Preview: Jacksonville at Baltimore

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, November 15, 2015
Where: M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, Maryland

The Baltimore Ravens come off their bye week seeking their first winning streak of the season when they host the road-challenged Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Baltimore halted its second three-game slide of the year on Nov. 1 as Justin Tucker booted a 39-yard field goal with three seconds remaining to edge San Diego 29-26.

The Ravens suffered a major loss, however, as veteran Steve Smith's season came to an end due to a torn Achilles tendon. Baltimore has won six consecutive home meetings with Jacksonville, which is looking to end its 13-game road losing streak. The Jaguars, who are 0-4 away from home this season, haven't won on the road since defeating Cleveland on Dec. 1, 2013. Jacksonville will need to do a better job protecting the ball if it hopes to snap the skid, as it has committed 10 turnovers over its last four games.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Ravens -5.5. O/U: 47.5

ABOUT THE JAGUARS (2-6): Jacksonville hopes to have the services of Allen Hurns, who suffered a sprained left foot in last week's loss to the New York Jets. The 24-year-old receiver, who has yet to practice this week, has a touchdown catch in six straight contests. Blake Bortles has thrown at least two scoring passes in a franchise record-tying four consecutive games.

ABOUT THE RAVENS (2-6): Smith, who underwent surgery on Monday, is the second major player to succumb to an Achilles injury this year - joining linebacker Terrell Suggs, who went down against Denver in the season opener. The 36-year-old receiver leads the team in both catches (46) and receiving yards (670). Linebacker Daryl Smith recorded 14 of his team-leading 76 tackles in the victory over the Chargers.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Jaguars need one victory match their total from last season.

2. Baltimore's defense has not forced a turnover in its last five games.

3. Jacksonville QB Blake Bortles is six touchdown passes away from matching David Garrard's franchise record of 23 set in 2010.

PREDICTION: Ravens 27, Jaguars 17

Preview: Minnesota at Oakland

When: 4:05 PM ET, Sunday, November 15, 2015
Where: O.co Coliseum, Oakland, California

The Minnesota Vikings will have Teddy Bridgewater at the helm when they attempt to extend their winning streak to five games against the host Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Bridgewater suffered a concussion in last week's 21-18 overtime victory over St. Louis but was cleared to practice on Wednesday.

With the win, the Vikings pulled even with Green Bay atop the NFC North. Minnesota's sixth-ranked pass defense will be put to the test by Oakland's Derek Carr, who has thrown 11 touchdown passes and only one interception over his last three games. The Raiders have scored at least 34 points in each of those contests but were denied a third straight victory last week in Pittsburgh, where they allowed a last-second field goal after rallying from a 35-21 fourth-quarter deficit to forge a tie. Oakland had its own head-injury scare in Week 9 as Latavius Murray suffered a concussion versus the Steelers, but the AFC's leading rusher returned to practice on Thursday.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Raiders -3. O/U: 44

ABOUT THE VIKINGS (6-2): Linval Joseph was named the NFC's Defensive Player of the Week after recording a career-high 10 tackles, which were the most by a Vikings defensive tackle in 10 years. Joseph joined John Randle (five), Keith Millard and Kevin Williams as the franchise's only defensive tackles to earn the award. Adrian Peterson's next rushing touchdown will be the 91st of his career, which will snap a tie with Hall-of-Famers Eric Dickerson and Curtis Martin for 12th place on the all-time list.

ABOUT THE RAIDERS (4-4): Michael Crabtree has become one of Carr's favorite targets, as the veteran has recorded four of his five touchdown catches this season over the last three weeks. While Oakland has been on a scoring spree, its defense hasn't exactly put forth stellar performances. The team enters Week 10 ranked 30th in total defense after allowing an astounding 597 yards against Pittsburgh.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Peterson, who is 242 yards away from his seventh career 1,000-yard season, is second to Hall-of-Famer Barry Sanders (20) with 17 career TD runs of at least 40 yards.

