Sports picks for Friday, October 16, 2026

CAR: 301.3 team passing yards per game to PHI's 170.6

CAR is at 301.3 team passing yards per game over 4 games; PHI is at 170.6 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season CAR was at 179.3 over 17 games and PHI at 194.3 over 17 games.

IND: 24.8 points per game to TEN's 11.6

Indianapolis scores more than double what Tennessee does through 5 games. Both are down from last season, the Colts from 27.4 and the Titans from 16.7, but the Titans have dropped further. That 11.6 mark is low enough to rise some, though Tennessee also scored the least of these two last year. For this game, the question is whether the Titans can keep pace if the Colts score at their usual rate.

DAL: 49.2% third-down conversion rate to GB's 27.6%

DAL is at 49.2% third-down conversion rate over 5 games; GB is at 27.6% over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season DAL was at 41.1% over 17 games and GB at 48.8% over 17 games.

NYJ: 0.6 turnovers committed per game to NE's 2.2

The Jets have given the ball away less than once a game over 5 games, while New England is above two. Both numbers flipped from last season: the Jets were at 1.35 and the Patriots at 0.94. Turnover rates swing a lot over five games, so expect both to move back toward those marks. Weigh this one lightly when you think about how the game plays out.

BAL: 164.4 rushing yards per game to CLE's 94.2

BAL is at 164.4 rushing yards per game over 5 games; CLE is at 94.2 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BAL was at 156.6 over 17 games and CLE at 97 over 17 games.

KC: 29.5 points per game to LAC's 16.8

These two were almost even last season, with Kansas City at 21.3 points a game and the Chargers at 21.6. Now the Chiefs are scoring 29.5 over 4 games and the Chargers have dropped to 16.8 over 5. That is a big split in a short sample, so some of it should come back toward the middle. The question for this game is whether the Chiefs offense keeps this pace or settles back toward last year's level.

KC: 6.58 yards per play to LAC's 4.78

Kansas City gains almost two more yards every play than the Chargers, and it has jumped from 5.05 last season. In its last game the Chiefs had 6 plays of 20 or more yards, including a 76-yard run by Kenneth Walker III and two long completions from Patrick Mahomes to Tyquan Thornton. The Chargers had 2, both on the ground. Four games is a small sample, but if the Chiefs keep hitting explosive plays, the Chargers have to sustain long drives to keep up.

KC: 0.5 turnovers committed per game to LAC's 2.6

LAC is at 2.6 turnovers committed per game over 5 games; KC is at 0.5 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season LAC was at 1.24 over 17 games and KC at 0.88 over 17 games.

BAL: 6.36 yards per play to CLE's 4.72

Baltimore gains well over a yard and a half more per play than Cleveland, and the gap is about the same as last season, when it was 5.92 to 4.33. In its last game the Ravens got their big plays from Justice Hill on the ground, with runs of 47 and 21 yards. Cleveland actually had more 20-yard plays in its last game, 5, mostly Deshaun Watson throws to Isaiah Bond. The Browns can strike through the air, but over 5 games Baltimore moves the ball much more easily.

BUF: 6.78 yards per play to LV's 5.16

Buffalo is gaining big chunks: six plays of 20+ yards last game, with Allen hitting Shakir for 57. Their 6.78 is well above last season's 5.94, so some cooling is likely. Vegas has jumped from 4.35 last season to 5.16, with Cousins finding Jeanty, Bowers and White for gains. Buffalo dictates pace here, and the Raiders' improvement is the part to trust least after five games.

LAR: 6.04 yards per play to ARI's 4.42

The Rams gain more on every snap while Arizona has to string together long drives, which is hard to do at 4.42 a play over five games. Arizona sat at 5.18 last season, so the drop is real but may settle back some. Stafford spreads it around: Corum and Higbee both had chunk catches last game. Arizona needs Brissett to hit Bourne and Higgins downfield to keep pace, and if those shots dry up, a long day of punts favors the Rams controlling the game.

NYJ: 0.6 turnovers a game to NE's 2.2

New England is giving the ball away 2.2 times a game through five games, after just 0.94 a game last season. The Jets went the other way, from 1.35 last season to 0.6 now. Five games is a small window and turnover rates swing a lot, so both numbers are likely to drift back toward last season. For now, the Patriots at home are the side more likely to hand over short fields.

BAL: 164.4 rush yards a game to CLE's 94.2

The widest gap between these two is rush yards a game: BAL ran for 164.4 rushing yards a game over 5 games; CLE ran for 94.2 rushing yards a game over 5 games this season. Last season BAL was at 156.6 over 17 games and CLE at 97 over 17 games.

Andrew Wingard (S) is out for ARI

Arizona lists Wingard as out at safety for Sunday at the Rams, with no injury detail on the report. A reserve fills his snaps in the secondary. It is a depth hit more than a game-changer on its own, but it adds to a thinner Arizona defense heading into a road division game.

Rashee Rice (WR) is out for KC

Kansas City will be without Rashee Rice against the Chargers because of hamstring and knee issues. Rice is a top target in the Chiefs' passing game, so those looks get spread among the other receivers and tight ends. A hamstring and a knee together could keep him out more than one week, and the boost to the other receivers should last as long as he is out.

Evan Svoboda (TE) is out for LAC

Svoboda was a practice squad tight end, and the Chargers moved him to the practice squad injured list on Oct 14 with an undisclosed injury. He was not part of the active game plan, so this has no real effect on the game at Kansas City. Bettors can ignore it.

Donte Jackson (CB) is out for LAC

Jackson is out for Sunday at Kansas City with a hamstring injury, reported Oct 17. Derwin James Jr. is also ruled out with a hamstring injury, so the Chargers are missing a corner and their safety in the same game. That leaves a thinner secondary against the Chiefs' passing game, a factor for Kansas City receiving props and the total.

SEA @ DEN carries a 31.5 market total

At 31.5, the market expects this to be the lowest-scoring game on the slate by a wide margin, 12.5 points under the 44 median across 14 games. A gap that size means the number is pricing long drives, field goals and few cheap touchdowns from either side. For it to crack, one team has to hand the other short fields or hit a couple of explosive plays early. A bettor can use this as a spot where a single defensive or special teams score swings the whole total.

CAR: 30.3 points per game to PHI's 18.4

Carolina is scoring at a pace that makes no sense next to last season's 18.3, and it comes over only four games. Philadelphia has slid from 22.3 last season to 18.4 over five. Both numbers look stretched in opposite directions and could drift back toward normal. In Philadelphia, a bettor should be careful paying for Carolina's four-game run as if it were their true level.

DAL: 49.2% on third down to GB's 27.6%

Green Bay is converting just 27.6% of its third downs through five games after 48.8% last season, a drop too steep to read as the new normal. Dallas has gone the other way, from 41.1% to 49.2%. Both numbers should move back toward last season. The Packers at home are likely better than this rate shows, so a short sample here may be pricing them too low.

BUF: 158 rush yards a game to LV's 82

Buffalo runs for nearly twice what Las Vegas does, and both teams look a lot like last season: Buffalo 159.6 then, 158 now, the Raiders 77.5 then, 82 now. A gap that steady over a full season and five more games should hold. The Bills can control the game on the ground in Las Vegas, while the Raiders have to move the ball through the air to keep pace.

KC: 0.5 turnovers a game to LAC's 2.6

The Chargers are turning it over 2.6 times a game through five games, more than double last season's 1.24. Kansas City sits at 0.5 over four games, close to its 0.88 from last season. The Chiefs' number looks real, and the Chargers' looks high enough that it should come down. On the road at Arrowhead, Los Angeles cannot afford to keep giving away extra possessions.

LAR: 307.6 pass yards a game to ARI's 209.6

The widest gap between these two is pass yards a game: ARI threw for 209.6 passing yards a game over 5 games; LAR threw for 307.6 passing yards a game over 5 games this season. Last season ARI was at 232.6 over 17 games and LAR at 268.1 over 17 games.

CAR: 301.3 pass yards a game to PHI's 170.6

Carolina is throwing for 301.3 yards a game over four games, while Philadelphia sits at 170.6 over five. Carolina's number is a big jump from 179.3 last season, so four games may be running hot. Philadelphia is also down from 194.3 last season. Expect Carolina's passing number to come back toward its old level some, so be careful paying for this pace in Philadelphia.

