New England Patriots +1 at Cincinnati Bengals -1. Game Total: 45

New England is 15-5-2 ATS in its last 22 games on the road, and they looked really good against the Falcons on Sunday Night.

Tom Brady is beginning to trust his receivers and is finding chemistry with WR Kenbrell Thompkins.  The defense is playing good against the pass, and it showed when they made Matt Ryan loo bad last week.

The Bengals are not a team you want to trust as they just lost against the Browns in an awful showing.  Quarterback Andy Dalton threw for 206 yards but didn’t score and was intercepted once.

Despite New England is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Cincinnati, they are the best team for Sunday.

NFL Picks: Patriots +1.

New Orleans Saints +1 at Chicago Bears -1. Game Total: 48

The Saints looked unstoppable on Monday night with Drews Brees throwing 413 yards and four touchdowns in the win over the Dolphins.  However, the Bears defense could find a way to disrupt their passing game.

New Orleans is 2-3-1 ATS in its last 6 games when playing on the road against Chicago. The Bears are 1-5-2 ATS in its last 8 games at home; so according to trends is anyone’s games.

Lions quarterback threw for 242 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Detriot’s win over Chicago; his numbers weren’t great, but his offense still put 40 points on them.

The game will be close, but the Saints should stay undefeated.

NFL Picks: Saints +1

Denver Broncos -7 at Dallas Cowboys +7. Game Total: 55.5

The Broncos have the most prolific offense the NFL has seen in years, with Peyton Manning throwing 16 touchdowns in the first four weeks of the season.

Dallas defense is 27th against the pass allowing more than 300 yards per game.  They don’t have the personnel to stop Manning.

All of the Broncos games have ended OVER the total this season, and this week against the Cowboys won’t be any difference.

NFL Picks: Bet the OVER.

Houston Texans +7 at San Francisco 49rs -7. Game Total: 42.5

The 49ers still have issues; don’t let the win over the horrible Rams fools you.  They have too many injuries, and their defensive line is not as dominant as it used to be, especially without LB Aldon Smith in the lineup.

The Texans are a good team with bad losses. However, they can still run the ball and move the sticks, which should be enough to keep this game close.  The value is betting the points here.

NFL Picks: Texans +7.

Monday night

NY Jets +8.5 at Atlanta Falcons -8.5. Game Total: 44

The Jets are horrible, and their QB carrousel is just starting. Head Coach Rex Ryan doesn’t ‘love’ what Geno Smith brings to the table, and I won’t be surprise if Matt Sims starts against the Falcons.

NY Jets are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games when playing Atlanta.

NFL Picks: Falcons -7.