2. Oakland WR Amari Cooper leads all rookies in receptions (45), receiving yards (653) and touchdown catches (four).

3. Minnesota, which is 1-5 all-time in Oakland, has not visited the Raiders since dropping a 28-18 decision on Nov. 16, 2003.

PREDICTION: Raiders 27, Vikings 23

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

Preview: New England at N.Y. Giants

When: 4:25 PM ET, Sunday, November 15, 2015
Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

The New York Giants denied New England a chance a history in Super Bowl XLII and will try to end another perfect season for the visiting Patriots when the teams meet on Sunday at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. The NFC East-leading Giants have won the past three matchups against New England, including a pair of last-minute victories in the Super Bowl.

"We've always had very, very close games against them even when we've won," said quarterback Tom Brady, who has guided the Patriots to an 8-0 start. "We just haven't won as many of them as I would've liked to have won." New England is averaging a league-high 34.5 points and owns a three-game lead over the New York Jets atop the AFC East. The Giants rebounded from a 52-49 loss in New Orleans with a 32-18 victory at Tampa Bay a week ago in defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul's season debut to maintain a half-game edge over Philadelphia in the NFC East. “They’re undefeated,” Pierre-Paul said of the Patriots, “but they’ve got to come through here first.”

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Patriots -7. O/U: 54.5

ABOUT THE PATRIOTS (8-0): Brady, who came up a yard shy of his sixth 300-yard game in last week's 27-10 win over Washington, has thrown for 22 touchdowns versus only two interceptions and owns a league-best 113.5 passer rating. Wideout Julian Edelman (57 receptions) and tight end Rob Gronkowski (44) each have seven touchdown catches, but New England suffered a costly loss when two-way running back Dion Lewis suffered a season-ending knee injury last week. The Patriots' defense is permitting only 17.9 points per game and is tied with St. Louis for second in the league with 27 sacks.

ABOUT THE GIANTS (5-4): New York's offense has been erratic, with Manning throwing for 213 yards or fewer in four of the last six games but mixing in a monster 441-yard performance and a 350-yard, six-touchdown outing in that span. Odell Beckham Jr. has at least seven catches in six of his nine starts and is coming off back-to-back 100-yard games while ex-Patriot Shane Vereen has 34 receptions out of the backfield. The Giants are looking for Pierre-Paul to provide a jolt for a defense that is last in the league in sacks (9.0) and total yards allowed (422.0) and 31st in passing yards surrendered

EXTRA POINTS

1. Gronkowski has a league-best 61 touchdown receptions since 2010.

2. Beckham Jr. has 19 scoring passes in 21 career games.

3. Giants coach Tom Coughlin is 5-1 lifetime against Patriots counterpart Bill Belichick.

PREDICTION: Patriots 30, Giants 27

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

Preview: Kansas City at Denver

When: 4:25 PM ET, Sunday, November 15, 2015
Where: Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver, Colorado

After coming up short in last week's unofficial homecoming, Peyton Manning looks to help the host Denver Broncos respond to their only loss of the season when they face the AFC West-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Manning threw a pair of costly interceptions in last week's 27-24 setback to Indianapolis and resides one win and three passing yards shy of breaking those NFL records set by Brett Favre (186, 71,838).

Manning enjoyed arguably his best game of the season when he visited Kansas City on Sept. 18, throwing three touchdowns before Bradley Roby scooped up a fumble by Jamaal Charles for the go-ahead score with 27 seconds remaining in a 31-24 win. The victory was the Broncos' seventh straight in the series versus the Chiefs, who have won two in a row before enjoying a bye week. Charcandrick West has provided a spark following the season-ending injury to Charles, amassing 207 yards on the ground with two scores and six receptions in the last two contests. "(Charles) said he’s proud of me," West told reporters on Wednesday. “Coming from him, that’s a great feeling."

