*BEST BET WINNER*

Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals -6.

FINAL SCORE: Baltimore Ravens 17, Cincinnati Bengals 34.

Preview & Score Prediction.

On Sunday, December 29, 2013, the Baltimore Ravens will invade Paul Brown Stadium to take on the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have already clinched the division, so the Ravens are playing for the outside chance that a 9-7 record would be good enough to get them into the playoffs so that they will have a chance to defend their title. The Ravens definitely did not help their cause in their most recent game against the New England Patriots, being routed 41-7. The Ravens were never in this game. The seven points that they scored did not come until the fourth quarter, and it was answer by three consecutive touchdowns by the Patriots. The Ravens struggled on both sides of the ball. They could not get the passing or running game going and their defence could not stop the Patriots.

The Bengals are a perfect 7-0 both straight-up and ATS at home this season, winning by an average of 17.7 points per game.  In addition, while it’s somewhat of a long shot considering the Patriots are playing host to the Bills, Cincinnati still has a chance to earn a first-round bye.  The Ravens are 2-5 on the road in 2013 with a -3 turnover differential and a team passer rating of just 69.0.  Note that Baltimore is 2-9 ATS over its last 11 December games while the favorite in this series is 4-0-1 ATS over the last five meetings.

Key Trends:

• 
  
• Baltimore is 2-6 ATS on the road.
• Baltimore is 2-9 ATS over its last 11 December games.
• Bengals are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games. 
  Bengals are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games on field turf. 
  Bengals are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games in December. 
  Bengals are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU win of more than 14 points. 
  Bengals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. 
  Ravens are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. AFC North. 
  Ravens are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home. 

Predicted Score: Baltimore Ravens 20, Cincinnati Bengals 28.

                                                                                                                                  

*BEST BET LOSER*

Carolina Panthers -6.5 @ Atlanta Falcons. 

FINAL SCORE: Carolina Panthers 21, Atlanta Falcons 20.

Preview & Prediction

The Panthers have a lot to play for with a potential No.1 seed still on the line. They’ve only lost once since Week Five, and that was in New Orleans, where no visiting team has won. 

Carolina only ranks 24th in the league in total offense, but sixth in rushing and second in both total defense and run defense. On the season, the Panthers have out-rushed opponents by an average of 38 yards per game. So far this NFL season, teams that have out-rushed foes have covered the spread 60 percent of the time.

Falcons played out of their mind in near win on MNF this past week but don't expect an injury ridden team to have back to back performances like that. The Great Tony Gonzalez last game deserves to be better than this but it's just not in the cards for Atlanta this year. Best defense in NFL is the Panthers and they show why as they hold Falcons to single digits. Superman QB Cam Newton has developed into great leader and he finishes off the year with win and locks up #2 seed in NFC. In Week 17, they should add another win to their list.

Key Trends:

• 
  
• Falcons are 35-13-3 ATS in their last 51 games after allowing more than 150 yards rushing in . 
• Falcons are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. 
• Panthers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC South. 
• Panthers are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. 
• Panthers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game. 
• Panthers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a S.U. win. 
• Panthers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games in Week 17.

Predicted Score: Carolina Panthers 26, Atlanta Falcons 15.
