500? Miami Dolphins
Playing a very bad Seattle team who is being asked make the longest road trip in the league I like Miami to roll at home today. I mean given how improved the Dolphins are this year I just don’t see a 2-6 Seattle team keeping thing close on South Beach. Not when Seattle will be traveling three time zones to play a early Sunday game as no Pacific time zone team has traveled to the east coast and won this season losing all 12 games played while burning money along the way going 2-9-1 ATS. Even worst for Seattle they will be making their second trip to Florida in just four weeks and doing so still without their starting quarterback and a key wide receiver things are stacked against the Seahawks today. Meanwhile, for Miami they are full of confidence having won their last two games behind a now dangerous offense and nasty defense. Easy call… Take the Dolphins minus the points as they blowout the Seahawks.
All Miami!
100? Kansas City Chiefs
All Kansas City plus the road points here. Yep, even though the Chiefs suck there is no reason why San Diego is laying this big of a spread today. Not when the Chargers have struggled all season long on both sides of the ball and more struggles expected today due to their London hangover. Meanwhile, going for the Chiefs is the fact that road teams of 9’ or more are an amazing 9-2 ATS this season as Kansas City has gone 4-1 ATS this season alone when grabbing 9’ or more. So backing a Kansas City team that is showing offensive life in their last two games by scoring 51 total points I look for the Chiefs to keep things closer then expected as they cover for the third straight week. Take Kansas City plus the points!Comment

Teddy Covers free play:
Carolina -9.5 @ Oakland
Recommendation: Take Carolina
Here are the quotes DeAngelo Hall’s former teammates in Oakland, describing the situation this week now that Hall has been cut just eight games after signing a huge multi-year contract to play for the Raiders long term. Safety Gibril Wilson: “I’ve never been in a situation where you cut one of the best players. That’s strange to me. It’s almost like we’re throwing in the towel.”
Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha: “I’m obviously disappointed. I don’t agree with what happened. I don’t agree with what’s going on. But I am just a player so I can’t speak on it. I don’t make the decisions. All I can do is play but I don’t agree with what happened at all….. Like I said, I’m not allowed to speak on it because we’re just supposed to shut up and play. But you ask me if I agree with it? I don’t agree with it.”
The Raiders have played four games since firing head coach Lane Kiffin and replacing him with Tom Cable. They have been absolutely dominated in three of those contests, suffering non-competitive losses to the Saints, Ravens and Falcons. Last week, right here in Oakland against Atlanta, the Raiders were outgained in the first half 302 yards to -3. They went ‘three-and-out’ on seven of their first eight possessions, fumbling away the football on the eighth possession.
The Raiders are not a confident team. They are not a well coached team. And they are most assuredly not a team that has developed any sort of positive chemistry in recent weeks. They’ve lost three of their four home games by double digit margins, enjoying very little homefield edge. No, we’re not getting any bargains betting against Oakland these days – the betting marketplace certainly recognizes their numerous issues – but it’s certainly easier to bet against them in this deflated price range at home, considering their non-existent home field edge.
Carolina is better than all three of the teams that have destroyed Oakland over the last month. Carolina is rested and ready, coming off a bye. The Panthers have enjoyed tremendous success following their bye week under John Fox, winning by at least two touchdowns three times in four years prior to last season. But last year, Carolina went into their bye with a 4-2 record, then proceeded to lose five straight, killing their season, starting with a 24 point road loss at Indy immediately following the break. That’s the type of lesson John Fox won’t need to reinforce too much – Carolina knows full well that they have a chance for a special season, and this game requires full focus.
Take the Panthers -9.5Comment
