Houston Texans at Dallas Cowboys odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Houston Texans at Dallas Cowboys odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Houston Texans (1-10-1) will travel to AT&T Stadium to call on the Dallas Cowboys (9-3) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Texans vs. Cowboys odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

After turning away from QB Davis Mills in favor of Kyle Allen, Texans coach Lovie Smith has decided to go back to Mills against the Cowboys. No matter the QB, the Texans offense has struggled mightily in 2022 and a wholesale change is ahead in the offseason.

RB Dameon Pierce has had a solid season as a rookie, tied for 5th with 198 carries and tied for 8th with 861 yards. Pierce has been the lone bright spot for a dreadful Houston team that has all but secured the No. 1 draft pick.

The Cowboys, despite having QB Dak Prescott and WR CeeDee Lamb, have also relied heavily on the run game in 2022. Tony Pollard has rushed for 852 yards and Ezekiel Elliott has gained 654 yards.

The Cowboys’ ability to score in the run game and in the pass game has helped them overcome injuries and inconsistent play on the offensive line. While the Cowboys defense has been top notch, it is more vulnerable against the run then against the pass.

Texans at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 27, Texans 13

Moneyline

PASS.

Dallas at -2000 is far too large to make a play on and the +950 would be a great payout, but it will not hit. For this reason, neither side is a good play, and it is best to stay away.

Against the spread

BET HOUSTON +17 (-110).

Run the ball. This will be the mantra of both sides in this battle for Texas.

Pierce will get 25 or more carries in this game as the Texans just look to not get blown off the field since after a 54-19 victory over the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday, Dallas will come into this game hyped up.

I do not see this game being close or particularly interesting. But I do see it landing within the 17-point number. Therefore, Houston +17 (-110) is my favorite play in this matchup.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 44.5 (-109).

This number is low and getting lower. If it gets to 42.5, I will stay away. But if you can get 44.5, I still like the Under.

According to CBS Sports, since 2010 after Week 8 in games with spreads of 17 or more, the Under has hit 6 of 8 times. While this is not a large sample size, neither are 17-point spreads. We know at this point in the season who teams are. We know for sure what these teams are. Both want to run the ball. The Texans will ride Pierce and the Cowboys will ride Elliott and Pollard. This is the same reason I prefer the Texans ATS as well. The game will be shortened, and Dallas wants to get out injury-free and move on to the next game. The Cowboys are looking forward to the playoffs. This means they are also looking past this game. A breezy game is in store so take the Under 44 (-109).

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’sCleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Browns (5-7) meet the Cincinnati Bengals (8-4) in a Week 14 matchup Sunday. Kickoff at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Browns vs. Bengals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns have won 2 games in a row against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans, which is actually a season high. The Browns welcomed QB Deshaun Watson back from an 11-game suspension last week, but he was very rusty. It was the defense and special teams saving the day, accounting for all 3 TDs in a 27-14 win in Houston.

The Bengals are looking for revenge after getting embarrassed 32-13 in Cleveland on Monday Night Football in Week 8. Cincinnati, a 2.5-point underdog last week, earned a 27-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, as QB Joe Burrow improved to 3-0 against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. However, he is 0-4 all-time against the AFC North rival Browns.

Browns at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 27, Browns 20

Moneyline

The Bengals will cost you nearly 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s risky business considering the Browns won the 1st matchup by 19 points. Cleveland also comes in with a modest season-high 2-game win streak, and Burrow has never beat the Browns, so there is plenty of risk.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Play the BENGALS -5.5 (-112) for a solid value here.

Yes, Burrow hasn’t beaten Cleveland in his career, but Cincinnati is jockeying for 1 of the top spots in the AFC playoff picture. The Browns offense was awful last week, and needed a miracle on defense to beat a bad Texans side. This isn’t a good football team, and Burrow and the Bengals will put the Browns in their place Sunday.

Over/Under

OVER 46 (-108) is the lean, ever so slightly.

