The NFL season has surpassed the midway point and teams are looking to make a push towards the postseason. Four teams have bye weeks, but there are still several great games to watch. In the headlined matchup, we will examine four matchups with the 49ers and the Buccaneers.
San Francisco 49ers versus Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After a 4-2 start, the Buccaneers have dropped three straight and are “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The 49ers are coming off a win over Dallas and “average” status. San Francisco is a 6.5-point home favorite with odds of 1.345 to 3.350 with an over/under of 50.5. The teams are trending in games “over” the line with a score prediction of 37-19 in favor of the 49ers with 83 percent confidence. The 49ers are a 3-start game-winner pick. Note the projection for “under” is over 96 percent. Tampa Bay is under .500 at home and the 49ers have a slight scoring differential edge. I like the 49ers to win and cover in a game “under” the line.
Philadelphia Eagles versus Dallas Cowboys
In this NFC East rivalry game, the Eagles come in “burning hot” after four consecutive wins while Dallas is “ice cold down” after three straight losses. The Eagles are “burning hot” versus “ice cold down” and are 7.5-point road favorites with odds of 1.270 to 3.9 with an over/under of 43.5. With 80 percent confidence, the Eagles are predicted to win by a score of 35-16. The Eagles have a +44 to -54 scoring differential edge, plus the Cowboys will be without Dak Prescott. Barring a bunch of turnovers, the Eagles should come away with a convincing win. I like the Eagles minus the points but pass on the over/under bet.
Pittsburgh Steelers versus Washington Commanders
After three straight wins, both teams enter the contest “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Pittsburgh is +14 to +9 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The Commanders are 2.5-point home favorites with odds of 1.667 to 2.250 with an over/under of 44.5. The teams are trending in games on opposite sides of the over/under line with a score prediction of 28-21 in favor of Washington with 83 percent confidence. The Commanders have won and covered in their last five as favorites. The Steelers are 3-1 on the road and Washington is 4-0 at home. Washington has a +74 to +68 scoring differential edge. I like the Steelers to cover in a game “under” the line.
Detroit Lions versus Houston Texans
The Lions are “burning hot” after six consecutive wins while the Texans are “average” following a recent 1-2 stretch. Detroit is a 3.5-point road favorite with odds of 1.526 to 2.600 with an over/under of 49.5. The Texans are 4-0 at home and the Lions are 3-1 on the road. Detroit has a scoring differential edge of +110 to +1 and has covered the spread in the last five as favorites. Both teams are consistently performing regarding their favorite/underdog status. The score prediction is 32-18 in favor of the Lions with nearly 87 percent confidence. I like the Lions to continue their hot play, winning and covering in a game “over” the line.
