5. Kansas City at Las Vegas

LINE: Kansas City -8
ATS PICK: Las Vegas
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

It’s never a good thing to assume that one team has another team’s number – or that the concept translates to another matchup – but there’s something very New Orleans vs. Tampa Bay about this.

New Orleans was able to stuff the Bucs in the season opener, and then things got even uglier in the big rematch. The Saints just seemed to have the right mix and the right plan for Tom Brady and the bunch.

Does Las Vegas have Kansas City figured out?

The Raiders were able to run, pound, and grind their way to a 40-32 win in Week 5, coming up with 144 rushing yards to go along with a massive 346-yard day from Derek Carr. The defense didn’t have the Chiefs figured out, but the offense dictated the action.

Now the Raiders are running even better than they did earlier in the year – with their three best efforts of the season right in a row, including two 200-yard days – as the team is getting more physical and more successful.

Kansas City has a mediocre run D, but teams tend to abandon the ground game after getting down so quickly. Las Vegas isn’t going to get too funky here.

Of course it’s not fun – and sort of crazy – to ever pick against the Chiefs, but Vegas could win this outright and it’s getting eight at home.

5. Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

LINE: Pittsburgh -7.5
ATS PICK: Cincinnati
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

I know, I know. Pick against the Pittsburgh Steelers in any way at your own peril.

The Steelers are 8-0, finding ways to win in dominant fashion, in a few gut-check games, and once in a while there’s been a clunker that went the right way, like last week’s 24-19 fight against a depleted Dallas.

Cincinnati is just 2-5-1, but it’s been able to find ways to come back time and again to break the hearts of investors everywhere to make games relatively close – only one of the five losses was by more than five points.

Pittsburgh will win, but that hook of the extra half a point should be a problem. This is a Cincinnati team coming off a bye week – and with the passing ability to hit the okay Steeler secondary late to come up with a few late yards and points. Joe Burrow has become a master at that.

The Bengals are rested, and the Steelers are coming off three straight road games and with a trip to Jacksonville to follow.

5. Las Vegas at Los Angeles Chargers

LINE: PICK
ATS PICK: Las Vegas
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

Are you a winner, or are you a loser?

Sorry, that’s lame, but without putting too fine a point on it, some teams just win, and some teams just lose.

Sorry, that’s even worse. Let me try again – the LA Chargers have a bad habit of not knowing how to win.

They’re terrific. Justin Herbert is a budding superstar franchise quarterback, the offense is humming, the defense hasn’t been that bad, and …

This team loses.

Whether it’s the two overtime defeats to Kansas City and New Orleans, or the four giveaways to give up a loss to Carolina, or not being able to hang on against Tampa Bay and then last week to Denver, this team has a whole lot to negative momentum going its way.

Enough gut feeling – why is Las Vegas going to win this even game? The running attack finally showed up like it’s supposed to last week against Cleveland, the team seems to have found something physical up front, and the 32nd-ranked run defense shouldn’t be hit that hard by a Charger ground game that’s great at yards and bad at finishing.

The team is bad at finishing.

5. New York Jets at Kansas City

LINE: Kansas City -19.5
ATS PICK: Kansas City
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line

If you’ve read the college side of this over the years, you’d know there’s a certain theoretical threshold that you just don’t cross.

If someone wants to give you 40 or more points walking into the stadium, you take them. If someone wants to set a point total in the mid-70s, you take the under, and be happy the game was a fun shootout if you’re wrong. Do both of those things every time there’s an opportunity, and you’ll be up over the long haul.

Don’t take an NFL team giving away 20 points.

Ever.

Kansas City opened as a 21-point favorite at home against the Jets, and that was totally ridiculous. This is still an NFL team full of NFL players coming into Arrowhead Stadium, and no one things it’s going to win. But keeping it within three touchdowns? That’s what any NFL team is supposed to do, and …

Take Kansas City. The line dipped down to 19.5, so let’s just throw the principles out the window.

The Jets haven’t scored more than ten points in any of the last three games and haven’t scored more than 17 in any game but the 37-28 loss to Denver. Worse yet, the Jets have lost four of its last six games by 20 points or more.

No, you never take an NFL team giving away 19.5 points no matter what …

Take Kansas City.
