Defense/Special Teams

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Houston Texans – $3600

Is there a chance that the Houston Texans light up the best defense in the NFL for a third straight week? Of course. Is there more of a chance the NFL’s worst offensive line, allowing the second most sacks, gets destroyed and the Jaguars feast on a vulnerable Deshaun Watson? Absolutely. Give me the latter option here. Jacksonville will not have three bad weeks in a row and the Texas offense is exactly what they need. Not only have they allowed the second most sacks this season but Watson is second i the league in interceptions thrown. This could be a big bounce back week for the fierce unit.

Los Angeles Rams @ San Francisco 49ers – $3500

Meanwhile the Los Angeles Rams are licking their chops seeing C.J. Beathard and Alfred Morris in the backfield. It is impressive how well the Rams defense is playing without a fierce outside pass rusher. Aaron Donald and company make up for that missing piece with interior pressure against the pass. Garbage time could prevent the Rams defense from being a top scoring unit here. Outside of that, they look like a lock for a top five finish.

Value Defense/Special Teams

New Orleans Saints @ Baltimore Ravens – $2200 (20th)

The New Orleans Saints defense was a revelation a season ago. This year they’ve taken a massive step back. It could be labeled a unit-wide sophomore slump. Some remedy may be coming in the form of the Ravens offense. Finding a unit ranked 20th in pricing that could finish top-5 is rare. That is the opportunity that could happen in Baltimore. The Ravens will try to control the clock but if the Saints can get a lead with their high scoring offense and force Joe Flacco to beat them, there will be defensive points had.
