(19-20-1 in opposition to the unfold in 2022)
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (-6) over Indianapolis Colts
Sam Ehlinger doesn’t stand an opportunity in Foxboro on Sunday. The 2021 sixth-round decide made his first NFL begin final week, and did nothing in a loss to Washington. By now, you don’t should be reminded of Bill Belichick’s dominant historical past in opposition to younger, inexperienced quarterbacks. The 4-4 Patriots are coming off a win over the Jets and are second within the league in takeaways, with 16. They’ll have Ehlinger’s head spinning en path to a win — and canopy — over the 3-4-1 Colts.
NEW YORK JETS (+11.5) over Buffalo Bills
The 5-3 Jets received screwed by the refs final week in a loss to the Patriots. I count on New York to maintain this divisional sport shut whereas at house. The 6-1 Bills have gained 4 straight and are coming off a win over the Packers. Buffalo’s solely different divisional sport this season was in Miami in Week 3. The Bills misplaced that sport, 21-19. I wouldn’t contact the moneyline as a result of Josh Allen is 5-2 in opposition to New York, however I do just like the Jets’ possibilities of placing up a adequate battle to cowl. I’m taking the factors with the house canine.
GREEN BAY PACKERS (-3.5) over Detroit Lions
If there was ever a time to place your cash on an Aaron Rodgers bounce-back efficiency, that is it, in opposition to the worst protection within the NFL. The 3-5 Packers have misplaced 4 straight. The 1-6 Lions have misplaced 5 straight. Rodgers is 18-6 in his profession in opposition to Detroit, with 52 landing passes and solely eight interceptions in these 24 video games. Also, the Packers’ cross protection is among the greatest within the league, and held Josh Allen to simply 13 completions final week. Give me Green Bay to win by a landing in Detroit.
LOS ANGELES RAMS (+3) over Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I’m unsure how anybody might really feel comfy betting on Tom Brady proper now. I’m not overly assured within the 3-4 Rams, however the 3-5 Buccaneers have misplaced three straight, and Brady doesn’t appear to be his head is within the sport. Matthew Stafford beat the Bucs twice final season — within the common season and playoffs — and threw six touchdowns with no interceptions in these video games. The Rams cowl in Tampa.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (-12.5) over Tennessee Titans
The 5-2 Chiefs are coming off the bye. My cash’s on Patrick Mahomes operating away with this one at house, in opposition to a Tennessee cross protection that’s one of many worst within the league, permitting 255 cross yards per sport. The 5-2 Titans have gained 5 straight, however they haven’t performed a single quarterback who’s on Mahomes’ degree since Week 2 in Buffalo. Josh Allen put up 41 factors in that sport. Chiefs win huge on Sunday Night Football.
