Sunday Football
TouchDown!
The Packers-49ers rivalry helped define the careers of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers during their time in Green Bay.
Yeah, this is a gotta-have-it game for the Packers just as much as the 49ers, and Green Bay has won four of the past five regular-season meetings. That is the highlight of a week that also features the “Harbaugh Bowl” between the Chargers and Ravens.
Sunday Picks:
Packers vs 49ers
Packers ML @5/12
We mentioned the Packers’ side, but the 49ers are 2-4 S/U in one-score games this season. The difference for Brock Purdy will be having time against a defense that averages 2.5 sacks per game. Will Green Bay dial up the pressure as a result? San Francisco needs this one to stay in the NFC West race. Could they haunt the Packers one more time in familiar fashion at Lambeau Field to get there, or will the Packers finally break through?
Bears vs Vikings
Vikings ML @20/37
Yes, the Bears lost in heart-breaking fashion, but Caleb Williams showed development with new offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. The Vikings are tied for third in the NFL with 35 sacks this season, but Williams can offset that like he did against Green Bay. Can Chicago’s defense rattle Sam Darnold, who has a 99.9 passer rating on the road, though?
Colts vs Lions
Lions -7.5 @1/1
The Lions have defeated three AFC South teams by a combined total of 130-49, and Detroit is 2-1 ATS when favored by more than seven points. Anthony Richardson, who totaled 304 yards and three TDs against the Jets, is a different challenge for Detroit, and the Colts are 5-2 ATS as an underdog. Still, Detroit has allowed just 48.5 rushing yards per game the past two weeks. That will be a difference in this game.
Dolphins vs Patriots
Dolphins -7.0 @5/6
The Patriots have become a high-volume passing attack with rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who has 40 passing attempts in two of the past three games. He also has four TDs and four interceptions. Miami is figuring it out again with Tua Tagovailoa, who is coming off his best game of the season. The Dolphins have won the past four home meetings in the series.
Giants vs Buccaneers
Buccaneers ML @4/11
The Giants are starting Tommy DeVito, and that could give a struggling offense a lift coming out of a bye week. The Buccaneers have lost four straight games, but look at the competition. Baker Mayfield gets back on track, and the Buccaneers keep their hopes alive in the NFC South rest. The Giants are 0-5 S/U and average 10.6 points per game.
Commanders vs Cowboys
Over 45.0 @10/11
The Cowboys’ season remained in free-fall, and the Commanders had extra time to prepare after a Thursday Night Football loss to the Eagles. Washington coach Dan Quinn, who was the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator from 2021-23, will be the spotlight here. Jayden Daniels will get back on track, and Dallas will continue to struggle with turnovers with Cooper Rush. The teams have split the past six meetings in Washington. Teams who are underdogs of 10 or more points are 0-5 ATS. Will the Cowboys at least break that trend?
Panthers vs Chiefs
Chiefs ML @2/13
We just mentioned the 10-points-or-more trend. The Chiefs are coming off their first loss, and the Panthers are on a two-game win streak coming out of a bye week. The Chiefs have averaged 67.5 rushing yards per game the past two weeks. Look for Kansas City to get that going against a Carolina defense that ranks last in the NFL at 160.1 yards per game. Patrick Mahomes will do the rest.
Texans vs Titans
Over 40.5 @10/11
The Titans have lost four of their past five games by 10 or more points, and they are 1-4 S/U on the road. Houston is working on a short week after Monday Night Football, but C.J. Stroud will cook at home with an offense that found its rhythm on Monday Night Football. Six of the past eight meetings have been decided by seven points or less. Tennessee hangs around in an AFC South game, but the Texans close out in the fourth quarter.
Raiders vs Broncos
Broncos ML @10/27
The Broncos are in the playoff mix with Bo Nix, who averages 261 passing yards with a 79.3% completion percentage, six TDs, and no interceptions in his past two starts. Las Vegas is 1-3 ATS as an underdog of less than seven points, and the Broncos dominated the first meeting 34-18. What has changed? Nix is better.
Rams vs Eagles
Eagles ML @20/31
The Eagles have been on their “A” game around Saquon Barkley, who ranks second in the NFL with 1,137 rushing yards. Matthew Stafford is coming off a four-TD performance. The Rams are 2-2 S/U at home, and the Eagles are 4-1 S/U on the road. That mentality will carry over for what is starting to look like the co-favorite with Detroit in the NFC. Home-field advantage will matter in that race.
