  • Carr, Raiders rally past Texans 27-20
    November 21, 2016


    MEXICO CITY (AP) The party in the stands started early in the second NFL regular season game ever played in Mexico with loud cheers and chants from before kickoff until the final whistle. The Oakland offense took a little longer to get going, but once they did Derek Carr and the Raiders came out with yet another win.

    Carr woke up a struggling offense by throwing two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter as the Raiders capped a successful trip to Mexico with a 27-20 victory over the Houston Texans on Monday night.

    ''We got punched in the mouth,'' Carr said. ''We weren't doing things the way we usually want to do things executing wise. But there was no doubt in anybody's mind that we'd come back and win the football game.''

    Oakland had been held to 120 yards through three quarters with the running game going nowhere and Carr finding few open receivers downfield. But that suddenly changed in the fourth quarter to give the Raiders (8-2) their fourth straight win for the first time since 2002 .

    With star receiver Amari Cooper lined up in the backfield, Carr found fullback Jamize Olawale open for a 75-yard catch and run that tied Houston (6-4) at 20.

    ''We felt like that was the momentum shifter,'' Cooper said.

    Then Oakland took advantage on two questionable spots by the officials to take over on downs at the 15 and drove 85 yards in five plays to take the lead on a 35-yard pass to Cooper to send the Texans to their fourth loss in five games outside of Houston.

    ''Very tough loss,'' defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney said. ''We should have won the game, we are trying to win every game. You don't leave the game in the ref's hands.''

    That set off loud celebrations from the pro-Raiders crowd of 76,743 in the second regular season game ever played in Mexico. What was originally scheduled as an Oakland home game featured Raiders music during stoppages, Tommie Smith lighting the Al Davis torch in a memorable return to Mexico City nearly a half-century after his Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics and frequent ''RAI-DERS!'' chants.

    While the atmosphere was electric, the field was a bit slippery leading to some falls and the high elevation 7,380 feet above sea level played a factor. The Raiders needed to use a timeout on defense at one point in the fourth to catch their breath and receiver Michael Crabtree was seen gasping for breath at one point.

    ''To be able to play here was amazing,'' Carr said. ''There's so much history, so much rowdiness. I love soccer and it gave me a kind of soccer feel.''

    CLOSE SPOTS: The Texans were upset on two spots on the fourth-quarter drive before Oakland went ahead. On third-and-2, Lamar Miller was stopped just short of the first down even though Houston believed he got it. Coach Bill O'Brien went for it on fourth down but Akeem Hunt was stopped about an inch short on fourth down and the play stood after a replay challenge.

    LASER SHOW: Houston QB Brock Osweiler had to deal with an unusual distraction during the game as a fan with a green laser frequently shined it on the Houston quarterback as he dropped back to pass in an act more familiar in soccer games played here than in NFL games. That wasn't the only soccer tradition imported for this game. Fans also used a homophobic chant on kickoffs. Mexico's soccer federation has been punished by FIFA in the past for the chant during World Cup qualifiers. Fans threw paper airplanes on the field in the third quarter with Oakland's Sean Smith taking a turn throwing one that reached the field during a break.

    STREAK BROKEN: Carr had thrown 170 straight passes without an interception before getting picked by A.J. Bouye on a deep ball on the first play from scrimmage in the second half. It was Carr's fourth interception of the season and the first since Kansas City's Marcus Peters got one Oct. 16.

    INTERNATIONAL SCORER: With his extra point in the second quarter, Oakland's Sebastian Janikowski scored a point in his third country, having previously done it in the United States and United Kingdom. Joe Nedney is the only other player to score in Mexico, the U.S. and the U.K. Five other players have scored in Canada, the U.K. and the U.S.: running back Steven Jackson and kickers Robbie Gould, Matt Bryant, Dan Carpenter and Jay Feely.

      • Tuesday’s six-pack

        Six interesting college basketball scores from Monday:

        — Wisconsin 74, Tennessee 62- Badgers were up 17 early; Vols caught up early in second half, went head for a while, but the more veteran team prevailed.

        — Northwestern 77, Texas 58– Could be a huge win for Wildcats, who have never been in NCAA tournament.

        — Bucknell 75, Vanderbilt 72— Oy. Bryce Drew’s old team (Valparaiso) is better than his new one (Vandy). Could be a long winter in Nashville.

        — Creighton 86, Ole Miss 77— High-octane Bluejays win Paradise Jam.

        — Oklahoma State 98, UConn 90— Brad Underwood is a really good coach. UConn is 1-3.

        — Winthrop 84, Illinois 80 OT— Losses like this get coaches fired.

        Tuesday’s List of 13: Nobody asked me, but……

        13) Watching the Maui Classic Monday, got to hear Bill Walton do two games, along with Roxy Bernstein on ESPN2. Walton is a classic, a true original. Here is a partial list of the things he was discussing during the Tennessee-Wisconsin and Oregon-Georgetown games:

        — Scrabble
        — Grateful Dead and his love of music
        — the Dakota Pipeline (Roxy got him off this subject pretty quickly)
        — Banana bread
        — the world record for amount of time holding your breath (24 minutes?)
        — the origin of Georgetown’s mascot (Hoya)
        — Davey Crockett (he is from Tennessee)

        Walton does a lot of prep; I learn something new every time I listen to him, just that often it has zero to do with basketball. He is upbeat and fun to listen to.

