Bill Belichick is hoping to set another record this season. Belichick has been to the playoffs 19 times, and he is tied with Don Shula as the NFL head coach with the most playoff appearances. He can be the first coach to lead his team to 20 separate postseasons if the New England Patriots can get back to the playoffs in 2022. They are currently one game out of the playoff picture at the moment, and they need a win over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football to stay in the chase. The New England Patriots are hoping to stay in the playoff hunt, but they are currently one game behind the New York Jets for the final playoff spot in the AFC. They have lost two straight primetime games, and they will look to break that streak when they face the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football. These teams will meet at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Monday, December 12, 2022, at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN. ... 

Mike McDaniel is one of the favorites to be named NFL Coach of the Year. The Miami Dolphins are likely to have their best season since 2008, and they have an outside shot of winning 12 games or more for the first time since 1990. This is the best offense we’ve seen in south Florida since Dan Marino was under center, and that’s why the Dolphins are road favorites against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football. The Los Angeles Chargers are one game outside the playoff picture following their loss to Las Vegas last week. They are looking to get back into the hunt, but they have yet to beat a team with a winning record this season. That bodes well for the Miami Dolphins as they head to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California for Sunday Night Football on December 11, 2022, at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. ... 

Are you ready for another week of ugly dog picks in the NFL? We are coming off a 2-2 record last week that takes the season record 30-25-2 ATS. Some of the best bets in the NFL each week are oftentimes wagers on teams that are considered the worst in the league. If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. We refer to these teams as ugly dogs and you really have to hold your nose sometimes when you bet on them, but history has shown that going against the public works. There are six teams on bye this week so we have just three games to look at. Let’s look at the NFL Week 14 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

After a disastrous 2-7 start to the season, the Las Vegas Raiders were written off by pretty much everyone. However, the Raiders are now just two games behind the New York Jets for the final playoff spot in the AFC after beating three straight opponents. They are favored to make it four in a row on Thursday Night Football when they head back to their former home to face the Los Angeles Rams. The defending Super Bowl champions are on pace to be the worst team in the NFC this season. The Los Angeles Rams are 3-9 and have the worst point differential in the conference. That’s why they are close to a touchdown underdog at home for a second straight week, this time against the surging Las Vegas Raiders. These teams will meet on Thursday, December 8, 2022, at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. ... 

Three months of games are in the books of the 2022-23 NFL betting season. That means it’s time to dig into how the futures odds market reacted to what went down in Week 12. If you’ve been following along with my breakdowns of the Super Bowl LVII odds heading into Week 13, you’re already invested in the Buffalo Bills +650, Baltimore Ravens +2200, New York Giants +18500, Philadel... 

For the last five seasons, either the New Orleans Saints or Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won the NFC South. Those two teams were the big favorites to win the division by the NFL futures odds coming into this season, but they have not been able to separate themselves from Atlanta or Carolina. Tampa Bay is currently 2-1 against division foes, and a win over New Orleans on Monday Night Football would go a long way to helping the Buccaneers winning the NFC South for the second straight season.The NFC S... 

This is a must-win game for the Indianapolis Colts if they want to keep their rapidly diminishing playoff hopes alive. Indianapolis fell to 4-7-1 after last week’s loss to Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football, leaving the Colts 3.5 games out of the final Wild Card spot in the conference. They face another tough test in the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football this week, and a defeat would make it impossible for the Colts to finish the season with a winning record.The biggest favorite of Week 1... 

You have to take the good with the bad when it comes to betting and right now I’m taking the bad on my NFL total picks. The last few weeks remind me a lot of my golf game. I hit a number of great shots down the middle of the fairway and just when I start to think I have the game figured out the ball flies into the water or gets lost in the forest. Well, I thought I had the total picks figured out when I went 11-4 over an earlier five-week period. Then suddenly I started slicing my picks with bac... 

I guess it was bound to happen. After hitting six three-team winners in a seven week stretch I came up short on my NFL teaser picks the last two weeks. Unlike my parlay picks, though, I again came close by hitting two winners on my three-team ticket. But as we all know close doesn’t count when betting NFL teasers. If you miss one you might as well miss them all. With the bye weeks concluded we returned to a full 16-game slate last week giving us a few more options when picking games. Hopefully t... 

