Las Vegas Raiders at Detroit Lions odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Las Vegas Raiders at Detroit Lions odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) and the Detroit Lions (5-2) wrap up the Week 8 slate on Monday Night Football. Kickoff from Ford Field is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Raiders vs. Lions odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Both teams are coming off ugly road losses where they didn’t score a TD until the 4th quarter when their respective games were out of hand.

Las Vegas lost as a 2.5-point favorite at the Chicago Bears 30-12. QB Brian Hoyer, starting in place of an injured Jimmy Garoppolo, only threw for 129 yards with 2 picks. He was replaced in the 4th quarter by rookie Aidan O’Connell, who was 10 of 13 with a TD and a pick in garbage time.

The setback snapped a short 2-game Raiders win streak — home victories vs. the New England Patriots (21-17 in Week 6) and the Green Bay Packers (17-13 in Week 5).

Detroit was spanked 38-6 as a 3-point underdog at the Baltimore Ravens. The Lions were outgained 503 to 337 yards and had no answer for Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who threw for 3 TDs and ran for one as Baltimore built a 35-0 lead by the midpoint of the 3rd quarter.

The loss snapped a 4-game win and cover streak for the Lions.

Raiders at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 35, Raiders 10

Moneyline

The Lions (-340) are a much better team than the Raiders, but risking 3.4 times the potential return is just not smart sports gambling. PASS.

Against the spread

DETROIT -7.5 (-108) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager.

While playing at the Ravens last week wasn’t going to be an easy task, no one expected the Lions to get blown out the way the did.

Coach Dan Campbell and his players have to be chomping at the bit to get back at it and put last week’s debacle behind them. Las Vegas might be the perfect remedy to do so.

The Raiders don’t travel well. They are 1-3 on the road this season with a 1-2-1 ATS mark. Last season, they were 2-7 on the road with a 3-6 ATS record.

The Lions are known for covering the spread at home. While they’re only 2-1 ATS at home this season (and 2-1 straight up), they’re 9-3 ATS at Ford Field over the last 2 seasons and 15-5 ATS there since the start of the 2021 season.

The Raiders rank last in rushing at 68.6 yards per game. They haven’t had a 100-yard rushing game this season and they only could muster 39 rushing yards against the Bears last week.

The Lions feature the 2nd-best defense against the run, yielding 76.3 YPG — the Philadelphia Eagles are 1st at 65.5 YPG.

This should get ugly. Expect a blowout by the LIONS -7.5 (-108).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 46.5 (-105) TO WIN A HALF UNIT.

There’s something about Monday night games and Unders this season. The Under is 8-1 in Monday night games, including 6-0 in the last 6. Only the Week 2 Pittsburgh Steelers’ 26-22 home win vs. the Cleveland Browns cashed an Over (39.5) ticket.

Detroit is 4-3 O/U. The reason for the HALF UNIT is because the Lions averaged 31.0 points in their last 3 games. They will put up 30-plus points in this one, but will the Raiders score enough to hit this Over?

Las Vegas is averaging 16.0 points per game, ranking 30th in the league. The Under is 2-5 in the Raiders’ 7 games — they cashed 4 Unders in a row before the Over (38.5) hit in the Chicago loss.

Until the MNF Under trend ends, I’m going to keep riding it.

New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New England Patriots (2-5) visit the Miami Dolphins (5-2) Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Patriots vs. Dolphins odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

New England pulled off a stunner last week, winning 29-25 as an 8.5-point road underdog at the Buffalo Bills. The win snapped a 3-game skid, which included a 21-17 loss at a mediocre Las Vegas Raiders team in Week 6. The Patriots only scored 6 points in the first 2 losses of the slide — 34-0 at home to the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 and 38-3 at the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4.

Miami is coming off a 31-17 loss at the Philadelphia Eagles. In what some were calling a Super Bowl LVIII preview, the Dolphins came up short as 3-point dogs. Trailing 24-17 in the 4th quarter, QB Tua Tagovailoa drove Miami to the Philly 24-yard line with 11:33 to go before getting picked off at the 1-yard line. The Eagles followed with a 13-play TD drive to seal it.

