Weather: Roof closed during inclimate weather. Seattle has yet to play a complete game. They came close last week with a 437-244 yardage edge against a Washington team missing three starting offensive linemen. The only problem was they lost the game partially due to three miss field goals in the first half. Seattle is 3-0-1 when traveling to Arizona. Arizona is 4-3 and can move into a tie for second in the division with a win, but their four wins have been versus the Colts, 49ers and Buccaneers and they have combined for a record of 5-30 if you count the 49ers twice. In their four losses, they have been outscored by 21 points per game. While my computer calls for a 4 pt win, I'll give the visitor more of an edge.

Weather: Partly Cloudy, High 40's. The situation favors Minnesota as they are fresh off a bye and come into this 6-2 while having covered their last three games. Washington was outgained 437-244 last week in Seattle, but came away with a win. They had to travel back to the East Coast and that was their third tough game in a row after facing Philadelphia and Dallas the previous two weeks. Washington may be off a misleading final, but also allowed a fumble return touchdown with 1:29 left versus the Eagles, had the lateral play touchdown on Monday night vs Kansas City to lose by nine and Dallas got a 21-yard interception return touchdown with :21 left in a 14-point loss. Minnesota is plus 76 yards per game and Washington just plus six yards per game. I find it tough to go versus either team so I'll lean with my computer in this one.Washington 22 - 21
Minnesota 345 - 322

Weather: Mostly Cloudy, showers in the morning, Low 40's. After Green Bay moved to 4-1 with a win over Dallas my thought process was that they were an average to below average football team, but Aaron Rodgers made them a Super Bowl contender. Rodgers got hurt the next week and Green Bay is 0-3 losing by 13, 9 and 13. They trailed Detroit 30-10 last week and were outgained 417-236 until a late drive for a garbage touchdown with :00 left. In Brett Hundley’s two starts they are minus 71 yards below what their opponents usually allow. Chicago has a solid defense and is holding foes to 37 yards per game below their season average. Chicago beat two of the best teams in the NFL in Carolina and Pittsburgh and almost upset Atlanta and Minnesota in their four home games. While Green Bay won the first meeting with Aaron Rodgers’ four touchdown passes, Chicago had a 308-260 yard edge on the road. Chicago is off a bye and Green Bay is on a short week and traveling. With Mitch Trubisky as the starter the Bears are 4-0 ATS. Chicago is great as a home ‘dog at 8-1-1 ATS, but have not been a division home favorite in three years. Even in an unusual role, the Bears are the stronger team and grab the home win.

Phil's Forecast:
Pittsburgh 24 - 15
Pittsburgh By 6 Pittsburgh 23 Indianapolis 17
Weather: Dome. I feel the Steelers are one of the top three teams in the NFL and they have beaten the Colts in each of the last three years by and an average of 24.3 (Andrew Luck missed the previous two). Pittsburgh is plus 77 yards per game and the Colts are minus 89 yards per game with four blowout losses by 37, 28, 14 and 27 versus the only playoff caliber teams they’ve faced. Pittsburgh has 26 sacks by their defense and the Colts have allowed 35 sacks. Despite all those facts and the obvious pick being Pittsburgh, I am going to lean with the double-digit dog. The Steelers have four big games on deck and have actually lost their last three games off a bye. The Steelers have also only won one of their last nine road games by more than a touchdown. The Colts offense is making some strides under Jacoby Brissett and NFL ‘dogs this year of nine points or more are 10-5 ATS.

Jacksonville 367 yards
Weather: Mostly Cloudy, Low 70's. The Jaguars up and down season was interrupted by a bye which absorbed their bad week. They delivered for me last week dominating Cincinnati with a 26-8 first down edge and a 408-148 yard edge. They are 5-3 and plus 86 yards per game. The Chargers opened the season 0-4 with three of their losses by three points or less. They have rebounded to go 3-1 with their only loss coming on the road in New England by eight. Jacksonville is the stronger team and at home, but the Chargers rarely lose by more than a field goal and catch the Jaguars in a down week.

Best Bet: ★ Tampa Bay 23 NY Jets 20Tampa Bay By 3
Weather: Partly Cloudy, Low 80's. Tampa limps into this with five straight losses while the Jets are on a 6-0-1 ATS run since their 0-2 start. At the start of the year Tampa would have been a double-digit favorite and despite being very disappointing and the Jets very surprising, there has been a major correction in the market. Prior to last week’s games Tampa was minus 4.5. They played their last two games with a banged up Jameis Winston and are off a blowout loss on the road to a red-hot Saints team. The Jets were in a solid spot at home and dominated the Bills but are now favored by almost a field goal on the road. A 100 percent Ryan Fitzpatrick is probably a better option than a 75 percent Jameis Winston. While Tampa is just 2-6, they are minus 35 yards per game (the 4-5 Jets are minus 45 yards per game). Tampa at home is plus 22 yards per game going 2-2 with close losses to New England and Carolina (two of the NFL’s best). The Jets are 1-3 on the road with their lone win at Cleveland in a game they were outgained 419-212 (they are minus 156 yards per game on the road). Fitzpatrick is facing his old team from the last two years and I will take the value here despite top target Mike Evans out with suspension.

