The Raiders are destined to bat leadoff in the '26 NFL Draft, meaning both the Giants and Titans will win one of their remaining games. NYG will beat LV next week, while TEN will beat KC straight up today.
I know that TEN sucks, but KC is staggered right now. The O-line is in tatters, they have no running game, and the only viable passing targets for Minshew are (bust?) Xavier Worthy and the ghost of Travis Kelce. Key injuries are peppered along the KC defensive depth chart. TEN 20 KC 17
Judkins under 66.5 Yds - 2 OL out, Sanders no Pass threat + Bills best DB back, +10 spread/script. I just don't see it.
Titans +7 teaser w many. KC favored on RD? 1-5 this year + Injuries + Minshew + Tank?. TEN 0-7 at home that is why +7
CIN -2.5 teaser w many. Burrows+Chase,Higgins,Brown vs MIA Ewers yikes. Archane can maybe blow this up but I am from Texas, he is scared under pressure. Yeah CIN D isn't great but underrated IMO - 3,4,3 Sacks last 3 weeks.
LAR over 20.5 LAR ML Also, Teased LAR +3 wCHI +7, PHI ML, Chargers +4 combos
LAR on a heater, Scored 41,45,28,34,21,42,34,35 last 8 weeks but yes no DA has some impact. Have doubts about SEA D played Rivers, Cousins, Max Bro, Ward. + No best OL Cross, No Run Game, Darnold+LAR pass rush + Suck at being pressured + Windy/Rain day.
Sharps pushing this to SEA -2 today. I must be missing something - Maybe the delayed LAR flight has impact?
You are missing the 12th man! That place is going to get crazy if the Rams don't keep them quiet by controlling the game. Plus Sam threw four picks in the 1st game and only lost by 2.
I'm with you. Rams are the right side, even with Adams OUT. (For what it's worth, Adams only had 1 catch for one yard last time these teams met.)
SEA cannot establish the run. Cross is OUT. Darnold falls apart under pressure, while Stafford is gunning for MVP. The only hope for SEA is a completely dominant defensive performance.
Matt -- try to find out how many games of the 330 games he started which he only threw 130 Yards... it's less then that # of 4 INT games for SD
Should be a good game though.... Honestly, Im more of a Seattle fan, I just don't know how this is -2 for SEA. I think LAR wins 6-12 pts. That is why I am asking what does vegas see that I don't. I probably will lose this knowing this.
Broncos undefeated at home, 11 game win streak, lol must like losing money. Love laughing at your mistakes picking against Denver . Shows your knowledge of nfl football is 5th grade level
Oh by the way you are wrong about the Broncos they have everything to play for, and they have the better QB too. If the Jags win, they hold the tiebreaker over Denver if they are tied at the end of the season for the #1 seed you really need to get your facts straight. Why do you hate Bo he is a great QB, and he is proving every week as the season goes on?
Walt, you seem like you are a very slow learner when it comes to the Broncos but that's ok some people never learn. You keep on hating and Denver keep on winning thanks Walt, I love it! Oh, by the way you should listen to your friend Andy he is a very smart man unlike you.
How is it a look ahead spot for the Bears but not the Packers? If GB beats Chicago next week, they sweep them and own the tiebreaker although the tiebreaker probably doesn't come into play with the Packers having a tie.
CHI -7.5 Proper Sanders implosion incoming. Thuney/Dalman/Jackson will do work against a CLE interior D struggling without Collins, and Graham hurting. Another big game from the CHI RBs.
JAX -12 "We quit" game from the battered Jets, while Jax is getting into a lather. Blowout.
BUF -1 Josh Allen - looking to make his MVP case - in a snow game. Revenge for BUF as Bosa and Rosseau take turns on Vederian Lowe.
DET +6 Just a hunch that this is a FG game. DET's battered secondary is concerning, but we've seen their backups step up before. Goff indoors and Gibbs on a rug allow Lions to keep up.
SEA -13.5 Betting that Indy's Philip Rivers Hail Mary is a disaster from the jump. Four TOs from Rivers sounds about right.
I'm w you on the Jags game. They're one of my top plays on teasers this week, but I'm skeptical on Seattle.
