The Lions secondary is beat up and will likely be without their top two corners on Monday. Mayfield has been outstanding, playing himself into the MVP discussion. This is another spot where I expect the former No. 1 overall pick to have a big time performance.

Defense hasn't been a strength of either team here this season. Offensively, both sides have the playmakers and explosiveness to turn this game into a track meet. Back the over here.

Both teams looked destined for the AFC Playoffs. This is a spot where I think this point total is off by 2-3 points. Both quarterbacks are playing well, and both offenses are balanced and explosive. In the end, I expect this point total to finish north of 50 points.

I bet this at -7 early this week, and while the hook here isn't ideal, I also have the Broncos projected to win by 10+ on Sunday. This will be the toughest test yet for Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo, and emotions will be running high in Denver with the Broncos inducting franchise legend Demaryius Thomas into the Ring of Fame and celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their Super Bowl 50 win. Broncos win by double digits here.

Neither team has been outstanding on the offensive side of the ball in 2025, but Cal has shown signs of being explosive behind freshman QB Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele. This is a spot where I expect UNC's struggles to continue. Look for a big offensive game from the Bears, with North Carolina contributing enough to push this total Over.

Carolina is one of the premier defensive teams in the NHL, but Anaheim has the firepower to score enough for this game to reach 7+ goals on Thursday night.

The Steelers' defense hasn't lived up to expectations this season, but they looked much better against the Browns in Week 6. Home teams have a significant advantage on TNF, but the Bengals are a mess right now. Joe Flacco has been with the team for less than two weeks, and Trey Hendrickson has been ruled out for Thursday. In the end, I expect the Steelers to win by 7+.

This is simple: While you have to respect what Indiana is building, Oregon is in another class. The Ducks are right up there with Ohio State and Miami as the clear-cut top teams in college football, and Autzen Stadium gives Oregon one of the premier home field advantages in the country. I would love this line at -6.5, but will still be backing it hard at -7. I expect a double-digit win for Oregon on Saturday.

CU is actually a deeper team than it was last year, the Buffs haven't been able to make up for the loss of their top two players to the NFL -- Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. Iowa State is experienced and has a significant advantage at quarterback where Rocco Becht has been far better than Kaiden Salter this season. I would have set this line closer to -6.5, so this is great value in my opinion.

This pick is less about Illinois and more about Ohio State for me. The Buckeyes have been the best defensive team in the country thus far, and while Illinois is vastly improved, this is a significant mismatch. I like the Buckeyes by 17+ on Saturday.

The Eagles have been inconsistent on the offensive side of the ball this season, but remain one of the NFL's most explosive groups on that side of the ball when things are clicking. Giants QB Jaxson Dart is nursing a hamstring injury, which could limit or take away his ability to make plays with his legs. Philadelphia will be hungry to bounce back from its first loss of the season, and Saquon Barkley is expected to have full availability. I expect a double digit win for the Birds here.

Detroit has won and covered big in three straight. On Monday, we saw a very unmotivated Bengals team get blown out by the Broncos 28-3. I'm not going to overthink this, Detroit should win big on Sunday.

The Rams have played extremely well in the early portion of the season, and the 49ers are the most beat up team in the NFL right now. The Rams one of the better defenses in the league, and their offense is explosive. This would have been an outstanding matchup if the Niners were healthy, but in the end I think this game could potentially get ugly. Rams by 10+.

The last time Higgins faced the Broncos, he caught 11 passes for 130 yards and three TDs. I don't expect him to produce at that level, but with Ja'Marr Chase likely in line to see a heavy dose of Patrick Sustain II, Higgins should see an uptick in targets on MNF.

The Broncos have gotten off to a disappointing start at 1-2, but should have the opportunity to win big on Monday night. The Bengals are obviously without Joe Burrow, and Denver's defense is one of the best units in the league, despite back-to-back subpar outings. The Broncos are tough to beat at home, and I expect this game to be fairly lopsided. Broncos by 10+ on MNF.
