Sports picks for Thursday, October 1, 2026

MIN: 13.7 points allowed per game to MIA's 28.7

Minnesota allows 13.7 points a game, Miami 28.7. The Vikings gave up 19.6 last season, so their defense is running hot over three games, and Miami's is worse than its 24.9. The direction matches last year, but the size of the gap likely shrinks. Points against Minnesota are hard to come by right now.

CHI: 184.3 rushing yards per game to NYJ's 92.3

Chicago is running for 184.3 yards a game, about double the Jets' 92.3. The Bears ran for 144.5 last season, so this is a jump, while New York has slid from 123.3. Over three games the Chicago number probably settles somewhat, but the gap in style is clear: the Bears want to lean on the ground at home. That points to a game Chicago can shorten if it gets an early lead.

LAR: 284 team passing yards per game to PHI's 191.7

The Rams throw for 284 yards a game; the Eagles are at 191.7. This lines up closely with last season, when LA threw for 268.1 and Philadelphia for 194.3, so three games look like the real identities. The Rams win through the air, the Eagles lean elsewhere. In Philadelphia, the question is whether the Eagles can keep the ball and limit how many chances the Rams' passing game gets.

JAX: 88.9% red-zone scoring rate to CIN's 50%

Jacksonville has scored on 88.9% of its red-zone trips, Cincinnati on half of theirs. The Jaguars were at 61.8% last season, so three games of near-perfect finishing is likely to cool. Cincinnati's 50% sits well under its 66.7% from last year and should rise. Both numbers look headed toward the middle, so the red-zone edge in this game is narrower than it reads today.

BUF: 75% red-zone scoring rate to NE's 16.7%

NE is at 16.7% red-zone scoring rate over 3 games; BUF is at 75% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NE was at 57.1% over 17 games and BUF at 66.2% over 17 games.

BUF: 33.7 points per game to NE's 12

Buffalo is scoring at a 33.7 clip while New England has managed 12 a game through three weeks. The Patriots scored 28.8 a game last season, so this is a collapse from a good offense, while Buffalo is running a bit hotter than its 28.3 from last year. Three games is a short window and New England should climb some, though the Bills look like the side setting the pace. Expect Buffalo to control the scoreboard and New England to need long drives to keep up.

SF: 32.7 points per game to DEN's 20

DEN is at 20 points per game over 3 games; SF is at 32.7 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DEN was at 23.6 over 17 games and SF at 25.7 over 17 games.

BAL: 30.7 points per game to TEN's 12.3

Baltimore is putting up 30.7 points a game, Tennessee 12.3. The Ravens are up from 24.9 last season and the Titans down from 16.7, so three games have stretched an existing gap. Some pullback on both ends is likely, but the direction holds. Tennessee needs a low-scoring game to stay close.

SF: 7.47 yards per play to DEN's 4.87

DEN is at 4.87 yards per play over 3 games; SF is at 7.47 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DEN was at 5.32 over 17 games and SF at 5.49 over 17 games.

BAL: 6.67 yards per play to TEN's 4.77

Baltimore gains almost two more yards every snap than Tennessee. That shows up in big plays: the Ravens had 7 gains of 20 or more in their last game, including Lamar Jackson's 31-yard throw to Rashod Bateman and a 29-yard Derrick Henry run, while the Titans had one, a 20-yard Cam Ward pass to Carnell Tate. Both teams sit close to last season's levels, 5.92 and 4.38, so this looks real. Tennessee will need long drives while Baltimore can score in a few plays.

DAL: 57.1% third-down conversion rate to HOU's 36.4%

Dallas is converting 57.1% of third downs, Houston 36.4%. The Cowboys were at 41.1% last season, so three games of this pace will likely come down, while Houston is close to its 37.2%. Dallas can sustain drives right now, but bet on that rate cooling.

DAL: 1 sack taken per game to HOU's 3.33

Dallas has allowed one sack a game; Houston's quarterback is going down 3.33 times. The Cowboys gave up 2.38 last season, so their protection is running ahead of form over three games. Houston's number is worse than its 2.58 from last year. Pressure on the Texans' passer is the more stable trait here.

GB: 266.7 team passing yards per game to TB's 185

GB is at 266.7 team passing yards per game over 3 games; TB is at 185 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season GB was at 212.8 over 17 games and TB at 205.9 over 17 games.

HOU: 86.7 rushing yards allowed per game to DAL's 179.7

Dallas is giving up 179.7 rushing yards a game, Houston just 86.7, both over three games. A run defense that porous usually means opponents are leaning on the ground, sometimes because they are ahead, so game script can inflate it. Three games is a short sample, though the gap is wide. For DAL @ HOU, Houston's run game and rushing yardage props look like the natural place to start.

DAL: 1 sacks taken a game to HOU's 3.33

Dallas has allowed one sack a game while Houston's quarterback has gone down 3.33 times a game, over three games. Last season the two were close, 2.38 for Dallas and 2.58 for Houston, so Houston's protection has gotten worse and Dallas's better. Three games is a short look and both numbers can move. Houston has to protect with quicker throws and extra blockers, or drives will stall on long downs.

MIN: 13.7 points allowed a game to MIA's 28.7

Minnesota is giving up 13.7 points a game while Miami's defense allows 28.7, both over 3 games. Both marks have moved from last season, when MIN allowed 19.6 and MIA 24.9, so three games have stretched a gap that was about five points. Expect some pull back toward those full-season numbers. For this game, the Miami defense coming into a road spot is the side to worry about, and the Vikings' 13.7 is the number more likely to rise.

SF: 7.47 yards a snap to DEN's 4.87

The widest gap between these two is yards a snap: DEN averaged 4.87 yards a snap on offense over 3 games; SF averaged 7.47 yards a snap on offense over 3 games this season. Last season DEN was at 5.32 over 17 games and SF at 5.49 over 17 games.

NO: 281.3 pass yards a game to ATL's 167.7

New Orleans throws for 281.3 yards a game and Atlanta for 167.7, over three games. Last season the Saints were at 219.3 and the Falcons at 207.2, so the Saints' passing has jumped and Atlanta's has dropped. Both should move back toward last season. For this game, the Saints' passing attack carries the offense at home, and Atlanta has to find more through the air than it has so far.

Josh Allen (QB) is questionable for BUF

Allen is questionable with a knee injury, but he was spotted practicing Wednesday, which is a good early sign. Questionable means it could go either way, and a quarterback who is practicing midweek usually points toward playing. Thursday and Friday practice reports will say more before you commit to anything on New England at Buffalo.

Jayden Daniels (QB) is questionable for WSH

Daniels is Washington's starting quarterback, so this is the status that moves the whole game. He was limited again at Thursday's practice with an elbow issue, which means he is working but not taking every rep. Questionable means a real chance he plays. Limited work late in the week usually points toward suiting up, but an elbow on a throwing arm can cap what he does even if he goes. Watch Friday's practice report and the final designation before trusting any Washington passing number against Indianapolis.

Sam Cosmi (G) is out for WSH

Cosmi is out Sunday against the Colts with a concussion and is not traveling to London. That pulls a starting-caliber guard off Washington's interior line, and the sheet does not say who replaces him. If you like Commanders rushing props or a clean pocket for their passer, factor in a reshuffled line against Indianapolis.

Nick Cross (S) is out for WSH

Cross is ruled out with an illness and is not making the trip to London, so the Commanders play the Colts on Sunday without him in the secondary. Out means no game-time decision here: he will not play. The sheet does not name who takes his snaps at safety, so check Washington's depth chart before betting anything that leans on their pass defense.

BAL: 167.3 rush yards a game to TEN's 90.3

Baltimore runs for 167.3 yards a game and Tennessee for 90.3, over three games. Last season it was 156.6 against 93.5, so both teams look like themselves. The gap should hold. Baltimore can lean on the run at home and keep the ball, and Tennessee has a hard time catching up if it falls behind early with a run game that small.

Dallas Goedert (TE) is doubtful for PHI

Goedert has a knee injury and did not practice Thursday, which is why Philadelphia lists the tight end as doubtful for the Rams game. Doubtful usually means a player sits, so plan as if Goedert is out. If the knee keeps Goedert off the field, the tight end targets go to whoever is next on the Eagles depth chart, and bettors should weigh Goedert props and the Philadelphia passing game with that in mind.

Terrance Ferguson (TE) is doubtful for LAR

Doubtful means Ferguson is unlikely to suit up at Philadelphia. His ankle kept him out of practice again Thursday, so he has not been on the field this week. If he sits, the Rams lean on their other tight ends, and any prop tied to Ferguson should be treated as off the board until his status is final.

Colbie Young (WR) is out for CIN

Colbie Young will not suit up for the Bengals against the Jaguars in Week 4 because of a knee injury, per a report on Sep 28. The sheet gives no timeline beyond this game, so treat his absence as a one-week fact for now. His targets have to go to other Cincinnati receivers, and any prop tied to Young is dead for this matchup.

Braxton Jones (OT) is doubtful for CHI

Chicago's offensive tackle Braxton Jones is doubtful against the Jets and called week-to-week with a knee injury. Doubtful almost always means he sits, and week-to-week means this may stretch past one game. The sheet does not name his replacement, so the question for this game is how well a backup tackle holds up on the edge.

Mason Taylor (TE) is doubtful for NYJ

Taylor, the Jets' tight end, is doubtful with a thumb injury and did not practice Thursday. Doubtful means the team expects him out. He would be one of three Jets skill players listed doubtful for this game, along with Hall and Mitchell. That is a lot of missing pieces for one offense, so look closely at whoever is left to see the field.

Breece Hall (RB) is doubtful for NYJ

Hall is the Jets' lead running back, and doubtful means he probably sits. A quad injury kept him out of practice Thursday. The sheet does not name his replacement, so the backfield touches are unclear for now. With Mitchell and Taylor also doubtful, the Jets offense could look very different, and that uncertainty affects anything built on New York moving the ball.

Adonai Mitchell (WR) is doubtful for NYJ

Doubtful usually means a player sits, and Mitchell's finger injury kept him out of practice Thursday. The sheet does not say who replaces him, but his targets go to the rest of the Jets receivers. That matters more because Hall and Taylor are also doubtful, so New York could be thin at several spots against Chicago. Plan on Mitchell missing and look at who is left to catch passes.

Caleb Williams (QB) is doubtful for CHI

Doubtful means the Bears expect to play this one without their starting quarterback. Williams has a hamstring injury and still had not practiced by Thursday, which leaves little time to get ready. The sheet does not name a backup, so check who takes the first-team reps before the weekend. For bettors, a starting quarterback sitting changes the whole Chicago offense, so wait for the final status before backing anything tied to the Bears passing game.

MIN: 11.1% red-zone scoring allowed to MIA's 78.6%

Minnesota has allowed red-zone touchdowns on just 11.1% of trips, Miami 78.6%, both over three games. Red-zone rates rest on very few plays, so Minnesota's number will almost certainly rise. Miami's mark looks more like a real problem, though it's also only three games. In this game, Minnesota scoring touchdowns rather than field goals is the edge the numbers lean toward.

TB: 37.5% red-zone scoring allowed to GB's 83.3%

Green Bay has let opponents score touchdowns on 83.3% of red-zone trips, while Tampa Bay has held that to 37.5%. Both numbers come from three games, and red-zone rates swing hard on a handful of snaps, so neither is settled yet. The fact sheet doesn't say who these teams faced, so schedule can't be ruled in or out. For this game, Tampa's offense finishing drives against a leaky Packers red zone is the spot to think about for touchdown props and totals.

CHI: 184.3 rush yards a game to NYJ's 92.3

Chicago runs for 184.3 yards a game and the Jets for 92.3, both over three games. The Bears were at 144.5 last season, so this run game has gotten stronger, while the Jets fell from 123.3. Chicago's number should cool some but likely stays well ahead. A Bears offense that keeps running can grind the clock at home, which makes the Jets play from behind and lean on the pass.

LAR: 284 pass yards a game to PHI's 191.7

The Rams throw for 284 yards a game and the Eagles for 191.7, three games each. This lines up with last season, 268.1 for the Rams and 194.3 for the Eagles, so the gap looks real. Philadelphia's offense has thrown little in both seasons. The Rams will try to win through the air in Philadelphia, and the Eagles need to control the game on the ground and limit how many possessions the Rams get.

ATL: 47.7 rushing yards allowed per game to NO's 128.7

Atlanta allows only 47.7 rushing yards a game, New Orleans 128.7, both over three games. Run defense numbers that low often reflect opponents who fell behind and stopped running, so game script may be helping. For ATL @ NO, Saints rushing props look tough against this front, while Atlanta's run game has more room.

LV: 3.33 sacks recorded per game to KC's 1.33

Las Vegas averages 3.33 sacks a game, Kansas City 1.33, over three games each. Sack counts depend heavily on opponents' protection and pass volume, so three games leaves room for movement. For KC @ LV, the Raiders' pass rush is the side with the edge, which matters for Kansas City drive sustainability and Raiders sack props.

MIN: 4.67 sacks recorded per game to MIA's 0

Minnesota is getting 4.67 sacks a game and Miami has zero through three games. Some of that depends on who was protecting the quarterback, which the sheet doesn't show. Zero over three games is a pass rush that isn't affecting anyone. For MIA @ MIN, Minnesota's quarterback should have time, while Miami's passer is the one more likely to face pressure.

HOU: 3.67 sacks recorded per game to DAL's 0.67

DAL is at 0.67 sacks recorded per game over 3 games; HOU is at 3.67 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

Lamar Jackson (QB) is questionable for BAL

Jackson is Baltimore's starting quarterback, so any limit on him changes how this offense works. He is dealing with a back injury, and he was on the field at the start of Thursday's practice, per a report on Oct 1. Questionable means it is uncertain whether he plays, and practicing on Thursday is a good sign for his chances. The Friday practice report and his final designation are the details to check before betting this game.

