Ravens vs. Titans [In London] (SPREAD: BAL -4)
"I love the Ravens -4. You know I love favorites when the number is four. Baltimore is 3-2 this year and both losses are by one possession. Has anyone seen Lamar Jackson? He was the highest-grade quarterback last week against the Steelers this season according to PFF. Their offense is third in Big Plays. Lamar Jackson is having a hell of a season, his receivers can't catch. That won't last forever. Since acquiring Roquan Smith from the Bears -- and nobody liked that move -- they're top 1, 2, or 3 in virtually everything. This is a really good football team that massively outplayed Pittsburgh, and I only have to give up four against a Titans offense who has the 28th ranked offensive line, Ryan Tannehill is having a horrible year, they're banged up at wide receiver, and they've lost six straight roadies. I'm going to swallow the four, Ravens win 27-21."
Colin's prediction: Ravens 27, Titans 21
Colin's pick: Baltimore -4
Seahawks at Bengals (SPREAD: CIN -2.5)
“I love this one, I'm taking the Bengals -2.5. Joe Burrow is finally healthy, season-high completion percentage last week at 78%. Burrow in the last two seasons has been awful in September. If you look at the rest of season numbers he's the second-best quarterback in the league to Patrick Mahomes. The Seahawks have benefited, they win against the Giants and the Panthers, TERRIBLE teams. Their o-line is injury-ravaged and it's 30th according to PFF. They have the third-worst third down defense in the league. They're struggling to get people off the field. Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase are gonna eat. The market doesn't realize that the Bengals are really good, and they'll learn it after this week. 26-20 over Seattle."
Colin's prediction: Bengals 26, Seahawks 20.
Colin's pick: Cincinnati -2.5
Vikings at Bears (SPREAD: MIN -3)
“Bears +3. Lousy, rainy, windy weather favors the run-team, and no NFL team is more pass-dependent than Minnesota... and Justin Jefferson is out. Justin Fields the last two games has looked pretty spicy, 67% completion percentage and connecting with DJ Moore. The last two weeks, Justin Fields: passing yards per game, passer rating, big plays, he's been truly terrific. The Vikings are a sloppy mess, they lead the NFL with 12 giveaways, worst turnover-differential. They're the most pass-dominant team in the league and it's going to be windy and wet weather. Justin Jefferson is out, Jordan Addison is hurt, and I believe in the locker room the Jefferson injury waives the white flag. The Bears are inspired, at home, feeling good about themselves, and think they can get into the playoffs and beat Green Bay and maybe Detroit. Bears win it, take the points, 24-21."
Colin's prediction: Bears 24, Vikings 21
Colin's pick: Chicago +3
Saints at Texans (SPREAD: NO -1.5)
“I don't get this line, I'm taking the Saints -1.5. Derek Carr the last three games has a 100 passer rating and no picks. But the defense is the story here, Dennis Allen is an excellent defensive coach: top 5 in scoring defense, total defense, and pass defense. By the way, passer rating allowed by the Saints this year, 66, best in the NFL. For the Texans, Tank Dell is out, a very talented receiver. We love CJ Stroud, but folks, these rookie quarterbacks always regress at some point. Now everybody has got film on CJ. No quarterback in league history has ever started with no picks through their first six games. I like CJ Stroud, he's a hit, but we gotta be realistic. Nobody had film, nobody knows what he can't do. Saints win on the road 24-20, swallow the points."
Colin's prediction: Saints 24, Texans 20
Colin's pick: New Orleans -1.5
Cowboys at Chargers (SPREAD: DAL -2.5)
“I'll take the Chargers +2.5. They're getting healthy, here comes Austin Ekeler, he's back. Where the Chargers have struggled is 4th and 1, 3rd and 3. THAT'S Austin Ekeler. The o-line is fine, Herbert is great, Keenan Allen is going to be a Hall of Famer potentially, but they are not good in short yardage, and now they will be. The Cowboys' three wins are against the Giants, Jets, and Patriots. WE TOLD YOU that the Trevon Diggs injury would change the defense. With him they allowed 193 yards a game; without him they allowed 358. The last 20 teams to face the Niners are 1-19 the following week. Chargers win it 28-24."
Colin's prediction: Chargers 28, Cowboys 24
Colin's pick: Los Angeles +2.5
