NFL Season Record: 7-5-2 (+1.36 units) - Betting 1 Unit to Win X
12:00pm cst: Atlanta Flacons vs. Detroit Lions -3.5; Total 47
The Detroit Lions are dealing A LOT of injuries. They will be without starting LT Taylor Decker and G Vaitai. This is a massive loss for any NFL team. The Falcons will be playing their first road game but it will still be indoors, which is good news. I like the way Atlanta has been playing on offense. They haven’t been perfect but Desmond Ridder has done a great job of not turning the ball over. I feel like this is a 50/50 game but I love the Falcons defense who is one of the best in the league currently especially against the pass. I’ll be taking the points with Atlanta.
Pick: Falcons +3.5 (-115) [via Caesars]
12:00pm cst: Tennessee Titans vs. Cleveland Browns -3.5; Total 37.5
This Tennessee team continues to get disrespected in the market. The Browns should not be laying more than a field goal in my opinion. They will be without Nick Chubb who is the heart of their offense. We will see how Kareem Hunt and Jerome Ford fare. I think it is Deshaun Watson who is the biggest problem for the Browns. People are already looking for holes in his contract for the team to try and get out of it. He does not look comfortable or smooth in the pocket. He looks very awkward actually. HC Mike Vrable loves being a dog especially on the road. The Browns have one of the best defenses in the NFL but the Titans are not very far behind. This should be a sloppy game, which is great for Tennessee. I love the Browns defense but I do not have faith in Watson. Too many points here for a good Titans team.
Pick: Titans +3.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
12:00pm cst: New England Patriots -2.5 vs. New York Jets; Total 35.5
It is time to put a fork in Zach Wilson. Wilson cannot move the ball downfield and it just kills the Jets offensively. The Patriots will be ready to stack the box to guard against the run forcing Wilson to throw the ball where he should get into trouble. Patriots and Billicheck are 0-2 and desperate for a win. There should also be ugly weather which should make this a nasty game that should favor the Pats. Time to buy low on the Patriots and sell any Jets shares until they find a QB.
Pick: Patriots -2.5 (-118) [via DraftKings]
12:00pm cst: Indianapolis Colts vs. Baltimore Ravens -7.5; Total 43
Anthony Richardson will be out for Indy but the ole veteran Gardner Minshew will be getting the start and should be more than formidable for the Colts. I really like the way the Colts have been playing this season especially on defense. The Ravens have not impressed and have SO MANY injuries. They have major injuries in the secondary and offensive line. Besides the QB positions those are two areas you can’t afford to have those injuries. Too many points here. I like the Colts in what should be a sloppy tight game.
Pick: Colts +7.5 (-110) [via Caesars]
12:00pm cst: New Orleans Saints vs. Green Bay Packers -1; Total 42.5
The Saints have been skating by playing at home but now must travel on the road to GB. The Packers have shown they can move the ball on offense and also have a pretty good defense. They have a couple o-line injuries but they should be fine. This is a major fade of Derek Carr who has not looked great. Two deep balls the Shaheen have saved New Orleans two weeks in a row. I really like the way this Packers team has been playing and their lone loss was very late against Atlanta. Love the Packers in this spot.
Pick: Packers -1 (-110) [via Caesars]
3:05pm cst: Carolina Panthers vs. Seattle Seahawks -5; Total 43
Look out! The Red Rifle is in town! Andy Dalton takes over for injured Bryce Young today in Seattle. These Panthers beat the Seahawks last year with Sam Darnold and QB because they were led by their defense. I think the same will happen today. Seattle may be looking pass this team but should be game after losing to them last season. A couple points too many in my opinion because of the injuries the Seahawks are dealing with and there are a lot of them. I’m holding my nose and taking Carolina.
Pick: Panthers +5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOBALL
7:20pm cst: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Las Vegas Raiders -3; Total 43
The Steelers are coming off back to back home games and now must travel after a crazy win against Cleveland where they only scored one offensive touchdown. The Raiders are coming off two straight road games and now return home to prime time. This is a great spot for an underrated Raiders team. Jimmy G has been strong so far they just need to get the running game going. I also like the Raiders defense especially with their home crowd. Time to fade this Steelers offense.
Pick: Raiders -3 (Even) [via Caesars]
