4-Unit Play. Take #455 Tennessee (-4.5) over Buffalo (1 p.m., Monday, Oct. 7)
I will gladly bet against Buffalo. This is the worst team in the NFL right now. Tennessee is red hot. They have won three straight games. That includes wins over the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles and the AFC runners up, Jacksonville. The Titans should be able to take advantage of this bad Buffalo team and rookie quarterback Josh Allen. The Titans are 4-1 ATS in their last five games against the Bills and the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in this series. The Titans are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games overall. Buffalo is going to continue to struggle. Take the Titans.
8-Unit Play. Take #451 Baltimore (-3) over Cleveland (1 p.m., Monday, Oct. 7)
This play is from my NFL 411 System.
I love the Ravens in this game. This team dominated Pittsburgh on the road last week. That game was not as close as the final score looked like. The Ravens have outgained all four of their opponents and they look like one of the top teams in the AFC right now. Baltimore's defense is No. 2 in total yards allowed and is in the Top 5 in passing defense, rushing defense, and points allowed. This it he toughest defense that rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield has faced. Mayfield had four turnovers last week against the Raiders. That game was a tough loss for the Browns and this team can't stop blowing games. They blew chances at wins against the Steelers, Saints and Raiders and are now 1-37-1 in their last 39 games! The Ravens are 5-0 ATS in the last five games in this series and they are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Baltimore is 4-0 ATS in its last four games in Cleveland. The Ravens are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 divisional games. Cleveland is 16-35 ATS in their last 51 games and 6-17 ATS in their last 23 home games. The Browns are 10-22 ATS in their last 32 games against the AFC and just 5-16 ATS in their last 21 divisional games. Cleveland has gotten better. But the Ravens are still much better than the Browns and I think that they will dominate the young team and its rookie quarterback. Go with Baltimore here.
3-Unit Play. Take #459 Denver (+1) over New York Jets (1 p.m., Monday, Oct. 7)
I like the Broncos in this one. They were very close to beating the Chiefs on Monday night. They showed that they are one of the better teams in the AFC. Denver beat the Jets 23-0 last year and they are 5-1 SU and ATS in the last six meetings in this series. The Jets have been terrible since their opening week win at Detroit. They are 0-3 SU and ATS and have been outscored 72-41. The Jets are 1-4 ATS in their last five games and 0-4 ATS in their last four games against AFC opponents. The Jets are struggling behind their rookie quarterback and a very good Denver defense should be able to shut this team down. I had Denver at -2 in this game so there is value here. Play the Broncos.
3-Unit Play. Take #470 San Francisco (-4) over Arizona (4 p.m., Monday, Oct. 7)
The 49ers almost pulled a big upset at Los Angeles last week. I think they will take care of business against the winless Cardinals. Arizona had a great chance to get its first win of the season last week against Seattle. But they missed a 45-yard field goal in the final minutes and then watched the Seahawks hit a 52-yard field goal on the final play. San Francisco has lost six straight games to the Cardinals. They will want revenge. The Cardinals have been terrible on the road, going 2-7 ATS in their last nine games away from home. San Francisco is 4-1 ATS against teams with a losing record and they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine divisional games. This is rookie quarterback Josh Rosen's first road start. I think the 49ers defense will take advantage of some of his mistakes and that will lead to a big win for the home team.
5-Unit Play. Take #472 Philadelphia (-3) over Minnesota (4 p.m., Monday, Oct. 7)
This play is from my NFL 411 System.
Philadelphia has dominated this series. That includes a 38-7 blowout win over the Vikings last year in the NFC Championship Game. The Eagles have won two straight and seven of the last nine meetings. This team is coming off a tough overtime loss last week in Tennessee. But they should have won that game after blowing a 17-3 lead. I don' think that will be the case here at home. Minnesota is winless in its last three games. That includes a blowout home loss to Buffalo, the worst team in the league. They also tied Green Bay and lost to the Rams last Thursday. They should struggle here against the defending champions. Philadelphia is 5-2 ATS in their last seven games after a loss and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Eagles are 13-5 ATS in their last eight conference games. The home team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings between these two teams and Philadelphia is 5-1 ATS the last six times they have hosted the Vikings. I think the Eagles will get another hard fought win in this series and the Vikings will continue to sink. Take Philadelphia.
6-Unit Play. Take #477 Washington (+6.5) over New Orleans (8 p.m., Monday, Oct. 8)
I like the underdog in this one. I am calling for the upset here. Washington is coming off its bye week. They have had two weeks to prepare for this game. I think they will have a strong game plan. The Saints have won three straight games. But one of the wins came in overtime and the other was by just three points at home against the Browns. Washington always plays the Saints tough. They are 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings in New Orleans and 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings overall. The Saints defense has been struggling. They are No. 24 in total yards and No. 29 in points allowed giving up 30.2 points per game. Washington's defense is No. 3 in total yards and No. 2 in points allowed. They have been tough all year. Washington is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 games against teams with a winning record and they are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against teams from the NFC. The Saints are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games on Monday Night Football. New Orleans is also just 1-4 ATS in its last five home games. Take the points in this game.

