The NFL season has reached the halfway point and divisional and conference races are heating up. There is a full slate of games for this weekend with the Buccaneers at the Saints the featured matchup.

In the NFC South battle, the Buccaneers enter with a 6-1 record and face the 4-2 Saints. Both teams are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator and Tampa Bay has a +29 to +18 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator. Tampa Bay is a 5.5-point favorite with odds of 1.410 to 2.868 with an over/under of 50.5. The Totals Predictor shows that the teams are trending in games on opposite sides of the line. The Score Predictor has the Buccaneers winning by the score of 31-20 with 66 percent confidence. Note that the Buccaneers have been more stable, coming in at +6 to -2 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Buccaneers to win and cover but avoid the over/under.

Pittsburgh is “burning hot” and +10, respectively. The Browns are a 3.5-point home favorite with odds of 1.510 to 2.542 with an over/under of 42.5.

Both teams enter play in the AFC South clash with “burning hot” status on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Titans have a +25 to +8 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Indianapolis is a 2.5-point home favorite with odds of 1.750 to 2.050 with an over/under of 50.5. The Score Predictor has the Titans winning by a 34-25 margin with 48 percent confidence. The Totals Predictor is in line with a high-scoring game since both teams have been involved in games trending “over”. Tennessee has been very inconsistent with regards to their favorite/underdog status, while the Colts have been very consistent. I like the Colts to cover, betting “over”.

I like the Cowboys to win and cover, but avoid the over/under bet.
