Mariners vs Angels Free Pick July 10, 2018

TEXANS @ TITANS SUNDAY AFTERNOON TOTAL

The Tennessee Titans have won four on the bounce while averaging 37.5 points per game with Ryan Tannehill at the helm. The Houston Texans took a disappointing 38-24 home loss to the Denver Broncos last week and their defense ranks 25th in total defense and 27th in the league against the pass. On the offensive side of the ball, Houston rarely has any issues to move the ball and I expect a big bounce back game from QB Deshaun Watson who threw for 292 yards with a TD and two INTs last week. 

Over is 7-0 in Titans last 7 games overall.

8* play on OVER. 

GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED NFL TOTAL FOR WEEK 15

I think Sunday afternoon's matchup between the LA Rams and the Dallas Cowboys will be a relatively low-scoring affair. Dallas has averaged just 13 ppg through a three-game slide, and here it'll face a Rams defense that has been one of the best in the league since acquiring star cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The under is 7-1 in the Rams last 8 games overall and 12-3 in their last 15 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. 

10* play on UNDER. 

MIKE LUNDIN'S BEARS @ PACKERS FREE PICK

The Green Bay Packers won the first meeting of the season 10-3 at Chicago on September 5. I like the Bears to keep this one closer and maybe even pull an outright upset. 

This game means a lot more for the Bears than the Packers who enter Sunday top of the NFC North while Chicago has won three straight and four of its last five to remain in the mix for a wild card spot. 

The Bears offense has been much better in recent weeks, and here it'll face a Green Bay defense that is giving up a whopping 367.9 total yards per game. The Packers 10-3 record look quite impressive at first glance but note that they're outgained by an average of 27 yards per game. 

Packers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 vs. NFC North. Bears are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 vs. NFC North.

Free pick on Chicago Bears. 

GAME OF THE MONTH (SOCCER): MIKE'S TOP RATED EPL SIDE FOR DECEMBER

Manchester United have picked up the pace following a slow start to the season. They enter this matchup with Everton coming off three straight victories, beating difficult opponents in Tottenham, Man City and most recently AZ Alkmaar in Europa League. 

While Everton are coming off a 3-1 win over Chelsea, note that they had dropped three straight prior to that and they're 1-1-6 on the road this season. 

10* play on Manchester United. 

BRONCOS @ CHIEFS NFL BANKROLL BUILDER

The Kansas City Chiefs have won three on the bounce, but I think they're in an emotional letdown spot after defeating the Patriots in Foxborough last week. They'll face a Denver Broncos team that is nowhere near the playoffs, but it has far from quit the season coming off back-to-back straight up wins and covering the spread in five of its last six. KC has already wrapped up its fourth straight division title, and I think it'll struggle to get separation. 

Additionally, note that while Denver’s run defense has been questionable of late, KC poses very little threat on the ground with just 93.0 (27th) rushing yards per game. 

8* play on Denver Broncos. 

FALCONS @ 49ERS BOOKIE BLASTER - 4:25 PM ET START

The Atlanta Falcons have just four wins on the season, but three of those have come in their last five games. They put a 40-20 beating on Carolina last time out, and I think they'll keep it relatively close here against a San Francisco 49ers team in an emotional letdown spot following a dramatic win at New Orleans last time out. They did, however, lose star cornerback Richard Sherman to a hamstring strain, which won't' help an already dinged up defense. The Niners are just 4-9-1 ATS as favorites since the start of last season and this is only the second time they're asked to cover double-digits during that stretch. Last time they laid 10+ (against Arizona on Nov 17), they came up short of covering. 

8* play on Atlanta Falcons. 

GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 15 SIDE

The Carolina Panthers have dropped five in a row and have failed to cover the spread in four of those games. They are nowhere near the playoffs, have fired head coach Ron Rivera and turned the ball over four times in last week's 40-20 loss at Atlanta. There's little fight left in the team, and I don't see how Carolina will be able to keep pace with a Seattle Seahawks team that is 6-1 SU on the road and looking to bounce back from a humbling 28-12 loss at the LA Rams on Sunday Night Football. 

The Panthers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games in December while the Seahawks are 25-12-1 ATS in their last 38 games in December.

10* play on Seattle Seahawks.
