Recap
A look back at yesterday’s Picks 

Fresh off the heels of an encouraging day, our confidence is on the upswing. Yesterday's 10-7 record stands testament to our persistent analysis and approach. This brings our overall season record to 67-72, and while we still have some ground to cover, we're steadily moving in the right direction. The college football landscape treated us well, and our reading of the ice was spot-on, going an unblemished 2-0 in our hockey selections.

As the sun rises today, so does our excitement. The NFL offers a robust slate of matchups, and we are poised to capitalize on them. So, buckle up and prepare for a day packed with gridiron action, as we aim to further narrow that gap and deliver you the best insights into today's games.

NFL
Professional Football picks for Sunday, October 15th

Ravens -4: The Baltimore Ravens have been a beacon of consistency and excellence this season, showcasing their dominance on both sides of the ball. On the flip side, the Tennessee Titans have not lived up to expectations, with inconsistent performances marring their campaign. This week's matchup takes both teams across the pond to London. The change in environment might be a hurdle for some, but given Lamar Jackson's adaptability and the Ravens' dynamism, I foresee Baltimore clinching this one comfortably. Lay the points with the Ravens and anticipate a riveting performance on the international stage.

Dolphins -13.5: The Miami Dolphins have been on a tear lately, showcasing both offensive firepower and a stingy defense. Facing off against the Panthers, a team that has faced its fair share of struggles, it's shaping up to be a game that heavily favors Miami. While laying over two touchdowns in the NFL is always a risky endeavor, given the current form of both teams, the Dolphins have all the tools to not just secure a win, but to do so in dominant fashion. Expect Miami to control this game from the get-go and cruise past that hefty spread.

Dolphins vs. Panthers Over 47.5: It's shaping up to be quite the high-scoring affair when the Miami Dolphins meet the Carolina Panthers. The Dolphins, with their dynamic offense, have shown time and again that they can light up the scoreboard. On the other side, the Panthers, despite their inconsistencies, possess the weapons to contribute significantly to the point total. With both teams capable of putting up points and potentially engaging in a back-and-forth battle, there's a solid chance we'll see a combined score that eclipses the 47.5 mark. Strap in for what should be an exciting and high-scoring showdown.

Jaguars -4: Jacksonville's recent performances, especially during their London stint, have displayed a notable improvement in both offense and defense. The momentum they've built overseas seems to have rejuvenated the team. Facing the Colts, who've had their own set of challenges, the Jaguars appear poised to capitalize on their recent form. With the way the Jags have been playing, it's reasonable to expect them to not only win but also cover the 4-point spread. Get ready for another strong showing from Jacksonville.

Vikings -3: Despite the absence of star receiver Justin Jefferson, the Vikings have depth in their offensive arsenal. The Vikings' multi-dimensional offense should shine. The 3-point spread seems modest given the firepower Minnesota possesses, even without Jefferson. Anticipate a compelling performance from the Vikings as they aim to cover the spread and secure a win

Vikings vs Bears Over 44: Both the Vikings and the Bears have shown the capability to engage in high-scoring duels. When these two face off, there's potential for offensive fireworks. Given their recent offensive performances, this over seems very achievable.

Texans Moneyline: Houston comes in as the underdogs, but with CJ Stroud under center, they've shown a new level of competition. Stroud has been impressive in recent outings, and I anticipate him leading the Texans to a surprising victory.

Bengals -2.5: Cincinnati is starting to play at a level we've seen them achieve in the past. With Joe Burrow looking more comfortable and firing on all cylinders, I expect the Bengals to easily cover against the Seahawks.

49ers -9.5: The 49ers are showcasing why they're considered one of the elites in the NFL. Against the Browns, who have had their struggles, I anticipate a decisive San Francisco victory.

Falcons -2.5: The Falcons, after a tough loss last week, will be looking to bounce back. Their matchup against the Commanders seems like the perfect opportunity to regain their momentum. Expect a strong performance from Atlanta.

Raiders -2.5: With dynamic players like Josh Jacobs leading the way, the Raiders are on track to continue their success. This game should tilt in favor of Las Vegas.

Rams -7: Led by the exceptional talents of Cooper Kupp, the Rams' receiving corps is among the best. Anticipate them putting on a show and comfortably covering the spread.

Buccs Moneyline: This is indeed a daring pick, but Baker Mayfield has shown significant improvements this season. While facing the Detroit Lions won't be an easy task, the Buccaneers, led by Mayfield's leadership, have the tools to secure a victory.

Eagles -6: The Eagles have firmly established themselves as a powerhouse in the NFL this season. Facing the Jets, who've had their struggles, presents a golden opportunity for Philadelphia to further solidify their dominance. Look for them to not only win but to cover the spread comfortably.

Bills -15: Last week's unexpected stumble in London undoubtedly stung the Bills, but it also might have provided them with the necessary wake-up call. Given their potential and overall strength this season, I anticipate a significant rebound this week. Even with the large spread, I foresee Buffalo making a statement and covering with room to spare.

Chargers Moneyline: The dynamic duo of Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen has been nothing short of electric this season. Their chemistry and on-field connection have been pivotal for the Chargers' success. Heading into this game, I anticipate their momentum will carry on, and with the talent and determination they've displayed, I'm confident in the Chargers securing a victory.

Longshot Pick - Amon-Ra St. Brown First Touchdown: We're taking a flyer on this one! Amon-Ra St. Brown has shown glimpses of his potential in various moments this season.
