- Cowherd is betting the moneyline here, so he loves getting points.
- Burrow has been sacked just once in two weeks.
- Ja’Marr Chase has been great, but the entire offense is good.
- Cincy’s defense is underrated this season.
Prediction: 28-27 Bengals.
Miami Dolphins +10 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Gronk is out, Brady struggled without him.
- Tampa’s defense has struggled, and they are last in the NFL in many categories.
- 10 points is too many.
Prediction: 24-20 Tampa Bay.
Cleveland Browns -2.5 vs. Los Angeles Chargers
- This is a big value pick, given the set of both teams’ coming off big weeks.
- Browns have the best rush offense in the NFL, Chargers struggle to defend.
- Cleveland wins in a close one for Colin.
Prediction: 27-26 Browns.
Buffalo Bills +3 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
- Colin said the Bills defense is great, and this could be a “blowout”.
- KC has not won by more than 8 points until last week in over a year.
- The Chiefs are giving up nearly seven yards per play, which is insane.
Prediction: 36-28 Bills.
