Top pick
1. San Francisco 49ers (-4) vs. Phi – The Eagles are beat up along the OL and that will be noticeable facing the 49ers on Sunday. Expect San Francisco to get back to its roots – running the ball – and pull out the home W by a TD.
Next
2. Baltimore Ravens (-3) vs. Car – The Panthers have issues on offense. They’re banged up at RB and Cam Newton is not fully healthy. Their new set of receivers are still getting acclimated too. While their D will keep them in the game, Baltimore is a tough place to play.
3. New England Patriots (-3) vs. KC – The Pats went through the motions en route to their 16-9 win over the Raiders last week. They’ll be much improved on MNF. The Chiefs salvaged their season in Miami but will fall to 1-3 here.
4. Tampa Buccaneers (+7) vs. Pit – See money line bet.
Rounding things out
Houston Texans (-3) vs. Buf – The Bills have had trouble getting their passing game going. RB Arian Foster should return which will help out.
Green Bay Packers (-2) vs. Chi – The Packers are desperate and QB Aaron Rodgers has the Bears number.
Oakland Raiders (+3) vs. Mia – Both are on a neutral field but it’s Miami that’s imploding moreso than the Raiders.
Money Line Bet
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+290) vs. Pit – In a week lacking with good underdogs, the Bucs have a real chance to steal a game on the road. They’re coming off a 10-day layoff and starting Mike Glennon, who could be more effective than Josh McCown. Pittsburgh is also down three key starters on defense which will be difficult to overcome.
