Sunday
Los Angeles Rams (-3.5) @ Miami Dolphins - Tua makes his debut and the Dolphins are coming off the bye. Look for Ramsey to slow down Davante Parker. Jared Goff may have trouble passing the ball deep so he may have to rely more upon Cooper Kupp in the slot. Whoever gets the carries between Malcolm Brown and is also due for a good game against a poor Dolphins running defense.
Tennessee Titans @ Cincinnati Bengals (+7) - Other than week 3 against the Ravens, Joe Burrows has done enough to keep games close. Unfortunately for the Bengals they have not fared well defensively and the Titans are posed to put up a lot of points who played very well against the Steelers in teh 2nd half.
New York Jets @ Kansas City Chiefs (-19.5) - 21 points is a lot of points, then again the Jets are pretty terrible and the Chiefs are very explosive. Bell goes against his former team and expect him to get redzone opportunities to exact revenge.
Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers(-5.5) - Can you believe the Vikings were favored in week one? That being said, the Vikings offense has been re-invigorated with Justin Jefferson back in the lineup. Aaron Jones is also likely to be out again. The Packers appear to have gotten back on track - while the Bucs did slow them down, the Vikings don't appear to have the defensive prowness to slow them down. Mike Zimmer 1-18-1 outdoors against above .500 teams. The windy weather favors the Vikings who have a better running game with Cook back.
Indianapolis Colts (-3) @ Detroit Lions - The Colts defense is still really good despite playing some bad QBs and they could be a little challenged down. Jonathan Taylor is facing one of the wort running defenses
Las Vegas Raiders @ Cleveland Browns (-1.5) - The Browns looked better last week without Beckham. Based on the weather, this game game should be lower scoring than normal due to 25 mile per hour winds. Both teams have solid running games but for now I favor the Browns who have a slightly better defense.
New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills (-4) - The Patriots haven't been underdogs against Buffalo in 20 years. Cam Newton needs to run well against a below average Bills defense but it should be a low scoring game.
Los Angeles Chargers (-3)(LOCK) @ Denver - Herbert playing well in the past few weeks; this Broncos defense could provide a tougher tests. The Broncos have trouble scoring without Cortland Sutton. Justin Jackson is banged with a team already missing Austin Ekeler.
San Francisco 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks (-1.5)(LOCK) - The 49ers will likely rely more on their passing game with multiple injuries to the running back position. Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle could have big games. They have an opportunity to keep it close due the Seahawks poor defense.
New Orleans Saints @ Chicago Bears (+5) - Michael Thomas is out again. The Saints offense could struggle although they could pull it out against Nick Foles who lost his last game against the Saints in the 2019 playoffs.
Pittsburgh Steelers (+4)(LOCK) @ Baltimore Ravens - The Ravens are great off of a bye but Lamar Jackson hasn't been great. Look for the Ravens to rely more upon JK Dobbins in this game especially since Edwards isn't a good passing back against the Steelers defense. The Steelers appear fully loaded defensively. The Steelers offense has a lot of options. Big Ben has passed every test so far.
Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles (-10.5)(LOCK) - Dallas appears to be a mess offensively and will be without not only Dak Presscott but Andy Dalton and will also be playing with a patchwork offensive line. The Eagles have keeping their opponents in games but often just do enough to pull off wins. It would be a disappointing if the Eagles do not blow out this division rival.
Monday
Tampa Buccaneers @ New York Giants (+12.5) - The Buccaneers defense has been playing well lately. If the Giants are unable to generate a pass rush it could be more trouble for them as Brady threw for 5 touchdowns last week. Chris Godwin is out so look for Mike Evans, Rob Gronkowski, and Scotty Miller to get involved. Leonard Fournette appears to easing himself into a bigger role over Ronald Jones.
