Ravens +10..started at 7.5...not quite getting the line move....Game still has meaning to Cincy in trying to get first round bye...but they are playing a team in the Ravens, who have not given up....they play hard week in and week out...tribute to their coach....assuming Ryan Mallet is the QB, which I think he'll be, they should put points on the board...Mallet looked like all pro last week vs Pittsburgh...and he had a bunch of support from a bunch of unknowns on offense..the Ravens beat Pittsburgh legitimately last week...Cincy with McCarron have to play "close to the vest"...he's done OK but I don't expect an offensive explosion at all today....if the Bengals were playing a team who's playing out the string (like the Dolphins), I'd say they'd win easily...but not the Ravens....an outright Raven win is possible....I'll say this one ends 23-20 Bengals...in a hard fought game.

Jets - 3....one team who needs it vs one that doesn't...unlike the Ravens, Bills are the kind of team to just play out the string...the Eagle loss ended their season and there's no sign whatsoever they'll all the sudden bounce back...Jets a hard hitting team with a real need to win...if it were the Pats, maybe the Bills would get psyched up to win...but the Jets? There's no rivalry there other the being a division foe....Jets 27, Bills 13.

Rams -3 Rams one of a few underachieving teams this year...they are still playing hard and well under Case Keenon..think they end 8-8 and Fischer keeps his job...49er coach probably to be fired....don't see the 49ers playing to win anything in this one or rally around their coach...Rams 31, 49ers 10.

Lions -1...Lions are a more talented team then their record...the hail mary pass the Packers put on them ended any hopes of the playoffs...but it doesn't look like they've quit...like the Bills might have with one bad loss,....Lions and Stafford are capable of putting up huge numbers...he can also stink....I think he puts up a good game for their coach who might be in trouble and they put away a depleted and not very dangerous Bear team...Lions 35, Bears 17.

Minn + 3 and ML-payback time....Minny playing very well since they lost to the Pack a few weeks ago...passing, running, Defense all playing well...both teams should be fired up to be division champ....so no advantage that way....I just think Minny the better team playing better ball...Pack are a shell of their team from last year...even Rogers has slipped...Minny 31, Pack 10.

Giants -5 1/2- With Beckham back, think the Giants puts up 30+ points against this lousy Philly D....Philly stinks on both sides of the ball and just want their disasterous season to end....thin this is the blowout of the day....Giants 38, Philly 7.

Add Bucs + 10 1/2 and ML and over 44

Add Bucs + 10 1/2 and ML and over 44

There might be scoreboard watching going on today in all these games including this one. Regardless, Carolina's luster came off a bit last game...Cam looked like the old Cam, receivers weren't getting open, running game was down (which I think continues today)...their D let up a few big deep ones...which is one thing Tampa can do..which is to go deep with their two excellent wide outs....Tampa I don't think comes out flat....I think they come out firing and scoring...no need to be conservative....Bucs 34 Carolina 28

RedSkins ML+135

RedSkins ML+135

Skins are a very hot club...their backups are decent including their QB McCoy. McCoy a better QB than Dallas starter who really looks like a college QB if you ask me....soft tosses with a lot of air under them, means interceptions.......Skins backups played a lot this year and they picked up a better RB in Pierre Thomas then their starters...Redskins backup wide receivers about as good as Cowboys starters....I expect the Redskins 1st team less their two tackles, to start and play maybe a quarter....I think they get 10 points in the 1st quarter...and never look back....Lee on Dallas has pulled hamstring and may not go the whole game and he'll have trouble keeping up with RBs coming out of the backfield....the Cowboys are a rival team and the one game the Redskins really would like to have back....Skins put up 24 points today, McCoy throws for 250 or so...Skins 24, Cowboys 17.

There may not be a "rivalry" game per se between the Jets and the Bills, but I find it hard to believe that Rex Ryan would love to see to it that the Jets do not make the playoffs. The Bills will be ready to play today, IMO.

Thanks for the write-ups. Very informational. GL today!
