Pittsburgh Steelers (+3) over WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
As Stringer Bell said in “The Wire,” “Put the word on the market that we back up.”
After a slow start, two underdogs delivered us a 2-0 week.
We’re going with one other underdog here in a matchup that ought to be tight.
Pittsburgh is coming off its bye week, which should help, while Washington has had some close calls recently against the Bears and Giants.
You may run on the Commanders and their Thirtieth-ranked rushing defense, and expect Pittsburgh to reap the benefits of that deficiency behind the rejuvenated Najee Harris.
Russell Wilson has been solid throwing the ball, and Marshon Lattimore just isn’t going to alter that secondary in lower than per week.
The Commanders definitely can win this game, but we like the possibility of an outright upset while getting the sector goal.
Minnesota Vikings (-7) over JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
We’re jumping on this spread with the belief Trevor Lawrence doesn’t play and Mac Jones shall be under center.
Jones is a nasty quarterback, and Brian Flores’ defense has been incredible for a lot of the season.
Flores should scheme some looks that can show the world why Jones is now a backup quarterback.
The Jaguars’ defense can be awful, and their Thirty first-ranked pass defense shall be helpless against Justin Jefferson.
Betting on the NFL?
Though the massive favorites have burned us, it seems like we’re getting a good price here.
We’re also buying into the concept the Jaguars may begin mailing it in knowing Lawrence’s season might be doubtful.
Minnesota can’t afford a slip-up against an inferior opponent and may cruise to a road win.
Last week: 2-0. Patriots (W), Buccaneers (W)
Season: 6-12.
