Arizona Cardinals vs. Miami Dolphins
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Redskins -1. O/U: 46.5
PREDICTION: Redskins 31, Eagles 17

Oddsmakers currently have the Redskins listed as 3-point favorites versus the Eagles, while the game’s total is sitting at 47½.

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (6-5-1): Washington boasts the NFL’s second-ranked offense (418.6 yards per game) and could get a boost as Jordan Reed told reporters he feels confident he’ll play on Sunday after sitting out last week’s tilt with a Grade 3 separation of the AC joint in his left shoulder. Coach Jay Gruden wasn’t exactly on board with his stud tight end’s health report, saying he has “absolutely no idea” if Reed will play and that it could come down to Saturday afternoon or game time before a decision is made. Reed ripped the Eagles for nine catches, 129 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 16 win last season, but sat out the first encounter this season due to injury.

Washington was a 31-23 loser in its last match on the road against the Cardinals. They failed to cover the +2.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 54 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.

Washington Stats:
Team record: 6-5-1 SU,8-4 ATS
Washington is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games
Washington is 2-3-1 SU in its last 6 games
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Washington’s last 5 games

ABOUT THE EAGLES (5-7): Philadelphia’s offense has lacked sizzle of late but could receive a jolt with the expected returns of wideout Jordan Matthews (team-leading 57 receptions) and running back Ryan Mathews (seven rushing TDs). The former was able to practice on Thursday after missing his first game – college or pro – last week against the Bengals while the latter has been sidelined several weeks with an MCL sprain. A lack of potent running game has forced Wentz to average 45 pass attempts over his last six games – including 60 last week.

Philadelphia:
Team record: 5-7 SU,5-7 ATS
Current Streak: lost 3 straight games.
Philadelphia is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games
Philadelphia is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games
Philadelphia is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games at home

EXTRA POINTS
1. Washington Pro Bowl LT Trent Williams will be back on the field Sunday after serving a league-imposed four-game suspension.
2. Philadelphia has surrendered an average of 28 points during its three-game losing skid.
3. Redskins rookie RB Robert Kelley has rushed for a total of 100 yards in his last two games after totaling 291 with four touchdowns in his previous three.

Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Colts -6. O/U: 46.5
PREDICTION: Colts 24, Texans 17

Oddsmakers currently have the Colts listed as 6-point favorites versus the Texans, while the game’s total is sitting at 46.5.

ABOUT THE TEXANS (6-6): Osweiler is 31st in the NFL among 32 qualified quarterbacks with a 74.2 rating and is last in yards per attempt at 5.77, but coach Bill O’Brien put the team’s struggles on himself after a 21-13 loss at Green Bay last week. “It comes down to eight to 10 plays a game, and a lot of that has to do with coaching,” O’Brien told reporters. “We have to do a better job coaching and players have to do a better job executing, but we’re all in it together and we all have to do a better job.” Houston’s defense has carried the team most of the season but is starting to spring leaks with defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (wrist/elbow) and cornerback Johnathan Joseph (ribs) sitting out practice this week.

Houston Stats:
Team record: 6-6 SU,5-6-1 ATS
Current Streak: lost 3 straight games.
Houston is 2-5-1 ATS in its last 8 games
Houston is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Houston’s last 6 games

ABOUT THE COLTS (6-6): Luck and the offense could be asked to do even more down the stretch with the defense losing middle linebacker D’Qwell Jackson to a four-game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs. Jackson, who is the signal-caller on defense and has recorded 78 tackles and a sack this season, is not eligible to return to the team until the day after the end of the regular season. “We’re all disappointed,” coach Chuck Pagano told reporters. “It is what it is. Moving forward, if we’re fortunate enough to play good enough and win enough games, we’ll get him back for the playoffs.”

