The Falcons played some of the best defense in Week 11 and the Buccaneers got blown out at home vs. the Saints. Who’d have thunk? A team is only as good as their last game or two and that makes the Dirty Birds HOT! This Week 12 matchup features a pretty low point spread considering the Falcons like to throw and TB has one of the worse secondaries in the NFL!
The bye week off didn’t help the Saints who were upset at home 26-9 by the Falcons who were a +14 underdog. They’ll look to get back on track against a Bucs team that they beat 31-24 in New Orleans earlier this season. Will we see more of the same in the rematch? Get Horne’s take and why he believes the total is the way to play this game.
The LSU Tigers are in a huge letdown spot here after upsetting the Alabama Crimson Tide last week, however, Jay thinks they’ll come out strong anyway vs. one of the weakest teams in the SEC.
Generally speaking, large underdogs of this nature cover the spread at a rate of around 60%. While the Clemson Tigers are likely to roll in this game, don’t discount the Demon Deacons when it comes to the money. They’re 7-3 and will be bringing it as this is their Super Bowl.
The poor Bulldogs! Having to face Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide after a loss is like eating a mouthful of habanero peppers with no milk nearby. The hornets nest has been shaken and the Bulldogs are going to get stung.
Georgia has just one loss on the season and that came against South Carolina 20-17 who they out yarded 468-297, but finished -4 in turnovers. The 20 points scored were the highest scored against them and that included seven points scored via a 53 yard interception return. Defense wins championship but can it lead the Dawgs to a cover?
The Rams seem to have gotten back on track, averaging 30+ in four of their last five games. Pittsburgh played like garbage on MNF a couple weeks ago and barely got by a beat up Colts team last week. Mason Rudolph has the worst arm of any QB in football. The Rams look like as good of a bet as any in Week 10!
The Chiefs haven’t stopped the run and that’s where the Titans thrive. Expect Derrick Henry to push 30 touches in a game where we also believe KC is rushing Mahomes back too soon. The Titans are a barking dog and easily Week 10 NFL’s underdog bet of the week!
Clemson has dominated ACC opponents winners of 19 straight. However, NC State has played them tough, covering the point spread in 6 of the last 9 meetings. Underdogs of +32 or bigger generally cover over 60% of the time. Take the points and slug down some Pepto Bismol!
It doesn’t get any better than this in college foots! The NCAA’s top two teams clash at Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday for King of the Hill status. Bama QB Tua Tagovailoa is listed as questionable at time of print, which makes this game even spicier! Take the points and buckle up for an exciting battle on both sides of the ball!