        12) Get well soon to Arizona Cardinals’ coach Bruce Arians, who was hospitalized Monday with chest pains. Original prognosis was apparently positive; hopefully he’ll be back on the sidelines very soon.

        11) NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets have a player named Matt Calvert, who got 36 stitches in his face during a game with the Rangers last week. Mr Calvert got his stitches, came back into the game and wound up scoring the game-winning goal. Hockey players are tough.

        10) Ryan Fitzpatrick is back at QB for the Jets this week; they play New England Sunday, in a game that was supposed to the Sunday night game until NBC flexed out of it and into the Chiefs-Broncos game.

        9) LSU has to hire a football coach soon; Les Miles leaves big shoes to fill, but rumors are out there that big-name candidates are shying away from LSU, because AD Joe Alleva has a bad rap amongst coaches and administrators. People are hesitant to work for a guy who fired a coach with a record as good as Miles has.

        8) Bears QB Jay Cutler may be out for the year with a shoulder issue; Matt Barkley is the backup right now— he’s played in five NFL games, but has never started one.

        7) Quick basketball story: Long time ago I’m watching a high school basketball tournament with some friends; this is the first night of the tournament. Best player on the team that is losing gets his layup blocked, and he goes down in a heap, pounding the floor in pain. Three people carry him off and help him to the locker room.

        One of my friends speaks up: “He isn’t hurt; his pride is hurt. He was getting his ass kicked and didn’t want to play anymore.” It was a bold statement bordering on rude, but we’re there again the next night, and the kid is out there against a lousy team, scores 30 points without a limp.

        My friend was right; the kid had begged out of the game the first night. Go figure.

        6) UCLA’s football team is not having a great year, in part because they had eight kids drafted by the NFL in April, the most Bruins picked in one draft since 1988.

        5) Jim Grobe is the Interim football coach at Baylor this year, where one of the two best players they’ve had is Robert Griffin III. It is ironical that RGIII’s first game at Baylor was against Wake Forest, where the coach at the time was……Jim Grobe.

        4) Mexico City is twice as big a city as Houston and Oakland….combined.

        3) West Virginia got spanked at home by Oklahoma Saturday, but RB Justin Crawford ran ball 24 times for 330 yards, creating 11 missed tackles. He also fumbled near the goal line, which hurt West Virginia when they still had a chance to win, but 13.8 yds/carry is damn good.

        2) FS1 (channel 219 on DirecTV) mainly televises just Big East basketball, which means you get to see a lot of low or mid-majors from now until Christmas, since Big East teams mostly take it easy with their pre-conference schedules.

        It is fun to watch how low-major teams who are usually getting whacked use the game as an education, calling timeouts to teach certain situations; that’ll hopefully pay off for them when their conference play starts in January. But there are other reasons these games are played, too……

        1) Speaking of which, I may not have these numbers exactly right, but if not I’m close; I got into a Twitter dialogue about this with ESPN’s Seth Greenberg last year.

        Long Beach State pays basketball coach Dan Molson roughly $200K a year, but he actually makes around $600K, lot of money for a guy who has taken the 49ers to one NCAA tourney in his nine years in Long Beach. Where does the extra $400K come from?

        Here are Long Beach State’s first five D-I games this season, all on the road, all coming with sizable guarantee checks attached: Wichita State-North Carolina-Louisville-UCLA-Washington. The extra $400K comes out of the guarantee money Long Beach gets for playing these games.

        Long Beach has lost the first four of those this month, allowing 96.8 pts per game, with 26 points the closest loss of the four. Wonder what the players think about getting their butts kicked, just so their coach can fatten his bank account?

          Redskins (6-3-1) @ Cowboys (9-1)— Two hot teams; Washington is 6-1-1 in last eight games, Dallas has won/covered nine straight games. Really short week for Redskins, who have long road trip, plus they played Sunday NIGHT.

Underdogs are 4-2 vs spread in NFC East divisional games. Over is 4-1 in last five Redskin games, 2-5 in last seven Dallas games.

          Steelers (5-5) @ Colts (5-5)— Colt QB Luck had concussion in win over Titans; check status for this game; his backup is Tolzien (0-1-1 as NFL starter, with ’13 Packers). Pitt is 13-2 in last 15 series games, winning last two 51-34/45-10; they outgained Colts 522-240 in LY’s game. Steelers won three of last four visits here, but last one was in 2011. Pitt snapped 4-game skid with lackluster 24-9 win in Cleveland; they’re 2-3 on road, with losses by 31-15-7 points. Only one of 10 Steeler games was decided by less than 7 points. Indy won three of last four games, is 3-2 at home, 2-2-1 vs spread as an underdog this year. NFC North teams are 8-18 vs spread in non-divisional games, 4-10 on road. AFC South teams are 13-14 vs spread, 7-7 at home. Steelers allowed 16 or less points in their wins, 21+ in their losses.

