The Bucs refuse to run the ball frequently and leaning on their pass protection and Tom Brady’s arm has been a recipe for disaster thus far. The Bengals’ offensive line has improved a lot lately, so give me Cincinnati to win and cover. Cincy is 5-0 ATS in its last five games overall and 10-2 ATS in its previous 12 outings on the road, while Tampa is 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 contests overall and 1-6-1 ATS in its previous eight showings at Raymond James Stadium. Now the Bucs are dealing with a couple of key injuries on defense, as it looks like both Vita Vea and Jamel Dean will miss this one. The loss of Vea is a huge blow to their run defense and great news for Joe Mixon. Without those two guys, I don’t see how they’ll be able to slow down the Bengals’ offense enough to keep up. Just last week they let Purdy average 8.8 yards per attempt on them. The Bucs are 4-7 in their last 11, and all four of those wins were close games against struggling teams. They haven’t won a game by more than six points since September 18th. Lay the points with the Bengals here.
My Bet Bengals’ -3 buying hook & Money Line -$195 Double Press
Patriots' defense is the key in this one. The Raiders usually rely on offense to win games but have cooled down, recording only 302 total yards and 16 points against the Rams last week. Derek Carr has not been efficient, throwing a whopping four interceptions in his last three games which is not ideal considering the Pats are third in the NFL with 13 interceptions. Plus, rushing leader Josh Jacobs is questionable. The Pats stand 9th in the NFL against the pass and will contain Derek Carr and Davante Adams. As +1.5 point underdogs on the road, the Patriots have compiled a 4-3 record on the road and should have the slight edge due to Bill Belichick’s ability to exploit weaknesses so easily. Unfortunately for McDaniels and the Raiders, getting vengeance will ultimately come up short. The Patriots are a solid bet to win this game going away, so covering one point should not be a problem. Look for the Raiders to struggle vs a tough Patriots defense. For the season, they are allowing just 201 yards per game through the air. For this matchup, I also recommend taking the Patriots on the moneyline.
My Bet Patriots +2 & Money Line +$110
Titans have lost four of their last six games and two of their last three road games. They aren’t playing well offensively and they were held under 20 points in two of their last three games. They are one of the worst passing teams in the league and their running game isn’t as potent as it has been in recent years. The Chargers aren’t great defensively, but they played well in their last three games, holding opponents under 23 points per game. With the Titans unlikely to burn them through the air, expect them to stack the box and keep Tennessee’s offense in check. The Chargers won two of their last three games and they played well offensively during the stretch. They don’t run the ball well, but they have the third-best passing offense in the league.
For the Titans, Derrick Henry needs to get back on track after averaging less then 4 yards per carry in each of the last 4 games. The Chargers and their last ranked run defense will be a matchup the Titans and Henry will look to exploit. If they can do so, this game could remain close, and the Titans could get back on the winning side. If Henry continues to struggle, the Chargers will pass all over the Titans and send them to a 4th straight loss. The Titans have struggled against the pass and gave up more than 330 passing yards per game in their last three games. They usually do a good job keeping opponents out of the end zone, but they struggled in their last three games, giving up more than 30 points per game, and will have a hard time slowing down the Chargers, so go with Los Angeles to cover the spread.
