Ravens at Titans 11/5/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions by Jim

Latest Odds : TEN (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NFL/)-5.5 Total 43

The Ravens have been all over the place this season and find themselves sitting with a 4-4 record and a game ahead of the Bengals. However, the Ravens are a team that can easily pull everything together if the Ravens are able to really start to play some strong ball on the year and continue to play like they did against the Dolphins.

Joe Flacco is still a good quarterback on the year. Flacco has been able to throw for 1290 yards on the year so far and has managed to get 6 touchdowns on the year.

With the Titans they are sitting decent right now with a 4-3 record and are sitting in a tie for first place with the Jaguars of all teams However, the Titans did win the head to head battle among these teams and the Titans have not really slowed down much with the offense.

The Titans have seen Marcus Mariotta really step up into his role as a leading quarterback Mariotta has been able to throw for 1301 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Recent Betting Trends:
Ravens are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game.
Titans are 12-36-4 ATS in their last 52 vs. AFC.
Over is 4-1 in Ravens last 5 games on grass.
Under is 4-1 in Titans last 5 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
Free Betting Pick: Baltimore Ravens +5.5 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NFL/)
This Ravens team is coming off huge blowout last week as Baltimore won in 41-0 shutout against Dolphins on Thursday Night Football. The extra few days rest will have Baltimore ready for this one and think it's a Field Goal game one way or other. Final Score Prediction, Tennessee Titans win but fall short ATS 23-20.

Buccaneers at Saints 11/5/17 - NFL Picks & Predictionsby Mike

Latest Odds : NO -7 Total 50

Are the Buccaneers relying to much on Winston and his bum arm? The answer is a resounding yes. The Buccaneers know that Winston has an injured arm, but also know that he has had some troubles because of the arm. However, instead of letting him rest and heal like he should, the Bucs insist on running him out to the field.

On the season Winston has thrown for 1853 yards and 10 touchdowns. Doug Martin is the leading rusher for the Buccaneers this season as he has carried the ball 65 times for 247 yards and 2 scores.

The Saints are back and it is easy to see that a lot of teams are going to start to fear the Saints offense that has come back to be one of the best in the league. The Saints have ripped off five wins in a row and that is just the start of what could be a great winning season for the Saints.

The Saints have seen Drew Brees come out again with 1951 yards and 11 touchdowns. When it comes to getting the ball on the ground Mark Ingram has been the leading rusher with 107 carries for 464 yards and 4 scores.
Recent Betting Trends:
Buccaneers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. NFC South.
Saints are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
Under is 11-4 in Buccaneers last 15 games in November.
Over is 7-3 in Saints last 10 games overall.
Free Betting Pick: Over 50 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NFL/)
This Saints team is big surprise to us so far this season and think the high flying offense of New Orleans keeps it going this week. Tampa Bay offense keeps up with the Saints offense as QB Jameis Winston has best game of season. Take the over in high scoring shoot-out. Final Score Prediction, New Orleans Saints win but fall short ATS 30-27.

Redskins at Seahawks 11/5/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions by Jim

Latest Odds : SEA -7 Total 45

Back-to-losses for Washington (3-4) has meant that the Redskins are below .500 as the season draws to its halfway point. Philadelphia is running away with the NFC East, and Washington and Dallas would both half to have huge turnarounds to get back into contention.

Last week, the Redskins fell 33-19 to the Cowboys at home. Washington managed just 285 yards in the game and turned the ball over three times en route to the loss. Kirk Cousins threw an interception and also fumbled twice, with Dallas recovering one of the fumbles.

The rushing game was nonexistent for the Redskins last week. No running back totaled more than 19 yards on the ground, and as a team, Washington averaged just 3.3 yards per carry. No running back has gone for more than 78 rushing yards in a game for the Redskins on the year.

Seattle (5-2) isn't the clear Super Bowl contender of years past, but the Seahawks have won four straight to sit atop the NFC West standings in a tie with St. Louis. Last week, they won a shootout against Houston, 41-38. Russell Wilson threw for 452 yards and four touchdowns on the day. He also added 30 rushing yards for one of the most productive offensive games of his career.

Wide receiver Paul Richardson had his best game of the season, with six receptions for 105 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Tyler Lockett also went over 100 yards receiving, with six catches for 121 yards.
Recent Betting Trends:
Redskins are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games after allowing more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.
Seahawks are 24-7-2 ATS in their last 33 games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.
Over is 14-3 in Redskins last 17 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
Over is 4-0 in Seahawks last 4 games in Week 9.
Free Betting Pick: Seattle Seahawks -7 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NFL/)
The Seahawks getting offensive line help with the trade from Texans Duane Brown will give Seattle just what they need. Also facing a banged up and struggling Washington it's Seattle taking advantage of Redskins. Final Score Prediction, Seattle Seahawks win and cover ATS 26-17.

Cardinals at 49ers 11/5/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions by Mike

Latest Odds : ARI -2.5 TOTAL 39

Arizona (3-4) has gone in a loss-win pattern over the course of the season to wind up at one game under .500. The Cardinals are coming off a crushing 33-0 loss against St. Louis last week. In that game, Arizona managed just 10 first downs and 196 yards of offense.

What's worse was the injury to starting quarterback Carson Palmer, who will be out for most if not all of the rest of the season. Drew Stanton closed out the game against the Rams with 5 of 14 passing for just 66 yards and an interception.

Adrian Peterson was brilliant in his first week with the Cardinals, with 134 rushing yards and a pair of touchdown. Unfortunately, he followed that up with just 21 yards against St. Louis on 11 carries. If the Arizona offense becomes one dimensional, defenses will be able to key in on Peterson.

San Francisco (0-8) took some close losses earlier in the season, but the 49ers have been defeated in back-to-back weeks by more than 20 points. Last week, they fell to Philadelphia by a count of 33-10. They rank 30th in the NFL in defense, allowing 26.6 points per game.

Running back Carlos Hyde had a 124-yard game in the second week of the season against Seattle. Since, he has yet to crack 85 yards in a game. Hyde had a nice second half last year and is looking to repeat that as San Francisco searches to get its season back on track.
Recent Betting Trends:
Cardinals are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games after allowing more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game.
49ers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 vs. NFC West.
Under is 4-1 in Cardinals last 5 vs. NFC.
Under is 13-3 in 49ers last 16 games after accumulating less than 250 total yards in their previous game.
Free Betting Pick: San Francisco 49ers +2.5 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NFL/)
The 49ers finally made the big trade to get their future QB with trade for Patriots Jimmy Garrapalo. Jimmy will not play this week but the positive momentum will spur San Francisco to pull off upset of struggling Arizona. Final Score Prediction, San Francisco 49ers win outright as underdog 20-17.

Colts at Texans 11/5/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions by Adam

Latest Odds : HOU -13 TOTAL 48.5

The Texans let one slip away last week against the Seahawks, and they hope to have a better time of it while hosting the Colts this coming week. The Texans have rotated wins and losses this season, and if that trend continues they are due to win. Houston lost to the Seahawks by four points and are still just one game out in the AFC South at 3-4. The Colts are 2-6 and continue to struggle without Andrew Luck, who will not be available for this game.

With rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson running the show, th Texans are the highest scoring team in the league at 30.4 points per game. The down side is their defense is near the bottom, giving up 26.9 points. The Texans have the third best running game in the league at 138 yards per game, and they are averaging 229 yards passing.

Watson has passed for 1699 yards, 19 touchdwons and nine interceptions. Watson has also rushed for 269 yards and two more touchdwons. Lamar Miller has run for 426 yards and two more scores. DeAndre Hopkins has 606 yards receiving and seven touchdowns. Will Fuller has 279 yards and seven touchddowns receiving.

The Texans have four rushing touchdowns and have given up three.

The Colts may be struggling without Luck, but their defense is a major problem, last in the league giving up 30.8 points per game. The Colts are near the bottom in passing at 196 yards and are averaging 99 yards rushing. Jacoby Brissett has passed for 1642 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions. The Colts are giving up 290 yards passing each week.

Over is 4-1 in Texans last 5 home games.
Free Betting Pick: Houston Texans -13 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NFL/)

Bengals at Jaguars 11/5/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions by Jim

Latest Odds : JAC -4 TOTAL 39.5

The Jacksonville Jaguars are for real t his year, and they pasted the Colts last week 29-0. The 4-3 Jaguars host the 3-4 Bengals this week. Jacksonville has rotated wins and losses this year, and is due for a loss if that trend continues.

The hype for Jacksonville has been rookie running back Leonard Fournette, who has done very well. Even so, it is the Jaguar defense that is making things happen. The Jaguars lead the league in total defense, holding opponents to 15.7 points per game. Their offense is eighth, averaging 26.1. The Jaguars also lead the league in rushing at 169 yards per game. Their passing game is near the bottom though, at 192 yards per game.

Fournette leads the team with 596 yards and sixtouchdowns. CHris Iveory has 209 yards rushing. Fournette also has 136 yards receiving and one more touchdown. Blake Bortles has passed for 1398 yards, nine touchdowns and five interceptions. Marquise Lee has 363 yards receiving and Allen Hurns has 234 with two touchdowns.

The Bengals seem to have turned the corner, and have won three of the last four games after an 0-3 start. The Bengals pulled out a one-point win over the Colts last weekend. The team has had four of its seven games decided by four or fewer points.

Andy Dalton has passed for 1603 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions. AJ Green has 572 yards receivng an four touchdowns. JoeMixon has 253 yards rushing. The Bengals are near the bottom at rushing, at 78 yards per game. Cincinnati averaging 17 points and is giving up 19.3 each week.
Recent Betting Trends:
Bengals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.
Jaguars are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games.
Under is 11-4 in Bengals last 15 games overall.
Over is 5-1 in Jaguars last 6 games on grass.
Free Betting Pick: Cincinnati Bengals +4 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NFL/)
The Bengals have solid defense and think this screams low scoring defensive battle. Getting more than a Field Goal is plenty of points to ensure that the Bengals do plenty to cover for us bettors. Jags turnovers comes back to bite them as Cincinnati gets much needed road win. Final Score Prediction, Cincinnati Bengals win as underdog but grab the points just in case 17-13.

Falcons at Panthers 11/5/17 - NFL Picks & Predictionsby Adam

Latest Odds : CAR -1.5 TOTAL 44

The Atlanta Falcons (4 - 3, 3 - 1 Away) are on the road this week in order to take on the home town Carolina Panthers (5 - 3, 1 - 2 Home). Despite their strong record, Carolina has consistently struggled with their play at home this year. Atlanta and Carolina both come into this game fresh off of a win and each team desperately needs to start stringing them together to pace New Orleans in the NFC South. Carolina is hosting at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC.

The Carolina Panthers take the field with an offense that has, by fits and turns, been incredibly hard to calibrate. QB Cam Newton (1,841 yards, 10 TD, 11 INT) has looked like an elite QB at times while folding in on himself at other opportunities. Carolina is averaging just 19 PPG on offense this season and they keep winning games due to their slow pace, and grind-it-out mentality.

