Lions +3
The Lions are on a 2 game winning streak and have been playing teams close lately. Their offense has proven that it is able to put up a good amount of points many times throughout the season and has kept up with other talented offenses. The Giants are 7-2, but their offense still relies on Saquon Barkley heavily and has not shown that they can light up the scoreboard, as they score and win games in a more methodical way (This season their score totals have been 21,19,16,20,27,24,23,13 and 24). While the Lions defense is not great, their offense should be able to keep them competitive in this game and they should cover, and I would not be surprised if they won outright as well.
Bears +3
The Bears and the Falcons are two teams that are not very good. Neither defense is anything special, and while the Bears have not been able to win much lately, their offense has been playing well and this week is a great opportunity to get a win. The Falcons offense looked bad in their previous game, and while it should look better this week, I am more confident in the Bears offense playing well. Justin Fields has been running all over teams and his passing has improved as well. Also, the Bears get to play in Atlanta’s dome, which will suit the offense well.
Cowboys Vikings over 47.5
The Cowboys defense started the season off playing well, but lately they have not been as good and have shown where they can be vulnerable. They are not great at stopping the run and their secondary has shown weaknesses. Although, I like their offense against the Vikings and think they should be able to put up points. The Vikings are a very good team, but they are not perfect, and can definitely give up some points to a talented offense like the Cowboys, who should also be getting Zeke back this week. The Vikings offense should be able to run the ball on the Cowboys and I also expect Justin Jefferson to have a big impact on the game, as he often does. This should be a competitive game with some scoring to it, and I am very excited to watch. Also, I will likely be betting on a good amount of offensive player props in this game, so stay tuned.
Raiders +2.5
The Raiders have definitely underachieved this season, but they have still played well at times this season and I like some aspects of their team. As for the Broncos, they have also underachieved, specifically their offense. The Broncos defense is actually very good and has kept the team competitive, but the offense has been so terrible that I could not bet on this team to cover a -2.5 spread. I am aware the Raiders have blown some big leads and are 2-7, but I have more confidence that they can cover and win this game than I do in the Broncos winning this game. Also, the raiders were able to beat the Broncos 32-23 earlier this season, but there are key injuries on both teams since then, so take the first matchup result with a grain of salt. Ultimately, I like the Raiders more in this game.
Always remember to bet responsibly.
