The Dallas Cowboys will have two factors going for them today, momentum and revenge, when the host their NFC rival, the Washington Football Team. The Cowboys are coming off an impressive win over the Vikings in Minnesota and will vie to redeem themselves after a 25-3 loss to Washington on October 25th. Washington is winless on the road, at 0-4, Dallas has won 8 of the last 9 meetings with Washington on Thanksgiving Day, and they are 4-0 in their last 4 against the Football Team in the Big D.

Monday NFL Pick
Two of the NFC’s best, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Rams, will square off tonight at Raymond James Stadium. As expected, the Rams are a road dog, currently getting 4 points, but that is a good thing if you are leaning Rams. Los Angeles is the better team overall. They are ranked #1 on defense and #5 on offense while the Bucs are ranked #3 on defense and #15 on offense. The Rams are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings with the Bucs and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 in Tampa. The Rams formidable defense will be able to pressure Brady and you know what happens when he gets pressured, he buckles.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES RAMS +4
Sunday NFL Pick
After losing four in a row, it appeared the New England Patriots were dead in the water, but they have found life, winning two straight and will seek a third when they travel to Houston to take on the Texans. Cam Newton is starting to find his rhythm. Over the last two victories, he is 40 for 52 for 392 yards, has a combined 4 touchdowns, and a passer rating of 106.7. The Texans have been riddled with injuries and are expected to, once again, be without starting running back David Johnson. Houston has mustered just two wins this year, with both coming against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars. New England has won 8 of the last 10 meetings with Houston and should cruise to a victory today.

Saturday NCAA Football Pick
The Penn State Nittany Lions are 0-4 but will be at home today in Happy Valley to face the 2-2 Iowa Hawkeyes. The Nittany Lions have not been 0-4 since 2001 and I don’t see them going 0-5 today. Iowa can run the ball, with Tyler Goodson in the backfield, but Penn State will be able to counter that with a run defense that is allowing an average of only 129.5 rushing yards per game. The Nittany Lions offense is averaging 437 yards per game with Iowa averaging 376. Edge Penn State. Penn State has had issues with turnovers but if they can hang onto the ball, they will get their first win of the season and their 7th straight victory over Iowa.
TODAY’S PICK: PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS M/L
Friday NCAA Football Pick
The 1-3 Minnesota Golden Gophers will be seeking their first home victory tonight when they play host to the 2-1 Purdue Boilmakers. Minnesota has the edge in offense, averaging 407.5 yards per game, as opposed to Purdue’s 369, and the Gophers have owned the Boilmakers of late, winning the last two meetings and 6 of the last 7. Minnesota’s lone victory this year was a blowout of Illinois, 41-14, on November 7th – a team that Purdue had trouble with this year and were lucky to come away with a 31-24 victory.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS +2
Thursday NFL Pick
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.