The Patriots and Dolphins met in Week 2 with Miami prevailing 24-17 in Foxborough. The Dolphins scored the first 10 points, led 17-3 at the half and held on for the win as a 1-point favorite with the Under (46) cashing.

Miami RB Raheem Mostert finished with 121 rushing yards and 2 TDs on 18 carries, while QB Tua Tagovailoa threw for 249 yards with a TD and a pick. The defense held New England to 88 rushing yards — RB Rhamondre Stevenson was the Patriots lead back (50 yards, 1 TD on 15 carries).

Mostert (ankle) is listed as questionable on Miami’s final injury report but is expected to play, while All-Pro CB Jalen Ramsey (knee) was activated off IR Saturday and is likely to play as long everything goes well in pregame workouts.

Patriots at Dolphins picks and predictions

Prediction

Dolphins 35, Patriots 20

Moneyline

PASS.

Miami (-460) will win this game, but there’s no value in risking 4.6 times the potential profit. Focus on the spread and the Over/Under options below.

Against the spread

MIAMI -8.5 (-115) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager.

The Dolphins are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings with a 5-1 straight-up showing. Plus, Tagovailoa is 5-0 in his career against the Patriots and coach Bill Belichick.

For the season, Miami is 5-2 ATS overall and 3-0 ATS at home; New England is 2-5 ATS and 1-2 ATS on the road.

Excluding the upset victory vs. the Bills last week, the Patriots haven’t shown enough to make me believe they finally beat Tagovailoa and end the 0-6 ATS streak vs. the Dolphins

Over/Under

BET OVER 46.5 (-115).

Miami leads the NFL in scoring (34.3 points per game) and offensive yards per game (462.3). So, it’s no surprise the Dolphins lead the league in passing (300.0 YPG) and rushing (162.3 YPG).

New England’s defense ranks 24th in points allowed (25.3 PPG), while it’s middle of the pack in yards allowed — 100.7 rushing YPG (13th) and 210.6 passing YPG (12th).

Meanwhile, Miami’s defense is 27th in points allowed (26.7 PPG) and 20th in yards allowed (345.3).

Points shouldn’t be an issue Sunday.

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Philadelphia Eagles (6-1) visit the Washington Commanders (3-4) on Sunday in a NFC East battle. Kickoff from FedEx Field is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Eagles vs. Commanders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Eagles beat the Miami Dolphins 31-17 last week to cover as 3-point home favorites. QB Jalen Hurts went 23 of 31 for 279 yards along with 2 TDs and an INT. WR A.J. Brown who had 10 receptions for 137 yards and a TD and became just the 3rd player in NFL history with 5 straight games of at least 125 receiving yards. TE Dallas Goedert had 5 catches for 77 yards and a TD.

Washington lost 14-7 to the NewYork Giants last week failing to cover as a 3-point favorite. QB Sam Howell threw for 249 yards and an INT in a 22-of-42 performance. The Commanders were held to just 76 total yards rushing while RB Brian Robinson Jr. (8 carries, 23 yards) found the end zone for their sole TD.

Philadelphia beat Washington 34-31 in overtime in Week 4 with the Commanders covering as a 10-point road underdog.

Eagles at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 27, Commanders 18

Moneyline

PASS.

Although they are the deserved heavy favorites in this matchup, there is no money to be made betting on the Eagles moneyline in this matchup.

Against the spread

LEAN EAGLES -7 (-110).

While the Commanders were able to force overtime in the last meeting, the Eagles have since mastered the art of the ‘Tush Push’ or ‘Philly Shove’ which they showcased last week against the Dolphins. With their ability to gain an extra yard whenever necessary, the Birds will assert their dominance on Sunday against their division foes. Expect Brown to have yet another big game as he chases history.

