Baltimore (-3) @ Pittsburgh – 44 1/2 o/u

Which Baltimore team is the real one? Which Pittsburgh team is the real one? We’re not really sure yet, and as such, this is a tough game to call. I do think Lamar Jackson is the difference in this one, and the Ravens are just more talented than the Steelers. Take Baltimore (-3) and the over, 28-21.

Houston (-4) v Atlanta – 50 1/2 o/u

Like the Ravens and Steelers, it has been difficult to gauge where Houston and Atlanta fall in terms of actually being good or not. Houston is a more complete team, though, and get the advantage of playing at home. Deshaun Watson is a very good quarterback, and has great weapons at his disposal (just like Matt Ryan). So, I’m taking Houston (-4), and the over, in a shootout, 38-31.

Green Bay (+3 1/2) @ Dallas – 47 o/u

This may be the Game of the Week as it features some of the game’s best playmakers and two of the top quarterbacks in football. The difference in this one comes down to the Packers missing star wide receiver Davante Adams. The Cowboys are the more talented team as a result, and they pull off the win late. Take the Cowboys (-3.5) and the over, 31-27.

San Francisco (-4) v Cleveland – 46 1/2 o/u

Did Cleveland come to life last week against Baltimore, or are the the fledgling team we saw early on? Is San Fransisco the top team in the NFC (as their current unbeaten record shows them), or are they a mediocre team who has yet to be tested? The answer is the former – the Browns are more talented and better equipped to stop the 49ers than the other way around. Its an intriguing matchup for Monday Night Football, but the Browns are good and the 49ers are average. Take Cleveland (+4) and the under, 24-20.
