The home team went 7-8-1 against the spread, while the favorites went 7-8-1 ATS\u00a0as well. We are off to a good start with a 2-1 record ATS\u00a0on last week\u2019s top picks. <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>After once again digging deep into the numbers for this week\u2019s games, the following is a brief betting preview and prediction for our top three games on the schedule. <\/p>\n<p>All odds quoted are courtesy of <a title=\"Sportsbooks\" href=\"\/sportsbooks\/\"><strong>Bodog SportsBook<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Sunday, September 18<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Chicago Bears at New Orleans Saints (-6.5)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Over\/Under: 47<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Bears stunned the Falcons in Week 1 with a 30-12 pasting as one-point home underdogs. They take to the road against another NFC South opponent, where they are 4-1-1 ATS\u00a0in their last six road games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five games against the NFC.<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans came up one-yard short in its 42-34 loss to Green Bay as a 4.5-point road underdog. The Saints are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games following a SU loss, but just 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a favorite. <\/p>\n<p>The underdog in this series is 5-2-2 ATS in the last nine meetings and the total has gone \u2018over\u2019 in the last four. Chicago continues to play surprisingly well on offense, but it is not enough to pull off a second straight upset. <strong>The Pick: New Orleans 24\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chicago 20<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Baltimore Ravens (-6) at Tennessee Titans<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Over\/Under: 38<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Ravens are still flying high after completely dismantling their nemesis in a 35-7 rout of Pittsburgh as a one-point home favorite. A letdown could be inevitable, but they are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a road favorite and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall.<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee is looking to bounce back from a tough 16-14 loss to Jacksonville as a one-point road underdog. It is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a home underdog, but just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games overall.   [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The Titans are 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS in their last five games against Baltimore, but the Ravens are 7-2 ATS in their last nine trips to Tennessee. The total has stayed \u2018under\u2019 in six of the last eight meetings. Baltimore is looking to build some momentum and its defense is no match for a Titan\u2019s offense that only managed 292 total yards against the Jaguars. <strong>The Pick: Baltimore 16\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tennessee 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dallas Cowboys (-3) at San Francisco 49ers<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Over\/Under: 42.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dallas quarterback Tony Romo is already coming under fire for a couple of costly mistakes in a 27-24 loss to the Jets, but his team still covered as a 6.5-point road underdog. The Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games overall.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers escaped with a 33-17 victory over Seattle as a six-point home favorite after Ted Ginn returned a kick-off and a punt for scores late in the fourth quarter. San Francisco is 1-6 ATS in its last seven games following a SU win and 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 games following an ATS win.<\/p>\n<p>The home team is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings and the total has gone \u2018over\u2019 in the last five games of this series. Romo tightens things up this week as the Cowboys even both teams\u2019 record at 1-1 with the win. <strong>The Pick: Dallas 27\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 San Francisco 17<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CHECK OUT OUR <a href=\"\/forums\/nfl-football-betting\/\"><strong>NFL football betting forums<\/strong><\/a> today!
