Official NFL and College Football Odds for this Week's Games
Lions at Vikings (1 p.m.): Lions
By stopping the run effectively in the first quarter, Minnesota has jumped out to early leads in all five games, but Detroit will keep the Vikings off-balance with a balanced attack. The Lions came out of the gates slowly, winning two of their first three games despite uneven offensive performances, but Jared Goff (607 passing yards, five touchdowns, zero interceptions, and an 86% completion rate over the last two games) and a dynamic rushing attack led by David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs are firing on all cylinders presently, leading Detroit to 89 combined points over the last two contests.
The Vikings remain one of the top teams in the NFL, but they displayed troubling signs over the last two wins, getting outscored 22-3 in the fourth quarter by Green Bay and being forced to stop the Jets deep in their own territory before narrowly escaping last time out.
Detroit’s third-ranked run defense (83.2 yards allowed per game) will put pressure on Sam Darnold, who wasn’t sharp against the Jets (14-of-31 for 179 yards and an interception), and a loss at this point in the season won’t be the worst thing for the Vikings.
Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants (1 p.m.): Giants
After being embarrassed by Tampa Bay, Philadelphia had a bye week to prepare for the hapless Cleveland Browns and had to deal with boo birds during an ugly four-point win. It’s been a dysfunctional mess all year in Philadelphia, with head coach Nick Sirianni bickering with fans last week, and we don’t expect him to make it through the whole regular season.
There’s no chance we will be laying points with the Eagles against a Giants team that has outgained their last four opponents. New York is 2-2 in those games, making too many mistakes to win against Dallas and Cincinnati, but its offense has turned things around after a slow start. The Giants D gets after it, too. The offense will get a boost from the return of star rookie receiver Malik Nabers, and we give the Giants a legitimate chance to defeat the poor-tackling and low-scoring Eagles.
Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons (1 p.m.): Under
Offensive line issues are plaguing the Seahawks, who have lost several tackles, and starting cornerbacks Tre Brown and Riq Woolen missed practice Thursday. Slow starts have plagued Geno Smith and the offense, which was outscored by a combined 47-20 in the first half while losing the last three games.
We don’t expect the sagging Seahawks to have much success offensively, and the Falcons will lean on a ground game that showed signs of turning things around last week, with Tyler Allgeier (105 rushing yards) and Bijan Robinson (95 rushing yards) both performing well. In a game lacking offensive theatrics, we will side with the Under.
Carolina Panthers at Washington Commanders (4:05 p.m.): Commanders
Washington may surrender points, but it will comfortably outscore turnover-prone Carolina. Andy Dalton provided a brief spark to the Panthers offense when taking over in Week 3, leading the team to 60 combined points over the next two games, but the Panthers have reverted to their low-scoring ways the last two weeks, losing badly to Chicago and Atlanta.
The Commanders had a four-game win streak snapped in Baltimore last week, but they held the Ravens’ mighty rushing offense to a 4.8 yards per carry and played hard the entire game, losing by a one-score margin. Jayden Daniels continues to perform at a high level, and we like the Commanders by more than a field goal.
Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Rams (4:05 p.m.): Under
Both teams are banged up and low-scoring. The Rams have failed to reach 20 points in three of the last four games, and the Raiders have averaged 18.2 points over six games. The quarterback situation is dismal in Las Vegas, with Aidan O’Connell faltering miserably in a 32-13 loss to Pittsburgh last week, and the Raiders will miss the presence of recently traded Davante Adams in the locker room.
Los Angeles has played to the level of its opponent on four occasions, including both previous home games. Matthew Stafford may get Cooper Kupp back, but the Rams figure to rely heavily on Kyren Williams, who appears to be coming on after rushing for 102 yards and a touchdown against Green Bay last week. We will side with the Under.
