Monday Night Football Picks and Predictions

Josh Allen Buffalo Bills


by Chris Vasile - 12/27/2020

Before we get into breaking down the upcoming Buffalo/New England game on Monday night, I need to talk about what it’s like as a handicapper to put your research and methods in motion and to come up with a wager that you believe is going to cash for you. I wrote 900 words last week on why and how the Steelers are going to bounce-back against the Bengals and throttle them. I went through my usual methods and believed that the Steelers, despite laying almost two-touchdowns on the road to a division rival, were the right play.

For a second consecutive Monday night, we have a divisional showdown out of the AFC North, this time between the once undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers and the lowly Cincinnati Bengals. This game is going to have some big shoes to fill in order to duplicate the massively entertaining Ravens/Browns game we got last week. And unfortunately for bettors and football fans, I don’t see that happening.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson


by Chris Vasile - 12/11/2020

Don’t look now, but we are running hot. We’ve correctly predicted the last six Monday Night Football games, including both games last week when we took Washington plus the points and Buffalo on the moneyline. This week, we try to extend our winning streak to seven games as we have to choose from a very pivotal game in the AFC North between the Ravens and the Browns. Both of these teams come into this game having won their last game, but it’s the Browns who are among the hottest teams in the league, having won four straight contests.

COVID-19 struck again in the National Football League, this time postponing the Pittsburgh/Baltimore game that was scheduled for the primetime Thanksgiving Day slot. That game was originally pushed to Sunday, then to Tuesday, before finally taking place on Wednesday afternoon. Because of that, the Steelers Week 13 game got pushed to Monday night, which means we have a Monday night doubleheader for the third time this season. From a betting standpoint and a football fan’s point of view, the more football the better, and another double-dip on Monday night isn’t the worst thing in the world.

Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Carson Wentz


by Chris Vasile - 11/28/2020

Happy belated Thanksgiving to all my American friends out there. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday filled with tons of turkey, cold beer and winning bets. As a Canadian, I didn’t have any turkey on Thursday, but I did see a pretty massive one wandering up and down the Cowboy’s sideline disguised as a coach. Yes, that’s right, Mike McCarthy got roasted to a crisp on Thursday for his team’s effort and bonehead play calling.

If I played defense or special teams for the Chicago Bears, I would be livid with the state of the team. The defense was able to earn two turnovers against the Vikings and hold them to under 20 points. The special teams unit – aka Cordarrelle Patterson – returned the second-half kickoff 104-yards to the house to give the Bears a 13-7 lead. From there, the Bears never scored again and had four straight three and outs.

Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Kirk Cousins


by Chris Vasile - 11/13/2020

If anyone of you watched last Monday’s football game between the New England Patriots and New York Jets and are still baffled as to how the hell the Patriots won, you are not alone. Prior to the game, I wrote about 1,000 words talking about how the Patriots, specifically Bill Belichick may be better off “letting” the Jets win in order to do their part in trying to keep Trevor Lawrence (if he opts for the draft) out of the conference for the next decade.

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold


by Chris Vasile - 11/9/2020

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone and for another year we saw very little movement by way of offensive stars. Sure, some teams got the defensive help they required, but unlike in the NBA or NHL, the NFL trade deadline is usually a dud. What should be talked about however, is the posturing for draft positions for the upcoming NFL draft. There are three teams with one win and the lowly Jets with no wins on the season.

If you’re a Monday Night Football fan, the next few weeks, including last week, might be painful to watch. If the Bucs’ offense doesn’t hold up their end of the bargain in this contest, we’ll likely be in for another dull affair similar to the Bears/Rams last week. The next “good” Monday Night Football game we should see happens in Week 11 as the Rams travel to Tampa to take on the Bucs. Next week, we get the Patriots at Jets, and the following week we get the Vikings at the Bears. Not exactly must-see TV unless you have wagered on it. And if you’re reading this piece, I’ll assume you will.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff


by Chris Vasile - 10/24/2020

I think I speak for the majority of football fans and bettors when I saw that the Monday Night doubleheader is the exact thing we are clamoring for. We can do away with the Thursday night snooze fest which we witnessed this past week. The Monday night doubleheader not only gives us several additional betting options, but it gets the week going with plenty of added talking points. Last week, the Chiefs and Cardinals were both victorious on the road, and both teams covered their respective spreads.