MIN: 22.7% third downs allowed to MIA's 48.1%

Minnesota has allowed conversions on only 22.7% of third downs, Miami 48.1%, over three games each. Minnesota's mark is extreme for any defense and likely drifts up as the sample grows. Without opponent detail, it's unclear how much schedule helped. For MIA @ MIN, Miami's offense facing long drives against this unit is the angle to weigh on totals and Miami's team points.

Jovaughn Gwyn (G) is out for BAL

Gwyn has a fractured fibula that will likely need surgery, so this is a long absence and he will not play against Tennessee. Baltimore will need another guard to step into his spot on the line. When judging how the Ravens run the ball and protect the passer, factor in a reshuffled interior.

Ethan Pocic (C) is out for BAL

Ethan Pocic, the Ravens' center, is set to miss significant time with a knee injury, reported Sep 29. The center makes the line calls and snaps every play, so a replacement there matters more than a typical depth move. Baltimore also lost guard Jovaughn Gwyn in the same report, which leaves the middle of the line reshuffled for the Titans game.

Baker Mayfield (QB) is out for TB

Baker Mayfield has a thumb injury, and Todd Bowles said Monday he is expected to miss three weeks. That covers the Packers game and likely the next two after it. Losing the starting quarterback for that stretch changes how the whole Tampa Bay offense operates, so any Bucs number built on his games needs to be rethought for this window.

SEA: 3.77 yards per play allowed to LAC's 5.4

Seattle allows 3.77 yards per play, the Chargers 5.4, over three games each. Yards per play is one of the steadier defensive measures, so a gap this large across three games carries more weight than most early stats. Opponent strength isn't on the sheet. For LAC @ SEA, Seattle's defense limiting chunk plays leans toward a lower-scoring Chargers day.

CAR: 172.3 passing yards allowed per game to DET's 299.3

DET is at 299.3 passing yards allowed per game over 3 games; CAR is at 172.3 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

Jaylen Watson (CB) is doubtful for LAR

Jaylen Watson dislocated his shoulder in Sunday night's loss to the Broncos, and Sean McVay said he is likely to miss the Eagles game. Doubtful here means expect him out. A dislocated shoulder rarely clears in a week, so the Rams should plan to face Philadelphia's passing game with a thinner cornerback group.

WSH: 0.33 turnovers a game to IND's 2

Washington has given the ball away once in three games while Indianapolis averages two giveaways a game. Last season both teams sat at 1.35 a game, so neither number looks like a settled identity after three games. Turnover rates swing hard week to week, and both should drift back toward last season. For this game, the Colts have to protect the ball on the road, and a Washington team that keeps winning the giveaway count will shorten the game for Indy.

BUF: 54.5% on third down to NE's 32.5%

Buffalo converts 54.5% of its third downs while New England sits at 32.5%, three games each. Last season the Patriots were at 42.9% and the Bills at 44.8%, so both teams have moved far from their normal. Expect each to drift back toward last season. If New England stays near 32.5% at Buffalo, the Bills keep the ball longer and get more possessions, so drives that end in punts are the Patriots' problem to fix.

CHI: 5.17 yards per rush attempt to NYJ's 3.17

Chicago averages 5.17 yards a carry while the Jets are at 3.17, so the Bears run efficiently and the Jets mostly don't. Both are three-game numbers; last season the Jets ran for 4.53 and Chicago for 4.75. The Jets are likely to climb back up some, and Chicago's mark is above its prior level too. At home, Chicago should be able to lean on the run, but the gap is probably smaller than it looks.

DET: 117.3 rushing yards allowed per game to CAR's 193.3

Carolina gives up 193.3 rushing yards a game, Detroit 117.3, over three games each. A number that high can be inflated by opponents running out the clock with a lead, and the sheet doesn't say who Carolina played. Three games is short, but the gap is wide. For DET @ CAR, Detroit leaning on the run looks like a natural game plan.

Damien Lewis (G) is out for CAR

Carolina guard Damien Lewis is out against Detroit with an elbow injury. Coach Dave Canales said Wednesday he may return after the Week 5 bye, so this looks like a short absence. For this game, Carolina has a backup guard on the interior against Detroit, which matters most for their inside run game.

Xavier Legette (WR) is doubtful for CAR

Legette was still a non-participant Thursday with a knee injury, and doubtful means he's unlikely to play against Detroit. Two missed practices in a row points the same way. If he's out, Carolina's targets go to other receivers the sheet doesn't name, so his props are best left alone this week.

Charlie Kolar (TE) is doubtful for LAC

Kolar did not practice Thursday because of a forearm injury, and the Chargers list the tight end as doubtful at Seattle. Doubtful players rarely suit up, so the safer assumption is that Kolar misses this one. Any Kolar prop carries real risk of the player not taking the field.

Trey Lance (QB) is questionable for LAC

Lance has a groin injury and was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, reported Oct 2. Questionable means roughly a coin flip to play, and a limited session points toward him working through it rather than being shut down. A Friday practice report is the next real signal before the trip to Seattle. If you are looking at Chargers passing numbers, wait for that update, because a groin can limit how a quarterback moves even when he suits up.

James Thompson Jr. (DT) is out for SF

James Thompson Jr. is out for the Broncos game with an ankle injury, reported Sep 29. He sits in the same week as Nick Bosa, so San Francisco is missing a tackle and its lead edge rusher at once. That double hit to the front is the main reason to look harder at Denver's ability to move the ball in this matchup.

Nick Bosa (DE) is out for SF

Out means no decision is left: Kyle Shanahan said on Monday, Sep 28, that Bosa will not play Sunday against the Broncos because of a calf injury. Since the call came early in the week, the number should already account for his absence. The sheet does not name who takes his snaps, so look at how the Niners rotate their defensive ends before you trust any Denver passing angle.

Aidan O'Connell (QB) is questionable for LV

O'Connell sat out Wednesday's practice for a personal reason, not an injury. Questionable means it's roughly a coin flip whether he plays, and a personal absence can clear up fast or drag on. With Kansas City coming to Las Vegas, wait for the later practice reports before touching any Raiders passing number.

Charles Demmings (CB) is out for MIN

Kevin O'Connell said Charles Demmings will miss some time with a hamstring injury, reported Sep 29. Hamstrings tend to linger, so this is likely more than a one-game absence. Minnesota has to cover Miami's receivers with a thinner cornerback group, which is the spot to watch for Dolphins passing numbers this week.

Azeez Al-Shaair (LB) is doubtful for HOU

Al-Shaair hurt his groin Sunday at Indianapolis, and DeMeco Ryans calling him week-to-week makes the doubtful tag look like a likely absence against Dallas. That label points past one game. Houston's other linebackers take on his snaps, so plan around a Texans defense playing without him for more than this week.

Cobie Durant (CB) is doubtful for DAL

Doubtful means Durant is very unlikely to play Sunday at Houston, so plan for Dallas without him. He is a cornerback dealing with a hamstring, an injury that tends to linger, and the report came out Sep 29. The sheet does not name who steps into his spot, so the Cowboys secondary goes into this one thinner. If you look at Houston passing numbers, factor in a Dallas defense likely missing a corner.

HOU: 38.5% third downs allowed to DAL's 58.8%

DAL is at 58.8% third downs allowed over 3 games; HOU is at 38.5% over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

GB: 266.7 pass yards a game to TB's 185

Green Bay throws for 266.7 yards a game and Tampa Bay for 185, over three games. Last season the Packers were at 212.8 and the Bucs at 205.9, so this gap is new. Green Bay's number should cool, and Tampa's should come up some. The Packers can throw on the road, and the Bucs need their own passing to wake up to keep pace.

MIN: 23.7 points per game to MIA's 12

MIA is at 12 points per game over 3 games; MIN is at 23.7 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season MIA was at 20.4 over 17 games and MIN at 20.2 over 17 games.

DET: 75% fourth-down conversion rate to CAR's 16.7%

Detroit has converted 75% of fourth downs and Carolina only 16.7%, both on three games and a handful of attempts. Last season Detroit was at 58.1% and Carolina at 67.5%, so Carolina's number is likely to rise a lot. Detroit's aggressive habit of going for it is real, but this sample is tiny. Expect the Lions to keep going for it, which can swing a game quickly in either direction.

DAL: 29.3 points per game to HOU's 18

Dallas is scoring 29.3 points a game to Houston's 18, a clear edge for the Cowboys' offense through three games. Dallas scored 27.7 last season, so its pace looks real. Houston averaged 23.8 a year ago, so 18 is likely to climb. Dallas should carry its offense into Houston, but expect the Texans to score more than this start suggests.

PIT: 2 takeaways per game to CLE's 0.67

Pittsburgh is forcing 2 takeaways a game, Cleveland 0.67, over three games each. Takeaways are among the most random stats week to week, so both numbers are likely to move toward the middle. For PIT @ CLE, the gap favors Pittsburgh in turnover margin, but it's a thin edge to lean on alone.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

SF: 90% red-zone scoring rate to DEN's 60%

DEN is at 60% red-zone scoring rate over 3 games; SF is at 90% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DEN was at 57.9% over 17 games and SF at 65.2% over 17 games.

KC: 6.47 yards per play to LV's 4.93

Kansas City gains 6.47 yards a play, up from 5.05 last season over three games, and Mahomes hit Kelce for 48 yards and Rice for 34 last game. Las Vegas is at 4.93, also up from 4.35 a year ago, and had a 36-yard Mike Washington Jr. touchdown run. Both offenses are running hotter than last season, so some cooling is likely. KC's explosive passing looks like the steadier edge on the road.

Dylan Parham (G) is doubtful for NYJ

Jets guard Dylan Parham is doubtful at Chicago and considered week to week with a knee injury. Doubtful usually means he does not play, and week to week points to more than one missed game. The sheet does not name a replacement, so the Jets will lean on a backup on the interior line for this one.

LV: 3 takeaways per game to KC's 1.67

Las Vegas is forcing 3 takeaways a game, Kansas City 1.67, over three games each. A rate of 3 per game is very hard to sustain, so the Raiders will likely regress. For KC @ LV, Las Vegas still holds the edge in creating turnovers, which is the main way this defense can flip field position.

CHI: 2 takeaways per game to NYJ's 0.67

Chicago averages 2 takeaways a game, the Jets 0.67, both over three games. Turnovers swing a lot from week to week and depend on opponent mistakes, so expect Chicago's rate to cool. For NYJ @ CHI, the Bears are the side more likely to win the turnover battle, which can matter for short fields and spreads.

MIN: 4.77 yards per play allowed to MIA's 6.3

MIA is at 6.3 yards per play allowed over 3 games; MIN is at 4.77 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

SEA: 141.7 passing yards allowed per game to LAC's 233

Seattle allows 141.7 passing yards a game, the Chargers 233, both over three games. Low passing yards can come from opponents running more with a lead, and the sheet doesn't show who Seattle faced. For LAC @ SEA, Chargers passing props face a defense that has kept yards down early in the season.

KC: 6.47 yards a snap to LV's 4.93

Kansas City gains 6.47 yards a snap and Las Vegas 4.93, over three games. Last season it was 5.05 for the Chiefs and 4.35 for the Raiders, so both teams improved, with Kansas City jumping more. The Chiefs' number will likely come down some. Kansas City moves the ball in bigger chunks, so the Raiders need long, patient drives at home to keep the game close.

BUF: 6.67 yards per play to NE's 5.2

Buffalo is gaining 6.67 yards a play to New England's 5.2, a sizeable gap over three games. Last season the order was flipped, with New England at 6.23 and Buffalo at 5.94. Drake Maye had five plays of 20-plus yards last game, including a 38-yarder to DeMario Douglas, so the Patriots can hit big plays. Expect New England to close some of this gap, but Buffalo's efficiency at home is the stronger trend.

KC: 153.3 rushing yards per game to LV's 100

Kansas City runs for 153.3 yards a game while Las Vegas sits at 100. The Chiefs were at 106.6 last season over three games, so this pace is a big jump that may cool. Las Vegas is also up from 77.5 last season. KC can lean on the run to control the clock, but the gap is likely smaller over a full season.

Bucky Irving (RB) is questionable for TB

Irving is Tampa Bay's running back, and he stayed limited with a glute injury Thursday, so this has carried over across the week. Questionable means he could go either way against Green Bay. If he plays at less than full strength, the Bucs may spread the carries around. Wait for the final call before betting on his rushing yardage.

D'Andre Swift (RB) is questionable for CHI

Swift didn't participate in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury. Reported Oct 1.

Drew Allar (QB) is inactive for PIT

Allar is inactive by coach's decision for Thursday's game at Cleveland, with no injury involved. He will not play, so he has no effect on this game's numbers.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

Will Howard (QB) is inactive for PIT

Howard is inactive by coach's decision for Thursday at Cleveland, with no injury involved. He is Pittsburgh's emergency quarterback, so he only sees the field if the starter and backup both go down.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

Chris Godwin Jr. (WR) is questionable for TB

Godwin is questionable with an ankle injury, and he was practicing Thursday, Oct 1. Questionable means a real chance he plays, and practice work late in the week is a good sign for that. If he sits against the Packers, Tampa Bay loses a key receiver and targets shift elsewhere, so wait for Friday's report before betting his props or anything tied to the Bucs passing game.

DeVonta Smith (WR) is questionable for PHI

Smith carries a questionable tag, but the report says he isn't expected to play Sunday against the Rams because of a hamstring, so the official label understates how likely he is to sit. Hamstrings tend to linger, and a late surprise looks unlikely. If he's out, the Eagles' passing game loses one of its main targets in this home game with the Rams. Plan around a Philadelphia offense without him.

Will Shipley (RB) is questionable for PHI

Shipley missed Wednesday's practice with a foot injury, and questionable means it could go either way against the Rams. A missed practice to start the week leans toward concern. Watch Thursday and Friday reports before counting on him in the Eagles backfield rotation.

