Turmoil has struck the Las Vegas Raiders off the field, that was definitely a catalyst in last week’s loss to the Giants. Sunday night they’ll aim to regroup at home against a Kansas City Chiefs team that still has not looked sharp offensively. Expect the Chiefs new way of winning without the glitz and glamour to continue as the Raiders back pedal further. Play the Chiefs.

The Denver Broncos are coming off one of the best outright underdog wins on the football season. They defeated the Dallas Cowboys handily and were up 30-0, before late scores by the Cowboys. Sunday, they return home to face an NFC East team for a third straight week in the Eagles. Grab the Eagles as all their wins have come on the road, and Denver’s pattern of inconsistencies hold true. Grab Philadelphia. 

The Tennessee Titans have pulled off one of the more improbable stretches in recent years. They’ve won four straight games all as underdogs against formidable opponents. Sunday, look for a difficult spot against a Saints team that is always well prepared under Sean Payton. Furthermore, the Saints have won seven straight road games on Sunday’s against AFC opponents since 2017. Play the Saints.

For Monday night football look for the Steelers to finally show an offensive push. On the season they have not scored more than twenty seven points in any game. That’s unusual to see this big of a number with a diminished offense. Yet they’ve one three in a row and have a clear edge over a Bears team struggling on both sides of the football. Take the Steelers.

The loss of Derrick Henry has drastically changed where people believe the Titans can finish on the year. A change to a running back committee that will feature Adrian Peterson, will now shift the burden on the passing game and Ryan Tannehill. Even with injury concerns at wide receiver look for the Titans to continue shining ATS. Take the touchdown underdogs. 

One of the more peculiar losses on the season happened last week as the Bengals fell to the Jets. Look for the wake up call to get the Bengals going Sunday against division rivals in the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland, which once looked like a formidable playoff team has lost it’s team identity. Take the Bengals.

The last four season the Las Vegas Raiders have been brutal out of a bye week. They’re 0-4 with an average loss of twenty one points. With the New York Giants on a short week the Raiders may get out in front early. Yet, in the second half look for the Giants to come from behind against a Raiders team that has had a multitude of off the field issues recently. Take the Giants.

The Washington Football team may have a poor record at 2-5, but all five of their losses have been against quality teams. In last week’s loss against the Packers they moved the football well, but just could not execute in plus territory. Expect better execution against a Broncos team that is not trustworthy ATS. Back Washington

The Carolina Panthers have reversed course with four consecutive losses. Prior to last week’s loss against the Giants the Panthers had chances in winnable games. Expect a game within the division for the first times since week two to help alleviate some of the Panthers woes. Take Carolina plus the points against the Falcons. 

The San Francisco 49ers find themselves in a must win situation Sunday against the Bears. A positive for San Francisco is they have been a better team on the road than at home. Furthermore, Chicago has a multitude of issues with their offense and will be without Coach Matt Nagy. Take the 49ers to cover and end their losing streak. 

The Washington Football team have surrendered twenty-nine or more points in five straight weeks. Sunday, they’ll face a Green Bay Packers team that is coming off consecutive impressive road victories. Expect an up tempo game but for Washington to finally cover against a team above .500. Take the value here on Washington.

The 1-4 New York Jets are off their bye week and will face the New England Patriots for the second time this season. In week two of their first meeting the Patriots won 25-6. Yet, the Patriots are 0-4 at home this year and are coming off a disheartening overtime loss against the Dallas Cowboys. Take the Jets as Zach Wilson shows improvements from a dismal four interception performance in their first meeting. Play Jets. 

Last Sunday, the New England Patriots found themselves down 22-9 against Davis Mills and the Houston Texans. The deficit forced the Patriots to open things up more under rookie quarterback Mac Jones. Jones responded with three drives that led to field goals and another that led to a touchdown. Look for Jones to show growth and for the Patriots to challenge a Cowboys team that has not been on the road since September 19th.

Win or lose the Cincinnati Bengals have been involved in close games. In fact four of their five games have been decided by three points or less. Expect that to be an issue against a Detroit Lions team hungry to end their winless start to the season at 0-5. Take Detroit who already has one home cover this season against an AFC North team in the Baltimore Ravens. 

The LA Chargers are coming off two statement victories over the Chiefs and in prime time over the Raiders. The common opponent victory over the Chiefs to Cleveland’s loss against Kansas City is an ATS factor. Furthermore, the Browns are on the road for the second straight week. Grab Cleveland to win this game in the trenches as they enforce a heavy ground attack with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. 