          Titans (5-6) @ Bears (2-8)— Chicago QB Cutler hurt shoulder Sunday, may be out for year; check status- former Eagle/Cardinal/USC Barkley is backup QB (65 PA in five games, no starts). Bears were outscored 32-0 in second half of last two games, 59-14 in last four; they’re 2-2 at home, beating rivals Lions/Vikings- they’re 3-4 vs spread as an underdog. Tennessee has their bye next week, could be little tired; they’re 2-3 on road, 3-1-1 as road favorite last four years (0-0 this year). Home side lost last four series games; Titans are 3-2 here, but last visit was in ’08. AFC South teams are 5-7 vs spread in non-divisional road games.

            Steelers (-9) at Browns, 24-9
            Cowboys (-7) vs. Ravens, 27-17

            Road Bucs

            -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers posted another road win and cover against the Kansas City Chiefs, improving to 4-1 SU/ATS away from home, while managing a 1-4 SU/ATS mark at Raymond James Stadium. Unfortunately for the Bucs they're back home in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are 2-2-1 SU/3-2 ATS away from the 12th Man and Pacific Northwest so far this season.

            Miami Nice

            -- The Miami Dolphins stayed out on the west coast after their win last week in San Diego, acclimating themselves. They slipped behind 10-0 against the Los Angeles Rams, but rallied for the 14-10 victory against rookie QB Jared Goff in his NFL debut. The Dolphins have won five straight games since a 1-4 SU/ATS start, and they're 4-0-1 ATS during the win streak. The Dolphins also improved to 3-0 ATS in the Pacific Time Zone.
            Total Recall

            -- The 'over' has been dominant this season, but Week 11 was a low-scoring week of action with the 'under' hitting in 11 of 13 games heading into the Monday night game between Houston Texans-Oakland Raiders at Estadia Azteca in Ciudad de Mexico. In three AFC battles (with one remaining), the 'under' was a perfect 3-0. In five games between NFC foes the 'under' ended up 3-2. In five games featuring AFC vs. NFC teams the 'under' was a perfect 5-0. Through the first 11 weeks of NFL action the 'over' is 82-76 (51.9%).

            -- The two games with totals under 40 points ended up splitting 1-1 in the 'over/under'. The Arizona-Minnesota (39.5) ended up going 'over' with 54 points, helped out by two defensive/special teams scored by the Vikings on plays over 100 yards each. The lowest total of the week was in the Miami-Los Angeles game, and the 'over' was never threatened. There were just 10 total points through the first three quarters in the uncharacteristic rains of Southern California.

            -- There were three games with totals of 51 or more points, and all three games ended up going 'under'. The Tennessee-Indianapolis game had 28 points at halftime, and it appeared the 'over' was on its way. Defense suddenly took over and there were just one touchdown in the third quarter and two field goals in the fourth quarter.

            -- The 'over/under' was 1-1 in two primetime games leading up to the International Series game between the Texans and Raiders (45) Monday night. Officially, the 'over' is 16-17 (48.4%) through 33 games under the lights. In 2015, the over finished 20-28-1 (41.7%) in 49 primetime games. In 2014, the over went 33-17 (66%) in primetime games, and the over was 28-22 (56%) in 2013.

            Injury Report

            -- Bengals WR A.J. Green (hamstring) suffered what is believed to be a significant hamstring tear, and he is likely to miss the remainder of the season. To make matters worse, RB Giovani Bernard (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and he will miss the remainder of the season as well.

            -- Bills RB LeSean McCoy (thumb) left the game in Cincinnati due to a thumb injury and he was unable to return. It turned out to be a dislocation which will require surgery.

            -- Eagles RB Ryan Mathews (knee) was in a brace and limping after suffering a medial collateral ligament injury in the loss in Seattle. RB Darren Sproles (ribs) was also forced out early due to an injury to his ribs, leaving the running back duties in the hands of rookie Wendell Smallwood and Kenjon Barner.

            -- Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise (shoulder) was forced out due to what was termed a "significant scapula" injury, and he is expected to miss time. The team did welcome back RB Thomas Rawls (leg) from a lengthy injury.

            Looking Ahead

            -- The Vikings and Lions do battle on Thanksgiving in the early game, and Minnesota is looking for revenge after a 22-16 overtime loss at home when Golden Tate found the end zone midway through the extra session. The Lions are 3-2 SU in their past five home games at Ford Field against the Vikings, but just 1-4 ATS during the span. The 'under' has cashed in five of the past five meetings in this series.

            -- Detroit has won each of their past three games on Thanksgiving, and they have covered four in a row on the holiday. The 'over' is also 4-0 in the past four Thanksgiving games for the Lions, and 5-1 in their past six.