Puka Nacua (WR) is questionable for LAR

Nacua is questionable with a hip issue and was a limited participant Thursday, so he is practicing in some form. That points more toward playing at Philadelphia than sitting. A bettor should watch whether he is upgraded to full participation before Sunday, since a limited week can mean a lighter role even if he is active.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB) is questionable for NYG

Tracy is questionable with a knee issue but got limited work in Thursday's practice, which is a better sign than sitting out. Questionable means it could go either way for Arizona. If his practice reps hold or grow by the end of the week, he likely plays, though his workload against the Cardinals is less certain than his availability.

Jakobi Meyers (WR) is questionable for JAX

Meyers has a thumb injury and was limited Thursday, which means he did some practice work. Questionable puts his status near a coin flip, and limited work points toward him having a chance to play at Cincinnati. Thumb injuries can affect catching, so even if he plays, his role is less certain. Hold off on his props until the final report comes out.

LeQuint Allen Jr. (RB) is questionable for JAX

Allen has a hip injury and was limited in Thursday's practice, which leaves the Jaguars running back questionable at Cincinnati. Limited work means Allen was on the field in some form, a better sign than sitting out entirely. Questionable is a true coin flip label, so check the final status before leaning on Allen's usage in the Jacksonville backfield.

Kene Nwangwu (RB) is questionable for NYJ

Nwangwu (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports. Reported Sep 30.

Keon Coleman (WR) is questionable for BUF

Coleman is managing an ankle injury and was limited in Thursday's practice. Questionable puts his availability against New England in doubt. Buffalo also has DJ Moore listed as questionable, so the Bills' receiver room could be thin. That makes the final injury report doubly useful for anyone betting on Buffalo's passing game.

DJ Moore (WR) is questionable for BUF

Moore has a shoulder injury and stayed limited on Thursday, which means this is now more than one day of partial work. Questionable means his status for New England at home is uncertain. Repeated limited sessions often end with a player suiting up, but a shoulder can cap how freely he plays. If you are looking at Bills receiver props, wait for Friday's report and the final designation.

Rachaad White (RB) is questionable for WSH

Rachaad White is questionable with a shoulder injury, and sitting out practice again on Thursday makes this one lean toward him missing Washington's home game against the Colts. Questionable officially means he could go either way, but missing practice again this late in the week usually points the wrong direction. Hold off on his props or any Washington running back props until his final status comes out before kickoff.

Keenan Allen (WR) is questionable for IND

Allen is dealing with a groin injury and was limited in Thursday's practice, so he got some work in but not a full load. Questionable means it is a real coin flip whether he plays at Washington. A limited session points more toward playing than a full sit would, though groin issues can linger. Friday's practice status and the final injury report are the things to check before betting anything tied to the Colts' passing game.

Ashton Dulin (WR) is questionable for IND

Dulin is a depth receiver for the Colts, so his absence would shift a few snaps rather than change the offense. He did not practice Wednesday, Sep 30, with an ankle injury. Questionable leaves him somewhere near a coin flip, and missing the first practice of the week pushes that lean toward sitting. His status matters little for game lines against Washington, so bettors can mostly ignore it outside of deep props.

BAL: 30:39 time of possession per game to TEN's 23:28

TEN is at 23:28 time of possession per game over 3 games; BAL is at 30:39 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season TEN was at 29:08 over 17 games and BAL at 29:11 over 17 games.

Jalen Coker (WR) is questionable for CAR

Coker has a quad injury and was limited Thursday, so he took part in some practice work. Questionable means he has a real chance to face Detroit. If he plays, his snap count could still be cut back. Wait for the final status before betting on his receiving numbers.

Keaton Mitchell (RB) is questionable for LAC

Mitchell has an ankle injury and was limited Thursday, leaving the Chargers running back questionable at Seattle. Limited practice is a better sign than sitting out. Check the final status, since a reduced workload would shift carries elsewhere in the backfield.

Jadarian Price (RB) is questionable for SEA

Price is questionable with a chest injury and did not practice Thursday. A missed practice makes his status for the Chargers game shaky. Check whether he returns to practice before Sunday, since Seattle's backfield touches would shift if he sits.

Ladd McConkey (WR) is questionable for LAC

McConkey is questionable with a foot injury, missed Thursday's practice and was seen limping out of the locker room. That is a worrying combination for Sunday at Seattle. Treat anything tied to McConkey carefully until his final status comes out, since the limp suggests the injury is more than routine soreness.

KhaDarel Hodge (WR) is questionable for SF

Hodge did not practice Wednesday because of a knee injury, and he is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Broncos. Questionable means it could go either way. One missed practice early in the week is a single data point, so Thursday and Friday reports will say more. The sheet does not describe his role or name a replacement, so any bet that depends on San Francisco's receiver group is better made after his final status is known.

Mike Evans (WR) is questionable for SF

Evans is questionable with a rib injury and did not practice Thursday. Questionable means roughly a coin flip, and a missed practice tilts it toward caution for the game against Denver. If he plays, a rib injury can limit how hard he works, so watch his final status and practice line before Sunday.

Hollywood Brown (WR) is questionable for PHI

Brown (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Reported Oct 1.

Jaylen Waddle (WR) is questionable for DEN

Waddle was spotted in a walking boot on his right foot after Sunday's win over the Rams, but the word out of Denver is that he is fine. Questionable means a real chance he plays, and the report points that way, though a boot on a receiver's foot can mean a limited role or a decoy snap count even if he suits up. Watch his practice status and pregame reports before betting his receiving numbers at San Francisco.

Justin Jefferson (WR) is questionable for MIN

Jefferson did not practice Thursday because of an ankle injury, which is a bigger warning sign than a limited session. He is officially questionable for Miami. If he sits or plays at less than full speed, Minnesota's passing game loses its top option. Anyone betting the Vikings' offense or their receiver props should wait for Friday's practice report and the final designation before acting.

Chris Bell (WR) is questionable for MIA

Bell has a knee injury and was limited in Thursday's practice. Questionable leaves his status for the trip to Minnesota uncertain. Partial practice work is a better sign than sitting out entirely. If you are considering Dolphins receiver props, the final injury report is the thing to wait for.

Caleb Douglas (WR) is questionable for MIA

Douglas is dealing with an ankle injury and did not take part in the portion of Thursday's practice open to reporters. Questionable means his status is still open, but two days of not practicing is the trend to watch. If he cannot go at Minnesota, the targets he would have seen get spread among Miami's other receivers. Hold off on any Douglas bet until the final status comes out.

Jaylen Wright (RB) is questionable for MIA

Wright was officially limited Wednesday with a foot injury, reported Sep 30, before Miami's trip to Minnesota. Limited practice early in the week leaves him a real chance to play. A foot issue could still cap his workload if he suits up. Keep an eye on the late-week report before betting his rushing numbers.

George Holani (RB) is questionable for SEA

Holani (ribs) remained limited in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Reported Oct 1.

British Brooks (RB) is questionable for HOU

Brooks is questionable with a hamstring injury and did not practice Thursday against a Dallas matchup this week. A missed practice with a hamstring is a warning sign. His Friday status is the thing to check before backing anything tied to Houston's backfield.

Nico Collins (WR) is questionable for HOU

Collins has a hamstring injury and remained limited Thursday, so this is an ongoing issue. Questionable means his status for Dallas is uncertain, and hamstrings can flare up even when a player is cleared. A limited player who suits up can also see a lighter workload. Before backing anything tied to the Texans' passing attack, check his Friday practice status and the final designation.

Brenen Thompson (WR) is questionable for LAC

Thompson has a quadriceps injury and did not practice Thursday, reported Oct 2. Questionable with no practice reps is a shakier version of the tag than a limited session, so his chances of playing at Seattle lean lower until he gets back on the field. Watch whether he practices Friday. If he sits, his targets go to the rest of the Chargers receivers, which matters for anyone eyeing receiving props in this game.

Braves are 9-4 vs Phillies this season

Atlanta has won nine of the 13 meetings, a real sample. Philadelphia took the last one 9-4, so the edge does not hold every night. The record shows who has won without saying which starters pitched or where, which limits how much it explains. With the game in Atlanta, give the Braves a mild lean in how you frame this spot, then check tonight's starters before leaning on the head-to-head.

Zay Flowers (WR) is questionable for BAL

Flowers has a hamstring issue and was limited in Wednesday's practice ahead of Tennessee's visit. Hamstrings can linger, and even an active player may see his snaps managed. He is one of two Baltimore questionable tags this week along with Jackson, so the Ravens' passing game has two moving pieces to settle.

Taylen Green (QB) is inactive for CLE

Green is inactive by coach's decision for Thursday against the Steelers, with no injury involved. He is Cleveland's emergency quarterback, so he only plays if both quarterbacks ahead of him go down.

P Edge side won; final 24-27

Tyjae Spears (RB) is questionable for TEN

Spears is questionable for Tennessee with an ankle injury, and Robert Saleh said he will practice Thursday alongside Tony Pollard, who is dealing with a foot injury. With both backs on the injury report, nobody on this sheet is a clear fallback to take the carries. Both practicing is a good sign that the backfield looks normal against Baltimore. Rushing props for either back are safer to judge once the final designations come out.

Tony Pollard (RB) is questionable for TEN

Pollard is listed as questionable for Tennessee with a foot injury. Head coach Robert Saleh said he is expected to practice Thursday, which points toward him playing. Questionable means a real chance he sits, and Tyjae Spears, also questionable with an ankle injury, is the other back named on this sheet. If both are limited, the Titans backfield workload is hard to project, so wait for the final injury designations before betting a Tennessee rushing number.

TB: 76 rushing yards allowed per game to GB's 138.7

Tampa has given up 76 rushing yards a game through three games while Green Bay has allowed 138.7, so one front is holding up against the run and the other is leaking. Three games is a short sample, and the fact sheet does not say who each side faced, so part of the gap could be schedule. With no prior-season numbers here, expect both figures to drift. For this game, the question is whether Green Bay's run defense gives Tampa an easy path to stay on schedule.

NE: 170 passing yards allowed per game to BUF's 254.3

New England has allowed 170 passing yards a game over three games, and Buffalo has allowed 254.3. Three games can be bent by opponents and by game script: a defense playing with a lead faces more throws, and one playing from behind faces fewer. There is no prior-season number to check either against, so both can move. Buffalo's pass defense is the softer one so far, which matters if New England has to throw to keep up on the road.

SEA: 25 points per game to LAC's 14.7

Seattle scores 25 a game and the Chargers only 14.7 over three games. Seattle averaged 28.4 last season, so its pace is in a normal range. The Chargers scored 21.6 last season, so 14.7 is low and likely to rise. Seattle at home looks like the better offense, but expect the Chargers' scoring to come back toward last season.

SEA: 266.7 pass yards a game to LAC's 195.7

Seattle throws for 266.7 yards a game and the Chargers for 195.7, over three games. Last season Seattle was at 228.1 and the Chargers at 212.2, so Seattle has climbed and the Chargers have fallen. Expect both to move partway back. At home, Seattle will look to pass, and the Chargers need more from their own air attack to match.

ARI: 100% fourth-down conversion rate to NYG's 50%

Arizona is a perfect 100% on fourth down through three games, while the Giants are at 50%. Both are tiny samples. Last season Arizona was at 42.9% and the Giants at 46.2%, so Arizona's mark will fall. Expect both teams to land closer to last season's numbers, so don't trust that perfect conversion rate.

SEA: 1 sack taken per game to LAC's 2.67

Seattle's quarterback has gone down once a game through three games, while the Chargers are giving up 2.67. That lines up with last season, when LAC took 3.75 a game and SEA 2.08, so the Chargers' protection problem looks real. Three games is a small sample, but two seasons pointing the same way should mostly hold. In Seattle, expect pressure to shape LAC's drives more than SEA's, which matters for stalled possessions and quarterback sack props.

BUF: 0.67 interceptions thrown per game to NE's 2

NE is at 2 interceptions thrown per game over 3 games; BUF is at 0.67 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NE was at 0.47 over 17 games and BUF at 0.59 over 17 games.

WSH: 82 rushing yards allowed per game to IND's 141.3

Washington has allowed 82 rushing yards a game through three games, while Indianapolis has given up 141.3. That is a big gap, but three games is a small sample and the sheet does not show which offenses each team saw. Without last season's numbers to compare, expect some movement toward the middle. In this matchup, Washington's run game looks to have the easier assignment against an Indianapolis front that has been giving up ground.

NO: 27 points per game to ATL's 17

ATL is at 17 points per game over 3 games; NO is at 27 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season ATL was at 20.8 over 17 games and NO at 18 over 17 games.

DET: 4 sacks recorded per game to CAR's 2.33

Detroit is getting to the quarterback 4 times a game over three games, and Carolina is at 2.33. Sack totals swing with opponents and with how often a team is trailing and forced to throw, and three games is not much to go on. There is no prior-season figure here, so 4 a game is hard to call a true level. For this game, a Detroit pass rush getting home that often puts pressure on Carolina's protection, especially if Carolina falls behind.

GB: 2.67 sacks taken per game to TB's 4.33

Tampa Bay is giving up 4.33 sacks a game, well above Green Bay at 2.67. Both are three-game numbers and both are higher than last season, Tampa at 2.38 and Green Bay at 2.07. Tampa's protection should improve from here, but if Green Bay's pass rush gets home again, drives can stall. Watch how the Buccaneers handle the edge early.

TEN: 50% fourth-down conversion rate to BAL's 0%

TEN is at 50% fourth-down conversion rate over 3 games; BAL is at 0% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season TEN was at 45.7% over 17 games and BAL at 60% over 17 games.

SF: 0 sacks taken per game to DEN's 1.67

DEN is at 1.67 sacks taken per game over 3 games; SF is at 0 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DEN was at 1.77 over 17 games and SF at 1.8 over 17 games.

Concussion, Throat · Did not practice · Out

Mo Alie-Cox (TE) is questionable for IND

Alie-Cox (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday. Reported Oct 1.

Chig Okonkwo (TE) is questionable for WSH

Okonkwo (hamstring) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice. Reported Oct 1.