The Philadelphia Eagles have been unimpressive in three consecutive weeks. Offensively they’ve failed to generate a proper ground game to offset the inexperience of quarterback Jalen Hurts. Look for unique designs to be implemented to get the offense going, against a Carolina Panthers team that has overachieved to begin the year. Take the points with Philadelphia.

Green Bay has covered three straight weeks thanks to opportunistic plays by both the defense and offense. Sunday may be their toughest challenge yet as they’ll face a Bengals team with extra days off. Look for the Bengals problem of playing four quarters of solid football to catch up to them. Back Green Bay to win their fourth straight.

The New York Jets are coming off a huge overtime win over the Tennessee Titans. A problem for a rookie quarterback is replicating success in back to back weeks. Adding to the difficulty for Zach Wilson will be competing in London. Yet, look for the Jets to be facilitated by their defense as the Falcons continue to struggle late in games. Take the Jets. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers for the second time this year find themselves as near touchdown underdogs on the road. At 1-2, the offense has done little to support their defense. Yet, Sunday look for the Packers to show a little bit of rust after consecutive weeks of prime time games. In what may be a grind it out game take the underdog Steelers.

Throughout Russ Wilson’s career he has been able to respond when the adversity gets high. Losses against the Titans and Vikings were against teams that were extremely hungry to gain a win. Expect Russ Wilson to perform better in a road environment and get his Seahawks back to the caliber of play we expect. 

Thus far Carson Wentz battling through injuries has not been ATS friendly, as the Colts are 0-3. With a lack of preseason and being on a new team the synergy has been lacking. Yet, Miami is the type of team that leaves the door open several instances in a game. Look for the Colts defense to step up against their former Colt Jacoby Brissett. Back the Colts. 

It’s no secret that the Bears were a disaster on offense in last week’s loss against the Browns. Back home they’ll have a great opportunity to regroup within the division against the Detroit Lions. Jared Goff has been prone to poor statistical games against the Bears, which should aide the Bears offense. Take the home team.

Throughout Matthew Stafford’s career he had to endure the struggle of being apart of disappointing Detroit Lions teams. The worst loss of his career came last Thanksgiving as Tampa Bay defeated Detroit 47-7. Expect Stafford and his new teammates to rise to the occasion to showcase their new emergence as an NFC threat to the Buccaneers. Take the Rams as the home underdog.

The Atlanta Falcons have given up the most points overall in the NFL at 80, and scored the second fewest points with 31. Sunday, presents a golden opportunity for correction as Daniel Jones is just 8-21 overall in his career as a starter. Look for the Falcons to scale back the passing attack with Matt Ryan, and look to win this game on the ground. Grab the Falcons as they look to end a seven-game losing streak dating back to last year.

Even amidst a sloppy first half the Buffalo Bills blew out the Miami Dolphins, 35-0. Buffalo’s versatility on both sides of the football showcased they don’t need Josh Allen to have an A-game every week. Sunday, look for a rise in play from Allen as Washington’s defense has underachieved to begin the season. Play the Bills.

The Tennessee Titans find themselves as a sizable underdog for week two against the Seattle Seahawks. Tennessee looked woeful on both sides of the football against the Cardinals. Look for Seattle to continue to add to the misery and cast doubt on a season that many had high expectations for. Grab Seattle to cash ATS.

One of the more embarrassing losses for the Miami Dolphins last year came in the grand finale to the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo did not let up leading 35-13, and went on to score three more touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Look for the Dolphins team overall to use that as motivation as they look to derail the Bills to an 0-2 start. Play Miami.

In the non Peyton Manning era the Denver Broncos have never won a week one by more than three points. That should change in 2021 with veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Bridgewater has shown a knack for making the safe plays and putting his team in winning positions his entire career. Back Denver as the Giants continue to be a team one can fade at home. 

Just like week one of the 2020 season the Bengals are a small home underdog. Although Joe Burrow did not make it through a full season in 2020, he showed enough to believe he can take an immense leap in 2021. Additionally, the Minnesota Vikings are opening on the road for the first time since 2016. Look for a tight contest with the half point dividends for the home team. 

Perhaps no team has increased their ATS value over the past two years than the Tennessee Titans. After a 5-0 start last year they finished just 6-5 over their last eleven games. Furthermore, at home they had issues in first halves. Expect the Arizona Cardinals to give the Titans defense troubles, and for the Cardinals to get the cover on the road. 