Jalen Pitre (S) is out for HOU

Pitre's shoulder keeps him out of Sunday's trip to Jacksonville, and since the team has already ruled him out, nothing changes before kickoff. The sheet doesn't say who takes his snaps at safety, so check Houston's depth chart for his replacement. If you're looking at Jacksonville passing props, start with the fact that a regular in the Texans' secondary will be missing.

Ross Matiscik (LS) is out for JAX

Jacksonville's long snapper, Ross Matiscik, is out against Houston. Every punt, field goal and extra point starts with that snap, so a fill-in snapper is the thing to keep an eye on. The report names no injury and no replacement. Kicking props and close-spread spots are where a shaky snap would show up first.

Kyle Monangai (RB) is out for CHI

Monangai is dealing with both a thumb and a toe injury, and Chicago has already ruled him out for Sunday in Atlanta, so there is no game-day suspense here. Out means he will not play. The report does not say who takes his carries, so check the Bears' final depth chart before leaning on any Chicago running back in this matchup.

Dayo Odeyingbo (DE) is out for CHI

Odeyingbo is out for Sunday in Atlanta with a quadriceps injury, reported Oct 17. He is one of several Chicago defenders ruled out this week, alongside T.J. Edwards and Kyler Gordon. Losing an edge rusher means less pressure on the Falcons' quarterback, so look at Chicago's defensive front as a whole for this game.

C.J. Henderson (CB) is out for ATL

Atlanta has ruled out cornerback C.J. Henderson for Sunday against the Bears because of a groin injury, reported Oct 17. Groin injuries can linger, so this may not be a one-week absence. With Henderson out, Atlanta's secondary loses depth and someone further down the depth chart picks up his coverage snaps. Watch for that matchup when you size up Chicago's passing game.

T.J. Edwards (LB) is out for CHI

Edwards is out for Sunday at Atlanta with a hamstring injury, reported Oct 17. Out means no chance he plays. With Dayo Odeyingbo and Kyler Gordon also ruled out, Chicago's defense is missing a player at every level, which is worth weighing when you look at Falcons yardage props and the game total.

Caleb Williams (QB) is questionable for CHI

Williams is the Bears' starting quarterback, and a hamstring injury has him listed as questionable for Sunday in Atlanta. Questionable means he could go either way, and a hamstring can limit how much a quarterback moves around even when he plays. The report does not name a backup. Wait for the inactive list before betting anything on Chicago's offense, because his status changes how this game should be priced.

Kyler Gordon (CB) is out for CHI

Chicago lists Gordon as out for Sunday at Atlanta, reported Oct 17, with no injury detail given. He joins T.J. Edwards and Dayo Odeyingbo on the inactive side of the Bears defense. A thinner secondary is a spot where the Falcons' passing game has more room, so it is worth factoring into Atlanta receiving props.

Keyshaun Elliott (LB) is out for CHI

CHI lists Keyshaun Elliott as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 16.

Lamar Jackson (QB) is out for BAL

Jackson is the engine of the Baltimore offense, and an ankle injury kept him off the practice field Friday, which is why the Baltimore Sun calls him unlikely for Sunday at Cleveland. The sheet does not name a backup, so the question is how much of the offense Baltimore can run without his legs and arm. Lines on this game should move as his status firms up, and a bettor should wait for the final word before trusting any number.

Matt Hibner (TE) is out for BAL

Baltimore tight end Matt Hibner is out Sunday in Cleveland with a hand injury, reported Oct 17. Nothing on the sheet says how big his role has been, so his absence mostly changes depth at tight end. The other tight ends on the roster take his snaps. This one should barely move how you view the game.

Cam Jurgens (C) is out for BAL

Baltimore will play at Cleveland without Jurgens at center. The report lists no injury or timeline. A backup snapping the ball changes the protection calls and the run game up the middle, so check who starts there before you look at Baltimore's rushing or sack numbers.

Broderick Washington Jr. (DT) is out for BAL

Washington is out for Baltimore's trip to Cleveland, and the report gives no injury detail. Losing a defensive tackle means more snaps for the rest of the interior rotation. Keep that in mind when you weigh Cleveland's inside run game.

Mike Hall Jr. (DT) is out for CLE

Cleveland lists Hall as out for Sunday against Baltimore, reported Oct 17, with no injury detail given. Out means he will not play, so the Browns are a defensive tackle short against the Ravens' run game. The fact sheet names no replacement, so the size of the drop depends on who fills his snaps.

Teven Jenkins (G) is out for CLE

Jenkins is out at guard for Cleveland against Baltimore, and the report lists no injury or timeline. A backup guard will take his spot. Look at Cleveland's interior protection and its inside runs with a fill-in on the line.

Ashton Dulin (WR) is out for IND

Ashton Dulin will miss Sunday's game against the Titans with a hamstring injury, the Indianapolis Star reports. Out means he does not play, so his snaps go to the rest of the Colts' receiver room. For a bettor, look at who moves up the depth chart at receiver and on special teams before treating this as a real loss.

Kevin Winston Jr. (S) is out for TEN

Tennessee safety Kevin Winston Jr. is out Sunday at Indianapolis with a quadriceps injury, reported Oct 16. Out means he will not play. His snaps at the back end go to the next safety up, so the Titans lose a body in a secondary that has to cover the Colts. Keep in mind that the replacement is untested when you look at Indianapolis passing numbers.

Jordan Elliott (DT) is out for TEN

Elliott is out for Sunday at Indianapolis for a personal reason, reported Oct 17. This is not a physical injury, so his absence says nothing about his health past this week. Tennessee is a defensive tackle short against the Colts, a spot to keep in mind for Indianapolis run game props.

Jaylon Carlies (LB) is out for IND

Indianapolis has ruled Carlies out against Tennessee, so the Colts linebacker group plays this one without him. The report gives no injury detail. Bettors looking at the Tennessee offense should know the Colts are one linebacker short.

Adonai Mitchell (WR) is out for NYJ

Adonai Mitchell is out for Sunday's game at New England with a finger injury, reported Oct 16. Out means he will not suit up, so the Jets play this one a receiver short. The report does not name who takes his snaps, so any receiver prop for this game should wait until the Jets' active list shows who fills his spot.

Breece Hall (RB) is out for NYJ

Breece Hall is out for Sunday's game at New England with a quadriceps injury, reported Oct 16. Out is final: the Jets play without their lead back. The report does not say who gets the carries, so the next Jets back on the depth chart is where the work goes, and bettors should look at that player's rushing lines and at how the Jets plan to move the ball without Hall.

Joseph Ossai (DE) is out for NYJ

Joseph Ossai is out for the Jets' trip to New England with an ankle injury, per the New York Post. Out means no Ossai on Sunday, so the Jets rotate other edge players into his snaps. For a bettor, the question is how much pressure the Jets can get on the Patriots' quarterback with one fewer pass rusher available.

Karon Prunty (CB) is out for NE

Prunty is out for New England against the Jets, and the report gives no injury detail. On his own he is a depth loss in the secondary, but Carlton Davis III is also out at corner for this game. Two corners down is the bigger issue for the Patriots' pass defense.

Carlton Davis III (CB) is out for NE

Davis will miss the Jets game, and the report lists no injury or timeline. Karon Prunty is also out, so New England is short two cornerbacks. Backups will draw more coverage snaps, which is something to weigh when you look at the Jets' passing game in this spot.

Dylan Parham (G) is out for NYJ

The Jets list Parham as out for the trip to New England, with no injury detail given. A guard missing means a backup steps into the interior line, and that can matter for both the run game and protection. Add it to the Jets absences when you size up their offense this week.

Theo Johnson (TE) is out for NYG

The Giants ruled out tight end Theo Johnson for Sunday against the Saints with a neck injury. Out means he does not suit up, so the backup tight ends take his snaps as a blocker and receiver. Bettors looking at Giants tight end props should check who starts in his place, since that player's role grows this week.

Kaden Elliss (LB) is out for NO

Elliss will miss Sunday against the Giants with a calf injury, reported Oct 17. Out means he is not playing, so New Orleans is down a linebacker against the New York offense. The fact sheet names no replacement, so check who takes his snaps before leaning on Giants rushing or short passing props.

Colton Hood (CB) is out for NYG

The Giants list Hood as out at corner for Sunday against New Orleans. The report gives no injury or timeline. A missing corner means someone deeper on the depth chart covers more snaps, so the Saints' passing game is the place to look when sizing up this matchup.

