ANALYSIS: I would make the Bengals -7.5 home favorites against the Rams in primetime if Joe Burrow is healthy. With a limited Joe Burrow, I would still make the line -5 against this version of the Rams. Cincinnati should have success with Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd in this matchup. Burrow is clearly important, but there's some overreaction on both sides after the Bengals started 0-2 and the Rams played well against Seattle. It's also worth noting that Puka Nacua is dealing with an oblique injury ahead of this road game.

ANALYSIS: The wrong team is favored in this one. The lookahead line here was Clemson -4, and it moved nearly a full touchdown based on FSU beating LSU and Clemson losing to Duke. If you followed here, you already know I bet on FSU against an overrated LSU team. Florida State is playing back-to-back road games with early start times. Clemson has the better defense and a significant home-field advantage. Look for Clemson to control the clock with a ton of success on the ground with Will Shipley and Phil Mafah, both of whom are averaging over 6.3 yards per carry already this season. Florida State will spend a lot of time on defense in this game. Take the home underdog.

ANALYSIS: Tonight, there is a strong pitching matchup at Wrigley Field with Mitch Keller facing off against Justin Steele in a friendly pitching environment. Keller possesses a great fastball, consistently hitting 95+ MPH, along with a .264 xwOBA and very low average exit velocity. Steele, on the other hand, is poised to finish as a top 3 Cy Young candidate in the National League. His best pitch is his slider, which has an impressively low .236 xwOBA this season. This game holds immense importance for the Cubs' chances at reaching the postseason, and success hinges on run prevention. I'll place a small bet on the Under.

ANALYSIS: The 49ers are the best team in the NFL right now, in my power ratings, and it's largely because of the defensive side of the ball. I expect the 49ers to run the ball more against this Giants defense and operate a more conservative game plan on the short week. Brandon Aiyuk is questionable after being limited in practice on Tuesday. The Giants offense is down Saquon Barkley and will struggle to score against the top defense on a short week on a road back-to-back. 45 gets us through a few pretty key numbers in this matchup. I make the total 41.5

ANALYSIS: Two questionable offenses and solid defenses typically make you look under in a primetime division game, but this one has dropped too low and gone through some very key numbers. I had 42.5 as the appropriate opening number, where I still leaned over. Now we're through the two most significant numbers in the NFL (41 and 40). The Browns will have success on the ground, and there will be turnovers creating short fields. I'm on the over.
