SURVIVOR
Each week I will pick two games, my “Play it Safe” selection as well as my “Out on a Limb” pick:
Play It Safe (9-2): Dolphins vs. HOU
Kansas City is the biggest spread of the week and an easy pick too, but the Dolphins are my official pick here. A home matchup vs. the Texans coming off a bye week is about as good as it gets.
Out on a Limb (4-7): Commanders vs. ATL
For the second straight week I am listing the Commanders here. It worked last time out vs. Houston and I like them just as much this time vs. Atlanta. Since Taylor Heniecke took over at quarterback Washington has gone 4-1.
THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIALS
Look for my “Against the Spread” plays in a separate article that will run each Saturday this season. Here I will look at my Thursday night betting recommendation.
The Pick:
$110 Vikings -2.5 (-110 DraftKings)
Season total: (6-5 on season; +$70 season total)
I’m leaning both underdogs in the first game, but the night cap is interesting. Minnesota got leveled last week, but that leads to value here. I don’t think they put up a ton of offensive points, but they’ll do enough to win.
Same Game Parlay (DraftKings)
Season total: (+$25)
$20 (+300 DraftKings)
Josh Allen OVER 254.5 PaYd
Stefon Diggs OVER 74.5 ReYd
Jamal Williams Anytime TD
OVER 46.5 total points BUF/DET
