EARLY SUNDAY GAMES

San Francisco 49’ers(-5.5) @ Atlanta Falcons Even with the potential sidelining of DE Nick Bosa, the Niner’s are too much for the Falcons. Atlanta has a feisty group of players, but will come up short 30-26.

New England Patriots @ Cleveland Browns(-3) The Patriots are stingy on run defense, and Browns RB Nick Chubb will be kept under 100 yards. The Browns are giving up 5.3 yds per carry, Pat’s RB Rhamondre Stevenson will fuel the UPSET 23-19.

NY Jets @ Green Bay Packers(-7) The Jets are on a high after beating the Dolphins, while the Packers are nursing their wounds after losing to the Giants in England. Packers QB Aaron Rogers is out for vengeance and will take the victory 35-27.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Indianapolis Colts(-2.5) After shutting out the Colts in Week 2, the Jag’s will carry too much confidence. Jaguar QB Trevor Lawrence has a penchant for turning over the ball, Colts capitalize to win this one 28-26.

Minnesota Vikings(-3) @ Miami Dolphins Miami QB Skylar Thompson gets his 1st NFL start this week, with star WR’s Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Minnesota has been squeaking out wins, this week their luck runs out, UPSET Dolphins 28-26.

Cincinnati Bengals(-2) @ New Orleans Saints The Bengals are off to a rough start with 3 losses, but only by a FG or less. The Bengals defense is solid, whereas the Saints are weak against the run. Cincy RB Joe Mixon leads his team to a 25-21 win.

Baltimore Ravens(-5) @ NY Giants Exceeding expectation seems to be the Giants’ theme so far this season. The Ravens may be defensively weak, but the Giants won’t be able to contain QB Lamar Jackson. @TheBrysh takes Ravens over Giants 30-26.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers(-8.5) @ Pittsburgh Steelers Tampa QB Tom Brady faces off with Steelers QB Kenny Pickett on Sunday. Pittsburgh has already given up 11 passing TD’s this season. Brady’s Bucc’s picks the Steelers secondary apart 30-19.

LATE SUNDAY GAMES

Carolina Panthers @ LA Rams(-10.5) How do you turn around a horrid season start? Fire your head coach! Let’s see how that turns out, especially facing the defending Super Bowl Champion Rams. The Panthers may beat the spread, but will lose 25-18.

Arizona Cardinals(-2.5) @ Seattle Seahawks Depending on the outcome of the MLB, this game may be delayed…who cares? With 2 poor defenses, critics call for a 51 point shootout. @TheBrysh confirms this with an UPSET win, Seahawks 23-22.

Buffalo Bills(-2.5) @ Kansas City Chiefs Deja Vu, it’s the AFC final from last year, only this year with a different outcome. Buffalo has the #1 offense in the NFL, KC is #2, wait for the fireworks in this one. Take the Bills to beat the spread 34-28.

Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles(-4.5) @TheBrysh says this is the game of the week, you don’t want to miss it! The Cowboys defense has only allowed only 5 TD’s in 5 games, the Eagles come in undefeated. The Eagles continue their streak 32-30.

MONDAY NIGHT GAME

Denver Broncos @ LA Chargers(-5) The Broncos are only averaging 15 points per game, Chargers PPG is 24. Denver has key players injured and a QB that hasn’t found his groove yet. Not the most exciting Monday Night game, go with Chargers 27-24.