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Broncos -6. O/U: 41.5

ABOUT THE CHIEFS (3-5): West wasn't the only member of the team getting it done on the ground as quarterback Alex Smith rushed for 78 yards in Kansas City's 45-10 victory over Detroit in London on Nov. 1. Smith's favorite target has been tight end Travis Kelce, who reeled in six receptions for the third time this season against the Lions. Kelce was limited to just four for 58 yards against Denver earlier in the campaign while Smith was picked off on two occasions.

ABOUT THE BRONCOS (7-1): Denver's top-ranked defense will be without a pair of key cogs as linebacker DeMarcus Ware is plagued by a back injury while cornerback Aqib Talib is serving a one-game suspension for intentionally poking Colts tight end Dwayne Allen in the eye. The Broncos' stagnant rushing game, which is ranked 28th in the league, failed to get untracked versus Indianapolis and mustered just 61 yards on 22 carries in the first meeting with the Chiefs. C.J. Anderson rushed for 27 yards in that contest, but is reportedly fully healed after dealing with several injuries earlier in the season.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Denver WR Emmanuel Sanders is expected to play despite sitting out Thursday's practice with an ankle injury.

2. Kansas City WR Jeremy Maclin has been limited to just three catches in each of the last two games after recording 27 in the previous three.

3. The Broncos have won 11 straight at home in the regular season.

PREDICTION: Broncos 19, Chiefs 16

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

Preview: Arizona at Seattle

When: 8:30 PM ET, Sunday, November 15, 2015
Where: CenturyLink Field, Seattle, Washington

Pete Carroll certainly is no stranger to Carson Palmer, having coached the strong-armed quarterback during his 2002 Heisman Trophy-winning campaign at Southern California. The Seahawks coach didn't have to plan against Palmer last season due to the latter's torn ACL, but will get quite the look on Sunday when the Arizona Cardinals pay a visit to Seattle.

"Carson is playing phenomenal football," Carroll told reporters. "He looks as good as he's ever looked. He's in great command of the offense. I think it's really the best I've ever seen him in all the years he's been out there playing." The 35-year-old Palmer has thrown an NFC-best 20 touchdowns - including four as the Cardinals won their second straight contest with a 34-20 victory over Cleveland on Nov. 1. Like Arizona, the Seahawks have won two in a row heading into last week's bye - and a victory on Sunday would move them within one game of the NFC West-leading Cardinals.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Seahawks -3. O/U: 45

ABOUT THE CARDINALS (6-2): Veteran running back Chris Johnson has found his niche in the desert by rushing for 676 yards, which is 13 more than last season with the New York Jets. The NFL's third-leading rusher, Johnson has scampered for more than 100 yards in back-to-back contests and four of his last six outings while his 4.8 yards per carry is his most since his 2,006-yard season in 2009. Veteran wideout Larry Fitzgerald hauled in nine receptions last week for the second time in 2015, and his seven touchdown catches are second only to Cincinnati tight end Tyler Eifert.

ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (4-4): Although his 3.64 yards per carry this season isn't impressive by any means, Marshawn Lynch rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries in Seattle's 35-6 rout of Arizona on Dec. 21. Russell Wilson rushed for a score and threw for two others in that contest as Seattle amassed a franchise-record 596 yards. Wilson has been held in check for the most part this season, throwing just one touchdown pass in all but one contest while eclipsing 260 passing yards on just one occasion.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Arizona WR John Brown (hamstring) remained limited in practice on Thursday, but expects to play after sitting out versus Cleveland.

2. Seattle TE Jimmy Graham has eclipsed 100 yards receiving in just one game this season.

3. Although his wife is due to give birth next week, Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson told reporters that he would not miss Sunday's game should the stork arrive this weekend.