            -- The Redskins and Cowboys renew acquaintances in Big D in the mid-afternoon Thanksgiving game. The Cowboys won 27-23 in the nation's capital in Week 2, winning and covering with an 'over' result. The Cowboys have won and covered in three of the past four with three 'over' results. However, in their past eight home games against Washington the Cowboys are 4-4 SU and 1-7 ATS.

            -- Dallas has won just two of their past six games on Thanksgiving, including a 38-31 loss Nov. 22, 2012 against the Redskins. The Cowboys have failed to cover in five straight Thanksgiving games while the 'over' has connected in three of the past four, and four of the past six on the holiday.

            -- The Jets host the Patriots, and it is usually a high-scoring affair when the two AFC East rivals get together. While the Jets are just 2-8 SU in the past 10 matchups, they are 5-0-1 ATS over the past six meetings and 10-5-1 ATS over the past 16. In the past six meetings in the Meadowlands, the Jets are 3-3 SU and 4-2 ATS, including 3-0 ATS in the past three. The 'over' is 5-1 in the past six in New Jersey, and 11-2 in the past 13 meetings overall in this series.

            • Bettors strike back in Week 11
              November 21, 2016

              One week after getting pummeled by Las Vegas sports books, bettors came back reloaded and strong for Sunday's NFL Week 11 action as all their favorite betting teams came through with covers and the result was cashing huge amounts of four and five-team parlays. The Sports Books just can't recover from 20-to-1 payouts all day, and they didn't as the Sunday night outcome between the Redskins and Packers stopped the bleeding.

              William Hill's 108 sports books across Nevada reported Sunday morning their top four one-sided bet games were the Steelers (93%), Seahawks (83%), Dolphins (81%) and Patriots (80%) and all four covered the spread. The only reason their weekly favorite, the Cowboys, didn't rank high was because sharp action evened the cash pool on that game.

              But as far as the average Joe goes with his parlay, he had the Cowboys laying -7 at home against the No. 1 ranked defense of the Ravens, and he was right with a 27-17 win. It was the ninth straight cover for the Cowboys, and depending on what number he got in Week 1 with the Cowboys 20-19 loss to the Giants, it's possible he's covered all 10 games this season with Dallas.

              "If the Packers and Raiders come in, we may have to close," joked William Hill's top bookmaker Nick Bogdanovich prior to the Sunday night kickoff after favorites had gone 8-3 ATS on the day, including the final three afternoon games that produced several more 6-to-1 parlay payouts.

              Those final three games capped a great day for bettors, including the sharps that took +14, +13.5 and +13 early in the week with the 49ers at home against the Patriots. By the weekend most books were dealing -12 or -12.5, which is when most bettors make their parlay wagers. Wouldn't you know it, the Patriots win 30-17. Sharps cash on the dog, and so did the masses with the favorite helping the books get middled.

              The Patriots game also produced a four-way 6-point teaser win when including the total. The spreads were so close to the actual results that eight of the first 11 games produced an all-side teaser win for bettors. No matter which side you chose, you came out a winner in that betting option, which is part of the reason NFL two-team teasers are the best value of any casino proposition offered. You had to really try hard to lose a two-team teaser on Sunday.

              The books had one big savior on the day.

              "Tampa Bay winning at Kansas City was by far our biggest winner," said MGM Resorts sports book hub manager Jeff Stoneback. "It wasn't just about them covering, it was about the after effect of everything that happened on the day. Half the win was on parlays, which halted the momentum somewhat on the day. It also killed a bunch of teasers, an area we really got beat up on. If the Chiefs would have covered it would have been really ugly with the eventual results. It saved a million dollar loss of the day for us."

              The Buccaneers didn't need the +7 at Kansas City, winning outright 19-17, and paying out +270 on the money-line. They were one of two underdogs on the day to win. The Bills 16-12 win at Cincinnati (-2.5) was the other, and most bettors (54% at William Hill) were on the right side on that one as well.

              The books also fared well with the Giants failing to cover -7 at home in a 22-16 win against the Bears. They beat out a pile of parlays, but there was some larger money siding with Chicago at +7.5. Another group had laid -6 and -6.5 with the Giants earlier in the week. The bigger picture was killing a leg on big parlays tied to other teams, but the net result wasn't so great because of the straight bets on the Bears. Giants kicker Robbie Gould missed two extra-points in the gusty winds which obviously had a big effect on the decision. The books should send him a gift basket for helping defuse parlay risk.

              There ended up being 12 missed extra-points between the 12 games on Sunday and only three of those venues can blame the misses on the wind. It's not directly related, but no game on Sunday landed on the NFL's most key number of '3' points. This trend of missed extra-points this season, though, will have an effect, even though the goal for most trailing coaches is to somehow get within three.

              Overall this season, the books are well below budgeted numbers from their initial forecasts on NFL action before the season started. The fall months are when the big numbers are produced mostly because of consistent NFL win, but not this year. It's the equivalent of a major retailer saying they broke even in December.

