Washington Football Team +7 at Buffalo Bills

  • McDermott and Rivera used to coach together. Washington has an awesome defense.
  • Heinicke has not been bad at all, underrated.
  • Washington can move the chains, and Buffalo has struggled on offense.

Prediction: Buffalo 24-23

New Orleans Saints vs. New England Patriots (-2.5)

  • Saints are still living out of a hotel, Colin knows what he gets with New England.
  • New Orleans is struggling and inconsistent, and New England defense is fantastic.
  • Saints are far too inconsistent, so take what you know in the Patriots.

Prediction: Pats 27-20

Cincinnati Bengals +3 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

  • Big Ben is less than 100%, and is struggling already before injury.
  • Steelers defense is on the field too long, fourth-worst pass defense in the NFL.
  • Burrow bounces back, Cowherd is very confident in this pick.

Prediction: Bengals 27-24

Miami Dolphins +3.5 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

  • Raiders have crushed so far, first team that would be 3-0 against three teams with 10+ wins ever, Colin does not like it.
  • Raiders are one dimensional, cannot run the football.
  • Dolphins are ready to go without Tua, and Cowherd has them winning outright.

Prediction: Dolphins 26-23.

Philadelphia Eagles +3.5 vs. Dallas Cowboys

  • Jalen Hurts is averaging almost eight yards before contact.
  • Eagles offensive line is fantastic right now, and the Eagles defense has been awesome.
  • Cowherd loves the Eagles to upset the Cowboys because of Jalen Hurts.

Prediction: Eagles 24-23
