Intelligent Analysis of the NFL Compliments From ~Hårr¥THëHÄT~ ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Quarterback Deshaun Watson was lost for the year already before backup Doria Thompson-Robinson went into concussion protocol. The team has signed 38-year-old former journeyman and Super Bowl XLVII MVP Joe Flacco who will the start this weekend The Rams have an injury report that isn't nearly as long as their opponents and it shouldn't come as a surprise that success has come as they've gotten healthier. Cooper Kupp (ankle) is probable, which is a key for this offense and is the most notable name on the injury report. With depth being an advantage, that could be crucial in this one.
Los Angeles has seen their offense grow in confidence over recent weeks and they'll be excited at the prospects of facing an inexperienced quarterback without some key weapons in this one. On the offensive end, they have some concerns of their own against the NFL's top-ranked defense. Matt Stafford continues to lead the charge but it's the running game that will have to be the difference. This is a game in which the Rams will dominate, and they will build on Cleveland having to give up some key players on the offensive side. Going out on the road with mounting quarterback questions is never ideal, and issues at running back and wide receiver are also concerning. For LA, the emergence of their ground game as of late means the offense is much more balanced and able to compete with the best defense in the league, which will certainly come in handy in this game. Being at home should help, while Cleveland having to travel around the country for the second week in a row will certainly be a challenge and make a difference. Expect the Rams to dominate from the start and continue their recent streak of success in this series. Rams -$200 on the money. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Not enough value here to take the one point, play the Titans on the moneyline. Tennessee is a home divisional dog, with the better coach and better quarterback. The Colts have been surviving on an easy stretch in their schedule, wins over Carolina, New England and Tampa do not carry that much weight. Jonathan Taylor played in all of those games, he is listed as doubtful, but he is undergoing surgery on his thumb from an injury last week, he is not going to play. This takes a huge part of the ground game away, forcing the Colts to rely more on Gardnew Minshew. Minshew has turned into a career backup for a reason, he only has an 8-7 TD-INT ratio, and averages under 180 yards per game. The Titans stars are healthy, Derrick Henry and DeAndre Hopkins will be ready for this matchup, and Levis has showed signs that he can be the guy in Tennessee. Mike Vrabel finds ways to win ugly games, and a Levis-Minshew battle is not going to be a shootout. The Titans have the best defense the Colts have seen in a while, and they will not be able to generate offense without their top back. -$105 on the money /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////These two last met in 2021, with Kansas City scrapping out a 13-7 win at home. Four of the last five meetings have taken place in K.C., but the Packers are 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS in that stretch. The Packers are doing well right now from a wins standpoint, but they have certainly had luck in their corner. Chiefs offense has a much longer track record of success so the team's second half against Vegas was not only encouraging but likely a sign of things to come. KC mixed the power running of Pacheco with short passes, with many going to rookie Rice. Despite all the drops this season from his wideouts, Mahomes may have found something in the rookie Rice. One look at the Packers' injury report and you can't help but notice that there are five defensive backs on the list despite having ten days off. It is never a good recipe to come into a game against Patrick Mahomes with a banged-up secondary. If Kansas City gets 400-plus yards of offense against them, they’ll light up the scoreboard. Mahomes will be able to shuffle in the backfield to get through the Packers defense. They won’t pressure him too much and giving the K.C. quarterback any time is foolish. Seven of the eight Kansas City wins this season have come by at least seven points. The Packers have not been great at home this season, going 2-3 SU and 3-2 ATS at Lambeau. Away from Arrowhead, the Chiefs have gone 4-1 SU and ATS this season. My Bet Kansas City -5 1/2 [ buying the hook ] Hedging The Money Line $-240 Press ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// [ 2 team 7 point teaser Rams +3 & Chiefs +1 ////////// 2 team 7 point teaser Titans + 8 & Chiefs +1///////// Titans 2 team 7 point teaser Rams +3 & Titans + 8 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 3 team 7 point teaser Titans + 8 & Chiefs +1 & Rams +3///// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// https://www.footballdb.com/standings/index.html
