Ravens at Buccaneers

ATS Record: Ravens 2-4-1, Buccaneers 2-5

O/U Record: Ravens 2-5, Buccaneers 1-6

The Buccaneers are starting to look like pretenders, losing four of their last five games and losing five in a row ATS. They’ve also been held to 21 points or fewer in all but one game. Of course, the Ravens have been favored in three straight games, failing to cover each one. On the bright side, John Harbaugh is 26-6 ATS after failing to cover at least four of Baltimore’s last six games. Also, the Bucs are averaging just 3.0 yards per carry on the ground while the Ravens are 15-3 SU during Harbaugh’s tenure against teams that gain 3.5 yards per carry or less.

Broncos at Jaguars

ATS Record: Broncos 2-5, Jaguars 2-5

O/U Record: Broncos 1-6, Jaguars 4-3

Playing last week without Russell Wilson didn’t help Denver’s offense last week. The Broncos have still scored 16 points or fewer in all but one game this season. That’s made them a safe bet to hit the under and a team that’s lost four in a row, twice losing in overtime. In London, the Broncos will find another team that’s lost four in a row and lost four straight ATS. This will be the third time the Jags are favored in a game, although they’ve lost the first two SU. For what it’s worth, the Jaguars have more experience playing in London, although they are just 4-4 there.

Panthers at Falcons

ATS Record: Panthers 2-5, Falcons 6-1

O/U Record: Panthers 2-5, Falcons 4-3

While the Falcons have won six of the last eight games in this rivalry, the road team has won the last four games. The good news for the Falcons is they have won their last two home games. However, the Falcons are also just 3-11 ATS when hosting other NFC teams over the last three seasons. This will also be the first time this year that Atlanta will be favored in a game after going 6-1 ATS as an underdog. As for the Panthers, this is just their third road game of the season, although they’ve lost both of them, failing to cover both times.

Bears at Cowboys

ATS Record: Bears 3-3-1, Cowboys 5-2

O/U Record: Bears 3-4, Cowboys 1-5-1

Even after a Monday night win and a season-high in points, the Bears are still double-digit underdogs this week. In fairness, only one team has scored 20 or more points against the Cowboys this year. In fact, they’ve held three of their last four opponents to 10 points or fewer. Over the last two years, the Cowboys are 7-0 ATS against teams with a losing record and 15-4 ATS against other NFC teams. Of course, the Bears have only lost one game by 10 or more points this season.

Dolphins at Lions

ATS Record: Dolphins 3-4, Lions 3-3

O/U Record: Dolphins 2-5, Lions 4-2

A bye in Week 6 didn’t do the Lions any good, as they’ve scored just six total points over their last two games. The Detroit offense has stalled after a promising start, leading to back-to-back blowout losses. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have Tua Tagovailoa back but still only scored 16 points last week, causing them to lose their fourth straight game ATS. Despite playing multiple QBs the past few weeks, the Dolphins are averaging 296 passing yards per game and over 380 total yards per game. However, under Dan Campbell, the Lions are 6-0 ATS against teams that average over 235 passing yards per game and 6-0 ATS against teams that average over 350 total yards per game.

Cardinals at Vikings

ATS Record: Cardinals 4-3, Vikings 2-4

O/U Record: Cardinals 2-5, Vikings 3-3

The Vikings return from their bye week, hoping to build on their four-game winning streak. Of course, the Vikings have failed to cover the spread in their last two home wins, sitting at 5-1 overall but just 2-4 ATS. On the other side, the Cardinals are 15-5 ATS under Kliff Kingsbury as a road underdog and 12-3 ATS when Arizona is an underdog between 3.5 and 9.5 points. In fact, during Kingsbury’s tenure, the Cardinals are 8-1 as a road underdog between 3.5 and seven points.

Raiders at Saints

ATS Record: Raiders 3-3, Saints 2-5

O/U Record: Raiders 4-2, Saints 5-2

Get ready for some offensive fireworks in this game, as the Saints have hit the over in four straight games. During that span, they’re scoring 31 points per game but conceding 33 points per game. The Raiders have also hit the over in their last four games. In those four games, they’re averaging 30.3 points per game but giving up 24.3 points per game. Meanwhile, the Raiders are winless on the road this year, although the Saints are 1-3 SU and 2-2 ATS at home.

