Sunday Night Football Picks: Cincinnati Bengals at New York Giants
by Mike Allen - 10/9/2024

The heartbroken Cincinnati Bengals head east for a Sunday Night Football matchup with the New York Giants this week. Cincy was so close to pulling even with the Baltimore Ravens at 2-3, but a combination of terrible defense and questionable coaching has left them sitting in the AFC North basement at 1-4. Adding insult to injury, they aren't alone down there. If you're in the same conversation as the Browns, someone needs to be fired. It won't be Joe Burrow. We know that. He's off to the best start of his career, but for what?

Sunday Night Football Picks: Dallas Cowboys at Pittsburgh Steelers
by Mike Allen - 10/2/2024

America's Team, the Dallas Cowboys, limp into this week's Sunday Night Football matchup with a Pittsburgh Steelers team surprisingly sitting at 3-1. The Steel Curtain is back this year, as Mike Tomlin has one of -- if not the -- best defenses in football through the first month of the regular season.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Buffalo Bills at Baltimore Ravens
by Mike Allen - 9/25/2024

Many pundits pick for the 2024 NFL MVP, the Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, has been his usual self. In Week 1, he couldn’t make the throws he needed to beat the Chiefs, but he’s been his normal self, more or less, completing a high percentage of his throws while protecting and running the ball effectively.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Kansas City Chiefs at Atlanta Falcons
by Mike Allen - 9/18/2024

Primetime Kirk Cousins needed the Philadelphia Eagles to blow not one, not two, but three chances deep inside the red zone to even have the opportunity to drive his team 70 yards for the game-winning touchdown in what seemed like 17 seconds. As I was beginning to explain the prevent defense to my girlfriend and how it can prevent the team from winning, Cousins beat me to my point.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Chicago Bears at Houston Texans
by Mike Allen - 9/12/2024

In a rematch of the 2024 Hall of Fame Game, the home-favorite Houston Texans will be out for "revenge" against the team that beat them in the first preseason game of the year by a score of 21-17. We aren't sure about the result yet, but this week's Sunday Night Football matchup is a completely different matchup than what we saw a month ago in Canton.

Sunday Night Football Picks: LA Rams vs Detroit Lions
by Mike Allen - 9/5/2024

The storylines are everywhere in this game. We have two Super Bowl quarterbacks playing against the only former team each QB has had. About halfway through the regular season last year, a lot of people were talking about Matt Stafford retiring with a bad neck. He quickly quelled those rumors when the neck healed up, returning to form late in the season to lead the Rams to the postseason with an average of more than 300 yards passing over his final six games.

Sunday Night Football Predictions: Buffalo Bills vs Miami Dolphins
by Mike Allen - 1/4/2024

Welcome to the wacky world of Week 18 in the NFL. Nearly every game on the schedule this week has its own unique set of circumstances. I am speaking, of course, about the potential playoff berth/draft position implications for each particular team. For the final Sunday Night Football game of the year, the Buffalo Bills will travel to Miami, Florida, to play the division rival Dolphins.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Green Bay Packers vs Minnesota Vikings
by Mike Allen - 12/27/2023

We only have a couple of weeks left in the NFL’s 2023 regular season. Out of the 16 teams in the NFC, only 4 teams have clinched a berth in the playoffs. There are 3 teams sitting at 8-7 right now who would make the postseason if it were to begin today. There are 5 more that are in the hunt. The first two teams out of playoff contention at the moment, are the bitter rivals, the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings. They are each 7-8. So, there is virtually no room for error at this point.

Sunday Night Football Picks: New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos
by Mike Allen - 12/21/2023

It is Week 16 in the 2023 NFL regular season, and we have a total of only 4 teams that have clinched a playoff berth, and just one of those teams is in the AFC. There is, however, a rapidly growing list of teams who are eliminated from postseason contention. And as you might expect, the New England Patriots are on that list.