The Dallas Cowboys slim playoff hopes have opened up thanks to a two-game win streak. Sunday, the new look Philadelphia Eagles will aim to play spoiler with rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts. Hurts has the momentum of a thrilling performance against the Arizona Cardinals. Expect his teammates to elevate their play this week. Take the road favorite in Philadelphia.

A team that has lacked cohesion all season long has been the Denver Broncos. They’re coming off the worst loss of any team in week fifteen, against a rising Buffalo Bills team. Sunday expect a turn around performance against a Chargers team that’s won consecutive games for the first time all season. Grab the value here on the underdog. 

Sunday, the Cowboys return home after three of four road games. Their struggles this season have been well-documented, and at home their ATS record is just 1-5. Look for the 49ers offense to outproduce Dallas as the Cowboys fall to 1-6 ATS at home.

The Bears finally snapped a six-game losing streak in last week’s 36 to 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. A catalyst was David Montgomery who has rushed for an average of ninety-six yards in the last three weeks. Additionally, Mitch Trubisky has won his last four starts over the Vikings. Grab Chicago to keep their momentum going. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers must attempt to complete their third game in a span of just twelve days. As difficult as that is, they also must regroup after their first loss of the season. They’ll face a Bills team that’s 5-1 at home this year and answered the bell when needed. Yet, look for Pittsburgh to hunker in defensively and cause problems for the Bills passing attack. Grab the Steelers.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers come off their bye week in need of finding their identity. Throughout the season they showed the part before losing three of their past four games. Consecutive close losses has not been indicative of their actual play. Look for the Vikings to capitalize as the pressure is squarely on the Bucs.

For the third time in four years, Cleveland and the Tennessee Titans will meet in the regular season. In the prior two matchups the Titans limited the Browns to nine points and thirteen respectively. This included intercepting Baker Mayfield three times in 2019, one of which was a pick-six. Grab the Titans and buy the hook to -4.

The tailspin season for the Bears has spun out of control with five straight losses. A defense that was a catalyst for wins early in the season has worn down. Sunday there will be opportunities for their offense, as Detroit has allowed an average of thirty-three points over their last five games. Take the Bears.

The Green Bay Packers have shown vulnerability going just 3-3 over their last six games. Sunday’s matchup against the Bears is spotlighted on Mitch Trubisky’s return as a starter. From an ATS stand point, Trubisky’s conservative play has been a bonus against Green Bay. Five consecutive matchups the Packers have never scored more than twenty-four points against Chicago, and have never won by more than eight points. Play the Bears. 

Each time the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost they’ve bounced back the following week. From an offensive standpoint they should improve, as the Chiefs defense has allowed thirty or more points in consecutive games. On a short week look for the Buccaneers to respond yet again by dictating the time of possession and winning the turnover battle. 

Over the last several seasons the New York Giants have endured the pitfalls that an organization goes through rebuilding. Prior to their bye week they had consecutive wins and appear to be turning the corner. Expect the Giants to have a similar game plan as they did against the Redskins and Eagles, by starting off fast and holding defensively. Grab the Giants to cover against a Bengals team lacking the fire power to match.

Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings may get a dose of their own medicine against the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams had losing streaks coming out of their bye weeks and were touchdown underdogs. Minnesota may be 3-0 in the division, but outside the NFC North they are just 1-5. Expect the play calling to put Dallas in a safe spot ATS as it did against the Steelers. Play the Cowboys.

A downgraded strength of schedule for Green Bay plays into the hands of the Indianapolis Colts. Defensively they rank second in the NFL, allowing an average of under two hundred passing yards per game. Expect Aaron Rodgers to press after a few miscues and for the Colts to pound the football with an under rated ground game. Take Indianapolis

Last Sunday the Bengals three-game streak of ATS covers ended against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now they’ll head on the road for a second consecutive week to face the Washington Redskins. Fifteen years separate both top picks in Alex Smith and Joe Burrow, yet it’s Burrow that has more starts in his current system. Grab the Bengals to cash as the slight underdog. 

The Vegas Raiders are coming off a thrilling final second defensive stand victory over the LA Chargers. Sunday, they have a golden opportunity to move up in the playoff race as they host the Denver Broncos. Yet inconsistency has been a trademark of the Raiders and they have not won or covered a home game since their team home debut.  Grab the Broncos as Drew Lock’s increase of better play continues. 

