Texans @ Colts
Line: Colts -2.5 -118 Total: 37.5
Meaningless game except for draft position. Texans clinch 1st overall pick with loss. Teams tied 20-20 week 1. Matt Ryan threw for 352 yds and a td, Jonathan Taylor ran for 161 yds and a td and Pittman caught 9 passes for 121 yds and a td. Ryan and Taylor will not play today, Pittman needs 105 rec yds today to reach 1000 for the season. Ehlinger gets 3rd start of season, he was 0-2 in his first 2 starts and sacked 11 times.
-Colts scored just 2 offensive tds in last 13 qtrs.
Texans are 3-17 SU all time at Indianapolis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vikings @ Bears
Line: Vikings -7 -110 Total: 42.5
Vikings won 29-22 at Chicago in week 5. Fields threw for 208 and a td and added 47 yds rushing, he will not play today. For Minnesota Cousins threw for 296 yds and a td and ran for a td, Jefferson had 12 catches for 154 yds and the Vikings rode Dalvin Cook for 18 carries 94 yds and 2 tds. Minnesota is pretty much locked into the 3 seed in the NFC unless San Francisco stumbles against the lowly Cardinals which is unlikely, however after the beat down the Vikings took against Green Bay last week they would probably like to right the ship here and get some momentum back going into the playoffs. Bears could get #1 overall pick with a loss and a Texans win. Peterman will get the start today for Chicago, it is his 5th career start and first since 2018.
-Jefferson leads the league in receiving and has an outside shot (longshot) at breaking the regular season record if he was to have a monster game
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ravens @ Bengals
Line: Bengals -9.5 -105 Total: 39.5
Ravens won first match up 19-17 in week 5. Burrow was held to just 217 yds passing, Tee Higgins left the game with an injury and stud receiver Chase had 7 catches for just 50 yds. Ravens were led by Lamar Jackson's 174 yds passing and 58 yds rushing and TE Andrews added 8 catches for 89 yds and a td. Lamar will not play today. Both teams are already in the playoffs and the Bengals have clinched the division title however a loss today would force a coin toss to determine if Cincy would host or travel in round 1 of the playoffs.
-Since week 14 JK Dobbins is the NFL's leading rusher with 397 yds including 13 runs of 10+ yds.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jets @ Dolphins
Line: Dolphins -3.5 -108 Total: 37.5
Jets were eliminated from the playoffs after the loss to the Seahawks last week. Dolphins need a win here and a Patriots loss to the Bills to sneak into the playoffs. Both teams have lost 5 straight, Jets blew out Miami in week 5 40-17. Zach Wilson started that game throwing for 210 yds and ran for a td, 3 other Jet ball carriers scored additional tds. Veteran Flacco will start for New York today and the Dolphins will count on 3rd string QB Thompson who also started the week 5 game.
-Jets rookie wr Garrett Wilson has 74 catches and 1014 yds despite a qb carousel and could win offensive ROY with a strong perfomance here today
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Panthers @ Saints
Line: Saints -3.5 -105 Total: 41.5
Panthers won the first matchup back in week three 22-14. Baker Mayfield was the QB, McCaffrey was the RB and Matt Rhule was the HC. All those guys are gone and the Panthers were eliminated from the playoffs last week losing at Tampa. Saints started Qb Winston in the first game, he threw for 353 yds and a td and rookie wr Olave had 9 catches for 147 yds (career high). He needs 18 yds receiving to reach 1000 and would become just the third Saints WR to reach that milestone.
-Saints Rookie Shaheed has had 75+ receiving yds in 3 of his last 4 games and averages 18.2 yds per catch. Expect Dalton to test this banged up Panthers secondary who were torched for 400+ yds and 3 long tds last week.
-Saints QB Dalton needs 301 yds passing to reach 3000 yds for the 9th time in his career
-Panthers WR DJ Moore needs 122 yds receiving to reach his 4th straight 1000 yd season and he has scored 4 tds in his last 5 games.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patriots @ Bills
Line: Bills -7.5 -115 Total: 43.5
Emotional game here after Monday's Hamlin situation. Bills won 24-10 first matchup at New England. Allen threw for 223 and 2 tds and Diggs caught 7 for 92 yds and a td. Patriots need a win for playoffs, Bills win clinches 2 seed in AFC.
