Kansas City Chiefs vs. Seattle Seahawks Pick
The Chiefs have been slipping some in recent weeks, with personnel losses and setbacks on the field. The season began with nary a hiccup, as they won 9 of their first ten, covering almost every spread. They haven’t covered a spread now in any of their last five games and people are looking at them as something less than a conference contender. LL gives his prediction on Chiefs vs Seahawks.
Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals Pick
At this point in the season, who cares what happened in week two? At the same time, a 34-0 Rams wipeout over the Cardinals does stand out. And with the Rams looking to get the ship righted, this very well could be the ideal spot. Arizona managed just five first downs in that game and if not for some defensive playmaking, that score could have been even uglier. Do the Rams have the Cards number? Sportsbooks think so with their number at -13.5.
Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers Pick
The Chicago Bears come into the Bay Area to take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in NFC action. Granted, only one team has a real future this season, but that doesn’t mean this won’t be a good game at Levi’s Stadium. The Bears are riding high at 10-4, coming off a 24-17 win over the Packers, which clinched them the division. Will they get up for the Niners and cover the bookmaker’s spread of -4?
Redbox Bowl Pick: Michigan State Spartans vs. Oregon Ducks 12/31/18
The Michigan State Spartans face the Oregon Ducks on December 31 in the Redbox Bowl from Levi’s Stadium. It’s a closer trip for the 8-4 Ducks, while the Spartans cross the country looking for a strong finish to a strange season. They could never gain much traction this year, but look to get what would be a nice win over favored Oregon. The Ducks last played on the 23rd, with the Spartans having last seen the field a day later. The oddsmaker has Oregon as a three point favorite with the total a low 48 points. Offensive line health was the hurdle that Michigan State couldn’t get over and will be a key to keeping up with ther opponent in tis bowl.

Sun Bowl Pick: Stanford Cardinal vs. Pittsburgh Panthers Dec 31
The Stanford Cardinal take on the Pittsburgh Panthers in the Sun Bowl on December 31 in El Paso. The college football board has Stanford as the betting favorite with Cardinal backers having to lay six points.

Predictem handicapper Loot Levinson thinks the point spread is the way go and he believes one of these teams is not like the other. Read on to get his Sun Bowl wager.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions Pick
Last time these team met was November 4th and the Vikings took a 24-9 home win We aren’t sure Detroit is in a better position now. In that game, they scored no touchdowns, with their scoring coming on three field goals. This was back when the Lions were running the ball well. With Detroit getting 5.5, is there any reason to bet them? LL has your Vikings-Lions prediction!
Peach Bowl Pick: Florida Gators vs. Michigan Wolverines 12/29/18
The Florida Gators take on the Michigan Wolverines in the Peach Bowl on December 29 in Atlanta. Both teams were successful this season, just a step away from really special seasons. The CFB board has Michigan as a 7.5 favorite on the betting line with the O/U line at 50.5. The big question on many minds is whether or not Big Blue can rebound from that spanking by the Buckeyes. Check out Loot’s forecast on how the game will play out along with his prediction.
First Responder Bowl Pick: Boston College Eagles vs. Boise State Broncos
The Boston College Eagles take on the Boise State Broncos in the First Responder Bowl in Dallas on December 26. Boise State is coming off a ten-win season. While successful in many ways, coming up short at home against a team they had beaten in Fresno in the MWC title game was a tough pill to swallow. They hope to make up for it in this bowl spot against the Eagles. It was shaping into a good season for BC until the end, but they still ended up bowl-eligible and could give their season some extra credence with a nice win in this game. Get Loot’s complete analysis and college bowl pick.
Cheez-It Bowl Pick: California Golden Bears vs. TCU Horned Frogs 12/26/18
The California Golden Bears take on the TCU Horned Frogs on December 26 at Chase Field in Phoenix in the Cheez-It Bowl.