Over/Under

BET OVER 43.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 3 of the last 5 meetings between the Eagles and Commanders. Philadelphia has scored at least 23 points in every game except 1 and against a struggling Washington team, expect Philly to carry the load for the Over on Sunday.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Jacksonville Jaguars (5-2) visit the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) on Sunday. Kick from Acrisure Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Jaguars vs. Steelers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Jaguars knocked off the New Orleans Saints 31-24 to cover as 2.5-point road underdogs on Thursday Night Football Oct. 19. QB Trevor Lawrence went 20 of 29 for 204 yards and a touchdown through the air along with 8 carries for 59 yards on the ground. RB Travis Etienne Jr. carried the ball 14 times for 53 yards and 2 TDs.

The Steelers took care of the Los Angeles Rams 24-17 last Sunday to cover as 3.5-point road underdogs. QB Kenny Pickett threw for 230 yards on a 17-of-25 performance while adding a TD on the ground. His top target was WR George Pickens, who hauled in 5 receptions for 107 yards. RB Najee Harris (14 carries for 53 yards) and RB Jaylen Warren (6 for 32) also tacked on a rushing TD each.

Jaguars at Steelers picks and predictions

Prediction

Jaguars 27, Steelers 24

Moneyline

PASS.

While not by much, there is more money to be made betting the Jaguars’ spread. At -1.5 (-115), a Jaguars victory almost certainly guarantees a profit, more than the likelihood they win by a single point.

Against the spread

BET JAGUARS -1.5 (-115).

The Steelers are banged up at the cornerback position, which will hurt them on Sunday. Whether all the players on the injury report play or not is unknown, but many of their CBs have missed practice this time, while the Jaguars are coming off a long rest. The Jaguars are 2-0 on the road and will make it 3-0 against the Steelers.

Over/Under

BET OVER 41 (-110).

The Over has hit in back-to-back Jaguars games, while the total score has gone over 41 in 4 of their last 5. On the flip side, the Steelers have given up at least 15 points in all but 1 game this season. Expect more touchdowns than field goals in this battle between 2 young QBs.

New York Jets at New York Giants odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Jets at New York Giants odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Jets (3-3) and New York Giants (2-5) meet for Sunday for a Week 8 matchup at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Jets vs. Giants odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The weather forecast is rather gloomy for this Battle of Gotham. Showers are expected to roll in at 8 a.m. ET, with the rain picking up right before kickoff. The forecast calls for a 70% chance of rain, tapering off slightly by the end of the game, with temperatures in the 50’s with winds of 5-8 mph.

The Jets are on a roll, winning 2 straight games, including a stunning 20-14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles last time out prior to the bye. Gang Green has covered 3 in a row, too, all as an underdog.

The Giants scored a 14-7 win last time out against the Washington Commanders, and Big Blue has covered the past 2, also as an underdog in each. The Under is on a 5-0 roll for the G-Men, while going 6-1 in 7 games overall. QB Tyrod Taylor is expected to make his 3rd consecutive start in place of the injured QB Daniel Jones.

Jets at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Jets 19, Giants 15

Moneyline

The JETS (-164) are worth playing on the moneyline straight up, if you want to declare a winner, and you do not want to have to mess around with the points. It’s going to be a sloppy mess with the rain and wind, but the arrow is pointed in favor of the green team in this New York battle, as it is just healthier at the moment.

Against the spread

The JETS -3 (-110) are worth playing lightly. They’re the healthier team, coming off a bye week to rest the bumps and bruises from the 1st half of the season.

The Giants +3 (-110) have been pretty competitive with Taylor under center, covering the past 2 games, while knocking off the Commanders. They’ve kept the offense methodical, taking the air out of the ball, while leaning upon the defense. However, the G-Men have too many injuries along the offensive line, and if Thibodeaux cannot go, that’s a big blow to the D.

Over/Under

UNDER 35.5 (-110) is the lean, but there isn’t a lot of conviction here.

