The Packers have no running game and are completely reliant on Jordan Love throwing it nearly every down. With his attempts prop set at 35.5, and considering he\u2019s averaging nearly 40 throws per game, I\u2019ll go Over. Desperation time for the last-place Ravens, as they sit at 4-3 and face the Bills and Jaguars in a five-day span. The last three meetings between these teams have all been decided by a field goal or less,\u00a0and I\u2019m going to forecast two-time MVP Lamar Jackson making his return. I like the Ravens to keep this game close. The Bengals are fourth in the NFL in points per game, and surprisingly, eighth in the league in points per game allowed. I like the well-balanced Bengals to bury the hapless Titans. The Cowboys made a concerted effort last week to run the ball more, including seldom-used backup running back Jordan Goodson getting 10 carries for 38 yards. Goodson\u2019s rush prop is set at 19.5. I\u2019ll go Over against a vulnerable Arizona run defense that is near the bottom of the league, allowing over 126 yards per game. The Vikings are 6-0 and the star of their offense has been kicker Will Reichard, who once again kicked three field goals last week in a 16-10 win over the Colts. I\u2019ll go Over 1.5 makes this week against a weak Lions defense. The Raiders&#8217; 3-0 start is a distant memory, but they are simply a much better-coached team than their opponent Sunday, so I\u2019ll pick them to snap their four-game losing streak. The first-place Browns are getting 3.5 points in Pittsburgh on Sunday and the total is 39.5. In what should be a close, low-scoring game, I\u2019ll take the points with the surprising Browns. The Falcons upset the 49ers last week, but a closer look at the box score reveals there was some good fortune, as the Falcons were out-gained by 1.5 yards per play and won the turnover battle 4-0. I\u2019ll back the underrated Bucs off their blowout win in Carolina. The Colts have spent the week shipping off talent, as they are clearly in rebuilding mode. I predict they will struggle this week in Jacksonville. The Chargers are somehow still winless entering November, but they are off of a bye. At some point, the Bolts will somewhat resemble the team they were supposed to be prior to the season.\u00a0I\u2019ll take them to keep it close in the battle of Los Angeles. These teams met in Week 1, and it was Chiefs\u2019 running back Kenneth Walker that embarrassed the Denver defense, rushing for 173 yards. I expect the Broncos to remember that and make it a point of emphasis to not let it happen again. The Dolphins have been feisty this year and are coming off of their first victory. Quarterback Malik Willis\u2019 rush prop is set at 34.5. He\u2019s cleared this number in four of six games. The Commanders being favored by six over the Eagles doesn\u2019t feel right, but the Eagles have dropped five straight and have been completely decimated by injuries.\u00a0I like the\u00a0Commanders to win by a touchdown. Sam Darnold has thrown eight interceptions in just over five games played this season. Even against a shaky Bears defense, I\u2019ll bet on Darnold to throw one to the wrong team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 8 is (kinda) the NFL halfway point.
