Opening Line: Eagles -3.5
Blake Schuster: Commanders +3.5
I like Washington on a brief week much more if Brian Robinson is taking part in, however I’ll roll with Jayden Daniels regardless.
Prince Grimes: Eagles -3.5
This can be a massive boy sport for the budding Commanders. The Eagles have performed many of those the final couple of years. I’ll roll with the skilled aspect.
Charles Curtis: Commanders +3.5
Divisional sport, and even with the Eagles taking part in properly, I feel Jayden Daniels retains it shut.
Cory Woodroof: Eagles -3.5
The Eagles are taking part in their greatest soccer since 2022, so I’ll give them an edge over a younger Commanders staff.
Robert Zeglinski: Eagles -3.5
As a lot as I feel Washington is legit, I’m shopping for Philly’s latest resurgence much more.
Christian D’Andrea: Eagles -3.5
I’ve utter religion in Nick Sirianni’s skill to botch this, however Philly’s go protection is even higher than Pittsburgh’s — and the Steelers stifled Jayden Daniels late to earn a comeback win in Week 10.
Inexperienced Bay Packers at Chicago Bears
Opening Line: Packers -6
Blake Schuster: Packers -6
Someplace deep in my damaged coronary heart, I imagine the Bears will win this sport, however I’m forcing myself to shove apart these emotions instead of logic. Chicago is damaged from prime to backside and Inexperienced Bay is but once more going to point out it what a profitable franchise seems like.
Prince Grimes: Bears +6
All the pieces feels off with the Bears, however perhaps they reply to the teaching change for per week earlier than the wheels come again off.
Charles Curtis: Packers -6
Don’t see how one can guess on the Bears even when their offense will get fastened after the teaching change.
Cory Woodroof: Packers -6
I don’t know what’s happening with Chicago, however Inexperienced Bay can win this by a landing.
Robert Zeglinski: Packers -6
(Deep inhale) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Christian D’Andrea: Packers -6
I hate laying factors on the highway in a rivalry sport. However the Bears haven’t come inside six factors of beating the Packers this decade. You actually assume these guys are gonna discover an additional gear for Matt Eberflus???
Jacksonville Jaguars at Detroit Lions
Opening Line: Lions -4
Blake Schuster: Lions -14
I’m not touching this one in actual life. That’s far too many factors in an NFL sport. Nope. Can’t do it.
Prince Grimes: Jaguars +14
That’s simply quite a lot of factors. However I’m not coming near this sport.
Charles Curtis: Lions -14
I’m with everybody else. Hate this decide, hate this unfold, however received to take the MUCH higher staff.
Cory Woodroof: Lions -14
No Trevor Lawrence, no avoiding a blowout.
Robert Zeglinski: Lions -14
The Lions gained a soccer sport the place their QB threw 5 picks. I repeat, they gained a soccer sport the place their QB threw FIVE picks. The Jags are stepping as much as a meat grinder.
Christian D’Andrea: Lions -14
It’s so many factors, however… Mac Jones.
Minnesota Vikings at Tennessee Titans
Opening Line: Vikings -1
Blake Schuster: Vikings -6
I suppose I’m refusing to be taught something from all of the underdog wins in Week 11 however I can’t belief no matter it’s Tennessee is doing.
Prince Grimes: Titans +6
I suppose that is the week I lastly cease fading the Titans. Sam Darnold isn’t taking part in nice.
Charles Curtis: Vikings -6
The Titans have a bit of battle in them however not sufficient.
Cory Woodroof: Vikings -6
Will Levis going up towards a Brian Flores protection shouldn’t be a recipe for achievement.
Robert Zeglinski: Vikings -6
I’m actually cackling as I kind this as a result of I’m imagining Will Levis making an attempt to resolve Brian Flores’ protection. Too humorous.
Christian D’Andrea: Vikings -6
Sam Darnold’s errors are exploitable. However is the staff with six turnovers compelled in 9 video games gonna be the one to do it?
Las Vegas Raiders at Miami Dolphins
Opening Line: Dolphins -6.5
Blake Schuster: Dolphins -8
Tua beginning to look much more like himself once more.
Prince Grimes: Raiders +8
I’m simply hammering all the huge underdogs at this level.

Hey bookmakers, I hate all of those.
Cory Woodroof: Dolphins -8
Miami has been higher with Tua Tagovailoa on the sphere.
Robert Zeglinski: Dolphins -8
Hey, Brock Bowers remains to be on tempo for over 1,000 receiving yards as a rookie tight finish. So, the Raiders have that going for them (the one factor).
Christian D’Andrea: Dolphins -8
The primary time the Raiders had a bye beneath Antonio Pierce that they had eight first downs the next week. Not factors; first downs.
Los Angeles Rams at New England Patriots
Opening Line: Rams -4
Blake Schuster: Patriots +4.5
Two tremendous unlikable groups ATS. I’m taking the factors.
Prince Grimes: Rams -4.5
A win over the Bears doesn’t imply the Patriots stopped being the Patriots.
Charles Curtis: Rams -4.5
Uneasy about this one however I feel the Rams’ offense is the X issue right here.
Cory Woodroof: Rams -4.
Los Angeles can convincingly deal with enterprise.
Robert Zeglinski: Rams -4.5
Disgrace on anybody who didn’t assume these Rams would come again to life. Sean McVay has earned a lot extra religion than that.
Christian D’Andrea: Rams -4.5
A bounce-back week for Los Angeles and a obtrusive teaching mismatch for a primary yr HC whose most up-to-date wins are over Jeff Ulbrich and Matt Eberflus.
Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints
Opening Line: Browns -2

