Denver Broncos (+4) over DETROIT LIONS
A battle for the Coach of the Year Award?
The winner of this game will likely be the favorite, and I suspect Sean Payton will come out on top against Dan Campbell.
Denver has played extraordinarily well since its 1-5 start.
The Broncos are allowing the third-fewest yards per play in the NFL over their past three games, just 4.5, behind only the Jets and Patriots.
Their rushing defense has blossomed into one of the best in the NFL, just 3.7 yards per carry.
Even more impressive is they’ve allowed only one receiving touchdown in their past four games.
Jared Goff is playing his worst football of the season. Denver wins this one outright.
Baltimore Ravens (-3) over JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
It’s hard not to be on the Ravens again in this spot.
A not-so-healthy Trevor Lawrence faces the league’s best-passing defense while Lamar Jackson looks to abuse the struggling Jaguars.
Jacksonville is allowing 6.0 yards per play, the fifth-most in the NFL over its past three games.
This is fortified by the worst passing defense — the Jaguars are averaging 301 passing yards allowed per game.
Betting on the NFL?
The Ravens giving up only a field goal seems too good to be true.
However, multiple predictive models, including one created by DVOA inventor Aaron Schatz, have the Ravens as near-touchdown favorites here on the road.
Baltimore could cruise on “Sunday Night Football.”
LAST WEEK: 1-1. Bills (W), Packers (L).
SEASON: 11-15-2.
