Leg 1: Ravens/Broncos Under 38.5 (-110)
The Ravens lost another game they should have won. They came into last week’s game favored, but Jacksonville would march down the field and go on a game-winning drive at the end of the game.
The Broncos are ugly on offense and sit as the worst-scoring offense as questions about the future of this team continue. While they are abysmal on offense, they’ve been one of the better defenses in the league as the third-best total and scoring defense.
The Ravens’ defense has significantly improved over the last couple of weeks, especially on the frontline with the acquisition of Roquan Smith, and have allowed the fewest rushing yards in the previous three games. They should suffocate a Denver offense that is already hurting itself. On the other side, Denver should hold down the Ravens for a low-scoring outcome.
Leg 2: Jets/Vikings Over 45.5 (-114)
The exceptional performance of Mike White forced this line to stick to a field goal.
It showed up on the scoreboard, but you also saw the Jets look better with the eye test, and in the post-game interviews, the teams sounded positive going forward.
The Vikings put the blowout behind them by coming from behind in the fourth quarter to beat the Patriots. They were able to get the passing game firing on all cylinders, with Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and T.J. Hockenson all finding the end zone.
In a dome setting, this will be a better game offensively. New York will have trouble stopping each one of these Vikings pass catchers, and Minnesota has been a below-average defense all season allowing the 11th-most points per game.
Leg 3: Bengals/Chiefs Over 52.5 (-110)
A rematch of last year’s AFC championship could be a preview of this year’s.
Joe Burrow is having another exceptional year, and he’s second in the league in passing touchdowns and third in passing yards. He also may have some great news because it looks like Ja’Marr Chase will be on the field this Sunday.
While Burrow has been great, Mahomes has been even better. He’s the best passer in the league, leading the NFL in passing yards and touchdowns. He’s faced injuries and changes to his offense but has come through it all as the Chiefs control their own destiny to the No. 1-seed.
Neither of these passing defenses strikes fear into opponents, and we should see both quarterbacks play well. This has all of the makings of a shootout.
Total parlay: +584