The Under is actually 3-1-1 in the last 5 inside the AFC North for the Browns, but the Over is 12-4-1 in the last 17 against winning teams.

The Over is also 7-1-2 in the last 10 meetings in this series, and 6-for-6 in the last 6 meetings in the Queen City.

Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

[mm-video type=video id=01gks9v5zehtbxprctag playlist_id=none player_id=01evcg1x9ny8tb834m image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01gks9v5zehtbxprctag/01gks9v5zehtbxprctag-ae70f83408a6aad09342227a7e89703b.jpg]

The NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings (10-2) find themselves underdogs when they meet the Detroit Lions (5-7) Sunday in Ford Field at 1 p.m. ET (FOX) Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Vikings vs. Lions odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Vikings have been very shaky on defense, yet have found ways to win games late at a level that is almost unprecedented and they have their share of detractors. Minnesota is 9-0 in 1-score games and their 2 losses have been blowouts. The Vikings beat the Lions 28-24 in Week 3.

Detroit was off to a dismal start, losing 5 straight to drop to 1-6 before winning 4 of the last 5 with their only loss being a 28-25 defeat to Buffalo. They beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 40-14 last week at home as half-point underdogs.

If the Vikings win this game, they wrap up the NFC North title with a month left in the regular season and, despite the naysayers, would be the 1st team in the league to secure a division title and a guaranteed home playoff game.

Vikings at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Vikings 30, Lions 24

Moneyline

TAKE THE VIKINGS (+105).

Everyone seems to be waiting for Minnesota’s uncanny luck in the 4th quarter to run out and have been predicting “trap games” when they played the New England Patriots and New York Jets, yet they won both of them.

The Vikings pass defense is brutal and gives up a lot of yards, but the D creates turnovers and makes big plays in the red zone to turn touchdowns into field goals. Detroit’s defense isn’t much better, so if the game is close in the final 5 minutes, don’t bet against the Vikings

Against the spread

TAKE THE VIKINGS +2.5 (-112)

Seeing as I’m taking the Vikings on the moneyline, this bet has less return, but it gives you the option of winning in the event of a tie or a Lions win by 1 or 2 points.

Over/Under

TAKE OVER 51.5 POINTS (-110).

This is a difficult because the O/U is extremely high. That said, both teams have consistently hit or surpassed that number in recent weeks. Both defenses are pretty awful, especially on the back end and allow a lot of points.

In their last 4 games, the Vikings have allowed 118 points and scored 27 or more in 3 of the last 4. Detroit has scored 127 points in its last 4 games, so the potential for a lot of scoring taking place justifies an O/U this high because it’s very likely going to be surpassed.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans odds, picks and predictions

The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-8) meet the Tennessee Titans 7-5) in a Week 14 AFC South showdown at Nissan Stadium. Kickoff Sunday is at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Jaguars vs. Titans odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Jaguars suffered a 40-14 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 13 as they didn’t come close to covering as 1-point underdogs. Jacksonville has lost 7 of its last 9 games.

The Titans lost 35-10 to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13 as 5-point underdogs. Tennessee has lost 2 straight games, but the Titans are still the clear No. 1 team in the AFC South.

Jaguars at Titans picks and predictions

Prediction

Titans 27, Jaguars 20

Moneyline

Go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this game with the Titans expected to win at home. The odds for Tennessee to secure the victory aren’t worth taking straight up, but I would be fine taking the Titans to win in a parlay.

Against the spread

TITANS -3.5 (-110) appears to be the ideal choice in this game given the recent history between these teams. It also doesn’t help that Lawrence could either be inactive or hobbled for the Jaguars on Sunday.

The Jaguars are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 road meetings with the Titans and are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 meetings overall. On top of that, the favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between Jacksonville and Tennessee.

Over/Under

While neither of these teams has consistently put up a lot of points, OVER 41 (-113) is where I’m leaning. RB Derrick Henry could have a big week for the Titans and the Jaguars could have success through the air against Tennessee’s weak pass defense.