7-Unit Play. Take #451 Baltimore (-3) over Cleveland (1 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 7)
The Browns played much, much better than we anticipated against the Raiders last weekend, but we don't see them playing at that level versus the Ravens. Yes, the Browns are better than they have been in quite some time, but this Ravens team is slowly becoming one of the better teams in the AFC. The Ravens only loss this season was at Cincinnati, which is definitely not an easy place to win. The Ravens have destroyed the Bills and beaten both the Broncos and the Steelers by double-figures. The Browns will absolutely put up a fight for their home crowd, but in the end, they just aren't good enough to beat the Ravens. Also keep in mind that the road team is 12-4-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings between these two teams. Cleveland has done an outstanding job creating turnovers but thus far this season Joe Flacco has only turned the ball over three times (2 INTs and 1 fumble lost). Look for Baltimore to put a ton of pressure on Baker Mayfield creating a few easy turnovers and quick scores. This game is going to be a "knock you in the face" type game but in the end the Ravens win and cover. Baltimore is 4-1-1 ATS in their last six road games and 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games versus the AFC North. Take Baltimore in this one as they are a perfect 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between the two teams. Ravens win 27-16.
4-Unit Play. Take #458 Carolina (-6.5) over New York Giants (1 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 7)
In years past we felt that the Giants always came to play when they were a dog and everyone was counting them out, but that was years past. This Giants team just isn't that good and they get a Panthers team that is rested and ready. The Panthers have been home since Sept. 23rd and they are coming into this game off their bye. The Giants offense struggled to put points on the board versus a Saints defense, that coming into the game, was giving up 34+ points per game. Look for Carolina to control the time of possession in this game and pretty much dominate from start to finish. The Giants are 3-10-2 ATS in their last 15 road games against a team with a winning home record while the Panthers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games and 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a bye. Take the home team here as the Panthers win 23-13.
3-Unit Play. Take #471 Minnesota (+3) over Philadelphia (4:25 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 7)
The Vikings are coming into this game off of two-straight losses. That is quite surprising as this was supposed to be one of the best teams in the NFL. Even though they are 1-2-1 SU we still feel that this is a good football team. Philly hasn't show much to make us believe in them. They are 2-2 SU, and both of their wins have come at home, but one was against the Falcons (a game that the Falcons should have absolutely won) and a four-point win over the Indianapolis Colts. There is no way Vegas could've made a .500 Vikings team a favorite on the road against the reigning Super Bowl Champs, but they should have. Minnesota wins this game outright 24-23.
3-Unit Play. Take #473 L.A. Rams (-7) over Seattle (4:25 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 7)
This is not the Seattle team we are used to. The Seahawks are a home dog and we aren't taking them? That's correct. This Seattle team is nowhere near as good as the Rams. At this point in the season we can argue that the Rams are the best team in the entire NFL. To be honest this line could be double-figures and we would still take L.A. Seattle just cannot protect Russell Wilson. He is going to be running for his life against a Rams defense that is going to be foaming at the mouth to sack him, and sack him again. The Rams are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games while the Seahawks are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. This is just an absolutely brutal matchup for the Seahawks, and in the end the Rams win and cover 27-12. Best of Luck - Strike Point Sports

469 ARI 4.5 (-110) Greek vs 470 SFX
triple-dime bet
Analysis:
No, not without Jimmy Garoppolo can the 49ers lay this many points, especially given their battered condition.
San Francisco is 1-11 in their la‡st 12 games when Garoppolo hasn't been its starting quarterback. C.J. Beathard is back behind center with Garoppolo done for the season. The 49ers also are without tailback Jerick McKinnon and maybe their best offensive lineman as Joe Staley was injured this past Sunday.
The Cardinals are 0-4, the lone remaining winless team in the NFL. They are desperate for a victory. The 49ers haven't defeated the Cardinals since Jim Harbaugh was their coach.
Arizona has improved each week. The Cardinals lost at the gun, 20-17, to the Seahawks this past Sunday and were leading the Bears with under five minutes left two weeks ago before losing, 16-14.
The Cardinals are far more competive with rookie Josh Rosen at quarterback rather than timid Sam Bradford. Rosen played a good game against the Seahawks in his first NFL start. He was 15-of-27 for 180 yards with one touchdown pass and no interceptions. He had completions to seven different receivers. His statistics would have looked better if not for five dropped passes.
Rosen faces a 49ers defense that lacks edge pass rushers and has multiple injuries to their secondary.