The Atlanta Falcons come into this game completely struggling to live up to expectations after last year's Super Bowl berth. Atlanta is only scoring 22 PPG despite having elite talent all over the field. Atlanta looked a little better last week against New York but the Falcons still need to find a way to get star wideout Julio Jones (37 catches, 540 yards, 1 TD) the ball. Atlanta may be without star running back Devonta Freeman in this game.
Recent Betting Trends:
Falcons are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 vs. NFC.
Panthers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games in November.
Over is 19-6-1 in Falcons last 26 games overall.
Over is 3-1-1 in Panthers last 5 games following a straight up win.
Free Betting Pick: Carolina Panthers -1.5 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NFL/)
Must win for both of these teams but the Falcons can't do enough to pull road upset over desperate Panthers team. Panthers QB Cam Newton uses his legs to get a few big first downs and it's enough to lead Carolina to win. Final Score Prediction, Carolina Panthers win and cover ATS 23-19.

Latest Odds : PHI -7.5 TOTAL 43.5

Lincoln Financial Field will play host to a Sunday afternoon NFL matchup between the Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles.

Free Betting Pick: Denver Broncos +7 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NFL/)
Denver WR Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) was inactive on Monday night and hopes to return for this matchup. The Broncos are a mess offensively at the moment and could turn to Paxton Lynch at quarterback. Denver cannot afford to lose four straight and will give their best effort. Final Score Prediction, Philadelphia Eagles win but fall short ATS 23-21.

Chiefs at Cowboys 11/5/17 - NFL Picks & Predictions by Eddie

Latest Odds : DAL -1 TOTAL 51.5

Through eight games, Kansas City ranks 3rd in total offense and is averaging 29.5 points per contest. Dallas comes into this game ranked 13th in yards allowed and giving up 23 points on average.

Free Betting Pick: Kansas City Chiefs +1 (http://picksandparlays.net/index/odds/league/NFL/)
Dallas RB Ezekiel Elliott had his six-game suspension upheld and he will not be able to return until week 15. The Cowboys have looked really good over the last two weeks and this would have been a good spot to back them if Elliott was able to play. Take the Chiefs to pull this one out on the road. Final Score Prediction, Kansas City Chiefs win and cover ATS 27-24.

Today's Nashua Stakes, is named for the 1955 Horse of the Year, owned and bred by the Belair Stud and trained by the late "Sunny" Jim Fitzsimmons. Nashua raced for three years in the mid-1950s before retiring with earnings of $1,288,565. Although he was outrun in the 1955 Kentucky Derby by Swaps, Nashua turned the tables on that rival in a $100,000 match race. A syndicate headed by Leslie Combs, II bought Nashua for a then-unprecedented $1.2 million. He stood at stud for 25 years, siring 85 stakes winners. His offspring earned more than $16 million. Here in the 41st running of this graded stake test, #6 SUPER SERMON has hit the board in "POWER RUN FASHION" in both of his two career starts to date, including a "POWER RUN WIN" to break his maiden in his last start. Jockey John Velazquez and Trainer Todd Pletcher send him to the post ... they've his the board with 54% of more than 340 entries saddled as a team to date. #5 AVEENU MALCAINU, the morning line favorite, drops in class (-9), and posted "POWER RUN WINS" in the first two races of his young, 3 race career to date.

HOLLAND ROAD - Taking a drop in class rating points from his Sep 30th race at Belmont Park. Based on that data, I will give this thoroughbred the advantage. SILBERADO - Alvarado and Mott teamed up together are a punter's friend. I think the shorter trip will help this colt stay the distance.

INDAVIDUALIST - Doesn't seem to have enough good aspects to warrant the value. MATRICULATE - Not likely for this participant to make a winning move with no recent success in a short distance race. IRON ROB - This gelding showed very liitle last time. When scrutinizing today's class rating, he will have to record a much better speed figure than in the last race to compete in this dirt sprint.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - NATIVE TREASURE - Claimed after his last two starts, this horse figures to do well in the affair with these horses.

Preview: Colts at TexansGracenote
Nov 2, 2017

Houston was dealt a dose of devastating news when rookie DeShaun Watson suffered a torn ACL at practice on Thursday. The Texans expect to be without their breakout quarterback under center - and possibly for much of next season as well - when they host the struggling Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Watson threw for a career-high 402 yards and four touchdowns in last week's wild 41-38 loss at Seattle but reports out of Houston indicated he tore the ligament in a non-contact drill. With Watson sidelined, the Texans will have to go back to Tom Savage, who lost his starting job midway through the team's season-opener. The Colts, who have also dealt with quarterback issues, made it official on Thursday that Andrew Luck would miss the rest of the season due to lingering shoulder problems. Ravaged by a slew of injuries, especially to its offensive line, Indianapolis has dropped three straight - including last week's 24-23 setback at Cincinnati.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: No line. O/U: None.

ABOUT THE COLTS (2-6): Playing for Luck, Jacoby Brissett has been nothing less than a warrior getting battered week after week. Despite being sacked a league-high 29 times, Brissett has completed 60.4 percent of his passes and nearly led the team to an upset win at Cincinnati last week before his fourth-quarter pass was picked off and returned 16 yards for a touchdown by Carlos Dunlap with 6:58 to play. The Colts reportedly were in trade talks this week involving several players, among them receivers T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief, cornerback Vontae Davis and running back Frank Gore, but made no deals.
ABOUT THE TEXANS (3-4): Buoyed by Watson's strong play, the Texans lead the NFL in scoring averaging 30.4 points a game and have surpassed that total for five straight games. DeAndre Hopkins has re-emerged as one of the league's best receivers with six touchdowns over the past four games, including a career-high 224 yards last week. Will Fuller has been equally effective with seven touchdown receptions in just four games after getting his season started late due to injury, but all bets are off without Watson making the throws.

EXTRA POINTS
1. Houston has won three straight in the series, including both matchups last season. Also, the last six meetings have been decided by seven points or less.
2. With his 3-for-3 field goal kicking performance last week, Colts K Adam Vinatieri tied Gary Anderson for the second-most points scored in NFL history with 2,434.
3. TE Jack Doyle recorded 12 catches in Week 8, the most in a game for any Colts player since Reggie Wayne had 13 receptions against the Packers in 2012.

Preview: Bengals at JaguarsGracenote
Nov 2, 2017

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a very simple formula for winning games - run the ball effectively and play great defense - but they struggle to put those things together with consistency. The Jaguars will try to win consecutive games for the first time this season when they host the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Jacksonville leads the NFL in scoring defense, surrendering an average of 15.7 points, but it allowed an average of 5.8 points in four wins and 29 points in three losses. The Jaguars, who were on a bye last week, added to their defense by trading for former Pro Bowl tackle Marcell Dareus, who is expected to make his team debut on Sunday and said, "I am thoroughly happy just to be a Jag. It feels good to be wanted." The Jaguars weren't the only team active in front of the trade deadline, and the Bengals thought they had a deal in place to send backup quarterback AJ McCarron to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a pair of draft picks before the deal fell through at the last minute. "AJ is a very valuable member of this team," Cincinnati head coach Marvin Lewis told reporters. "...Frankly, I was relieved I don't have to go through the next step. He's a great kid. He's a true team player. He's a leader."

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Jaguars -4.5. O/U: 39

ABOUT THE BENGALS (3-4): Cincinnati pulled out a win in three of its last four games after dropping three in a row to start the season, and a stretch of three consecutive games on the road beginning Sunday could decide the team's playoff fate. The Bengals earned a 24-23 win over Indianapolis last week behind a pair of touchdown passes from quarterback Andy Dalton, who is turning his season around after a terrible start. Dalton threw two TD passes and four interceptions during the 0-3 start but owns nine TD passes and four picks in the last four games, with three of those recent TD passes going to favorite target A.J. Green.

ABOUT THE JAGUARS (4-3): Jacksonville beat that same Colts team 27-0 before its bye and will blanket Green with a passing defense that leads the NFL, surrendering an average of just 162 yards. The Jaguars were without rookie running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) in the last game, but he returned to practice this week and is likely to start and make a bid for his third straight 100-yard rushing performance. T.J. Yeldon slotted seamlessly into Fournette's spot at the Colts and rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown on nine carries to keep Jacksonville atop the NFL in rushing offense at 169 yards per game.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Bengals CB Dre Kirkpatrick (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and is expected to play.

2. Jacksonville LF Cam Robinson (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday while WR Marqise Lee (knee) did not participate.

3. Cincinnati's Brandon LaFell (hamstring) returned to practice but fellow WR Tyler Boyd (knee) remains questionable.

Preview: Buccaneers at SaintsGracenote
Nov 2, 2017

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were expected to be the darlings of the NFC South in the preseason, poised to take over the division while the New Orleans Saints played out the end of Drew Brees' career near the bottom of the standings. The two teams reversed that narrative so far this season, and the first-place Saints will go for their sixth consecutive win when they host the last-place Buccaneers on Sunday.

Brees is solid as always, but the big improvement over the last five games for New Orleans has come on the other side of the ball, where rookie cornerback Marshon Lattimore is proving to be an impact player. "We just have that mentality, that dog mentality, everyone in the room has that. Sometimes we want the game on our back," said Lattimore, who intercepted Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky with 1:22 left last week to ensure a 20-12 win. "We want to be out there and seal the game." That surging Saints defense will take on a Tampa Bay offense that failed to find the end zone in a 17-3 home loss to Carolina last week, the team's fourth straight setback. "We've got to play good football on a more consistent basis," Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter told reporters. "Once we do that, the wins will come. You've got to keep doing things right. We're playing good football in spurts but we're not playing consistently enough in any area."

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Saints -7. O/U: 50

ABOUT THE BUCCANEERS (2-5): Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston is dealing with a shoulder injury but practiced on Wednesday - the first time he joined the mid-week practice since suffering the injury on Oct. 15. Winston completed 21-of-38 passes for 210 yards and two interceptions in the loss to the Panthers last week, marking the fourth time in the last five games that he failed to complete at least 60 percent of his passes. Winston could be without wide receiver Adam Humphries, who is third on the team with 29 receptions, after he was limited in practice on Thursday due to a rib injury.

ABOUT THE SAINTS (5-2): Running back Mark Ingram became the undisputed starter again when New Orleans traded away Adrian Peterson last month and averaged 98 yards in the last three weeks, but fumbled on two straight fourth-quarter drives against Chicago last week. "I sucked. I sucked," Ingram told reporters. "That's the bottom line: I sucked. Two possessions we're about to ice the game, and I sucked. Let the ball go, hurt my team, hurt my coaches. That's the thing about a family, that's the thing about a team: They lift you up, they had my back, and we were able to get the W. But I was whack, I sucked, and I'll be better." The Saints' focus on the running game is keeping some pressure off Brees, who completed 23-of-28 passes for 299 yards last week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. New Orleans is dealing with injuries along the offensive line to G Larry Warford (abdomen), G Andrus Peat (hip) and T Terron Armstead (shoulder), none of whom practiced in full on Thursday.

