Luck has been shining down on the Arizona Cardinals but nothing lasts forever and we will see what they are really made of when they visit the Seattle Seahawks tonight. The Cardinals won two of their last three games, which were all played in Glendale, but they could have easily lost all three. It took overtime for them to beat Seattle on Oct 25th, then they lost to Miami, and it took a Hail Mary for them to get past Buffalo. The Seahawks have lost two straight but they were road defeats against two of the League’s elite, the Buffalo Bills and the Los Angeles Rams. Russell Wilson has been in a bit of a funk but you can’t keep a good man down for long. Seattle will have payback on their minds and are a perfect 4-0 at home this season.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS M/L

Two black and blue division foes will square off tonight when the 5-4 Chicago Bears host the 3-5 Minnesota Vikings. Chicago has lost 3 straight and need to get back on track in a hurry. A visit from Minnesota just might be the answer. To say the Bears have been dominating the Vikes of late would be an understatement. They have won 4 straight against Minnesota and are 14-3 in their last 17 meetings against them at Soldier Field. Chicago will have a Bye next week but after that they will travel to Green Bay to face the Packers so if they want to stay in contention for a postseason berth they have to win this game and they know it. Chicago is a home dog tonight, getting 3.5 points, and are worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CHICAGO BEARS +3.5

After last week’s embarrassing 38-3 defeat at home to the New Orleans Saints, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be eager to get back on track today when they visit the Carolina Panthers. Brady threw 3 interceptions last week, something he has not done in 9 years, but don’t expect a repeat of that today. The only way you get to Brady is to pressure him and the Panthers do not have that ability. They are ranked last in the League with just 9 sacks and when Brady has time he will thread the needle. Carolina has been on a downward slide, losing 4 straight, and are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. Bucs get back on track and cover the 6.
TODAY’S PICK: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS -6

With a win tonight against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium, the Indianapolis Colts will move into a tie with the Titans for the top spot in the AFC South. The Colts defense is very stingy, allowing an average of just 290 yards per game and should be able to contain Derrick Henry and Ryan Tannehill. Philip Rivers will get wide receiver T. Y. Hilton back in the lineup tonight, which is not good for a questionable Titans secondary. Indy is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 in Tennessee and 13-4 ATS in the last 17 meetings. The line is currently even but will probably move. Regardless where it lands, consider the Colts.
TONIGHT’S PICK: INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

If the New York Jets are going to win a game this year it might be tonight when they host the New England Patriots. Cam Newton is not getting it done for New England. Carolina did the smart thing when they released him. He is overpaid, overrated and overhyped. The Jets gave the Buffalo Bills a run for their money two weeks ago and the Bills are a really good football team. Take the points and side with New York.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK JETS +10

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are 6-2 and atop of the AFC East but still get no respect, being a home dog at +3 against the Seattle Seahawks today. Allen has thrown for 2,172 yards with 16 TDs and just 5 interceptions. The Bills will be able to move the ball against a Seahawks defense that is surrendering an average of 460.9 yards per game. The Buffalo defense is starting to gel after a rocky start and will be able to contain Russell Wilson.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS +3

The San Francisco 49ers will have their work cut out for them tonight when they host the Green Bay Packers. San Fran will be without two of their top offensive players, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and tight end George Kittle, and that hurts. Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers is having a season like no other. He has thrown for 1,948 yards, with 20 touchdowns, just 2 interceptions, and will have payback on his mind after losing both meetings with the 49ers last year.
TONIGHT’S PICK: GREEN BAY PACKERS -7
