Play:
Total Under 43.0 (-110)
This matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings has all the makings of a low-scoring, defensive battle, especially with both teams dealing with uncertainty at quarterback. The Seahawks’ offense depends heavily on Geno Smith, who is nursing a knee injury. If Smith plays, he’ll likely be less mobile against the Vikings’ blitz-heavy defense, which could limit Seattle’s ability to make big plays. If Sam Howell steps in, things get even tougher. Howell struggles under pressure, and Minnesota leads the NFL in blitz rate. Combine that with Seattle’s weak running game, and the Seahawks will have trouble sustaining drives.
On the other side, Minnesota’s offense hasn’t been clicking as smoothly either. Quarterback Sam Darnold is inconsistent, and his passes were off-target against the Bears. Seattle’s defense matches up well against the Vikings' run game and receivers, but they struggle against tight ends. Minnesota’s offense isn’t built to light up the scoreboard, especially with their own offensive line issues since losing star tackle Christian Darrisaw. Expect a lot of stalled drives and punts in this one.
With both teams leaning on their defenses and lacking explosive offensive production, the Under 43 looks like the safest bet. The Vikings’ aggressive blitzing will slow down Seattle’s already shaky offense, while Minnesota’s own struggles, combined with Seattle’s pass rush, will limit their scoring opportunities.

Total Under 39.5 (-110)
This matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Las Vegas Raiders looks like a slow, low-scoring game from start to finish. Both teams have serious offensive issues, and neither inspires much confidence when they have the ball. For the Raiders, we don’t even know if Aidan O’Connell will play, which means Desmond Ridder might start again. Ridder was dreadful last week, barely connecting with his receivers and struggling against a bad Atlanta defense. The Jaguars’ run defense is weak, but Las Vegas’ ground game isn’t strong enough to take advantage, making it even harder for them to score.
The Jaguars haven’t been much better offensively, even with Mac Jones looking slightly improved last week. Jones still made plenty of mistakes and is working with very few weapons outside of Brian Thomas Jr. Jacksonville has also struggled to finish drives, ranking near the bottom of the league in scoring and overall production. Even against a weak Raiders defense, don’t expect Jacksonville to light up the scoreboard. Add in the fact that both teams have nothing to play for, and this game could turn into a field position battle with punts stacking up.
With both offenses struggling to move the ball and lacking explosive playmakers, the Under 39.5 is the safest bet here. The Raiders' quarterback uncertainty, combined with Jacksonville’s inefficiency, points to a slow-paced, grind-it-out game where neither team will find much success.

San Francisco 49ers +1.0 (-110)
This game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins is a clash of two teams trying to find consistency. The 49ers have struggled this year with injuries and shaky performances. However, with an extended rest, there’s a good chance Williams returns, which is massive for their offense. A healthy offensive line will help Brock Purdy settle in and take advantage of Miami’s weak defense against tight ends, opening up opportunities for George Kittle to make big plays.
On the other side, Miami’s offense has been hit or miss, largely because of their banged-up offensive line. Without both starting tackles, Tua Tagovailoa struggles under pressure, and the 49ers’ pass rush will exploit this weakness. San Francisco’s defense has been solid recently, holding opponents to just 25 points combined in their last two games. Miami’s run game has been quiet most of the year, so if their line isn’t healthy, they’ll have trouble keeping Tua upright or finding balance on offense.
The 49ers might be out of playoff contention, but they still have something to prove, and a rested, healthier roster puts them in a good spot here. Miami has beaten bad teams this season, but the 49ers are not a pushover, especially if Williams returns. Combine San Francisco’s defensive strength with their ability to attack Miami’s weak spots, and 49ers +1 is the best bet for this game. Expect a gritty, lower-scoring game where the 49ers come out on top.
