Max’s Sports Bet Picks for 10/30/21

NFL Week 8

Pittsburgh (3.5) vs. Cleveland (-3.5)

Spread: Bet $50 Cleveland

Total: Lean Under 42.5

Predicted Score: Pittsburgh 17 – Cleveland 25 (42)

Notes: The Steelers are coming off a bye week and head to Cleveland for a divisional game that is pretty critical to their playoff hopes. Dropping to 3-4 in the AFC North could be a major issue considering how well the Bengals have played this year.

For the Browns, it’s about getting healthy. They got a big Thursday night football win in week 7 without Baker, Chubb and Hunt in the lineup. Baker is back and so is Chubb so it should give them a good chance of beating the Steelers this week.

Both teams have a solid defense but let’s focus on the rushing game of both teams. The Browns are #1 in the league and Pittsburgh is 29^th. The Browns should be able to control the time of possession in this one and move the ball better than the Steelers.

Divisional games are close so I hate the hook in this one. But I’ll jump on Cleveland anyway. $50 bet on the Browns.

Miami (14) vs. Buffalo (-14)

Spread: Bet $50 Buffalo

Total: Lean Over 49

Predicted Score: Miami 16 – Buffalo 36 (52)

Notes: The Dolphins kinda, sorta made a deal for DeShuan Watson. Which must have been a mindfuck to their second-year QB. Tua will need to try to shake that off as he leads the lackluster Miami offense against a pretty solid Bills’ defense.

Buffalo is #1 in opponents yards allowed per game and #1 in opponents points per game. The Dolphins are 28^th in yards per game and 29^th in points per game. This certainly looks like a one-sided game and my numbers say yeah, yeah, it is.

14 is a lot. Well, week 7 showed me that 14 against a dreadful team is doable. I have the Bills winning by 20 here. So 14 does not scare me.

$50 bet on the Bills.

Philadelphia (-3.5) vs. Detroit (3.5)

Spread: Bet $50 Detroit

Total: Lean Under 48.5

Predicted Score: Philadelphia 23 – Detroit 21 (44)

Notes: If you download and listen to every single episode, you would know that I said this is a winnable game for the Lions. Will I moneyline them? No. Fuck that.

Will I take them with the points? Yeah, I think I will.

The Eagles had that competitive game on a Thursday night against the Bucs but then turned around with a dud against the Raiders last week. Other than their week 1 win, they have not looked very good. That includes their narrow win over a struggling Panthers team.

The Lions held their own with the Rams last week. On the road. And now they are home and looking to avoid a winless season by securing their first win of the year. To get there, they need to run the ball.

The Eagles allow 133 rushing yards per game. That ranks 29^th in the league. If Dan Campbell gameplans right and takes pressure off Goff-bot, Detroit could win.

But again, I’ll take the points. $50 bet on the Lions.

New England (4.5) vs. LA Chargers (-4.5)

Spread: Bet $50 New England

Total: Lean Over 49.5

Predicted Score: New England 26 – LA Chargers 25 (51)

Notes: We covered this one a bit on the Fantasy Episode and my thoughts were that the Patriots have a chance here if they exploit the Chargers’ run defense and then have Mac Jones just do enough. The Chargers have a good pass rush and defend the pass well – so Mac cannot do anything too risky.

And that’s how Bill and McDaniels have played him this season – though each week they add a little more responsibility to him.

Both teams had a bye week last week. The Chargers had a literal one and the Patriots played the fucking Jets – which, is essentially a bye. The Chargers look to recover from a bad loss to the Ravens and also try to stay in control of the AFC West – fending off against a Chucky-less Raiders team.

I just don’t think it’ll be easy for them. I like the Patriots to keep it close and maybe sneak out a close win.

$50 bet on New England.