For the second straight week the New York Giants will face a divisional opponent off a bye week. They’ll play the Philadelphia Eagles whom they outplayed for the majority of their Thursday week seven matchup. Look for Daniel Jones to seize the opportunity to win consecutive games for the first time since his rookie debut.

The rookie burden on quarterback Justin Herbert has been steep for the LA Chargers. Blown leads has been the story and hit a low point in last week’s meltdown against the Denver Broncos. Sunday, expect a focused team against the Raiders who have won two straight road games over the Chiefs and Browns. Buy low here on the Chargers. 

The Baltimore Ravens are coming off a rare low level of play against their division rivals in the Pittsburgh Steelers. Struggling with turnovers was Lamar Jackson as the offense stalled repetitively. Facing another strong defense in the Colts will be a challenge but expect the Ravens to have success defensively. In what may be a low scoring game grab the road favorite in the Ravens. 

Sunday, the Saints will once again be without star wide receiver Michael Thomas. Although the Saints have lacked the same pedigree of years past that has not deterred oddsmakers. In each of their first seven games they’ve been favorites, which has included being road favorites three times by four or more points. In 2019 the Bears allowed a season-high thirty six points to the Saints. Grab New Orleans.

Typically a rookie quarterback hits a wall. That has not been the case for Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert. With a downgraded run game Herbert has played like a poised veteran. A lack of offense in three home games for Denver has averaged a mere thirteen points. Expect the Chargers defense to help out their rookie quarterback. Play LA. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 6-0 but have had a major schedule advantage. After four straight home games they held off a clearly sluggish Tennessee Titans team last week. A year ago the Ravens also faced an undefeated team off their bye week in the Patriots, and won 37-20. Expect great execution from the Ravens as they defeat the last unbeaten team in the NFL. Grab Baltimore.  

Sunday, for the first time in over a month the Tennessee Titans will travel on the  road to play Cincinnati. Early deficits and slow starts have been an issue in their prior road games against the Vikings and Broncos. Cincinnati may be 1-5 but they’ve came close to victories in consecutive weeks. Grab the home underdogs. 

Since his rookie season Russell Wilson is 6-1-1 life time at Arizona. Additionally the last seven seasons the Seahawks are 6-1 after a bye week, with an average margin of victory of ten points. After three straight road games for the Cardinals,  look for the Seahawks to take full advantage in Sunday night's prime time game.

The Patriots are in uncharted territories after a poor home loss against the Denver Broncos. They’ll face a San Francisco team missing their main offensive weapon in Raheem Mostert. Yet expect Kyle Shanahan to tweak his offense and former Patriot Jimmy Garrapollo to have a solid performance back where his career began. 

Each week the Dallas Cowboys appear to hit a new low, as they’ve went 0-6 ATS. In a prime time Monday night spot they did not only fall short but were blown out by the Cardinals. Now there appears to be internal issues amongst the players and coaching staff. Yet look for the Cowboys to regroup and turn things around against the Redskins. Grab Dallas.

Two teams with plenty of rest are the Buccaneers and Packers. Tampa is in a much needed spot to get a win at 3-2. Yet, look for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to continue to shine especially with a healthy DaVante Adams. Grab the Packers to win a tight one.

The Bengals are coming off scoring just three points against the Baltimore Ravens. Now they’ll travel on the road for the fourth time in five games against one of the top defenses in football. Yet look for the Bengals to revive their offense and win the battle of field position. Grab Cincinnati. 

The Atlanta Falcons remain winless at 0-5 will travel to take on the Minnesota Vikings. Throughout the Falcons woes they’ve still had slim numbers ATS from oddsmakers. In fact, four of their five games have been point spreads of three points or less. Expect the Falcons to be able to utilize the field and have a big day against the Vikings. Grab Atlanta. 

The Seattle Seahawks are one of the few teams that remain 4-0 ATS and SU. Yet, each of the past three weeks they’ve shown vulnerability. Russell Wilson’s unblemished career record of 5-0 against the Vikings combined with their hot start are over valued in this spot. The Vikings are not a normal 1-3 team and should continue to show improved play. Grab the Vikings

The Dallas Cowboys defense has surrendered a league-high 146 points. Sunday, they’ll face a Giants team that has scored the fewest points in the NFL by a wide margin with 47. Yet, the Cowboys continue to have miscues when least expected. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones stretch of losing thirteen of his last fourteen starts has ballooned this number. Grab the Giants as a steep underdog. 

