The Denver Broncos are a 7-point dog today when they travel to Lincoln Financial Field to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are 7-1 on the season and have been riding a 6-game winning streak but all good things come to an end. The Broncos are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings against the Eagles. Brock Osweiler is at the helm for Denver and he has shown moments of brilliance. The Broncos defense is stellar and they should shut down the Eagles offense today.
TODAY’S PICK: DENVER BRONCOS +7

The Denver Broncos travel to southern California today to take on the LA Chargers, a team they beat in their season opener, 24-21. The Broncos defense is one of the best in the business and their future Hall-of-Famer Von Miller has 5 sacks on the year and 13 in his career against the Chargers. The Broncos CJ Anderson should have a field day today because he is going up against the worst run defense in the league. The Broncos are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 against the Chargers. The line in this one opened at Chargers -1½ but has now flip-flopped to Denver -1.
TODAY’S PICK: DENVER BRONCOS

The Washington Redskins will be getting 7 points tonight when they travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Kirk Cousins was impressive last week when he threw for 365 yards with 3 touchdowns. The Redskins are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 road games and the Chiefs are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games. The road dog tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON REDSKINS +7

The Oakland Raiders should be without their star receiver, Michael Crabtree, when they take on the Denver Broncos today at Mile High. The Raiders David Carr did not look impressive last week against Washington when he completed just 19-31 passes for 118 yards and had 2 interceptions. To make matters worse, Oakland’s Amari Cooper is banged up with a knee issue but should suit up today. This will force the Raiders to hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch, who is definitely showing his age. Lynch rushed for just 18 yards last week on 6 carries against the Redskins. The Broncos defense is stellar, ranking #1 in the NFL against the rush, and holding teams to just 2.6 yards per carry. The Raiders are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings with Denver and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games at Mile High Stadium.
TODAY’S PICK: DENVER BRONCOS -3

The Pittsburgh Steelers are riding a 9-game winning streak and I see that continuing today when they face the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game in Foxboro. The Steelers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games and 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Big Ben has the league’s best running back at his disposal, Le’Veon Bell, who carved up the Kansas City Chiefs last week for 170 yards. In addition to that, he has one of the league’s top receivers, Antonio Brown, who has 481 receptions over his last 4 seasons. During this 9-game winning streak, the Steelers defense has been stellar, yielding an average of just 16.6 points per game and recording 31 sacks. Steelers get this one.

Today’s pick:

Pittsburgh Steelers +6

The Pittsburgh Steelers will try to get one step closer to their 9th Super Bowl appearance but they will have to get past the Kansas City Chiefs at an always hostile Arrowhead Stadium. The Steelers are riding an 8-game winning streak and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games, 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 divisional playoff games. The Chiefs have struggled in post-season play, going 1-7 ATS in their last 8 playoff games, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home playoff games. When these two teams met on October 2nd, Roethlisberger threw for 5 touchdown passes and Le’Veon Bell rushed for 144 yards on 18 carries in a 43-14 rout at Heinz Field. Roethlisberger has been down this road before, with 18 post-season starts under his belt, as opposed to Alex Smith with just 5. Big Ben and the Steelers are always a good bet in post-season play.

Tonight’s pick:

Pittsburgh Steelers +1.5

The Oakland Raiders can get their first playoff berth in 14 years with a win today however they have to travel to San Diego to face their hated rivals, the Chargers. San Diego would love nothing more than to spoil Oakland’s day. The Bolts are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 against the AFC and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 against the AFC West. I’ll take the home dog here, San Diego Chargers, +3.

Today’s pick:

San Diego Chargers +3
