I need to calm myself from the election dopamine and focus on the task at hand. I went 4-1 last week to kick of Q3, so I haven’t blown it yet. One week at a time, one 4-1 or 5-0 at a time is how you do it.
Bengals at Ravens — The Bengals are playing better of late, maybe make it Bengals +6, but I’m staying away on the short week.
Giants vs Panthers — The Panthers are a good sell high, and the Giants are playing okay. I’ll say Giants -4.5 and probably lay the wood.
Patriots at Bears — The Bears are the buy-low off the bad loss. I’ll make it Patriots +7.5 and lay the wood.
Bills at Colts — The Bills are on a roll, but the Colts are scrappy in their way. I’ll say Bills -4 and stay away.
Vikings at Jaguars — Man, Trevor Lawrence threw a disastrous pick to lose last week. I’ll say Vikings -2.5. Would consider Minnesota.
Broncos at Chiefs — The Broncos got schooled against an explosive Ravens team, but might be a buy low. Probably Broncos +7.5, I’m thinking.
Falcons at Saints — The Saints have no skill players except Alvin Kamara. Let’s make it Falcons -3 and probably stay away.
49ers at Buccaneers — Both teams are desperate for a win, the 49ers off the bye and the Bucs off the short week. I’ll say 49ers -2.5 and probably lay the wood.
Steelers at Indigenous Peoples — The Steelers off the bye feel like a good spot here against an IP team fortunate to win its last two games. I’ll say Steelers +2.5 and consider them.
Titans at Chargers — The Titans are bad. I’ll make it Titans +8.5 and maybe take the Chargers.
Jets at Cardinals — The Cardinals are playing well, but the Jets still have players. I’ll say Jets +2.5 and stay away.
Eagles at Cowboys — The Cowboys are a train wreck. Eagles -7.5 and stay away.
Lions at Texans — The Lions might be the league’s best team, and the Texans can’t pass protect. I’ll say Lions -3.5, but probably stay away.
Dolphins at Rams — This is actually a good game with everyone healthy again. I’ll say Dolphins +2 and stay away.