There was no drama last week when it came to my NFL parlay picks. Unlike Week 11 when I was one win short of hitting a four-team winner, things didn’t go according to plan. If you took my advice, I’m sorry for your loss. The good thing, if there is a good thing about losing a bet, is that there were no ‘what ifs.’ Three of my picks were losers, which is the worst week I’ve had. Sometimes things just don’t go your way and last week was that time. Nothing we can do about it now except move ahead t... 

Are you ready for another week of ugly dog picks in the NFL? It was a slight losing week last week, as we went 2-3 ATS and that is the way we’ll track it, but if you got the Rams at +16.5 or more then you went 3-2 ATS. That makes the season record 28-23-2 ATS. Some of the best bets in the NFL each week are oftentimes wagers on teams that are considered the worst in the league. If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. We refer to these teams as ugly dogs and you really have to hold your nose sometimes when you bet on them, but history has shown that going against the public works. We have four games to look at for this week. Let’s look at the NFL Week 13 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

This is a tough spot for the New England Patriots. Bill Belichick is in an unfamiliar place as the Patriots are in last place in the AFC East despite being 6-5. A loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football this week would really hurt their playoff chances, especially consider they play again in Buffalo in their regular season finale. New England went 35-5 against Buffalo during the 2000s and 2010s, but Buffalo has won four out of the last five games in this rivalry including a stampede in last year’s playoffs. The AFC East is a lot more competitive than anyone thought it would be at the start of the season. The Buffalo Bills were the preseason favorites and are tied for the division lead, but the New England Patriots have dominated this division for the better part of two decades. These rivals will meet on Thursday, December 1, 2022, at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video. ... 

Long-time center Jeff Saturday became the first NFL head coach with no previous coaching experience at the NFL or collegiate level in over 60 years when he was tapped to replace Frank Reich by Indianapolis Colts’ owner Jim Irsay a few weeks ago. Now, it’s on Saturday to steer this franchise towards the postseason, and they face a must-win game on Monday Night Football when they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. A loss would drop the Colts to 4-7-1, making it very difficult for Indianapolis to get... 

It was fun while it lasted. So much fun in fact I’m looking forward to starting another winning streak on my Week 12 NFL total picks. The house has a way of getting even and it kind of did last week. I say kind of because I did hit on one of my three picks so it wasn’t a complete failure. Eight of the 14 games on the Week 11 slate went above the closing total, the second time in four weeks more games cashed the OVER and nearly 53 percent of the games played above the total over the past six week... 

I came close to hitting another three-team winner on my NFL Week 11 teaser picks, but unfortunately close doesn’t count. If you lose one you may all well lose them all. It’s the coming close part that inspires bettors to return always thinking ‘I’ll get it next time.’ Well, the next time is here with Week 12 of the NFL season getting started with a tripleheader on Thanksgiving. Buying points to tease a spread or total in your favor is supposed to make betting easier. However, with the unpredicta... 

Did I mention at any point during the NFL season that hitting a multi-team parlay is probably the hardest thing to do when wagering on football? I’m sure I did because it’s true and if you’ve ever played a parlay you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s hard enough to get a single game winning ticket but having to win multiple games only increases the odds of losing. The silver lining behind it all is the much bigger payout, which in a way is the carrot on the end of the stick. Instead of suggesting teams to use in a parlay, I played a four-teamer last week and judging by the tone of the opener you probably have a good idea how that went. ... 

If the Green Bay Packers are going to make the playoffs this season, they need to turn it on now. Green Bay is currently 4-7 and two games behind Washington and Seattle for the last playoff spot, and the Packers are 4.5 games behind the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North race. It’s now or never for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, but they must go on the road to face the 9-1 Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football this week. The Philadelphia Eagles are gunning for homefield advantage throughout the playoffs and essentially have a two-game lead on the field in the NFC. That has helped make the Eagles around a touchdown favorite per the NFL betting odds when these teams meet on Sunday, November 27, 2022, at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ... 

