C-Unit Play. Take #485 Cincinnati (+3) over Pittsburgh (1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 26)
Ben Roethlisberger is banged up. He is questionable to play in this game. I think that he will play. He has not looked good to start the season and I think he will be less effective with his injured pectoral muscle. Both of Cincinnati's games have been decided by three points and I think that the value is with the underdog here. The Bengals are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games after a loss and they are 22-11 ATS in their last 33 games in September. The Steelers are just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five games as a favorite. Take the points here.
D-Unit Play. Take #469 Arizona (-7) over Jacksonville (1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 26)
Arizona went on the road and blew out Tennessee in their first game. I think they will do the same thing here to the Jaguars. Jacksonville has lost 17 straight games and they are still one of the worst teams in the NFL. They have a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback and it shows with their play. They are 0-2 ATS in their two games and they have been outscored by an average of 13 points per game. The Cardinals are 12-6 ATS in their last 18 road games and this team has early momentum after two straight wins to start the year. The Jaguars are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. They are 1-4 ATS as a home underdog and I like Arizona to keep it going here.
C-Unit Play. Take #478 New England (-3) over New Orleans (1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 26)
AND
B-Unit Play. Take 'Under' 42.0 New Orleans at New England (1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 26)
The Patriots are coming off a blowout win over the Jets last week. They lost in the final minutes in their home opener in Week 1. I don't think that the Patriots will lose a second home game in the month of September. New Orleans looked terrible last week in Carolina in a 26-7 loss. This is New Orleans' third straight road game. They were forced out of their home because of the hurricane and I think that this team is going to be worn down. The Patriots defense has been dominating in its two games, allowing just 23 total points and fewer than 300 yards per game. The Saints offense has been terrible. They are dead last in the NFL in total yards and are averaging just 115.5 passing yards per game. Both teams have gone 'under' in both of their games this year. The 'under' is 5-0 in New Orleans' last five games and the 'under' is 9-1 in New England's last 10 games.
E-Unit Play. Take #472 Tennessee (-5) over Indianapolis (1 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 26)
Indianapolis is going with backup quarterback Jacob Eason in this one. I think that he is going to struggle in his first start. The Titans defense has had to go up against two mobile quarterbacks in Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson. Eason is a pocket passer and I think that the Titans defense is going to have their best game yet. The favorite is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings between these two teams. The Colts are 2-6 ATS in their last eight divisional games and it is going to be hard for them to go on the road with a rookie quarterback and win a game against a divisional rival. Take the Titans here.
D-Unit Play. Take #488 Las Vegas (-4) over Miami (4 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 26)
This Las Vegas team is undervalued. They have won outright as an underdog in back-to-back weeks. I think they will keep it going. The Raiders should have one of the best home field advantages in the NFL this year. They took advantage in an upset win over the Ravens and I think that the home crowd will be a big factor this week. Miami lost starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and are going to backup Jacoby Brissett. It is difficult to win on the road in the NFL with a backup quarterback! These teams played here last year and Miami got the win. I think that the Raiders are going to want to get revenge for that. The Dolphins are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games in September and the road team is just 1-5 ATS in this series. Take Las Vegas here.
F-Unit Play. Take #494 Minnesota (+1.5) over Seattle (4 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 26)
Minnesota is 0-2 on the season. This team needs to get a win and knows that it can't go 0-3 if they want to have a chance to make the playoffs. The Vikings are very close to being 2-0. They have a Top 10 offense and they are scoring nearly 29 points per game. Seattle's defense is ranked No. 30 overall and No. 31 against the run. The Vikings have one of the best running backs in the NFL in Dalvin Cook and one of the best rushing attacks in football. They should be able to move the ball and put up a lot of points against this struggling defense. Seattle is just 1-3 ATS in its last four games overall and 3-6 ATS in their last nine games. The Seahawks are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games and 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a road favorite. Minnesota is 39-17 ATS after a loss and they are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog. The Vikings are playing their first home game of the season and I like them to get their first win here.
