Chicago Bears -5, 2 units: How do the Raiders score? They're terrible on the road and now they've been in London all week. Daniel is an upgrade and has had an entire week for Nagy to build a game plan for him. Mack wants this one badly and as the emotional leader of the defense his teammates will as well.
Arizona Cardinals +3, 1 unit: One team is motivated the other team is the Bengals. One team has skill players on the outside who can make plays the other is the Bengals. One team has a QB who can create for himself the other is the Bengals. One team has an excellent running back and can run the ball the other is the Bengals.
Minnesota Vikings -5.5, 1 unit: Cousins is bad against good teams but he is good in bounce back spots. Big difference for Jones facing this defense without Barkley versus the Bucs and Redskins. Vikings were dominated from start to finish last week and I expect a maximum effort from them.
New York Jets +14, 1 unit: Yup, I just backed Luke Falk. Someone smack me. Just too many points to give a team coming off a bye and while Falk is bad he's had two weeks to get ready. Wentz and the Eagles not traditionally good as huge favorites. Jets D will need to make a few plays.
New Orleans Saints -3 (-105), 1 unit: Getting value here because the Bucs surprised the Rams last week. I don't trust Jameis to put together two good weeks in a row, especially in the Superdome. Look for the Saints to run the ball at will and put Bridgewater in very manageable situations. Saints are one of the few teams that can leave their corners alone on the Bucs WRs and generate pressure with an extra rusher.