The Carolina Panthers head to Atlanta off of two big outright underdog wins. Meanwhile Atlanta is one of four teams that remain winless, and likely will be without key personnel Sunday. Yet last year the Falcons were in a similar woeful position at 1-7. Two wins that catapulted them to 7-9 were over Carolina, with both wins coming by twenty points or more. Grab the Falcons to get in the win column.

Dallas is 0-3 ATS while their defense has yielded thirty-eight points or more in consecutive weeks. Although Baker Mayfield has shown strides at home, he has yet to do so on the road. In fact, the Browns have lost seven straight road games by an average of eighteen points. Grab the Cowboys

The Seattle Seahawks are not just 3-0 overall but 3-0 ATS. Led by quarterback Russell Wilson, the Seahawks are averaging a whopping 37 points per game. Sunday, they’ll face a Dolphins team that has extra days of rest from last Thursday’s win over the Jaguars. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick tends to shine the most in high-profiled games. Grab the value on the Dolphins to end the Seahawks ATS streak.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 2-0 but they’ve shown rust offensively. In the first half against the Giants and the second half against the Broncos they had issues. Houston has their backs against the walls and should be poised to put forth a great effort. Look for the Texans to hang within the number here. 

The Minnesota Vikings find themselves in a peculiar predicament hoping to avoid an 0-3 start. With all the talent that they have they’re also in a bleak position with injuries. Tennessee has been one of the better teams at making in-game adjustments and finishing off teams. Grab the Titans to squeeze by and put the Vikings to 0-3.

Sunday night the Patriots will make the long journey across the country to face the Seahawks. Can Cam Newton and the Patriots turn the offense up a few notches against the Seahawks? I believe they will and the defense will step up to the challenge against the Seahawks. Grab New England plus the points. 

Over the last eight to ten NFL games no team has been hotter ATS wise than the Kansas City Chiefs. Gauging their rising number against the Chargers is tough on a massive road line. Yet the Chiefs aren’t just an offensive team anymore. They’ve tightened up defensively as their offense gets stronger throughout games. Grab Kansas City to cruise past the number once again.

This is a late add due to Zack’s second board sweeping in the AM. He’ll take the Washington Redskins off of the Cardinals week one great win over the 49ers. Washington under Ron Rivera has opened up their offense similar to the early stages when he was at Carolina with Cam Newton. Expect both teams to thrive offensively but the Redskins to be better at execution. Grab Washington.

The Colts were flat out mis-numbered week one ATS against the Jaguars. Week two they’ll face a Minnesota Vikings team that is more talented and feels the pressure to avoid an 0-2 start. Their defense though looks a few steps slow than anticipated. Look for the crafty veteran Philip Rivers to tone down his miscues and lead the Colts to an ATS victory

The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a disappointing season in which Big Ben went down for nearly the entire year. Obvious mistimed throws are expected tonight against the Giants. But the Steelers are a hungry team going up against a young Giants team that is over matched. Grab the Steelers as the big road favorite to end their 1-8 ATS season opening streak. 

A coach and quarterback that have the most to improve upon from 2019 are the Bears Mitch Trubisky and Matt Nagy. The offense was predictable and ranked 29th in the NFL in 2019. A bright spot has been the fact that the Bears have defeated the Lions in four straight games. It may not be a pretty game but grab the Bears plus the points. 

No fans in the stands figures to be of benefit for many road teams. The Raiders return a solid offensive line and an improving defensive line. Expect the Raiders to control the trenches against Carolina. Their high youth at the receiver position also gives them an edge with zero film for the Panthers to scout. Grab the Raiders.  

Sunday, the Patriots begin a new era as Cam Newton enters as the new starting quarterback. Minus several opt out players the Patriots may have issues in the middle and latter parts of the season. Early on though expect extensive practice time to bode to the advantage of the disciplined Belichick led Patriots. Grab New England minus the points.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans will battle in an unpredicted  AFC championship game. For the Titans they are on the road for their fourth consecutive game. That takes a toll on a team but at this stage expect the Titans to override those doubts. This team defeated the Chiefs earlier this year and will be ready to attack a vulnerable Chiefs defense. Grab the Titans to keep their ATS magic going.

