Monday Night Football Picks: Green Bay Packers vs New York Giants
by Mike Allen - 12/7/2023

We are once again getting two Monday Night Football games this week. They are both kicking off at the same time. The game I want to cover with you guys today is between the New York Football Giants and the streaking Green Bay Packers. We didn't know what to think about the Green Bay Packers and their new quarterback Jordan Love for the longest time.

Monday Night Football Predictions: Tennessee Titans vs Miami Dolphins
by Mike Allen - 12/7/2023

One of the two Monday Night Football games on the slate for the NFL’s 14th week of the regular season is a mismatch. Unfortunately, the betting odds reflect this. That’s okay, though. We can track this game from several angles. The Tennessee Titans may not be tanking for a spot to draft a quarterback, but they aren't fighting for a playoff spot, either.

Monday Night Football Picks: Jacksonville Jaguars vs Cincinnati Bengals
by Mike Allen - 12/1/2023

This Monday Night, we get to see what should have been a marquee matchup in the AFC. The Bengals without their quarterback, though, just aren’t the same team. I didn't have them rated that highly to begin with. They can't run the ball to save their life. What does that tell you? You have maybe the best passer of the football under center. He makes very good decisions, and his arm is incredibly dangerous.

Monday Night Football Picks: Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings
by Mike Allen - 11/22/2023

Week 12 might be the most fun of them all so far this season. I suppose it is hard to beat Week 1 in the NFL, but for Week 12, we have 3 Thanksgiving Day division games, a division game on Black Friday, along with your regularly scheduled Sunday and Monday Night Football games. The final game of the week is another division rivalry game between two resurgent squads.

Monday Night Football Picks: Philadelphia Eagles at Kansas City Chiefs
by Mike Allen - 11/15/2023

This is the midseason Super Bowl! These two teams are betting favorites to win their respective conferences and rematch in Super Bowl LVIII. The Philadelphia Eagles are 2.5-point underdogs at (-110), the same betting odds some sportsbooks have them to win the NFC. They seemed to stumble out of the gate. However, with their schedule front-loaded against weaker opponents, they usually found a way to win.

Monday Night Football Picks: Denver Broncos vs Buffalo Bills
by Mike Allen - 11/8/2023

The Buffalo Bills just won’t go away. At least they are finally gaining some consistency. I fret because I haven’t been able to get this team right all year. It started with their matchup with the New York Jets in Week 1. I don't think any team has been featured in primetime any more than the Bills.

Monday Night Football Predictions: Los Angeles Chargers vs New York Jets
by Mike Allen - 10/31/2023

In the final game of the first half of the 2023 NFL regular season, the Los Angeles Chargers make the long trip east to play on the newest and worst playing surface in the NFL when the New York Jets play host at MetLife Stadium. Last week’s game versus the Giants was somehow uglier than the 13-10 final score in overtime.

Monday Night Football Picks: Las Vegas Raiders vs Detroit Lions
by Mike Allen - 10/26/2023

The Detroit Lions put a screeching halt to their hype last week when they took a massive drubbing, as the Baltimore Ravens gnawed them clean to the bone. They were coming off 4 straight wins by 14 or more points, and then they ran into Baltimore. The final score was 38-6, but it felt even worse than that for Lions fans, I imagine.

Monday Night Football Picks: 49ers vs Minnesota Vikings
by Mike Allen - 10/19/2023

I could really use a break from the San Francisco 49ers. The wound is still so fresh. I thought teasing them down to a pick’em with Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was a good idea. So much happened in the Browns' favor. Their Hall of Fame left tackle, Trent Williams, had his leg rolled on and then had to defend Brock Purdy's blind side against one of, if not the best, edge rusher in the league, Myles Garrett.

Monday Night Football Picks: Dallas Cowboys vs Los Angeles Chargers
by Mike Allen - 10/11/2023

It is now Week 6 of the NFL regular season, and neither the Dallas Cowboys nor Los Angeles Chargers can afford a third loss this early in the season. If the Cowboys play themselves out of home-field advantage in the playoffs against San Francisco and the Philadelphia Eagles, that means they would also have to go through both teams to get to the Super Bowl.

Monday Night Football Predictions: Green Bay Packers vs Las Vegas Raiders
by Mike Allen - 10/4/2023

We are now 3-3 on our Monday Night Football predictions. That is after I wrote that I believe Seattle is the better team with betting odds of (+1.5). Then, I still chose to play the super public over 47 points bet. It didn't come close to hitting, and neither did the Giants, as the better team cruised to a 24-3 win. That one hurt. Anytime you believe you have the better team and the points, just take it. We win or we learn, though, but either way, we move on.

Monday Night Football Picks: Seattle Seahawks at New York Giants
by Mike Allen - 9/27/2023

The LA Rams couldn't match the level of the Bengals on Monday night. We were hoping that Joe Burrow wouldn't play. He did, but I don't think his play was necessarily the difference for Cincinnati. His presence under center and not wanting to start the season 0-3 led to a fired-up Bengals team that played very well.

I hope you have two TV screens, or at least a laptop, to assist in your Monday Night Football viewing experience. I thought the whole point of Monday night games was to focus solely on that game. Well, we have another 7:15 and 8:15 PM Eastern start time to the MNF slate this week.

Monday Night Football Predictions: Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
by Mike Allen - 9/20/2023

After the first two weeks of the 2023 NFL regular season, we are rapidly gaining knowledge as we view the games, read the articles, watch videos, and we can't forget about listening to some old-school talk radio. It's very tempting as we get into Week 3 to start thinking we know more than we actually do. That's the true definition of stupidity. It isn't simply not knowing. That's ignorance. Thinking you know or, even worse, believing you know a subject better than you do…

Monday Night Football Predictions: Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
by Mike Allen - 9/13/2023

That is what I love about the NFL. Division play starts almost immediately. College Football has been fun this year. We are winning our bets, but how many high-level or rivalry games have we seen thus far? In just Week 2 of the NFL, though, we are treated to a "doubleheader" of Monday Night Football action. The first game is an inter-division rivalry matchup between the Carolina Panthers and the New Orleans Saints.

Monday Night Football Picks: New Orleans Saints vs Carolina Panthers
by Mike Allen - 9/13/2023

Week 1 NFL action is now 100% in the rearview. It seemed to last a month or more because handicappers broke down those matchups for some time. We did pretty well on our picks. We had the Lions and the Cowboys come through for us, but our prediction of the Bills to win outright quickly screeched to a halt when the Jets took a punt to the house for the overtime walk-off win.

Monday Night Football Picks Week 1: Bills vs. Jets
by Mike Allen - 8/25/2023

The crew at MetLife Stadium will have to turn over the field in less than 24 hours for the first Monday Night Football game of the 2023 NFL season. The Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants take the field on Sunday night. Why would they schedule a home game the next night for the New York Jets?