              • Opening Line Report - Week 12
                November 21, 2016


                If you’ve been blindly betting the Cowboys (9-0-1 ATS) and the Patriots (8-2 ATS), and blindly fading the Browns (2-9 ATS) and the 49ers (2-8 ATS) this NFL season, you’ve cashed tickets at a stout 34-6-1 clip.

                “What’s been hurting us the most is the Cowboys and Patriots covering every week and the Browns and the Niners failing to cover,” said Jason Simbal, vice president of risk at CG Technology.

                “Free money (for bettors). Just bet against the Niners and the Browns,” Nick Bogdanovich, director of trading at William Hill U.S., said of the tough day for his book on Sunday.

                Ed Salmons, oddsmaker at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, said public action on the Cowboys has picked up in recent weeks. “They bet against them at Green Bay (in Week 6), but since that game they’ve been betting them religiously,” he said of the gamblers at his shop.

                The Cowboys, who have covered every spread since pushing against the Giants in Week 1, take their traditional featured spot on Thanksgiving Day next week, opening as solid home favorites against the Redskins.

                Here’s a look at the opening betting lines for the entire Week 12 slate, with more insight from Bogdanovich, Simbal and Salmons. Numbers listed are the Las Vegas consensus as of about 11 p.m. ET on Sunday night, with early moves and differences among books noted as well.

                Thursday, Nov. 24

                Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions (-2.5)


                Some shops were dealing Detroit -3 (even) for the early Thanksgiving Day contest. The Lions have won five of their last six but have trailed in the fourth quarter in every game this season. While that’s not confidence-inspiring, it’s fair to say the Vikings were fortunate in their 30-24 home win over Arizona on Sunday that snapped a four-game losing streak.

                Just a few weeks ago, the Lions won at Minnesota as 4.5-point dogs, 22-16 in overtime. But Minnesota owns a 3-7-1 ATS record over Detroit in their last 11 meetings.

                Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys (-7/-120)

                Perhaps under the radar thanks the Cowboys’ nine-game winning streak, the Redskins, since losing their first two games of the season, are 6-1-1 SU and 7-1 ATS, including Sunday night’s 42-24 win as 3-point home favorites against the Packers.

                Pittsburgh Steelers (-3 even) at Indianapolis Colts

                While most shops opened Pitt -3 (even), CG Technology hung -3 (flat) and moved to -3 (-105) after booking some sharp action on the home dog.

                Sunday, Nov. 27

                San Diego Chargers at Houston Texans (-1)


                The Texans are a perfect 5-0 SU at home this season, so the opportunity to play them as such a short favorite (better yet, at pick ‘em at CG) has to entice some bettors. But most bettors are not buying Brock Osweiler. Plus, this looks like a good spot for the Chargers, coming off a bye and facing a Houston team that has to play the Raiders on Monday night in Mexico.

                “(Bettors) love playing teams off a bye because 1) you can get healthy and 2) you can game plan, and the other team is coming off a short week and a weird environment, Mexico,” Bogdanovich said.

                He added of next week’s line, “One thing for sure with San Diego is it’s going to be close at the end, so anything near a pick ‘em with San Diego blindly is right.”

                Tennessee Titans at Chicago Bears (-1.5)

                This spread ranged from Chicago -1 to -2 around Las Vegas on Sunday night.

                Jacksonville Jaguars at Buffalo Bills (-7)


                The Westgate hung Buffalo -6.5 but moved to -7 after a few minutes of wagering, and that’s where the rest of town opened the game.

                Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens (-3.5)

                CG moved from Baltimore -3 to -3 (-120) after a limit-bet on the favorite, Simbal said, while William Hill moved from -3.5 to -3 (-120).

                To some, the outlook looks bleak in Cincinnati, and the loss of A.J. Green (hamstring) isn’t helping matters.

                “He’s huge, he’s their only weapon, and they’re another team spiraling out of control,” Bogdanovich said. “They’re a mess. They’re a run-first team, but they aren’t running the ball and now their only big playmaker is gone. They left three good years on the table where they should have advanced in the playoffs. Sometimes that window closes, and this window is closing. I see Marvin Lewis getting fired. I think Cincinnati is a disaster, and they’re definitely a play-against team the rest of the way.”

                Arizona Cardinals at Atlanta Falcons (-4)

                This line ranged from 3.5 at the Wynn to 4.5 at the William Hill. While his shop opened at the high end of the market, Bogdanovich pointed out that Arizona, statistics-wise, has been the better team even in some of its losses.

                “Arizona’s a weird story,” Bogdanovich said. “They completely dominated a good Seattle team, and (Sunday) they completed dominated (the Vikings), but they keep shooting themselves in the foot with catastrophic plays. You can’t fade 100-yard interception returns and 100-yard kickoff returns. You look at the box score and you’d bet your kidney and your lungs on Arizona at pick ‘em.”

                San Francisco 49ers at Miami Dolphins (-8)

                While some books were dealing Miami -7.5 on Sunday night, the Westgate and William Hill both opened -8.5 and moved to -8.