Anfernee Jennings (LB) is out for NO

New Orleans has ruled linebacker Anfernee Jennings out for its game at the Giants, with no injury listed. Kaden Elliss is out too, which leaves the Saints thin at linebacker. Depth players will be on the field more than usual, and the Giants' run game and short passes are the place to look.

Tyler Nubin (S) is out for NYG

Nubin is out at safety for the Giants against New Orleans, with no injury detail on the report. He is listed alongside corner Colton Hood, so the Giants are short two defensive backs for this one. That thins the back end, and a bettor weighing the Saints' passing numbers should factor in a patched secondary.

Jalen Hurts (QB) is out for PHI

Hurts is ruled out for Sunday against Carolina after a follow-up ultrasound on his calf Wednesday showed movement in a small blood clot. This is a medical issue, not a soreness call, so he will not suit up. Philadelphia plays this one without its starting quarterback. Expect the line and totals to adjust, and think about how the Eagles' offense changes before backing their passing game.

AJ Dillon (RB) is out for CAR

Dillon has an ankle injury and is ruled out for Sunday at Philadelphia. The sheet doesn't show his workload, so how much Carolina loses is unclear. The rest of the backfield takes his carries.

Saquon Barkley (RB) is out for PHI

Barkley is ruled out with a hamstring injury and was not seen at Friday's practice, so Philadelphia faces Carolina at home without its lead back. The fact sheet does not name a replacement, so the workload split behind him is the open question. For bettors, the Eagles' rushing props and any Barkley-based angles are off the board, and the backup backfield is where to look once the depth chart is clearer.

Michael Carter II (CB) is out for PHI

Carter will miss Carolina's visit, and the report lists no injury or timeline. Philadelphia's backup cornerbacks will take his coverage snaps. That matters if you are weighing Carolina's passing game.

Jalyx Hunt (LB) is out for PHI

Philadelphia lists Hunt as out at linebacker for Sunday against Carolina, with no injury detail given. A backup takes his snaps on defense. It is a smaller loss than Saquon Barkley sitting on the same report, but it is one more piece the Eagles are missing in this game.

Baker Mayfield (QB) is out for TB

Mayfield's thumb keeps him out Sunday against Pittsburgh, and the Buccaneers lose their starting quarterback. A thumb on the throwing side can linger, so this may not be a one-week issue. The backup takes over against a Steelers defense, and the Tampa Bay passing game should be judged on that player, with lower expectations for the receivers.

Ben Skowronek (WR) is out for PIT

Mike McCarthy closed the door Monday: Skowronek's calf keeps him out Sunday at Tampa Bay, so there is no late-week suspense here. Out means he will not play. His snaps go to the rest of the Pittsburgh receiver room, and that room is also missing Roman Wilson this week, so the depth behind the top options gets thin. For a bettor, the useful angle is how few healthy wideouts the Steelers bring to Tampa.

Roman Wilson (WR) is out for PIT

Wilson's finger injury has him ruled out for Sunday at Tampa Bay, per McCarthy on Monday, so this one is settled early. Out means he does not suit up. Pittsburgh is also without Ben Skowronek, which takes two receivers off the board in the same week. Bettors looking at Steelers receiving props should expect targets to bunch up among whoever is left, with less depth if anyone else gets banged up during the game.

Antoine Winfield Jr. (S) is out for TB

Tampa Bay ruled out safety Antoine Winfield Jr. for Sunday against Pittsburgh with a rib injury, the Buccaneers' official site reports. He is a centerpiece of the Bucs' secondary, so losing him matters more than a typical defensive absence. Out means he does not play. For a bettor, the Steelers' passing game gets an easier look at the back end of this defense.

Benjamin Morrison (CB) is doubtful for TB

Morrison is doubtful for Sunday against Pittsburgh with a quadriceps injury, reported Oct 17. Doubtful means he is unlikely to play, so plan as if Tampa Bay is without him at corner. Confirm when inactives come out before kickoff, since a late change would affect how you view Steelers receiver props.

Jeremiyah Love (RB) is out for ARI

Arizona has ruled rookie running back Jeremiyah Love out with an ankle injury for Sunday's game against the Rams. The report does not say who takes his carries, so the Cardinals' backfield is open this week. Wait to see who gets the first-team work before you lean on any Arizona rushing prop.

Wydett Williams Jr. (S) is out for ARI

Williams is in concussion protocol, and coach Mike LaFleur has ruled him out for Sunday against the Rams. Out is final, so Arizona plays the game with a reserve at safety. Against a Rams offense, a thinner back end is something to weigh when you look at Los Angeles passing numbers.

Tre' Harris (WR) is out for LAC

Rookie receiver Tre' Harris is out for the Chargers at Kansas City with a hamstring injury. Out means he does not play Sunday, and his targets get spread among the other Chargers receivers. For a bettor, check which receiver picks up his snaps, since that player's props may not yet reflect the bigger role.

CHI: 3 fourth-down attempts per game to ATL's 0.6

Chicago goes for it on fourth down about three times a game, while Atlanta barely tries. Last season the two teams were nearly identical, at 1.71 and 1.65, so this is a new aggressive streak in Chicago over five games. Some of that comes from game situations and could ease. For this game, expect Chicago to extend drives near midfield, which adds variance to their scoring and to any fourth-down props.

GB: 4.7 yards per play allowed to DAL's 6.42

Green Bay gives up 4.7 yards a snap over five games, and Dallas gives up 6.42, so the Packers make offences grind and the Cowboys let them move. The sheet doesn't say who either side has played, so part of this gap could be schedule. Five games is enough to take the spread seriously. With Dallas visiting, the Packers' offence has the easier matchup, and the Cowboys may need long drives to score.

GB: 1.8 takeaways per game to DAL's 0.4

Green Bay forces 1.8 turnovers a game over five, and Dallas forces 0.4. Takeaways swing more from week to week than most defensive numbers, so the Packers' rate will probably come down some. Dallas at 0.4 means opponents rarely give the ball away against them. In this game, the Packers are the side more likely to get short fields.

Marques Sigle (S) is doubtful for SF

Sigle, a safety, missed Thursday's practice with an ankle injury and is listed as doubtful for Washington. Doubtful usually means a player is unlikely to suit up, so plan on San Francisco playing without him. The fact sheet does not name his replacement, so check the final inactive list before kickoff and expect a backup in the secondary.

Garret Wallow (LB) is out for SF

Kyle Shanahan said Monday, Oct 12, that Wallow will miss at least a couple of weeks with a hamstring strain, so he is ruled out against Washington. An out tag means he will not play, and the coach's timeline points to more than one missed game. The sheet does not name his role or who replaces him, so check San Francisco's linebacker depth before leaning on any defensive angle in this game.

Deebo Samuel Sr. (WR) is out for SF

Samuel is out with a hamstring injury. Kyle Shanahan said Thursday the 49ers will hold off on putting him on IR because of their Week 8 bye, which suggests they expect him back after the break. He will not play against Washington. Look for his targets to go elsewhere in this game.

Marcus Mariota (QB) is doubtful for WSH

Mariota didn't practice Thursday because of his knee, and doubtful usually means a player sits. The sheet doesn't name the Washington starter or say how Mariota was being used, so his role here isn't clear. For the game at San Francisco, follow Friday's practice report and wait for the final status before betting anything that depends on who plays quarterback.

Jonathan Ford (DT) is out for GB

GB lists Jonathan Ford as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 16.

Benjamin St-Juste (CB) is out for GB

St-Juste is out for Green Bay against Dallas. The report lists no injury or snap count, so the clear takeaway is thinner cornerback depth, and someone else takes his defensive snaps.

Drew Shelton (OT) is out for DAL

Dallas lists Shelton as out at tackle for Sunday at Green Bay, with no injury detail given. A backup lineman steps in to protect the quarterback. Line changes tend to show up in pressure and sacks allowed, which is worth keeping in mind for any Dallas passing props in this game.

Cobie Durant (CB) is out for DAL

Durant is out at corner for Dallas at Green Bay, with no injury detail on the report. A backup corner gets more work against the Packers' receivers. Dallas is also without tackle Drew Shelton, so this is a team carrying absences on both sides of the ball into Lambeau.

Javon Hargrave (DT) is out for GB

Hargrave tore his Achilles in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Bears, confirmed by an MRI on Monday, so this is a season-ending type of injury and he will not play against Dallas. Out means no chance he suits up. The fact sheet does not name who takes his snaps on the interior, so watch Green Bay's defensive line rotation and how the Cowboys attack the middle of it.

