FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SUNDAY, 12/1:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Sunday night is with the San Antonio Spurs plus the points versus the Sacramento Kings. San Antonio (10-9) saw their four-game winning streak snapped in a 119-101 loss at home against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. The Spurs have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 8 games when playing with three or more days of rest. This is just their fourth game since November 22nd — and they have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games when playing for no more than the fourth time in the last ten days. Sacramento (9-11) has lost five of their last six games after their 115-106 upset loss at Portland as a 7-point favorite on Friday. The Kings have failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games at home. They have also failed to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 9 games when favored by 3.5 to 9.5 points. Take San Antonio plus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

At 8:20 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the San Francisco 49ers (481) plus the points versus the Buffalo Bills (482). THE SITUATION: San Francisco (5-6) has lost three games in a row after their 38-10 loss at Green Bay as a 6-point underdog last Sunday. Buffalo (9-2) comes off their bye week on a six-game winning streak after their 30-21 win against Kansas City as a 2.5-point favorite two weeks ago on November 17th.

REASONS TO TAKE THE BILLS PLUS THE POINTS: This situation reminds me of the Sunday Night Football game three weeks ago when Detroit traveled to Houston and most of the betting public was on the Lions — and it also reminds me of the Monday Night Football game the next night when the betting public was all over the Los Angeles Rams at home against Miami. In both instances, the underdog covered the point spread to the dismay of the majority of bettors. The 49ers are ugly right now. Brock Purdy is playing through a shoulder injury and the team is riddled with injuries most notably left tackle Trent Williams and pass rusher Nick Bosa. But we bet numbers — not teams — and it is probably too much to ask for the Bills to win this game by more than six points. San Francisco still has plenty of good players — and they will be playing this game with desperation. The 49ers have not covered the point spread in three straight games — but they have then covered the point spread in 7 of their 9 games under head coach Kyle Shanahan after failing to cover the point spread in three games in a row. They have covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after allowing 30 or more points in their last game. Additionally, they have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 8 games on the road against teams with a winning record — and they have covered the point spread in 14 of their 23 games in the Shanahan era on the road as an underdog getting up to seven points. They have also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games in December. Buffalo may come out flat after the extra week off to rejoice in their triumph against their white whale in the two-time Super Bowl champion Chiefs. As it is, the Bills have failed to cover the point spread in 12 of their last 19 games after a straight-up win at home — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 4 straight games at home after winning their previous game at home. They have also failed to cover the point spread in 11 of their last 17 games after winning three or more games in a row. The Bills are dealing with their own injuries on offense with tight end Dalton Kinkaid out for this game and wide receiver Keon Coleman questionable.

FINAL TAKE: Buffalo has failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games at home against teams from the NFC. 10* NFL Sunday Night Discounted Deal with the San Francisco 49ers (481) plus the points versus the Buffalo Bills (482). Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 8:20 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the San Francisco 49ers (481) and the Buffalo Bills (482). THE SITUATION: San Francisco (5-6) has lost three games in a row after their 38-10 loss at Green Bay as a 6-point underdog last Sunday. Buffalo (9-2) comes off their bye week on a six-game winning streak after their 30-21 win against Kansas City as a 2.5-point favorite two weeks ago on November 17th.

REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: This was a tricky one to handicap since my initial take was to lean to the Over since both these teams tend to play in higher-scoring games. But both the weather and injuries play a big role in assessing the over/under number for tonight’s game. It will be cold with the temperatures dropping into the mid-20s. There is a 77% chance of precipitation so some snow is likely — but snow often helps the offense since it impairs the ability of defenders to react to playmakers. Dan Marino was quoted as saying: “If it’s snowing, I’m throwing.” Wind can be a problem. The afternoon forecast for this evening projects winds at 11 miles per hour which is not too bad. But wind gusts of up to 29 MPH are also expected — and that is a problem. The biggest argument that convinced me to endorse the Under is the injury situation. San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy is expected to play tonight — but I do not like what is going on with the mysterious shoulder injury that kept him out of last week’s game. He may not be close to 100%. The 49ers are also without two starting offensive linemen with left tackle Trent Williams and left guard Aaron Brooks out. The loss of Williams is devastating as he is the best left tackle in the world. In the two games Purdy played without Williams last season, he had two touchdown passes and four interceptions — and the Niners only scored 17 points in both games. Their offense has already been slowed down by the season-ending injury to wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Running back Christian McCaffrey is back after missing the first eight games of the season — but he does not appear to be at full strength as he is generating only 3.5 Yards-Per-Carry and has yet to score a touchdown. The Niners are scoring only 16.7 Points-Per-Game since McCaffrey returned — and they have scored no more than 18 points in three of their last five games. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is dealing with several injuries on the defensive side of the ball as well, with the biggest loss being Nick Bosa. Given all this, I expect Shanahan to shorten this game by running the football and leaning heavily on McCaffrey to carry the offense. Shanahan has not found himself in a situation like this often — and the past results are telling. In his career as the head coach for San Francisco, there have been 23 games when the 49ers were on the road as an underdog getting up to seven points — and 16 of those games finished Under the Total. The 49ers have played 16 of their 24 games in the Shanahan era Under the Total after allowing 30 or more points in their last game. Furthermore, in their 14 games after a loss by 14 or more points under Shanahan, they have played 11 of these games Under the Total. Buffalo is dealing with their own injuries on offense with tight end Dalton Kinkaid out for this game and wide receiver Keon Coleman questionable. Their defense may be bolstered with the return of linebacker Matt Milano who has yet to play this season — he is listed as questionable. The Bills have not allowed more than 21 points in five of their last six games. They are allowing only 286.0 total Yards-Per-Game at home which is resulting in 19.2 Points-Per-Game. Buffalo has played 13 of their last 21 games Under the Total with the Total set in the 42.5-49 point range. They have also played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total against teams from the NFC. San Francisco is averaging 6.5 Yards-Per-Play and 384.8 total YPG this season. The Bills have played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total against teams who generate 5.65 or more YPP — and they have played 6 of their last 9 games Under the Total against teams who average 350 or more YPG.

FINAL TAKE: I expect the 49ers to rely on their ground game which generates 4.9 Yards-Per-Carry against a vulnerable Bills defense that surrenders 4.78 YPC. San Francisco has played 4 of their last 5 games on the road Under the Total against teams who allow 4.5 or more YPC. Buffalo has played 10 of their last 14 games Under the Total against teams who generate 4.5 or more YPC — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games at home Under the Total against these teams. 25* NFL Non-Conference Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the San Francisco 49ers (481) and the Buffalo Bills (482). Best of luck for us — Frank.