Off a bye week the Green Bay Packers will hope to extend a four game winning streak over the Seattle Seahawks. Remarkably Sunday’s game will mark the eighth straight year that these two have met. While Seattle has the team experience and coaching edge it’s the Packers that are healthy. Look for their home crowd and hunger of Aaron Rodgers to get to the NFC Championship to help them prevail and cash ATS. Grab Green Bay.

Consecutive years the New Orleans Saints have fell short on controversy. The first came against Sunday’s opponent in the Minnesota Vikings and was their own doing. A defensive lapse on a deep ball gave the Vikings an improbable win. That’s likely on the minds of many in New Orleans as well as the Vikings recent struggles. Yet the Vikings have the personnel and defense to give the Saints problems. Grab Minnesota on a steep line to get the cover. 

Sunday San Francisco will aim to avenge a Monday Night football loss to their division rivals in the Seattle Seahawks. In that game the 49ers settled for field goals to much and turned the football over countless times. Sunday Seattle’s conundrum at the running back position with injuries will make things interesting. Yet look for the Seahawks to respond off of last week’s clunker and keep the 49ers from gaining home field advantage. Grab the points here with the Seahawks. 

The Minnesota Vikings are the lone team in the NFL with an unblemished home record at 6-0. They’re currently peaking on both sides of the football after a stout victory over the LA Chargers. Yet the Packers have a way of getting teams to play to their pace and style. Look for the Vikings to fall into that trap and for Green Bay to keep this a winnable game ATS through the final minutes. A close result happens either way with the Packers covering. 

The uncertainty surrounding Philip Rivers future with the Chargers is high. He has not looked the same and his continuous turnovers are a big issue. Yet he has also dealt with a new coordinator and Melvin Gordon playing a shortened season. The Raiders few weeks of shine are not a reflection of their 6-8 record. Grab the Chargers to bounce back from losing four of five games. 

Remarkably the Pittsburgh Steelers have endured three different quarterbacks and still are in contention for a playoff spot. To inch closer they’ll need to stick to their bread and butter game plan. That involves offensive game management and relying on their defense. Josh Allen still played well against the Ravens but took a beating in the process. Look for the Steelers to keep drilling Allen and capitalize at home. Grab Pittsburgh.

Dallas continues to defeat themselves and now are facing a Rams team rolling. Many can argue that the Rams are clicking at levels seen in early 2018. That means Dallas can ill afford to continue to wait to make a move. Expect them to finally get going and force the Rams Jared Goff into issues seen prior to Thanksgiving. Grab the Cowboys to end their three game losing streak.

The Pittsburgh Steelers elevated level of play has been impressive on both sides of the football. Defensively they’re hindering opponents just enough to keep the offense from being uncomfortable. For Arizona the rookie woes of Kyler Murray were inevitable and showcased in last week’s blowout home loss to the Rams. Sunday look for Murray and the Cardinals to re-establish themselves and get the home cover.

The New England Patriots may only have two losses but the last weeks poor loss has high concerns.  Kansas City’s defense will likely give the Patriots offense plenty of opportunities but look for Andy Reid to continue to have regular season success over the Patriots. Expect another poor performance from the Patriots as Kansas City shines. 

After three of four road games the Seattle Seahawks schedule does not lighten up. They’ll return home to face a Minnesota Vikings team that has shown great balance on both sides of the football. Even with the Seahawks likely to not play their A-game look for their home crowd and Russ Wilson improvisational plays to push them to the home win. Grab them here on a key number.

The Rams have been exposed on both sides of the football all season long. Play calling to mask Jared Goff’s limitations has been harder with the defenses struggles. One thing we know about Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury is he is not going to shy away from play calls. Look for that to be a catalyst for a defense that will have opportunities to get turnovers on rookie quarterback Kyler Murray. On a small road number look for the Rams to prevail ATS. 

The Seattle Seahawks are coming off one of the top outright wins of the season against San Francisco. They were able to enjoy a bye week and will now put their 5-0 road record to the test against the Eagles. Philadelphia’s injury issues have put a high burden on Carson Wentz who has struggled this year against quality teams. Sunday look for a reversal as the Eagles have shown over the last several years to be one of the best late November/December teams. Grab Philadelphia 

The Denver Broncos have covered three weeks in a row. They’ll go for their fourth straight as they take on a Buffalo Bills team that’s aiming to solidify a playoff position. Look for safe calls on both sides of the football to keep Denver in this game for four quarters, and cover on a small number.