Skyy Moore (WR) is out for GB

Skyy Moore is out for Sunday night's game against Dallas with an ankle injury, the Packers' official site reports. He sits behind Green Bay's main receivers, so the impact is mostly on depth and possibly the return game. For a bettor, this barely changes how the Packers' offense should look.

Josh Jacobs (RB) is out for GB

Jacobs is out for this one because he is on the Commissioner's Exempt List for a personal matter, not an injury. The report says he comes off the list Monday and could play as soon as Week 7 at Detroit. Green Bay faces Dallas without its lead back, so the carries fall to whoever is behind him. Price this game as a Packers offense working without Jacobs, and expect his status to change quickly once the week turns.

Tyler Scott (WR) is out for LV

The Raiders placed Tyler Scott on the practice-squad injured list Monday with an undisclosed issue. He was a practice-squad receiver, so his absence has no real effect on Las Vegas' plans against Buffalo. Bettors can ignore this one when sizing up the game.

Kayode Awosika (G) is out for LAC

LAC lists Kayode Awosika as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 16.

Rodney Shelley (CB) is doubtful for LAC

Shelley (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Reported Oct 17.

Josh Simmons (OT) is out for KC

KC lists Josh Simmons as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 16.

Joe Alt (OT) is out for LAC

Alt is out at tackle for the Chargers at Kansas City, and the report gives no injury detail. He is a starting tackle, so a backup will block the edge. Look at the Chargers' pass protection with a fill-in on the line.

Derwin James Jr. (S) is out for LAC

James is out for Sunday at Kansas City with a hamstring injury, reported Oct 17. Corner Donte Jackson is also out with a hamstring injury, so the Chargers secondary loses two starters in one week. Losing a safety of his profile makes the Chiefs' passing game a more inviting angle, especially for their receivers and tight end.

David Montgomery (RB) is out for HOU

Montgomery is officially out with a groin injury, so the Texans play the Jaguars in London without him. The report does not say who takes his carries, so check the depth chart before betting any Houston rushing number. Expect the backfield split to be the open question for this game.

Montaric Brown (CB) is out for JAX

Brown will miss Sunday against the Texans with a hamstring injury, reported Oct 17. Out means he will not play, so Jacksonville's cornerback group is one body thinner against Houston's passing game. The fact sheet does not name his replacement, so check the depth chart before kickoff if you are looking at Texans receiver props.

CAR: 6.13 yards per play to PHI's 4.58

Carolina's offense is moving the ball far better than last season's 4.92, with McMillan and Hubbard both producing 20+ yard plays last game. That comes over only four games. Philadelphia is down from 5.27 last season and had just one play of 20+ yards last game, a 62-yard touchdown to Cooper. Both teams' numbers likely move toward last season, so the size of this gap is the part to discount.

KC: 1.5 sacks taken per game to LAC's 3.4

LAC is at 3.4 sacks taken per game over 5 games; KC is at 1.5 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season LAC was at 3.75 over 17 games and KC at 2.94 over 17 games.

SF: 51.9% on third down to WSH's 31.9%

San Francisco keeps drives alive, converting 51.9% of third downs over five games, while Washington is at 31.9%. San Francisco was at 49.8% last season, so this is their normal. Washington is down from 37.6%, and some bounce back is likely, though the gap should stay wide. Expect San Francisco to hold the ball longer and Washington to punt more, which shapes possession count and pace.

SF: 18.6 points allowed per game to WSH's 29.8

WSH is at 29.8 points allowed per game over 5 games; SF is at 18.6 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season WSH was at 26.5 over 17 games and SF at 21.8 over 17 games.

BAL: 8.1 yards per pass attempt to CLE's 5.52

Baltimore throws for more per attempt than Cleveland by a wide margin, and both sides are up from last season: 6.69 for Baltimore and 4.78 for Cleveland. Over five games, Baltimore's passing game is hitting more downfield plays than usual, which may cool. Cleveland's passing attack has improved but is still limited. Baltimore can push the ball, while Cleveland likely needs a longer, slower route to points.

Tyjae Spears (RB) is questionable for TEN

Spears has a knee issue and is questionable for Sunday at Indianapolis. Questionable means it could go either way, and the report includes no practice details to lean on. Bettors interested in the Titans backfield should wait for the inactive list before trusting any Spears number.

LAR: 4.82 yards per play allowed to ARI's 6.24

The Rams allow 4.82 yards a play over five games, and Arizona allows 6.24, so the gap between the defences is wide. The sheet doesn't list opponents, so some of it may be schedule. Five games is a fair sample for a per-play number, and per-play numbers tend to hold better than totals. With Arizona visiting, the Rams' offence should find more room than the Cardinals' does.

CAR: 23.5 first downs per game to PHI's 14.4

CAR is at 23.5 first downs per game over 4 games; PHI is at 14.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season CAR was at 18 over 17 games and PHI at 18 over 17 games.

Rachaad White (RB) is questionable for WSH

White practiced in a limited capacity Friday due to a shoulder injury. Reported Oct 16.

Terry McLaurin (WR) is questionable for WSH

McLaurin is getting a veteran rest day Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Reported Oct 16.

Austin Ekeler (RB) is questionable for WSH

Ekeler (chest) remained limited in Friday's practice. Reported Oct 16.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt (RB) is questionable for WSH

Croskey-Merritt (groin) didn't practice Friday. Reported Oct 16.

Treylon Burks (WR) is questionable for WSH

Treylon Burks is questionable for Washington at San Francisco after staying limited in Friday's practice with a shoulder injury. Questionable means it is uncertain whether he plays, and a limited Friday leaves it open. If he sits, the other Commanders receivers absorb his snaps. Bettors should wait for the inactive list before playing anything tied to him.

Stefon Diggs (WR) is questionable for WSH

Diggs is questionable with a hamstring after a limited practice Friday, ahead of Washington's game at San Francisco. Limited on Friday means he got some work in, which is a better sign than sitting out, though hamstrings can linger. Hold off on his receiving props until his status is set, since a game-time call could cap his snaps even if he plays.

Joshua Palmer (WR) is questionable for BUF

Palmer is questionable with a shoulder injury for Sunday's trip to Las Vegas, and DJ Moore is listed as questionable with a shoulder issue too. That puts two Buffalo receivers in doubt for the same game. If one or both sit, targets get squeezed into fewer hands, so receiving props for whoever is confirmed active are the spot to revisit closer to kickoff.

DJ Moore (WR) is questionable for BUF

Moore is dealing with a shoulder injury and will carry a questionable tag into Sunday at Las Vegas, per The Buffalo News. Questionable means he could go either way. If he plays, a sore shoulder can limit his snaps, and if he sits, other Buffalo receivers see more targets, so check the inactive list before betting his props.

Brenen Thompson (WR) is questionable for LAC

Thompson (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Reported Oct 17.

Sean Tucker (RB) is questionable for TB

Tucker (quadriceps) is listed as questionable and considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with Pittsburgh, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Reported Oct 16.

DK Metcalf (WR) is questionable for PIT

Metcalf is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after missing Friday's practice due to an illness. Reported Oct 16.

Rico Dowdle (RB) is questionable for PIT

Dowdle is listed questionable with a toe injury, but he was a full participant Thursday and Friday. Full practices late in the week usually point to a player who suits up, so the tag here looks more like caution than a real doubt for Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay. Weigh his outlook as close to normal unless something changes before kickoff.

Alvin Kamara (RB) is questionable for NO

Kamara (back) practiced on a limited basis Friday is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Reported Oct 16.

Chris Olave (WR) is questionable for NO

Olave is questionable with an illness after a limited Friday practice before the trip to face the Giants. An illness tends to clear faster than a soft-tissue injury, so this leans toward him playing. Check the final status before game day, since a late scratch would shift targets to the rest of the Saints receivers.

TreVeyon Henderson (RB) is questionable for NE

Henderson said Friday that an MRI revealed he sustained a high-ankle sprain but that he is "hoping to play" Sunday against the Jets, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. Reported Oct 16.

Quinshon Judkins (RB) is questionable for CLE

Judkins (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Reported Oct 16.

GB: 2.8 sacks recorded per game to DAL's 1

Green Bay gets to the quarterback 2.8 times a game over five, and Dallas gets there once a game. A pass rush that steady usually holds up better than takeaways do. Opponents and how often they dropped back aren't on the sheet, so the size of the gap may come partly from game script. In this matchup, the Dallas quarterback is the one more likely to be under pressure.