Another week of the 2022-23 NFL betting season is in the books which means it’s time to dig into how the futures odds market reacted to what went down in Week 11. If you’ve been following along with my breakdowns of the Super Bowl LVII odds heading into Week 12, you’re already invested in the Buffalo Bills +650, Baltimore Ravens +2200, New York Giants +18500, Philadelphia Eagles +686, Minnesota Vikings +2258, Pittsburgh Steelers +25000, San Francisco 49ers +1200, Seattle Seahawks +5300, and Washington Commanders +17500. We continue to get the best of the number with just about every one of those teams. Week 12 calls for another breakdown of some of the biggest risers and fallers, so let’s get into to it! ... 

Are you ready for another week of ugly dog picks in the NFL? It was a slight losing week last week, as we went 1-2-1 ATS. That makes the season record 26-20-2 ATS. Some of the best bets in the NFL each week are oftentimes wagers on teams that are considered the worst in the league. If you want to win money betting NFL games then you need to be willing to take teams no one else wants to bet. We refer to these teams as ugly dogs and you really have to hold your nose sometimes when you bet on them, but history has shown that going against the public works. We have five games to look at for this week. Let’s look at the NFL Week 12 Ugly Dog picks. ... 

The Minnesota Vikings are in the middle of a three-game homestand, but they are licking their wounds after last week’s beatdown at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. Minnesota continues to struggle with teams from the NFC East, yet the Vikes are currently 2-0 against the AFC East with road wins over top teams Buffalo and Miami. They will look to keep it going with a win over the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football. For the 17th straight year, there will be a Turkey Day tripleheader, and it will be capped off this season by the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings. These teams will meet at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Thursday, November 24, 2022, at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. ... 

It turned out to be a good week on all my picks getting a sweep in my total plays from Week 10. After a sluggish start to the NFL season things have picked up over the last seven weeks with nearly 72 percent of my total plays resulting in a winner in that span with two perfect weeks. I don’t mean to brag or anything, but it is a step up after going 3-6 on my total plays in the first three weeks. Last week was an even split with the over and under each hitting seven times on the 14-game slate. Th... 

Buying points to move the line or total in your favor is designed to make betting easier. I don’t think it’s supposed to be this easy, though. I became a fan of teasers after hitting a few three-team winners. I’m a huge fan now after sweeping games last week to continue the heater that’s seen me hit three-team teasers in six of the last seven weeks. Buying points does come at a cost thus reducing the payout on a winning ticket. And it takes more wins to cover the losses when you don’t succeed. I... 

Playing a parlay can be fun; winning a parlay is tough. I had a good last week on my picks hitting on three of four games, including both underdogs, but as we all know it takes every pick winning to cash the ticket. So I guess it’s a good thing my NFL parlay picks article is designed for informational purposes only. In the end it’s up to you the bettor to decide if the games I cover are worth the investment. Last week they were with my dogs barking. So just for the heck of it I’m going to play a four-team parlay with my picks and see how I do. ... 

The San Francisco 49ers are looking to run down the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West. They are currently a half-game behind the Seahawks, but they are 3-0 in the division and will have a chance to draw level with them on Monday Night Football. San Francisco is a prohibitive favorite over the Arizona Cardinals, and the Niners can deal the Cardinals’ postseason hopes a serious blow with a win in Mexico City.For the first time since 2019, the NFL will return to Mexico for one of its International S... 

The road to the Super Bowl in the AFC might go through the Kansas City Chiefs for the fifth straight season. Kansas City has hosted the last four AFC Championship Games, winning two and losing two, and the Chiefs are currently the top team in the conference with a 7-2 record. They have won three straight games, but they face a tough test on Sunday Night Football as the Los Angeles Chargers have been a game opponent over the last couple seasons. A win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football would almost certainly guarantee the Kansas City Chiefs another AFC West title. Kansas City is looking to win its seventh straight division championship, and the Chiefs would move three games ahead of the Chargers with the victory. These teams will meet on Sunday, November 20, 2022, at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. ...