2. Tampa Bay CB Brent Grimes (shoulder) is doubtful for Sunday but CB Robert McClain (concussion) is expected to play.

3. The teams split two meetings in each of the last two seasons.

Nov 3, 2017

The Los Angeles Rams aim to at least maintain a share of first place in the NFC West when they visit the downtrodden New York Giants on Sunday. Los Angeles has won four of its last five games, with the lone setback in that span coming against Seattle - the team with which it is tied for the division lead.

The Rams, who are 3-0 on the road this season, are coming off a bye week that was preceded by a thorough 33-0 thrashing of Arizona in which Jared Goff threw for a touchdown and ran for another. New York also is returning from its bye after dropping a 24-7 decision to the Seahawks in Week 7. The defeat was the third in as many home games this season for the Giants, who have allowed at least 24 points in each of their last five losses. New York has dominated the all-time series of late, winning seven straight meetings since being edged by the Rams 15-14 in 2001.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Rams -3.5. O/U: 42

ABOUT THE RAMS (5-2): Todd Gurley, who ranks fifth in the league with 627 rushing yards, is seeking his fourth straight 100-yard performance on the road. The 23-year-old enters the contest third in the NFL with 920 yards from scrimmage and shares the league lead with eight overall touchdowns, including three as a receiver. Goff also has been a beast away from home, throwing for 671 yards and six TDs without an interception.

ABOUT THE GIANTS (1-6): New York will be without cornerback Janoris Jenkins, who was suspended indefinitely for violation of team rules. Jenkins has recorded 24 tackles this season while returning his lone interception for a touchdown. Eli Manning needs to throw for 186 yards to become the seventh quarterback in NFL history with 50,000 career passing yards.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Rams DT Aaron Donald has recorded 31 sacks since 2014, which is the most in the league at his position.

2. New York has allowed only two 100-yard rushers this season but has held just one team as a whole (Denver) under 100 yards on the ground.

3. Los Angeles K Greg Zuerlein was named the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month for October after recording 51 points on 14 field goals and nine extra points.

Preview: Falcons at PanthersGracenote
Nov 3, 2017

Despite playing well below expectations, the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons still are right in the thick of the race in the NFC South. One of the underachieving contenders can pick up a huge divisional victory when the Panthers host the Falcons on Sunday.

Things haven’t been pretty for either offense lately, but both teams are a game or less behind division-leading New Orleans, and matchups like Sunday’s will be pivotal as the clouded playoff picture begins to take shape. "This one counts for two, a divisional opponent," Carolina quarterback Cam Newton told reporters. "We're expecting big things. All seasons are better when we beat Atlanta. We didn't do it last year." The Falcons have won the last three meetings, with Matt Ryan passing for 362 yards per game with seven touchdowns and one interception in those contests. Atlanta’s high-powered offense still is moving the ball effectively but has had a tough time hanging on to it and punching it into the end zone.
TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Falcons -1. O/U: 42.5

ABOUT THE FALCONS (4-3): While Atlanta endures the Super Bowl hangover, Ryan seems to be experiencing an MVP hangover. He has only nine touchdown passes and six interceptions through seven games and has struggled in the red zone, as star receiver Julio Jones has just one TD reception. Atlanta’s defense has been solid, holding three of its last four opponents under 300 total yards, but has to create more turnovers after generating only four thus far.
ABOUT THE PANTHERS (5-3): Carolina’s offense is a mess after failing to crack 300 total yards for the second straight game and the fifth time this season. Newton has thrown more interceptions (11) than touchdown passes (10), and now the Panthers have traded one of his favorite targets in Kelvin Benjamin, who was dealt to Buffalo. An outstanding defense is responsible for the Panthers remaining in the playoff race, as they rank second in total defense and fifth in scoring defense.

EXTRA POINTS
1. Ryan has thrown a touchdown pass in 26 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the league, and has an NFL-record stretch of 62 straight contests with at least 200 passing yards.
2. Panthers DE Mario Addison has recorded at least one sack in each of his last five games against NFC South opponents.
3. Jones has 25 receptions for 538 yards and two touchdowns in his last three contests against Carolina.

Preview: Broncos at EaglesGracenote
Nov 3, 2017

The Philadelphia Eagles are soaring with a six-game winning streak that has helped them claim the NFL's best record and heighten expectations in the City of Brotherly Love. The Eagles aim to continue their ascent on Sunday, when they host Brock Osweiler and the Denver Broncos.

Carson Wentz (NFL high-tying 19 touchdowns, NFC-best 2,063 passing yards) earned NFC Offensive Player of the Month honors after tossing a franchise-best 14 touchdown passes in October. The second-year quarterback will see a new face in the backfield, as Pro-Bowl rusher Jay Ajayi was acquired from Miami prior to the trade deadline for a fourth-round pick in the 2018 draft. Osweiler returns to the starting position he held with the Broncos in 2015 - with a mammoth contract and trips to Houston and Cleveland along the way - after taking over for an ineffective Trevor Siemian, who threw three interceptions in a 29-19 loss to Kansas City on Monday. "It's not one guy, we made the change ... on offense, everyone's got to play better, we've got to coach better, we're all in this together," offensive coordinator Mike McCoy told reporters.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Eagles -7.5. O/U: 43

ABOUT THE BRONCOS (3-4): To take pressure off Osweiler, C.J. Anderson, Devontae Booker and former Chief Jamaal Charles will need to make hay against the league's top-ranked defense after rolling up 177 yards rushing versus Kansas City. An offensive jolt is needed by Denver with tensions at an all-time high in the Rocky Mountains. "There's high tension. We're not winning. We're giving the ball away,” cornerback Chris Harris told the Denver Post. "We're tired of losing the same way. We have to score some points. You can't win if you can’t score. ... We've been fighting uphill the last two years."
ABOUT THE EAGLES (7-1): Wentz's most familiar target has been Zach Ertz, who leads all NFC tight ends with 43 receptions and 528 yards while reeling in at least one touchdown pass in four straight games. Ertz's six scoring catches give him one more than Nelson Agholor, who had stepped up with a touchdown reception in three straight games before being limited to just three catches for 26 yards in a 33-10 romp over winless San Francisco. Alshon Jeffery found the end zone versus the 49ers, however, despite having just two receptions for the second straight week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Philadelphia has scored 20 or more points in 12 consecutive contests.

2. Denver LB Von Miller registered seven sacks in a five-game stretch before being held in check last week.

3. Eagles CB Jalen Mills has made two of his team-leading three interceptions in his last three contests.

Preview: Ravens at TitansGracenote
Nov 2, 2017

The Tennessee Titans hope the return of dynamic wide receiver Corey Davis helps ignite their offense when they host the Baltimore Ravens in a crucial AFC matchup on Sunday. The Titans have won two straight to climb into a tie for the AFC South lead despite a passing offense that ranks 26th in the league.

Baltimore expects to have Joe Flacco back under center after the veteran quarterback sustained a concussion on a vicious hit by Kiko Alonso in last week's 40-0 win over Miami. Flacco returned to the team the next day vastly improved and is on the path to make the start, according to coach John Harbaugh. Davis, who was the fifth pick in last year's draft, has missed most of the season with a significant hamstring injury. He returned to practice on Monday and looks to jump right into the team's No. 1 receiver role. TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: No line. O/U: None.

ABOUT THE RAVENS (4-4): Flacco has just six touchdowns and eight interceptions on the season and has failed to throw for more than 235 yards in any game this season. He was held out of practice for most of the week, but Harbaugh said he would start if he was cleared by the medical department. Alex Collins ran for a career-high 113 yards and Baltimore got a big boost from its defense, which returned two interceptions for touchdowns in the most lopsided shutout in franchise history last week.
ABOUT THE TITANS (4-3): Davis, who set an FBS record with 5,285 career receiving yards at Western Michigan, hauled in six passes for 69 yards in the season opener and expects to be on a snap count on Sunday. “We have control over the routes he's running right now, the number of routes he’s running, everything he's doing,” coach Mike Mularkey said. “If we let him, he'd probably take every snap that he could. We'll be smart letting him back in.” Tennessee will likely look to get the ground game involved, too, led by its tandem of DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry, who have combined for 703 yards on 161 yards and four touchdowns.

EXTRA POINTS
1. The Ravens rank last in the NFL in passing yards averaging 152.9 yards a game.
2. The Titans have allowed 15.7 points per game allowed in its last three.
3. Ravens RB Danny Woodhead returned to practice Tuesday, but he's not eligible to return until Nov. 19.

Preview: Cardinals at 49ersGracenote
Nov 3, 2017

Jimmy Garoppolo could make his debut for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday as they make yet another attempt at their first win of the season when they host the Arizona Cardinals. C.J. Beathard is expected to make his third consecutive start for the 49ers, but the team could wind up turning to Garoppolo, who was acquired from New England on Monday.

After a streak of five straight games in which it lost by fewer than four points, San Francisco was outscored 73-20 in back-to-back setbacks against Dallas and Philadelphia. The Cardinals return from their bye week with a new starting quarterback as Carson Palmer suffered a broken left arm in a 33-0 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7 and likely is out for the season. Stepping in for Palmer is nothing new for Drew Stanton, who has guided Arizona to a 6-3 record in such situations. The Cardinals look to sweep the season series against the NFC West-rival 49ers after posting an 18-15 victory at home on Oct. 1.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Cardinals -2.5. O/U: 39.5

ABOUT THE CARDINALS (3-4): Adrian Peterson gained 134 yards on 26 carries in his team debut against Tampa Bay but was held to 21 on 11 rushes by the Rams in his last outing. The former league MVP needs 17 yards and one touchdown to join Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton, LaDainian Tomlinson, Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk and Marcus Allen as the only players in NFL history to rush for 12,000 yards and 100 TDs. Stanton has guided Arizona to two victories over the 49ers as a starter, throwing for 368 yards and four touchdowns without an interception.

ABOUT THE 49ERS (0-8): With Garoppolo in the fold, San Francisco parted ways with Brian Hoyer, releasing the veteran quarterback on Monday. The 32-year-old Hoyer, who signed a three-year contract with New England two days later, completed 119-of-205 passes for 1,245 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions for the 49ers. The club also said goodbye to Rashard Robinson, trading the cornerback to the New York Jets for an undisclosed draft pick in 2018.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The 49ers placed DB Jimmie Ward on injured reserve, signed OL Bryce Harris to a one-year contract and promoted CB Greg Mabin from the practice squad.

2. Arizona LB Chandler Jones has recorded a sack in three straight games and ranks third in the NFC with eight on the season.

3. San Francisco has scored a touchdown in the first quarter just once this campaign.

Preview: Redskins at SeahawksGracenote
Nov 3, 2017

Russell Wilson is fresh off the highest passing-yardage output of his stellar career and now strives to help the Seattle Seahawks record their fifth consecutive victory when they host the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Wilson threw for 452 yards and four touchdowns in last week's 41-38 victory over Houston and now looks to help hand the Redskins their third straight defeat.

