Sunday, Morning Game

Texans at Jaguars (+1.5)
ATS – 52% Jaguars

The loss of J.J. Watt obviously is deflating for Houston. It’s also huge from an on-field standpoint, as Watt is a matchup nightmare — he had been double teamed on 29.8 percent of his pass rushes as an edge rusher this season (second-most in NFL) — who teams must game plan for weekly. Couple that with Leonard Fournette’s elusiveness, Gardner Minshew’s scrambling ability and Houston’s frequent tackling woes, and Jacksonville should cover, especially since the Jags have made the trip to London in each of the last six years and therefore have some familiarity with how to prepare for overseas contests. ~ Ricky Doyle (NESN)

Sunday, Early Games

Bears at Eagles (-5)
ATS – 66% Eagles

The Eagles will be able to attack the Chicago run defense with a versatile two-headed attack of Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders. The Bears are also the most-targeted defense with running backs out of the backfield, and Sanders ranks first among NFL running backs in yards per reception (14.4). ~ Mike Cole (NESN)

Vikings at Chiefs (+1.5)
ATS – 56% Vikings

The Chiefs have lost three straight at home and will almost certainly be without Patrick Mahomes here. That means Matt Moore again. He was solid last week against the Packers, but Minnesota will put up a stiffer defensive challenge. ~ Pete Prisco (CBS Sports)

Redskins at Bills (-9)
ATS – 51% Bills

Buffalo burned me last week and pretty much all year, but I’ll lay the points again and hope things with the Redskins start to even themselves out. Two weeks ago, Washington covered without scoring. Last week, the Skins covered without forcing a punt. I’ll play the averages here. ~ Mike Cole (NESN)

Colts at Steelers (+1.5)
ATS – 69% Colts

The Colts are a significantly better team than the Steelers, who just had to survive the tanking Dolphins in their own building. Mason Rudolph looked atrocious for most of Monday night, and Pittsburgh might be without James Conner and are banged up on the offensive line on a short week. The Colts should be giving a field goal in this one. ~ Gary Gramling (Sports Illustrated)

Jets at Dolphins (+3.5)
ATS – 62% Jets

The betting line was close to six points before the Jets listened to offers for just about all their good players at Tuesday’s trade deadline. Maybe Jamal Adams isn’t happy that New York explored dealing him, but that won’t stop him from making big plays against the NFL’s worst scoring offense. Facing a Miami defense that ranks dead last with a 120.2 opponents’ passer rating might be just what Sam Darnold needs to get back on track, at least for a week. ~ Anthony Riccobono (IB Times)

Titans at Panthers (-3.5)
ATS – 66% Panthers

Yes, the Titans have won both of Ryan Tannehill’s starts at quarterback. No, the Titans have not played particularly well or deserved to win either. They’re far more limited offensively than the Panthers, which should be a bigger favorite if not for an overreaction to their 51-13 loss as 4.5-point underdogs at San Francisco last week. ~ Case Keefer (Las Vegas Sun)

Sunday, Late Games

Buccaneers at Seahawks (-5)
ATS – 54% Seahawks

The Bucs are very good against the run and the Seahawks also tend to take away the traditional power rushing attack with Bobby Wagner. It’s a whole lot easier to trust Wilson to commit zero turnovers, while it’s expected and implied every week that Winston will have multiple giveaways. ~ Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News)

Lions at Raiders (-2)
ATS – 60% Lions

Sneaky good game. The Raiders (3-4) and Lions (3-3-1) both need to win. A loss for either would be devastating. Oakland is at home, but the Raiders have yet to beat a top-tier quarterback this season. Matthew Stafford is playing great football, and that’s the difference here. ~ Matt Verderame (FanSided)

Browns at Broncos (+3.5)
ATS – 72% Browns

Before he was ruled out because of a herniated disc in his neck, Joe Flacco ripped the Broncos’ play-calling as “timid” and said they were “afraid to lose.” Well, they should be accustomed to it by now. They will get more comfortable with it with Brandon Allen at QB. ~ Gerry Dulac (Pittsburgh Post Gazette)

Packers at Chargers (+3.5)
ATS – 81% Packers

The Chargers fired offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, and quarterbacks coach Shane Steichen now will call the plays. This might mark an improvement, but it’s an unknown quantity, and Aaron Rodgers meanwhile is on a tear. ~ Ricky Doyle (NESN)

Sunday Night

Patriots at Ravens (+3)
ATS – 58% Patriots

TThe Patriots once again face an inexperienced quarterback in Lamar Jackson. Since 2016, the Pats are 18-0 SU and 13-5 ATS vs. QBs with 20 or fewer games of experience. This Ravens defense is also nothing like the ones the Pats used to face back in the day. They allow 6.1 yards per play (29th in NFL) and have the fifth-fewest sacks and hurries. ~ Andre Khatchaturian (NESN)

Monday Night

Cowboys at Giants (+7)
ATS – 67% Cowboys

They will come out fine-tuned offensively with Ezekiel Elliott running well and setting up big plays in the passing game as is their usual mojo with Kellen Moore. Daniel Jones will hang in there, but eventually Dallas’ edge on the defensive front will come through as he won’t get to hit any deep balls and will be stuck throwing a lot of balls into tight coverage. ~ Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News)
