Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Tampa Bay Buccaneers -2.5 for the full game, including overtime.

Tampa Bay ran for 258 yards in its 43-13 win at Carolina. That makes Tampa Bay Buccaneers -2.5 (-110) worth a look. The Buccaneers need more than just a competitive showing against the Atlanta Falcons. If Tampa Bay runs like that again and its defense creates pressure, the Buccaneers could pull away from Atlanta.

Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos — Under 40.5 for the full-game combined score, including overtime.

Arizona converted only one of five red-zone trips against Denver. If Denver can slow the Chiefs near the goal line, Under 40.5 at -110 is worth a look.

Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers — Over 47 for the full-game combined score, including overtime.

Through Week 7, Carolina averaged 276 passing yards per game and Green Bay averaged 268.6. If both passing attacks turn those yards into points, Over 47 (-120) is worth a look.

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers — Pittsburgh Steelers -3 for the full game, including overtime.

Pittsburgh shut down New Orleans on the ground. Cleveland just rushed for 183 yards. Can the Steelers stop the Browns, too? That’s the question before backing Pittsburgh Steelers -3 (-125) at BetPhoenix.

Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions — Minnesota Vikings +3 for the full game, including overtime.

Minnesota shut out Indianapolis in the second half and allowed 48 net yards in the final quarter, according to the Vikings’ recap. That finish gives the Vikings a recent example of limiting late scoring. Minnesota Vikings +3 (-110) needs that kind of defense to keep Detroit’s margin in check.

Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers — Green Bay Packers -4 for the full game, including overtime.

Carolina committed three offensive turnovers and allowed five sacks against Tampa Bay. Green Bay Packers -4 (-110) needs to turn those mistakes into points and win by more than four.

Pittsburgh Steelers at New Orleans Saints — New Orleans Saints +3 for the full game, including overtime.

New Orleans’ ground game and possession work offer a plausible way to keep this full-game matchup competitive, which matters for a bettor taking three points. The primary wager is New Orleans Saints +3 at -110.

New England Patriots at Chicago Bears — New England Patriots +3 for the full game, including overtime.

New England’s protection has to withstand another test in Chicago for the Patriots +3 (-120) case to hold. Against the Jets, New England allowed no sacks while Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes despite losing three offensive linemen during the game. 

Pittsburgh Steelers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Pittsburgh Steelers -2.5 for the full game, including overtime.

Rodgers’ recent clean, productive passing gives Pittsburgh a plausible way to sustain scoring drives and build separation. That matters because Pittsburgh Steelers -2.5 (-120) needs more than a close win; the bettor is backing a three-point margin path.

Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars — Jacksonville Jaguars -2.5 for the full game, including overtime.

Jacksonville’s run defense matters because limiting Houston on the ground can disrupt sustained possessions, but that support only matters if the Jaguars protect well enough to create separation. The primary wager is Jacksonville Jaguars -2.5 at -113.