Dont get me wrong, I'm going to hit a few 6.5 teasers w SEA, Jags, PIT, NYG, etc... All the games that the extra 1/2 point make sense. I dont know if its the flooding in Seattle or the LARs game on TNF for the div lead but I'm sure we're not going to see a 100% effort from the Seahawks.
If they go up by 2 scores late in the 4th do they pull players for the real game on Thurs?
They're playing a non-conference opponent with no QB - how jacked are they going to be? Buckner may be back, but I cant get past the fact that Ward just went on IR and Sauce prob wont play. JSN should shine... BUT in the rain?
I'm going to tread lightly on SEA (6.5 teasers and ML parlays) - GL
I feel confident that SEA will blow out IND. Rivers is starting, which is comically desperate. Coming out of a five-year retirement, he gets to face the best D in the NFL in a potential monsoon and without RT Braden Smith. There may be so many IND turnovers, SEA may cover even if not fully focused. I just have visions of that SEA D running fumbles and INTs into the EZ throughout the game.
I'm going heavy on SEA. For me, it's all about fading Rivers. I'm not gonna wait to see how he fares when all logic points toward a disaster right from the jump. Gonna get out ahead of it. If I'm wrong on Rivers, then so be it. But I don't think I will be.
SEA definitely has one eye toward the Rams, so I'd lay off if Riley Leonard was starting. At least he's functional and can do some things with his wheels. Rivers is just a sitting duck vs. that swarming SEA front seven. I'm with Walt - to expect anything but disaster for Rivers is fairy tale land.
Not too worried about Taylor vs. an elite SEA run D that recently folded Jarran Reed back into the mix. Taylor has faded since Indy's problems at QB began anyway.
For what it's worth, SEA is 10-3 ATS, including 3-1 ATS in games I deemed "flat" spots. MacDonald has them playing consistent ball. That said, I'm on the Rams -1 on TNF. LA has SEA's number.
I agree that Mina Kimes isn't a great evaluator of the QB position but the fact you bring her up week after week anytime you evaluate the Raiders (even when Geno is injured and not starting lol) screams that she lives in your head rent free.
Constantly bringing up the DEI thing also just makes it sounds like your more bothered that she's a Asian woman covering football than her actual analysis and takes. Quit yapping about other media ppl that get more attention than you and focus on football lil bro.
One game that I believe you may have missed an important detail is Buffalo @ New England. The Patriots will be returning from their Bye Week so they will be well-rested, and Mike Vrabel had more time to develop a game plan. Josh Allen and the Bills just played a physically and mentally exhausting game against Joe Burrow and the Bengals. I expect a letdown in this road game.
@Mr. Bitter Point well taken. As a lifelong Miami Dolphins fan, I know how ineffective Tua performs in cold, snowy weather. I just switched my pick to Josh Allen and the Bills.
2-game teasers... LAR -2.5 + TB -2.5 (5U to win 4U) + Jags +7.5 (5U) + Cin +11.5 (5U) + Bal - (5U) LAR -2.5 + Hou +9.5 3.75U to win 3U + Sea -1.0 2.5U to win 2U + Den -1.5 2.5U to win 2U
*I mixed the above for 6-game teasers & added in week 15... Ten @ SF: SF -6.5 GB @ Den: Den +7.5 BUF @ NE: BUF +7.5
I hit ML parlays on the heavy favs and mixed in... Chase Brown (CIN) 32+ Rush Yards Chris Rodriguez Jr. (WAS) 20+ Rush Yards Blake Corum (LAR) 14+ Rush Yards Tyler Warren (IND) 43+ Rec Yards De'Von Achane (MIA) 21+ Rec Yards
I don't think we have to worry about tge Chargers "looking ahead" given the muddled AFC Wild Card picture. They have a similar record to Buffalo/KC/Houston/Jacksonville/Pittsburgh and can't afford to slip, especially an "easy" game
Vikings, 4 units (loss): Wow. J.J. McCarthy sucks. I thought the Vikings would have a huge edge with their receivers against Chicago’s injury-ridden secondary, but it doesn’t matter when the quarterback is absolute garbage. I can’t bet the Vikings again unless they’re large underdogs or battling another terrible quarterback.

TEN +3