Mike Evans (WR) is questionable for SF

Evans (ribs/Achilles) was a non-participant at Friday's practice, Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Reported Oct 16.

BAL: 29.2 points per game to CLE's 18.6

BAL is at 29.2 points per game over 5 games; CLE is at 18.6 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BAL was at 24.9 over 17 games and CLE at 16.4 over 17 games.

SF: 6.54 yards per play to WSH's 5.14

San Francisco is gaining more per play through the air, with Purdy hitting Evans three times for 20+ yards last game. That 6.54 is a jump from last season's 5.49, so expect some pullback. Washington had seven plays of 20+ yards last game, mostly runs from Daniels and Croskey-Merritt. Washington's style is to break long runs, while San Francisco moves it steadily, and Washington needs those chunk runs to stay in the game.

BAL: 73.7% red-zone scoring rate to CLE's 45.5%

BAL is at 73.7% red-zone scoring rate over 5 games; CLE is at 45.5% over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BAL was at 47.5% over 17 games and CLE at 52.6% over 17 games.

NYJ: 0 interceptions thrown per game to NE's 1.4

The Jets have thrown zero interceptions in five games, after 0.76 a game last season, which is unlikely to last. New England has gone the other way, from 0.47 last season to 1.4 per game. Both sides should drift back toward last season's levels. Don't price this game as if the Jets never give the ball away and the Patriots always do.

NE: 9.6 sack yards lost per game to NYJ's 26.8

NYJ is at 26.8 sack yards lost per game over 5 games; NE is at 9.6 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season NYJ was at 24.9 over 17 games and NE at 12.6 over 17 games.

BUF @ LV carries a 53.5 market total

At 53.5, this is the highest total on the slate, 9.5 points above the 44 median across 14 games. The market expects both offenses to finish drives and trade touchdowns rather than settle for kicks. For that to fall apart, drives have to stall in the red zone or the clock has to run long on sustained possessions. A bettor can watch the first few drives: field goals in place of touchdowns are the earliest sign the number was set too high.

KC: 0 fumbles lost per game to LAC's 1.2

LAC is at 1.2 fumbles lost per game over 5 games; KC is at 0 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season LAC was at 0.41 over 17 games and KC at 0.18 over 17 games.

AJ Epenesa (DE) is doubtful for PHI

PHI lists AJ Epenesa as doubtful on the injury report. Reported Oct 16.

Monroe Freeling (OT) is doubtful for CAR

Carolina lists Freeling as doubtful at tackle for Sunday at Philadelphia, which usually means he is not expected to play. The report gives no injury detail. A backup likely starts at tackle, which matters for protection against an Eagles front even with linebacker Jalyx Hunt out.

DEN is 3-0 at home; SEA is 1-2 on the road

Denver has won all three of its home games, while Seattle has split its trips 1-2. Three games on each side is a small sample, and the sheet does not say who either team played, so the split may reflect schedule as much as venue. A home edge this size usually narrows as more games come in. Use it as a nudge toward Denver at home, weighed against whatever the line already prices in.

P Edge side won; final 14-17

IND: 31:07 time of possession per game to TEN's 24:31

Indianapolis holds the ball for long stretches, while Tennessee's possessions are short, down from 29:08 last season. Over five games, Tennessee is giving the Colts more time to work. Expect fewer total drives and a slower game if this holds. Indianapolis controls the pace here, and Tennessee will need quick scores to keep up.

CAR: 1.75 takeaways per game to PHI's 0.6

Carolina forces 1.75 turnovers a game, but that is over four games, so it is the thinnest sample on this list. Philadelphia forces 0.6 over five. Takeaway rates swing a lot, and Carolina's could cool off fast. With Carolina at Philadelphia, the Panthers are the side more likely to win the turnover battle, but they need those extra possessions.

ATL: 69.2% red-zone scoring rate to CHI's 42.9%

Atlanta scores on most of its red-zone trips, and Chicago scores on fewer than half. Chicago was at 58.2% last season, so expect some recovery. Atlanta was at 62% last season, close to this year's number. Chicago's fourth-down aggressiveness may help, but if their red-zone trips keep stalling, they will leave points on the field in Atlanta.

SEA: 28% third downs allowed to DEN's 44.4%

Seattle lets opponents convert 28% of third downs over six games, and Denver allows 44.4%. Six games is a decent sample, though third-down rates move around more than per-play numbers. The Seahawks get off the field, and the Broncos haven't. With Seattle on the road, drive length favours the Seahawks unless Denver stays out of third-and-long.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

SF: 50% red-zone scoring allowed to WSH's 83.3%

WSH is at 83.3% red-zone scoring allowed over 5 games; SF is at 50% over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

Sadiq (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after logging a full practice Friday. Reported Oct 16.

Rays are 5-1 vs Guardians this season

Tampa Bay has taken five of six from Cleveland this year, and the latest was a 1-0 game, so at least one of those wins could easily have gone the other way. There's no detail on who started those games or where they were played, so nothing explains the edge beyond the results. Six games is a small sample. Price tonight in Cleveland on the starters and current form, and give the series record little weight.

IND: 31:07 of possession a game to TEN's 24:31

Indianapolis holds the ball about six and a half minutes longer a game than Tennessee over five games. Last season the two were close, 29:37 for the Colts and 29:08 for the Titans, so this gap is new and could narrow. At home, the Colts can keep the Titans' offense on the bench, which favors a game with fewer total possessions.

LAR: 156.8 passing yards allowed per game to ARI's 236.8

ARI is at 236.8 passing yards allowed per game over 5 games; LAR is at 156.8 over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

KC: 4.75 red-zone trips per game to LAC's 2.6

LAC is at 2.6 red-zone trips per game over 5 games; KC is at 4.75 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season LAC was at 3.35 over 17 games and KC at 3.47 over 17 games.

TEN has lost 5 straight

Tennessee has not won a game yet: 0-5, all five a loss in a row. Five games is enough to say the start is bad, though the sheet does not show who those losses came against or by how much. Winless teams often get priced down far enough that the number stops matching the roster. On the road at Indianapolis, the question is whether the spread already assumes the slide continues.

DAL @ GB carries a 52.5 market total

At 52.5, the market has this 8.5 points above the 44 slate median, which prices in a game where both teams score often. That expectation leans on touchdowns coming steadily through four quarters. It cracks if one side builds a lead and leans on the run to shorten the game. A bettor can think about how the script shapes up: a close game keeps both offenses throwing, while a lopsided one tends to drain the scoring late.

SF has won 5 straight

San Francisco has won every game it has played, five straight to open at 5-0. The sheet does not list who those wins came against, so the strength of the run is unclear. Perfect starts draw public money, and lines on unbeaten teams often get heavier than the matchup alone supports. Hosting Washington, the useful thing to weigh is how much of the 5-0 is already baked into the spread.

LAC has lost 5 straight

The Chargers are 0-5, and every game this season has been a loss. The sheet does not show the opponents or margins, so it is hard to say how much is bad luck and how much is the team. A winless start tends to push a line further than one more game of evidence justifies. Going to Kansas City, the market will lean hard against them, and that is the spot to check whether the price overshoots.

Trent McDuffie (CB) is questionable for LAR

Rams cornerback Trent McDuffie is questionable for Sunday against Arizona with a groin injury, reported Oct 17. Questionable means he could play either way, and groin injuries can limit a corner who does play. He is a top cover man, so if he sits or is slowed, the Cardinals' receivers face a weaker secondary. Check his status before game time, and do the same for safety Kam Curl, who is also questionable.

Jalen Ramsey (CB) is questionable for PIT

Ramsey (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Reported Oct 17.

Will Campbell (OT) is questionable for NE

Campbell (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday. Reported Oct 16.

NYG: 21.2 points allowed a game to NO's 30.2

New Orleans has allowed 30.2 points a game through five games, a jump from 22.5 last season. The Giants went from 25.8 to 21.2. Five games is a short window, and the Saints' number is likely to come down some. For this game in New York, the Saints' defense is the bigger question, and bettors can weigh whether the Giants offense can keep scoring on it.

KC has 7 more days of rest

Kansas City is the rested side here, 12 days with a bye behind it, and the Chargers fly in on 5. A short week on the road against a division rival is a tough setup: less time to recover, less practice time, and travel on top of it. The Chiefs get extra film and healing time at home. For a bettor, the schedule tilts toward KC, and the question is how much of that the line already reflects.