Ben Sinnott (TE) is questionable for WSH

Sinnott (ribs) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice. Reported Oct 1.

Ko Kieft (TE) is questionable for TB

Kieft has an elbow injury and did not practice Thursday. Missing practice is a worse sign than limited work, even with a questionable tag. He is a Tampa Bay tight end, and the sheet gives no detail on his role or backup. Watch his status, but his absence moves the Bucs offense less than Irving's would.

Durham Smythe (TE) is questionable for BAL

Smythe (heel) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Reported Sep 30.

Noah Fant (TE) is questionable for NO

Fant has an abdominal injury and was limited in Thursday's practice. Questionable means his availability against Atlanta is uncertain. Partial practice work points more toward playing than sitting. Saints tight end props should be held until Friday's report and the final designation.

Nate Boerkircher (TE) is questionable for JAX

Boerkircher missed Thursday's practice with an illness and is questionable for the Jaguars at Cincinnati. Illnesses can clear quickly or linger, so this one comes down to the final injury report before kickoff.

NYJ: 4.67 yards per play allowed to CHI's 5.93

The Jets are allowing 4.67 yards per play through three games, while Chicago is allowing 5.93. Yards per play strips out pace and is a cleaner read on defense than yardage totals, but three games still depends heavily on who was across the field. There is no prior-season number to anchor it. Chicago's defense has been the easier one to move the ball against, which matters for how many drives the Jets can sustain.

DAL: 7.3 sack yards lost per game to HOU's 23.3

DAL is at 7.3 sack yards lost per game over 3 games; HOU is at 23.3 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DAL was at 16 over 17 games and HOU at 20.8 over 17 games.

KC: 4.83 yards per rush attempt to LV's 3.23

Kansas City is getting nearly five yards a carry over three games, and Las Vegas is stuck near three. KC sat at 4.29 last season, so some of that early jump should cool off. LV was at 3.38, so its slow ground game looks like who it is. If the Raiders can't run, they lean on passing and KC controls the pace, which helps when you're thinking about clock and how the game script plays out.

Jeremy Ruckert (TE) is questionable for NYJ

Ruckert (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday. Reported Oct 1.

Colby Parkinson (TE) is questionable for LAR

Parkinson (knee/shoulder) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports. Reported Oct 1.

Eli Raridon (TE) is questionable for NE

Raridon is questionable with a thigh injury but was limited in Thursday's practice, so he is working. That points toward playing at Buffalo, though questionable leaves room for a late downgrade. His final practice status is the thing to check.

Kenyon Sadiq (TE) is questionable for NYJ

Sadiq (back) remained limited at practice Thursday. Reported Oct 1.

DAL: 75% red-zone scoring rate to HOU's 50%

DAL is at 75% red-zone scoring rate over 3 games; HOU is at 50% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DAL was at 56.9% over 17 games and HOU at 46.3% over 17 games.

Will Anderson Jr. (DE) is questionable for HOU

Anderson (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Reported Sep 30.

Christian Gonzalez (CB) is questionable for NE

Gonzalez did not practice Wednesday with a shoulder injury, and he is a starting cornerback for New England. Missing him against Buffalo would force the Patriots to cover with depth behind him. Whether he returns to practice later in the week is the signal that matters for how this secondary looks Sunday.

Brandin Echols (CB) is questionable for PIT

Pittsburgh cornerback Brandin Echols is questionable for Thursday at Cleveland with a concussion. A concussion requires clearing the league protocol, and the short week gives him little time. If he sits, the Steelers need another corner in coverage, though the sheet does not name one.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

Jamel Dean (CB) is questionable for PIT

Dean (ankle) has been ruled out from returning to Thursday's matchup versus Cleveland, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Reported Oct 2.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

JAX: 12 points allowed per game to CIN's 21

Jacksonville has allowed 12 points a game through three games, down from 19.8 last season. Cincinnati's defense is at 21, also better than its 28.9 from last season. Both defenses are well ahead of last year over just three games, so expect some pull back toward those older numbers. In a road game at CIN, the Jaguars' defense has the stronger track record, and the total is where that shows up most.

Yahya Black (DE) is questionable for PIT

The Steelers added Black to their injury report and list him as questionable for Thursday's game against the Browns due to a personal matter. Reported Oct 1.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

JAX: 12 points allowed a game to CIN's 21

Jacksonville's defense allows 12 points a game and Cincinnati's allows 21, over three games. Last season the Jaguars allowed 19.8 and the Bengals 28.9, so both defenses are better this year. Jacksonville's 12 is likely to rise. The Bengals' offense has to find points at home against a defense playing above last season.

BUF: 155 rushing yards per game to NE's 109.3

NE is at 109.3 rushing yards per game over 3 games; BUF is at 155 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NE was at 128.9 over 17 games and BUF at 159.6 over 17 games.

Deonte Banks (CB) is questionable for NYG

Banks is dealing with a calf issue and practiced on a limited basis Thursday. That is a decent sign for a player listed as questionable, though calf injuries can flare up again. Check the final status before the Cardinals game. If he is held out or his snaps are trimmed, the Giants have a less experienced cornerback taking those reps.

Andrew Thomas (OT) is questionable for NYG

Thomas, the Giants' left tackle, has a groin injury and did not practice Thursday, reported Oct 2. A missed practice makes questionable a real concern for Sunday against Arizona. Tackles protect the quarterback's blind side, so losing him can mean more pressure and a quicker, shorter passing game. Check Friday's report before betting on Giants passing numbers or Arizona sacks.

Jaxson Dart (QB) is on injured reserve for NYG

Dart had surgery to repair the meniscus and MCL in his left knee and is on injured reserve, so he will not play against Arizona. That is a long-term absence. The sheet does not name who starts at quarterback for the Giants, so confirm the starter before betting their offense.

Tyson Campbell (CB) is questionable for CLE

Campbell (knee) was estimated as a limited participant in Monday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Reported Sep 29.

P Edge side won; final 24-27

Jacob Monk (C) is questionable for GB

Jacob Monk picked up an undisclosed injury late in the Packers' 35-14 loss to the Falcons on Thursday. He is questionable for the Tampa Bay game, and the sheet gives no detail on how serious it is. A change at center can affect the whole line, so his final status is worth checking before this game.

Dre'Mont Jones (DE) is questionable for NE

Jones has a shoulder injury and was limited at Thursday's practice. Limited means he did some work, which usually points toward playing rather than sitting. Friday's practice report and the final designation for this game at Buffalo will say more. If he plays, keep in mind the shoulder could cut into his snaps.

Joey Porter Jr. (CB) is questionable for DAL

Porter is questionable with a back injury and could make his Cowboys debut Sunday against Houston. He has not played for Dallas yet, so even if active, his role in a first game is uncertain. Questionable here reads as a real chance to play.

Lukas Van Ness (DE) is questionable for GB

Van Ness was limited Thursday with a shoulder injury. A limited practice by a questionable player usually means he is trending toward playing at Tampa Bay. The final designation will settle it. If he plays at less than full strength, the Packers' pass rush could be a little lighter than usual.

Shavon Revel Jr. (CB) is questionable for DAL

Revel did not practice Thursday and has both a knee and an ankle injury, which puts his questionable tag on the doubtful side for now. If he can't practice later in the week, expect him to sit in Houston. In that case another Dallas cornerback takes his snaps, and that is an obvious spot to keep an eye on in the Texans' passing game.

Christian Benford (CB) is questionable for BUF

Benford (toe) did not participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday. Reported Oct 1.

Jalen Ramsey (CB) is questionable for PIT

Ramsey has a wrist injury and remains listed as questionable, but is expected to play Thursday against the Browns. That makes questionable here mostly a formality. Bettors can plan on Ramsey being in the Pittsburgh secondary unless the news changes.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

Josh Simmons (OT) is questionable for KC

Simmons is an offensive tackle managing a bulging disc in his lower back. Andy Reid said he would not practice Wednesday. He is questionable for the game at Las Vegas. Back issues can be unpredictable, and losing a starting tackle matters for protection up front. If he is ruled out, it is a reason to look harder at how the Chiefs' line holds up against the Raiders' pass rush.

Donte Jackson (CB) is questionable for LAC

Jackson (concussion) was a limited participant at the Chargers' practice Thursday. Reported Oct 2.

D.J. Reed (CB) is questionable for DET

Reed was limited Wednesday with a rib injury, so he got some work in. Rib injuries are often a matter of pain tolerance, and limited practice is a decent sign for him facing Carolina. If he is out or limited in snaps, the Lions' other corners have to cover more ground.

Monroe Freeling (OT) is questionable for CAR

Carolina tackle Monroe Freeling is questionable against Detroit after missing Wednesday's practice with a concussion. He has to clear the league protocol to play. With guard Damien Lewis already out, Carolina could be thin on the line in this game if Freeling sits too.

NE: 17 points allowed per game to BUF's 26

NE is at 17 points allowed per game over 3 games; BUF is at 26 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NE was at 18.8 over 17 games and BUF at 21.5 over 17 games.

TB: 35.7% third downs allowed to GB's 50%

Tampa is allowing 35.7% on third down over three games, and Green Bay is allowing 50%. Half of third downs converted is a high rate, but three games of third downs is a small sample, and these rates usually settle as the schedule evens out. There is no prior-season number here. Green Bay's defense has been letting drives continue, which matters for how long Tampa can hold the ball.

NO: 3.67 red-zone trips per game to ATL's 1.67

ATL is at 1.67 red-zone trips per game over 3 games; NO is at 3.67 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season ATL was at 2.94 over 17 games and NO at 2.65 over 17 games.

DET: 0.33 turnovers committed per game to CAR's 1.33

Detroit has one turnover across three games, and Carolina has four. Last season DET was at 0.88 a game and CAR at 1.35, so Carolina is right where it was and Detroit is running cleaner than usual. Turnover rates swing hard over small samples, so expect Detroit to give a few more away. Carolina's carelessness looks like a real habit, which favors the Lions in a close game.

GB: 1.33 turnovers committed per game to TB's 2.33

GB is at 1.33 turnovers committed per game over 3 games; TB is at 2.33 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season GB was at 0.76 over 17 games and TB at 0.94 over 17 games.

CAR: 2.33 takeaways per game to DET's 1.33

DET is at 1.33 takeaways per game over 3 games; CAR is at 2.33 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

MIN: 2 takeaways per game to MIA's 1

MIA is at 1 takeaways per game over 3 games; MIN is at 2 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

LAR: 1 takeaways per game to PHI's 0

The Rams have one takeaway a game over three games, and Philadelphia has none. Takeaways are among the streakiest numbers in football, and three games is a very small sample, so Philadelphia's zero is unlikely to last. Do not build much around this gap; turnovers swing on bounces more than on who the better defense is.

NYG: 18.3 points allowed per game to ARI's 27

The Giants are allowing 18.3 points a game over three games, well below the 25.8 they gave up last season. Arizona is at 27, close to its 28.7 from last season, so the Cardinals' defensive trouble looks steady. The Giants' improvement is the part most likely to slide, since three games doesn't override a full season. Arizona's offense facing that NYG defense is the matchup where the early numbers get tested.

SEA: 16.7 points allowed per game to LAC's 25.3

LAC is at 25.3 points allowed per game over 3 games; SEA is at 16.7 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season LAC was at 20 over 17 games and SEA at 17.2 over 17 games.

JAX: 29% third downs allowed to CIN's 43.6%

Jacksonville has let opponents convert just 29% of third downs over three games, while Cincinnati is allowing 43.6%. Third-down rates are noisy over three games and tend to drift toward average as the season goes on. No prior-season rate is supplied to compare against. Cincinnati's defense has been extending drives at a high rate, which favors Jacksonville staying on the field longer in this spot.

ARI: 210 team passing yards per game to NYG's 153

Arizona is throwing for 210 yards a game over three games, and the Giants are at 153. Both are down from last season, when ARI was at 232.6 and NYG at 204.4. The Giants' number is the bigger outlier and the likelier one to bounce back. Arizona still has the steadier passing attack heading into New York, but the gap probably narrows as the season goes on.

NYG: 18.3 points allowed a game to ARI's 27

The Giants allow 18.3 points a game and Arizona allows 27, over three games. Last season the Giants gave up 25.8 and the Cardinals 28.7, so New York's defense has improved and Arizona's looks about the same. Expect the Giants' number to rise some. Arizona's offense faces a better defense on the road, while the Giants should find points against a Cardinals defense that matches last season.

DET: 0.33 turnovers a game to CAR's 1.33

Detroit has turned it over 0.33 times a game and Carolina 1.33, over three games. Last season Detroit was at 0.88 and Carolina at 1.35, so the Panthers are right on their usual and the Lions are even cleaner. Detroit's number will likely rise some. Carolina has to protect the ball at home, since giveaways would hand extra possessions to a Lions team that rarely gives any back.

BUF: 1.67 turnovers committed per game to NE's 2.67

NE is at 2.67 turnovers committed per game over 3 games; BUF is at 1.67 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NE was at 0.94 over 17 games and BUF at 1.12 over 17 games.

BUF: 4 red-zone trips per game to NE's 2

NE is at 2 red-zone trips per game over 3 games; BUF is at 4 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NE was at 3.71 over 17 games and BUF at 3.82 over 17 games.

Blake Cashman (LB) is questionable for MIN

Cashman has an elbow injury and was limited Thursday. That level of practice usually means he is on track to play against Miami. An elbow is easier to play through than a leg injury, though it could affect his tackling. Watch for the final designation.

Marvin Mims Jr. (WR) is questionable for DEN

Denver lists Mims as questionable for the trip to San Francisco as of Sep 29, a true coin flip that can go either way by game day. The sheet names no injury. Hold any bet tied to Denver's receivers until the final status comes out.

DeMarvion Overshown (LB) is questionable for DAL

Overshown (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports. Reported Oct 1.