Wilson (the sixth quarterback selected) and Washington's Kirk Cousins (eighth) were afterthought picks in the 2012 draft but have proven to be better players than many chosen ahead of them that year. "I'm happy for him and all the success he's had and the way he's been able to earn all those accomplishments and wins and a Super Bowl championship," Cousins told reporters of Wilson. "He's done so many great things in this league and he's got so many good years ahead of him, and he's certainly a bright spot in our league when you talk about just somebody to be excited about and fun to watch and that people can get behind." Cousins was sacked four times in each of the Redskins' back-to-back setbacks and Seattle defensive ends Michael Bennett (5 1/2 sacks) and Frank Clark (4 1/2) likely are salivating at rushing off the edge. The Seahawks have topped 40 points in two of their last four games while Washington has allowed an average of 33.5 points in its last two contests.
TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Seahawks -7. O/U: 45

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (3-4): Cousins has passed for 1,900 yards and 13 touchdowns against four interceptions and has topped 300 yards on three occasions this season. Running back Chris Thompson is the team leader in both rushing (231) and receiving yards (442) while wideout Terrelle Pryor Sr. (18 catches, 223 yards), who has been a major disappointment, was benched during last Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. Zach Brown leads the NFL with 75 tackles while fellow linebacker Ryan Kerrigan is coming off his 10th career performance with two or more sacks and has recorded six in his last seven contests.

ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (5-2): Wilson (2,008) is on his way to his third consecutive 4,000-yard season and has thrown 15 touchdown passes against four interceptions. The running game has been stagnant (97.6 yards per game) as Wilson recorded 30 of the team's 33 rushing yards against Houston as both Eddie Lacy (108 yards) and Thomas Rawls (59) have been huge disappointments this season. Star cornerback Richard Sherman recorded his first two interceptions of the campaign last Sunday to share the team lead with free safety Earl Thomas (hamstring), who could miss the contest against Washington.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Seahawks posted a 27-17 victory over the Redskins in the most-recent meeting in 2014 to halt a six-game skid in the all-time series.

2. Seattle LT Duane Brown, a three-time Pro Bowler who was acquired from Houston on Tuesday, will make his debut with the Seahawks.

3. Washington TE Jordan Reed (hamstring) likely will miss the contest.

Preview: Chiefs at CowboysGracenote
Nov 3, 2017

The Dallas Cowboys will have their star running back on the field Sunday against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs after all. Elliott was deemed eligible for the contest when a federal appeals court granted the NFL Players Association a brief administrative stay, but he will begin serving his six-game suspension related to a domestic assault claim in Week 10 unless the court extends it.

The Chiefs don’t necessarily need any help – they’re tied for the best record in the AFC and own the league’s No. 3 offense. However, Elliott’s absence would have been a welcome break for a defense that ranks 28th against the run. The Cowboys have won two straight on the back of Elliott, who has rushed for 297 yards and four touchdowns over the last two contests. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett is prepared to fill the gap when and if his star running back begins serving his ban, telling reporters, "We have great confidence in the guys that are going to play in his place. Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden and Rod Smith will all get opportunities to carry the football for us in different situations."
TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Cowboys -1.5. O/U: 52

ABOUT THE CHIEFS (6-2): Kansas City’s offense has clicked thanks to the flawless play of quarterback Alex Smith and the emergence of rookie Kareem Hunt, who leads the NFL in rushing yards (763) and scrimmage yards (1,070). The Chiefs have failed to crack 300 total yards in the two of their last three games, however, and they haven’t topped 100 rushing yards in any of their last three contests. The defense has masked its issues by forcing 13 turnovers, including five in last week’s 29-19 win over Denver.
ABOUT THE COWBOYS (4-3): Dallas is fortunate not to have to alter its offensive game plan, as the team's play-calling has been quite run-heavy. The presence of Elliott on Sunday means the Cowboys will not yet need to employ a committee in the backfield - which includes Morris, who has only 13 carries this season but is averaging 8.1 yards. The Cowboys’ success can be traced to their ability to stop the run – they’ve allowed an average of 59 yards on the ground in their four wins compared to 168.7 in their three losses.

EXTRA POINTS
1. Smith’s 16 touchdown passes are tied for the third-most without an interception to start a season in NFL history.
2. Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence leads the NFL with 10.5 sacks and has at least one in every game this season.
3. Dallas QB Dak Prescott has averaged 251.1 passing yards with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions in his last seven home contests.

Preview: Raiders at DolphinsGracenote
Nov 3, 2017

The Miami Dolphins parted ways with a Pro Bowl running back this week in a bid to jumpstart their team while the Oakland Raiders are hoping the return of their bruising back can provide a jolt to their ailing offense. The Dolphins and Raiders aim to turn around their fortunes at the other's expense on Sunday night in Miami.

Coach Adam Gase took his team to task after its NFL-worst offense was blanked for the second time in five games in an embarrassing 40-0 throttling by Baltimore on Oct. 26. The Dolphins experienced an impromptu face lift after jettisoning Jay Ajayi to Philadelphia for a fourth-round pick in the 2018 draft, thereby shuffling the rushing duties to Kenyan Drake and third-down specialist Damien Williams. A lack of a running game made Derek Carr and the Raiders one-dimensional last week, with the club falling for the fifth time in six games following a 34-14 setback to Buffalo. "Halfway mark, we're 3-5. That's not what we were looking for. but it's what we've earned to this point," Oakland coach Jack Del Rio said.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Raiders -3. O/U: 44

ABOUT THE RAIDERS (3-5): Carr followed up his 417-yard explosion versus Kansas City with a 313-yard effort against Buffalo, but he also tossed two interceptions for the third time in five contests. Michael Crabtree saw his three-game touchdown streak end last week, while Amari Cooper's breakout effort against the Chiefs was followed by a pedestrian 48-yard performance last week. Reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack has been held in check of late, registering just a half-sack over his last four games.

ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (4-3): Jay Cutler is expected to return under center after a one-game absence due to multiple cracked ribs, provided the veteran quarterback has a high pain tolerance. "From what basically I've been told, it's going to come down to how painful is it going to be when he starts throwing, moving around the pocket, getting hit?" Gase told reporters. Jarvis Landry has proven to be a familiar target as he ranks second in the league with 50 catches - albeit for only an eight-yard average. Fellow wideout DeVante Parker is set to return from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Miami DE Cameron Wake has recorded a team-leading six sacks in his last seven games and will square off against Oakland RT Marshall Newhouse, who has been slowed by a foot injury.

2. The Raiders are minus-6 in turnover differential this season after finishing the 2016 campaign at an NFL best-tying plus-16.

3. The Dolphins' offense ranks last in the league in points (13.1) and yards per game (252).

NFL opening line report: Unpredictable Panthers open as slight faves over Falcons in Week 9
Patrick Everson

"No one knows which Carolina club will show up for this one. The Panthers are one of the most mercurial teams in the league."

We’re heading into Week 9 of the NFL season, and the whole Ezekiel Elliott situation is still not resolved, which is forcing oddsmakers to tap the brakes a bit. Everson takes a look at opening lines on a quartet of next weekend’s contests, with insights from Scott Cooley, odds consultant for offshore sportsbook Bookmaker.eu.

Kansas City Chiefs at Dallas Cowboys (no line)

Dallas still had Elliott’s services Sunday, and he delivered in a big way on the highway. The star running back racked up 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns, helping the Cowboys (4-3 SU and ATS) top Washington 33-19 as a 3-point favorite. Elliott’s Week 9 status is uncertain at this point.

Kansas City still has some Week 8 work to do, hosting the Denver Broncos on Monday night. The Chiefs (5-2 SU and ATS) got out of the box 5-0 SU and ATS, then lost at home to Pittsburgh and at Oakland.

“The Elliott situation will keep this game a bit muddled until we get clarity on his availability,” Cooley said. “As well, we’ll want to wait and see how the Chiefs fare Monday night. If nothing changes and these teams come into this great matchup as is, then Dallas will be a short favorite.”

Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers (-1.5)

Atlanta still doesn’t look like the team that reached the Super Bowl last year, but at least Matt Ryan and Co. put a three-game SU and ATS skid in the rearview mirror. The Falcons (5-3 SU, 2-5 ATS) held off the New York Jets 25-20 on Sunday, though they again failed to cash as a 6.5-point chalk.

Carolina has been up-and-down all season, as well, but ended a two-game hiccup in Week 8. The Panthers (5-3 SU, 4-4 ATS) dropped Tampa Bay 17-3 as a 1.5-point road underdog.

“No one knows which Carolina club will show up for this one. The Panthers are one of the most mercurial teams in the league,” Cooley said. “Atlanta pulled out a quality win this week, but certainly something is amiss with the team. My best guess is that we’ll see some Falcons money, especially from the public, which I think we’d be happy with.”

Denver Broncos at Philadelphia Eagles (no line)

Philadelphia might well be the league’s No. 1 team, certainly by looking at the standings. The Eagles (7-1 SU, 6-2 ATS) have won six and a row and cashed five straight, plowing past San Francisco 33-10 laying 13 points at home Sunday.

As noted above, Denver still has to take a stern Week 8 test on Monday night in Kansas City. The Broncos (3-3 SU and ATS) are 1-3 SU and ATS in their last four outings, losing the last two in embarrassing fashion. Denver was a 13.5-point home favorite against the New York Giants and lost outright 23-10, then got bageled at San Diego 21-0 giving 1 point.

“Two teams quickly trending in opposite directions,” Cooley said. “The Eagles look like the NFC’s best team, and we’ll see if Denver can save some face Monday night and get back on track a bit. If nothing outrageous happens to the Broncos on Monday, we’ll open them around touchdown ‘dogs at Philly.”

Washington Redskins at Seattle Seahawks (-7)

It took nearly half the season, but Seattle finally caught up to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West. The Seahawks (5-2 SU, 4-3 ATS) won a wild one Sunday against Houston, getting a Jimmy Graham touchdown catch in the waning seconds to claim a 41-38 home victory as a 6-point chalk.

Washington is competitive every single week, yet finds itself with a 3-4 SU and 2-5 ATS record. The Redskins were within 26-19 Sunday against visiting Dallas, but Kirk Cousins threw a last-minute pick-six, cementing a 33-19 loss as a 3-point pup.

“Unfortunately, the injury bug just keeps biting for Washington,” Cooley said, alluding primarily to the Redskins’ battered offensive line. “But Jay Gruden is a great offensive mind, and he was able to keep his team in the game with half an O-line against Dallas. The public doesn’t back off Seattle, even if the Seahawks aren’t at their best, so we wanted to be generous with this number, especially considering the state the Redskins are in.”

NFL's biggest betting mismatches: Week 9
Monty Andrews

Last season, the Eagles managed a touchdown on less than 50 percent of their red-zone visits; fast-forward to 2017, and they come into Week 9 ranked second in red-zone touchdown rate at 68 percent.

Cincinnati Bengals at Jacksonville Jaguars (-4.5, 39.5)

Bengals QB protection issues vs. Jaguars' sack-happy defense

The Jacksonville Jaguars haven't been the most consistent team in football this season, but they remain very much in the hunt for the AFC South title as they host the Cincinnati Bengals. Jacksonville's four victories have come by at least 21 points, and they're coming off a much-needed bye week following a 27-0 rout of Indianapolis a week earlier. Yet, as impressive as the Jaguars offense has been at times, it's the defense - which has a sizeable advantage this week - that could lead this team to a division crown.