                Los Angeles Rams at New Orleans Saints (-6.5)

                GC opened New Orleans -6 before a move to -6.5 a few hours later, while the Saints opened -7 elsewhere. This will be Jared Goff’s first start on the road in the NFL. Based on Sunday’s home game vs. the Dolphins, Goff’s first NFL start, Bogdanovich doesn’t see much difference between the rookie and Case Keenum.

                “About the same,” Bogdanovich said. “(Goff) didn’t do a whole hell of a lot (Sunday). They weren’t going to let him do a whole hell of a lot. They led the entire game, and they never got aggressive or tried to put it up or tried to press. They thought 10 would be enough. I know one thing: the defensive players for the Rams gotta be sick. They wasted these two, three years of good defenses with horrific offenses.”

                New York Giants (-6.5) at Cleveland Browns

                There was a mix of 6.5 and -7 (even) for this one, and it’s fair to wonder if sharp money is going to keep chasing Cleveland. When it comes to the Browns this season, the public has gotten the better of the sharps.

                “The Cleveland numbers get so inflated that you usually get wiseguys playing back on Cleveland, which we had a lot of (Sunday vs. Pittsburgh), but the public goes against Cleveland like clockwork,” Salmons said.

                Meanwhile, the Giants have won five straight, but Salmons is not yet convinced.

                “I don’t think much of the Giants,” he said. “They beat Cincinnati by 1 last week, they were lucky to beat the Bears (Sunday). They’re winning, but I don’t think much of the Giants.”

                Seattle Seahawks (-5.5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

                Simbal said while Seattle has become a hot bet-on team for his customers, his shop took a wiseguy play on Tampa Bay +6. Simbal’s team didn’t move the number, though, with plenty of Seahawks money expected to show up.

                Carolina Panthers at Oakland Raiders (-4)

                The Westgate opened Oakland -4.5 and moved to -4, while CG was dealing -3.5 on Sunday night. Two factors could influence how this line moves: the way the Raiders perform Monday night against the Texans in Mexico and the status of Carolina linebacker Luke Kuechly, who is in concussion protocol.

                Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos (-3.5/-120)

                CG originally hung 4 on this AFC West showdown that has been flexed into NBC’s prime-time slot, but that number didn’t last long, and Denver -3.5 (-120) was the most prevalent line Sunday night in Las Vegas.

                New England Patriots (-9) at New York Jets

                As the Westgate, New England grew from a 7.5- to an 8.5-point road favorite at its division rival, but that number was still on the low end of the market, as most shops were dealing -9. The Pats are 1-6 ATS in their last six trips to the Jets as favorites.

                Monday, Nov. 28

                Green Bay Packers at Philadelphia Eagles (-3)


                The Week 12 Monday nighter doesn’t look nearly as sexy as it did earlier this season. Green Bay has lost five of its last six games; Philly has lost five of seven.

                • Fitzpatrick to start for Jets vs. Patriots
                  November 21, 2016


                  FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) Ryan Fitzpatrick will be the New York Jets' starting quarterback Sunday against the New England Patriots.

                  Coach Todd Bowles made the announcement after practice Monday, the players' first day back at the facility since last Tuesday following a bye-week break.

                  Fitzpatrick sat out the Jets' previous game against Los Angeles on Nov. 13 with a sprained left knee. Bryce Petty made his first regular-season NFL start and went 19 of 32 for 163 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the 9-6 loss.

                  Bowles said last week that he would consider which quarterback would give the Jets (3-7) the best chance of winning against the Patriots (8-2). The coach says the fact Fitzpatrick is healthy again contributed to his decision, adding that he's the starter ''and we're going forward with that.''

                  Cardinals head coach Arians hospitalized
                  November 21, 2016


                  TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians was in the hospital Monday after feeling ill overnight, the team said.

                  The Cardinals issued a statement that said the 64-year-old coach was not feeling well Sunday night after returning home from Arizona's game in Minnesota and his wife took him to the hospital.

                  All tests conducted so far had come back favorably, the team said.

                  The Cardinals said they would provide updates as information became available.

                  Arizona lost 30-24 to the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis on Sunday. With almost everyone returning from last season's 13-3 team, the Cardinals were expected to be Super Bowl contenders but are 4-5-1 through 10 games.

                  Arians is one of the NFL's more colorful personalities. His profanity-laced dialogue was a highlight of the ''All or Nothing'' video series by NFL Films chronicling the Cardinals' 2015 season.

                  He was also hospitalized overnight during the preseason after doubling over with stomach pains as his team was practicing with the Chargers in San Diego. After he left the hospital, Arians said the pain was caused by diverticulitis and said he would further adjust his diet, something he said he already had begun to do.

                  An assistant coach for decades, Arians became interim head coach at Indianapolis in 2012 when Chuck Pagano left for treatment of leukemia. The team went 9-3 under Arians and he was named NFL coach of the year.

                  He took the head coaching job with Arizona the following season, guiding the team to a 10-6 record and won a second coach of the year honor after guiding Arizona to an 11-5 mark in 2014.

                  Overall, the Cardinals are 38-18-1 under Arians.

