Here were all of my plays for today, posted at my site:
49ers Pick
Arizona will be on their high horse after a great win against Seattle at home. The 49ers have beat the Cardinals in 7 of their last 8 games. San Fran is playing for a possible home field advantage- which would keep them out of Seattle. Arizona knows they have a minimal chance at playoffs. Carson Palmer did not play well last week, and I don't expect him to play well against another great defense. 49ers 8-2 ATS against Arizona in last 10. 49ers are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games.
Saints -12
Tampa Bay is 7-13-1 ATS in their last 21 games. The Saints are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 at home. Saints are playing for their playoff spot, it is a must win. Glennon has been effective if given time, but I expect the Saints to bring the blitz and put pressure on their run game on first down. Tampa Bay, offensively on the road, is terrible at 29th, while New Orleans overall home defense is ranked 5th.
Steelers -7
After a terrible start, the Steelers have a minor chance of playoffs. They are playing the Browns who have lost 6 straight, and injuries are piling up. Browns are 1-5 ATS last 6. It won't get any easier for a terrible offense against the number 3rd ranked passing defense at home in the Steelers. Steelers have won 5 of their last 7.
Denver/Raiders Under 54
Total has gone under in 8 of last 11 at home for the Raiders. Broncos will not need to play starters and I do not expect Peyton to play in the second half. It could turn into the Moreno show, if he's even still in. I don't think either team will be extraneous with their play calling. Oakland is ranked 2nd overall in the NFL against the rush at home. So if Peyton does not play part of the game, I think they will fare well in containing the Denver Offense. The Raiders may also be playing for a better draft pick as they have lost 7 of their last 8.
Bengals -6
10-1 ATS last 11. Also, 7-0 ATS at home in their last 7. The Ravens are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games in December. The Ravens have a chance at playoffs still, and will play hard but they are down after a 41-7 loss last week. Cincinnati is rolling after a blowout win over Minn. last week and will want to keep momentum going into the playoffs. Bengals also may have the opportunity for the 2nd seed in the AFC and that will be in their mind.
