Doug Kezerian - ESPN Chalk Arizona Cardinals -5.5 (vs. Oakland Raiders): This is not a typo. After eight straight games as an underdog, Arizona is a sizable favorite. However, the state of the Raiders calls for such craziness. Oakland is a league-worst 2-7 ATS and 1-8 overall, looking as inept as those records suggest. Jon Gruden's locker room is seemingly a mess, and the only silver lining for the silver and black this season would be the top overall draft pick. Simply, the Raiders cannot afford to squander that opportunity, especially when facing a 2-7 Arizona team. Plus, first-year Cardinals coach Steve Wilks needs more wins for job security.
3-Unit Play. #460. Take New Orleans Saints -8.5 over Philadelphia Eagles (Sunday @ 4:25pm est) (You can find -8 at several books). The Eagles are not impressive and the Super Bowl Hangover is real. The Eagles have beaten no one and the Saints would love to keep sending a message and throttle the Super Bowl Champs here. Remember, the Saints carry with them the #1 offense in the league and at this point, the Eagles look like they could care less (outside of Wentz). The Eagles have beat the Colts, Giants, Jags and the Falcons - basically no one this season. The Saints on the other hand, remember getting beat by 22 points back in 2015 (Ol' Boy Brees and Payton never forget anything) and this sets up for a possible blowout here in New Orleans this weekend.
3-Unit Play. #463. Take Houston Texans -3 over the Washington Redskins (Sunday @ 1pm est) The Redskins gave up 500 yards on defense and the Bucs managed to score just 3 points (only team ever in NFL History to do that). The Bucs could not be worse in countless careless turnovers and the Texans are one of the most disciplined teams in the league and hottest winning 6 in a row after losing 3 straight. The Texans roll up in here with an elite defense, focused and the Redskins are likely to lay a massive egg as they usually do as they are feeling high about themselves after beating a terrible undisciplined team. Texans roll.
