Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs ·
Colts Lead 20–17 in an Impressive Back-and-Forth Game
Indianapolis leads 20–17, and both teams have been very impressive. Kansas City’s defense has flashed at times, but the Colts are still finding ways to score against it. This has the feel of one hell of a game.
Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs ·
Colts Start Fast, but Chiefs Capitalize on an Early Pick
Indianapolis went right down the field and scored, then Kansas City answered with a field goal. A great play by a Chiefs cornerback produced an interception, and Kansas City scored off the turnover. The Colts have looked decent in a back-and-forth start, but they cannot afford those mistakes.

Raiders Hang Tough With Chargers
Las Vegas is hanging tough with the Chargers, an early concern for our Chargers -6.5 bet.

Arizona is again hanging tough with Seattle, an encouraging development for our Cardinals +3.5 bet.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Denver Broncos ·
Broncos–Jaguars Is Another Ugly Game as Nix Struggles

Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys ·
Cowboys Offense Is Cooking, but the Defense Still Looks Bad
Dallas’ offense is cooking, but the defense looks really, really bad and cannot stop anybody. Jaden Daniels’ injury could allow the Cowboys to pull away in the second half, but this defense still has to get better as the year goes on.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Denver Broncos ·
Bo Nix Throws Bad Red-Zone Interception
Bo Nix throws a bad interception in the red zone, wasting a scoring opportunity and creating an early concern for our Broncos -3 bet.
Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys ·

Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys ·
Cowboys Go Right Down the Field for CeeDee Lamb Touchdown
Dallas gets off to a great start, going right down the field for a touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb. An encouraging opening for Cowboys -4.5 and the Cowboys team-total over.
New Orleans Saints at Baltimore Ravens ·
Saints Complete a Nice Comeback and Lead Ravens by Seven
New Orleans completes a pretty nice comeback and leads Baltimore by seven. The Ravens look like the same old team here, a troubling development for Ravens -8.5.
Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears ·
Caleb Williams Leaves With Apparent Achilles Injury
Caleb Williams goes down with what appears to be an Achilles injury. It is not confirmed, but it looks really, really bad—a devastating development for Chicago.
Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons ·
Falcons Have No Quarterback Play as Panthers Rout Them
The Falcons might be the worst team in the league. They have no quarterback play, and Carolina is routing them—an extremely rough result for our Falcons +2.5 bet.
Green Bay Packers at New York Jets ·
Jets Take 14–7 Lead While Playing Hard and Moving the Ball
The Jets take a 14–7 lead. It is an ugly game, but New York is playing hard, moving the ball, and playing well—an encouraging spot for our Jets +4.5 bet.
Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans ·
Texans Miss 58-Yard Field Goal in Third Scoring Failure
Houston misses a 58-yard field goal. It is the third time a field-goal issue—or going for it instead of taking the points—has cost the Texans points in a game they only trail by seven. A brutal pattern for our Texans -2.5 bet.

Another Really Bad Interception by Drake Maye
Drake Maye throws another really bad interception. A costly mistake in Steelers–Patriots and another turnover in a game we have under 41.5.
Philadelphia Eagles at Tennessee Titans ·
Second-Half Watch: Can the Eagles Pull Away?
At halftime, Philadelphia leads Tennessee 14–10. The second-half question is whether the Eagles can pull away; if they cannot, it will be two straight weeks of not playing well against an opponent they should be beating by much more.
Cleveland Browns at Tampa Bay Buccaneers ·
Browns Fail on Fourth-and-One in Their Own Territory
Cleveland goes for fourth-and-one in its own territory and does not get it. This could be a huge turning point in the game and a needed chance for our Buccaneers -8.5 bet.
Cleveland Browns at Tampa Bay Buccaneers ·
Bucs Offensive Line Has Baker Running for His Life Again
Tampa Bay’s offensive line has to be really, really bad. For the second game in a row, Baker Mayfield looks like he is running for his life—another major concern for our Buccaneers -8.5 bet.
Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans ·
Ja’Marr Chase Touchdown Makes Texans Pay for Huge Mistakes
Ja’Marr Chase makes an unbelievable touchdown catch, and Houston now trails. The Texans cannot expect to hold Cincinnati scoreless while making huge, huge mistakes—a major concern for our Texans -2.5 bet.
Philadelphia Eagles at Tennessee Titans ·
Titans’ Third-Down Failures Lead to DeVonta Smith Touchdown
Tennessee just cannot get off the field, with multiple third-down failures now leading to a third-and-12 touchdown over the top to DeVonta Smith. A baffling breakdown and a major concern for our Titans +7 bet.
Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans ·
Texans Waste Another Scoring Chance on Fourth-and-Inches

