We are past the halfway point of the season and the action keeps rolling with a big Sunday slate of 12 games this week as teams start to look ahead to the playoffs. Odds powered by PointsBet. Keep up with Live odds here.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Dallas Cowboys (-8.5) Total: 54.5
After a poor start to the season the Falcons have won three of their last four games. Atlanta is now 4-4 ATS on the season as well as 3-1 ATS and on the Money Line on the road. I think Dallas will win a shootout but the Falcons will cover the spread. My official play on the game will be on Over. Edge: Over 54.5
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Indianapolis Colts (-10) Total:47.5
Since the 2018 season the Indianapolis Colts are 2-4 ATS vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars. Urban Meyer‘s crew has struggled this season but they have won two of their last three games. Edge: Jaguars +10
Cleveland Browns vs. New England Patriots (-2.5) Total: 45
This game opened with the Patriots as a 2.5 point favorite but it was quickly bet down to a pick’em. The news of Nick Chubb possibly being out moved the Patriots back up to a 2.5 point favorite. If Chubb is a go, I’m rolling with the Browns. If not, I’m on the Patriots. Edge: Browns +2.5
Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets (+11) Total: 47.5
The Bills have suffered back-to-back road losses and this week they play their third road game in the past four weeks. I don’t trust backing the Jets on the spread, but I’m not laying the points with Buffalo. The Bills are 5-3 to the Under on the season. Edge: Under 47.5

Detroit Lions vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (-8) Total: 42.5
The Steelers put their four-game winning streak on the line this week when they host the winless Lions. Even though the Steelers are on a four game winning streak they are only 3-5 ATS on the season, while the Lions have been alternating ATS wins and losses every week. This is the week they win ATS. Edge: Lions +8
New Orleans Saints vs. Tennessee Titans (-3) Total: 44
The Saints, just like the Lions, have alternated ATS wins this season. This would also be the week the Saints are due for an ATS win. The Titans are the top seed in the AFC at the moment and riding a five-game winning streak. PointsBet opened this game up with the Titans as a 3-point favorite. Over 60% of the tickets and handle are backing the Titans, yet the number is moving toward the Saints. New Orleans is 3-1 straight up on the road this season. Edge: Saints +3
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Washington Football Team (+9) Total: 51
The Washington Football Team has lost five of their last six games. So far this season they are 1-7 ATS and there is no reason to start backing them now. Edge: Buccaneers -9
Carolina Panthers vs. Arizona Cardinals (-10.5) Total 44
The Cardinals host the Panthers this week in Arizona. At 8-1, the Cardinals have the best record in the NFL but Kyler Murray could miss his second straight game this week. Panthers backup quarterback P.J. Walker is expected to get the start this week. This will more than likely be a low-scoring game. Edge: Under 44
Minnesota Vikings vs. Los Angeles Chargers (-3) Total: 53
The Vikings will try to avoid their third straight loss this week when they travel to L.A. to face the Chargers. The Chargers have over 80% of the tickets and the handle backing them. In a game like this that’s tough to handicap. I’d rather be on the side of the house. Edge: Vikings +3
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Denver Broncos (-2.5) Total: 45.5
The Eagles are losers of three of their last four games, yet PointsBet is reporting 77% of the handle is backing the Eagles in this game. This is the perfect spot to fade a trendy Underdog. Edge: Broncos -2.5
Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers (-3.5) Total: 49
Both the Seahawks and Packers are expected to have their franchise quarterback back under center this week. In each of the last three meetings between these teams the favorite has covered and won. Edge: Packers -3.5
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders (+2.5) Total: 52
Back in the spring, the look-ahead line for this game had the Chiefs as 7.5-point road favorites. That is nowhere near the case at this point of the season. Kansas City is 2-7 ATS on the season and those two ATS wins happened to come on the road. It will be interesting to see if there will be any game day line movement on this number. Edge: Chiefs -2.5
