The Seahawks gained 173 rushing yards in the win over Green Bay. Minnesota (6-5-1) is coming off a loss to New England last week and has been playing pretty good defense as of late. The problem for the Vikings is that the running game continues to sputter. Quarterback Kirk Cousins makes up for much of the Vikings’ inability to run the football.
- The Patriots opened with the second-largest spread this week, starting as 9.5-point favorites against the Texans.
- “They treated this game as if they are one of those teams that belongs.”
- A win over Washington on Monday night would surely help ease the pain of what has been a long year for head coach Ron Rivera.
- The ticket count for this matchup is pretty even, with the Chiefs holding a 52-48% advantage at the time of writing.
The Giants average 77.8 rushing yards per game, 30thin the NFL. Without the ability to run the ball, teams can rush QB Eli Manning and the results produce just 16 points per game additional reading for the Giants. With their best offensive player now out, things might even get worse. If Beckham’s injury wasn’t enough, receivers Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard both left last Sunday’s game with ankle injuries.

Coach Kevin Stefanski says Mayfield is still on track to start this contest. Given the third- informative post year signal caller’s caliber of play Sunday, that may not exactly be good news for Cleveland’s fortunes. Every season, a few big favorites will lose and cause some havoc. Since the departure of stud wideout Julio Jones, Atlanta can’t seem to make up for its defensive ineptitude with offensive production. The Falcons only beat Zach Wilson and the Jets by seven last week, despite New York putting up just 230 yards. Don’t count on Tua and the Dolphins being that bad this week, or for that matter, Miami allowing Atlanta to amass 450 total yards of offense like the Jets did.

Pittsburgh’s running game, which features RB Le’Veon Bell, has not performed well thus far this season. With a big game last week, WR Antonio Brown now leads the NFL in receiving yards with 354. Brown, Bell, and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger must have a big day against the Baltimore defense to pull off a win in Baltimore. It’s no secret that the Steelers will have to shut down the Baltimore running game. The Ravens are currently fourth in the NFL in rushing averaging 142.3 yards per game.

It was also a rare cover in a favorite role for the Chiefs, who improved to 2-4 ATS with that victory. Kansas City is 4-2 to the Over to this point and this is a total that has been on the rise. The Washington Football Team has covered just once in six games so far this season. The 1-5 ATS record is pretty indicative of how poorly the Football Team has played, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Washington is 4-2 to the Over while going just 2-4 SU on the season.
Finally, the last two stand-alone games of the week on “Sunday Night Football” and “Monday Night Football” saw both the underdogs cover again. Quite a few divisional games in the mix and Jon and his team have the inside scoop on all of this week’s NFL action. The AFC East kicks things off Thursday night with Rex Ryan and the Bills visiting his old team, the NY Jets.
Robby Anderson has 40 catches for 566 yards (2nd-most in the NFL) in a breakout debut season with his new team. Christian McCaffrey likely won’t be able to return for this game, but Mike Davis has been very strong aside from a poor performance this past week against a tough Bears defense. The Saints are coming off a bye week and are averaging 30.6 points per game, the fifth-most in the NFL. All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas is expected to return this week and will be a much-needed addition to an offense that has remained effective in his absence.
