New England Patriots (3-4) @ New York Jets (5-2)


Lines: NE -2 / O/U 40.5


The two drives we saw from Bailey Zappe last week after Mac Jones was benched is easily the most electric I’ve seen Foxborough look since Brady left. Is anyone else getting a little annoyed with these teams in New York? The Jets have no business being 5-2 and even after the Breece Hall ACL tear, this team looks like a problem in the AFC. To be fair they haven’t beaten the Patriots since 2015.. Saying they’re due might be an understatement.


Ryan: Patriots

Vince: Jets

Maher: Jets

Patrick: Jets

Nick: Jets

James: Jets

Zach: Patriots



Arizona Cardinals (3-4) @ Minnesota Vikings (5-1)


Lines: MIN -3.5 / O/U 48.5


So you’re telling me the Cardinals are on the road, The Vikings are coming off their bye week, and Call Of Duty just dropped? I would be surprised if Kyler even makes the flight to Minnesota. The Cardinals defense is so tough to gauge right now as they picked off Andy Dalton 3x last week, yet also gave up 34 points.. to Andy Dalton. The Vikings are the clear top dawg in the NFC North and look to be a potential top seed in the underperforming NFC. I also need to comment on this disgusting color matchup, not even the Cardinals alternates can save this one.


Ryan: Vikings

Vince: Vikings

Maher: Vikings

Patrick: Vikings

Nick: Cardinals

James: Vikings

Zach: Vikings



Washington Commanders (3-4) @ Indianapolis Colts (3-3-1)


Lines: IND -3.0 / O/U 39.5


All time QB battle in this one as XFL Legend Taylor Heinicke goes to war against Sam Ehlinger. Ehlinger is expected to debut for the Colts after Jim Irsay finally stepped in and benched Matt Ryan. The Commanders were the latest domino to fall in the Green Bay meltdown, winning as 5 point home dawgs last Sunday. This game is massive for the Colts who are still legit contenders for the lackluster AFC South (Sad I know).


Ryan: Commanders

Vince: Colts

Maher: Colts

Patrick: Commanders

Nick: Commanders

James: Colts

Zach: commanders



Green Bay Packers (3-4) @ Buffalo Bills (5-1)


Lines: BUF -10.5 / O/U 47.5


The Packers sitting under .500 with the schedule they’ve had thus far is criminal. Aaron Rodgers is undoubtedly frustrated with the mental mistakes on offense, and their run defense has suffered from these offensive woes. The Packers give up the least amount of pass yards in the league, and will need to lean on that bright spot against MVP candidate Josh Allen. The Bills are almost unanimously a top 3 offense right now. Josh Allen is on pace for 6,338 total yards & 54 Total TD’s. As long as he’s healthy this team is an absolute wagon.


Ryan: O47.5

Vince: O47.5

Maher: U47.5

Patrick: Bills -10.5

Nick: Bills -10.5

James: Bills -10.5

Zach: Bills -10.5



Cincinnati Bengals (4-3) @ Cleveland Browns (2-5)


Lines: CIN -3.0 / O/U 45.5


The clock continues to tick until we see Deshaun Watson and it’s seeming clearer and clearer that deciding to ride with Jacoby Brissett was a mistake. Their defense also hasn’t done them any favors, giving up the 4th most PPG thus far. The Bengals are without star WR Ja’Marr Chase due to a hip issue (Fire up Tyler Boyd people). This looks like another inevitable ugly Primetime game. Lastly if Kareem Hunt isn’t traded by game time I’d be stunned.


Ryan: Bengals -3

Vince: Bengals -3

Maher: O45.5

Patrick: Bengals -3

Nick: U45.5

James: Bengals -3

Zach: Bengals -3

Dawgs of the week:

Ryan: Panthers

Vince: Texans

Maher: Bears 🌭

Patrick: Bears

Nick: Steelers

James: Giants

Zach: Giants
