  • Game 1 – Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers, Sunday December 12th 

    We all remember what Aaron Rodgers said last time these two teams faced. Rodgers flat out owns the Bears in his career and I don’t see anything changing here. The Packers are running strong despite the vast amount of injuries they have been dealing with of late.  

    The spread is ginormous, but Aaron Rodgers at home on prime time means no one is taking the Bears. Yeah, no thank you.  

    Rodgers and his lethal offense will continue to put up points at will.  

    Green Bay are averaging 23.6 PPG over the year, but some of those games were altered due to Rodgers’ injury, COVID breakouts, etc.  

    PICK: Green Bay TT OVER 27.5 

  • Game 2 – Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns, Sunday December 12th 

    The spread here scares me. Even though the Ravens are banged up, the Browns have yet to show dominance in any form over the course of the season.  

    The Ravens are starting two cornerbacks that have never played an NFL snap in their career.  

    Jarvis Landry is the Browns number one receiver so look for him to have a game here against the depleted Ravens secondary. He is also coming off a 6 catch performance against the Ravens a few weeks ago (for 111 yards).  

    PICK: Jarvis Landry OVER 4.5 receptions  

  • Game 3 – Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans, Sunday December 12th 

    Betting against the Jaguars has treated me well throughout the NFL season, so I am heading back to the well once again. 

     The Jaguars are facing so many internal issues right now, with rumors of Urban Meyer supposedly coaching situational football the right way, along with losing their last four games in a row.  

    The Titans are averaging 25.3 PPG, while the Jaguars are averaging 15.3 PPG. We know the Titans are banged up, missing their key piece of the offense in Derrick Henry, but they will still be too much for the Jaguars as they are only scoring 10.3 points per game in their L3 contests.  

    The Titans will roll here comfortably.

    PICK: Titans to COVER the spread (-8.5)