This is a very, very low number, but with the weather factoring in, we should see both offenses in run mode most of the day. The ground and pound keeps the clock moving, which is pleasing to Under bettors.

Cleveland Browns at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Browns at Seattle Seahawks odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cleveland Browns (4-2) and Seattle Seahawks (4-2) meet Sunday for a Week 8 matchup at Lumen Field in Seattle. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Browns vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Browns head to Seattle for a 2nd consecutive road game after a wild 39-38 comeback win at the Indianapolis Colts. That shootout in Indy featured 4 different lead changes in the final quarter. It was a rare Over result, too, as the Under had been 3-1-1 in the first 5 games for Cleveland.

QB Deshaun Watson (shoulder) tried to start in Indianapolis, but he made just 5 pass attempts before having to check out. QB P.J. Walker finished up, and did a great job running the offense to a 2nd straight win.

The Seahawks doubled up the Arizona Cardinals at home by a 20-10 score, pushing as 10-point favorites at most shops. The defense has been strong lately, allowing just 40 total points in the past 3 games (13.3 PPG) while cashing the Under in 3 in a row.

Browns at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 19, Browns 15

Moneyline

The Seahawks (-190) are a little too expensive to play straight up, laying nearly 2 times your potential return. This is going to be a close, defensive battle which really could go in anybody’s favor.

Seattle has some question marks, too, as Lockett carries a questionable tag. DK Metcalf (ribs) is back after missing last week’s game, but he is one big hit away from checking back out.

PASS.

Against the spread

The SEAHAWKS -3.5 (-112) are the lean, but go lightly.

The preference is betting this at a flat 3, or better yet, 2 and a hook. This is actually a pretty unfavorable line, as it could come right down to a last-second field goal in a low-scoring, defensive game. At least the weather will cooperate in the Pacific Northwest, with sunny skies and a fast track.

Over/Under

UNDER 37.5 (-110) is the lean, but this is a very low scoring. Tread lightly.

We’ve seen the Under cash in 3 in a row for Seattle, with the Seahawks averaging 19.0 PPG while allowing 10.0 PPG.

For Cleveland, the Over last week was an anomaly. The defense allowed 38 points to backup QB Gardner Minshew II and the Colts, but prior to that the Browns yielded just 77 total points in the first 5 games combined.

Bears at Chargers key injuries

Bears

  • S Jaquan Brisker (illness) out
  • OL Nate Davis (ankle) out
  • QB Justin Fields (thumb) out
  • CB Eddie Jackson (foot) questionable

Chargers

  • TE Gerald Everett (hip) questionable
  • CB Deane Leonard (hamstring) questionable
  • WR Josh Palmer (knee) questionable

Bears at Chargers picks and predictions

Prediction

Chargers 28, Bears 20

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bears are led by a rookie who beat the Raiders, but the Chargers are going to be a different beast. At home, the favorite at -450 has no value. Ultimately, avoid a moneyline play.

Against the spread

BET BEARS +8.5 (-110).

The Chargers should win, but that’s not to say they will deserve the victory. Los Angeles is 0-2-1 ATS at home and lost to the Cowboys 20-17 and the Dolphins 36-34 along with a 24-17 win over the Raiders, who the Bears beat in Week 7.

The Bears are 1-1-1 ATS on the road over their last 3 away games and have held 3 straight opponents to 20 points or fewer. Their defense has come alive and should help keep this game close.

Take BEARS +8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 46.5 (-110).

The Bears are 6-1 O/U this season and have allowed 30-plus points in 3 games this season, scoring 30 or more in 2 of their last 3.

The Herbert-led Chargers have scored 24 or more in 4 of 6 games and are 2-4 O/U, but they did go Over 45.5 against the Titans, their lone game with a total under 47.

Back OVER 46.5 (-110).