Last time out for Indianapolis, they were a 41-10 winner as they battled the Jets on the road. The Colts covered in the match as a +1.5-point underdog, while 51 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Indianapolis Stats:
Team record: 6-6 SU,6-5-1 ATS
The total has gone OVER in 8 of Indianapolis’s last 12 games
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Indianapolis’s last 5 games at home
Indianapolis is 19-6 SU in its last 25 games when playing Houston

EXTRA POINTS
1. Colts rookie LB Antonio Morrison is expected to start in place of Jackson.
2. Houston WR Braxton Miller (shoulder) sat out practice on Wednesday and is questionable.
3. Osweiler threw for 269 yards and two TDs in a 26-23 overtime home win over Indianapolis in Week 6.

Carolina at Seattle
When: 4:05 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Seahawks -6.5. O/U: 41.5

Join BetOnline and get up to $1,000 BONUS

Oddsmakers currently have the Seahawks listed as 6½-point favorites versus the Panthers, while the game’s total is sitting at 41½.

Seattle is also getting a key player back as Marshawn Lynch, who has rushed for at least 11 touchdowns and 1,200 yards for four straight seasons, returns after missing two games with a hamstring injury. Russell Wilson threw for only 213 yards with one touchdown and one interception last week while getting sacked four times to raise his league-leading total to 22. Even without Lynch, the Seahawks have the league’s top-ranked rushing attack (142.4 yards per game), but their defense has already surrendered at least 27 points on three occasions.

Seattle lost its last outing, a 27-24 result against the Bengals on October 11. The Seahawks earned a push in that game as a +3-point underdog, while the 51 combined points took the game OVER the total.

Team record: 2-3 SU,1-3-1 ATS
Seattle is 1-5-2 ATS in its last 8 games
Seattle is 13-5 SU in its last 18 games
Seattle is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games

Despite losing No. 1 wideout Kelvin Benjamin for the year in the preseason, Newton has thrown for seven touchdowns versus two interceptions while rushing for 195 yards and two more scores. Running back Jonathan Stewart has yet to rush for more than 62 yards in a game while tight end Greg Olsen is the leading receiver with 17 catches and a pair of touchdowns. The Panthers will welcome back middle linebacker and 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Luke Kuechly, who has been sidelined the past three games due to a concussion.

Carolina won its last outing, a 37-23 result against the Buccaneers on October 04. The Panthers covered in that game as a -3-point favorite, while the 60 combined points took the game OVER the total.

Team record: 4-0 SU,3-1 ATS
Current Streak: won 4 straight games.
Carolina is 5-1-1 ATS in its last 7 games
Carolina is 9-1 SU in its last 10 games
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Carolina’s last 6 games

San Francisco at Pittsburgh
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, September 20, 2015

LINE: Steelers -5.5. O/U: 45

Join BetOnline and get up to $1,000 BONUS

Oddsmakers currently have the Steelers listed as 6½-point favorites versus the 49ers, while the game’s total is sitting at 45.

Despite missing receiver Martavis Bryant (suspension) and Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey (lower leg injury), Ben Roethlisberger threw for 351 yards and found Brown for an 11-yard touchdown in the waning moments of the season-opening loss. Although Brown has collected at least five receptions for 50 yards in an NFL-record 33 consecutive games (34 including playoffs), he wasn’t too pleased with the team’s inability to convert in the red zone. “Numbers are great, but it’s all about winning,” Brown said.

In their last action, Pittsburgh was a 28-21 loser on the road against the Patriots. They earned a push of the +7-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (49) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.

Team record: 0-1 SU,0-0-1 ATS
Pittsburgh is 4-1-1 ATS in its last 6 games
Pittsburgh is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Pittsburgh’s last 5 games
Pittsburgh is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games at home

Tomsula was particularly thrilled with what he saw from Colin Kaepernick, although the quarterback’s statistics (165 yards passing, 41 rushing) don’t exactly jump off the page. “I don’t think we had something that was broke,” Tomsula said of the 27-year-old Kaepernick. “He’s a very talented athlete. He’s a very talented quarterback. He’s got a skill set, we just want to utilize his skill set.” Vernon Davis, who reeled in three receptions for 47 yards, will look to exploit a Pittsburgh defense that was gashed for three touchdowns by fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots.