The Bengals' offensive line has struggled to protect quarterback Andy Dalton so far this season, giving up sacks on better than nine percent of dropbacks - the fourth-worst rate in the league. Cincinnati has surrendered 22 total sacks through its first seven games, while their 48 passes defended rank behind only the Arizona Cardinals. The Bengals allowed a sack on just 6.8 percent of their dropbacks last season, and their eight interceptions thrown match their entire 2016 total.

Dalton isn't likely to get much relief this weekend against a Jaguars pass rush considered one of the best in the sport. In addition to recording four defensive touchdowns, 10 interceptions and nine forced fumbles, Jacksonville leads the NFL with a whopping 33 sacks - six more than the second-place Carolina Panthers. The Jaguars have produced a sack on 12.3 percent of opposing dropbacks so far this season, miles ahead of the 5.7-percent rate they recorded last season.

Los Angeles Rams at New York Giants (+3.5, 42)

Rams' drive-extension prowess vs. Giants' third-down doldrums

The Rams carry a two-game winning streak into Sunday afternoon's encounter with a Giants team that might already be looking toward next season. Los Angeles is coming off a bye following Week 7's 33-0 dismantling of the division-rival Arizona Cardinals, and still boasts one of the league's top offenses as we near the midway point of the season. One of the main reasons: An elite third-down offensive showing that runs in stark contrast to the Giants' inability to sustain drives.

Led by an emerging star in quarterback Jared Goff, the Rams have been sensational at keeping the football, converting nearly 49 percent of their third-down opportunities - the best rate in the NFL. Los Angeles went a stunning 13-for-19 on third downs in the one-sided win over the Cardinals, allowing it to retain possession for more than 39 minutes. It's a complete 180-degree turn for the Rams, who finished dead last in 2016 by converting just 31 percent of their third-down chances.

The Giants can sympathize with last year's version of the Rams - in more ways than one. With just one win in its first seven games, New York is off to a nightmare start - and its third-down troubles are a part of that. The Giants have earned a first down or points on just 32.6 percent of their third downs; only San Francisco, Miami and Cleveland have been less prolific. And with Eli Manning down to just a few worthwhile offensive options, that number could dip even further.

Denver Broncos at Philadelphia Eagles (-7.5, 44)

Broncos' red-zone struggles vs. Eagles' relentless offense

You can't often make the case that a Week 7 game is "must-win", but the Broncos can ill afford to risk falling another game behind the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West as they visit the red-hot Philadelphia Eagles. Denver comes into the week having lost three in a row, and will need to improve its red zone offense if it has any hope of overtaking the Chiefs atop the division. And even that might not matter against an Eagles team that has been one of the NFL's most dangerous inside its opponents' 20-yard line.

The Broncos are 2 1/2 games back of Kansas City following Monday's 29-19 loss to the Chiefs, and their red-zone offense is at least partly to blame for Denver's recent struggles. The Broncos converted 1-of-3 red-zone trips into touchdowns in the loss to Kansas City, and has scored TDs from inside the opponents' 20-yard line at a 44-percent rate; only Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Tennessee and Arizona have been less prolific in the red zone.

Meanwhile, what a difference a year has made in Philadelphia. Last season, the Eagles managed a touchdown on less than 50 percent of their red-zone visits; fast-forward to 2017, and they come into Week 9 ranked second in red-zone touchdown rate at 68 percent. And there's a good chance of that trend continuing, given that the Eagles have converted on 87.5 percent of red-zone trips over their past three games, and are scoring red-zone touchdowns at a 76.9-percent pace at home.

Washington Redskins at Seattle Seahawks (-7, 45)

Redskins' dynamite discipline vs. Seahawks' flag follies

The Washington Redskins have a difficult task ahead of them as they venture to hostile CenturyLink Field for an NFC encounter with the Seattle Seahawks. Washington has just one win over its first three road games, and adding to that total will be tough against a Seattle team that has won each of its first three home games. But Washington might have an equalizer: A pattern of disciplined play that could come in handy against the penalty-happy Seahawks.

Washington has been on its best behavior through seven games, incurring just 38 total penalties for a league-low 291 yards against. The Redskins have been particularly disciplined when they have the ball, picking up as scant 13 offensive penalties for 105 yards. Even in Sunday's 33-19 home defeat at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys, Washington was charged with just five penalties for 32 yards while drawing eight flags for 89 yards against the visitors.

The Seahawks are running neck-and-neck with the Rams for NFC West supremacy, but they'll need to work on their discipline moving forward. Seattle has been flagged an NFL-high 66 times on the season, while the 534 total yards they've surrendered via penalty are sixth-most in the league. The Seahawks also rank last overall in penalty flag differential (minus-22) and penalty yard differential (minus-156). If that trend continues, Washington could make a game of it.

Wiseguys are advising that these Week 9 NFL lines are going to move

The Los Angeles Rams are allowing just 11 points per game over their last three contests and are coming off a shutout win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Game to bet on now

Cincinnati Bengals at Jacksonville Jaguars (-4)

The Jags have quietly and efficiently built the best defense in the league. They’re the best against the pass, first in QB sacks, tops in points allowed and sixth in total yards allowed.

They do give up some yards on the ground, and that’s where the 3-5 Bengals will have to attack in they want to hang in and remain viable in the AFC North.

Oddly, the Jags seem to be worse (1-2) at home than they are on the road (3-1), but that doesn’t mean much considering the small sample size.

Jacksonville needs to keep pace with Tennessee, which has won two straight and appears to be getting better. There’s an opportunity to bet both sides and win both ways (also known as middle) with the line opening at -2 in some books and moving to -4 in others.

Game to wait on

Oakland Raiders at Miami Dolphins (+2.5)

The Dolphins have been outscored by an average of nearly nine points a game but somehow have managed to stay afloat in a competitive AFC East division.

Much of their ugly point differential is attributable to that 40-0 turd they dropped at Baltimore, but many teams struggle playing on Thursday night.

At any rate, Miami will benefit from a few extra days of rest and will be facing Raiders team that will be making its second straight cross-country trip to the East Coast.

The problem is at quarterback, where Jay Cutler has been out with a rib injury. He’ll play if he can, but if he can’t go, then Matt Moore (zero TDs, two INTs vs. the Ravens) will be thrown to the wolves again.

It might be a good idea to hang on a bit, as this game might be a PK if there is good news on Cutler.

Total to watch

Los Angeles Rams at New York Giants (43.5)

Can it get any worse for the Giants? They were out of the playoffs before September was over, their best offensive player (Odell Beckham Jr.) is done for the year and there is talk that it might be time to sit down Eli Manning and get a look at a backup who might be competing for the No. 1 job when training camp starts next summer.

Yikes.

The Giants are one of six teams averaging fewer than 300 total years a game, and appear to be catching the Rams at a bad time. LA is allowing just 11 points per game over its last three contests and is coming off a shutout win over the Cardinals.

Best and worst bets at the halfway mark of the NFL season
Ashton Grewal

Do you remember when the Oakland Raiders were getting all sorts of Super Bowl buzz back in early September before the start of the regular season? A lot of bettors would like a do over on that one.

The halfway point of the NFL season is here and it’s a good time to reflect on the best and worst bets after the first eight weeks’ worth of action on the gridiron.

Best ATS teams

Buffalo Bills (5-1-1 ATS)

Big Cat and PFT remind us every week that nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. Coincidentally, no one covers the spread like the Bills either. Buffalo is 5-1-1 against the spread and has won outright as an underdog three times already this year.

Philadelphia Eagles (6-2 ATS)

When they’re not standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona, the Eagles are taking it to the limit in the NFC East. Philly is 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS with wins over the Panthers, Chargers and Redskins. The Eagles are averaging 29 points per game and lead in the league in point differential at + 76.

Kansas City Chiefs (6-2 ATS)

The Chiefs traded up in the first round of the draft last spring to select a guy they thought would be replacing Alex Smith under center. Smith responded by playing the best half season of his pro career.

Smith has shed the moniker of Captain Checkdown with 2181 passing yards and a league-high 8.42 yards per passing attempt.

Kansas City upset the Patriots at Gillette Stadium as an 8-point underdog on the Thursday season kickoff game and clipped the Eagles 27-20 in Week 2. The Chiefs are 6-2 straight up and against the spread heading into this weekend’s game against the Cowboys.

Worst ATS Team

Arizona Cardinals (1-6 ATS)

Zona’s season was probably toast the minute David Johnson’s wrist exploded Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. The Cardinals stand at 3-4 SU, 1-6 ATS and are fresh off a 33-0 shutout loss to the Rams.

Arizona heads into the second half of the season with a 33-year-old career backup at quarterback (Drew Stanton), a 34-year-old as its leading receiver (Larry Fitzgerald) and a 32-year-old who’s been dumped by two teams in less than a year (Adrian Peterson) as its No. 1 running back.

Best Over Team

Houston Texans (Over 5-2)

The Chiefs are actually the best over team through eight weeks (Over is 6-2 in their games), but we already talked about them in the best ATS teams section.

The Texans metamorphosis needs to be discussed here. Houston’s identity used to be about its elite defense and borderline unwatchable offense. The script has been flipped ever since Deshaun Watson became the starting quarterback. The Texans are averaging 34.6 points per game since rookie took over and they’re giving up 30 points per game over their last five games.

The over is 5-0 in Houston’s last five games and 5-2 on the season.

Best Under Team

Pittsburgh Steelers (Under 1-7)

The Steelers scored an average of 2.8 touchdowns per game in 2016 and this year they’re finding the end zone only twice (2.0) a game. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had 29 TD passes in 14 games last season and has only 10 (with nine interceptions) through eight games this year.

The defense in Pittsburgh is rock solid helping the Steelers finish under the total in seven of their eight contests.

Season Win Total Review

Vegas and offshore sportsbooks do us the courtesy of setting over/under lines on each NFL team’s season wins total for the upcoming season. Everyone pounces on these lines and bets them for some early NFL action.

No Surprises Here

The Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49ers were both pegged with 4.5 season win totals and both find teams are still in search of their first win of the campaign.

Did Not See That Coming

The Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills have surprised a lot of casual and dedicated NFL bettors this year. The Rams are one victory formation away from surpassing their 5.5 season win total while the Bills are keeping pace with the Patriots in the AFC East and need just two more wins to top their preseason projection according to Vegas.

Should Have Seen That Coming

The 2016 Oakland Raiders were extremely fortunate to reach 12 wins on the season. We wrote a few articles saying the bubble was bound to burst on this overachieving side in the 2017 campaign, but the Raiders were one of the most popular offseason Super Bowl bets and people were gladly backing the Silver and Black to go over their 9.5 season win total.

Oakland is dead last in the AFC West and has fewer wins than the New York Jets after the first eight weeks of the season. Yikes.

Season Long Trends

Underdogs are barking this season despite the recent hot streak for chalk. Teams getting points were 53-35-1 against the spread after Week 6, but faves struck back in big way going 18-8-2 ATS over the last two weeks. Underdogs are still 61-53-3 ATS (53.5% win rate) on the year.

