For my best free pick on the board here for Sunday in NFL action I am looking at the Atlanta Falcons hosting the New Orleans Saints. Saints big time public dog in my opinion as the masses have seen a big improved play from this Saints crew and their is no doubt about that but at home to end the season its never easy to go into Atlanta and win a game and this team should be fired up here and so will Kirk Cousins as he tries to show the rest of the NFL he is still a starting QB. Atlanta 3 straight wins 3 straight covers add another one to their cover sheet here on Sunday.
Play on the Atlanta Falcons minus the points rotation #358

By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.
Our models suggest that the value is on the Over. The Over is 4-1 in Memphis' last 5 games. The Over is 11-5 in LA Lakers' last 16 games.
Doc's Sports
Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #335 Green Bay Packers over Minnesota Vikings (1p.m., Sunday, January 4 CBS) Green Bay is locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC Playoffs and thus the experts are expecting them to rest a lot of players in this game. Minnesota is still very weak at the quarterback position, and I am not sure this is a good spot for them laying this many points against a divisional opponent. Does Green Bay really want to enter the playoffs getting blown out in this game making it 4 straight losses? I think they will play some key players and be able to take this game down to the wire.

(Free Play Over) The Falcons offense has been playing much better down the stretch. The pass catchers have gotten healthy and Kirk Cousins has been improving. I've really been impressed with Tyler Shough for the Saints. The Saints aren't lacking playmakers on the outside either. They couldn't cash in when they got into the red zone in the first meeting, but they should be better here. We're on the over.
(4-0 sweep on Friday. 5-0 sweep on Saturday. 9 straight winners. 16-2 last 18 plays for Info Cash! AFC North ATS Game of the Year is up for Sunday. A CBB Totals Trio as well. Hop on board!)

Fading bad defenses off a win continues to pay—189–133–5 long term. This is also a classic big-dog setup with a volatile quarterback profile. Shedeur Sanders brings a wide range of outcomes, and that uncertainty is exactly where value is created. When square bettors and oddsmakers hesitate, professionals press the edge. Getting more than a touchdown in this profile has delivered consistently for years.
The results continue to validate the process:
· 7–2 Saturday, now 217–165 since October
· NFL sweep with Seahawks and Panthers, pushing the NFL mark to 59–33
· Six NFL plays on the card, including three highest-rated Wise Guys
· Headlined by Sunday Night Football: AFC Game of the Year
· 2 ET college basketball side added
· College hoops: 62–33
This is not momentum chasing. It is structured pressure built on advanced analytics, AI modeling, precise timing, power ratings, and situational leverage. No guesswork. No emotion. Just repeatable edge execution.
Get locked in and stay aligned with Wise Guy–level performance.
Stephen Nover
Denver is 1-1 since Nikola Jokic went down with a knee injury. The Nuggets beat the Raptors and lost to the Cavaliers by five points in those games. This is Denver's easiest game since losing Jokic.
The Nuggets have good depth and could be getting some of their rotation players back. The Nets have given up 119, 120 and 120 points during their past three games. Brooklyn ranks 25th in defensive field goal percentage and 24th in 3-point defense.
Denver is the top scoring team in the NBA. Sure Jokic was a huge reason why. But the Nuggets have six other players scoring in double figures. This is a good opportunity for the Nuggets' role players to shine against the 10-22 Nets.

