Taking TAMPA BAY, again FIRST HALF.. -6.5. Like Rodgers as our Top Play last week over Fields, we will take Brady vs the rookie. If the Bears do mount any kind of offensive attack, it will be late in the game. I think TB should win and cover both spots either way. This Chicago defense is decent, but the offense has major concerns. Brady lost to Bears last year - has gone 17-4 since leading Tampa. Back to Bears offense. Scored 14 or less in 3 of 6 games. 34-14 AT Rams. 26-6 AT Browns. 24-14 vs Packers. So on the road vs 2 playoff teams. 20 points. Allowing 60. Last we Tampa, they were letting Philly score 15 unanswered on a Thursday night. Extra rest. Revenge. Offense problems with a rookie HC. Take TAMPA BAY 4* Money Maker 

Taking the RAMS FH -8.5 here. Should have grabbed them at 13 when the line first opened, waited like a dummy and it is now 16. But 1st half. Let's get it. Lions shut out in 3 of their last 4 games in the first half. Add in the QB switch - the Rams HC despising his old QB. I think we have a blowout brewing. 5* Best Bet LA RAMS First Half 

Taking the GIANTS. If ever a team was in a 'must win' mode, NYG is in it. Injuries. Bad play. Turnovers. Just a hot mess. The team is a MASH unit. Who knows who is even suiting up. Barkley?  WRs? Doesn't matter. This is make or break time for Danny 'Dimes', oops, I mean, Danny Turnover Machine. Joe Judge is on his way out if this team does not win today. He might not get fired after this game, but if they lose here, he is done this season. Carolina, even with a HC who I really like, is still missing its best player in CMC. And - Sam Darnold, yes that Sam Darnold, is back in the Meadowlands, as a favorite! So he looked good beating his old club, them NO who his DCOs know well. Then his team beats Davis Mills. But hello, Dallas. Heck, they should have beaten Hurts and the Eagles, but the team couldn't. Somehow the forced OT last week. But honestly, besides showing some fight against Minny, you want me to have faith with this guy leading the charge. Now the Giants are far from the Cowboys or Vikings. But this is really a 'circle the wagons' game for them. 1-5 on the year, and can turn into a 3-15 season in 60 minutes tomorrow. I'm taking the 3 and grabbing some +120 ML. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK GIANTS 

4* Total Money UNDER Carolina/ Giants

Taking the PACKERS. Now. At 9.5/10 points on the opener, I would be more inclined to take Washington. GB in off win over rival Bears. Huge short week Thursday game on deck vs Cardinals. But sitting at 7.5, I will grab the Packers here. And look at this scheduling spot. Back to back road games - Cincy and Bears. They beat Pitt here 27-17, before that, road game in SF. Next up-trips to Arizona and Kansas City. At least they have home games when the weather turns to a clear edge for them. I have to think they the move down is a reflection of that. On the road 5 of 6 weeks is tough. Guessing most guys have families and such that need addressing. But also. They are home. The fans. The field. They don't want to lay an egg here. They need wins. A tough pair of games up next. Washington looks like a team in complete disarray. So yeah, at 10, maybe WFT gets a look. Now at 7.5, I think GB is talented enough on offense to pull away here. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS 

4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

Taking the FALCONS. Atlanta in off their bye week after playing Jets in London. Miami, back home from London, gets a game. Bad spot for the Dolphins. Value play for me. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS
