the Buccs to cover in the over, Buccs 28-24.

Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets, MetLife Stadium, 1:00 PM (Jets -5.5, O/U: 46.5)

Take the Dolphins to cover in the win, in the under, Dolphins 24-20.

San Francisco 49ers @ New Orleans Saints, Mercedes-Benz Superdome, 1:00 PM (Saints -1.5, O/U: 45.5)

 Take the 49ers to cover in the win, in the under, 49ers 23-20.

Washington Redskins @ Green Bay Packers, Lambeau Field, 1:00 PM (Packers -13.5, O/U: 42.5)

Take the Packers to cover in the over, Packers 31-17.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Jacksonville Jaguars, TIAA Bank Field, 4:05 PM (Jaguars +3.5, O/U: 42.5)

 Take the Jaguars to cover in the win, in the under, Jaguars 21-17.

Kansas City Chiefs @ New England Patriots, Gillette Stadium, 4:25 PM (Patriots -3.5, O/U: 49.5)

 Take the Chiefs to cover in the win, in the over, Chiefs 27-24.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Arizona Cardinals, University of Phoenix Stadium, 4:25 PM (Cardinals +2.5, O/U: 43.5)

Take the Steelers to cover in the over, Steelers 27-24.

Tennessee Titans @ Oakland Raiders, Oakland Coliseum, 4:25 PM (Raiders +3.5, O/U: 47.5)

Take the Raiders to cover in the over, Raiders 27-24.

Seattle Seahawks @ Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, 8:20 PM, NBC (Rams -1.5, O/U: 47.5)

Take the Seahawks to cover in the over, Seahawks 31-28.

Colin Cowherd’s Blazin’ 5:

  • Baltimore @ Buffalo – Baltimore (-6)
  • Cincinnati @ Cleveland – Browns (-7.5)
  • Denver @ Houston – Denver (+8.5)
  • Kansas City @ New England – Kansas City (+3.5)
  • Pittsburgh @ Arizona – Arizona (+2.5)

NFL Week 14: Thursday Night Football Pick & Prediction

Dallas Cowboys @ Chicago Bears, Soldier Field, 8:20 PM, FOX/NFLN (Bears +3.5, O/U: 43.5)

Late to post but if Dallas can’t beat the Bears by at least a touchdown, they don’t deserve to be in the running for the NFC East lead. The Bears are essentially going to miss the playoffs with the 49ers (10-2) and the Vikings (8-4) destined to gobble up the 2 wild card spots.

Take the Cowboys to cover in the under, Cowboys 23-13.

NFL Week 13: Monday Night Football Pick & Prediction

Minnesota Vikings @ Seattle Seahawks, CenturyLink Field, 8:15 PM, ESPN (Seahawks -2.5, O/U: 48.5)

The Vikings are on a tear since Cousins retrained himself on how to throw the ball. They are 6-1 in their last 7 games and Cousins is averaging 289 yards/game and 2.5 TD’s/game. With just 3 picks on the year, he’s only thrown 1 in that 7 game stretch (18/1 during the last 7 games). Dalvin Cook broke 1,000 in their last game and is now averaging 92.5 yards per game rushing with another 455 yards receiving (41 yards/game) for roughly 133 yards from scrimmage per game. Cook is still on the heels of McCaffrey in terms of scrimmage yards (1,472 to McCaffrey’s 1,811). The Vikes defense is still holding in the top 5 in many categories however they are middle of the road in sacks and turnovers created.

The Seahawks are starting to climb the ranks in turnovers but are still having trouble getting to the quarterback, but have improved a bit since bringing Clowney on board a few weeks ago. Russell Wilson is still playing top notch ball behind center and still has an amazing 24/3 TD to pick ratio. Carson was slowed last week after their bye week when they played in Philly. Carson had just 26 yards after averaging 85+ yards per game before the bye. Wilson will more than likely crack the 3,000 yard mark tonight as well as Lockett and Carson have really good chances at cracking the 1,000 yard mark (receiving & rushing) as well.

Take the Seahawks to cover in prime time at home, in the over, Seahawks 28-24.

NFL Week 13: Sunday Games Picks, Predictions & Colin Cowherd’s Blazin’ 5

 

Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers, Heinz Field, 1:00 PM (Steelers +2.5, O/U: 39.5)

The Browns are riding a three game winning streak and are back in the hunt for the division. Baker Mayfield, who’s play has been questionable all year long has thrown 7 TD’s and just 1 pick during the winning streak and OBJ finally snaps the 8 game TD drought last week. Steelers are banged up at the skills positions (Conner & Smith-Schuster are questionable). Hodges Will start after getting the team going last week after a poor start against a bad Bengals team. Even without Garrett, the Browns defense is solid and especially if Conner is listed as out. Take the Browns to cover in the over, Browns 24-20.

Green Bay Packers @ New York Giants, MetLife Stadium, 1:00 PM (Giants +6.5, O/U: 43.5)

The Packers come into this game losing 2 of the last 3 (both losses on the road) and really looked bad in LA and San Fran after ripping off 7 wins in their first 8 games. The 49ers defense looked alive and held Rodgers to 104 yards despite completing 20 passes. The third down parts of those games were not great for the Packers. Given that the Packers have been fine on the road versus bad teams, they should bounce back in New York. The Giants also had troubles on third down last week (1 for 12) against a struggling Bears team, and still, narrowly lost. Barkley has been having a hard time getting out of the gates in most games this year and the struggles have just continued throughout each week. Daniel Jones had an amazing game against the Jets before the teams bye week but came out flat last week on the road, post bye week. The Positives he can build off of, are that he went consecutive starts without throwing a pick for the first time in his career and in those last 2 games, he has 6 TD’s. Take the Packers to cover in the over, Packers 31-17.

New York Jets @ Cincinnati Bengals, Paul Brown Stadium, 1:00 PM (Bengals +3.5, O/U: 43.5)

Take the Jets to cover in the under, Jets 17-10.

Take the Colts to cover in the over, Colts 24-20.

Washington Redskins @ Carolina Panthers, Bank of America Stadium, 1:00 PM (Panthers -10.5, O/U: 39.5)

Take the Redskins to cover but in the loss, in the under, Panthers 21-14.

Los Angeles Rams @ Arizona Cardinals, University of Phoenix Stadium, 4:05 PM (Cardinals +3.5, O/U: 47.5)

Take the Cardinals to cover in the under, Cardinals 21-17.
