The 5-2 Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be laying a lot of chalk when they visit the New York Giants tonight but will be up for the task. Tom Brady has been on fire. Over his last 5 games, the 43 year old has thrown 15 touchdown passes with just 1 interception. The Giants are 1-6 on the season and have had some COVID issues this week, forcing players to stay home, which doesn’t help their cause. Tampa is 4-2-1 ATS in their last 7 games and the road team is 6-0-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these two clubs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS -12.5

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be getting 4 points when they visit the Baltimore Ravens today. Pittsburgh’s defense is relentless and they have Ben Roethlisberger. Enough said.
TODAY’S PICK: PITTSBURGH STEELERS +4

The 3-4 Carolina Panthers will look to end their 2-game skid when they host the 1-6 Atlanta Falcons tonight in Charlotte. The Panthers have already beaten the Falcons this year in Atlanta, 23-16, and they could see the return of their All-Star running back tonight, Christian McCaffrey, who did not play in their first meeting. The Falcons offense can move the ball. They are ranked 6th in the league but will be up against a pretty good Panthers defense that is ranked 13th in the league, allowing an average of 351.1 yards per game. Carolina’s Teddy Bridgewater has been very efficient thus far. As he did in their first meeting, Bridgewater should be able to exploit a Falcons defense that is ranked next to last and are allowing an average of 425.9 yards per game.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CAROLINA PANTHERS M/L

The Chicago Bears will have their 3-0 road record on the line tonight when they head to SoFi Stadium to face the Los Angeles Rams. Chicago is 5-1 on the season but don’t lose sight of the fact that four of those victories were against subpar competition: Carolina, Detroit, Atlanta and the NY Giants. LA is 2-0 at home and 4-2 on the season, with both losses coming against quality opponents, the Buffalo Bills and the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams have the edge in points scored and points allowed, and won the last meeting with the Bears, 17-7.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES RAMS M/L

Two NFC East rivals will meet tonight when the Philadelphia Eagles play host to the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field. Let’s face it, the NFC East is pathetic and so are the Giants and Eagles. With that said, Philadelphia has owned New York, winning the last 7 meetings and have not lost to them at home since 2013. The Eagles’ Carson Wentz had his way with the Giants last year, picking them apart for 614 yards in their two meetings. The Giants are coming off a win over the lowly Washington Football Team but just barely eking it out, 20-19, so don’t get too excited.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES M/L

If anyone can slow down Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs offense, it’s the San Francisco 49ers. Their defense is relentless. They are #1 against the pass and #17 against the rush. If the 49ers do what they do best, run the ball, they will get the job done. The Chiefs defense is 26th against the rush.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN FRANCISCO 49ers +1

The Tennessee Titans will be at Arrowhead Stadium today to face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Conference Championship game. They got to this point by knocking off two of the best in the business on the road, the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens. The Titans held the Patriots and Ravens to a combined 25 points and their running back, Derrick Thomas, has been off the charts. Thomas had 182 yards against New England and 195 against Baltimore. With Kansas City ranked 26th against the rush, the Chiefs had better be careful. The Titans were able to contain Brady and Jackson, so why not Mahomes, too? Tennessee won the first meeting this year, 35-32, are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and are being spotted 7 points.
TODAY’S PICK: TENNESSEE TITANS +7