The Over is 7-1 in Jacksonville’s last 8 road games. Also, the Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between these 2 teams when the game takes place in Tennessee.

New York Jets at Buffalo Bills odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Jets at Buffalo Bills odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Jets (7-5) meet the Buffalo Bills (9-3) for Week 14 matchup Sunday. Kickoff at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y., is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Jets vs. Bills odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Jets are coming off a 27-22 loss on the road as 2.5-point underdogs against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13, and New York has lost its last 2 road games since winning in Denver in Week 7. New York was a 10-point underdog when it beat Buffalo 20-17 in Week 9 in East Rutherford, N.J.

The Bills are on a 3-game win streak, and they have scored 23 or more points in 4 straight games, and 8 of the last 9 outings. The lone exception is the 17 points they managed in the 1st meeting against Gang Green.

Jets at Bills picks and predictions

Prediction

Bills 24, Jets 16

Moneyline

The Bills will cost you 4 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too expensive, even at home, against a Jets side which beat them earlier this year.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Playing the JETS +10 (-113) is a much better value.

The Bills have failed to cover their last 3 games as a double-digit favorite, including the straight-up loss against the Jets in Week 9. And while the Jets have fallen off a little, dropping 3 of the last 5 games, each of the losses are 1-score games.

Over/Under

UNDER 43.5 (-107) is the lean here.

The weather forecast is calling for a mix of rain and snow showers with breezy conditions at 9-13 mph, before the precipitation changes completely to snow in the 2nd half. The weather conditions might limit the amount of passing we see, keeping the ball on the ground. Running keeps the clock moving, which Under bettors love.

Boston Celtics at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Boston Celtics at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Boston Celtics (21-5) and Golden State Warriors (13-13) meet Saturday at Chase Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Celtics vs. Warriors odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Celtics are the favorites to win the NBA Finals at +330 and have covered the spread in 8 of their last 9 games.

Boston’s most-recent win was a 125-98 blowout at the Phoenix Suns Wednesday as 2-point underdogs. Boston originally opened as a 1.5-point underdog before the market moved the line toward Phoenix. F Jayson Tatum and G Jaylen Brown both scored 25 points as Boston covered for the entirety of the final 3 quarters.

The Warriors covered as 6-point underdogs without G Stephen Curry (ankle soreness) in a 124-123 loss at the Utah Jazz Wednesday. G Jordan Poole finished with a game-high 36 points and team-high 8 assists. Curry is good to go for this one.

The Warriors are 7-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 8 home games. Despite its .500 record, Golden State has the 3rd-best odds to win the NBA Finals at +700.

The last head-to-head meeting between the Celtics and Warriors was Game 6 of the 2022 NBA Finals when Golden State won straight up as a 4-point road underdog 103-90 to win the NBA title.

Celtics at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 118, Celtics 112

Moneyline

Sprinkle on WARRIORS (+125).

The Warriors’ biggest hurdle to overcome this season seems to be lack of urgency. There should be no lack of motivation for Golden State Saturday as it gets to play in a rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals in front of its home crowd on national television. While some may like Boston’s revenge angle, it’s not a system that is profitable long term.

Against the spread

BET WARRIORS +2.5 (-105).

This is my best bet of the night. The Warriors are being undervalued in this spot after Boston has been playing like the best team in the NBA for the past 2 weeks.

Despite Golden State sitting at .500 on the season, it is still 1 of the best home teams in the league with an 11-2 record. The Warriors’ last home loss was a 112-104 embarrassment vs. the Indiana Pacers Monday when the best shooter of all time finished 3-of-17 from the field. I would not expect Curry to put up numbers like that anytime soon.

Give me 1 of the best home teams in the NBA catching points vs. a Celtics team playing its 4th straight road game.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 237.5 (-115).

