RAMS @ PACKERS SIDE

The Los Angeles Rams have had an extra week to heal up and regroup from back-to-back blowout losses. In their last game, the Rams took a 31-10 loss at San Francisco. They are 7-1-2 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game and 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss.

Packers' star QB Aaron Rodgers is reportedly in 'a lot of pain' after suffering a toe injury in last Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. "It's going to be another painful week next week," Rodgers said. "And then hopefully feel better over the bye." Here Rodgers will face a Rams defense that ranks third in the NFL with 2.9 sacks per game. 

Edit: Aaron Rodgers did not practice Friday, making him a nonparticipant all week. I think the Rams' defense will make it extremely difficult for Packers to move the ball. 

8* play on UNDER. 

TITANS @ PATRIOTS SIDE

The Pats defense has been excellent in recent weeks, with 6, 7, and 0 points allowed through their last three games. They now own the best scoring defense in the NFL with only 16.1 points allowed per game. 

Under is 5-1 in Patriots last 6 games in November, and here they'll host a dinged up Tennessee team that will be without its biggest threat in injured running back Derrick Henry. The Titans are averaging only 253.3 passing yards per game and they put up only 13 points in a home loss to Houston last week.

I do however think that the Titans can keep it close as the Pats offense could come out flat following three straight blowout wins. Road favorites of more than a field goal are only 5-10 ATS as following three straight wins by at least 15 points dating back to the start of the 2015 season.

Mike Lundin's Jets vs. Texans Free Pick November 28, 2021

The Houston Texans and the New York Jets are coming into Week 12 with identical 2-8 records straight up. I think Houston has a pretty big edge in this matchup though, and a big reason is their home-field advantage. 

The Jets are 0-5 against the spread away from home this season while the Texans are 2-1-1 ATS in their home games. 

Additionally, while the Jets' defense has been particularly atrocious in recent weeks, note that the Texans have allowed a total of only 30 points through their last two games and they took down AFC South leader Tennessee last week. 

Free pick on Houston Texans.

SUNDAY NIGHT CBB TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER

The Villanova Wildcats are 4-1 to the over while averaging a healthy 82.6 points per game, but I think the oddsmakers are giving us too high of a total here for Sunday's matchup with La Salle. I think the No. 7-ranked Wildcats will take this opportunity to focus on defense, especially following a sloppy performance in a loss at Purdue last time out. La Salle meanwhile will be looking to build on a solid defensive outing against Army in its last game, where it held the Black Knights to 58 points on 19-of-69 (31%) shooting.

NBA BIG BET ALERT - MIKE'S WESTERN CONF GAME OF THE MONTH (SIDE)

The Golden State Warriors are 17-2 SU and 14-4-1 against the spread on the season. They have the best scoring defense in the league with only 100.9 points allowed per game on average, and the Clippers are averaging only 106.0 points per game. The Clippers have lost three of their last five straight up, despite closing as favorites in each game. In their last game, the Clippers defeated Detroit 107-96 but they are only 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

WARRIORS @ CLIPPERS TOTAL

The Golden State Warriors are 17-2 SU and 14-4-1 against the spread on the season. They have the best scoring defense in the league with only 100.9 points allowed per game on average, and the Clippers are averaging only 106.0 points per game. The Clippers have lost three of their last five straight up, despite closing as favorites in each game. In their last game, the Clippers defeated Detroit 107-96 but they are only 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

Under is 5-1 in Warriors last 6 games as a road favorite. Under is 4-1 in Clippers last 5 home games.

BUCKS @ PACERS SIDE

The reigning NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks are rolling, coming into this contest on a six-game winning streak and covering the spread in three straight games. They are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings with the Pacers, who while they've also been playing well lately, are unlikely to keep this one within the number. 

8* play on Milwaukee Bucks. 

STEELERS @ BENGALS SIDE

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 15-6-2 against the spread as underdogs in divisional games under Mike Tomlin. The Cincinnati Bengals are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite and in a potential flat spot after defeating the Raiders in Las Vegas by 19 points last week. 

8* play on Pittsburgh Steelers. 

BUCS @ COLTS SIDE

Good spot to fade the Indianapolis Colts who are likely to come out flat here following three straight wins a 41-15 upset at Buffalo last week included. The Colts are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog, and they'll host a Bucs team that is looking to build momentum after snapping a two-game losing streak with a dominant win against the Jets last time out. 

8* play on Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

SUPER EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON NFL BOOKIE BU$TER TOTAL 

The Carolina Panthers have the No. 2 scoring defense in the NFL and they rank No. 1 against the pass. Miami ranks 31st in the league with only 77.4 rushing yards per game, so I doubt the home team will put up many points in this one. As for the Dolphins' defense, it has been playing well over the last three weeks, allowing only 9, 10, and 17 points. 

Under is 7-1 in the Panthers' last 8 games as a road favorite. Under is 5-2 in the Dolphins' last 7 games as a home underdog.