Cincinnati Bengals at San Francisco 49ers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at San Francisco 49ers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Francisco 49ers (5-2) welcome the Cincinnati Bengals (3-3) to Levi’s Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bengals vs. 49ers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The 49ers lost to the Minnesota Vikings 22-17 in Week 7, failing to cover as 6.5-point road favorites. San Fran has lost 2 straight games yet is 3-0 straight up and against the spread (ATS) at home. The 49ers will be without star WR Deebo Samuel. They are led by RB Christian McCaffrey, who has 11 total touchdowns on the season.

The Bengals are riding a 2-game winning streak and are coming off their bye. In Week 6, Cincinnati beat the Seattle Seahawks 17-13 at home, covering as a 3-point home favorite.

Bengals at 49ers picks and predictions

Prediction

49ers 23, Bengals 20

Moneyline

PASS.

The 49ers have been too good at home to suggest they won’t be able to come out on top. However, they are the more banged-up side and could struggle given those injuries.

Against the spread

BET BENGALS +5.5 (-115).

The 49ers just haven’t looked like the dominant San Fran team most have been used to. The absence of Samuel is a reason why, as is the injury to Williams. Even if Williams plays, he may not be 100%, and that could loom large. The 49ers have failed to cover as 8.5-point favorites and 6.5-point favorites over the last 2 weeks, both straight-up losses as well.

The Bengals are healthy and coming off a bye. QB Joe Burrow suffered from a calf strain in the preseason which lingered and impacted his ability. He had the 2nd-most touchdowns last season and has just 7 through 6 games. Expect his health to propel the Bengals here.

Take BENGALS +5.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 43.5 (-110).

The 49ers are 3-3-1 O/U this season and 0-1-1 O/U in their last 2 games. They have scored 17 in each of the last 2 weeks after scoring 30 or more in their first 5 games of the season.

The offense has stalled, and without Samuel and with an injured Williams, that may continue. The Bengals defensive line is their strength, and it should be able to get after QB Brock Purdy.

The Bengals are 2-4 O/U and 1-3 O/U in their last 4 games. They have scored more than 20 points in just 1 of their last 4 games. Against an elite defense, they could again have issues getting in the end zone.

Take UNDER 43.5 (-110).

Baltimore Ravens at Arizona Cardinals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Baltimore Ravens at Arizona Cardinals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

In Week 8, the Baltimore Ravens (5-2) take on the Arizona Cardinals (1-6). Kickoff from State Farm Stadium is Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Ravens vs. Cardinals odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Ravens are coming off their biggest win of the season, a 38-6 blowout over the Detroit Lions as 3-point home favorites. QB Lamar Jackson passed for 357 yards with 3 touchdowns and rushed for another score.

The Cardinals lost their 4th straight game when they pushed as 10-point underdogs in a 20-10 loss at the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday. They did not score in the 2nd half for the 2nd straight game.

Ravens at Cardinals picks and predictions

Prediction

Ravens 28, Cardinals 13

Moneyline

The Cardinals have scored only 25 total points in their last 10 quarters of football. The Ravens have the No. 1 scoring defense at 13.9 points allowed per game and are No. 2 in total defense.

Arizona’s defense was better against Seattle last week but has allowed a 100-yard rusher in 4 of its last 5 games.

The Cardinals are abysmal in the 2nd half of games, having been outscored 104-30 this season.

The Ravens will win this game, but it isn’t worth the action at -500 odds. PASS.

Against the spread

The Cardinals have failed to cover the spread since Week 3. They are 3-3-1 ATS this season.

The Ravens have covered the spread in all 5 of their wins. Three of their 5 wins are by double digits.

If Jackson is at all close to playing the way he did last week, it will not be even close.

BET RAVENS -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

After 4 straight games of hitting the Over, the Cardinals’ last 2 games have stayed under the projected total. Scoring points has been a problem since RB James Conner got hurt. He is on injured reserve for at least 2 more weeks, which means more struggles for QB Josh Dobbs and the offense.

The Ravens have seen the Over hit only twice this season.

BET UNDER 44.5 (-110).