Mason Graham (DT) is questionable for CLE

Graham (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's Week 4 matchup versus Pittsburgh, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Reported Oct 2.

P Edge side won; final 24-27

Harmon (foot) has been ruled out from returning to Thursday's clash versus Cleveland, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports. Reported Oct 2.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

Chris Moore (WR) is questionable for BAL

BAL lists Chris Moore as questionable on the injury report. Reported Oct 2.

Barion Brown (WR) is questionable for NO

New Orleans lists Brown as questionable for the Falcons game as of Sep 29, with no injury named on the report. Questionable means a real chance to play or sit. Wait for the final status before backing any Saints receiver prop.

Josiah Trotter (LB) is questionable for TB

Trotter (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Reported Sep 30.

MIA: 192.3 team passing yards per game to MIN's 137

MIA is at 192.3 team passing yards per game over 3 games; MIN is at 137 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season MIA was at 180.5 over 17 games and MIN at 166.7 over 17 games.

Rueben Bain Jr. (LB) is questionable for TB

Bain (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Reported Sep 30.

Edgerrin Cooper (LB) is questionable for GB

Cooper (concussion/shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday. Reported Oct 2.

Jihaad Campbell (LB) is questionable for PHI

Campbell (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Reported Oct 1.

Dre Greenlaw (LB) is questionable for SF

Greenlaw (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Reported Oct 2.

Treydan Stukes (S) is questionable for LV

Stukes was a full participant Wednesday while coming back from a concussion, which is the step a player takes before being cleared. He still has to finish the protocol to face Kansas City. Full practice points toward him playing, so the remaining question is clearance.

Zack Baun (LB) is questionable for PHI

Baun (concussion) did not practice Thursday. Reported Oct 2.

Aaron Donald (DT) is questionable for LAR

Donald (back) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports. Reported Oct 1.

Derwin James Jr. (S) is questionable for LAC

James (hamstring) was a non-participant in practice Thursday. Reported Oct 2.

Ty Okada (S) is questionable for SEA

Okada (hamstring) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Reported Oct 2.

Julian Love (S) is questionable for SEA

Love (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Reported Oct 1.

Kamren Kinchens (S) is questionable for LAR

Kinchens (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Reported Oct 1.

Nate Landman (LB) is questionable for LAR

Landman (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Reported Oct 1.

Devin Lloyd (LB) is questionable for CAR

Devin Lloyd is dealing with a calf injury, and Dave Canales said Monday he was confident Lloyd would be back at practice before the Lions game. That leans toward him playing in Week 4. Watch whether he actually practices, since a calf can tighten up, and his availability matters against a Detroit offense the Panthers host.

Pete Werner (LB) is questionable for NO

Werner did not practice Thursday because of a neck injury, which makes his questionable tag lean toward him missing the game. He isn't the only New Orleans linebacker in trouble: Kaden Elliss also sat out Thursday. If both are out against Atlanta, the Saints' second level gets very thin.

Julian Blackmon (S) is questionable for NO

Blackmon was limited Thursday with a calf injury, so he did practice, which usually leans toward him playing. Calf injuries can flare up again, so check the final status. Combined with two linebackers who didn't practice Thursday, the middle of the Saints' defense is the unit to monitor going into the Atlanta game.

Kaden Elliss (LB) is questionable for NO

Elliss sat out Thursday with a calf injury, and so did Pete Werner with a neck injury, which means two Saints linebackers missed practice the same day. If he can't get on the field later in the week, his questionable tag points to him missing the game against Atlanta. Losing both linebackers would hand a lot of snaps to backups, so the Falcons' running game and short passes are worth keeping in mind.

NE (1-2) at BUF (3-0), a division game

Buffalo is unbeaten and has outscored teams by 23, while New England sits at -15 and has dropped both road games. Buffalo is 2-0 at home, so the split adds to the gap. Three games is a small sample, and division opponents know each other well, which can tighten games more than records suggest. The direction is clear, but the margin is the part to question when sizing up a big number.

CHI: 29.7 points per game to NYJ's 21.3

Chicago is scoring 29.7 a game over three games, up from 25.9 last season, and the Jets are at 21.3, up from 17.6. Both offenses are running ahead of last year, and three games is a short window, so some regression is likely on both sides. The Bears were the better offense last season too, and at home they should still set the scoring pace.

Tyler Nubin (S) is questionable for NYG

Nubin (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Reported Oct 1.

Mack Wilson Sr. (LB) is questionable for ARI

Cardinals linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. was limited in Wednesday's practice with a thumb injury and is questionable at the Giants. Limited participation is a better sign than missing practice, and thumb injuries can often be played through with a wrap or cast. He looks closer to playing than sitting, pending later practice reports.

Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (S) is questionable for ARI

Arizona safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson missed Wednesday's practice with a back injury and is questionable at the Giants. A missed practice early in the week is a mild warning sign. If he sits, Arizona needs another safety in the back of its defense, though the sheet does not say who.

Kyle Dugger (S) is questionable for CIN

Dugger did not practice Wednesday with a quadriceps injury, which is a shaky start to the week. Questionable leaves the door open against Jacksonville, but he needs to get on the field before Sunday. If he sits, Cincinnati's other safeties take over his role.

Grant Delpit (S) is questionable for CLE

Delpit (shoulder) was estimated as a limited participant in Monday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Reported Sep 29.

P Edge side won; final 24-27

Kingsley Enagbare (LB) is questionable for NYJ

Enagbare (knee) was unable to participate in practice Thursday. Reported Oct 1.

Minkah Fitzpatrick (S) is questionable for NYJ

Coach Aaron Glenn said Fitzpatrick (groin) will be limited in Wednesday's practice, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports. Reported Sep 30.

T.J. Sanders (DT) is questionable for BUF

Sanders (appendix) was a limited practice participant Thursday. Reported Oct 1.

Christian Barmore (DT) is questionable for NE

Barmore (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Reported Sep 30.

Percy Butler (S) is questionable for WSH

Butler is recovering from a concussion ahead of the Commanders' matchup in London against the Colts in Week 4, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports. Reported Sep 30.

Frankie Luvu (LB) is questionable for WSH

Luvu (groin) was a limited participant in practice Thursday. Reported Oct 1.

Chamarri Conner (S) is questionable for KC

Chamarri Conner has a knee injury but has a good chance to play Sunday against the Raiders, according to a report on Monday. Questionable with that kind of word from the team leans toward playing. The Chiefs secondary likely stays intact, though a final practice update would settle it.

Dondrea Tillman (LB) is questionable for DEN

Tillman (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Reported Oct 2.

Malik Hooker (S) is questionable for DAL

Hooker (forearm) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports. Reported Oct 1.

J.T. Realmuto: .197 OPS in Last 15 Days

Realmuto has barely reached base or hit for any power over the last 15 days, a .197 OPS that sits 0.417 below his .614 season mark. That stretch is 37 at-bats, small enough that a few dead outs drag the number to the floor. He should drift back toward .614, which is already a modest level. In PHI @ ATL, rate him off the season number and don't treat the slump as his new level.

P 0-for-3, 0 TB

Jackson Powers-Johnson (G) is questionable for LV

Jackson Powers-Johnson has a groin injury and was still being evaluated as of Sep 29. There is no timeline yet, so questionable is a genuine toss-up for the Chiefs game. If he sits, the Raiders have to patch the interior of their line, which is worth factoring into how Las Vegas moves the ball against Kansas City.

Caleb Williams is the projected starting quarterback for CHI

Through 2 games in 2026, Caleb Williams threw for 407 passing yards, completed 65.5% of his passes and averaged 7.4 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 3942 yards, completed 58.1% and averaged 6.94 yards per attempt, 27-7 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 2-1 touchdown-to-interception line is 2 games in. Caleb Williams is also listed d for this matchup.

Jayden Daniels is the projected starting quarterback for WSH

Through 2 games in 2026, Jayden Daniels threw for 260 passing yards, completed 56.9% of his passes and averaged 5.1 yards per attempt. Last season over 7 games he threw for 1262 yards, completed 60.6% and averaged 6.71 yards per attempt, 8-3 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 3-0 touchdown-to-interception line is 2 games in. Jayden Daniels is also listed q for this matchup.

Yahya Black

Not injury related - personal matter · Questionable

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

KC: 263 team passing yards per game to LV's 211.7

KC is at 263 team passing yards per game over 3 games; LV is at 211.7 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season KC was at 214.1 over 17 games and LV at 167.7 over 17 games.

SEA: 26.8% third downs allowed to LAC's 40%

Seattle is holding opponents to 26.8% on third down over three games, while the Chargers allow 40%. A rate that low is hard to keep up, and three games can reflect the offenses faced as much as the defense itself. With no prior-season rate supplied, expect Seattle's number to climb some. The Chargers' defense has been the easier one to extend drives against in this matchup.

PIT @ CLE carries a 38.5 market total

At 38.5, this game sits 7 points under the 45.5 slate median, so the market expects a slow game settled by field goals and a couple of long drives. The sheet gives no injury, pace or scoring history, so the number is the only evidence. For that low total to crack, one side needs short fields from turnovers or a defensive score. A bettor can ask how many points one extra touchdown moves this game, since 7 points is the whole gap to the median.

Tylan Wallace (WR) is inactive for CLE

Wallace (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Steelers. Reported Sep 30.

P Edge side won; final 24-27

HOU: 42.9% red-zone scoring allowed to DAL's 69.2%

DAL is at 69.2% red-zone scoring allowed over 3 games; HOU is at 42.9% over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

Reggie Gilliam (FB) is questionable for NE

Gilliam (knee) did not practice Thursday. Reported Oct 1.

GB @ TB carries a 38.5 market total

The current fanduel total is 38.5, 7 points below the 45.5 median across 16 games with posted totals on this slate.

Aaron Banks (G) is questionable for GB

Banks (toe/knee) did not practice Thursday. Reported Oct 2.

MIA @ MIN carries a 38.5 market total

The 38.5 total puts this game 7 points below the 45.5 median across 16 slate games, which prices it as a low-possession game with few explosive plays. The sheet has no team stats or injuries to explain it, so the gap in the number is the whole story here. It cracks if either offense hits big plays early and forces the other to chase. Think of it as a game where one quick score changes how both sides call the rest of it.

Lamar Jackson is the projected starting quarterback for BAL

Through 3 games in 2026, Lamar Jackson threw for 745 passing yards, completed 69.7% of his passes and averaged 9.8 yards per attempt. Last season over 13 games he threw for 2549 yards, completed 63.6% and averaged 8.44 yards per attempt, 21-7 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 4-1 touchdown-to-interception line is 3 games in. Lamar Jackson is also listed q for this matchup.

Jalen Ramsey

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

Zach Charbonnet (RB) is pup-r for SEA

Charbonnet (knee) was designated to return to practice Thursday. Reported Oct 1.

Jordyn Tyson (WR) is ir-r for NO

Tyson is on injured reserve with a designation to return, and he is dealing with a hamstring injury. Kellen Moore said Thursday that he does not expect Tyson to practice next week. That means he is out for the Atlanta game, and his return looks further off than a week or two. The Saints will lean on their other receivers, so their target shares are the ones to watch.

LAR: 6.33 yards per play to PHI's 5.33

The Rams are getting 6.33 yards a play over three games, close to their 6.15 last season, and the Eagles sit at 5.33, near their 5.27. Both match last year, so this gap looks real. In their last game the Rams had 7 plays of 20-plus yards, including a 49-yard Stafford throw to Davante Adams and a 30-yard Kyren Williams run, while Philadelphia had 2. Big plays look like the Rams' route to winning in Philadelphia.

NO: 1 interception thrown per game to ATL's 2

ATL is at 2 interceptions thrown per game over 3 games; NO is at 1 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season ATL was at 0.47 over 17 games and NO at 0.71 over 17 games.

CHI: 12.3 sack yards lost per game to NYJ's 24.3

NYJ is at 24.3 sack yards lost per game over 3 games; CHI is at 12.3 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NYJ was at 24.9 over 17 games and CHI at 12.7 over 17 games.

AFC WEST game: KC 1-0, LV 1-0 in the division

These two share the AFC WEST. KC is 1-0 against it, LV is 1-0. Current-2026 standings through 2026-09-30.

ATL: 35.7% third downs allowed to NO's 47.1%

Atlanta is allowing 35.7% on third down through three games, and New Orleans is allowing 47.1%. That gap is real so far, but three games is a short sample and the sheet does not show who each team faced. Without last season's numbers, both are likely to move. New Orleans' defense has been giving up drives, which helps Atlanta's offense stay on the field on the road.

JAX @ CIN carries a 51.5 market total

At 51.5, this is 6 points above the 45.5 slate median: the market expects both offenses to score and the game to run back and forth. The sheet offers no player or unit detail, so the price is the evidence. For the total to crack, drives have to stall into field goals or one side has to take over the clock with a lead. A bettor can watch the first few possessions: early punts matter more against a number set this high.

Bryce Harper: .609 OPS in Last 15 Days

Harper's .609 OPS over the last 15 days is a dip from his .865 season level, a drop of 0.256 across 48 at-bats. Forty-eight at-bats is a short window for a hitter whose full season sits well above average. Expect him to climb back toward .865. When you size up the Phillies lineup in Atlanta, weight Harper by his season form, and a market that marks him down for this stretch may be overreacting.

P 1-for-4, 2 TB

SEA: 6.13 yards per play to LAC's 5.23

Seattle is gaining 6.13 yards a play over three games, and the Chargers 5.23. Both are within a whisker of last season, SEA at 5.98 and LAC at 5.19, so this gap looks stable. Seattle's offense moves more efficiently, and at home that edge should carry into the matchup.

LAR: 21.3 first downs per game to PHI's 15.7

The Rams are moving the chains 21.3 times a game over three games, and the Eagles 15.7. Both are down a bit from last season, LAR at 23.3 and PHI at 18, so the gap is about the same as before. That points to the Rams sustaining longer drives and holding the ball more in Philadelphia, which shapes time of possession and pace.

