ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Chiefs/Patriots game has been scheduled for Monday at 7:05 ET on CBS and the Falcons/Packers kickoff time has been pushed back to 8:50 ET.
The Chiefs and Patriots have both turned in a full set of negative COVID-19 tests as of Sunday morning. That bodes well for the two teams to square off on Monday night.
NFL: Dallas Cowboys TT Un30.5 @ 1.909/-110 (3.5 Units)
-Points are being scored in rapidfire all season long in the NFL, and the numbers are starting to reflect that. However, the Cowboys numbers are a bit skewed to me. They scored a combined 79 vs the Falcons and 69 vs the Seahawks.. but those defenses are worse than the Browns. Both of those teams have subpar pass rushes. They rank 25th & 29th in sack% while the Browns are 14th. Rams are ranked 15th.. Myles Garrett will pose as much of a threat to them as Aaron Donald did -- whos defense held this same Cowboys team to a measly 17 points in week 1. Number is high, it's the best pass rush they've seen since Week 1.. selling high here and fading an inflated number with good reason behind it.
Adding on to this.. the Browns HOPEFULLY use their run game and control game here as they should.. I think Stefanski is starting to pick up on that and that generally = clock running.. love this play
NFL: Miami Dolphins +6 @ 1.833/-120 (3 Units)
-While the average joe keeps buying up the Seahawks I'll continue the approach of staying contrarian.. and we got a spot here. Going into the season I've said how the Cardinals and Dolphins are the two teams that will be substantially better than most people expect and it's been true so far. While the Dolphins may be 1-2 and their only win vs the Jags.. they've had quality showings vs the Pats and Bills, both top 10 teams in the league.
As for the Seahawks, their defense is BAD. I'd even put it bottom 10 in the NFL and to make things worse they'll be without Jamal Adams here. They've pretty much allowed people to score at will and that helps a relatively mediocre offense in the Dolphins. While it might be minor, the fans in Miami gives them SOME edge and the Seahawks have to travel cross country in what would be a 10am game for their west coast body clocks.
Van Noy + Lawson is the best LB/DE combo Wilson has faced so far this year, and while he's very elusive and the MVP frontrunner so far.. he can be contained to some extent. The Seahawks may very well beat the piss out ouf the Dolphins here but catching 6 at home vs a BAD defense that's without Jamal Adams.. Phins keep it close IMO
NFL: Tampa Bay Buccaneers -7 @ 1.87/-115 (2 Units)
-Tampa has gotten better game by game as expected with Brady getting more game reps in and this is another step in what could very well be their division at this point since the Saints are an unknown entity until Thomas returns. They have a top 10 defense and they can punish the Chargers badly here. Chargers have injuries across their OLine and Mike Williams is also out. Their only remaining weapon here is Keenan Allen and Todd Bowles should be able to neutralize him here with a rookie QB in Herbert starting again.
On the flip side, while the Bucs have a pretty weak OLine themselves.. they're still healthy and they don't have to worry about Melvin Ingram as he's been put on IR. They now have the ability to double up on Bosa and buy Brady time in the pocket to sustain drives. Even without Godwin I think the Bucs win this game handily with another cross country team here travels to Tampa.. horrible spot for the Chargers who are riddled with injuries.
