The 3-1 Cleveland Browns head west today for a matchup with the 3-1 LA Chargers and the difference maker in this game will be the running game. Cleveland possesses the best run game in the league, behind Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, and this will pose a problem for LA. The Chargers are allowing an average of 139.5 yards per game on the ground, which is 29th in the NFL. The Browns have been a covering machine. They are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 overall, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games, and will be catching a Chargers team that is working on a short week. Consider the Browns and the points.
TODAY’S PICK: CLEVELAND BROWNS +2.5

Monday NFL Pick
The Las Vegas Raiders will be a road dog tonight when they put their 3-0 record on the line against the 2-1 Los Angeles Chargers. The Raiders are #1 in the league in yards per game, averaging 471, and will have Derek Carr at the helm. Carr has passed for 300+ yards in each of their three wins and in addition to an already potent offense, they could see the return of their stud running back, Josh Jacobs, who has missed the last two games with an ankle injury. The Chargers managed to steal a win last week in KC, but it came with a price. Justin Herbert injured his passing hand which could come into play against a tough Raider D.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LAS VEGAS RAIDERS +3
Sunday NFL Pick
The Las Vegas Raiders are off to a 2-0 start and will be at home today to face the 1-1 Miami Dolphins. The Raiders quarterback, David Carr, has been lighting it up. He has thrown for 817 yards in the first two games with 4 TDs and just 1 interception. The Dolphins, who were embarrassed at home last week by the Buffalo Bills (35-0), will have Jacoby Brissett at the helm. Brissett is replacing Tua Tagovailoa, who was injured last week at Buffalo. Brissett is 12-20 in 32 career starts and was not impressive last week, going 24-40 with 169 yds, no TDs and 1 pick. Las Vegas is expected tp be without running back Josh Jacobs once again but the way Carr in throwing the ball, it shouldn’t matter. The line is currently -3.5 Las Vegas which seems a little fishy; it should be higher. Consider the money line and the Raiders.
TODAY’S PICK: LAS VEGAS RAIDERS M/L
Sunday NFL Pick
The Buffalo Bills blew a 10 point lead at home to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, resulting in a sloppy played 23-16 loss. Josh Allen was out of sync, as were the Bills as a whole, but chalk that up to rust. Sean McDermott will have the defending AFC East Champions ready when they visit their hated rival, the Miami Dolphins. Buffalo has won 5 straight against the Dolphins, including a 56-26 thrashing in their last meeting. Miami is 1-0 but they were lucky to get the win last week against a mediocre at best New England Patriot team. Buffalo is currently laying 3.5 with a money line of -180; don’t sweat the points.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS M/L
Sunday NFL Pick
Tampa Bay is the side to consider tonight in the 55th showing of the Super Bowl. The Bucs are currently getting 3 points and have the best ever, Tom Brady, at the helm. Enough said.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS +3
Sunday NFL Pick
The Kansas City Chiefs are currently laying 3 points tonight against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game. The Chiefs finished with the best record in football but were a disaster for bettors, going 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games. The Chiefs have had some key players banged up, including Patrick Mahomes who has been cleared to play, but after last week’s blow to the head and his nagging toe issue will he be 100%? Buffalo fell to KC back on October 19th but then won 11 of their last 12 games and were 9-1 ATS in their last 10. The Bills’ Josh Allen was nothing but spectacular this year, throwing for 300+ yards 8 times, and has the best receiver in the business, Stefon Diggs, who had 127 catches for 1,535 yards. This tandem could pose a problem for the Chiefs who were 14th against the pass and, believe it or not, dead last in the league in red zone defense.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS +3
Sunday NFL Pick
I will take Tom Brady over Drew Brees any day of the week. Throw in Tampa’s stout defense and they are getting 3. Forget about it.
TODAY’S PICK: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS +3