Jack Jones
Jack's Free Pick Sunday: Buffalo Bills -7.5
The Buffalo Bills were really pissed off when they lost to the Eagles at home last week. They want to get that sour taste out of their mouths heading into the playoffs, and they still have AFC wild card seeing to play for. That's evident by the fact that head coach Sean McDermott will play his starters.
Josh Allen and the entire Buffalo offense is healthy and ready to go with the exception of TE Dalton Kincaid, who is listed as questionable. And there's no question that the Bills are going to hang a big number on what is one of the worst defenses in the NFL right now in the New York Jets.
The Jets are 0-4 SU & 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall with all four losses coming by 23 points or more. They are clearly tanking and would be better off losing this game too, and they know it. They have allowed a whopping 38.3 points per game in the four losses. Even poor offenses like Miami (34 points) and New Orleans (29) made easy work of them.
The Jets have been a mess defensively since trading away Quentin Williams and Sauce Gardner. They have since lost they next best defender in DE Will McDonald. They have 12 defenders either on IR or out for this one. Their starting CB's last week in Stiggers (out) and Stephens (questionable) could both miss.
The injury situation isn't much better on offense, either. You know both Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor could have returned to action, instead they have both been out with 'injuries', so the Jets have gone with rookie 3rd-stringer Brady Cook. That experiment has been a disaster with Cook averaging just 5.2 yards per attempt on 131 attempts with a 1-to-7 TD/INT ratio.
Of course, he doesn't have much help either with the two beast weapons in WR Garrett Wilson and TE Mason Taylor out. Now the top two RB's are likely out with Breece Hall questionable and Isaiah Davis out for sure. Hall reportedly suffered a knee injury after getting his 1,000 yards last week. I'm guessing they are going to sit him and keep this tank going.
I know the Bills could pull starters especially if they get a big lead by halftime, but I don't think it matters. This New York offense is incapable of coming back. I also think the Bills have one of the best backup QB's in the league in Mitchell Trubisky, and he will keep the points coming if he gets in there.
This will be similar to the 30-10 beat down by Buffalo in the first meeting when the Bills outgained the Jets 403 to 154, or by 249 yards total yards. The Bills also won the final meeting last year 40-14 in Buffalo. I really like the Bills -1.5 in 6-point teasers with the Bengals -1.5, the Rams -2.5 and the 49ers +8.5 at current lines as of this writing Friday night. But I'm willing to lay the -7.5, too. Bet the Bills Sunday.

Dave Price
Dave's Sunday Free Play:
1* on Lions/Bears OVER 50.5
The Key: The Chicago Bears are coming off a 42-38 shootout loss to the San Francisco 49ers. They have one of the best offenses in the NFL, but also one of the worst defenses. The Detroit Lions fit a similar profile. The Lions are 3rd in scoring offense at 28.9 PPG. Both teams are a lot healthier on offense than they are on defense right now. The Lions are without DT Alim McNeill, LB Alex Anzalone and basically their entire starting secondary. The Bears have a poor secondary that was exposed by the 49ers last week. They lost LB Noah Sewell to injury in that game and he's on IR now. The Bears yielded 496 total yards to the 49ers. They yielded 511 total yards to the Lions in a 52-21 loss in their first matchup this season that saw 73 combined points. The weather looks good for another shootout in the rematch with temps in the 30's, no wind and no rain in Chicago Sunday. Take the OVER.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Houston Texans -10
The Houston Texans are 8-0 SU & 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall to pull within one game of the Jacksonville Jaguars for the AFC South title. They are still alive for it with a win, and they can improve their seeding in the wild card with a win, too. They have a lot to play for still and will be playing their starters. I think they want to keep this run going and will make easy work of the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts are 0-6 SU & 2-4 ATS in their last six games overall. They have officially been eliminated from playoff contention. Now Philip Rivers will sit and give way to rookie Riley Leonard to make his first career start. It wouldn't come against a tougher defense than Houston, which has the top-ranked stop unit in the NFL. Leonard is averaging only 4.4 yards per attempt on his 33 attempts with 2 INT's without a TD. The Colts will sit Sauce Gardner and are without several of their best defenders. They gave up 48 points to the 49ers two weeks ago and 371 yards to the Jaguars last week. The Texans had 364 yards on the Colts in their first meeting this season. Give me the Texans.

