THE PLAY: Kansas City Chiefs -11.0 (-110)
Take Kansas City (#284)
Even with Washington likely getting a couple of receivers back this week, they won't have Jayden Daniels behind center, and their underachieving defense is poised to get exploited by Patrick Mahomes and company. The Chiefs are as healthy on offense as they've been all year, primed to light up the scoreboard and win by margin. If I'm playin' I'm layin'. Take the Chiefs.
THE PLAY: Baltimore Ravens -6.5 (-116)
Take Baltimore (#266)
With Lamar Jackson at QB, the Ravens have won 70% of their games since 2018. Without him, they've won 25% of their games during that same span. Jackson is expected back on the field this weekend after the bye week; Chicago is as ‘fat and happy’ as it gets after notching four consecutive victories. Chalk worth laying. Take the Ravens
THE PLAY: Dallas Cowboys +3.5 (-119)
Take Dallas (#279)
The Broncos have covered a grand total of ONE pointspread as a favorite all season – beating Cincinnati with Jake Browning behind center. We've seen this ultra-hyped Denver defense get lit up by the Colts, Chargers and Giants in recent weeks; bad news against this explosive (and healthy!) Cowboys offense. I'm not convinced Denver is primed to reel off a five game winning streak, and if they do win, I'm not convinced it'll come by any sort of margin. Take the Cowboys

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.
