There’s always one week at the end of the season when things get turned upside down when it comes to gambling. Hot teams cool off for no apparent reason. Teams that are left for dead try for some reason. Let’s just say that type of week could be the 15th session of the NFL season.
As usual, the home teams are in CAPS, and we are using Bet MGM for our odds. Games will be listed at -110 unless denoted otherwise.

Don’t get confident. We were on fire with a bunch of big weeks followed by a great Thanksgiving and then went 1-5 in Week 13. That’s the opposite of good. So it’s time to go back to basics. Hit some home underdogs. Take some unders. Moneyline an obvious favorite here or there.

It’s important to not lose faith when picking games. Slow starts exist for a reason. This year, underdogs were covering like crazy to start the year. There’s been a bit of a correction. That’s why we are finally over .500 for the first time this season. It only took 12 weeks to slog through the losses and the upsets, but we are back after two 7-2 weeks in a row.
One of the reasons we got here is an addiction to unders. Everyone wants to bet the over when it comes to totals. Overs are fun because points are fun. Finding that right under can be just as fun. It’s weird not cheering for points but once you get on the under train, it’s hard to get off. It’s important to note that sharps normally bet unders — and underdogs — because the public goes the other way. Follow the sharps.
Let’s get to Week 12. Home teams in CAPS, and we are using Bet MGM for our odds. Games will be listed at -110 unless denoted otherwise.