BIG Sunday card up with our Final Game Side of the Year, 2X Perfect SNF, 2 Top Totals and Hoops. Comp play below.
The NFL Comp play at 1 eastern is on the New Orleans Saints. The Falcons are in a nasty last game of the season system that plays against home favorites off a home dog win in divisional games. These teams have failed to cover all 7 times since 1990. These games are usually very tight. Atlanta is off a massive upset win over the Rams on Monday night and could bounce a bit here. The Saints on the other hand are playing hard and have won and covered 4 straight. We will take the points here with New Orleans. GL RV

Cowboys vs Giants
1 EST, Sunday
5-Unit bet on the Giants priced as 3-point home underdogs.
I am lacking confidence that the Giants QB will play the whole game, so be sure to check the latest news between now and kickoff. I have heard just one quarter and even one series, but if it is unknown at kickoff, don’t bet more than 3 units. Still, the betting system supporting the opportunity has produced exceptional results over many seasons and all of what we do now is priced into the market - just like in stocks and commodities trading.
The following NFL betting algorithm has compiled an outstanding 21-23 SU, and 32-11-1 ATS for 74% winning bets since 1990 or 35 seasons of action.
The game occurs over the past 4 weeks of the regular season.
Bet on home underdogs that won five or fewer games in their previous season.
They have won no more than 33% of their games this season.
The opponent allows more rushing yards per attempt than they have gained.

Green Bay at Minnesota 1:00 ET
Vikings (-) over Packers - Minnesota is making a decent meaningless run having won the last four as the Packers are losing their last three. The Packers are locked in playoff position (#7) and motivation could be questioned as reflected in the Vikings being over a TD favorite. The Packers QB’s Love and Willis are hurting and Layton Tune (?) will start. Take MINNESOTA!
Ray Monohan
Patriots -11.5
The Pats are worth a move. New England has the edge on both sides of the ball over the Dolphins and Miami is already looking ahead to next season. Off a huge upset win, they still have had a ton of issues on the road and their injuries are just too much to overcome. The Pats are red hot and this offense will pick apart this Dolphins secondary. Lay the points. My daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Tonight’s FREE selection is a strong lean on the PATS -11.5. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray

Sean Murphy
Sunday NFL Free play. My selection is on Minnesota minus the points over Green Bay at 1 pm et on Sunday.
The Packers are in danger of getting shut out on Sunday as they turn to third-string quarterback Clayton Tune against a red hot Vikings defense. Minnesota has endured a disappointing season and is in a state of flux at the quarterback position moving forward with J.J. McCarthy likely to be embroiled in a competition for the starting job next season. With that being said, McCarthy has played reasonably well in recent weeks, has a healthy receiving corps to distribute the ball to, and will be facing a host of Packers backup defenders on Sunday. We'll lay the points with the Vikes as they should control this game from start to finish. Take Minnesota.
Mike Lundin
Lions vs Bears NFL Free Pick
The Angle: Though eliminated from playoffs, the Detroit Lions still have pride on stake in this divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears, who are locked into the NFC North title but playing for seeding. After dropping back-to-back games as favorites, I think the Lions will now thrive as no-pressure underdogs.
The Bet: LIONS (1%).
Ricky Tran
Ricky's 1* play on Under.
Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.
- The Under is 14-6 in Connecticut's last 20 games.
- The Under is 5-1 in Connecticut's last 6 games against Marquette.
- The Under is 15-5 in Connecticut's last 20 games when playing as the favourite.
Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.

Dan Kaiser
There are a lot of angles in this NFC North matchup. Chicago is looking for revenge from the drubbing it took in week two, when the Lions put up 55 on the Bears. The weather is going to be cold, so you have the dome team playing outdoors, and Goff is not as good in the elements. Johnson holds grudges and is not afraid to run up the score. He wants to show his old team what they are missing. Detroit will be playing for pride and would like to keep thier rivals from the no. 2 seed if possible. I would like to see this line at 3. The Bears are going to look to make a statement in this game, and the Lons will look to finish the season on a high note.
