The Baltimore Ravens are on a 3-game skid but things are looking up for the Ravens with the Dallas Cowboys coming to town. Dallas has lost 5 of their last 6 and were blown out at home in their last outing by the Washington Football Team, 41-16. To make matters worse for the Cowboys, they will be without tackles Zack Martin and Cam Erving and that doesn’t bode well for the Boys when the Ravens have 27 sacks on the season. Baltimore is expected to have 7 players back tonight from Covid, including quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson has thrown for 15 TDs and rushed for 575 yards in 10 games. The Ravens are averaging 157.6 yards per game rushing and will be able to chew up yardage against a Dallas defense that is dead last against the run.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BALTIMORE RAVENS M/L
Monday NFL Pick
The early game in today’s doubleheader will be the Pittsburgh Steelers hosting the Washington Football Team. The Steelers, who are still unbeaten at 11-0, were not at peak performance in their last outing against Baltimore but as usual they found a way to win. Washington is 4-7 and 1-4 on the road. They are riding a 2-game winning streak but those wins were against the hapless Dallas Cowboys and the pathetic Cincinnati Bengals. Mike Tomlin made it evident that he was not happy with the Steelers’ sloppy play against Baltimore so he will have them focused and ready to go today.
TODAY’S PICK: PITTSBURGH STEELERS M/L
Sunday NFL Pick
The 3-8 Los Angeles Chargers are better than their record indicates and that will be evident today when they host the New England Patriots. The Chargers’ 8 losses have come by a combined total of just 42 points and with a bounce or two their way, they could easily be sitting at 8-3. LA’s offense is ranked #3 in the league, averaging 397.8 yards per game, and their rookie quarterback, Justin Herbert, is the real deal. He has thrown for 3,015 yards with 23 touchdowns and just 7 interceptions. Not bad for a rook. New England has just one road win on the season and Cam Newton does not seem to be the answer. Newton has thrown for only 1,984 yards, has just 4 touchdown passes and 9 interceptions. The only way the Bolts lose this game will be by the hands of their inept coaching staff that has no clue how to manage a clock and over and over make bad decisions.
TODAY’S PICK: LOS ANGELES CHARGERS M/L
Saturday NCAA Football Pick
The Georgia Southern Eagles perfect 5-0 home record will be in jeopardy tonight when they host the red hot Florida Atlantic Owls. The Owls are riding a 4-game winning streak and have held their opponents to a total of just 20 points over the 4 games. Now that is impressive. The Eagles offense is fueled by a running game that is averaging 267.6 yards per game but the Owls will have an answer for that, allowing a stingy 105.3 yards per game against the run. Florida Atlantic is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 as an underdog and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 against a team with a winning record.
TONIGHT’S PICK: FLORIDA ATLANTIC OWLS +2.5
Friday NCAA Football Pick
The 8-1 Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns have secured a spot in the Conference Championship game so expect a conservative game plan from them tonight when they visit the 7-2 Appalachian State Mountaineers. These teams match up well, with both teams having similar numbers, but the Mountaineers have dominated the Ragin’ Cajuns in recent years and are 5-0 at home.
TONIGHT’S PICK: APPALACHIAN STATE MOUNTAINEERS M/L
Thursday NCAA Football Pick
The last time the 4-3 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and the 3-4 North Texas Mean Green met it was ugly, with the Bulldogs embarrassing the Mean Green in Louisiana, 52-17. Tonight the two rivals will face each other but the venue will be in North Texas and payback will be an incentive for the Mean Green. North Texas has a prolific offense, averaging 536.9 yards per game, and will be able to penetrate a Bulldogs’ defense that is allowing an average of 420.7 yards per game. The line opened up with Louisiana Tech laying 3.5 and has flipped to North Texas -1.5? Hmm, interesting.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NORTH TEXAS MEAN GREEN M/L
Wednesday NFL Pick
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens are expected to finally face each other today at Heinz Field. Baltimore has been hit hard by the coronavirus with 8 starters on the list, including quarterback Lamar Jackson, but do you think the Steelers will show them any mercy? Absolutely not. The Steelers are eyeing a perfect season and will be seeking their 11th straight win. Pittsburgh has already beaten a healthy Baltimore team this year in Baltimore and will not think twice about running up the score. The Steelers have been a covering machine, going 7-1 ATS in their last 8 overall and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 in Pittsburgh. Lay the points and take the Curtain.
TODAY’S PICK: PITTSBURGH STEELERS -10
