    Best Bet

    Under Rams/49ers 48.5 (-115)

    8:15PM: These teams combined to score 82 points in week 14. Now they have to turn around on a short week and play each other. They first matched up in week 3 and scored 51 total points, going over in the process. It went over by about a touchdown. All of this is pointing to another shoot out, but I lean the opposite. 2 division rivals scoring a ton with decent defenses. 49ers are also trying to get back in the wild card and division race. Rams are trying to keep up with the Seahawks for the division while trying to put the 49ers out of their misery that is this season. Both defense will play on the better end today so give me the under.

    Rutgers -2.5 (-110)

    7:00PM: Penn State is playing really well this year, currently 8-1 on the year. Rutgers on the other hand came into the year with 2 top recruits, a top 25 ranking to start the year and are only 5-4 including a loss to Kennesaw State. Penn State is coming off a a home win against 8th ranked Purdue. I think they have a little bit of a let down today with playing an unranked conference opponent on the road.

    Best Bet

    Bengals/Cowboys over 50.5 (-110)

    8:15PM: Sometimes the obvious pick is the easy pick. Bengals can score and give up points. Cowboys also give up points at home, see last week giving up 20 points to a Drew Lock led Giants team. I really have no feel for this game but you really can’t take the under in this game with 2 bad defenses.

    Best Bet

    Pittsburgh Steelers -6 (-110)

    1:00PM: Another NFL scheduling quirk, 2 division teams playing twice in 3 weeks. Steelers lost in that snowy game 2 weeks ago in Cleveland, thought they had a chance to win but ultimately ended up losing. Cleveland has not swept the Steelers since the 80s and have not won in Pittsburgh since Tim Couch was the quarterback and there has been a lot of quarterbacks since then in Cleveland. This is also a chance to go up 2 games on the Ravens in the division for the Steelers. This might also be the last winnable game for the Steelers. They have a brutal schedule down the stretch finishing with Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals. They need to win this game to pad their lead in the division and keep up with the Bills and Chiefs for a top spot.

    Best Bet

    Texas -3 (-105)

    4:00PM: Texas is coming off a dominant performance on defense against Texas A&M, not allowing an offensive touchdown. Georgia is coming off an in state rivalry game where it went to 8 OT where they were 17 point favorites entering the game. I think Texas has made adjustments both on defense and on offense since the last time the played Georgia and they will be ready for them today. Losing the first time at home and basically being a home game for Georgia, with this game being only a couple hours from Georgia’s campus, and still being favorites tells me a lot about this Texas team.

    Best Bet

    UNLV +4 (-110)

    8:00PM: This is one of the two games this weekend that is a true win and get in game. UNLV has no business to be in the CFP meanwhile Boise St does. They have been talked about all year, have basically run through their schedule and played tough against Oregon at Oregon. They even have a Heisman trophy candidate on their team. This is a dream season for Boise even with hosting the Mountain West Championship on their home blue turf. And here comes UNLV, who Boise beat earlier in the season. Jeanty had his 2nd worst game of the year against UNLV (which is great game by any other standards) 128 yards with 1 touchdown on 33 carries. This is UNLV’s Super Bowl, might as well come out swinging.