PREDICTION: Seahawks 20, Cardinals 17

SCOTT SPREITZER

I'm recommending a play on Tampa Bay on Sunday. Dallas is a bit of a popular side this week with folks looking for the Cowboys to snap their losing streak in what will likely be Matt Cassel's final start. But it's the other side of the line of scrimmage where I believe Tampa Bay is going to win this game. Jameis Winston is obviously a rookie. But he has not thrown and INT over the last four games and this week he has prepped for a Cowboys' defense that operates the same style of game plan as does Tampa...and the Dallas secondary can be had. I do expect Winston's familiarity with the defensive style to be the difference in the contest. But it doesn't end there. Philly ran roughshod over the Cowboys on the ground last week and the Buccs have one of the best RBs in the game in Doug Martin. I do believe Martin will find success on the ground, which will help Winston and the passing game. Dallas enters on a 1-5 ATS slide in their last six games, while the Buccs enter on a 7-1 ATS run off a spread loss. I'm recommending a play on the Buccaneers on Sunday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

Betting Essentials - Week 10

Since the Broncos failed to get out of Indianapolis with a win, only three unbeaten teams remain. See how they may fare in this early breakdown of Week 10’s NFL matchups:

Sunday, Nov. 15

Detroit at Green Bay: The Lions come off their bye week after getting smoked by Kansas City in London, so we’ll see how they’ve responded to the time off. Jim Caldwell’s job may hinge on how prepared his team is to play this one, particularly since the Matthew Stafford-led offense has looked so listless behind a brutal offensive line and the defense has given up an average of 37.3 points over the last four games. The Packers have dropped consecutive games and will be thrilled to return home, where Aaron Rodgers hasn’t lost in 12 straight dating back to Dec. 2013. Rodgers has split his last four meetings with the Lions, but Green Bay owns a ridiculous 23-game home winning streak over Detroit, with the last loss coming back in 1991. The Packers have dropped three straight only once since ’09 (Nov. ’13).

Dallas at Tampa Bay: The Cowboys knew it was going to be tough sledding without Tony Romo, but Sunday night’s OT home loss to Philadelphia was their sixth straight without him, which puts them in a must-win situation here. Romo is scheduled to return from a broken collarbone next week against Miami, but a 2-7 record would basically leave no room for error in spite of rough the NFC East has looked to date. Dez Bryant scored his first touchdown since returning on Sunday night and appears set to be the force Matt Cassel needs to deliver a long-awaited victory. Jameis Winston would love to have Vincent Jackson and Austin Sefarian-Jenkins back so teams can’t lock in on top target Mike Evans, but it remains to be seen whether they will be available. The Bucs have only won once in 12 home games under second-year head coach Lovie Smith.

Carolina at Tennessee: Cam Newton continues to get the job done despite elite receiving options and his own inconsistent accuracy, posting truly remarkable productivity. The Panthers are 2-0 as road favorite and have yet to visit a host with a winning record, but do have that impressive win at then 2-3 Seattle to hang their hat on. Coming off high-profile wins over Indianapolis and Green Bay, this would appear to be a potential letdown situation, but the presence of rookie Marcus Mariota coming off a career game should be enough to get this defense’s attention. Tennessee hopes to get Kendall Wright back from a knee sprain after putting up 371 yards through the air in New Orleans without their No. 1 receiver. The Titans are also hoping to see defensive backs Jason McCourty and Blidi Wreh-Wilson return.

Chicago at St. Louis: Coming off a short week due to the Monday night game, the Bears will turn right around and prepare for a road test against a Rams defense that remains one of the NFL’s best. RB Matt Forte missed the MNF game and will be questionable for this contest, which could leave the ground game in the hands of rookie Jeremy Langford and second-year back Ka’Deem Carey. The Rams are riding their own young rusher in rookie Todd Gurley, who is making life easier for Nick Foles and will have to have a big second half to the season if St. Louis is going to challenge for a postseason bid.

New Orleans at Washington: Drew Brees has thrown 10 touchdown passes in the last two weeks, but leaves the friendly confines of the Superdome for a test against a sturdier defense than he’s seen in a while. Brady carved up the ‘Skins in Foxboro, but DeSean Jackson did return to the lineup and TE Jordan Reed managed to come up with a late TD catch. If Pierre Garcon remains productive and the weather cooperates, this has the makings of another shootout. The Saints have been involved in consecutive games that have gone over the posted total and haven’t played a contest that has produced fewer than 45 points all season.