San Francisco won its last outing, a 20-3 result against the Vikings on September 14. The 49ers covered in that game as a +3-point underdog, while the 23 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

Team record: 1-0 SU,1-0 ATS
San Francisco is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games
San Francisco is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games

Tampa Bay at New Orleans
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, September 20, 2015

Join BetOnline and get up to $1,000 BONUS

Oddsmakers currently have the Saints listed as 10½-point favorites versus the Buccaneers, while the game’s total is sitting at 48½.

The defense, which underwent a personnel overhaul in the offseason after finishing 31st in the league in total defense in 2014, could use a little help from an offense that struggled in the red zone in the opener. “The defense got off the field a few times and we had some chances to go down and get significant points, and we just ended up with field goals,” quarterback Drew Brees told reporters. “Red-zone efficiency obviously (is a priority) as we look forward to the Bucs.” Brees presided over a pair of wins over Tampa Bay last season but totaled six interceptions and three touchdown passes in those contests.

New Orleans was a 31-19 loser in its last match on the road against the Cardinals. They failed to cover the +2-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 50 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.

Team record: 0-1 SU,0-1 ATS
New Orleans is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games
New Orleans is 3-6 SU in its last 9 games
New Orleans is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games at home
New Orleans is 11-5 SU in its last 16 games at home

Tampa Bay’s coaching staff was searching for positives after the Week 1 debacle and singled out running back Doug Martin, who is expected to have a big season after being limited to a total of 17 games over the previous two campaigns. “(Martin) is a hard runner and he can make you miss in the open field, (he) can catch the ball out of the backfield,” coach Lovie Smith told reporters. “So early on, of course when you’re in a situation where you can run it, it looked good at times.” Martin is averaging 99 rushing yards and 108.7 from scrimmage in his last three games against New Orleans.

Tampa Bay lost its last outing, a 42-14 result against the Titans on September 13. The Buccaneers failed to cover in that game as a -3-point favorite, while the 56 combined points took the game OVER the total.

Team record: 0-1 SU,0-1 ATS
Tampa Bay is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games
The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Tampa Bay’s last 11 games

Seattle at Washington
When: 4:30 PM ET, Sunday, January 6, 2013
Where: FedEx Field, Landover, Maryland
Oddsmakers currently have the Seahawks listed as 1-point favorites versus the Redskins, while the game’s total is sitting at 45½.
TV: 4:30 p.m.ET, FOX. LINE: Seahawks -3, O/U 46
Prediction: Redskins 23, Seahawks 20

Seattle closed the season with a 20-13 victory over St. Louis, but it was a dominating three-game stretch prior to that victory that opened eyes coast-to-coast. The Seahawks annihilated San Francisco, Buffalo and Arizona by a combined 150-30, becoming the first team in 62 years to amass that many points in a three-game stretch. Wilson threw 16 touchdown passes and only two interceptions over the final eight games and running back Marshawn Lynch churned out ten 100-yard games – including four straight to close the season – to finish third in the league with 1,590 yards. Seattle was equally impressive on the other side of the ball, surrendering a league-low 15.3 points per game. The Seahawks will get a boost in the secondary when starting CB Brandon Browner returns from a four-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy.

Seattle was a 20-13 winner in its last match at home against the Rams. They failed to cover the 11-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 33 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

Team records:
Seattle: 11-5 SU, 11-5 ATS
Washington: 10-6 SU, 11-5 ATS

Griffin set a rookie record with 815 rushing yards but is still dealing with a sprained knee ligament that caused him to sit out a game and limited his mobility in season-ending wins over Philadelphia and Dallas. He threw for only 100 yards against the Cowboys, although he still managed to run for 63 yards and a score. Like Wilson, Griffin has a hard-charging running back to lean on in fellow rookie Alfred Morris, a sixth-round pick out of Florida Atlantic. Morris finished second in the league with 1,613 yards and capped off the regular season by running over the Cowboys for 200 yards and three touchdowns. Washington’s defense is vulnerable against the pass (281.9 yards), ranking 30th in the league, but was fifth against the run (95.8). It has steadily improved in the second half, allowing an average of eight fewer points over the final eight games.