Rodgers takes a brutal blindside hit—one of those shots that makes you hold your breath immediately. A major physical moment in Steelers–Patriots.
Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans ·
Texans Defense Looks Back After the Bills Questions

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons ·
Falcons Stopped on Fourth-and-One as Offense Struggles
Atlanta is stopped on fourth-and-one. The Falcons have been really, really bad offensively so far, creating another major concern for our Falcons +2.5 bet.
Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans ·
Bobbled Snap Prevents Texans Field-Goal Attempt
Correction: Houston does not miss a field goal—the bobbled snap prevents the attempt from even getting off. The Texans still leave points on the board, a big missed opportunity for our Texans -2.5 bet.
New Orleans Saints at Baltimore Ravens ·
Ravens Leave Points on the Board With Missed Field Goal
Baltimore misses a field goal and leaves points on the board. That is a big missed opportunity for our Ravens -8.5 bet.
Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons ·
Bryce Young Looks Better, Even if Carolina Is Not Perfect
Bryce Young has looked a lot better this year than we have seen from him before. Carolina is not playing perfectly, but the Panthers are not playing badly either—another concern for our Falcons +2.5 bet.
Cleveland Browns at Tampa Bay Buccaneers ·
Mayfield Pick Adds to an Ugly Bucs Start
Baker Mayfield throws an interception, and Tampa Bay looks really ugly right now. This team just might not be good, which is a major concern for our Buccaneers -8.5 bet.
Philadelphia Eagles at Tennessee Titans ·
Eagles Finish Another Strong Drive With a Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears ·
Weather Is Affecting Vikings–Bears as Caleb Throws a Pick
The weather is having a real impact in Vikings–Bears, and Caleb throws an interception. That is another early problem for our Bears -5.5 bet.
Green Bay Packers at New York Jets ·
Jets Defense Is Flying Around as Packers Look Flat
The Jets’ defense is flying around right now, while Green Bay does not look good early. That is an encouraging start for our Jets +4.5 bet.
Philadelphia Eagles at Tennessee Titans ·
Eagles Convert Another Third Down
Philadelphia converts another third down, continuing the execution that has been so damaging for Tennessee. It remains a major concern for our Titans +7 bet.
Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans ·
Another Rush Interception Gives Burrow a Chance
Cooper Rush throws another interception, giving Joe Burrow and Cincinnati a chance to capitalize. The key now is whether they can move against Houston’s defense, because the Texans’ offense looks as bad as it did last year so far—a concern for our Texans -2.5 bet.
New Orleans Saints at Baltimore Ravens ·
Ravens Keep Making Derrick Henry a Priority
Derrick Henry adds another touchdown, and Baltimore is clearly making it a priority to get him the ball. That continued emphasis is a positive development for our Ravens -8.5 bet.
Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots ·
Henderson Flashes Last Year’s Form on Big Touchdown Run

Philadelphia Eagles at Tennessee Titans ·
Ward Sneak Turns Hurts Interception Into Points

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons ·
Panthers Show Confidence With Big Fourth-and-Goal Conversion
Carolina converts a huge fourth-and-goal. Going for it shows a lot of confidence in the Panthers’ offense and creates an early concern for our Falcons +2.5 bet.
Philadelphia Eagles at Tennessee Titans ·
Hurts Interception Creates a Massive Swing for Titans +7
Jalen Hurts throws a major interception that is returned nearly the entire length of the field—from one goal line to the other. A massive turn of events for our Titans +7 bet.
Philadelphia Eagles at Tennessee Titans ·
Eagles Keep Converting Back-Breaking Third-and-Longs
Even without A.J. Brown and despite all the changes, the Eagles are still really good at converting third-and-long. Those conversions just break the back of a defense and are a major concern for our Titans +7 bet.
Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears ·
Bears Defense Starts Slowly as Justin Jefferson Locks In
The Bears’ defense is off to another rough start. Justin Jefferson is beginning to lock in, which is an early concern for our Bears -5.5 bet.