                  Surging Bucs in middle of playoff hunt
                  November 21, 2016


                  TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Thanks to the steady progress of Jameis Winston, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are back in the thick of the race for a playoff berth.

                  The team's 19-17 road upset of the Kansas City Chiefs lifted the Bucs (5-5) back to .500, one game behind the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons with six weeks remaining in the regular season.

                  Tampa Bay hasn't made the playoffs since 2007. Sunday's victory was a confidence booster heading into a stretch run that'll feature home games against Seattle, New Orleans and Carolina and road tests against San Diego, Dallas and the Saints.

                  ''We're just jelling, coming together one game at a time,'' safety Bradley McDougald said.

                  Winston played one of the best games of his young career, topping 300 yards passing in consecutive games for the first time and not throwing an interception.

                  The Bucs converted 68.7 percent of their third-down opportunities, with the second-year quarterback going 12 of 14 for 133 yards and one touchdown on third downs.

                  The defense has played better in victories over Chicago and Kansas City the past two weeks after allowing 1,087 yards, including 857 passing, during losses to Oakland and Atlanta within a five-day span.

                  ''Every week is a different week,'' said safety Chris Conte, who returned an interception for a touchdown against the Bears.

                  He then earned a game ball against the Chiefs with an end zone interception that cost Kansas City - trailing 12-10 at the time - a chance to take a fourth-quarter lead.

                  ''You know we've got another big challenge next week. We've just got to keep on working,'' Conte added, looking ahead to the Seahawks (7-2-1) on Sunday.

                  ''Whenever you win, it's huge. I think we played a relatively clean game on defense, with the exception of a couple of big plays. We're getting better each week.''

                  Winston completed third-down throws to six receivers, including Alan Cross, an undrafted rookie tight end who had one career reception before scoring Tampa Bay's only TD on a 3-yard catch in the fourth quarter.

                  ''We talk about role playing all the time, play your role, understand your role can change at any second,'' coach Dirk Koetter said. ''These last two games, we've been doing a really good job as a football team of playing our roles. The coaches putting them in positions to play them, some guys' roles have expanded, some guys have diminished roles.''

                  Receiver Cecil Shorts III is one of the players who has seen his role grow as the season progresses. The sixth-year pro didn't sign with Tampa Bay until the week of the opener, and he had his most productive game since arriving with five receptions for 62 yards against the Chiefs.

                  ''Good teams find ways to win in November and December. I think we're hitting our stride at the right time,'' Shorts said. ''We're finally getting our timing down. We're executing very well on third down. We got Doug (Martin) back at a crucial time of the year. Things are looking good for us.''

                  • NFL Week 12 opening line report: Thanksgiving week brings critical matchups

                    "The Cowboys will once again be the side of the public, they have been all year, and all they do is cash tickets for their backers.”

                    Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys, no line

                    Dallas is hotter than a two-dollar pistol and gets to play at home on a short week. The Cowboys (9-1 SU and ATS) haven’t lost outright nor against the number since Week 1, and on Sunday, they topped the Baltimore Ravens 27-17 as a 7-point home favorite.

                    Washington appears to be getting its act together, putting itself in the wild-card picture in the process. On Sunday night, the Redskins (6-3-1 SU, 7-3 ATS) rolled past reeling Green Bay 42-24 as a 3-point home chalk.

                    “Both the ‘Skins and Cowboys are coming off very nice efforts, more so the Skins, having won by 18 points in front of a national TV audience on Sunday night,” Childs said. “But this is a real tough spot for Washington, having played Sunday night and now having to travel on a very short week. The Cowboys will once again be the side of the public, they have been all year, and all they do is cash tickets for their backers.”

                    Since the ‘Skins were in the late game, Childs said Sportsbook.ag would wait until Monday to post the line. But he’s leaning toward Dallas as about a touchdown fave.

                    “My line before the ‘Skins played on Sunday night was Cowboys -7. We’ll assess in the morning, but I feel like we’ll open Cowboys -6.5 and see what bettors do with it.”

                    Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions (-3)


                    There’s a game in the NFC North with first-place on the line, and it doesn’t involve the Green Bay Packers. Minnesota and Detroit are tied at 6-4 SU and ATS, though Detroit has an edge since it beat Minnesota 22-16 in overtime as a 4.5-point underdog earlier this month.

                    In fact, the Lions are 5-1 SU and ATS in their last six games, after fending off Jacksonville 26-19 Sunday laying 5.5 points at home. The Vikings, meanwhile, finally got back on track after a four-game SU and ATS slide, besting Arizona 30-24 giving 2 points at home.

                    “Monster game for the NFC North, as the winner will have the inside track on the division and a playoff berth,” Childs said. “And it’s a great game to start Turkey Day. We opened Lions -3, strictly on having home field, as these teams grade out equally on my power ratings. So far, most of the early money is on the ‘dog, so we adjusted the Vikings to +3 (-120), hanging some extra juice on them.”

