To end the day Jared Goff and a visit to the Detroit Lions C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans on Sunday night. The Lions enter Sunday’s prime time game on a six-game win streak and are 4-0 on the road this season. Week 10 ends with two teams seemingly heading in opposite directions. Los Angeles Rams, the winner of three consecutive games, will face the Miami Dolphins, who are in the middle of a three-game series.

Joe Fortenbaugh’s first bet: San Francisco 49ers (-6.5) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Last week: Cleveland Browns-Los Angeles Chargers under 40.5 points. The line closed at 41.5. Chargers won 27-10.

Let’s lock this down before it hits 7. While San Francisco is coming off its bye week, Tampa Bay will return to six days of rest after playing at Kansas City on Monday night, which is why the ad screams “49ers.” Additionally, the Niners’ health is improving and this could be their first game of the season. Christian McCaffrey. On top of that, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles is 0-5 ATS in his career when facing an opponent coming off the bye week. There’s a good reason why this line has already gone from -5.5 to -6.5, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it reached -7 before kickoff.

Ben Solak’s first bet: San Francisco 49ers-Tampa Bay Buccaneers OVER 47.5 (-115)

The 49ers are saying goodbye and hoping to get McCaffrey back on the field; Their offense needs him badly, and the Buccaneers’ defense is the perfect soft landing spot for his debut. The Bucs, meanwhile, are always good for some high passing yards and garbage time points, and the 49ers’ defense remains an overrated unit in betting circles. If you can thwart the Bucs’ pass rush with their excellent tackle tandem. Tristan Wirfs And Luke Goedeke you can – then you can move the ball both on the ground and in the air. We are waiting for points here.

Tyler Fulghum’s first bet: Washington Commanders-Pittsburgh Steelers 44.5 UNDER (-110)

Last week: Rams will win NFC West (+500). The Rams are currently (+375) to win the NFC West.

We especially like to bet on the Steelers on the road. This line is probably a little bulgy jayden daniels. The Rookie of the Year favorite is certainly dynamic and capable of scoring, but I don’t think he’s seen a defense close to the caliber of this Pittsburgh team yet. On the other side, RussellWilson There has been a statement at QB regarding Mike Tomlin’s offense, but I sense some regression coming. Dan Quinn’s defense has been lacking in recent weeks. I would play this up to 42.5.

Anita Marks’ first bet: Houston Texans (+4) vs. Detroit Lions

Last week: Patriots-Titans under 37.5 points. The line closed at 37.5. Titans won 20-17.

The Lions will have to hit the road for the second week in a row. Considering they play Thursday night, they head to Houston to face a Texas team that has a small bye. Extra time helps Texans stay healthier. Will Anderson Jr.. He is dealing with an ankle sprain and the team is hoping for a recovery Nico Collins get back into the mix. C.J. Stroud He plays better at home than he does on the road and doesn’t face as much pressure against the Lions’ passing attack Aidan Hutchinson Like he did against the Jets’ front seven.

Andre Snellings’ first bet: Denver Broncos (+9) vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Last week: Commanders -3 vs Giants (-120). Line Commanders were closed at -3.5. Commanders won the match 27-22.

I fully support the Chiefs being favored in this game, but I think that line is artificially supported by the fact that the Chiefs are undefeated and the Broncos were beaten by the Ravens by 31 points on Sunday. These two facts mask the fact that the Chiefs have rarely won big this season and the Broncos have rarely lost. Only two of the Chiefs’ first seven wins were by more than seven points: a 13-point win and a 10-point win over a New Orleans Saints team that is currently in the midst of a seven-game losing streak. San Francisco 49ers team struggling with injuries.

The Chiefs’ other five wins averaged 5.4 points. Similarly, other than the Ravens loss, the Broncos have never lost any other game this season by more than seven points, and their average pre-Ravens scoring differential was +6.6 points. The Broncos are built around a strong defense that keeps them in games, and unlike the Ravens’ high-powered offense (first in the NFL with 445.9 yards/game, second with 31.4 points), this year’s Chiefs play more ball-handling offense ( 11th place). He ranks 11th in the NFL with 348.0 yards per game with 24.7 points. If you factor in division competition, which often makes games more competitive than expected, 9 points is too big a difference for my tastes. I’ll take the Broncos and the points.

Pamela Maldonado’s first bet: Indiana Hoosiers To win the Big Ten Championship (+1100)

Last week: Chicago Bears won under 8.5. The Bears lost to the Cardinals, dropping them to 4-4 on the season.

This is an attractive risk bet with potentially high rewards. The Hoosiers’ offense is explosive (No. 1 in points per game) while their defense is stingy (No. 10 in goals). With a critical matchup still to come against Ohio State, a victory there would likely secure Indiana’s spot in the championship game. If they can beat the Buckeyes, your +1100 ticket will essentially become a coin toss against Oregon in the championship, offering tremendous value. Given Indiana’s balanced attack, strong defense, and the fact that they’ve already performed above expectations, they have a legitimate shot to pull off the upset and win the Big Ten title, making this a potentially lucrative bet for risk-tolerant bettors.
