THE PLAY: Pittsburgh Steelers +2.5 (-105)
Take Pittsburgh (#241)
The difference between Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph in my power ratings is exactly half of a point, and I might be giving Rodgers too much credit! Not worried as to whcih QB Mike Tomlin's squad lines up behind center here; and I'm interested in fading the Bears off three straight ‘down to the wire, balls to the wall’ wins over the last three weeks. Live dog! Take the Steelers.
THE PLAY: Dallas Cowboys +3.0 (-105)
Take Dallas (#262)
The Cowboys moved the football up and down the field in the first meeting between these two teams this season. If it wasn't for a trio of key Cee-Dee Lamb drops, Brian Schottenheimer's squad probably would have won the game. With Philly's offense continuing to struggle, look for the Cowboys to be ‘live dogs’ again here, just like they were back in Week 1. Take the Cowboys.
THE PLAY: Kansas City Chiefs -3.0 (-121)
Take Kansas City (#254)
It's circle the wagons time for the 5-5 Chiefs, currently on the outside looking in at the AFC Playoff picture. They're catching Indy off an OT win in Berlin against the Falcons and a bye week. But Indy lost defensive line stud DeForest Buckner to injury, and their secondary is still banged up as well, bad news against a KC squad with something to prove on Sunday… and the talent to prove it. Take the Chiefs.
THE PLAY: Florida +4.5 (-115)
Take Florida (#137)
Tennessee has made crucial mistakes at inopportune times; costing them multiple games this season – mistakes like the 99 yard pick six before halftime against Alabama, for example. The Gators defense has been adept at forcing opposing teams to MAKE mistakes. That makes Florida a live home dog in the Swamp on Saturday Night - expect a battle, not a blowout.

Consultant Bio
Ted Sevransky (better known as Teddy Covers) moved to Las Vegas to bet on sports full-time back in 1998 and he's been doing it successfully ever since. During that time, Teddy has been featured prominently in the mainstream press. Print highlights include the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Las Vegas Review Journal and Playboy magazine. Television highlights include CBS This Morning, CNBC, PBS and Bloomberg TV. Teddy starred in the recent sports betting documentary Life on the Line and has been featured in an ESPN 30-for-30 and on Showtime's 'Action' miniseries.
Teddy is a 1992 University of Michigan graduate. His handicapping approach is fine tuned for the modern betting marketplace in 2025; a market that is dominated by stat-based quants - the ‘sharp money’. In one sentence, Teddy looks to identify and identify and isolate 'morphing' teams -- teams that are currently playing at a different level or pace (better or worse; faster or slower) than their long term statistical profile would indicate. Those become teams to bet on, bet against, bet over and bet under, until the quants catch up with current realities and value them correctly.
This ‘Ride the Hot & Fade the Cold’ approach has allowed Teddy to provide for himself and his family with steady income from his sports betting winnings, over nearly three decades. And those decades of experience grinding it out in Vegas enables Teddy to avoid many of the traps and pitfalls that befall ‘cappers. Experience DOES matter in this business. Teddy is one bettor who can handle the highs and lows of this sometimes zany and always exciting business with consistent, calm professionalism.