I suppose? I’ll be trustworthy, I’m not tuning into this sport and you may’t make me.
Prince Grimes: Browns +1
Jameis Winston revenge sport?
Charles Curtis: Browns +1
Bleh.
Cory Woodroof: Saints -1
New Orleans can squeak by right here by a area objective.
Robert Zeglinski: Saints -1
I see we’ve lastly reached that time within the yr the place perhaps 30 % of the NFL video games on a Sunday are pointless and meaningless.
Christian D’Andrea: Browns +1
Flip a coin excessive into the air till you’re staring instantly on the solar. Congratulations, you may have simply watched Browns/Saints.
Indianapolis Colts at New York Jets
Opening Line: Jets -4
Blake Schuster: Colts +3.5
One among these groups is elite ATS and the opposite shouldn’t be. New York has by no means regarded extra cooked.
Prince Grimes: Colts +3.5
The break day would possibly’ve completed A-Wealthy some good.
Charles Curtis: Colts +3.5
When you possibly can’t belief both staff, you’re taking the factors.
Cory Woodroof: Colts +3.5
I can’t belief the Jets, and I think about Anthony Richardson can be further motivated this week.
Robert Zeglinski: Jets -3.5
I’m shocked by my colleagues’ confidence in one of many worst statistical QBs this century towards the Jets protection. Be critical, mates.
Christian D’Andrea: Jets -3.5
New York’s protection so badly wants a win and now it will get to face a quarterback with all of the grace and management of a malfunctioning bumper automobile.
Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers
Opening Line: Ravens -3
Blake Schuster: Steelers +3
Mike Tomlin is 12-2-2 ATS as an underdog towards John Harbaugh and Tomlin is 62-35-4 ATS as an underdog interval. This line is simply begging you to take Pittsburgh and how are you going to not given the tendencies?
Prince Grimes: Ravens -3
Nice, I’ll be the silly one to do it. I feel Derrick Henry provides Baltimore an opportunity to manage this sport. And as improved as Russell Wilson has been this season, he’s not Joe Burrow. I don’t assume Pittsburgh retains up with out establishing its personal run, which Baltimore defends pretty properly.
Charles Curtis: Steelers +3
In Mike Tomlin (and Russell Wilson?) we belief.
Cory Woodroof: Steelers +3
That Baltimore protection is shaky, and Pittsburgh’s shouldn’t be.
Robert Zeglinski: Steelers +3
What a budding AFC North instantaneous traditional the place I’ll take the factors for MIKE TOMLIN with out query.

The final time Pittsburgh misplaced to the Ravens at house by greater than a area objective was 2018.

This sport being in Denver makes all of the distinction for a protection that’s already fairly elite.
Prince Grimes: Broncos -2.5
Yeah, second straight highway sport for Atlanta, in Denver. Towards that protection. Give me the Broncos.
Charles Curtis: Falcons +2.5
A curious unfold, so, high quality, I’ll take the bait.
Cory Woodroof: Falcons +2.5
Raheem Morris hasn’t misplaced in back-to-back video games. I anticipate that to proceed.
Robert Zeglinski: Broncos -2.5
Denver nearly pulled off an upset of the Chiefs final week and is taking part in at altitude. That’s a recipe for catastrophe for the porous Falcons protection.
Christian D’Andrea: Broncos -2.5
Feels just like the form of sport the place Kirk Cousins tries to proper the ship, does an excessive amount of and will get stung by a prime 5 protection.
Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers
Opening Line: 49ers -9
Blake Schuster: 49ers -6.5
It’s a division sport, however that line is just too small to sway me from taking a superior offense at house.
Prince Grimes: Seahawks +6.5
San Fran’s protection not fairly as dominant as its been in years previous. I’ll take the factors.
Charles Curtis: Seahawks +6.5
A hair too giant for a divisional sport.

San Fran has too many factors right here for my consolation and for the way this rivalry sometimes goes.
Robert Zeglinski: 49ers -6.5
I’ve realized my lesson with reference to unfold picks with these groups. I like you Geno Smith, I actually do, however by no means once more.
Christian D’Andrea: 49ers -6.5
Until you’re counting video games he spent backing up Russell Wilson, Geno Smith has by no means crushed the Niners.
Kansas Metropolis Chiefs at Buffalo Payments

Blake Schuster: Chiefs +2.5
Mahomes is 12-1-1 ATS as an underdog, so let’s simply go forward and quick ahead to the half the place Buffalo wins by 1.

Cincinnati Bengals at Los Angeles Chargers (Sunday Evening)
Opening Line: Bengals -2
Blake Schuster: Chargers -1.5
Nonetheless now not betting towards Jim Harbaugh’s satan magic.
Prince Grimes: Bengals +1.5
This decide is extra about my perception that the Bengals nonetheless have a playoff push in them. They actually need this sport for that to be true.
Charles Curtis: Chargers -1.5
Jim Harbaugh continues to impress.

This can be a enjoyable sport, and Cincinnati goes to play determined.
Robert Zeglinski: Bengals +1.5

Christian D’Andrea: Texans -7.5
Oh yeah I hate laying this many factors with a staff as untrustable as Houston. However the Cowboys have performed 4 house video games and misplaced three by no less than 4 touchdowns. And two of these losses got here earlier than Cooper Rush was beginning quarterback.
