Los Angeles Rams (-3) @ Denver Broncos
A few years ago, this Denver Broncos defense would be exactly what we’d want to see against this Los Angeles Rams team. Now? They get torched by the New York Jets.
The Rams had a ton of trouble against the Seahawks last week, but like good teams do they still came out with a win. Jared Goff is quickly becoming one of the best QBs in the league, and the Rams offense has so much talent that even injuries to Cooper Cupp and Brandon Cooks shouldn’t scare you away from this matchup.
The Broncos just have way too many issues, even with getting points at home. Go with the Rams and be extremely confident about it.
Los Angeles (R) 31, Denver 20
Jacksonville Jaguars (-2) @ Dallas Cowboys
My goodness is it hard to bet on Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars. One week, Bortles looks like a No. 3 pick in the NFL Draft. The next week, he looks like the worst starter in the league. There’s no in between with this guy.
However, here he’s facing a Dallas Cowboys team that can’t get past 200 yards passing. That’s not going to go well against this defense. They will go all in on stopping Ezekiel Elliott, and will dare Dak Prescott to go against Jalen Ramsey and this amazing secondary.
This seems like it should be an easy one. The Jags are only getting two points. That should be something they can surpass against Jason Garrett.
Jacksonville 21, Dallas 10
Baltimore Ravens (-2) @ Tennessee Titans
This matchup is one big shrug emoji. Which Baltimore Ravens team will we get? Which Tennessee Titans team will we get?
It seems Vegas always reacts to the team that loses to the Buffalo Bills. They did it to Minnesota, now they are doing it with Tennessee. The Titans have not lost a game at home this season. The only game they lost by more than one point was that extremely weird Dolphins game with the hours-long rain delay.
Baltimore is in a similar spot, but lost to the Browns instead of the Bills. Sure, the Browns are a little better, but it’s still a bad loss for both. This seems like a strange place to give a team points on the road.
Tennessee 18, Baltimore 11