Preview: Red Wings at OilersGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

The Edmonton Oilers look to build off one of their best performances during a disappointing start to the season when they host the struggling Detroit Red Wings on Sunday afternoon. The Oilers finished the first month of the season with a 3-6-1 record and lost their November opener to Pittsburgh on Wednesday before getting goals from six different players en route to a 6-3 victory over New Jersey two days later.

“(Friday) was the first night in a while that we had everyone going and all the lines playing well, and playing the right way,” Edmonton captain Connor McDavid told reporters after registering three assists in the win. “We were rewarded, so it’s good to see.” The Oilers have yet to win back-to-back games and hope to take advantage of the Red Wings, who are 2-6-1 since starting the campaign with four wins in five contests. Detroit managed 12 goals in those six regulation losses and rank 27th in the league in scoring (2.57 tallies per contest) through Friday’s action. “We’ve got to get more net presence and make sure we are shooting the puck,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill told the Detroit Free Press. “You’ve got to score. We have to find a way. Again, that’s the league. It’s like this every single night, and we have to find a way. We are going to help ourselves by scoring more. That’s just a fact.”

TV: 4 p.m. ET, FSN Detroit, Sportsnet West (Edmonton)

ABOUT THE RED WINGS (6-7-1): Anthony Mantha has tallied in back-to-back games and recorded at least one point in three straight to move into third place on the team in scoring with 11 points. Dylan Larkin leads the way with 13 points - four in his last three contests - while defenseman Mike Green has notched 12 - but just one in his last five contests after posting an assist in Thursday’s 3-1 loss at Ottawa. Jimmy Howard (5-5-0 overall) has played well while starting each of the last six games, allowing 11 goals in the last five, but is expected to give way to backup Petr Mrazek (1-2-1, .901 save percentage) on Sunday.

ABOUT THE OILERS (4-7-1): Milan Lucic and Ryan Strome each scored their second goal while Drake Caggiula and Oscar Klefbom both registered their first of the season in the win over New Jersey. “What was nice to see was some of the unusual suspects getting on the scoresheet,” Edmonton coach Todd McLellan told reporters. “Their confidence level should go up a little bit and all three lines … played well and the utility guys pitched in when they needed to.” McDavid leads the team with 16 points and has notched at least one in five straight, including five assists over his last two contests.

OVERTIME

1. Detroit C Frans Nielsen, who has gone three games without a point, is scheduled to play in his 700th NHL contest Sunday.

2. Edmonton D Adam Larsson registered 13 hits in the victory over New Jersey and led the NHL with 57 through Friday’s games.

3. The Oilers are 3-0-1 against the Red Wings in the last four meetings, including a 4-3 win at home last season.

Preview: Avalanche at IslandersGracenote
Nov 5, 2017

The New York Islanders attempt to extend their season-opening home point streak to six games when they host the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday. New York has struggled on the road but is 4-0-1 at Barclays Center, where it has scored at least five goals in each contest during its current three-game winning stretch.

The Islanders hope to bounce back from a 4-3 loss at Washington on Thursday in which they battled back from three deficits before finally succumbing. Colorado posted its third consecutive overall victory Saturday as Mikko Rantanen scored in the third round of the shootout to give the team a 5-4 triumph at Philadelphia. The 21-year-old Finn also recorded his team-leading fifth goal in the win, scoring with the man advantage to give him a club-high four power-play tallies. Rantanen, who registered 20 goals as a rookie last season, shares the scoring lead on the Avalanche with Nathan MacKinnon and defenseman Tyson Barrie with 12 points.

TV: 6 p.m. ET, Altitude (Colorado), MSG Plus (New York)

ABOUT THE AVALANCHE (8-5-0): Colorado was without forwards Matt Nieto and Rocco Grimaldi on Saturday due to an illness that is running through the team's locker room. Gabriel Bourque, who had missed a week with an upper-body injury, was activated from injured reserve and joined defenseman Nikita Zadorov as replacements in the lineup. Barrie notched a point in nine of his last 10 games but has scored only two goals thus far this season - both of which were game-winners, giving him the team lead in that category.

ABOUT THE ISLANDERS (7-5-1): Anders Lee continued his offensive tear on Thursday, scoring two goals and setting up another for his third straight multi-point performance. The effort also gave the 27-year-old six tallies and seven assists during his seven-game point streak. Captain John Tavares also has been red-hot, recording multiple points in five of his last six contests (14 overall in that span) after notching a goal and an assist against the Capitals.

OVERTIME

1. The Avalanche will head to Sweden following Sunday's contest for a pair of games against Ottawa as part of the 2017 SAP NHL Global Series.

2. New York D Adam Pelech missed Thursday's game with an upper-body injury and is listed as day-to-day.

3. Colorado G Jonathan Bernier is expected to start Sunday after Semyon Varlamov was in net for the win over the Flyers.

Preview: Canadiens at BlackhawksGracenote
Nov 5, 2017

Coach Joel Quenneville will have a difficult decision to make on Sunday, when his Chicago Blackhawks host the Original Six-rival Montreal Canadiens. Quenneville must decide whether or not to start Corey Crawford, who has posted back-to-back shutouts - including a 2-0 triumph in Minnesota on Saturday.

Crawford turned aside 24 shots by the Wild three nights after making 35 saves in a 3-0 home triumph over Philadelphia but could be rested on Sunday in favor of backup Anton Forsberg. Montreal is wrapping up a four-game road trip during which it has scored 16 goals while going 2-1-0 over the first three contests. The Canadiens rallied from a two-goal deficit in the third period to post a 5-4 victory in Winnipeg on Saturday as Max Pacioretty netted a power-play tally 3:07 into overtime. Montreal's captain added two assists, giving him six points during his four-game streak.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NHL Network, Sportsnet, RDS (Montreal), NBCSN Chicago

ABOUT THE CANADIENS (5-8-1): Al Montoya, who made 19 saves on Saturday, could make his second start in two nights as Carey Price is nursing a lower-body injury. Andrew Shaw hopes for a repeat performance against his former team after registering his eighth career two-goal effort versus the Jets. Jonathan Drouin (10) and defenseman Shea Weber (11) joined Brendan Gallagher (11) as the only members of the team to reach double digits in points with one and two assists, respectively, on Saturday.

ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS (7-5-2): Crawford, who leads the league in shutouts (two), goals-against average (1.75) and save percentage (.945), has allowed fewer than two goals in seven of his 12 appearances this season. Brandon Saad leads the team with six goals despite entering Sunday with an eight-game drought and also tops the club with four game-winning tallies. Patrick Kane leads the Blackhawks in scoring with 14 points despite failing to record a power-play goal in the early season.

OVERTIME

1. The Blackhawks look to complete a sweep of the season series after posting a 3-1 victory at Montreal on Oct. 10.

2. Gallagher has collected three goals and three assists during his four-game point streak.

3. Chicago C Artem Anisimov is riding a four-game goal-scoring streak during which he also has notched an assist.

Preview: Devils at FlamesGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

The surprising New Jersey Devils look to finish their first extended road trip of the season with a winning record when they visit the Calgary Flames on Sunday. The Devils got an outstanding performance from Cory Schneider en route to a 2-0 win at Vancouver that opened the trek before suffering their first road loss of the campaign on Friday - a 6-3 setback at Edmonton.

“Our record (9-3-0), we’ve got to be proud of that and take confidence in that,” New Jersey left wing Taylor Hall told reporters. “At the same time, we were 9-3-3 last year and finished in 27th place (overall in the NHL). We’ve got a lot to learn and a lot to improve on. If you look at the last two games, we were outshot, outplayed. We’ve got to figure it out quickly and get healthy at the same time.” The Devils are without Kyle Palmieri (foot) while fellow forward Marcus Johansson (concussion) is not expected to play against the Flames, who have won their last two contests. Calgary has not scored more than two goals in seven straight games, but stellar play from Mike Smith helped earn them three victories in that stretch. Johnny Gaudreau recorded a point in 10 of his first 13 games for the Flames and has recorded a team-high 16 overall, including an assist in the 2-1 overtime win over Pittsburgh on Thursday.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, MSG Plus (New Jersey), Sportsnet 360 (Calgary)

ABOUT THE DEVILS (9-3-0): Hall has risen to the top of the scoring list for New Jersey with 16 points after posting three goals and four assists in his last four contests while Brian Gibbons has scored a team-high six goals. Rookie Jesper Bratt is warming up as well with two goals and three assists in his last four games to reach 11 points, putting him third on the team behind Hall and rookie defenseman Will Butcher (12). Johansson (five points in 10 games) sat out Friday after suffering the injury two days earlier in Vancouver while Palmieri, who has notched seven points in as many games, did not make the trip.

ABOUT THE FLAMES (7-6-0): Smith, who owns a 7-5-0 record and .936 save percentage, played in 12 of Calgary’s first 13 games and has won three of his last four after a brilliant performance against the Penguins on Thursday. “That was one of the best goalie performances I’ve seen in a long time,” coach Glen Gulutzan told reporters. “It gives you confidence going into any building. … When you know you have a goalie like that, and you’re sitting on the bench playing, there is a sense of assurance that you’ve got a guy in there that’s battling every night.” Sean Monahan has registered 11 points to join Gaudreau in double figures.

OVERTIME

1. Flames RW Jaromir Jagr has missed five games with a lower-body injury and is not expected to return Sunday.

2. New Jersey backup G Keith Kinkaid (3-1-0, .910 save percentage) is expected to get the start against the Flames.

3. Calgary has won seven of the last nine meetings, but the Devils posted a 2-1 road victory in January.

Preview: Hawks at CavaliersGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

The Cleveland Cavaliers just needed LeBron James to play like the best player on the planet again in order to snap a four-game skid. Having done just that, James will try to follow up his 11th career 50-point outing and lead the Cavaliers to back-to-back wins when they host the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.

James exploded for 57 points on 23-of-34 shooting and added team highs of 11 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two blocks in Friday's 130-122 win at Washington while dominating smaller defenders in the post. "I've been working quite a bit on my turnarounds and my fadeaways and my foot work, things of that nature, and I was able to get to it," James told reporters. "Once I fade, I don't really see the defender as much, and I'm just focusing on the target." The Hawks should represent a soft target as they come in on an eight-game losing streak. Atlanta is trying to figure out life after the departures of Paul Millsap, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Dwight Howard and is struggling to find anyone to help Dennis Schroder cover the scoring loss.

TV: 3 p.m. ET, FS Southeast (Atlanta), FS Ohio (Cleveland)

ABOUT THE HAWKS (1-8): Kent Bazemore led Atlanta with 18 points in Friday's 119-104 loss to Houston but he is struggling to find any consistency and is shooting 37 percent from the floor on the season, including 26.7 percent from beyond the arc. Small forward Taurean Prince is another candidate to lend some support to Schroder and is averaging 17.3 points in the last four games. A bright spot off the bench is rookie center John Collins, who hauled in 12 rebounds in Friday's setback and is averaging 10.6 points and 7.8 boards in 20.3 minutes.

