Las Vegas - Looking at the Titans/Bengals and we can tell you that the only team in the AFC that has scored fewer points than Tennessee (227) is New England (221). And they only average 14.5 points per game at home. The Bengals will have more than that by halftime. Unfortunately, Cincy is gonna be watching the playoffs at home or on the golf course, but it looks like Burrow and Chase are on a mission. The Bengals are also a MUCH better team on the road (4-3), than at home (1-5). Gimme the Js, Joe and Ja'Marr for the money.

Move to the Cowboys/Panthers. Cooper Rush was respectable, hitting on 16 of 31 for 183 yards and 2 TDs. But the REALLY good news came from RB Rico Dowdle who gobbled up 131 yards against Cincy. Dallas is STILL in it to win it. They will also be watching the playoffs at home, but the Cowboys will make sweet music down in Charlotte with an easy breezy W.

Apparently, someone still believes in Aaron Rodgers and it's the oddsmakers here in Vegas. WHY? He had his best game this past week against the Dolphins, hitting on 27 of 39 (69.2%) for 339 yards with 1 TD and no INTs. Everyone that reads these words from Ecks keyboard knows New York is my heart & soul. So, while this not my 'Pick of the Century,' actually have NEVER EVER and NEVER WILL have a 'Pick of the Century,' we do lean Green. And if you shop around carefully, you can find a flat -3 at a few shops.

Okay, so maybe I'm an idiot, maybe the caffeine jolt from my morning coffee didn't hit yet, or maybe I need a new pair of glasses. Burrow Over 1.5 passing TDs at FanDuel might be the BEST BET on the board this century. Only kidding, but Joe Brrr has been on fire, or as Dan Patrick used to say, EN FUEGO! We are all looking at the same numbers right? Joe Cool has passed for 5, 4, 3, 3 and 3 TDs in his last five games. That's 18 TDs, which my calculator tells me is an average of THREE + per game. Over 1.5 will be a YUGE deposit into the Bank of Ecks!
