Denver Broncos (10-2) @ Las Vegas Raiders - 4:05PM
Since the Broncos returned from Europe following their Week 6 win, they have not lost. But they have struggled in a few areas. One of the most intriguing is their inability to stop opposing tight ends. In Week 7, they allowed both Daniel Bellinger and Theo Johnson to go for 60+ yards for the Giants. The Cowboys didn’t target their TEs the next week, but Houston’s Dalton Schultz had 70+ the week after that.
Brock Bowers had just one reception for 31 yards in Week 10 against Denver. But that was four days removed from a Herculean 10-reception, 127-yard game, which had been his first game after a month-long injury layoff. The week after, the Broncos allowed Travis Kelce to go for nine receptions (a season-high for him) and 91 yards.
Even after their Week 12 bye week, Denver didn’t fix the issue. Zach Ertz had 10 receptions for 106 yards in prime time last week. Both were by far season-highs for the TE. Bowers, meanwhile, has put up 55+ yards in three straight games since that dud in Denver. He will take advantage this time around. And it’s not even like we’re asking for a crazy number here either.
Best Bet: Brock Bowers Over 59.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Chicago Bears (9-3) @ Green Bay Packers (8-3-1) - 4:25PM
This is one of the most highly anticipated games of the weekend, but we simply can’t bet on the result here. The Packers should not be getting nearly as many points as they are getting here. But we also like them to win straight up, which leaves us in a pickle only Josh Jacobs can get us out of.
Jacobs looked good in his return from a one-game absence last week, rushing 17 times for 83 yards. That was against a pretty decent Lions run defense. This Bears unit is the fifth-worst against the run this year (133.8 per game) and are allowing the second-most yards per rush (5.2). Even just over the last month, Chicago is bottom 10 in rush yards allowed per game and is giving up 5.3 yards a tote.
They shut down Philly last week, but in the weeks before that: Jaylen Warren had 68 and Kenneth Gainwell had 92 for Pittsburgh, Aaron Jones had 70 for Minnesota, and Tyrone Tracy Jr. had 71 for New York. Jacobs is a much better back than all of those guys, and he’s been a lot better at home than on the road this year: he’s averaging 80.8 yards a game at home and just 54.5 in away contests.
Best Bet: Josh Jacobs To Record 70+ Rush Yards (-170)
Los Angeles Rams (9-3) @ Arizona Cardinals (3-9) - 4:25PM
Jacoby Brissett is simply a machine. We bet on him last week, and he passed that test with flying colors. His lowest yardage total in seven games as the starter for the Cardinals is 258. He has hit 300 in four of those games, including the last three straight.
And he’s done this not just against bad defenses, but top 12 passing units like the Packers (No. 6) and Seahawks (No. 11) too. The Rams are only a middle of the pack pass defense. And if they take the lead in this one as we expect them to, it will create more than enough opportunities for Brissett to hit this number. We’re surprised it’s still this low, if we’re being honest.
Best Bet: Jacoby Brissett To Record 250+ Pass Yards (-130)
