Hello, and Happy Monday. I hope your weekend treated you well. I know I enjoyed mine because it started with me waking up at 6 a.m. on Saturday to watch Aston Villa play soccer, and unlike what has happened the previous 134 times I've woken up that early on a Saturday to watch Aston Villa, they won this time! I didn't know it was po sible..Anyway, that kick-started a Saturday filled with a lot of fun action, and then on Sunday, I was so busy with work -- it's coach firing season! -- that I barely had time to notice all my bets losing. Seriously, though, if you followed my advice from Friday and took the over 24.5 points, you're as confused as I am, right? They scored 17 points in the first half! It was in the bag! And then they never scored again against a defense that's been bleeding points to every offense it faced all season long.Oh well, at least by the time I could settle in and watch the Sunday night game, the covered for us. We've got another primetime game tonight, and as you'll soon see, I'm excited about it. But before we get to tonight' Jose Peraza Jersey s picks, we should catch up on everything we might have mi sed today. . . . .And now we do what so few before us have done willingly and head to Cleveland. The Hot Ticket The Pick: Under 46 (-110): There is a lot about tonight's Monday Night Football game that I like, and I'm going full-steam ahead on it. Of every play available to us tonight, the under is my favorite. It's almost a perfect storm of the things I look for when it comes to the under. First of all, it's a divisional matchup, and divisional games tend to be lower-scoring because the two teams are familiar with one another. The trend only grows stronger when it's the second time those teams have faced one another that season, which is the case here. Then there's the weather. Tonight's forecast in Cleveland is calling for it to be Cleveland in December. There will be 15+ mph winds blowing through FirstEnergy Dave Concepcion Jersey Stadium, and I've repeatedly told you about the impact the wind can have on football games. It makes it harder to throw deep pa ses, and it wreaks havoc on special teams. All of which leads to fewer points being scored. Finally, the cherry on top of this under sundae (Undae?) is that Bill Vinovich is the head official tonight. We are going to see some holding calls tonight, kids.Key Trend: The under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.SportsLine's all-time No. 1 expert Mike Tierney entered this season up $3,704 on all and . More Monday Night Football Picks The Pick: 1st Half Under 22.5 (-110) --I told you I'm going full-steam ahead on this game tonight, and that includes doubling-down on the under in the first half. This play makes sense for all the same reasons it makes sense to take the full-game under. Also, for whatever it's worth Derek Dietrich Jersey to you, while these are two of the best first-half offenses in the NFL, they're two of the better first-half defenses.Baltimore ranks third in the league, allowing only 9.6 points per game before halftime. Cleveland allows 11.2 points in the first half, which has them in a tie for 10th in the NFL. While Baltimore's defense maintains that level in the second half, the Browns defense falls off a cliff after halftime (15.5 points per game, which ranks 30th). That's something to consider if you're thinking about taking the second-half under too (or the Ravens second half).Key Trend: The under is 19-7 in Cleveland's last 26 games as a home dog.The Pick: to score a TD (+163) --The Browns use both and Kareem Hunt, which would typically be frustrating to fantasy owners, but has proven to be a good split for owners of each. What we should be more concerned about tonight, however, is which backs get the touches in the red zone. Nick Chubb is priced at -110 to score a touchdown tonight. He's rushed for six touchdowns this season, and Hunt has only four. Hunt's the much better value, though, because he has 35 red zone rushing attempts this season. Chubb has only 21. In the pa sing game, the disparity is even more significant. Hunt has been targeted eight times in Alex Wood Jersey the red zone and has caught six pa ses and scored four touchdowns. Nick Chubb hasn't been targeted a single time in the red zone. In fact, the only Browns player to be targeted more often in the red zone is . In other words, Hunt is the team's red zone option. He's the best value to get a touchdown tonight.Key Trend: Kareem Hunt leads Cleveland with eight touchdowns from scrimmage this season.SportsLine's Projection Model has revealed . The DFS Rundown Your MVP or Captain -- Like I said last week when the Ravens were playing Dallas, Lamar isn't the same player he was last season, but he was the best bet in that game. It worked Jesse Winker Jersey out well then, and it'll likely work out that way again tonight. Jackson threw for two touchdowns and rushed for a third last week, and finished with 94 yards rushing. I won't be shocked if he has a similar game tonight. Plus, let's not forget that Jackson threw for 275 yards and three scores in the first meeting.Value -- With Browns tight end not expected to play tonight, that opens the door for Bryant to see more action. isn't afraid to use his tight ends, and Bryant has been the more popular tight end option behind for the Browns this season. He has 23 targets compared to Njoku's 15, though Bryant's played in three more games. If Hooper does play, I'd pivot to Baltimore's . He only needs one play to make something big happen.
