That ended after oddsmakers caught onto the trend and as NFL betting games began to even out.
Thursday Night Football Week 1 Predictions
THURS, SEP 7
Kansas City Chiefs vs. New England Patriots ATS Picks
You'll be hard-pressed to find a legitimate NFL pundit out there who believes that any team aside from New England is the deserving favorite to win the Super Bowl. As the offseason has worn on, the Patriots have become bigger and bigger favorites. They were the +500 choices of the oddsmakers the day after their Super Bowl triumph, and they're set to open up the season at a tick worse than 3 to 1. >>> Read More
Thursday Night Week 2 Predictions
THURS, SEP 14
Texans vs. Bengals ATS Picks
Tom Savage was anointed the Texans starting quarterback heading into their Week 3 preseason tilt against the New Orleans Saints. If had the chance to make that decision all over again, I’m sure O’Brien would have chosen differently. Savage was awful last Sunday against Jacksonville’s defense in completing 7 of 13 passes for 62 yards and fumbling twice. One of which was scooped up and returned for a 53 yard touchdown. >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 3 Predictions
THURS, SEP 21
Rams vs. 49ers ATS Picks
The betting public clearly overreacted to Week 1’s all-out demolition of Indianapolis. The Colts are a bad football team, and it showed with the defense having a field day and Jared Goff having a career day. When the line closed for Sunday’s tilt against the Redskins, Los Angeles found itself bet up to a field goal favorite. It then proceeded to fall into a 13-0 hole at the start of the second quarter. But instead of giving up and taking its ball back home, LA fought back to tie the game on two occasions. >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 4 Predictions
THURS, SEP 28
Bears vs. Packers ATS Picks
In one of the more surprising end results of the Week 3 slate, the Bears pulled out a 23-17 overtime win to log the first triumph of the campaign. After Mike Glennon was picked off twice last week in Tampa Bay, offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains made kept the pressure off his QB1 by making a conscious effort to look to his ground game. Some might say he ran it into the ground after he called Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen’s number a combined 35 times. >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 5 Predictions
THURS, OCT 05
Patriots vs. Buccaneers ATS Picks
The Cardinals went into last week’s game against the Rams +165 underdogs to win the NFC West. They sat only behind the Seahawks in the pecking order, but after losing 17-13 in shocking fashion as 10 point favorites, Arizona now brings up the rear of the division and has a ton of work to do if it’s to not allow the season to get away from them. >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 6 Predictions
THURS, OCT 12
Eagles vs. Panthers ATS Picks
The Eagles opened the season as +3623 choices to win Super Bowl LII and +325 choices to win the NFC East. Before taking Arizona out behind the woodshed and serving up a proverbial beating last Sunday, Doug Pederson’s squad checked in at +1850 to win the big game and the -129 odds on favorites to win the division. After moving to 4-1 straight up and against the spread, those offerings are sure to get shorter once rereleased. >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 7 Predictions
THURS, OCT 19
Chiefs vs. Raiders ATS Picks
The hope for the Chiefs is that their first half last week against the Steelers was an aberration. Alex Smith and company had -21 yards in the first half versus the team that ended their season. For a team that still ranks No. 2 in the NFL in total offense at 387.0 yards per game and is No. 3 in scoring, you have to think that this was a flash in the pan. >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 8 Predictions
THURS, OCT 26
Dolphins vs. Ravens ATS Picks
The Dolphins are likely going to be on their third starting quarterback by the time this one kicks off. Jay Cutler broke two ribs last Sunday against the Jets, leaving Adam Gase back in the same spot he was in when Tannehill was first injured. Like it or not, Matt Moore is set to be Miami's starting quarterback this week, and perhaps for a couple weeks with Cutler hurting. Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 9 Predictions
THURS, NOV 2
NFL Bills vs. Jets ATS Picks
Sean McDermott’s squad continues to be one of the biggest surprise teams in the NFL this season. After scoring a thrilling comeback victory over Tampa Bay out of the bye, the Bills laid the smack down this past Sunday on an unsuspecting Oakland Raiders outfit that thought it has turned its season around with an unbelievable comeback win of their own the week prior. That hardly turned out to be the case. >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 10 Predictions
THURS, NOV 9
NFL Seahawks vs. Cardinals ATS Picks
The Seahawks fell into a late hole the previous week against the Houston Texans, but lived to tell about it due to Russell Wilson’s late game heroics. Pete Carroll’s squad did the same exact thing last Sunday at home versus Washington, but this time around, there was no miraculous comeback. While Seattle has put forth some impressive efforts, there’s still some ghosts in the machine. >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 11 Predictions
THURS, NOV 16
Titans vs. Steelers ATS Picks
It's hard to really see how Pittsburgh has gotten to 7-2 this year. Its defense has had far too many lapses against bad teams (we're looking at you, Jacksonville and Chicago), and its offense has yet to score 30 points in a game this season. Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell are awesome, but until JuJu Smith-Schuster and/or Martavis Bryant come into consistent form, this will always be an easy offense to game plan for. >>> Read More
Thanksgiving Thursday Night NFL Week 12 Predictions
THURS, NOV 23
Giants vs. Redskins ATS Picks
Week 11 was a bizarre one for sure across the NFL, and the Giants and Redskins were right in the middle of it all. Washington looked like it was going to save its season on the road against New Orleans last week. The Redskins were game throughout, and they really should have put things away with a 31-16 lead and less than four minutes left to play. Instead, Drew Brees happened, as he led the Saints on two straight touchdown drives to send the game into overtime then won it in the extra frame on a field goal. >>> Read More
Thursday NFL games Week 13 Picks
THURS, NOV 30
Redskins vs. Cowboys ATS Picks
Apparently, Jerry Jones was right to really be worrying about Ezekiel Elliott. You don't normally think that missing a running back is going to be the end of the world, but the Cowboys are 0-3 without Zeke in the lineup, and they've scored a total of just 22 points in that stretch. >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 14 Predictions
THURS, DEC 7
Saints vs. Falcons ATS Picks
Even though New Orleans holds a two-game advantage on Atlanta, the Falcons are still in reasonable shape since these two teams play each other twice in the next three weeks. The pressure is still on at both ends of the table knowing that the Saints could just as easily get the No. 1 seed in the playoffs (since they're only a game back of the Eagles and Vikings now) as they could fall out of the playoffs entire (with just a two-game cushion on the Falcons, the first team on the outside of the playoffs heading into Week 14). >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 15 Predictions
THURS, DEC 14
Broncos vs. Colts ATS Picks
The Broncos' 23-0 win over the Jets last week had to be maddening for their fans. It was proof that this team has always been capable of something special in a 4-9 campaign. >>> Read More
Thursday Night NFL Week 16 Predictions
THURS, DEC 21
Giants vs. Eagles ATS Picks
There was no letdown suffered by the Giants last week after snapping the Cowboys win streak and sweeping the season series to solidify their standing in the playoff picture the previous week. While it was far from pretty, Ben McAdoo’s squad leaned heavily on its defense and got just enough from the offense to pull out the 17-6 home win and cover as 4 point favorites. >>> Read More
