THE PLAY: Nebraska 210

This is a free play on NEB.

It sounds like the Dylan Raoiola Bowl isn't gonna happen. He's been benched in favor of the Ducks fourth string QB, and still the Ducks are the big favorite at home. I have my concerns about the trajectory of this Oregon football program as it becomes clear that their goal of a National Championship is no longer a possibility. Don't be surprised if the Ducks lose this game outright!

THE PLAY: Las Vegas Raiders Total Over 23.5 (-126)

This is a Free play on LV TT Over.

I am not sure I want to bet on Vegas to win or cover in this game, but I do think they should score some points. The Bills defense has been terrible this season, particularly against the pass. The Bills rank 31st in the NFL allowing over 280 yards per game. The Raiders can certainly take advantage of that, as Kirk Cousins ranks 2nd in the NFL with a dozen passing TDs. At home in an indoor game, the Raiders should get theirs in what I think will be a high scoring game.

THE PLAY: BYU +10.5 (-108)

This is a free play on BYU.

The Irish are the better team, they have more talent. That doesn't change the fact that they have not been tested, and they are in a hostile environment in a night game at BYU. Did you know that the Cougars are 21-1 in home night games since 2019. They are 43-4 in all night games home and away during that span. Yes they will miss LJ Martin, and yeah Bear Bachmeier will have to play like a Heisman candidate for the Cougars to compete here. I still wouldn't bet against them, especially catching double digits.

THE PLAY: Dallas Cowboys +1.5 (-114)

This is a free play on DAL.

We saw a record 51 turnovers in Sunday's NFL games, and Green Bay was one of the teams that benefited the most from that. Their blowout win over the Bears came thanks to five Chicago turnovers. The Packers wins have come in overtime at the Jets in a game that New York dominated in the box score and should have won. They beat practice squad quarterback in Tampa and they won at home against Chicago's 2nd and 3rd string QBs in a game effected by turnovers. That gives them a grand total of zero legit wins if you are asking me. Dallas is still elite offensively, and the Pack aren't the best equipped to take advantage of their defensive shortcomings.

THE PLAY: Atlanta Falcons 140

This is a free play on ATL moneyline.

The line suggests that Caleb Williams is set to return after suffering what appeared to be a career ending injury against the Vikings. The status of RB1 Kyle Monangai is even more uncertain, and if he does return he will likely not be 100 percent given the turf toe diagnosis. The Bears lead the NFL in rushing, but it's a tough matchup against the Falcons defense that has been one of the top units versus the run. The Falcons are the #2 ranked rushing offense, and the Bears defense doesn't matchup well against Bijan Robinson. If both starting QBs play, this is a case of the wrong team favored IMO.

THE PLAY: Carolina Panthers +1.5 (-115)

This is a free play on Carolina.

The Eagles appeared to have punted on the season heading into their game in London versus Jacksonville. We saw that line moved from -2.5 all the way to -7.5 at kickoff. We saw a far more competitive game than most people expected, and the Eagles really should have won. The fact that they did lose, combined with the way they lost, combined with the international travel sets them up for a huge let down. The injuries have piled up, leaving them with 4th string and practice squad running backs this week. Carolina ranks 31st in the NFL against the run, allowing 156 yards per game. Can the Eagles exploit that with a thin offensive line and practice squad running backs? My thought is that they probably can't.