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (4-5): James (32 years, 308 days) became the youngest player in NBA history to reach 29,000 points during Friday's performance and needed to play 43 minutes to keep his team from suffering a fifth consecutive setback. "He knew how important this was for us, after losing four in a row," Cleveland guard Dwyane Wade told reporters. "He put us on his back, and everyone chipped in." James' performance helped the Cavaliers overcome another poor defensive performance in which they allowed the Wizards to shoot 53.6 percent from the floor - the fourth straight game in which they allowed an opponent to shoot better than 47 percent from the floor.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Cavaliers C Tristan Thompson (calf) sat out Friday and will miss the next month.

2. Hawks G Malcolm Delaney (ankle) sat out Friday and is day-to-day.

3. Atlanta took three of the four meetings last season, including both games at Cleveland.

Preview: Heat at ClippersGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

The Los Angeles Clippers entered last weekend as the league's last undefeated team, but their fortunes have taken a swift turn for the worse since then. The Clippers wrap up their five-game homestand with the second half of a back-to-back as they host the Miami Heat on Sunday afternoon.

Despite a season-high 30 points from Blake Griffin, Los Angeles fell to 1-3 during the stretch at Staples Center with Saturday's 113-104 setback against Memphis. The Clippers entered the game ranked seventh in the NBA in 3-point accuracy at 39.1 percent, but they finished 4-of-26 from beyond the arc and watched the Grizzlies' bench outscore their reserves 55-22. The Heat are 0-3 against Western Conference opponents, although one of those defeats came in overtime against Minnesota and another was Friday's 95-94 loss in Denver, as Dion Waiters' last-second 3-point attempt rimmed out. Miami made 11 of its first 12 shots and converted 65 percent from the floor in the first half but continued its trend of blowing leads by shooting only 30 percent in the second half.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, FSN Sun (Miami), Prime Ticket (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE HEAT (3-5): Turnovers continue to plague Miami, which committed 22 against the Nuggets and has recorded at least 19 giveaways four times already this season. Hassan Whiteside, who missed five games with a bone bruise in his left knee that he suffered in the season opener before making his return two games ago, has logged no more than 26 minutes in either contest as the team attempts to ease him back into the mix. Goran Dragic has been extremely efficient since going 6-of-19 from the floor in the opener, connecting on at least half of his field-goal attempts in all but two of the following seven games - a span during which he is shooting at a 52.8-percent rate.

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (5-3): Patrick Beverley entered Saturday shooting 51.4 percent from long range but went 1-of-8 from beyond the arc as no Clipper made more than one 3-pointer versus the Grizzlies, while Danilo Gallinari went 0-of-4 and is shooting 27.1 percent from 3-point territory for the season. Griffin went 1-of-3 from long distance to keep his season-long streak of making at least one 3-pointer intact, but Saturday marked the first time this campaign he failed to connect on at least two attempts - ending the longest such streak of his career. DeAndre Jordan continues to lead the league in rebounding (14.6) despite posting his three lowest totals of the season over his last three contests.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Dragic has scored in double figures in a career-high 54 consecutive games, nearly double his previous high of 29.

2. Jordan averaged 18.5 boards as the Clippers swept their two-game season series with the Heat last season.

3. Miami G Tyler Johnson has converted all 20 of his free-throw attempts, which is four shy of tying the team record to start a season set in 2015-16 by Dwyane Wade.

Preview: Celtics at MagicGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

Even a dismal first-half showing on the road cannot slow down the Boston Celtics, who look to extend their seven-game winning streak when they visit the Orlando Magic on Sunday. The Celtics fell behind by 18 points at the break at Oklahoma City on Friday - shooting 31 percent - before storming back on the shoulders of guard Kyrie Irving to steal a 101-94 victory.

"We battled," Irving told reporters after scoring 22 of his 25 points in the second half. "We took away some things they were feeling comfortable with in the first half, picked up our pace and our defensive pressure and things started going our way, and then we just kept battling to the end." Boston's seven-game run has given the squad the best record in the NBA, and not one opponent has scored more than 94 points during the streak. The Magic figure to offer up a test for the Celtics and enter this meeting as the top 3-point shooting team in the league (42.1 percent), although they finally laid an egg in that department in Friday's 105-83 home loss to Chicago. Orlando was 10-for-35 from beyond the arc and only managed three made free throws in losing at home for the first time this season.

TV: 6 p.m. ET, NBCS Boston, FS Florida (Orlando)

ABOUT THE CELTICS (7-2): Coach Brad Stevens is sensing his players taking responsibility for their actions and making some of the adjustments on their own, as they did Friday, which led to both Irving and Al Horford going off for 13 points in the fourth quarter. "I am really happy as you walk into the locker room at halftime and they’re talking about it," Stevens told reporters. "They know that they’re not playing at the level that we need to play at to beat a team like this." Jaylen Brown chipped in 10 points and 12 rebounds for his first career double-double and Marcus Morris (knee) made his season debut a solid one, producing nine points and four rebounds in 18 minutes.

ABOUT THE MAGIC (6-3): Orlando scored at least 113 points in its first seven games before dipping to 101 in a hard-fought win at Memphis on Wednesday and then bottoming out versus the Bulls, with hamstring injuries to point guards Elfrid Payton and D.J. Augustin catching up to the team on the offensive end. "Yeah, it's a factor," Magic coach Frank Vogel told the media when asked about the injuries. "It hurts your rhythm a little bit but it's not an excuse." The high-scoring trio of Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic combined for 46 points - more than 15 below their collective average - and their teammates shot 33 percent.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Irving scored at least 20 points in seven straight games and he has just two turnovers in 91 minutes over the last three contests.

2. Fournier is shooting 59.8 percent over a six-game span.

3. Boston won four straight meetings, including a 117-87 rout in its last visit to Orlando.

Preview: Wizards at RaptorsGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

The Washington Wizards allowed LeBron James to score 57 points on Friday and still had a chance to win before suffering a fourth loss in the last five games. The Toronto Raptors, who host the Wizards on Sunday, have a pair of guards capable of putting up huge point totals in DeMar DeRozen and Kyle Lowry and are happy to be home after a six-game road trip.

Washington allowed the Cavaliers to shoot 56.1 percent from the floor on Friday after letting the Phoenix Suns shoot close to 50 percent in a 112-116 setback on Wednesday. “We were scoring; that wasn’t the problem,” Wizards point guard John Wall told reporters after Friday's setback. "They were getting easy layups, three-point plays and wide-open threes, and it was bad communication. … To score as many points as we have, those are supposed to be games that you can win." DeRozan is enjoying a strong season for the Raptors and will put some pressure on that suspect Washington defense after breaking out for a season-high 37 points while Lowry collected 15 points and 10 assists. “There’s a lot of times where we need them to be who they are: a dynamic, one-on-one player in DeMar DeRozan and an attacking point guard in Kyle Lowry," coach Dwane Casey told reporters.

TV: 6 p.m. ET, Sportsnet 4 (Toronto), NBCS Washington

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (4-4): Washington's bright spot in the last two games is shooting guard Bradley Beal, who is averaging 38 points while shooting 24-of-44 from the field. The 24-year-old is 21-of-24 from the free-throw line during that span but struggled when it was his turn to guard James on Friday and was not happy about giving up that many points. "We were upset about that," Beal told the Washington Post. "It kind of came down to the first team that plays defense was going to win the game, ultimately. ... We can’t give up 40 in a quarter. That’s two games in a row now that we’ve done that. That's unacceptable for sure."

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (5-3): Lowry's offense is coming along slowly this season, but he broke a five-game streak of shooting worse than 50 percent from the floor by going 6-of-11 on Friday, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. The All-Star point guard, who put up a career-high 22.4 points last season, is averaging just 13.1 points on 39.2 percent shooting in the early going. Lowry is shooting 91.7 percent from the free-throw line but did not attempt a free throw in either of the last two games and hoisted a total of four in the last four contests.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Wall suffered a shoulder sprain in Friday's loss, but x-rays came back negative and he is day-to-day.

2. Raptors SF CJ Miles sat out Friday's game due to an illness and is day-to-day.

3. Toronto took two of the three meetings last season, with the lone loss coming at home, 105-96, on March 1.

Preview: Jazz at RocketsGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

The Houston Rockets are steamrolling through opponents on the road but they haven't tasted victory at home since Oct. 21, a scenario they'll try to end Sunday against the Utah Jazz. The Rockets improved to a league-best 6-1 on the road with a 119-104 victory at Atlanta on Friday, with James Harden scoring 21 of his 29 points in the first half.

Houston has played only three games in the Toyota Center this season and dropped its last two, with the only home win coming against NBA-worst Dallas two weeks ago. The Jazz have had virtually the opposite experience thus far, racing to a 5-1 home mark but entering this meeting as one of just two Western Conference teams - along with the Mavericks - without a road victory. Their hot start in Salt Lake City came to an end with a 109-100 loss to Toronto on Friday, which also stands as Utah's worst defensive scoring performance of the season. "Well, it wasn't the best defensive effort. That's got to be there for us," coach Quin Snyder told reporters. "A lot of individual breakdowns where guys were getting beat put us in some compromising positions and they were able to score. We're not going to win if we don't play defense better than that."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Utah), AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston)

ABOUT THE JAZZ (5-4): A bright spot in Friday's loss was the continued solid play of rookie guard Donovan Mitchell, who had 25 points after scoring 28 in his previous game, although he recognizes there are other important stat lines. "Tonight I had zero assists and I'm not happy about that at all," Mitchell told reporters. "I'm not worried about how many points I scored. I didn't find any of my open teammates." Rodney Hood chipped in 17 points but is just 6-for-30 from the floor over his last two outings.

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (7-3): Houston jacked up 146 3-pointers over the last three games and is beginning to make a few more after some early accuracy issues, with Harden hitting six of the team's 16 against Atlanta. "We haven't been shooting the 3-ball that great all year," said Eric Gordon, who scored 20 points. "Once we start shooting the 3-ball, we're always going to be an attack team where we're attacking the basket, but when we start making 3s, we're going to be really hard to stop." Veteran Luc Mbah a Moute scored in double digits in one of his first five games but did so in four of the next five, including a season-high 20 versus Atlanta.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Utah won the final two of three meetings a season ago and shot 53.5 percent across the three contests.

2. Rockets C Clint Capela leads the NBA in field-goal percentage (69 percent) and Jazz C Rudy Gobert ranks third (64.9).

3. Jazz PG Ricky Rubio is averaging 8.7 assists in three road games, compared to 4.8 at home.

Preview: Suns at SpursGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

The San Antonio Spurs snapped a four-game slide on Friday by finding ways to create offense with their second unit. The Spurs will try to maintain that balanced attack when they continue a six-game homestand by hosting the Phoenix Suns on Sunday.