The Under is 7-0-1 in Boston’s last 8 road games and 3-0 in Golden State’s last 3 home games. I expect a more playoff-like atmosphere in this matchup, and I believe both teams will give full effort on the defensive end. This number is set slightly too high considering the recent playoff history between these 2 teams.

The Steelers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 19-16 in Week 13 to cover as 1-point favorites on the road. Pittsburgh has now won 3 of its last 4 games entering Sunday’s matchup with Baltimore.

Ravens at Steelers picks and predictions

Prediction

Steelers 17, Ravens 13

Moneyline

While I’m not extremely confident in Pittsburgh securing a win at home, STEELERS (-125) is where I’d lean if I’m taking the moneyline in this game due to the Ravens’ quarterback issues.

QB Tyler Huntley has proven to be an effective backup for the Ravens, but he has a limited arsenal of weapons and he’ll be playing in a hostile environment.

Against the spread

STEELERS -2 (-111) is an enticing wager with Pittsburgh hosting a Baltimore team that isn’t expected to have Jackson available. All the Steelers need is for QB Kenny Pickett to protect the football and they should be able to come away with the win.

The Ravens are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against a team in the AFC North and they are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 meetings against the Steelers.

Over/Under

With it being a divisional game and a matchup between 2 teams with limited offenses, UNDER 37 (-113) appears to be the ideal way to wager on the total. The Ravens have looked better on defense in recent weeks and with Watt back for the Steelers, they’re a formidable unit.

The Steelers have hit the Under in 4 of their last 5 games following a win and the Under is 7-2 in Pittsburgh’s last 9 home games.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett SCORES A TD (+135)

– Host Panthers, Sunday 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX)

Lockett has scored a touchdown in 5 straight games, and while DK Metcalf is the most-targeted wide receiver in the league in the end zone, Lockett is scoring on plays outside the red zone.

His 5 TDs in the last 5 games have included scores of 21, 33, 35 and 36 yards. When Seattle gets to a certain spot on the field and Lockett is single-covered, Geno Smith throws up 50/50 balls – which are more like 80/20 balls when Lockett is involved.

Streaks always come to an end, but at home, the Panthers likely won’t be the team that shuts him down.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow OVER 275.5 passing yards (-115)

– Host Browns, Sunday 1 p.m. ET (CBS)

The Browns have a solid defense, but it hasn’t translated against Joe Cool. In 4 career games, he has completed 70 percent or more of his passes. In his last 3, he has averaged 309 passing yards a game.

The Bengals know how to exploit the weaknesses of the Browns defense, and Burrow will have the opportunity to make big plays over the top.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce UNDER 73.5 receiving yards (-115)

– At Broncos, Sunday 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS)

The Broncos have made it a habit of double-teaming Kelce and severely limiting him. Not only has Kelce struggled to hit the O/U numbers he’s facing this week, he hasn’t hit half those yards.

He has had less than 35 receiving yards in his last 2 meetings with Denver and 3 of the last 4. The Broncos have made other players beat them because they routinely double Kelce and take him away off the snap.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders OVER 66.5 rushing yards (-115)

– At Giants, Sunday 1 p.m. ET (FOX)

If you were to look at Sanders’ history with the Giants, he hasn’t hit this O/U number in 3 of 5 games, but it has been due to the lack of opportunities. He has averaged 5.3 yards a carry against the Giants, but just hasn’t had the opportunities to get many carries.

This season, Sanders has averaged 15 carries a game. If he gets anywhere near that number against the Giants, he will blow past it.

Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson UNDER 52.5 receiving yards (-115)

– At Lions, Sunday 1 p.m. ET (FOX)

I’m a big fan of revenge plays, but in Hockenson’s 1st game against his former team, his Vikings history says this number is too high.

In 5 games as a Viking, Hockenson has caught 30 passes, but has topped this number just once – his 1st game as a Viking when he caught 9 passes.