BUF: 5 yards per rush attempt to NE's 3.87

NE is at 3.87 yards per rush attempt over 3 games; BUF is at 5 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NE was at 4.4 over 17 games and BUF at 4.97 over 17 games.

Mauricio Dubon: .994 OPS in Last 15 Days

Dubon has been squaring the ball up, a .994 OPS over 42 at-bats in the last 15 days against .719 for the season. Twelve home runs this year show the power comes in bursts, and 42 at-bats is too few to call this a new level, so expect a pullback toward .719. His total-bases line in PHI @ ATL is 1.5, which takes a double or two hits, a harder ask than a hot streak alone suggests.

WSH: 2.7 sack yards lost per game to IND's 13.7

Washington is losing 2.7 yards a game to sacks over three games, while the Colts lose 13.7. Last season WSH lost 12.5 and IND 15.1, so the Colts' number is normal and Washington's is unusually clean. Expect Washington's line to give up more as the sample grows. The Colts' protection issues look steady heading into this road game.

ATL: 13.7 sack yards lost per game to NO's 24.3

ATL is at 13.7 sack yards lost per game over 3 games; NO is at 24.3 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season ATL was at 12.9 over 17 games and NO at 18.7 over 17 games.

SF: 105.7 rushing yards allowed per game to DEN's 143.7

San Francisco has allowed 105.7 rushing yards a game over three games, and Denver has allowed 143.7. Rushing yards allowed depend heavily on game script, since teams protecting a lead run more, and three games does not settle that. No prior-season figure is supplied. Denver's run defense has been giving up more ground, which favors San Francisco leaning on the run in this matchup.

LAC has lost 3 straight

The Chargers are 0-3 and now go on the road to Seattle. Three games is a small sample, and without the opponents listed it is hard to tell whether this is a bad team or a tough early schedule. Winless road teams often get a generous spread, which is the number to weigh against how close those three losses were.

San Francisco is 3-0 and hosts Denver. Three games is a short stretch, and the sheet does not list the opponents, so it is unclear how tough the schedule has been. Unbeaten home teams often get a premium in the line, so check whether the price reflects the team or just the record.

LV has won 3 straight

LV carries a 3-game winning streak into this one, sitting at 3-0 on the season. They face KC in KC @ LV. Current-2026 standings through 2026-09-30.

BUF has won 3 straight

Buffalo is 3-0, which means they have not lost yet this season. Three games is a short run, and the fact sheet does not say who those wins came against, so it is hard to tell how much of the record was earned against strong opponents. Hosting NE, the question is whether the market has already priced in the hot start, since unbeaten teams often carry a premium in the line.

KC has won 3 straight

Kansas City is 3-0, including a win in its only division game. Three games is a short run and the opponents outside the division are not listed. Visiting LV, which is also 3-0, means one unbeaten record ends here, and a game between two hot starts is less likely to produce a lopsided line than either team's record suggests on its own.

MIN has won 3 straight

Minnesota is unbeaten at 3-0 and hosts Miami, which has yet to win. Three games is a small sample and the sheet does not list who the Vikings beat, so the strength of the record is unclear. Unbeaten home teams facing winless visitors usually carry a big number, and that gap is where the value question sits.

MIA has lost 3 straight

Miami is 0-3 and heads to Minnesota, which is 3-0. Three games is a short sample, and without the opponents listed it is hard to say how much of the gap is real. Winless against unbeaten tends to produce a wide spread, so the question is whether a three-game split has pushed the number further than it should.

HOU has lost 3 straight

Houston has lost all three games so far. That is a small sample, and the opponents are not listed, so the record may say as much about the schedule as about the team. Hosting DAL, a winless home team often gets a softer line than its talent warrants, which is the spot to check before assuming the slide continues.

TEN has lost 3 straight

Tennessee is 0-3 and now goes on the road to Baltimore. Three games is a short stretch, and the sheet does not show who beat them, so the record alone cannot say how far off this team is. A winless team traveling tends to draw a wide number, and the useful question for a bettor is whether that number has stretched past what three games can support.

IND: 36.4% third downs allowed to WSH's 47.1%

Indianapolis is allowing 36.4% on third down over three games, while Washington is allowing 47.1%. Third-down rates over three games bounce around with the opponents faced, and no prior-season number is supplied to compare. Washington's defense has been letting nearly half of third downs through, which favors Indianapolis sustaining drives in this game.

NO: 211.7 passing yards allowed per game to ATL's 263

New Orleans has allowed 211.7 passing yards a game over three games, while Atlanta has allowed 263. Passing yards allowed swing with game script: a defense with a lead sees more throws. Three games is a small sample and there is no prior-season number to check against. Atlanta's pass defense has been easier to throw on so far, which matters for how New Orleans attacks at home.

TB has lost 3 straight

Tampa Bay has not won yet, sitting 0-3. Three games is a small sample, and without the opponents listed it is unclear whether these were close losses to good teams or a sign of real trouble. Winless teams at home often get extra points from the market, so with GB visiting, the spread is worth comparing against how competitive those three losses actually were.

KC: 57.1% red-zone scoring allowed to LV's 77.8%

Kansas City has allowed scores on 57.1% of opponent red-zone trips over three games, while Las Vegas is at 77.8%. Red-zone rates come from a handful of trips per game, so three games is a very thin sample and both numbers can swing quickly. There is no prior-season rate to compare. Las Vegas has been the softer defense once opponents get close, which matters for whether Kansas City's drives end in touchdowns or field goals.

NYJ: 66.7% red-zone scoring rate to CHI's 50%

NYJ is at 66.7% red-zone scoring rate over 3 games; CHI is at 50% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NYJ was at 44.7% over 17 games and CHI at 58.2% over 17 games.

PHI: 66.7% red-zone scoring rate to LAR's 50%

LAR is at 50% red-zone scoring rate over 3 games; PHI is at 66.7% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season LAR was at 63.2% over 17 games and PHI at 70.5% over 17 games.

BAL: 66.7% red-zone scoring rate to TEN's 50%

TEN is at 50% red-zone scoring rate over 3 games; BAL is at 66.7% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season TEN was at 57.6% over 17 games and BAL at 47.5% over 17 games.

DET: 78.6% red-zone scoring rate to CAR's 61.5%

DET is at 78.6% red-zone scoring rate over 3 games; CAR is at 61.5% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DET was at 62.5% over 17 games and CAR at 53.3% over 17 games.

NO: 74 offensive plays per game to ATL's 63.3

ATL is at 63.3 offensive plays per game over 3 games; NO is at 74 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season ATL was at 61.6 over 17 games and NO at 63.2 over 17 games.

TEN: 19.7 points allowed per game to BAL's 26

TEN is at 19.7 points allowed per game over 3 games; BAL is at 26 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season TEN was at 28.1 over 17 games and BAL at 23.4 over 17 games.

B.J. Hill (DT) is questionable for CIN

CIN lists B.J. Hill as questionable on the injury report. Reported Sep 29.

KC: 7.93 yards per pass attempt to LV's 6.53

KC is at 7.93 yards per pass attempt over 3 games; LV is at 6.53 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season KC was at 5.65 over 17 games and LV at 4.94 over 17 games.

LAR: 7.37 yards per pass attempt to PHI's 5.93

LAR is at 7.37 yards per pass attempt over 3 games; PHI is at 5.93 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season LAR was at 7.24 over 17 games and PHI at 6.33 over 17 games.

LAC (0-3) at SEA (2-1)

The Chargers are 0-3 and -32, losing all three, including their one road game. Seattle is 2-1 and +25, coming off a loss but 1-0 at home. A single loss does not dent a +25 margin much. The Seahawks' scoring edge is the stronger read, and the Chargers have yet to show a game that changes it.

DEN (2-1) at SF (3-0)

DEN is 2-1, -10 points on the year, has won 2 straight this season. SF is 3-0, +48 points on the year, has won 3 straight this season. DEN is 0-1 on the road; SF is 2-0 at home.

MIA (0-3) at MIN (3-0)

This is the widest gap on the board: Miami is 0-3 at -50 and Minnesota is 3-0 at +30. Miami has lost both road games, and the Vikings won their one home game. The Dolphins are losing by a lot, not just losing. Three games can still swing, but this spot leans hard toward the home team, and the question is how much margin to trust.

DAL (1-2) at HOU (0-3)

Houston is 0-3 and -21, with both losses at home, so the venue has not helped them. Dallas is 1-2 but +6, which means their losses were close and the record undersells them. Dallas lost its one road game, a single result. The Cowboys' margin points to the better team, even arriving with the worse road mark.

TEN (0-3) at BAL (2-1)

Tennessee is 0-3 and -22, and the losing has been steady. Baltimore is 2-1 and +14, though the Ravens lost their only home game so far, a one-game sample that says little. The road team's form is the clearer read. A home spot that has not paid off yet is less of a factor than Tennessee's three straight losses.

JAX (2-1) at CIN (2-1)

Same 2-1 records, but Jacksonville is +46 and Cincinnati is +17, so the Jaguars have won by more. Cincinnati comes in off a loss, while Jacksonville comes off a win and lost its only road game. With one road game and one home game behind these splits, venue tells you little. The point differential is the stronger signal here, and it leans toward the road team looking better than the matchup of records implies.

NYJ (1-2) at CHI (2-1)

The records sit one game apart, but the point totals do not: Chicago is +36 while the Jets are +3 despite a losing record. New York's two straight losses look closer than 1-2 implies, and both teams are 1-1 in their road or home spot, so the venue adds little. Chicago's edge is real on margin, and the Jets' +3 says their record may undersell them a bit.

ATL has 3 more days of rest

Atlanta comes in on 7 days and New Orleans on just 4, a 3-day gap in a division game. A short week usually means walkthroughs instead of full practices and less time to install anything new against a familiar opponent. That gap is set by the calendar and will not change. A bettor can weigh it as a modest preparation edge for the road side.

GB has 3 more days of rest

Green Bay gets a full week to prepare while Tampa Bay turns around on 4 days, a 3-day gap. The extra time usually shows up in cleaner game plans and fresher legs, while the short-week side often trims practice and leans on simpler calls. The rest gap is fixed, so it holds. Think of it as a small edge toward the more rested road team, one piece of the picture rather than the whole handicap.

The Raiders placed Bech (forearm) on injured reserve Tuesday. Reported Sep 29.

DET @ CAR carries a 50.5 market total

At 50.5, this sits five points above the 45.5 median across 16 games, so the market expects points to come in bunches, with both offenses finishing drives in the end zone. The sheet carries no player or unit detail behind it, only where it sits on the slate. The expectation cracks if one side controls the clock or red zone trips stall into field goals. A high total leaves less room for the over, so a slow first half matters more here.

ARI: 1.33 sacks recorded per game to NYG's 0.33

Arizona is averaging 1.33 sacks a game over three games, while the Giants are at 0.33, one sack total. Both pass rushes are light, and three games is too short to call either one a true level. Sack counts move with opponents and game script. The Giants generating so little pressure means the Arizona quarterback has had clean pockets to work with in this type of matchup.

WSH: 1 sack taken per game to IND's 2

IND is at 2 sacks taken per game over 3 games; WSH is at 1 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season IND was at 2.07 over 17 games and WSH at 2.31 over 17 games.

CHI: 2 sacks taken per game to NYJ's 3

NYJ is at 3 sacks taken per game over 3 games; CHI is at 2 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NYJ was at 3.75 over 17 games and CHI at 1.85 over 17 games.

JAX: 1.33 sacks taken per game to CIN's 2.33

Jacksonville is taking 1.33 sacks a game over three games, a big drop from 3.42 last season. Cincinnati is at 2.33, close to its 2.12. The Jaguars' improvement could be real, but three games is not enough to erase a full season of heavy pressure. Expect Jacksonville's sack rate to drift up somewhat in Cincinnati.

LAR: 1.67 sacks taken per game to PHI's 2.67

LAR is at 1.67 sacks taken per game over 3 games; PHI is at 2.67 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season LAR was at 1.77 over 17 games and PHI at 2.33 over 17 games.

ATL: 2.33 sacks taken per game to NO's 3.33

ATL is at 2.33 sacks taken per game over 3 games; NO is at 3.33 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season ATL was at 1.86 over 17 games and NO at 3.06 over 17 games.

NYG: 5.77 yards per play allowed to ARI's 6.57

The Giants are allowing 5.77 yards per play over three games, and Arizona is allowing 6.57. Neither is a stingy number, and the gap between them is modest. Three games depends a lot on the offenses faced, and no prior-season figure is supplied. Arizona's defense has been the easier one to move the ball against, so the Giants' offense has the better matchup on a per-play basis.

KC is at 0.67 turnovers committed per game over 3 games; LV is at 1.33 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season KC was at 0.88 over 17 games and LV at 1.35 over 17 games.

ARI is at 21 points per game over 3 games; NYG is at 15.3 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season ARI was at 20.9 over 17 games and NYG at 22.4 over 17 games.

SEA: 1.33 turnovers committed per game to LAC's 2

LAC is at 2 turnovers committed per game over 3 games; SEA is at 1.33 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season LAC was at 1.24 over 17 games and SEA at 1.65 over 17 games.

JAX: 0 fumbles lost per game to CIN's 0.67

JAX is at 0 fumbles lost per game over 3 games; CIN is at 0.67 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season JAX was at 0.35 over 17 games and CIN at 0.41 over 17 games.

ATL (1-2) at NO (1-2), a division game

Same 1-2 records, but New Orleans is -2 while Atlanta is -17, so the Saints have played closer games. Atlanta comes in off a win and is 1-1 on the road, while New Orleans lost its one home game. In a division game with records this even, the point margin is the cleaner tiebreaker, and it favors the home side.

