SURVIVOR
Each week I will pick two games, my “Play it Safe” selection as well as my “Out on a Limb” pick:
Play It Safe (6-1): Lions vs. LV
The Lions are coming off an embarrassing loss last week at Baltimore now they get to return home for a Monday Night Football matchup vs. the Raiders. Look for Detroit to get back on the winning back side of the track in a big way here.
Out on a Limb (4-3): Ravens at ARI
Picking against the Cardinals has become a trend here and this week isn’t the week to shy away from that strategy as the Ravens come to town. Lamar Jackson is having an MVP type of season and the defense has been stellar for Baltimore.
THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIALS
Look for my “Against the Spread” plays in a separate article that will run each Saturday this season. Here I will look at my Thursday night betting recommendation.
The Pick:
$100 Over 43 (Bet MGM)
Season total: +$300 (5-2 on season)
The injuries on the Bills’ defense are piling up and that is enough to convince me that the Bucs are going to put some points on the board and I definitely expect Josh Allen and company to do the same.
Same Game Parlay Prop Bet (DraftKings)
$20 (+550 DraftKings)
Season total: (-$120)
- Bills -2.5
- Mike Evans Over 58.5 ReYd
- Stefon Diggs 80+ ReYd
- Dalton Kincaid Over 3.5 receptions