Sunday Night Football Predictions Baltimore Ravens vs Jacksonville Jaguars
by Mike Allen - 12/12/2023

This Sunday night and Week 15 of the 2023 NFL regular season, we get a high-level matchup between two playoff teams and likely winners of their division. Who knows? We may see these two teams play each other down the line in a massive playoff game. Both the Baltimore Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars are sitting pretty in first place right now.

Sunday Night Football Predictions: Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys
by Mike Allen - 12/7/2023

You don’t have to be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys or the Philadelphia Eagles to get excited for this Sunday Night Football primetime game. It is easily the biggest game of Week 14. Can the Cowboys finally get over the hump and beat one of the league’s top teams?

Sunday Night Football Picks: Kansas City Chiefs vs Green Bay Packers
by Mike Allen - 11/30/2023

With more and more marquee games every week in primetime, fans and bettors get a curveball on Sunday Night Football when the Kansas City Chiefs visit the possibly frozen tundra of Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers. I say possibly because a rain/snow mix is forecasted for Sunday with a game-time temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Baltimore Ravens vs LA Chargers
by Mike Allen - 11/22/2023

If you make it through both Thanksgiving and Black Friday with a few extra bills in your pocket, we have an exciting and potentially profitable AFC matchup. Unfortunately, it's not a divisional matchup like we have for every game on Thursday and Friday.

Sunday Night Football Predictions: Minnesota Vikings vs Denver Broncos
by Mike Allen - 11/14/2023

Both the Vikings and the Broncos are making strong moves towards playoff contention. Minnesota started off the 2023 regular season with some very unlucky losses, quickly falling to a record of 1-4. Since then, however, the Vikings are winners of 5 consecutive games.

Sunday Night Football Predictions: New York Jets vs Las Vegas Raiders
by Mike Allen - 11/8/2023

This Sunday night, the New York Jets, fresh off an ugly loss to the LA Chargers, travel to Sin City to play the Las Vegas Raiders. I thought maybe the Jets could score some points on the Chargers, but LA is healthier on the defensive side of the ball and playing with a renewed vigor.

Sunday Night Football Picks Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals
by Mike Allen - 11/1/2023

Oh, Buffalo. I've never visited your city, but I imagine the blistering cold weather stays pretty consistent throughout the Fall and Winter. That is a lot more than you can say for your football team. The Buffalo Bills have been the model of inconsistency, and I have been on the wrong side of that coin flip more times than I want to admit.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Chicago Bears vs Los Angeles Chargers
by Mike Allen - 10/26/2023

As we prepare for the 8th Sunday of the NFL regular season, the horizon is still a bit out of focus. It was supposed to be a big year for the Los Angeles Chargers, but this team continues to struggle. At the beginning of the season, LA looked bad, particularly on defense, but they did have several injuries in some key positions.

Sunday Night Football Picks: Miami Dolphins vs Philadelphia Eagles
by Mike Allen - 10/19/2023

It is Week 7 in the NFL, and we have one of the biggest games of the season on Sunday Night Football between two division leaders as the Philadelphia Eagles host the Miami Dolphins. Both of these teams are tied atop the NFL with three other teams for the best record at 5-1. I don't know if I am sold yet, however, on either team being elite. Both squads have about a 90% chance of making the playoffs, but their respective division crowns are still up for grabs.

Sunday Night Football Predictions: New York Giants vs Buffalo Bills
by Mike Allen - 10/11/2023

We got a big win this past Sunday night with the 49ers (-3.5). They bent the Cowboys over their knee that night. I can't sit here and tell you I thought it was going to look like the mismatch it did, but we said the Cowboys weren't on their level. Speaking of levels, our Week 6 Sunday Night Football matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Giants has blowout written all over it. Or does it?

Sunday Night Football Picks: Dallas Cowboys vs San Francisco 49ers
by Mike Allen - 10/4/2023

We received our first loss of the season on Sunday Night Football this past weekend when Patrick Mahomes decided to slide down after the first down marker but before the end zone. It was a smart play because they could run the clock out, but what about the fans that bet you to cover the spread?
