Tiny Nick’s Gambling Picks: 12/18

Locks

NFL (1 Unit) 3-Team 7 Point Teaser (+120)

Dallas Cowboys +3 @ Jacksonville Jaguars

As I mentioned on my podcast numerous times, the Cowboys have had a bad little run of injuries with the latest being Terrance Steele tearing his ACL. But even with all of the injuries I truly think this Cowboys team is top two in the NFC and after a near let down last week, they should be ready to go today. Despite being a favorite often, the Cowboys are 8-5 ATS on the season and on a tease to a field goal plus spread, it seems like a no-brainer to me. Jacksonville hasn’t been a joke as of late but I anticipate the Cowboys pass rush to be too much for Trevor Lawrence and the Jags.

Philadelphia Eagles -1.5 @ Chicago Bears

This is one I sometimes wish I was wrong on because the Eagles continue to run away with the NFC East against my wishes. Even though I despise them, they’ve proven to me that they are a force to be reckoned with and Jalen Hurts is absolutely for real. Pair that with a Chicago team that doesn’t have much to play for, boasting the worst defense by DVOA in football this year, and the 7 point teased spread of -1.5 seems like the play to me.

Cincinnati Bengals +3.5 @ Tampa Bay Bucs

As I was writing this up I realized I took 3 road favorites in the year of the underdog but I honestly don’t care. Joe Burrow has been on an absolute tear lately and this Bucs team just isn’t any good. Combine the 10-3 ATS run the Bengals are on with the Bucs 3-9-1 run, and once again the road team seems like the easy play. It's a valuable bonus that the 7 point tease takes us through a +3 spread, so even if this game does get weird we have a little cushion on the plus side.
