Green Bay Packers -7.5 (DraftKings SportsBook) OVER the New York Giants.
The Packers are simply the better team despite both being teams being 3-1. Both teams run the ball effectively and struggle to stop the run but the big difference is quarter back and defense. The Packers defense is easily top 10 and could push for top 5. They have a great secondary and a relentless pass rush that doesn’t stop led by edge rusher Rashan Gary. Look for the Packers to get a lead and clamp down in the Giant’s passing game. Packers 27-13.
Minnesota Vikings -7.5 (DraftKings SportsBook) over the Chicago Bears.
The Vikings have looked a little lack luster despite winning their past two games but they should get it going both running and passing. I see them approaching 30 points at home and forcing Bears QB Justin Fileds into a pressure situation. The Vikings have a lot more horses on both sides of the football. They look great this time at home.
Vikings 31-13
New Orleans Saints -5.5 (DraftKings SportsBook) over the Seattle Seahawks
Isn’t it surprising that the Saints are 5.5 point favorites despite losing 3 in a row? Despite not knowing if QB Jamies Winston, RB Alvin Kamara, or WR Michael Thomas are even going to play? It is isn’t it. This line opened at 4.5 and went to 5.5 because the sharps are on New Orleans. The line has also remained this way despite 64% of betting public are on the Seahawks. It has been my experience that betting public Dogs is flushing money down the toilet. The Saints have a much better physical defense that will be too much for Seattle to handle causing QB Geno Smith and what has been a high-powered offense come back to earth. On the other side, the Saints offensive line will push the Seahawks around putting whoever the Saints skilled position players are at a great advantage. Saints 27-13
Player Props
RB Dalvin Cook OVER 77.5 yards rushing (-115) DraftKings Sportsbook.
Bears give up 5.1 yards per carry. Lead backs have gone well over 100 yards the past 3 weeks. Dalvin has been off to slow start and we always have to worry about injuries but if he gets 20 rushes like last week then he should easily topple this.
RB Raheem Mostert over 54.5 yards rushing (-120) DraftKings Sportsbook.
Mostert in a fast, hard runner. He faces the New York Jets run defense that only allows 3.7 yards per attempt but they did allow 74 yards rushing to RB Najee Harris last week and he doesn’t run with that burst and anger Mostert does. Also, the volume should be there as he had 15 carries for 69 yards last week and were trailing. Mostert is another back you worry about leaving the game due to injury but I have him at 20 carries and 80 yards.
QB Zach Wilson OVER 218.5 yard passing (-115) DraftKings Sportsbook
I know we only have one game to look at but this isn’t the same Zach Wilson we seen last year. The New York Jets added a bunch of offensive talent through free agency and the draft. The additions of WR Garrett Wilson, TE Tyler Conklin, and RB Breece Hall give him many more options but also open the field up better for WR Corey Davis, WR Elijah Moore, and RB Michael Carter. I have his floor at 220 with a ceiling approaching 300 on a good day. It will not be long until the prop makers catch up to his ability and for now we take advantage.
