THE MAIN EVENT: The public likes the Chiefs and LOVES the Over
KEY FACTS: A rematch of the 42-36 OT thriller features the MVP favorites (Josh Allen, +220; Patrick Mahomes, +300). And yes, Mahomes is a ‘dog for the first time in 42 home starts. KC’s O-line ranks bottom five in pressure rate and the Bills are top-5, so watch for (Von) Miller Time.
TRENDING: Buffalo is 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven games as the fav. Mahomes has crushed it as a road ‘dog (7-0-1 ATS).
EXPERT PICKS
NBC lead betting analyst Jay Croucher and the PointsBet duo of Ryan Leaf and Teddy G achieved perfection with their college and TNF picks, going 6-0. What do Croucher and Leaf like on Sunday?
THE BOOK
49ers-Falcons Under 45 (-110)
"Two teams intent on running the ball will bleed the clock. And SF’s league-best 'D' will keep this Total low."
Cowboys' Troy Pollard Over 35.5 Rushing Yards (-105)
"Dallas does not want to put this game in Cooper Rush’s hands. Pollard has been the more effective RB and only needs to break one."
THE BIG NAME
Saints +3 over Bengals (-107)
“New Orleans has found a formula with Taysom Hill. Cincinnati has not been explosive, and it’s tough playing in New Orleans.”
Cowboys +6.5 over Eagles (-110)
“It’s a division game. It will be tight. That defense will be all over Jalen Hurts."
Buccaneers QB Tom Brady ⬆️ 1.5 passing TDs (-200): Brady will no doubt score more now that he is single. And Pittsburgh’s pass ‘D’ is the pits.
Falcons QB Marcus Mariota ⬇️ 30.5 rushing Yards (-120): Mariota can motor️, but SF’s swarming ‘D’ yields fewer than 10 rushing yards per game to opposing QBs.
Cardinals TE Zach Ertz ⬆️ 50.5 receiving yards (-105): Ertz made the Seahawks look like Seachickens last year, grabbing 15 catches for 172 yards in two games.
KEY FACTS: Cooper Rush (4-0 as a starter) looks to fan the flamesof a potential QB controversy before a raucous crowd in Philly. Four Eagles O-linemen were limited in practice, leaving Defensive POY favorite (+115) Micah Parsons to salivate. Philly is outscoring foes 106-45 in the first half.
TRENDING: The Cowboys have owned this series (7-2 ATS in last 9) and also covered seven of their last nine on the road.
[MVP] Bills QB Josh Allen +325 ➡️ +220: Allen’s odds shrunk after his 4-TD display against Pittsburgh.
[Offensive Rookie of the Year] Jets RB Breece Hall +1400 ➡️ +450: Rushed past Dameon Pierce (+550) after producing 197 yards in the J-E-T-S’ romp over Miami.
[Defensive Rookie of the Year] Jets CB Ahmad Gardner +1500 ➡️ +500: “Sauce” is flowing after picking off Skylar Thompson. Jags LB Devin Lloyd (+325) remains on top.
[Coach of the Year] Nick Sirianni +175 ➡️ +145: Philly’s head honcho has firmed nearly every week since starting the season at +1400.
