nfl Detroit Lions over +47½ -110
Stormin NormanThe over is 7-1-1 in the Lions’ last nine road games and 4-0 in the Raiders’ last four overall.
ncaaf Arizona State +14 -110
Stormin NormanBoise State has been a pointspread disaster area. Its last cover came at Colorado State back on October 15. The Broncos are 0-6 ATS as double-digit favorites since that victory.
nfl Miami Dolphins +4 -110
Stormin NormanCompetitively bad Miami is due a break (and a win), while KC is facing a flat, letdown-mode effort, coming in as it is off a short week after a big and emotional (if lucky) win over division rival San Diego on Monday. K-City has won four straight, and if there’s ever been a situation suggesting an overconfident home squad, it is this one. Beyond intangibles, I think Miami (especially with Daniel Thomas back) can run and control clock on an Injuns defense ranked only 22nd at stopping the run.
nfl San Diego Chargers +5½ -110
Stormin NormanPackers travel off a bye, now more a hindrance than a boon, and find awaiting a Bolts team desperate to right itself after consecutive losses including a win fumbled away Monday night. Aaron Rodgers will get his yards, but SD’s pass defense is better than G-Bay’s (much), and so Philip Rivers’ fantasy owners will be grinning almost as broadly as the ’72 Dolphins as they toast the Last Unbeaten falling.
