DAVE PRICE
Dave’s Sunday Bonus Play:
1* on Philadelphia Eagles -5
The Key: The Eagles played their best game of the season last week in a 34-13 road win over the New York Giants. They are getting healthy, and Carson Wentz is starting to look comfortable, and the defense is getting back to being the dominant unit it was a year ago. That’s a scary proposition for the Carolina Panthers Sunday. The Panthers are 0-2 on the road with a 24-31 loss to the banged-up Falcons and a 17-23 loss to the Redskins. The Eagles get extra rest and time to prepare after playing last Thursday. The Eagles are 6-0 ATS in home games off an ATS win over the last 2 seasons. The Panthers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. Take Philadelphia.

Saints vs. Ravens
Ravens-2½
With all the focus on the Saints offense, the Ravens offense is going to go out there and win this game. The Ravens are going to control this game. They are going to make the Saints play their style of game; they’re going to control the game with long drives and they’re going to win. The Ravens defense is going to sack Drew Brees four times and come away with at least one turnover. This is going to be the signature win for the purple and black that shows that the Ravens are in for big things this season.
The Ravens beat the Saints 30-24 in 2010. The Saints came out swinging, but the Ravens threw the last punch. That’s how I see this game going. While it’s been eight years and the two teams are completely different, it serves as a model for how the Ravens can get the job done. Back then it was a similar story. The Saints offense was great and so was the Ravens defense. The Ravens offense ended up doing just a bit more in a tough game. That’s what I see this game as, a tough game that the Ravens have a great shot to win. If they win this one, there aren’t many games the Ravens can’t win.

Bills vs. Colts
Colts-7
The Buffalo Bills held the Texans to 229 yards of total offense at Houston last week, but still lost the game 20-13. They mustered only 229 yards of total offense themselves and average a poor 12.7 points per game for the season.
Here Buffalo will face a Colts side desperate for a win, entering the Week with a poor 1-5 record after four consecutive losses. Offense has not been an issue for the Colts though as they average 25.3 points and 369.2 yards per game on the season. They've averaged a solid 30.7 ppg through their last three games. Indy quarterback Andrew Luck leads the NFL in pass completions, is second with 16 TDs and the Colts rank 10th in the NFL in passing yards per contest.
Buffalo will turn to Derek Anderson under center. The 35 year old veteran was without a job two weeks ago. The last time Anderson started a game was 2016 and he last played in an NFL game last January. The Colts have an excellent pass rush and are tied for third in the NFL with 19 sacks.
I don't see Buffalo keeping up with this explosive Colts offense.
Free pick on Indianapolis Colts.
