THE MAIN EVENT: Patrick Mahomes vs. Tom Brady. ‘Nuff said.
EXPERT PICKS: Jay and Ryan are Under-whelmed on SNF
POWER HOUR: The best kind of drop — a Free Bet drop!
HUSTLE BOOST: Can the Bills, Packers and Rams earn the Dubs?
KEY FACTS: A delectable clash featuring two of the game’s best young QBs. Lamar Jackson’s teams are 2-0 against Josh Allen’s, with the Ravens outscoring the Bills 71-20. Baltimore’s pass defense has been brutal (353.3 yards per game), while Buffalo is dealing with O-line and secondary injuries.
TRENDING: The Ravens are 14-2 ATS as an underdog since 2018 and 4-1 ATS in their last five against the Bills at home. The Bills have covered just two of their last seven against teams with a winning record.
BOOST: Josh Allen 249.5+ passing yards & 49.5+ rushing yards in a Bills win +400 –> 495
EXPERT PICKS
PointsBet studio host Ryan Leaf and NBC lead betting analyst Jay Croucher square off for Sunday Night Football and their favorite NFL play.
THE BOOK
Rams (+2) over 49ers (-107)
"This line should be Rams -1. They are significantly better than the 49ers without LT Trent Williams and a struggling Jimmy G."
Chiefs-Bucs Under 46 (-110)
"Tampa's offense has struggled with a banged-up O-line and cluster of injuries at receiver. Kansas City's defense has been sneakily effective ... and the offense has looked human."
THE BIG NAME
Texans (+5) over Chargers (-107)
“The Chargers just lost their two best players on the O-line and D-line. Justin Herbert has a significant rib injury and Keenen Allen is still limited. The Texans play great defense and could win in a dogfight.”
Bucs-Chiefs Under 46 (-110)
“The Bucs are limited on the O-line and have really struggled to be explosive. If the game stays close, I can see a 21-17 final. If it gets out of hand, maybe Chiefs 28-10.”
Rationale: The Browns get the headlines, but the sharps see the Falcons (3-1-1 ATS in last 5) as undervalued.
2. Chargers (-5.5) @ Texans
Pros: Texans 74% handle
Joes: Chargers 60% tickets
Rationale: The public sees Houston as the team that just lost to the lowly Bears. The sharps understand the consequences of San Diego losing LT Rashawn Slater (biceps).
3. Commanders (+3) @ Cowboys
Pros: Commanders 67% handle
Joes: Cowboys 53% tickets
Rationale: America’s Team added some admirers after beating the Giants. The Commanders apparently deserve some respect in this NFC East clash.
4. Titans (+3.5) @ Colts
Pros: Colts 53% handle
Joes: Titans 60% tickets
Rationale: The Pros want you to remember the Titans️ are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 on the road against a team with a losing record.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce ⬆️ 70.5 Receiving Yards (-115): Kelce has 18 catches for 215 yards in KC’s last two against the Bucs, including a modest affair called the Super Bowl.
Patriots QB Brian Hoyer ⬇️ 195.5 passing yards (-125): Hoyer has lost 11 consecutive starts, serving as a Survivor Pool MVP. The Packers yield 6.2 yards per pass attempt, sixth lowest in the NFL.
Bears RB Khalil Herbert Anytime TD (+130 boosted to +150): With David Montgomery shelved, Herbert will be Chicago’s main man.
KEY FACTS: The Bucs, playing at home, are promising an inspired performance in the wake of Hurricane Ian. Mike Evans (suspension) returns to an offense that has scored less than the Jets, Giants or Bears. Patrick Mahomes has cooled since his 5-TD effort in Week 1.
TRENDING: The Bucs are 8-2 ATS in last 10 following a straight-up loss. The home team is 5-1 in the last six Bucs-Chiefs meetings.
INSIGHT: Most betters are Patrick’s Mahomies this week, with both the sharps (77%) and public (70%) taking the Chiefs.
