Texans (+8.5) vs. Jaguars

I’m going back to the well with Houston again this week. These divisional games are always tight and I think this will be no different. Jacksonville is going to be a popular survival pool pick this week, but I think I’m staying away from them this week because I like Houston a lot here. As bad as they’ve been they’ve played the Jags tough in recent years. I expect that to continue. Let’s here it one time for my boy CJ Stroud. Texans cover, sprinkle the ML if you’re feeling frisky too.

Falcons (+3) vs. Lions

Even though they burned me last week I like the Falcons again. Desmond Ridder is not the answer at QB, but he’s at least been able to keep them in games and they have a 2-0 record to show for it. I’m betting against the Lions hype train again as well. I can see Atlanta putting up a ton of points this week on a Detroit defense that got gashed by the Seahawks last week. If you can buy this line up to 3.5 without killing your payout I like it even better. In fact, that’s probably what I’ll end up doing. Could also be another ML sprinkle candidate depending on the payout. Either way Atlanta covers.

Panthers (+5.5) vs. Seahawks

Yup, that’s right another road dog. This is a sell high spot on Seattle. They’re coming off a huge win in Detroit last week and they’re facing a backup QB? Seems like it should be an easy win, but they should not be getting this many points. I’m not sure if I’m comfortable enough to throw something on the ML here, but this is a team that kept it within 3 with New Orleans on Monday. I don’t think there’s much of a difference between them and Seattle. I also don’t think Andy Dalton gives you that much less than Bryce Young right now. If you can get the Panthers up at 6 or 6.5 I like it even better.

Steelers vs. Raiders (-2.5)

So after I lose all my money I’m going to need some juice on the Sunday Night game. I’m also going against my road dog “strategy” from earlier and riding with the home favorite. Just like I’m selling high on Seattle I’m doing the same with the Steelers. I typically bet Mike Tomlin as a dog, but I don’t love them Sunday night. The Raiders are a bit more alive than people thought they’d be too and Jimmy G finds ways to win games like this. I’m also buying low on them after getting blown out last week vs. Buffalo. Give me the Raiders to finish off my Sunday with (hopefully) a winning record.