CAR has 7 more days of rest

Carolina had the bye and shows up on 12 days of rest, while Philadelphia is turning around on 5. That gives the Panthers a full extra week to heal, install a plan and study the Eagles, and the home side gets a compressed week of practice and recovery. The edge is on paper only: a road team off a bye still has to travel, and Philadelphia keeps the crowd. Use it as a reason to look harder at Carolina's preparation, especially early in the game when a scripted plan matters most.

WASH: 30.7% third downs allowed to PUR's 48.6%

Washington has let opponents convert fewer than a third of their third downs over six games, while Purdue has given up a conversion on nearly half. Six games is a real sample, though the sheet does not show who either defense faced, so some of that gap could be schedule. Purdue's mark suggests its defense struggles to get off the field, which matters when it hosts Washington. A bettor can lean on this when judging whether Washington's offense sustains drives in this game.

DEN: 1 turnover committed per game to SEA's 2

Seattle gives the ball away twice a game, up from 1.65 last season, while Denver is right at last season's 1. Seattle is likely to improve some after six games, but Denver's ball security looks steady. Seattle has the better passing offense, and their giveaways decide whether that edge turns into points.

P Edge side won; final 14-17

LV: 2 takeaways per game to BUF's 1

Las Vegas forces two turnovers a game over five, and Buffalo forces one. Takeaways are one of the least steady defensive numbers, so the Raiders' rate is the one most likely to come down. With Buffalo visiting, extra possessions are how the Raiders keep this close.

SEA: 3.9 yards per play allowed to DEN's 5.05

Seattle allows 3.9 yards a play over six games, and Denver allows 5.05. That is a very stingy number, and six games makes it more believable, though the sheet doesn't show who the Seahawks faced. Per-play numbers like this tend to hold. With Seattle at Denver, the Broncos' offence will probably have to string together long drives.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

CHI: 26% third downs allowed to ATL's 40.3%

CHI is at 26% third downs allowed over 5 games; ATL is at 40.3% over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

DEN: 1 turnovers a game to SEA's 2

Seattle is giving the ball away twice a game over six games, Denver once. Denver was at 1 a game last season too, so that is steady. Seattle is up from 1.65 last season, so some of this may settle down, though turnovers on the road in Denver can swing a close game. Seattle's ball security is the thing to watch when thinking about this spot.

P Edge side won; final 14-17

CAR: 7.08 yards per pass attempt to PHI's 5.02

CAR is at 7.08 yards per pass attempt over 4 games; PHI is at 5.02 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season CAR was at 5.47 over 17 games and PHI at 6.33 over 17 games.

SEA: 225 team passing yards per game to DEN's 168

Seattle throws for much more than Denver, and Seattle is at its usual level from last season. Denver fell from 223.9 last season to 168 over six games. Denver's passing game should improve, but Seattle likely controls the air game in Denver.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

LAC (0-5) at KC (4-0), a division game

Kansas City is 4-0 and +41, Los Angeles is 0-5 and -45, and the gap runs in every direction: streak, margin, home and road. The Chargers are 0-2 away and the Chiefs 2-0 at home. Nothing on either sheet suggests a record that flatters or undersells, so the question for a bettor is whether any spread can be big enough, especially in a division game where teams know each other well.

ARI (1-4) at LAR (2-3), a division game

Arizona has lost four straight and is -54, the worst margin on this slate, while the Rams are 2-3 but essentially even at -1. That makes Los Angeles a better team than its record, likely losing close ones. The Rams are only 1-2 at home, so the edge here comes from their overall margin rather than any home-field boost.

TEN (0-5) at IND (2-3), a division game

Tennessee is 0-5 and -51, losing every week, while Indianapolis is 2-3 and -14 and only 1-1 at home. The Colts are not a strong team themselves, so this is a mediocre side hosting a bad one. A five-game slide and a margin that deep say the Titans' problems are real, but the gap between these two is smaller than a big spread would suggest.

JAX: 14 points allowed a game to HOU's 22.4

Jacksonville has held opponents to 14 points a game through five games, better than 19.8 last season. Houston has gone the other way, from 17.4 to 22.4. Both moves are big for five games and likely to settle somewhat. At home, the Jaguars' defense gives them the edge in a game that could stay low scoring.

BAL (4-1) at CLE (3-2), a division game

Baltimore is 3-0 on the road and +27 overall, while Cleveland is 3-2 with a -19 point margin. A winning record with a negative margin usually means a team has stolen close games, and that rarely lasts. Cleveland is 2-0 at home, though, so the Browns' record flatters them overall but their home split is real enough to respect in a division game.

HOU (1-4) at JAX (4-1), a division game

Jacksonville has outscored teams by 53 points and is unbeaten at home in three tries, while Houston sits at -2 for the year despite a 1-4 record. That split says the Texans have lost close games and the Jaguars have won comfortably, so the records overstate the distance between them. Division familiarity tends to tighten games like this, which makes Houston's point margin worth more weight than its win total.

SF: 0.6 sacks taken per game to WSH's 2

WSH is at 2 sacks taken per game over 5 games; SF is at 0.6 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season WSH was at 2.31 over 17 games and SF at 1.8 over 17 games.

HOU: 3.6 sacks recorded per game to JAX's 2.2

Houston gets 3.6 sacks a game over five, and Jacksonville gets 2.2. Sack rates hold up reasonably well, but opponents' pass protection isn't on the sheet. With Houston at Jacksonville, the Jaguars' quarterback is the one more likely to face steady pressure, and drives that stall after a sack.

WSH @ SF carries a 51.5 market total

At 51.5, this game sits 7.5 points over the 44 median across 14 games, so the market expects a high-scoring afternoon with both sides putting up points. For that to hold, drives need to end in touchdowns more than field goals. It cracks if one offense stalls and the other gets a lead it can protect on the ground. A bettor can think about whether both teams have to contribute, since a total this high rarely gets there off one offense alone.

James Thompson Jr. (DT) is questionable for SF

Thompson (ankle) could return in Week 6 against Washington, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Reported Oct 12.

Tonka Hemingway (DT) is questionable for LV

Hemingway entered concussion protocol before Week 6 against Buffalo, according to The Athletic, and is questionable. A player has to clear every step of the protocol to play, so his status can flip late. If he sits, Las Vegas leans on other interior linemen against the Bills' run game.

Ed Oliver (DT) is questionable for BUF

Oliver sat out Wednesday's walk-through with a knee injury, and missing even a light session leaves his availability at Las Vegas in doubt. The sheet doesn't say who fills in on the Bills' defensive line. Watch the next two practice reports, because if he sits, the Raiders' running game gets an easier matchup up front.

Daiyan Henley (LB) is questionable for LAC

Henley (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Reported Oct 17.

Josiah Trotter (LB) is questionable for TB

Trotter (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Reported Oct 17.

Kam Curl (S) is questionable for LAR

Rams safety Kam Curl is questionable for Sunday against Arizona with an ankle injury, reported Oct 17. Questionable is a true coin flip, and an ankle can limit how much he plays even if he suits up. Corner Trent McDuffie is also questionable, so the Rams could be thin across the secondary at once. If both sit, the Arizona passing game gets an easier matchup.

JAX: 14 points allowed per game to HOU's 22.4

Jacksonville is giving up 14 points a game through 5 games, a big jump from the 19.8 it allowed last season, while Houston has gone the other way, from 17.4 last season to 22.4 now. Five games is enough to take seriously and short enough that schedule can inflate both swings. If the Jaguars defense holds form, Houston has to sustain long drives against a unit that has rarely let anyone get comfortable. Think about this one as a game where Jacksonville's defense can set a lower-scoring pace.

LAR: 24 points allowed per game to ARI's 32.4

ARI is at 32.4 points allowed per game over 5 games; LAR is at 24 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season ARI was at 28.7 over 17 games and LAR at 20.4 over 17 games.

CHI @ ATL carries a 51.5 market total

The current fanduel total is 51.5, 7.5 points above the 44 median across 14 games with posted totals on this slate.

ARI @ LAR carries a 51.5 market total

At 51.5, the market puts this division game 7.5 points above the 44 slate median, which means it expects both offenses to move the ball and finish. The expectation needs a steady pace with few long, clock-eating stalls. It cracks if either defense forces punts early and the game turns into a field position fight. A bettor can weigh how fast the first quarter plays out, since a slow start makes a number this high harder to reach.

Jaelan Phillips (LB) is questionable for CAR

Phillips (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Reported Oct 16.