San Antonio started the season with four straight wins by leaning on LaMarcus Aldridge to do the bulk of the scoring and dropped four in a row when teams began refusing to let Aldridge beat them. The Charlotte Hornets tried to do the same thing on Friday and limited Aldridge to 14 points on 4-of-12 shooting, but the Spurs put four scorers in double figures off the bench, led by 22 points from shooting guard Bryn Forbes. The Suns are winners of four of six since firing coach Earl Watson but are coming off a loss at New York on Friday in which small forward T.J. Warren was injured. The 24-year-old suffered a head injury in a collision with New York center Enes Kanter and will continue to be evaluated.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Arizona (Phoenix), FS Southwest (San Antonio)

ABOUT THE SUNS (4-5): Phoenix is finishing up a five-game trip at San Antonio and could use Warren, who scored 40 points on 16-of-22 shooting in a win at Washington on Wednesday and averaged 24.8 points in the four games prior to Friday. Warren's absence opened more playing time for rookie forward Josh Jackson, who scored 13 points while making a season-high five field goals. The Suns' surge from the bottom is due in large part to guard Devin Booker, who scored 34 points on 10-of-19 shooting and is averaging 30.5 points over the last four games.

ABOUT THE SPURS (5-4): Forbes went 8-of-11 from the floor, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range, to come within four points of matching his total from the first eight games. The Michigan State product was 5-of-18 from the floor in the first six games, including sitting out the opener, but started to come out of the slump at Boston on Monday and is 14-of-21 over the last three contests. San Antonio also got 20 points on 8-of-15 shooting off the bench on Friday from veteran Rudy Gay, who is struggling to fill the void left by Kawhi Leonard (quad).

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Spurs SG Manu Ginobili is shooting 19.2 percent from 3-point range.

2. Suns C Tyson Chandler recorded his first double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds on Wednesday.

3. Phoenix snapped a nine-game losing streak in the series with a 108-105 win in Mexico City on Jan. 14.

Preview: Pacers at KnicksGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

Kristaps Porzingis is making the most of his opportunities at Madison Square Garden and the 7-3 star will try for another quality home effort when he leads the New York Knicks into a Sunday night matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The 22-year-old Porzingis scored 37 points in Friday's 120-107 home win over Phoenix, chipping in seven rebounds, three blocks and a steal in 31 minutes.

"Porzingis is special. He has a chance to be the best player in this league," Suns center Tyson Chandler told reporters. "Watching him tonight and seeing what he's done so far this season, he has a real shot of being the best player in this league." Porzingis has certainly fit the bill at home, averaging 31.4 points on 52.7 percent shooting in five games, compared to 25 points on 40.9 on the road. The Pacers had their three-game winning streak snapped Friday with a 121-110 setback in Philadelphia, falling to 2-3 on the road. Victor Oladipo scored 31 points in the loss and is averaging 26 points on 52.9 percent over a seven-game stretch.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FS Indiana, MSG (New York)

ABOUT THE PACERS (5-4): Center Myles Turner returned from a concussion that robbed him of seven games and showed some sluggishness in Friday's loss, shooting 4-for-14 in 24 minutes. "He was a little rusty, he had to play more minutes than we probably would've liked," coach Nate McMillan said. "(Domantas) Sabonis got in foul trouble, so we had to play Myles a few more minutes. He missed a few shots he usually knocks down, and just timing. But it was good to get him back out there." Turner had a double-double in three of the four meetings with the Knicks last season while averaging 18.3 points and 10 rebounds.
ABOUT THE KNICKS (4-4): Enes Kanter continues to provide the most consistent support for Porzingis with eight straight double-digit scoring efforts out of the gate, including four double-doubles. The latest came in a 16-point, 15-rebound performance versus Phoenix, which was also the eighth consecutive game in which the veteran big man made at least half of his shot attempts. Kanter entered Friday fourth in the NBA in field-goal percentage at 63.6 percent.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Knicks SG Tim Hardaway Jr. is averaging 22.8 points over a four-game hot stretch.

2. Pacers PF T.J. Leaf (ankle) is day-to-day.

3. New York won three of four meetings last season, including the two at Madison Square Garden.

Preview: Hornets at TimberwolvesGracenote
Nov 5, 2017

The Minnesota Timberwolves were expected to be much improved this season, and it took less than a month for them to give their fans a reason to believe this year may be different from any in recent memory. The Timberwolves set their sights on their first five-game winning streak since 2008-09 on Sunday, when they complete a back-to-back set at home against the Charlotte Hornets.

Karl-Anthony Towns bounced back from a foul-plagued, career-low two-point effort in Wednesday's win at New Orleans with a 31-point, 12-rebound performance in Saturday's 112-99 victory over Dallas, as Minnesota recorded a season-high 33 assists en route to its largest margin of victory this season. "It's just one of many, and hopefully four (in a row) will seem like a little bit to us. It'll seem something like we're having a bad season if we're only getting four in a row at some point," Towns told reporters. The Hornets fell just short of posting their own four-game winning streak last time out, dropping a 108-101 decision on Friday in San Antonio to begin a four-game road trip. Charlotte split its season series with Minnesota last campaign but has won eight of the last 10 meetings overall.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FSN Southeast (Charlotte), FSN North (Minnesota)

ABOUT THE HORNETS (5-4): Jeremy Lamb (18.1 points) has emerged as a capable sidekick to fellow Connecticut product Kemba Walker (team-high 23.3), scoring at least 15 points in each game after doing so only 11 times last season. Dwight Howard (14.8 points, 14.3 rebounds) appears to have turned back the clock, posting seven double-doubles thus far to run his career total to 673 - the most among active players - and his 128 rebounds are the most by any Hornet through nine games in franchise history. Dwayne Bacon drew his fourth start of the season Friday while Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) sat out and finished with a career-high 18 points, registering the highest point total for a Hornet rookie since Kidd-Gilchrist tallied 21 in 2013.

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (6-3): Andrew Wiggins (19.9 points) has reached the 20-point plateau in six games thus far, but Saturday's 9-for-14 effort from the field marked the first time during the winning streak he shot over 43 percent. Jeff Teague posted the third double-double in his last four outings with 11 points and 10 assists in Saturday's victory, and the 29-year-old Wake Forest product ranks seventh in the NBA in assists (eight per game) and 13th in steals (1.9) after recording nine thefts over his last two games. Nemanja Bjelica has nailed at least one 3-pointer in every game thus far and leads the league in 3-point accuracy (62.5 percent) after going 2-of-2 from long range against the Mavericks.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Timberwolves have attempted more free throws than their opponent in all nine games.

2. Walker has made at least 10 free throws in three of his nine contests this season - a feat he achieved only 14 times over his first 443 career games.

3. This weekend will be the only time this season Minnesota will play home games on consecutive nights.

Preview: Thunder at Trail BlazersGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

The Oklahoma City Thunder looked like they had figured out how to blend their superstars on both ends of the court in a pair of easy wins on the road, but a home loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday showed that there is still work to be done. The Thunder will try to bounce back and earn their third win in four games when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.

Oklahoma City had Boston on the ropes before squandering an 18-point lead in the 101-94 loss, but they appeared unconcerned after the game. "It's good to struggle now, this is our first year together," Thunder forward Paul George told reporters. "This is a long run, we'll be fine. We're starting to shoot it well, we're starting to find some rhythm. We're starting to figure out how to attack and be aggressive. ... we'll be totally fine." The Trail Blazers dropped two straight and needed a late 3-pointer from Damian Lillard on Thursday to escape with a 113-110 home win over the Los Angeles Lakers. “It’s good to get a close game win," Portland head coach Terry Stotts told reporters. “We need that, especially on the heels of not only last night but some of the other games. Dame’s shot was huge. He really carried us in the second half."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FS Oklahoma, NBCS Northwest (Portland)

ABOUT THE THUNDER (4-4): Blending George, Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony was going to result in some ups and downs, and Oklahoma City rode that roller coaster with a great first half on Friday followed by a terrible second half. “We took the foot off the gas a little bit,” Anthony told reporters after the contest. “We didn’t put a full game together tonight." Anthony went 1-of-12 from the field in the second half and finished with a season-low 10 points - the second straight game he failed to score at least 20 points after hitting the mark in each of the first six contests.

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (5-4): Portland has been searching for an inside scorer to compliment Lillard and CJ McCollum in the backcourt since LaMarcus Aldridge left, and center Jusuf Nurkic is trying to prove he can be that compliment. Nurkic scored 28 points on 12-of-20 shooting in Thursday's win and is averaging 15 points and 7.8 rebounds. "His offense was really good as far as finishing around the basket," Stotts told reporters of Nurkic after Thursday's win. "I thought our guards did a nice job of finding him on the rolls, on pick and rolls, the passes that they made to him in the lane made his job easier. ... It was good for him to have a night like that where he was finishing around the basket."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Trail Blazers PF Al-Farouq Aminu (ankle) sat out Friday and will likely miss the next two-to-three weeks.

2. Anthony grabbed a season-high 14 rebounds on Friday to record his second double-double.

3. Portland took three of the last four and five of seven in the series.

Preview: Grizzlies at LakersGracenote
Nov 4, 2017

The Memphis Grizzlies attempt to complete a Staples Center sweep when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. After dropping the final two contests on their four-game homestand, the Grizzlies opened a five-game road trip Saturday with an impressive 113-104 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Mike Conley returned from a one-game layoff due to an Achilles issue to score a team-high 22 points as Memphis placed seven players in double figures in its best offensive effort of the season. "Any time you can get multiple guys in double figures, it means the ball's moving, everybody's in rhythm, people are being unselfish," Grizzlies coach David Fizdale told reporters. The Lakers opened a two-game stay at Staples Center with a 124-112 win over Brooklyn on Friday. Rookie Kyle Kuzma made his first career start as Larry Nance Jr. is out with a broken hand and responded with 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting and 13 rebounds.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, FSN Southeast (Memphis), Spectrum SportsNet (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (6-3): Fizdale shook up the starting lineup Saturday by benching guard Andrew Harrison in favor of rookie Dillon Brooks, who was just 1-of-8 from the floor. "I wanted to see something different," Fizdale told reporters. "As the head coach, I've got to be willing to take those steps. I've got to do it with thought and patience. Not that Dillon played any better tonight. He was struggling because he was pressing. Either way, we came out with a win. We'll look at this for a few games." A by-product of the move was a phenomenal effort from the bench, which saw four players combine for 55 points - including Tyreke Evans, who scored 20 one game after netting 32 in a loss to Orlando.

ABOUT THE LAKERS (4-5): While Kuzma extended the stellar start to his rookie campaign, veteran big man Brook Lopez continued his turnaround after a sluggish opening to his career in Los Angeles. The 29-year-old was shooting 38.2 percent through his first seven contests - scoring in single digits in four of them - before breaking out for 27 points at Portland on Thursday and then producing a season-high 32 against the Nets, his former team. "Typical. I felt comfortable out there," Lopez told reporters after hitting 6-of-9 3-pointers. "It was another game to me. Honestly, it wasn't (awkward) at all."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Los Angeles rookie PG Lonzo Ball is shooting 30.8 percent after going 3-of-15 versus Brooklyn, but he has recorded 14 assists against one turnover in his last three games.

2. Grizzlies PF Jarell Martin has scored four points on 1-of-8 shooting in 53 minutes over a three-game stretch.

3. The Lakers won both meetings in Los Angeles last season.