Miami at Philadelphia: Interim head coach Dan Campbell’s immediate impact has run its course and the Dolphins are back to being two game under .500 after being outscored 69-24 in road losses to division rivals New England and Buffalo. Miami is back out on the road for a tough test against the resurgent Eagles, who privately viewed the Sunday night OT win at Dallas as a season-saver. DeMarco Murray and Ryan Matthews are emerging as a competent tandem as Philadelphia managed to persevere in spite of the absence of ailing left tackle Jason Peters (back). Both Peters and LB DeMeco Ryans may return as the Eagles aim to post their first winning record of the season with a victory here. The Dolphins have lost the last three meetings between these teams and haven’t won in Philly since 1993.

Cleveland at Pittsburgh: We’ll see if Josh McCown’s ribs have sufficiently healed enough for him to start at Heinz Field, though there are plenty calling for Johnny Manziel to get his third start of the season after demonstrating signs of improvement in last Thursday’s loss at Cincinnati. Ben Roethlisberger will be out with a foot injury, so Landry Jones will start after leading the Steelers down the field to overcome Oakland on Sunday. Mike Vick’s hamstring ailment may be healed enough for him to be active as the backup, but it will be on Jones to continue feeding Antonio Brown, whose 17-catch, 284-receiving yard performance was the class of Week 9. He’ll duel with star corner Joe Haden, whose back from a bout with a concussion. The Browns snapped a four-game losing streak against the Steelers in their last meeting but haven’t won in Pittsburgh since 2003, losing their last 11. They’re 2-20 in the Steel City since 1990.

Jacksonville at Baltimore: Blake Bortles threw for 381 yards in putting a scare into the Jets and should be licking his chops as he squares off against a Ravens defense that has surrendered 283.9 yards per game through the air, 29th of 32 in the NFL. The Jaguars are 25th in that category, but Joe Flacco is going to need receivers to step up and fill the void of Steve Smith, Sr. Kamar Aiken is first up in the No. 1 role as a cursed season for Baltimore continues with a battle of 2-6 teams.

Minnesota at Oakland: The Raiders don’t have long to dwell on coming up just short against the Steelers, taking the field at home against a Vikings team that has won four consecutive times, the last two coming on Blair Walsh walk-off field goals. Backup Shaun Hill would start if Teddy Bridgewater can’t make it through the NFL’s concussion protocol, though he was optimistic he’d return after being knocked out on the field by a late hit in the second half of Sunday’s win over the Rams. Minnesota is 7-1 ATS, while Oakland has covered in each of the last three weeks. Both are legitimate playoff contenders, which makes this an unexpectedly intriguing contest.

Kansas City at Denver: The Chiefs are 3-5, come off a bye and have recovered from losing star RB Jamaal Charles by rattling off consecutive victories and riding the unheralded Charcandrick West to anchor the ground game. Expect head coach Andy Reid to pull out all the stops given the extra preparation and the need to come out of Mile High with a victory, especially since it was Charles’ fumbles that prevented Kansas City from beating the Broncos in Week 2. Peyton Manning led a dramatic comeback win but will be up against a physical defensive front that will challenge him to protect the ball above all else. Kansas City has lost its last three visits to Denver.

New England at N.Y. Giants: This will be the first meeting between these teams since Super Bowl XLVI back in Feb. 2012, so Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the Patriots have been waiting a long time for revenge from the 21-17 loss they took that day. Since they lost to the Giants earlier that season and also saw their unbeaten run through the ’07 season famously spoiled back in Super Bowl XLII, Brady has beaten this New York team only once in four tries. Both Manning and Brady have their teams atop their divisions, but the Patriots are rightfully a road favorite in their bid to remain perfect.