MIA: 5.07 yards per play to MIN's 4.3

Miami is gaining 5.07 yards a play over three games, and Minnesota 4.3. Both are below last season, MIA at 5.4 and MIN at 4.82, so neither offense is fully clicking. Each had 3 plays of 20-plus yards in its last game, Miami through Malik Willis deep throws and Minnesota with Kyler Murray hitting Jordan Addison twice. The efficiency gap is modest, and both teams look reliant on explosive passes.

NE: 49.7 penalty yards per game to BUF's 73

NE is at 49.7 penalty yards per game over 3 games; BUF is at 73 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NE was at 50.2 over 17 games and BUF at 49.9 over 17 games.

ARI: 44.8% third downs allowed to NYG's 54.5%

Arizona's defense has let opponents convert 44.8% of third downs over three games, and the Giants have allowed 54.5%, meaning more than half of third downs against New York keep the drive alive. Both numbers are high, and three games is a short sample that depends heavily on which offences showed up. In this matchup, expect drives to stay on the field, which points toward long possessions rather than quick punts.

BAL: 4 red-zone trips per game to TEN's 2.67

TEN is at 2.67 red-zone trips per game over 3 games; BAL is at 4 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season TEN was at 1.94 over 17 games and BAL at 3.47 over 17 games.

LAC: 2 takeaways per game to SEA's 1.33

LAC is at 2 takeaways per game over 3 games; SEA is at 1.33 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

SF: 0.67 turnovers committed per game to DEN's 1.33

DEN is at 1.33 turnovers committed per game over 3 games; SF is at 0.67 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DEN was at 1 over 17 games and SF at 1.29 over 17 games.

DEN: 1.33 takeaways per game to SF's 0.67

Denver has forced 1.33 turnovers a game over three games, double San Francisco's 0.67. Takeaways are one of the noisiest defensive stats, and a three-game sample can flip with one strip or one bad throw. Denver's defense has been creating extra possessions so far, but a bettor should treat that edge as small and expect both sides to drift toward the middle.

WSH: 1 takeaways per game to IND's 0.33

Washington has forced one turnover a game across three games, while Indianapolis has one takeaway total over the same stretch. Three games is a small window, and takeaways swing on tipped balls and fumble bounces more than almost any other defensive number, so both figures can move fast. For this game, Washington's edge is real on paper but thin, and the Colts' low count says more about luck so far than a broken unit.

NYJ: 0.33 turnovers committed per game to CHI's 1

NYJ is at 0.33 turnovers committed per game over 3 games; CHI is at 1 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NYJ was at 1.35 over 17 games and CHI at 0.65 over 17 games.

TEN is at 44.3 penalty yards per game over 3 games; BAL is at 66 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season TEN was at 59.5 over 17 games and BAL at 43.9 over 17 games.

Grey Zabel (G) is questionable for SEA

SEA lists Grey Zabel as questionable on the injury report. Reported Sep 30.

DAL: 5.53 yards per play to HOU's 4.8

Dallas moves the ball better, 5.53 yards a play to Houston's 4.8 over 3 games, though both teams sit a bit under their marks from last season (5.96 and 5.1). Each had only 2 plays of 20+ yards last time out, with Dak Prescott's 49-yarder to CeeDee Lamb the biggest. Both numbers look likely to drift back up toward last season. With few explosives on either side, this sets up as a game of long drives where Dallas has the edge per snap.

John Simpson (G) is questionable for BAL

BAL lists John Simpson as questionable on the injury report. Reported Sep 30.

CHI: 5.83 yards per play to NYJ's 5.1

The Jets are the story here: 5.1 yards a play over 3 games after sitting at 4.36 last season, while Chicago is right where it was at 5.71. New York's last game had 6 plays of 20+ yards, with Geno Smith hitting Kenyon Sadiq for 43 and a 24-yard score, so the jump leans on chunk throws. Three games of shot plays can cool off fast. Chicago's offense looks like the steadier one, so expect the Bears to set the pace while the Jets need the deep ball to land.

PIT: 49.3 penalty yards per game to CLE's 69.7

Cleveland is giving away 69.7 penalty yards a game over 3 games, way up from 49.4 last season, while Pittsburgh is steady at 49.3 against 47.2. Three games is a small sample, and Cleveland's jump looks more like noise than a new identity. If the Browns keep handing out free yards at home, it extends Pittsburgh drives and kills their own, which matters most in a tight, low-margin divisional game.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

GB: 2 fourth-down attempts per game to TB's 1

GB is at 2 fourth-down attempts per game over 3 games; TB is at 1 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season GB was at 1.47 over 17 games and TB at 1.71 over 17 games.

SF: 4.9 yards per play allowed to DEN's 5.57

DEN is at 5.57 yards per play allowed over 3 games; SF is at 4.9 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

LAR: 4.5 yards per play allowed to PHI's 5.17

The Rams allow 4.5 yards per play over three games, a stingy mark, while the Eagles sit at 5.17. Yards per play is steadier than turnover numbers, so a gap of this size after three games carries some weight, though the offences faced shape it heavily. In this game the Rams' defense is the tighter unit on a per-snap basis, which matters most if the game turns into a grind.

PIT: 4.27 yards per rush attempt to CLE's 3.43

Pittsburgh runs for 4.27 a carry over 3 games, almost exactly its 4.26 from last season, so that number looks real. Cleveland is at 3.43, down from 3.9, which is a 3-game dip that could bounce back some. The Steelers look like the team that can lean on the ground game and control the tempo, while the Browns may get pushed toward passing on schedule.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

DET: 0 interceptions thrown per game to CAR's 0.67

DET is at 0 interceptions thrown per game over 3 games; CAR is at 0.67 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DET was at 0.47 over 17 games and CAR at 0.71 over 17 games.

Bryson Stott: .941 OPS in Last 15 Days

Stott has a .941 OPS over 41 at-bats in the last 15 days, 0.205 above his .736 season mark. At 41 at-bats, a couple of extra-base hits can swing that a long way, and 10 home runs on the year point to modest pop. The number should settle back toward .736. Tonight at Atlanta his 1.5 total-bases line needs a double or two singles, so the hot stretch earns a look at the price and no more than that.

SEA: 87 rushing yards allowed per game to LAC's 116.3

LAC is at 116.3 rushing yards allowed per game over 3 games; SEA is at 87 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

NYJ: 87.3 rushing yards allowed per game to CHI's 117

The Jets allow 87.3 rushing yards a game over three games, about 30 fewer than Chicago's 117. Rushing yards allowed also depend on game script: teams that trail run less, so a low number can come partly from opponents playing from behind. In this spot, the Jets' run defense has the cleaner numbers, while Chicago's front looks more open to a team willing to keep handing it off.

Brett Thorson (P) is questionable for MIN

MIN lists Brett Thorson as questionable on the injury report. Reported Sep 29.

Through 3 games in 2026, Deshaun Watson threw for 587 passing yards, completed 68.3% of his passes and averaged 7.16 yards per attempt. His 5-1 touchdown-to-interception line rounds out the current sample without turning an early-season profile into a settled one.

Jalon Daniels is the projected starting quarterback for TB

In his first 2026 game, Jalon Daniels threw for 0 passing yards, completed 0% of his passes and averaged 0 yards per attempt. His 0-1 touchdown-to-interception line comes from a one-game sample, so the relationship between completion rate and per-throw production is still an early read.

Cam Ward is the projected starting quarterback for TEN

Through 3 games in 2026, Cam Ward threw for 504 passing yards, completed 62.5% of his passes and averaged 5.73 yards per attempt.

GB (1-2) at TB (0-3)

Green Bay is 1-2 and -35, the worse margin even with the better record. Tampa Bay is 0-3 at -17 and 0-2 at home, so the home field has not helped. The Packers have been beaten badly at least once, while the Buccaneers' losses look closer. Neither team arrives with much, and Green Bay's record looks better than its margin.

CHI: 4 red-zone trips per game to NYJ's 3

NYJ is at 3 red-zone trips per game over 3 games; CHI is at 4 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NYJ was at 2.24 over 17 games and CHI at 3.24 over 17 games.

TEN: 55.6% red-zone scoring allowed to BAL's 70%

Tennessee allows scores on 55.6% of opponents' red-zone trips over three games, well below Baltimore's 70%. Red-zone rates swing hard on a handful of trips, so three games is a thin base and both numbers can move quickly. In this matchup, Baltimore's defense has been the leakier one near the goal line so far, which matters when thinking about field goals versus touchdowns.

PIT (2-1) at CLE (2-1), a division game

Both teams are 2-1 with negative point totals, Pittsburgh at -7 and Cleveland at -17. Both records flatter the play. Cleveland has won two straight and is 1-0 at home, while Pittsburgh lost its one road game. A division game between two teams winning close or getting blown out once leans toward a tight spot, not a mismatch.

P Edge side won; final 24-27

DAL: 50% fourth-down conversion rate to HOU's 28.6%

DAL is at 50% fourth-down conversion rate over 3 games; HOU is at 28.6% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DAL was at 62.9% over 17 games and HOU at 57.9% over 17 games.

BAL: 59.3 offensive plays per game to TEN's 52.3

TEN is at 52.3 offensive plays per game over 3 games; BAL is at 59.3 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season TEN was at 59.1 over 17 games and BAL at 57.3 over 17 games.

Trey Pipkins III (OT) is on injured reserve for LAC

The Chargers placed Pipkins (knee) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Sep 26.

LAR: 101.3 rushing yards allowed per game to PHI's 127.3

The Rams allow 101.3 rushing yards a game over three games, while the Eagles allow 127.3. Run totals move with game script, and a team protecting a lead faces more carries, so part of Philadelphia's number may reflect how its games played out. Here, the Rams' run defense has been firmer, and the Eagles' front looks like the softer spot for a ground-heavy plan.

Omar Cooper Jr. (WR) is on injured reserve for NYJ

The Jets are expected to place Cooper (ankle) on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Reported Sep 19.

Jordan Hancock (CB) is on injured reserve for BUF

The Bills placed Hancock (hamstring) on injured reserve Friday. Reported Sep 26.

NE: 4.87 yards per play allowed to BUF's 5.43

New England allows 4.87 yards per play over three games, Buffalo allows 5.43. Three games is enough to start trusting yards per play more than most stats, but who each defense faced still drives a chunk of it. On a per-snap basis the Patriots' defense has been tougher so far, which leans toward New England keeping this game tighter than the Bills' offence would like.

Jonathon Brooks (RB) is on injured reserve for CAR

Brooks is expected to undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a core-muscle injury and is likely to miss at least six weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Reported Sep 23.

De'Zhaun Stribling (WR) is on injured reserve for SF

The 49ers placed Stribling (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Sep 19.

Nick Samac (C) is on injured reserve for MIN

The Vikings placed Samac (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports. Reported Sep 26.

NYJ: 171 passing yards allowed per game to CHI's 207

NYJ is at 171 passing yards allowed per game over 3 games; CHI is at 207 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

KC: 4.6 yards per play allowed to LV's 5.17

KC is at 4.6 yards per play allowed over 3 games; LV is at 5.17 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

Kelvin Banks Jr. (OT) is on injured reserve for NO

Banks (ankle) underwent surgery this week, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Reported Sep 26.

Jordan Davis (DT) is questionable for PHI

PHI lists Jordan Davis as questionable on the injury report.

ARI: 3.67 red-zone trips per game to NYG's 2.67

ARI is at 3.67 red-zone trips per game over 3 games; NYG is at 2.67 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season ARI was at 3.59 over 17 games and NYG at 3.47 over 17 games.

HOU: 5.53 yards per play allowed to DAL's 6.03

DAL is at 6.03 yards per play allowed over 3 games; HOU is at 5.53 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

CAR: 6.1 yards per play to DET's 5.6

Carolina is at 6.1 yards a play over 3 games, a big leap from 4.92 last season, while Detroit has slipped to 5.6 from 5.97. Three games is a short run, and a jump that large for Carolina is the number most likely to come back down. Detroit's track record says its offense is closer to last season's level, so be careful letting three weeks of Panthers efficiency outweigh a full season.

ARI: 66.7 offensive plays per game to NYG's 60.3

ARI is at 66.7 offensive plays per game over 3 games; NYG is at 60.3 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season ARI was at 63.2 over 17 games and NYG at 63.8 over 17 games.

PIT: 192.7 passing yards allowed per game to CLE's 224

Pittsburgh allows 192.7 passing yards a game over three games, Cleveland allows 224. Passing totals depend on which quarterbacks a defense faced and how often opponents had to throw from behind, so three games leaves a lot to schedule. Pittsburgh's pass defense has held up better so far, and Cleveland's coverage looks like the more attackable side in this game.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

JAX: 52.9% third-down conversion rate to CIN's 46.3%

JAX is at 52.9% third-down conversion rate over 3 games; CIN is at 46.3% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season JAX was at 39.2% over 17 games and CIN at 43.4% over 17 games.

CLE +2.5 → +2.5

Gary's number was 2.5; the same book now shows 2.5.

NYG: 104.3 rushing yards allowed per game to ARI's 127.7

ARI is at 127.7 rushing yards allowed per game over 3 games; NYG is at 104.3 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

CAR: 27.7 points allowed per game to DET's 31.7

DET is at 31.7 points allowed per game over 3 games; CAR is at 27.7 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DET was at 24.3 over 17 games and CAR at 22.4 over 17 games.

HOU: 30:05 time of possession per game to DAL's 27:30

DAL is at 27:30 time of possession per game over 3 games; HOU is at 30:05 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DAL was at 30:48 over 17 games and HOU at 31:49 over 17 games.

JAX: 22.3 first downs per game to CIN's 19

JAX is at 22.3 first downs per game over 3 games; CIN is at 19 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season JAX was at 20.9 over 17 games and CIN at 20.7 over 17 games.

GB: 5.93 yards per pass attempt to TB's 5.03

GB is at 5.93 yards per pass attempt over 3 games; TB is at 5.03 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season GB was at 6.85 over 17 games and TB at 6.04 over 17 games.

TB: 26.3 points allowed per game to GB's 30.3

GB is at 30.3 points allowed per game over 3 games; TB is at 26.3 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season GB was at 21.2 over 17 games and TB at 24.2 over 17 games.