Abdul Carter (LB) is questionable for NYG

Carter (calf) did not practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Reported Oct 16.

DeMarvion Overshown (LB) is questionable for DAL

Overshown (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Reported Oct 16.

SEA: 141.3 passing yards allowed per game to DEN's 208.5

SEA is at 141.3 passing yards allowed per game over 6 games; DEN is at 208.5 over 6 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

DEN: 1.33 sacks taken per game to SEA's 2.67

Seattle's quarterback is going down 2.67 times a game over 6 games, up from 2.08 last season, while Denver has cut its sacks taken to 1.33 from 1.77. Six games is a fair sample, and Seattle's protection has slipped from a level that was already shaky. Playing in Denver adds crowd noise to that problem. Sack-related props and drive-killing negative plays lean toward Seattle's side in this matchup.

P Edge side won; final 14-17

KC: 9.5 sack yards lost per game to LAC's 22.8

LAC is at 22.8 sack yards lost per game over 5 games; KC is at 9.5 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season LAC was at 21.6 over 17 games and KC at 19.3 over 17 games.

NO: 2.4 fourth-down attempts per game to NYG's 0.8

New Orleans goes for it on fourth down 2.4 times a game through 5 games, up from 2 last season, while the Giants have dropped to 0.8 from 2.29 last season. That is a clear split in coaching appetite, and the Giants number looks like a change in approach more than a fluke. In this game, the Saints are the side more likely to extend drives or turn field position over on downs, which adds variance to their possessions.

BAL: 5.02 yards per rush attempt to CLE's 3.68

BAL is at 5.02 yards per rush attempt over 5 games; CLE is at 3.68 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BAL was at 5.28 over 17 games and CLE at 3.9 over 17 games.

Pittsburgh is throwing for 223.4 yards a game, up from 202.4 last season, while Tampa Bay has dropped from 205.9 to 173.4. Five games is a small sample, and the Buccaneers' fall is steep enough that it should recover some. In Tampa, the Steelers have the passing edge for now, and the Bucs need to find more through the air to keep up.

Thornton is staying on injured reserve with a hamstring injury and will not be activated for Sunday's home game against Buffalo. Las Vegas goes another week without him. His absence is already part of how the Raiders' receiver group looks, so it should not move this game much on its own.

Conner is on injured reserve with a foot injury and is close to practicing, but Arizona is not expected to open his 21-day return window this week, per Arizona Sports.

KC has won 4 straight

Kansas City is 4-0 and has won every game this season. Four games is a decent early sample, but the sheet does not show who they beat or by how much. Hosting a Chargers team that has yet to win, Kansas City will be a heavy favorite, so the useful angle is the size of the spread more than who wins.

ARI has lost 4 straight

Arizona won its opener and has lost four straight since, sitting at 1-4. The sheet gives no opponents or margins, so the slide cannot be pinned on schedule or on one unit. Going to the Rams, the market will price that recent form in, so the question for a bettor is whether four losses have moved the number more than the matchup warrants.

A.J. Brown (WR) is ir-r for NE

Tank Dell (WR) is ir-r for HOU

Dell is on injured reserve with a designation to return and has been ruled out for the London game against Jacksonville with a knee injury. He will not play this week. Houston's receiving targets go elsewhere for at least one more game.

Yandy Diaz: .450 OPS in Last 15 Days

Diaz has an .450 OPS over his last 40 at-bats, so he is rarely reaching base and the ball isn't carrying. His full-season mark is .805, which puts him .355 below his normal level. Forty at-bats is a short slump for a hitter with that track record, and cold stretches like this usually fade back toward the season number. On his props at Cleveland, lean on the .805 more than the last 15 days.

IND: 66.7% red-zone scoring rate to TEN's 46.2%

Indianapolis scores touchdowns on 66.7% of red-zone trips through 5 games, close to its 65.2% last season, so that looks like who they are. Tennessee has fallen to 46.2% from 57.6% last season, which points to drives that stall into field goals. Over 5 games red-zone rates swing a lot on a handful of snaps, so Tennessee has room to bounce back. The gap matters most in how close games stay: Titans drives into the red zone are more likely to settle for three.

Last season over 17 games he threw for 3693 yards, completed 63.2% and averaged 6.8 yards per attempt, 26-11 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 2-2 touchdown-to-interception line is 3 games in. Baker Mayfield is also listed d for this matchup.

Lamar Jackson is the projected starting quarterback for BAL

JAX: 33.3% red-zone scoring allowed to HOU's 58.3%

Jacksonville lets opponents score on a third of their red-zone trips over five games, and Houston allows 58.3%. Red-zone rates come from few trips and drift toward average, so Jacksonville's number is the most likely to rise. For this game, the Jaguars are the defence turning opponent drives into field goals, which matters for totals.

Ryan Browne is PUR's projected starter

Ryan Browne is PUR's projected starting quarterback. Purdue's Washington game-week notes identify Browne as its starting quarterback. A separate game-day starter announcement was not verified. 2026 line: 1502 passing yards, 68.4% completions, 8.63 yards per attempt, 8-1 TD-INT over 6 games.

Elijah Brown is WASH's projected starter

Elijah Brown is WASH's projected starting quarterback. October 15 reporting says Brown will likely start at Purdue because Demond Williams Jr.'s rib injury leaves his availability uncertain; a definitive starter announcement was not established. 2026 line: 276 passing yards, 71.4% completions, 6.57 yards per attempt, 4-0 TD-INT over 2 games.

PUR: 45.2% on third down to WASH's 31.3%

Purdue's offense is moving the chains on nearly half its third downs, while Washington's offense converts fewer than a third. Both numbers flipped from last season, when Washington hit 50.3% over 13 games and Purdue 38.6% over 12. Six games is a real sample, though Washington's drop from that 50.3% leaves room to climb back. Short third downs favor Purdue's ability to extend drives, so watch whether Washington's offense keeps stalling and handing Purdue the ball back.

ATL: 5.02 yards per play allowed to CHI's 6

Atlanta allows 5.02 yards a play over five games, and Chicago allows 6. The Bears let offences move, even though their third-down defence has gotten them off the field. With Chicago at Atlanta, the Falcons' offence should find room on early downs.

BAL: 229.8 team passing yards per game to CLE's 179.4

BAL is at 229.8 team passing yards per game over 5 games; CLE is at 179.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BAL was at 175.6 over 17 games and CLE at 165.2 over 17 games.

PIT: 223.4 team passing yards per game to TB's 173.4

PIT is at 223.4 team passing yards per game over 5 games; TB is at 173.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season PIT was at 202.4 over 17 games and TB at 205.9 over 17 games.

AFC WEST game: LAC 0-2, KC 2-0 in the division

SEA: 96 rushing yards allowed per game to DEN's 139.8

SEA is at 96 rushing yards allowed per game over 6 games; DEN is at 139.8 over 6 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

Big Ten game: WASH 0-3, PUR 2-1 in conference

Washington has not won a Big Ten game yet in three tries, while Purdue has taken two of its three. Three conference games is a short sample, and the sheet doesn't say who either team played or by how much, so the records tell you results more than quality. Washington travels to Purdue here, and a winless conference team on the road is a spot where the market can lean hard against it. Check the margins in those three Washington losses before assuming the gap is as wide as the records say.

NYG: 34:02 time of possession per game to NO's 29:17

The Giants hold the ball 34:02 a game through 5 games, up from 30:58 last season, while New Orleans sits at 29:17, near its 28:36 last season. The Giants have clearly built around long, clock-eating drives this year. If they control the clock again, the game has fewer total possessions, which tends to pull scoring down and limit how often the Saints get chances.

CLE: 3.2 sacks recorded per game to BAL's 2

Cleveland gets 3.2 sacks a game over five, and Baltimore gets 2. Sack rates hold up better than turnovers, though opponents' protection isn't on the sheet. With Baltimore at Cleveland, the Browns' pass rush is the likeliest way to stall Ravens drives.

NYJ: 3.4 sacks recorded per game to NE's 2.2

The Jets pass rush is getting home more than three times a game through 5 games, and New England's sits at 2.2 over the same stretch. The sheet doesn't say which quarterbacks either side faced, so some of the gap may come from schedule. Five games is enough to take the Jets rush seriously. In this game, Jets pressure against the New England pocket is the matchup to price into Patriots drives and quarterback props.

