The Rams opened as 4.5-point favorites before both teams won in Week 8. Tennessee Titans (+7.5) at Los Angeles Rams The 49ers held the Cardinals to 17 points in Arizona, and San Francisco’s offense should be improved with Jimmy Garoppolo starting this time over Trey Lance. Murray’s performance declined last year when he was less than 100% healthy. With Kyler Murray battling an ankle injury, San Francisco has a real chance to pull off the upset. Aaron Rodgers is playing far better than Patrick Mahomes this year.Īrizona Cardinals (-2.5) at San Francisco 49ers Green Bay has four more days of rest than Kansas City and remains undefeated since losing in Week 1. The Chiefs were lucky to beat the Giants Monday night. It’s probably time to stop waiting for Kansas City to turn its season around. Green Bay Packers (+1) at Kansas City Chiefs Look for Justin Herbert to bounce back after consecutive mediocre performances. The Eagles haven’t been able to hang with playoff-caliber teams. Los Angeles Chargers (-1.5) at Philadelphia Eaglesĭon’t be fooled by Philadelphia’s 44-6 win over Detroit. Each of Atlanta’s last five games has been decided by seven points or fewer. Sunday’s contest should feature a similar result with New Orleans finding a way to win a low-scoring game. The Saints beat the Falcons 21-16 with Taysom Hill under center last season. Miami isn’t good enough to be favored by more than six points.Ītlanta Falcons (+6) at New Orleans Saints If Tyrod Taylor makes his return from injury, Houston might have the best quarterback in this game. Cincinnati is the only AFC team that ranks in the top eight in both yards per play and opponents’ yards per play.īoth teams are 1-7 with no wins since the season opener. The Browns have failed to score more than 17 points in four of their last five games. Injuries to Baker Mayfield and the offensive line, as well as Odell Beckham’s ineffectiveness, give Cleveland an underwhelming offense. The Ravens have a pair of wins by fewer than three points and another victory that came in overtime. Minnesota’s four losses have come by 15 total points.Ĭleveland Browns (+2.5) at Cincinnati Bengals This could be another example with Baltimore coming off a bye. The Vikings keep finding ways to lose heartbreakers against good teams. Minnesota Vikings (+5.5) at Baltimore Ravens The Patriots would be on a four-game winning streak if they didn’t lose to the Cowboys in overtime. New England is holding opposing quarterbacks to an 82.5 passer rating. Walker who gets the start, Carolina’s quarterback will have a lot of trouble against Bill Belichick’s defense. New England Patriots (-4) at Carolina Panthers Denver's defense can keep this within 10 points. Maybe the Cowboys will rest their starter for another game since Cooper Rush proved he can win with this roster. Dak Prescott will probably play, though that was the expectation early last week.