DAL: 207.3 passing yards allowed per game to HOU's 238.7

DAL is at 207.3 passing yards allowed per game over 3 games; HOU is at 238.7 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

IND: 2.33 sacks recorded per game to WSH's 1.67

IND is at 2.33 sacks recorded per game over 3 games; WSH is at 1.67 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

BUF: 3 sacks recorded per game to NE's 2.33

Buffalo has recorded 3 sacks a game over three games, New England 2.33. Sacks swing with opponents' offensive lines and how often they dropped back, and three games is a short window. Both pass rushes have been active, with Buffalo's slightly more so, which puts pressure on each quarterback to get the ball out quickly in this matchup.

CIN: 3.33 sacks recorded per game to JAX's 2.67

Cincinnati has 3.33 sacks a game over three games, Jacksonville 2.67. Sack rates are streaky and depend on the lines and quarterbacks faced, so three games tells you more about the start than the season. Both fronts have been getting home, and Cincinnati's edge suggests the Jaguars' protection is the bigger worry in this game.

DEN: 2.67 sacks recorded per game to SF's 2

DEN is at 2.67 sacks recorded per game over 3 games; SF is at 2 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

NO: 2.33 sacks recorded per game to ATL's 1.67

ATL is at 1.67 sacks recorded per game over 3 games; NO is at 2.33 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

ATL: 50% red-zone scoring allowed to NO's 61.5%

ATL is at 50% red-zone scoring allowed over 3 games; NO is at 61.5% over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

NYJ: 75% fourth-down conversion rate to CHI's 57.1%

NYJ is at 75% fourth-down conversion rate over 3 games; CHI is at 57.1% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season NYJ was at 43.9% over 17 games and CHI at 51.7% over 17 games.

JAX: 40.3 penalty yards per game to CIN's 55

JAX is at 40.3 penalty yards per game over 3 games; CIN is at 55 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season JAX was at 63.5 over 17 games and CIN at 37.2 over 17 games.

BAL: 105 rushing yards allowed per game to TEN's 126.3

Baltimore allows 105 rushing yards a game over three games, Tennessee allows 126.3. Rushing totals lean on game script, since defenses that fall behind early face fewer runs, so three games can tilt this either way. Baltimore's run defense has held up better so far, and Tennessee's front looks easier to grind against in this matchup.

PIT: 33.3% third downs allowed to CLE's 39%

Pittsburgh holds opponents to 33.3% on third down over three games, Cleveland allows 39%. Both are solid marks, and three games is a short sample that rides on the offences faced. Pittsburgh has been the better unit at getting off the field, which points toward shorter drives for Cleveland's offence in this game.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

TEN: 189 passing yards allowed per game to BAL's 216.3

Tennessee allows 189 passing yards a game over three games, Baltimore allows 216.3. Passing totals depend heavily on opposing quarterbacks and on whether opponents were throwing to catch up, so three games leaves room for schedule. The Titans' pass defense has the lower number so far, while Baltimore's secondary looks like the more attackable unit in this matchup.

IND: 33.3 penalty yards per game to WSH's 46.7

IND is at 33.3 penalty yards per game over 3 games; WSH is at 46.7 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season IND was at 51.2 over 17 games and WSH at 53.7 over 17 games.

IND: 1.67 fourth-down attempts per game to WSH's 1

IND is at 1.67 fourth-down attempts per game over 3 games; WSH is at 1 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season IND was at 1.59 over 17 games and WSH at 1.53 over 17 games.

JAX: 7.1 yards per pass attempt to CIN's 6.33

JAX is at 7.1 yards per pass attempt over 3 games; CIN is at 6.33 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season JAX was at 6.42 over 17 games and CIN at 5.81 over 17 games.

LAC: 4.2 yards per rush attempt to SEA's 3.63

LAC is at 4.2 yards per rush attempt over 3 games; SEA is at 3.63 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season LAC was at 4.58 over 17 games and SEA at 4.17 over 17 games.

GB: 5.17 yards per play to TB's 4.73

Green Bay holds a 5.17 to 4.73 edge per play over 3 games, but both offenses are down from last season (5.61 and 5.12). Each hit big throws last time out: Jordan Love found Matthew Golden for 45 and Christian Watson twice, while Baker Mayfield hit Ted Hurst III for a 40-yard score. With both teams below their usual levels, this could play bigger than the early numbers suggest if the downfield shots keep connecting.

PIT: 33.3% red-zone scoring allowed to CLE's 44.4%

PIT is at 33.3% red-zone scoring allowed over 3 games; CLE is at 44.4% over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

P Edge side lost; final 24-27

JAX: 10.3 sack yards lost per game to CIN's 15.7

JAX is at 10.3 sack yards lost per game over 3 games; CIN is at 15.7 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season JAX was at 20.6 over 17 games and CIN at 14.1 over 17 games.

GB: 14.7 sack yards lost per game to TB's 20

GB is at 14.7 sack yards lost per game over 3 games; TB is at 20 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season GB was at 16.3 over 17 games and TB at 15.9 over 17 games.

DET is at 24.7 first downs per game over 3 games; CAR is at 22 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season DET was at 20.4 over 17 games and CAR at 18 over 17 games.

LAR: 50% fourth-down conversion rate to PHI's 33.3%

Tyler Smith (G) is on injured reserve for DAL

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Tuesday that Smith (thumb) is progressing well and could return from injured reserve for the team's Week 5 game against the Buccaneers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Reported Sep 30.

MIN: 85.7 rushing yards allowed per game to MIA's 104.3

MIA is at 104.3 rushing yards allowed per game over 3 games; MIN is at 85.7 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Sep 30.

KC: 32:07 time of possession per game to LV's 30:03

KC is at 32:07 time of possession per game over 3 games; LV is at 30:03 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Sep 30. Last season KC was at 30:09 over 17 games and LV at 28:03 over 17 games.

Micheal Clemons (DE) is on injured reserve for IND

Clemons (toe) was placed on injured reserve by the Colts on Tuesday. Reported Sep 23.

CHI is on a short week

Both sides are on short rest, but Chicago has it worse: 3 days against 4 for the Jets. One extra day is small, though on a turnaround this tight it can matter for recovery and travel. The difference is real and fixed, just narrow, so it is a tiebreaker more than a reason to bet.

PHI is on a short week

LAR comes in on a short week (4 days since its last game); PHI on a short week (3 days since its last game).

LAR (1-2) at PHI (2-1)

Philadelphia is 2-1 but -14, which means the Eagles are winning close and losing big. The Rams are 1-2 and only -2, so their record undersells them. Both teams come in off a loss. The Eagles' 1-0 home mark is one game, and the margins suggest these teams are closer than the records say.

KC (3-0) at LV (3-0), a division game

Two unbeaten division teams with nearly matching margins: Kansas City +38 and Las Vegas +34. Both have won three straight, the Chiefs 1-0 on the road and the Raiders 1-0 at home. Records and margins line up evenly, so nothing here separates them. One of these streaks ends, and the split offers no edge either way.

Will Johnson (CB) is on injured reserve for ARI

The Cardinals placed Johnson (neck) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Reported Sep 23.

Paulson Adebo (CB) is on injured reserve for NYG

The Giants placed Adebo (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports. Reported Sep 19.

Gavin Stone

Stone's shoulder rehab window closes in two days, but we have no season line to evaluate. You don't stash blind in October unless you're already locked in with roster flexibility. That's not the data we're working with here. No stash

A.J. Terrell Jr. (CB) is on injured reserve for ATL

The Falcons placed Terrell (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. Reported Sep 22.

Avonte Maddox (CB) is on injured reserve for DET

T.J. Tampa (CB) is on injured reserve for BAL

The Ravens placed Tampa (knee) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Sep 19.

David Onyemata (DT) is on injured reserve for NYJ

Onyemata (groin) underwent core-muscle surgery Wednesday, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports. Reported Sep 23.

Dell Pettus (S) is on injured reserve for NE

The Patriots placed Pettus (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday. Reported Sep 24.

C.J. West (DT) is on injured reserve for SF

The 49ers placed West (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday. Reported Sep 23.

Ronnie Harrison Jr. (LB) is on injured reserve for MIA

The Dolphins placed Harrison (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Sep 19.

ARI (1-2) at NYG (2-1)

The Giants are 2-1 and 2-0 at home, but -9 on the year, so their record flatters them. Arizona is 1-2 and -18 on a two-game skid, though 1-1 on the road. The home split is the Giants' clearest edge. Their negative margin is the reason to be careful about how much it means.

DET (2-1) at CAR (1-2)

Detroit is 2-1 but -2, while Carolina is 1-2 but +6, so the records point opposite to the margins. The Lions lost their only road game, and the Panthers lost their only home game, both single results. These teams look closer than one game apart, with Carolina's record underselling them.

Mike Onwenu (G) is on injured reserve for NE

The Patriots placed Onwenu (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday. Reported Sep 23.

Anthony Bradford (G) is on injured reserve for SEA

The Seahawks placed Bradford (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Reported Sep 24.

Zach Wood (LS) is on injured reserve for NO

The Saints placed Wood (calf) on injured reserve Friday. Reported Sep 19.

PIT and CLE are even since 2025

Both meetings last season were low-scoring and the home team won each time: Pittsburgh beat Cleveland 23-9 in October, then managed only 6 points in a 13-6 loss in Cleveland on Dec 28. That is two games, so it says more about how these defenses travel than about either offense. Cleveland held Pittsburgh to 6 at home last time, and this one is in Cleveland, so a grinding, low-total game is the shape these meetings have taken.

P Edge side won; final 24-27

KC and LV are even since 2025

The two meetings could hardly look more different. KC won the Oct 19 game at home 31-0, then lost the Jan 4 rematch in Las Vegas 12-14 in a low-scoring, two-point game. That gives two games, one blowout and one coin flip, and the home side won both. For this trip to Las Vegas, the closer January game is the better guide to what a road game in this series can look like.

DET is on a short week

Detroit and Carolina both play on 4 days of rest. With equal spacing, neither side gets a recovery or preparation edge. Look to the matchup rather than the calendar.

TEN is on a short week

Tennessee and Baltimore both play on 4 days of rest, so the calendar is level. Short weeks tend to compress game plans for both teams. Schedule spacing offers no edge in this game.

DAL is on a short week

Dallas and Houston both come in on 4 days, a short week for each with a short trip for the road side. Rest is even, so this one comes down to the matchup rather than the calendar.

ARI is on a short week

Arizona and the Giants both come in on 4 days, though Arizona makes the long cross-country trip on that short week. Rest is even on paper, and travel is the only schedule wrinkle here.

KC is on a short week

Kansas City and Las Vegas both come in on 4 days, and as division rivals the familiarity eases the short prep window. Rest is even, so the calendar gives neither side an edge.

MIA is on a short week

Miami and Minnesota both play on 4 days of rest. Neither side gains time to prepare or recover, so the schedule is neutral. Weigh other factors for this one.

JAX is on a short week

Jacksonville and Cincinnati both play on 4 days of rest. Even spacing means neither side gets a preparation or recovery edge from the schedule. Any advantage has to come from the matchup itself.

NE is on a short week

New England and Buffalo both come in on 4 days, and as division rivals they already know each other well, which softens the short-prep issue. Rest is even, so it does not tilt this matchup either way.

IND is on a short week

Indianapolis and Washington both play on 4 days of rest, so the calendar is even. Both staffs will likely keep plans simple with limited practice time. Look elsewhere for an edge in this one.

NE and BUF are even since 2025

These two played a pair of tight, high-scoring games last season, both decided by four points or fewer, and the road team won each one: New England won 23-20 in Buffalo, then Buffalo won 35-31 in New England. With only two meetings, there is no edge either way, just a pattern of close finishes. For a bettor, a series where both games landed within a field goal or so makes the points spread the number to study more than the winner.

PIT is on a short week

Pittsburgh and Cleveland both come in on 4 days, so neither side gets a rest edge. Short weeks tend to mean simpler game plans and less practice time for both. That can favor a lower-scoring, conservative game, but schedule alone gives no side an advantage.

P Edge side won; final 24-27

DEN is on a short week

Denver and San Francisco both play on 4 days of rest. Even spacing means a neutral schedule spot, with simpler game plans likely on both sides. The edge, if any, lies elsewhere.

ATL lead the series with NO since 2025

Atlanta won both meetings, but they looked very different: a 24-10 win in New Orleans in November, then a 19-17 escape at home in January. The first was one-way, the second came down to two points, so the gap closed late in the season. Two games is a small sample, and this one is in New Orleans, where Atlanta won comfortably last time, though the January result suggests these teams were close by the end.

LAC is on a short week

The Chargers and Seattle both come in on 4 days, a short week with some travel for the road side. Rest is even, so the schedule does not separate these teams.

Marcelino McCrary-Ball (LB) is on injured reserve for NYJ

NYJ lists Marcelino McCrary-Ball as on injured reserve on the injury report. Reported Sep 23.

IND (1-2) at WSH (1-2)

Almost a mirror: both teams are 1-2 and come off a win, Indianapolis at -19 and Washington at -17. Washington won its one home game, and the Colts lost their one road game, single results each. Nothing in these records separates the teams, so the spot looks like a coin flip on form.

PHI lead the series with LAR since 2025

PHI and LAR have met once in this stretch, a 33-26 Philadelphia win at home on Sep 21 last season. That was a seven-point game with plenty of scoring on both sides. A single meeting tells you little about the matchup, so the 1-0 mark is thin evidence. The next game is also in Philadelphia, so the setting matches last year's meeting.

CIN lead the series with JAX since 2025

There is one meeting to go on: CIN beat JAX 31-27 at home on Sep 14 last season. That was a four-point game with both offenses scoring, so the 1-0 edge came from a close finish and one late swing could have flipped it. One game is a thin record, and this matchup is back in Cincinnati, the same setting as last time.
