SAN FRANCISCO (-3.5) OVER SEATTLE (***SUNDAY BEST BET!***)
CHEAT LINE PROJECTED SCORE: SAN FRAN 24 vs SEATTLE 17
San Fran has the #1 Red Zone TD conversation percentage in the NFL at 77.4% and they are facing a team that is struggling since the return of Russell Wilson. Over last 3 games SEA is 29th in offensive yards per game and allowing the 30th most defensive yards per game. SF is 10th in offensive yards per game and allowing the 2nd least amount of yards over that same last 3 game span. Seattle on a 28-57 actual point deficit over last 3 weeks.

INDY (-10) OVER HOUSTON
CHEAT LINE PROJECTED SCORE: INDY 29 vs HOUSTON 16
Houston is dead last in offensive yards per game over the last 3 at only 221. IND is 4-1 ATS on the road and 7-5 ATS on the season. Let’s look at INDY first and break them down. They just played a good game against a solid Tampa Bay team and lost 38-31. In that game they held a 392-357 total yard edge. The prior week they crushed a good Buffalo team 41-15 and held a 28-19 FD edge and 370-311 total yard edge. Indy is playing great right now.
Houston got beat by the NYJ last week 21-14 and was down a 13-18 FD edge and 202-266 total yard deficit. They were only able to manage 13 first downs and 202 total yard against the Jets so what do you think Indy can do to them? The prior week Houston BEAT the Titans 22-13 and that will fool the betting public to think Houston might have a chance here, but they don’t. In that game against the Titans they only had 15 first downs and 190 total yards. The Titans dominated that game 26-15 on first downs and 420-190 total yards but they had 5 TURNOVERS that killed them. Don’t be fooled - Houston is still horrible and Indy will be able to easily win this game. Lay it!

3 TEAM – 10 POINT TEASER
TAMPA BAY (-11 DOWN TO -1) – NFL Cheatsheet has this projected at 31-18 with Tampa Bay rolling by the Falcons. This teaser is a way for me to get exposure to the game without laying double digits. ATL is dead last in QB pressure and Tampa Bay is #1 in QB protection. This game features #1 offense vs. 29th defense and then 6th best defense vs. 31st offense.
INDY (-10 DOWN TO PICK) – Read the above breakdown.
RAMS (-12.5 DOWN TO -2.5) – Rams have now lost 3 straight games and NEED TO WIN against a horrible JAX team. They were knocked off by the Packers 36-28, San Fran 31-10 and Titans 28-16. Rams have only put up 15, 16 and 16 first downs in those 3 games. Our Cheat Line model on our NFL Cheatsheet has this score projected at 28-18. With a 3 game skid I’m not laying that many points but like some exposure on a teaser because they are a good team and it has to turn around this week.
