MINNESOTA -3.5
ATLANTA @ MINNESOTA | 10/18 | 1:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 4:02 PM
The Minnesota Vikings are 1-4, but they are much better than the record indicates. The Vikings have won four straight meetings and surely don’t want to be the first team to lose to the Falcons. Atlanta is having all kinds of problems on and off the field, but it begins with the defense that ranks 31st in the league in total yards and passing yards, and is 30th in points allowed per game. Minnesota could easily be 3-2 or 4-1, and after last week’s tough loss at Seattle, the Vikings are going to pound Atlanta here. The Falcons are banged up and look like a team that has already given up.
13-10 IN LAST 23 NFL ATS PICKS | +210
TENNESSEE -3
HOUSTON @ TENNESSEE | 10/18 | 1:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 3:44 PM
The Tennessee Titans have experienced an incredible couple of weeks, and they just mauled the previously undefeated Buffalo Bills. The Titans have the benefit of playing at home on a short week, plus facing the 1-4 Houston Texans isn’t going to hurt. The Texans are really struggling on both sides of the football and recently fired their head coach. Tennessee is a very physical football team with a brutal rushing attack. Derrick Henry is going to feast on a 31st-ranked rush defense that allows 160 yards per game. To make matters worse for Houston, the Texans have the 30th-ranked rushing offense. Ryan Tannehill has nine TDs and one INT.

CLEVELAND @ PITTSBURGH | 10/18 | 1:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 3:16 PM
The Steelers have a very tough task vs. the Browns, who are off to one of their best starts in years. This game should have plenty of scoring. The Over is a combined 7-2, and after watching the Philadelphia offense move the ball at will vs. this Steelers defense, look for the Browns to follow a similar game plan. Cleveland has the number one rushing offense in the NFL and ranks fourth in scoring. The Browns also allow nearly 30 points per game. Cleveland put up 32 points vs. a very good Colts defense last week. The Steelers are averaging just under 30 per contest. Ben Roethlisberger has 10 TDs and one INT.

MIAMI -10
N.Y. JETS @ MIAMI | 10/18 | 4:05 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 2:48 PM
The Dolphins will have to avoid a “letdown” here vs the winless Jets, who rank last in the NFL in scoring at 15 points per game. New York ranks 31st in the NFL in scoring defense, allowing just over 32 per game. The Jets are 0-7 in games not started by Sam Darnold. New York doesn’t have the weapons to move the ball on a consistent basis and the defense can’t get off the field. The Jets are 0-5 ATS this year and 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 vs. AFC opponents. Miami is 6-0 ATS in its last six games in Week 6.

L.A. RAMS -3.5
L.A. RAMS @ SAN FRANCISCO | 10/18 | 8:20 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 2:29 PM
The Rams are off to a 4-1 start, with their only loss being to the Bills by three points. San Francisco is struggling and the team is banged up at several key positions, including QB. The 49ers were hammered at home by the Dolphins last week. They now face a Rams team that is doing a great job spreading the ball around while executing some terrific play-calling. Los Angeles ranks third in scoring defense, allowing just 18 points per game. The Rams are second against the pass. The Los Angeles defensive line should force a critical turnover or two.