In Minnesota, Hockenson’s role is to be an underneath guy that moves the chains, not a downfield threat. He doesn’t have a single reception of 20 yards and is averaging 7.5 yards per reception. At that rate, he will have to catch 7 passes to hit the Over, and that’s a lot to ask – even for a guy looking for revenge.

In a middleweight bout on the preliminary card, Edmen Shahbazyan will face off against Dalcha Lungiambula Saturday at UFC 282 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the UFC 282: Shahbazyan vs. Lungiambula odds, and make our expert picks and predictions.

Both fighters are currently on 3-fight losing skids. Shahbazyan has dropped 2 of his last 3 by KO/TKO, including a 2nd-round TKO loss (elbows) against Nassourdine Imavov at UFC 268 in Nov. 2021.

UFC 282: Shahbazyan vs. Lungiambula picks and predictions

Records: Shahbazyan (11-3) | Lungiambula (11-5)

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

Despite 3-straight losses, Shahbazyan is still just 25 years old and has plenty of untapped potential. Lungiambula is a stronger striker but recent opponents have been able to remain patient and find holes in his standup game. With Shahbazyan being more of a sound, technical striker, this seems like a good fight for him to notch a win and get back on track.

However, the moneyline payout for Shahbazyan at -300 is not worth the risk, so you’re better off taking SHAHBAZYAN BY TKO/KO (+112).

Over/Under (O/U)

Both fighters have decision wins and losses under their belts as well as early- and late-round KO wins and losses. With Shahbazyan joining a new camp and possibly adopting a new strategy, it may be tough to predict a round finish for this bout.

AVOID the Over/Under.

UFC 282: Bryce Mitchell vs. Ilia Topuria odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC 282 odds and lines between Bryce Mitchell and Ilia Topuria, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

In a featherweight bout on the main card, Bryce Mitchell will face Ilia Topuria Saturday at UFC 282 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the UFC 282: Mitchell vs. Topuria odds, and make our expert picks and predictions.

The early prelims begin at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+, with the prelims set to begin at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN2/ESPN+ and the main card starting at 10 p.m. ET on Pay-Per-View (PPV).

Both Mitchell and Topuria are undefeated in the UFC heading into this bout. Mitchell, the No. 9 ranked featherweight in UFC’s rankings, has built up a 15-1 record including a 6-0 record in the UFC. His one defeat came in The Ultimate Fighter 27. Five of his 6 UFC victories were by decision, but Mitchell has a 1st-round submission win over Matt Sayles under his belt as well. Mitchell has not yet won or lost a fight by KO/TKO.

Topuria, the No. 14 ranked featherweight, is 12-0 with a 4-0 UFC record. His last 3 fights have been KOs — 2 in the 1st round and 1 in the 2nd. Topuria has also won 7 fights by submission, although none of those came in the UFC. His last victory — against Jai Herbert at UFC Fight Night in March — was a lightweight bout, making this a quick return back to featherweight for Topuria.

UFC 282: Bryce Mitchell vs. Ilia Topuria picks and predictions

Records: Mitchell (15-1) | Topuria (12-0)

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

Topuria is a bit stronger and more sound of a striker than Mitchell with 2.87 significant strikes landed per minute to Mitchell’s 2.28. Mitchell should try to keep this one on the ground and obtain a submission or decision finish.

The issue with that is Topuria has proven that he can hold his own on the mat and escape takedowns. He will try to stand this fight back up and outwork Mitchell on their feet whereas Topuria has been able to find holes in his opponent’s game quickly enough to snag a KO/TKO for 3 fights in a row.

BET TOPURIA (-150).

Over/Under (O/U)

This is a tough bet because it depends on how many opportunities Mitchell gives Topuria to stand this fight up instead of keeping it on the ground. If Mitchell goes for the decision this could go all 3 rounds. Topuria will try to go for a finish, though, and only 1 of his 12 fights has made it past the 2nd round.

LEAN UNDER 2.5 ROUNDS (-103).