                    Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos (-3.5)

                    The AFC West is a three-team logjam, with defending Super Bowl champion Denver just trying to keep pace with both Kansas City and Oakland. The Broncos (7-3 SU and ATS) should be well-rested for this Sunday night contest, coming off their bye week after a stunning win at New Orleans, where Denver – a 3-point ‘dog – returned a block extra point to account for the final score of 25-23.

                    The Chiefs (7-3 SU, 4-6 ATS) are coming off arguably an equally stunning loss. Kansas City was a 7-point home chalk Sunday against Tampa Bay, but ended up losing 19-17. Bad loss aside, Childs is still looking forward to this division showdown.

                    “Thank God this game got flexed into the prime-time Sunday night game, or we’d be stuck with the Patriots-Jets game, which would have been bad for betting action,” Childs said. “The Broncos are coming off a bye, and I have a feeling the extra prep time is going to help them immensely, especially on offense, where they’ve been struggling recently. The Chiefs are off an awful loss to the lowly Bucs, at home no less.

                    “It’s a monster game, with both wild-card and divisional implications. The loser will be fighting an uphill battle for the AFC West.”

                    Sportsbook.ag opted to open Denver at -3.5 in the Mile High City.

                    “The Broncos always play well at home, so we had to make them at least a 3-point favorite,” Childs said. “We added a hook, thinking bettors were going to be turned off on the Chiefs after their latest effort, or lack thereof. So far, we’ve seen good two-way action at 3.5, so I don’t see this number moving all that much.”

                    Green Bay Packers at Philadelphia Eagles, no line

                    Two teams fighting to stay relevant in the 2016 season wrap up Week 12 by playing on “Monday Night Football.” Green Bay’s position is surely the bigger surprise, as it dropped to 4-6 SU and 4-5-1 ATS after a 42-24 loss at Washington catching 3 points in the Sunday nighter.

                    Philadelphia got out of the gate 3-0 SU and ATS behind rookie QB Carson Wentz, but is 2-5 SU and ATS since then. On Sunday, the Eagles (5-5 SU and ATS) lost 26-15 at Seattle getting 6.5 points.

                    “The Packers suffered a devastating loss that could seal their fate for missing the playoffs. They also suffered a bunch of injuries, which is very troubling for a team that was already beat up on both sides of the ball,” said Childs, noting that with Green Bay playing late Sunday, the opening line had to wait. “My initial number prior to the Sunday night game was Eagles -2. Now, I see us opening (Monday) at least 3 and maybe more.”

                    Part of the calculus is the Packers remaining on the road this week.

                    “They’re a beat-up and demoralized team traveling for the third straight week,” Childs said. “I can’t see them coming up with much of an effort, and the Eagles have been money in the bank at home (4-0 SU and ATS). I really need to read up more on the Packers’ injury situation, but I see us opening up Eagles -3.5 or more.”

                    • Wiseguys are advising that these Week 12 NFL lines are going to move

                      Coach Todd Bowles is reportedly ready to jettison erratic Ryan Fitzpatrick and start rebuilding around second-year QB Bryce Petty.

                      Game to bet now

                      Cincinnati at Baltimore (-4)


                      Can things get any worse for the Bengals? This past Sunday’s loss to the Bills (at home) might have just about ended their season. Cincy is now 3-6-1, and while that’s not too deep a hole in an AFC North Division co-led by the Steelers and Ravens at 5-5, Marvin Lewis has more than his share of problems with the team’s best player (A.J. Green) possibly lost for the season with a hamstring injury, and running back Giovani Bernard (ACL) definitely cooked for 2016.

                      The injury news moved the line from Baltimore -3 (almost all AFC North games not involving the Browns are field goal lines) to Ravens -4.

                      Given the Bengals’ historical inability to deal with adversity, even 4 might be a bargain.

                      Game to wait on

                      New England at New York Jets (+8.5)


                      Looks like a wasted year for the Jets, who are rumored to be getting set to release CB Darrelle Revis after the season. Coach Todd Bowles is reportedly ready to jettison erratic Ryan Fitzpatrick and start rebuilding around second-year QB Bryce Petty. Problem is, everyone knows Petty is nowhere near ready, and inserting him into the lineup would give a loud and clear signal that the head coach of the NYJ is cashing it in this year.

                      Complicating matters is that New England is next on the schedule after New York’s bye, and the Pats feast on inexperienced quarterbacks because of their intricate defensive schemes.

                      Best wait on this one until it’s clear who the Jets will use at QB.

                      Total to watch

                      Seattle at Tampa Bay (44.5)


                      On the surface there appears to be nothing special here. Seattle is 5-5 on the over, and Tampa Bay games have covered the O/U number 6 times in 10 games. But there’s a little more to it. The Seahawks have found their offense and have averaged nearly 30 points a game since the calendar turned to November. Russell Wilson is playing with great confidence.

                      And don’t be fooled by the Buccaneers’ scoring less than 20 in a win over Kansas City on Sunday. Prior to that their games had gone over four straight times. In home games the Bucs average nearly 26 ppg.

                      This game was bet down half a point in early wagering, making it tempting for a hard look at the over.
