Carolina Panthers -3 vs. Philadelphia Eagles

  • CMC may be back for the Panthers, giving them a best.
  • Carolina’s defense is top three in football in all major categories.
  • Eagles offensive line is hurt.

Prediction: 27-20 Panthers.

Cincinnati Bengals +3 vs. Green Bay Packers

  • 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.