Kyler Murray Arizona Cardinals


by Chris Vasile - 10/16/2020

COVID-19 struck again in the National Football League, this time postponing the Denver/New England game that was scheduled for Week 5 and forcing the Bills and Titans to play on Tuesday in just the second ever Tuesday night football game. The ramifications of that Tuesday game are evident here as the Chiefs and Bills saw their Thursday night game pushed to Monday night, which means this coming week we have an NFL doubleheader.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees


by Chris Vasile - 10/9/2020

Last week, when the Falcons traveled to Lambeau Field to take on the Packers, I said that we are betting the number and not the team. While I took the Falcons +7.5 and lost, I still believe it was the right side to be on. I mean, the Packers needed a three (!!) touchdown performance from Robert Tonyan (I know you googled him) to beat the lowly Falcons. At one point, the Falcons had a 20-play drive and came away with a measly three points. The Falcons should have covered that game but are simply incapable of doing anything well this season. On to the next.

Matt Ryan Atlanta Falcons


by Chris Vasile - 10/3/2020

Three Monday Night Football games, three noteworthy results. This time it was the Chiefs who made the headlines for their dominant offensive display against a Ravens’ team that just flat out didn’t have any answers on either side of the ball. It was a shocking display from the Ravens, not only because I chose them as my play for this piece, but because I thought they needed to win this game more than the Chiefs in order to have the opportunity to host the AFC Championship Game should they get there.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill


by Chris Vasile - 9/25/2020

Two weeks into the Monday Night Football schedule and fans have got to be pretty pleased with the level of play we’ve seen across eight quarters of football. Last week, the Raiders opened up their new stadium with a win against the Saints, and it was a great game from kick-off to the final whistle. I recommended a play on the Raiders +5.5, and that cashed as they didn’t even need the points, hitting as +210 moneyline underdogs.

Derek Carr Oakland Raiders


by Chris Vasile - 9/18/2020

One Monday Night Football game, one controversy. As if the 2020 season would have started any other way. Last Monday, we saw the Los Angeles Rams sneak by the Dallas Cowboys thanks to a very questionable offensive pass-interference call that went against Dallas with time running down in the fourth quarter.

Aaron Rodgers Green Bay Packers


by Trevor Whenham - 12/19/2019

There is a lot on the line for both teams in this one. Coming in, Green Bay is one of four teams atop the NFC at 11-3, and Minnesota is a game back at 10-4. The Packers have locked up a playoff spot already and can clinch the division with a win here. They need to win out to give themselves the best shot at a bye in the first week of the playoffs.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett


by Alan Matthews - 12/11/2019

Well, I have no one to blame but myself for going 0-2 on my picks for the Week 14 Monday night game between the Eagles and Giants from Philly. I didn't like Philadelphia as double-digit favorite but gave a 7.5-point alternate line instead and went over the total of 47. Sometimes, the weather absolutely should change your mind on certain picks.

Eli Manning New York Giants


by Alan Matthews - 12/4/2019

Finally got a NFL spread pick right on a Monday night game as we recommended the Seattle Seahawks giving 2.5 points against the visiting Minnesota Vikings to conclude Week 13, and Russell Wilson continued his amazing run of prime-time success with a 37-30 victory. Tale of two halves as the Vikings were up 17-10 at the break and then allowed 24 straight points before making things interesting late. Pretty shocked there were 67 points scored between two run-heavy clubs with two very good defenses; I liked the under 49.

Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Kirk Cousins


by Alan Matthews - 11/27/2019

That's it for me this season recommending backing either Los Angeles football team in a prime-time game! The Chargers burned me two weeks in a row and the Rams embarrassed me and themselves in a 45-6 hope wipeout Monday night against the Lamar Jacksons (Baltimore Ravens). It was the Rams' worst-ever loss at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and it could have easily been 62-6 had the Ravens not sat Jackson for the fourth quarter.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff


by Alan Matthews - 11/20/2019

Well, I'm done from a betting perspective with Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers for the rest of this season and probably his career - frankly, after how bad Rivers has been in back-to-back prime-time games and losses, I'm not even sure the Chargers will try and re-sign him this offseason. On Thursday in Week 10, Rivers' three interceptions and complete inability to move his team in the final minute with a full assortment of timeouts cost me a Bolts bet in Oakland. On Monday,