In their last action, Washington was a 28-18 winner at home against the Cowboys. They covered the 3.5-point spread as favorites, while the combined score (46) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.

Indianapolis at Baltimore
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, January 6, 2013
Where: M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, Maryland
Oddsmakers currently have the Ravens listed as 6½-point favorites versus the Colts, while the game’s total is sitting at 46.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Ravens -6.5, O/U 47
Prediction: Ravens 19, Colts 16

With nine more wins than the 2011 campaign, Indianapolis posted the NFL’s third-best turnaround in history. Luck has played a significant role in the Colts’ resurgence, having led them on seven game-winning drives in the fourth quarter over overtime. His 4,374 yards are the most by a rookie quarterback. Bruce Arians has guided the team in the absence of Pagano, who was a defensive assistant coach for four years with Baltimore and defensive coordinator in 2011.

Indianapolis won its last outing, a 28-16 result against the Texans on December 30. The Colts covered in that game as a 6.5-point underdog, while the 44 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

Team records:
Indianapolis: 11-5 SU, 11-5 ATS
Baltimore: 10-6 SU, 6-9-1 ATS

Indianapolis most recently:

When playing on turf are 7-3

Lewis has been sidelined 10 games with a torn right triceps, but the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year expects to play on Sunday. How much he’ll play is in limbo, but wide receiver Anquan Boldin will be on the field after his one-week hiatus with a bruised shoulder. Boldin has fared well versus Indianapolis, collecting 19 receptions for 221 yards and a touchdown in three career games. Ray Rice rushed for 103 yards and a score and added six receptions in a 24-10 win over the Colts on Dec. 11, 2011.

Baltimore was a 23-17 loser in its last match on the road against the Bengals. They failed to cover the 5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 40 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

Minnesota at Green Bay
When: 8:00 PM ET, Saturday, January 5, 2013
Where: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin
TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC.
Line: Packers -9.5. O/U: 46
Oddsmakers currently have the Packers listed as 9½-point favorites versus the Vikings, while the game’s total is sitting at 46.
Prediction: Packers 28, Vikings 24

Minnesota needed to win its final four games of the regular season just to reach the playoffs and knocked off playoff contenders Chicago, Houston and Green Bay in those final weeks. Peterson carried it 34 times for 199 yards in Week 17 and averaged 159.8 yards over the final 10 games of the regular season despite being less than a year removed from major knee surgery. While Peterson’s performance has been consistent, quarterback Christian Ponder’s effort in the finale was more of a surprise. The second-year starter passed for 234 yards and a season-high three touchdowns without an interception for a career-best 120.2 rating. The Vikings have some big questions on defense, as cornerback Antoine Winfield left Sunday’s game with a hand injury and is questionable. Rodgers threw for three scores with Winfield off the field.

Minnesota won its last outing, a 37-34 result against the Packers on December 30. The Vikings covered in that game as a 3-point underdog, while the 71 combined points took the game OVER the total.

Team records:
Minnesota: 10-6 SU, 8-7-1 ATS
Green Bay: 11-5 SU, 9-7 ATS

Green Bay did not have the same motivation as Minnesota last week, with the Packers’ postseason spot already assured. They could have earned a first-round bye with a victory, but the “win or go home” mentality that will be there this week was not on display in Minneapolis. Rodgers is working with a battered receiving corps with Randall Cobb (ankle) questionable and Jordy Nelson (hamstring) limited. Greg Jennings caught a pair of touchdown passes last week in his best game of the season and could get a lot more attention from the Minnesota secondary on Saturday. Stopping Peterson will be the No. 1 goal for the defense. The MVP candidate shredded Green Bay for 409 yards in two meetings this season.

Green Bay lost its last outing, a 37-34 result against the Vikings on December 30. The Packers failed to cover in that game as a 3-point favorite, while the 71 combined points took the game OVER the total.
