🔮 They’re both rated pretty much even in terms of DVOA, coming in at No. 17 in DVOA (No. 11 on offense, No. 25 on defense), while the Packers are No. 18 (No. 23 on offense and No. 4 on defense). So no, Micah Parsons is not active, but that really isn’t stopping them. Had Josh Jacobs not returned for the Packers, I’d be all in on the Over, and likely would have had some bets targeting the Over on both Christian Watson and Matthew Golden’s receiving yards. I’m still bullish on them overall, but Jacobs’ return allows Green Bay the option to run the ball much more.

🔮 This line seems to imply that Jayden Daniels will be active for the Commanders, but there’s really nothing that points to that being the case. Add-in the fact that Marcus Mariota was also declared out at halftime of Sunday’s game in London and Washington may really be down to a third-string quarterback when they face the division rival Giants. Mariota is out with an MCL sprain, while Daniels hasn’t practiced since he injured his elbow earlier in the season.

This line seems to imply that Jayden Daniels will be active for the Commanders, but there’s really nothing that points to that being the case. Add-in the fact that Marcus Mariota was also declared out at halftime of Sunday’s game in London and Washington may really be down to a third-string quarterback when they face the division rival Giants. Mariota is out with an MCL sprain, while Daniels hasn’t practiced since he injured his elbow earlier in the season. uncertain

Kaliakmanis → think → land

This game is a bet you may be thrilled to have wagered on, on Monday, as later in the week you could see Big Blue favored. uncertain

it → target → +3.5

we → read → line

Buffalo is coming off a disappointing loss to the Patriots last week but we’re betting this number with the hook in mind. asserted

we → come → mind