Arizona at Seattle: Consider this one a must-win for the Seahawks, who will look to move to within a single game of the NFC West-leading Cardinals. A win would get them over .500 (5-4) for the first time in ’15, while a loss would certainly ratchet up the odds that the two-time defending conference champion fails to make the playoffs. Coming off their bye week, the Cards are looking to demonstrate some killer instinct against a team that swept last year’s games by a combined margin of 54-9. Bruce Arians is 1-1 in Seattle, authoring the only win Arizona has managed in Century Link Field in the last five years. The Seahawks are hoping to have left tackle Russell Okung back in the lineup, which would make both teams relatively healthy for this epic Sunday night showdown.

Monday, Nov. 16

Houston at Cincinnati: This wouldn’t be as attractive a matchup if the Bengals weren’t undefeated, but the struggles of the entire AFC South also mean that the Texans could remain right with the Colts in the chase for a division title. Cincinnati won in Houston last season to snap a four-game losing streak in the series and will be counting on Jadeveon Clowney to make more of an impact alongside J.J. Watt after utilizing the bye week to get healthy. The Bengals have opened as a double-digit favorite and have surrendered just 10 points in each of their last two contests.

Jim Feist's Bonus Play for Sunday, Nov 15, 2015

Take: (268) OAKLAND RAIDERS

Reason: Your Bonus Play for Sunday, November 15, 2015 is in the NFL contest between the Minnesota Vikings and Oakland Raiders. Both of these teams are surpassing what was expected of them this season. The Vikings are tied for first place in the NFC North with the Green Bay Packers at 6-2. Minnesota has won four straight games and is 7-0 ATS in their last seven games. The Oakland Raiders are 4-4 overall and in second in the AFC West. Oakland has been very competitive this year with a excellent offense that is ranked 7th in scoring. Good news also for the Raiders as they will have Latavius Murray at RB after having to go through concussion protocols for most of the week. The Minnesota offense isn't great, but it gets things done. They are ranked 23rd in scoring, but 6th in rushing with Adrian Peterson. The defense is very good though, ranked 3rd in scoring and 7th overall in yards. This looks to be an excellent matchup between two teams both having nice comeback seasons. I'm taking the Raiders though as they have the better offense and basically have to just win for us at home. Your Bonus Play is on Oakland.

Essential Week 10 betting notes for NFL Sunday

Giants coach Tom Coughlin is 5-1 lifetime against Patriots counterpart Bill Belichick.

Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers (-10.5, 49.5)

* The Lions haven't won a game in Wisconsin since recording a 21-17 victory on Dec. 15, 1991 and they are 0-4 against the spread in their last four trips to Lambeau Field.

* The previous two times that the Packers have lost back-to-back games with Aaron Rodgers under center (2009, 2020), they bounced back with a win SU and ATS in their next game.


Dallas Cowboys at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-1, 43.5)

* Matt Cassel had his best start since joining Dallas with 299 yards and three touchdowns, but he also committed a huge mistake when he had an interception returned for a touchdown in last week's overtime loss to Philadelphia.

* Raymond James Stadium has been a great venue for Over bettors so far this season, with all four games played there this season cashing over wagers. The Bucs are scoring 23.25 points per game on their home turf, but allowing opponents to score a whopping 35.5 per game.


Carolina Panthers at Tennessee Titans (+4, 44)

* The Over has been hot when the Panthers hit the road, cashing in nine of their last 11 road games. They've only played away from home three times this season with the Over going 2-1.

* Tennessee has lost nine straight home games, its longest skid since relocating from Houston in 1997. The Titans are 3-6 ATS in those games, including a 2-2 ATS mark in four home games this season.


Chicago Bears at St. Louis Rams (-7, 42.5)

* Star running back Matt Forte is questionable to return from an MCL sprain, but Jeremy Langford has filled in admirably racking up 72 rushing yards on 4.0 ypc and 70 receiving yards in last week's 22-19 win over the Chargers.

* Todd Gurley has injected life into a Rams offense that has sputtered in the passing game with quarterback Nick Foles at the helm, as the team has not had more yards passing than rushing since Week 3.