Patriots at Jets

ATS Record: Patriots 3-3-1, Jets 5-2

O/U Record: Patriots 4-3, Jets 3-4

In a role reversal, the Patriots are last in the AFC East while the Jets are just a half-game behind the Bills atop the division. After winning as a road favorite last week, the Jets open this week as a home underdog. Meanwhile, the Patriots might be dealing with a quarterback controversy after a disastrous Monday night loss to the Bears. It doesn’t help that the New England defense couldn’t handle one of the worst offensive teams in the league. The silver lining for the Patriots is they’ve swept the season series from the Jets in six straight seasons; even at home, the Jets haven’t beaten the Patriots since 2015.

Steelers at Eagles

ATS Record: Steelers 3-3-1, Eagles 4-2

O/U Record: Steelers 2-5, Eagles 2-3-1

While the Pennsylvania rivalry game is rare during the regular season, the home team has won the last five games in this matchup, which bodes well for the unbeaten Eagles. Of course, the Eagles are favored by double digits and only two of their six wins have come by 10 points or more. Likewise, only two of Pittsburgh’s five losses have come by more than 10 points. The Steelers have been solid defensively for most of the season, keeping four of their seven opponents to 20 points or fewer.

Titans at Texans

ATS Record: Titans 4-2, Texans 3-2-1

O/U Record: Titans 2-4, Texans 3-3

The Titans have won four in a row after last week’s win over the Colts, going 4-0 ATS during that stretch despite only being favored in one of those games. As for the Texans, they returned from their bye week with a 38-20 loss to the Raiders. The last time the Texans lost while giving up over 30 points, they bounced back with a win. That makes sense, as Lovie Smith is 27-14 SU in his coaching career after losing by double digits and 21-13 SU the week after giving up at least 30 points.

Commanders at Colts

ATS Record: Commanders 3-4, Colts 3-4

O/U Record: Commanders 3-4, Colts 1-6

With Taylor Heinicke at quarterback, the Commanders scored the most points they’ve had since Week 2, giving them back-to-back wins and a little bit of hope. Of course, last week’s win over the Packers came as an underdog, and Ron Rivera is 23-8 ATS in his coaching career following a win as an underdog. Meanwhile, all is not lost for the Colts despite last week’s 19-10 loss to the Titans. Under Frank Reich, Indy is 21-10 ATS after a loss and 6-0 ATS following a game in which they scored 14 points or fewer.

49ers at Rams

ATS Record: 49ers 3-4, Rams 2-4

O/U Record: 49ers 2-5, Rams 1-5

The 49ers are going for their eighth straight win over the Rams during the regular season, although they obviously lost last year’s NFC Championship Game. Before last week’s bye, the Rams had lost two of their last three games; the good news is that Los Angeles is 10-2 ATS under Sean McVay after losing two of three. McVay is also 13-2 SU when the over/under is between 42.5-49 points. Meanwhile, the 49ers are coming off back-to-back losses and are 0-3 SU on the road this year.

Giants at Seahawks

ATS Record: Giants 6-1, Seahawks 4-3

O/U Record: Giants 2-5, Seahawks 4-3

These two teams have turned into the biggest surprises in the NFL. The Giants, in particular, are a perfect 5-0 SU as an underdog, including two wins as a road underdog. As for the Seahawks, this will be just the second time this year they’ve been favored in a game, losing at home to the Falcons the only other time they were favored. Seattle has also become accustomed to high-scoring games, hitting the over four times in the last five games, whereas the Giants have only hit the over twice in seven games. For what it’s worth, when the Giants visited Seattle two years ago, they came away with a 17-12 win.

Packers at Bills

ATS Record: Packers 2-5, Bills 4-1-1

O/U Record: Packers 3-4, Bills 1-5

If the spread holds, this will be the first time in his career that Aaron Rodgers is a double-digit underdog in a game. On the other side, this is already the third time this year that the Bills have been favored by double digits, covering both times. Before their bye last week, the Bills beat the Chiefs in comeback fashion, which matters because they are 12-3 ATS under Sean McDermott when coming off a win by six points or fewer. The Bills also have the best defense in the league while the Packers are averaging just 14.0 points per game on the road.

Bengals at Browns

ATS Record: Bengals 5-2, Browns 3-4

O/U Record: Bengals 2-5, Browns 2-5

Surprisingly, the Browns have won seven of their last eight meetings with the Bengals, including their last four home games against the AFC North rivals. Of course, the Browns are also falling apart with four straight losses, including two losses at home. The Bengals, meanwhile, are coming on strong with four wins in their last five games, going 5-0 ATS during that stretch. Also, a Cleveland defense that’s giving up 26.6 points per game this year has to face the Bengals, who have scored at least 30 points in back-to-back weeks and at least 27 points in four of their last five games. The Bengals are also 12-3 ATS under Zac Taylor when the over/under is 45.5 points or more.
