Bearman:Â Here is an under I love. It has the same 42 number as the Ravens/Titans game from this morning but with two offenses that are much worse.

The Raiders are 2-3 despite not topping 20 points in one game yet this season, and the Patriots have three total points in their last eight quarters. The last time they found the end zone was in the second quarter of Week 3.
Unless either one of these teams finally figures it out, this one should stay well under 42.
Pick: Under 42 (-112 at DraftKings)
Detroit Lions vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction

Lions -3 - Moneyline
Lions -166, Buccaneers +140 - Total

Katz:Â Death. Taxes. Jared Goff throwing no more than one touchdown on the road. We are going on 13 of his last 14 road starts where Goff has not thrown more than a single touchdown. It’s a thing.
The Bucs have allowed just four passing touchdowns all season, and they’re coming off their bye. I think they win this game and limit Goff to no more than one touchdown pass.
Pick: Jared Goff under 1.5 passing touchdowns (-110 at DraftKings)
Arizona Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Rams Prediction

Blewis:Â It looked like Matthew Stafford was on pace for a big day against the Eagles last week, as Cooper Kupp looked like his normal self in his first game back from injury, and Puka Nacua was still heavily involved in the game plan. But the Eagles’ pass rush was too much for them to handle, as the Rams were shut out in the second half.

This week, however, they’ll be facing a Cardinals defense that is 31st in dropback success rate and 28th in pass rush win rate. Stafford’s passing yards prop right now is at 277.5, a number he easily cleared in their two wins this season.
This Cardinals defense is significantly worse than any they have faced all season, and with Stafford and Kupp both at full strength — plus Nacua’s emergence — I like this Rams passing offense to have a monster day.
Pick: Matthew Stafford over 277.5 passing yards (-114 at FanDuel)
Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Jets Prediction

Blewis:Â The Eagles might be missing both Darius Slay and Jalen Carter, but I think the Jets’ injuries will hurt them even worse. Both Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed are also out, leaving New York without their starting corners against A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
This is in addition to losing their best offensive lineman, Alijah Vera-Tucker, to a season-ending Achilles injury last week, right before a meeting with this Eagles defensive line.
For Philadelphia, this is a really advantageous matchup for them. They have been the best run defense in the NFL this season and should be able to contain Breece Hall even without Carter. This defensive line should get after Zach Wilson and make life miserable for him today, considering the mismatch between them and the Jets’ offensive line.
Meanwhile, offensively, despite their red-zone struggles, the Eagles have finally started to get into a groove. They can beat you in a variety of ways, and without Gardner and Reed today, Jalen Hurts is in for an easier day throwing the football than originally expected.
Pick: Eagles -6.5 (-115 at FanDuel)