New Orleans Saints at Washington Redskins (-1, 50.5)

* Drew Brees, who was beaten up by the Titans last week and needed stitches in his face following the game, has proven he is far from the end of the line, leading the league by averaging 345 passing yards a game.

* Washington is still alive in the NFC East Division, trailing the Giants by just 1 1/2 games, is 3-1 (2-2 ATS) at home this season and is coming off a 27-10 loss at New England one week ago.


Miami Dolphins at Philadelphia Eagles (-6, 50)

* These two don't play frequently but dating back to 1996, the Dolphins have posted a dismal 0-5 ATS mark in their last five meetings with the Eagles.

* Running backs DeMarco Murray and Ryan Mathews look to exploit one of the league's worst rush defenses. Murray rushed for 83 of his season-high 161 total yards and found the end zone in Philadelphia's 33-27 overtime victory over Dallas last Sunday.


Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers (-6, 41.5)

* The Browns are giving Johnny Manziel first-team snaps in practice this week, but coach Mike Pettine plans to start Josh McCown (ribs) if healthy. "Josh McCown started the season as our No. 1 quarterback," Pettine said. "He's been out due to injury and potentially is coming back. I get the call for, 'Hey, why not (Manziel)?' We're tasked as coaches to put the roster out there that gives us the best hope to win."

* The Steelers have won eight of the last 10 (5-5 ATS) in the series and are 13-3 against the Browns during coach Mike Tomlin’s tenure (7-9 ATS).


Jacksonville Jaguars at Baltimore Ravens (-5, 47.5)

* Thanks to an offense that is starting to score in bunches and a defense that can't stop much of anything, the over has become a hot wager in Jags games. The over has cashed in the previous Jaguars games and is 6-2 on the season.

* Baltimore's defense has not forced a turnover in its last five games and is tied for last (Dallas) in the NFL with four.


Minnesota Vikings at Oakland Raiders (-3, 43.5)

* The Minnesota Vikings will have Teddy Bridgewater at the helm when they attempt to extend their winning streak to five games Sunday. Bridgewater suffered a concussion in last week's 21-18 overtime victory over St. Louis but was cleared to practice on Wednesday.

* Oakland had its own head-injury scare in Week 9 as Latavius Murray suffered a concussion versus the Steelers, but the AFC's leading rusher returned to practice on Thursday.


New England Patriots at New York Giants (+7.5, 54)

* Tom Brady, who came up a yard shy of his sixth 300-yard game in last week's 27-10 win over Washington, has thrown for 22 touchdowns versus only two interceptions and owns a league-best 113.5 passer rating.

* Since Tom Coughlin was named head coach of the New York Giants, the Giants are 3-1 SU but a perfect 4-0 ATS against Bill Belichick and the Patriots.


Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos (-4, 41.5)

* Kansas City head coach Andy Reid is notorious for coming off the bye week strong, posting a 13-1 SU record and 10-4 ATS mark off the bye during his time in Philadelphia, but going 1-1 SU and ATS fresh from a week off in his two seasons with the Chiefs.

* The Broncos are 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS off a loss since Peyton Manning took over at quarterback. Denver has also played Over in seven of those games following a regular season loss. Manning was back at practice Thursday despite a foot injury and is expected to play against Kansas City and avenge the Broncos’ first loss of the season, dropping a 27-24 decision to Indianapolis last Sunday.


Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks (-3, 44.5)

* Arizona WR John Brown (hamstring) remained limited in practice on Thursday, but expects to play after sitting out versus Cleveland. Although his wife is due to give birth next week, Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson told reporters that he would not miss Sunday's game should the stork arrive this weekend.

* Like Arizona, the Seahawks have won two in a row heading into last week's bye - and a victory on Sunday would move them within one game of the NFC West-leading Cardinals.

Sunday Night Football betting preview: Cardinals at Seahawks


Carson Palmer has thrown an NFC-best 20 touchdowns - including four as the Cardinals won their second straight contest with a 34-20 victory over Cleveland on Nov. 1.

Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks (-3, 44.5)

Pete Carroll certainly is no stranger to Carson Palmer, having coached the strong-armed quarterback during his 2002 Heisman Trophy-winning campaign at Southern California. The Seahawks coach didn't have to plan against Palmer last season due to the latter's torn ACL, but will get quite the look on Sunday when the Arizona Cardinals pay a visit to Seattle.

"Carson is playing phenomenal football," Carroll told reporters. "He looks as good as he's ever looked. He's in great command of the offense. I think it's really the best I've ever seen him in all the years he's been out there playing." The 35-year-old Palmer has thrown an NFC-best 20 touchdowns - including four as the Cardinals won their second straight contest with a 34-20 victory over Cleveland on Nov. 1. Like Arizona, the Seahawks have won two in a row heading into last week's bye - and a victory on Sunday would move them within one game of the NFC West-leading Cardinals.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC.

LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Seahawks as 3-point home faves. The total opened at 45 but is down to 44.5.

INJURY REPORT:

Cardinals - WR Larry Fitzgerald (Probable, ankle), C Lyle Sendlein (Questionable, shoulder), WR John Brown (Questionable, hamstring), CB Jerraud Powers (Mid November, hamstring), TE Darren Fells (Mid November, shoulder), LB Alex Okafor (Early November, calf), LB Daryl Washington (Our indefinitely, suspension), LB Kenny Demens (I-R, knee), TE Ifeanyi Momah (I-R, knee), DT Corey Peters (I-R, Achilles), TE Gerald Christian (I-R, knee).

Seahawks - WR Paul Richardson (Questionable, knee), T Russell Okung (Questionable, ankle), TE Luke Wilson (Questionable, undisclosed), G Drew Nowak (Questionable, ankle), WR Ricardo Lockette (Out for season, neck), LB Brock Coyle (I-R, knee), CB Tharold Simon (I-R, toe), CB Jeremy Lane (Probable, knee), DT Jesse Williams (I-R, illness).

WEATHER: A 100 percent chance of rain with temperatures in the low-40s and wind blowing across the field at around six mph.

POWER RANKINGS: Cardinals (-4.5) + Seahawks (-3.0) + home field (-3.0) = Seahawks -1.5

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "Arizona?'s +110 point differential this year ranks second to only New England; well ahead of undefeated teams like Cincy and Carolina, thanks to a trio of wins by 25 points or more. The Seahawks can get back into contention for the NFC West division crown with a win over Seattle on Sunday Night. The Seahawks beat the Cardinals 35-6 and 19-3 last year."

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "We moved to -3 after opening at -3.5 within minutes of opening last Sunday. The action favors the underdog slightly so this should be a good game for us either way. Expecting more Seattle money as kickoff approaches so I doubt we move under -3."

ABOUT THE CARDINALS (6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS, 6-2 O/U): Veteran running back Chris Johnson has found his niche in the desert by rushing for 676 yards, which is 13 more than last season with the New York Jets. The NFL's third-leading rusher, Johnson has scampered for more than 100 yards in back-to-back contests and four of his last six outings while his 4.8 yards per carry is his most since his 2,006-yard season in 2009. Veteran wideout Larry Fitzgerald hauled in nine receptions last week for the second time in 2015, and his seven touchdown catches are second only to Cincinnati tight end Tyler Eifert.

ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (4-4 SU, 2-5-1 ATS, 3-5 O/U): Although his 3.64 yards per carry this season isn't impressive by any means, Marshawn Lynch rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns on just 10 carries in Seattle's 35-6 rout of Arizona on Dec. 21. Russell Wilson rushed for a score and threw for two others in that contest as Seattle amassed a franchise-record 596 yards. Wilson has been held in check for the most part this season, throwing just one touchdown pass in all but one contest while eclipsing 260 passing yards on just one occasion.

TRENDS:

* Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings in Seattle.
* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.
* Over is 6-0 in Cardinals last six vs. NFC.
* Seahawks are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC West.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-four percent of users are backing the Cardinals.