0.57Tennessee Season Leaders
Weather: Mostly Cloudy, High 50's. Marcus Mariota was injured versus Houston and missed the Miami game. He is still not 100 percent healthy, but should start to become more mobile after just three rush attempts the last two weeks. Last week Tennessee led 23-13 before allowing a touchdown with :46 left which was important to some. The Bengals have covered just one of their last seven as a road ‘dog and this year they have lost by an average of 11.3 points per game in that role. Last week Cincinnati was in Jacksonville and was held to just eight first downs and outgained by 260 yards. The Bengals are minus 102 yards per game on the road and should be outmatched in this one. I'll favor the home squad in this one.

Phil's Forecast:BUF KICKER
Las Vegas LineWeather: Cloudy, Low 40's. The Bills have some solid factors in their favor here. They are 4-0 at home this year with wins over Oakland and Denver and get a warm weather passing dome team outdoors in the cold. Buffalo is 11-4 ATS their last 15 as a home ‘dog and New Orleans has covered just four of their last 14 as an away favorite. I am still going to side with the stronger team laying less than a field goal. Despite their 5-3 record, Buffalo is being outgained by 41 yards per game while only plus 13 yards per game in their undefeated home start. After their 0-2 start, New Orleans is 6-0 (5-1 ATS) and outgaining foes by 130 yards per game in that span while winning by an average of 15 points per game.

Las Vegas LineWeather: Dome. While Cleveland is 0-8 and just 2-6 ATS this year, they are only minus 12 yards per game. They have done a good bulk of their damage late in games when trailing big however so they’re clearly not as good as the stats would indicate. Detroit is 4-4 and back in the hunt for their division despite losing their last three home games. Those losses were to Atlanta, Carolina and Pittsburgh and all were close. Cleveland is allowing 69 percent completions and a 16-6 ratio. The Lions offense averaged just 288 yards per game over their first five games but Matthew Stafford and company have averaged 415 yards per game over the last three. DeShone Kizer is hitting just 52 percent with a 3-11 ratio which doesn’t translate into success here.

Defense
Weather: Mostly Cloudy, Low 70's. Remember when a banged up 0-5 New York Giants team limped into Denver which had beaten Dallas and Oakland at home and were deemed as one of the NFL’s best with the top defense. The Giants won outright 23-10. That is the chance Houston has here. Houston lost their top three defensive players in JJ Watt, Whitney Mercilus and Brian Cushing. They traded LT Duane Brown and lost their star QB Deshaun Watson. In Tom Savage’s two starts they were home favorites versus Jacksonville (week one) and Indianapolis (last week) and lost both outright by 22 and 6 with just 245 yards per game. Their defense allows 390 yards per game on the road. The Rams are 6-2 with the most potent offense in the NFL averaging 32.9 points per game. The Rams have also won their last two games by 33 and 34 points.

GAME GRADES ATL --PS RANK--
Weather: Dome. Dallas is 10-2 on the road with Dak Prescott at QB. Atlanta is suffering through the Super Bowl losers jinx this year and their high-flying offense which averaged 34 points per game last year has averaged just 16.6 points per game over the last five contests. Atlanta is just 5-16 ATS as a home favorite since the midway point of the 2013 season. Atlanta has not only lost four of their last five but Chicago had first and goal and four cracks at the end zone while Detroit had a game-winning touchdown overturned by replay. I have noticed a lot of quarterbacks in the NFL come off MVP caliber seasons and take a big drop the next year. Matt Ryan is the latest. Last year he hit 70% with a 45-7 ratio and this year 66% with a 9-6 ratio. I will take the points and call for the outright upset as the Cowboys try and keep pace with the Eagles in the NFC East without Zeke Elliott.

Weather: Partly Cloudy, Low 70's. Last week I actually liked San Francisco’s chances against Arizona but they lost at home 20-10. They now take on a stumbling and bumbling New York Giants team. The Giants were thought of as playoff team coming into the year and I had Under 4.5 wins for San Francisco in my August NFL report. Last week the Giants were off a bye but had a horrible effort in a 51-17 loss to the Rams with a lot of the national media saying they quit and lacked effort. San Francisco is just 1-23 in their last 24 games and that was a one point win. The last time the Giants got away from their booing home fans they beat Denver on the road. The Giants and 49ers have had eight memorable playoff games through the year but this one features two teams that are a combined 1-16 on the year. San Francisco has scored just ten points in each of their last three games. I can’t give you stats to back it up but I will take the much-maligned Giants to grab the road win.

Weather: Partly Cloudy, High 40's. Brock Osweiler faced New England twice last year and New England won those games by a combined score of 61-16 with Osweiler having a 1-4 ratio. Tom Brady is 0-3 here in playoff games, but they won here last year 16-3. Denver still has an outstanding defense as last week was the first time they allowed more than 300 yards this season. While Osweiler is expected to be back under center again here as Paxton Lynch continues to rehab from a preseason shoulder injury, it is worth mentioning that Denver has covered four of their last five as a home ‘dog.

Weather: Partly Cloudy, Mid 50's. The Dolphins got a late meaningless touchdown and a two-point conversion last week against the Raiders. Miami has averaged 24 points per game at home, but just nine points per game and 246 yards per game on the road. They were shutout by a middle of the road Ravens team 40-0 in their last road contest. Carolina leads the NFL holding opposing offenses to 84 yards per game below their average. Miami averages 76 yards per game below what their opponents usually allow. Hard to imagine Panthers offense scoring a lot, but the Ravens put up 40 despite just 295 yards. Carolina can go all out with a bye on deck and win this by double digits.
