The Steelers sit atop the AFC North at 6-2, and they'll try to stay hot when they take on the 7-2 Commanders. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET from Northwest Stadium in Landover, MD.
Gone are the days when Russell Wilson was slinging it around the field for 300+ yards regularly. However, are we going to act like Wilson can't collect a measly 212 passing yards? I mean, he has cleared this mark with ease in both of his starts this season, going for 264 yards against the Jets and 278 yards against the Giants last time out.
Up next is a bottom-third pass defense in the Commanders. Washington is allowing their opponents to complete 68.05% of their passes (24th) for an average of 6.9 yards per attempt (21st). I expect Wilson to reach at least 212 passing yards in this contest.
The Cowboys (3-5) will be without Dan Prescott (hamstring) for the rest of the season. They've climbed as high as a 7.5-point underdog in this afternoon's divisional clash with the Eagles (6-2). Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.
With Prescott out of the lineup, I expect Dallas' offense to get creative and pull out all the tricks. I'll take CeeDee Lamb to clear 1.5 rushing yards. Lamb has already been relatively active in the ground game, getting 10 carries for 52 yards (5.2 YPC) this year. The star receiver has eclipsed this rushing total in five out of his eight games. In fact, every game where Lamb has carried the ball, he's gone for at least two rushing yards. If this line was 2.5 yards, I'd probably stay away. But at 1.5, it's 100% a play for me.
All roads lead to a Sunday Night Football showdown between the Lions (7-1) and the Texans (6-3). Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET from NRG Stadium in Houston, TX.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm going to fade this high-powered Detroit offense - at least in one specific area. I'm taking David Montgomery to stay below 58.5 rushing yards. Surprisingly, Monty has gone just 4-4 to the over at this number of 58.5 yards. Obviously, I need to first point out the fact that he's splitting carries with Jahmyr Gibbs. It's nearly a 50-50 split, with Montgomery taking 51.6% of the totes.
Then, there's the fact that Houston boasts a pretty underrated defense. The Texans are allowing only 114.2 rushing yards per game, which is the 12th-best in the NFL. In terms of overall yardage conceded, they sit in second at just 281.7 yards allowed. Finally, an interesting stat is that Houston's opponents are running only 58.1 plays per game, which is the sixth-fewest. So, between the split carries and Houston's stingy defense, I think it's worth taking a shot on Monty to go low.