-Mac Jones needs 247 yds passing for 3000 this season. Stevenson needs 14 yds rushing for 1000.
-11 of 15 Buffalo games stayed under the total this year but the over is 2-0 last two
-Patriots are 7-2 ATS last 9 at Buffalo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bucs @ Falcons
Line: Falcons -4.5 -104 Total: 40.5
Bucs won first matchup in week five 21-15. Brady threw for 351 yds and a td. Fournette rushed for 56 yds and a td and caught 10 passes for 83 yds and a td. Mariota threw for 147 yds and rushed for 61 yds for the Falcons. Falcons rookie qb Ridder will start today and you have to think many of the Bucs starters will not see too much playing time with the 4 seed wrapped up.
-Brady needs 9 completions to break his own record of 485 in a season
-Falcons Rookie RB Allgier needs 100 yds to reach 1000 and has scored a td in 2 of the last 3 games
-Godwin needs 2 catches for his first ever 100 catch season and 32 yds for his 3rd 1000 yd season
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Browns @ Steelers
Line: Steelers -2.5 -112 Total: 40.5
Browns won first matchup back in week three 29-17. Brissett threw for 220 and 2 tds, Chubb ran for 113 yds and a td and Cooper and Njoku both caught tds. Trubisky threw for 207 yds for Pitt and Harris scored a rushing td. Today we will have different starting qbs for both with rookie Pickett going for the Steelers and Watson for Cleveland. Pittsbugh has an outside shot at playoffs with a win and Patriot and Dolphins losses. Browns ran for 171 yds in first matchup but TJ Watt did not play. Steelers have never finished under .500 under HC Tomlin
-Steelers 15-1 all time in home regular season finales vs Cleveland. Steelers 12-3 in regular season finales under Tomlin
-Harris needs 46 yds rushing for 1000
***Dionte Johnson has 84 receptions this year but 0 tds***
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rams @ Seahawks
Line: Seahawks -6 -110 Total: 41.5
Seahawks won 27-23 first game. Geno threw for 367 yds and 3 tds, Lockett and Metcalf both went over 100 yds and caught tds. Wolford was Rams Qb, he had 178 yds passing and Akers led the way on the ground with 60 yds and 2 tds. Seahawks need win and Packers loss for playoffs.
-Rookie RB Walker needs 64 yds rushing for 1000
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chargers @ Broncos
Line: Broncos -3 -115 Total: 39.5
Chargers won 19-16 in week 6. Herbert had 238 yds passing and Ekeler scored a rushing td. For Denver, Wilson had 188 yds and a td. This game is most likely meaningless for the Chargers who are already in the playoffs and will most likely rest starters if the Bengals beat Baltimore in the 1pm game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Giants @ Eagles
Line: Eagles -16.5 -112 Total: 42.5
Eagles won first matchup 48-22. Giants will rest starters today, Eagles wrap up 1 seed with win. Not much to write up here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cardinals @ 49ers
Line: 49ers -14.5 -105 Total: 39.5
49ers won first matchup 38-10. Cardinals are ready to play golf. JJ Watts last NFL game. Niners with outside shot at 1 seed but unlikely. Niners won 9 straight
-Aiyuk needs 44 yds receiving for first 1000 yd season
-Rookie QB Purdy has thrown at least 2 td passes in 5 straight games
-Kittle has at least 1 td in three straight games
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cowboys @ Commanders
Cowboys won first matchup in week four 25-10. Washington QB Howell makes debut today. Cowboys will scoreboard watch needing the Eagles to lose for this game to matter. Might see Cowboys starters pulled by 2nd half.
-Commanders Rookie WR Dotson is tied for most tds by a rookie with 7 this season and is 1 away from tying the franchise record for a rookie
Line: Colts -2.5 -118 Total: 37.5
