"Dak Prescott missed the victory of Dallas against Minnesota on Sunday night because Cooper Rush intervened and performed admirably. As of now, all signs indicate that Duck will return in the game against Denver this week. , But if he plays. The Cowboys also have the opportunity to look at their opponents and their department, and choose to let Dak rest for another week, because they know they can win the game without him. This is the ideal to bring the Broncos here. Condition.
"But this is not a situation we should rely on. It doesn't matter to me, because I'm on the Broncos either way. Denver is still a good defensive team despite all the flaws on the offensive end. It ranks fourth in the NFL with the number of points allowed per serve and second in success rate. Even with the trade of von Miller, he is no longer as devastating as he used to be. Although the Broncos' offense is not excellent , But the Cowboys’ defense is not great. Yes, it played a lot of big games, but you can’t rely on weekly turnovers to turn into touchdowns, especially if the Denver offense doesn’t take too much risk." - Tom Fornelli on why he likes the Broncos to have a double-digit gap in the Dallas Cowboys.

"Baltimore is about to end the 8th week of the game. After losing to the Bengals in week 7, I had to take a break with a sour taste in my mouth. Before losing to Cincinnati, the Ravens made a comeback in the first three games and scored more than their opponents. 88-38. So far this season, Lamar Jackson and his team have averaged 6.2 yards per game (ranked fourth in the NFL) and seem not to match the Minnesota game, especially in running games . Baltimore ranks fourth in rushing yards per game attempt in the league this season (4.9), and the Vikings’ defense allows it to rank sixth in rushing yards per game. In short, Minnesota-just lost to Cooper Rush and the Cowboys-no horses can keep up with the talent that Baltimore brings on the opposing sideline."

"I like the way the Panthers cleverly deployed Stephen Gilmore in the Kelpitz team last week, and I think they will find his best matchup in the third game of this week's revenge game against the Pates. However, Mike Jones played well, and in almost all situations, I believe the team has better quarterbacks and coaches."-CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones explains why he likes the Patriots in the pass Deal with the Panthers on the way to a three-game winning streak.

“Last week’s game against the Miami Dolphins, the Bills did not perform well because it was a single point game that entered the final quarter. However, Buffalo had an 8-point advantage in the fourth quarter. Leading the Miami team. I think we will see a more complete performance of the Bills on the road because they continue to work hard to become the best team in the NFL.
"Buffalo leads the NFL in both offensive points (32.7) and defensive points (15.6). The Bills tied for first place in the NFL with 18 takeaways, and they dominated the away game. In the last six games he left Buffalo In the game, Josh Allen's record was 5 wins and 1 loss, averaging 37.3 points per game. Last week, Gino Smith beat Rev Lawrence by 24 points. I think Allen can do similar things.
"If it makes you feel more comfortable, buy a full cent, but I will use it as one of my ATS choices."
Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports-his top five picks this season is 24-16 ATS-likes the Bills to lead by 14.5 points against Jacksonville. See who else he likes this week because he continues to be passionate.

"For most of the last month, the Browns' offense did not look good. They need to be successful in running games to score, but the Bengals' defense ranks fifth in yards per sprint. Cincinnati He has the most passes in the league to try against his defense, but ranks 10th in net yards allowed per attempt. The team is throwing a lot of balls against the Bengals, but their defense mostly remains the same. I see It's not like the Browns throw a lot of balls or score here." - RJ White in his 9th week of SuperContest draft.

"The Raiders suddenly abandoned the most reliable WR Henry Ruggs III after being arrested this week. For various reasons, the Giants expect RB Saquon Barkley to be absent for another week. The last two Giants games have scored 28 points and 37. Points.

Time: Sunday, 1pm Eastern Time (Fox), live on fuboTV (free trial) Opening hours: Saints -5.5, O/U 45.5 Current: Saints -6, O/U 41.5
"Honestly, 10 minutes before I was ready to send my draft picks for Week 9 to my editor, I planned to choose the Falcons in this game, but then I remembered that this was a game involving the Saints. This means I should do something counter-intuitive. We are about to enter the 9th week of the NFL season, somehow, this season I chose the Saints game with a 1-6 advantage, I even feel uncomfortable about me Do the right game because I chose them to defeat the Seahawks without Russell Wilson. Even my 18-month-old daughter knew that the Saints would win that game.
"As I mentioned here every other week, I was terrible in picking the Saints to play. The Saints are now officially rent-free in my mind. No matter what I do, my choices always end in error. . I chose the favorite. I chose the weak. I did the opposite of what my intuition told me to do. I did the opposite of what my first intuition told me to do, that is, to do the opposite of my intuition. Let me do it. As you can see, I have completely cheered myself up now and there is a 97% chance that I will never choose the Saints game correctly again.
"Every week, just when I start to be satisfied with my Saints' upcoming game, some crazy things happen. This week, the crazy thing that happened is that James Winston is absent this season. What if Jermes starts this game and I will choose the Saints to win in double digits. However, without Jermes, this means the Saints will either start Tyson Hill or Trevor Simian. Senhill’s problem is that he has been absent for concussions for the past three weeks. Trevor Siemian’s problem is that he is Trevor Siemian.
"The good news for me (and the Saints) is that it doesn't matter who is the starting quarterback in this game, because I don't think the Falcons can move the ball on the New Orleans defense. For the Saints. Say, the bad news is that I chose them to win this week. If history shows any signs, it means they will lose."

Time: Sunday, 4:05 PM Eastern Time (CBS), live on Paramount (click here) Open: Charger-3, O/U 50.5 Current: Charger-1.5, O/U 49.5
"Another suspicious route. The Eagles run more balls, and the Chargers are susceptible to running because Brandon Starley likes to operate. However, buying a ball with the Eagles is a bad idea-they It was garbage time that decided to beat the Lions in the Gove/Stafford revenge game. Two losses for the Chargers dropped their stocks, but they lost to the Ravens and Pat. Philadelphia passed the ball. The defense is above average, but they are not good against running. It feels like Austin Eckler's full post-practice special show on Wednesday."-CBS Sports senior NFL writer and Pick Six podcast host Will Brinson Said he likes the Chargers to beat the Eagles with a field goal on the road on Sunday.

"With Aaron Rodgers out due to COVID-19, the Packers will really face the challenge of mobile football. But I think they will be able to run with AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones.

"The Cardinals staggered a bit suddenly. Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins didn't train this week and collapsed without JJ Watt's defense last week. Arizona is not as good as its record suggests. , And did not do anything to get better at the trade deadline. The Cardinals have some problems.
"Don't watch it now, but the 49ers are starting to play again, and I believe this will happen again here. At some point, the passing craze will become a thing again... I think it will Starting this weekend. All missed practice time will become a problem for Cards. San Fran has a good enough book about them, this is the last stop of the 49ers. They rediscovered the secret weapon in the outer zone, Jimmy G will finish the work here. "Trey Lance hangs behind him. Kyle Shanahan is not what his representative said, but he will write a good first few series to get his team ahead, and Arizona's injury will cause problems. "