The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off one of the biggest ATS meltdowns in recent memory. The botched field goal gave the Titans new life and they stole the win. Issues around the offensive play calls and inconsistency at tailback should play into the hands of the Chargers. Expect the Chargers to continue to have key play calls minus Ken Whisenhunt and hang around in Mexico City. Grab the points.

It’s hard to argue that the Bears offense has been the worst over the last five to six weeks. The ratio of yards rushing and passing ranks towards the bottom of football in both categories. Yet defensively they should be able to be the latest to stunt the offense of the Rams. Jared Goff and company do not look comfortable. Turnovers continue to happen. Expect the Bears to capitalize in prime time. 

The Dallas Cowboys looked like a shaky team Monday Night in a road environment against the Giants. Late third they were able to turn the corner as the defensive line over powered the Giants offensive line. They’ll need a similar defensive effort to overcome an offense that has been sporadic since the first two games. Look for another poor prime time performance from Kirk Cousins and the Cowboys to cover.

The Carolina Panthers have been a team that has taken care of business against subpar teams. Sunday they’ll have a huge step up in class as they travel on the road against the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay comes in off a loss to the Chargers. In years past the offense has struggled in streaks. Look for the Panthers to have a disguised defense and enough offensively to cover the number. 

The Rams have changed their offensive philosophy. Unlike a year ago the blowouts have been toned down as the team finds their new strength. Ball control and finishing teams off has been their strength. Pittsburgh has enjoyed the benefit of not traveling on the road for nearly a month. Three straight victories and improved defense have helped masked Rudolph’s issues. Look for the Rams to spring to life and pull away in the second half. 

Preparation to change over at the key position of quarterback is never an easy change. For the Washington Redskins they’ve dealt with a plethora of injuries and off/on field issues to suffer to a 1-7 record. They’ll face a Bills team that’s been dominant at home and coming off their worst loss of the season. While Haskins has not shown promise yet this should be a good spot for safe short throws that aided the Eagles last week. Grab Washington. 

The Bears offense does not seem to have any life to it. On top of it they now have uncertainty with their kicking game. Defensively they’ve shown to be a bit worn down and will face an Eagles team returning home after three weeks on the road. Yet look for this team to find life to capture a bit of their road block from last season’s playoff loss to the Eagles. Grab the Bears. 

The Indianapolis Colts have shown their versatility all season long in ways they can win. They toppled the Chiefs, Texans, and Broncos with an array of differences other teams in the NFL have not shown. Pittsburgh’s challenges offensively are not going to go away. Where they can muster proficiency is with a defense that has shown the same trait as years past. They’re improving as the season goes on. Although Jacoby Brissett is use to being a starter this is his first year as the main guy. Expect the Steelers to pick up on game film tendencies and disrupt Brissett and the Colts offense. Grab Pittsburgh. 

The switch to Ryan Tannehill for the Titans proved right for last week. Now they’ll face a Tampa Bay team fresh off a bye week. It’ll be interesting to see how aggressive the Titans call their offensive plays against a dynamic Bucs team. Even with the Dolphins Tannehill showed he can be a streaky winner. Look for that to continue as the defense makes enough plays to keep Tannehill comfortable. 

After showing signs of life at 2-2 with Daniel Jones things have quickly changed. Three straight losses for the Giants have been caused by poor defense and Jones looking confused at times. They’ll face a Lions team that has looked great but lost in winnable games against the Chiefs, Packers, and Vikings. Expect the Giants to finally be in a game and cover Sunday.

Tough schedules are a by product of sports. The Philadelphia Eagles will embark on their third straight road game as they travel to face the Buffalo Bills. Thus far the defense has not been up for the challenge as the Eagles have given up 37 and 38 points the past two weeks. Facing the red-hot Bills is going to be a challenge but look for the Eagles to be up for the challenge. Grab Philadelphia. 

Can the Jets build off their outright win over the Dallas Cowboys? They’ll face a New England team that has been unstoppable ATS. They’ve covered every way imaginable and have extra rest from their week six Thursday win. With the Jets offense a bit more comfortable look for the Jets to have enough answers to sneak within this steep MNF spread. Grab the Jets. 

The Bears hope to shake the offensive and defensive rust exhibited in their overseas game against the Raiders. The shaky performance does cast doubt offensively with Mitch Trubisky set to return. They’ll face a stout Saints defense that’s helped boost Teddy Bridgewater to a 4-0 record. Yet expect both teams offensive limitations to bode to the advantage of the Bears. Grab Chicago.