LAC: 2.2 sacks recorded per game to KC's 1

The Chargers are averaging 2.2 sacks a game over 5 games, and Kansas City has managed just 1 a game over 4. That is a thin Chiefs rush on a small sample, and one more game could move it a lot. For this game, the Chargers quarterback has looked likely to get a clean pocket, while the Chargers rush has been the one actually landing hits.

CHI: 41.8 penalty yards per game to ATL's 71

Chicago is losing 41.8 yards a game to penalties over 5 games, down from 57.1 last season, while Atlanta has climbed to 71 from 48.2. Atlanta's jump is the one that looks out of character and could settle down, but over 5 games it is a real drag on drives. Flags that extend opponent possessions or erase gains matter more in a close game, and Chicago has been the cleaner team so far.

DAL: 23.2 first downs per game to GB's 17.2

Dallas is moving the chains 23.2 times a game through 5 games, almost identical to its 23.1 last season, so that is a steady identity. Green Bay is down to 17.2 from 19.6 last season, a slide that may partly reflect the opponents faced and has room to recover. The Cowboys should be the team sustaining drives, and Green Bay will likely need fewer, bigger plays to keep pace at home.

SEA: 5.3 yards per play to DEN's 4.33

Seattle gains 5.3 yards a play over 6 games while Denver sits at 4.33, and both are down from last season, Seattle from 5.98 and Denver from 5.32. Denver's offense has slipped the most and has to grind out drives. That fits a lower-tempo game where Denver struggles to create easy yardage, while Seattle's edge would come from efficiency even with its sack problems.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

NE: 5.84 yards per play to NYJ's 4.88

New England gains 5.84 yards a play to the Jets' 4.88 through 5 games, and the Patriots' last game had 7 plays of 20-plus yards with Drake Maye hitting Kyle Williams for 49 and 34. That big-play stretch sits a bit below last season's 6.23 pace overall, so it looks sustainable. The Jets are up from 4.36 last season, and Geno Smith to Garrett Wilson produced two of their three explosive plays last game. New England is the side more likely to score quickly, while the Jets need longer drives.

AFC SOUTH game: TEN 0-1, IND 1-0 in the division

This is the first division game for Indianapolis at 1-0 and the second for Tennessee at 0-1, so each record is one game. One division result says almost nothing about how these two match up. Weigh the overall form of each team over that single game.

NFC WEST game: ARI 0-2, LAR 0-1 in the division

Arizona has lost both of its division games and the Rams lost their only one. These are samples of two games and one game, too small to say either team has a problem inside the NFC West. Overall form will tell a bettor more about this matchup than the division split.

NYJ (2-3) at NE (3-2), a division game

New England is 2-0 at home with two straight wins and a +16 margin, while the Jets are 2-3 but only -3 overall. That makes New York closer to average than its record looks, and the Jets are 1-2 on the road. A division game between a modest favorite and a team with a near-even margin often stays tight.

WASH: 22.2 points allowed per game to PUR's 31.3

Washington's defense gives up 22.2 points a game, while Purdue's allows 31.3, so one side keeps games in a range and the other turns them into shootouts. Both numbers sit close to last season, when Washington allowed 18.7 and Purdue 31.8, which makes six games look like the real thing. Washington's figure has crept up a bit, but Purdue's leak looks like who they are. Purdue at home likely has to outscore people, and that shapes how this game gets played.

PUR: 45.2% third-down conversion rate to WASH's 31.3%

Purdue converts 45.2% of third downs and Washington only 31.3%, so Purdue is the team staying on the field and controlling the clock. That's a flip from last season, when Washington converted 50.3% over 13 games and Purdue 38.6%. Six games is a real sample, but a swing that big for Washington suggests some of it should drift back toward its old level. Lean on Purdue sustaining drives, but don't price Washington's third-down offense as broken for good.

Brayan Rocchio: 1.068 OPS in Last 15 Days

Rocchio has a 1.068 OPS over his last 34 at-bats, far above the .705 he carries for the season. In a sample that small, a few extra-base hits can push the number this high. His 15 home runs show the power is real, though the OPS should drift back toward his baseline. On a 0.5 total-bases line he only needs one hit, so the bar is low, and his season numbers give a steadier picture than the hot streak.

DAL: 27.6 points per game to GB's 20.8

DAL is at 27.6 points per game over 5 games; GB is at 20.8 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season DAL was at 27.7 over 17 games and GB at 23 over 17 games.

PHI: 50% red-zone scoring allowed to CAR's 72.7%

CAR is at 72.7% red-zone scoring allowed over 4 games; PHI is at 50% over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

CHI: 4.2 red-zone trips per game to ATL's 2.6

CHI is at 4.2 red-zone trips per game over 5 games; ATL is at 2.6 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season CHI was at 3.24 over 17 games and ATL at 2.94 over 17 games.

BAL: 3.8 red-zone trips per game to CLE's 2.2

BAL is at 3.8 red-zone trips per game over 5 games; CLE is at 2.2 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BAL was at 3.47 over 17 games and CLE at 2.24 over 17 games.

BAL: 0.6 turnovers committed per game to CLE's 1.4

BAL is at 0.6 turnovers committed per game over 5 games; CLE is at 1.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BAL was at 1.35 over 17 games and CLE at 1.47 over 17 games.

GB: 127.6 rushing yards allowed per game to DAL's 168.4

DAL is at 168.4 rushing yards allowed per game over 5 games; GB is at 127.6 over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

KC: 0.5 interceptions thrown per game to LAC's 1.4

LAC is at 1.4 interceptions thrown per game over 5 games; KC is at 0.5 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season LAC was at 0.82 over 17 games and KC at 0.71 over 17 games.

TEN: 5.22 yards per play allowed to IND's 6.14

Tennessee is giving up 5.22 yards per play through 5 games, and Indianapolis is allowing 6.14, which is a leaky number. The sheet has no opponent detail, so it can't separate a bad Colts unit from a tough early schedule. Five games of 6.14 is a real signal. For this game, Titans drives have a friendlier field than their own defense hands the Colts, which matters for totals and Titans scoring props.

JAX: 114.2 rushing yards per game to HOU's 79

HOU is at 79 rushing yards per game over 5 games; JAX is at 114.2 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season HOU was at 108.9 over 17 games and JAX at 115.1 over 17 games.

BAL is at 21.6 first downs per game over 5 games; CLE is at 16.2 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BAL was at 18.5 over 17 games and CLE at 15.8 over 17 games.

CAR @ PHI carries a 38.5 market total

The current fanduel total is 38.5, 5.5 points below the 44 median across 14 games with posted totals on this slate.

KC: 19.3 points allowed per game to LAC's 25.8

LAC is at 25.8 points allowed per game over 5 games; KC is at 19.3 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season LAC was at 20 over 17 games and KC at 19.3 over 17 games.

NO: 81.3% red-zone scoring rate to NYG's 64.3%

NO is at 81.3% red-zone scoring rate over 5 games; NYG is at 64.3% over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season NO was at 44.4% over 17 games and NYG at 47.5% over 17 games.

CAR: 4.25 red-zone trips per game to PHI's 2.8

CAR is at 4.25 red-zone trips per game over 4 games; PHI is at 2.8 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season CAR was at 2.65 over 17 games and PHI at 2.59 over 17 games.

BUF: 32.8 points per game to LV's 26.4

BUF is at 32.8 points per game over 5 games; LV is at 26.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BUF was at 28.3 over 17 games and LV at 14.2 over 17 games.

PIT: 60% fourth-down conversion rate to TB's 28.6%

Pittsburgh converts 60% of fourth downs through 5 games, up from 52.2% last season, while Tampa Bay is at 28.6% after 44.8%. Fourth-down rates over 5 games come from only a few tries, so both numbers can swing hard and Tampa's dip looks especially likely to move. The edge is real only in a couple of key snaps, so it matters most in tight games where going for it decides a drive.

PUR: 133 rushing yards per game to WASH's 90.3

Purdue runs for 133 yards a game, while Washington manages 90.3, so Purdue leans on the ground and Washington has stalled there. Last season Washington ran for 165.5 over 13 games, so this drop is a big change in identity. Purdue's 126.4 last season says their number is steady. If Washington can't find its old ground game on the road, this matchup tilts toward Purdue setting the tempo and Washington needing to throw.

SF: 4.7 yards per play allowed to WSH's 5.54

WSH is at 5.54 yards per play allowed over 5 games; SF is at 4.7 over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

PHI: 118 rushing yards allowed per game to CAR's 156.5

Philadelphia allows 118 rushing yards a game over 5 games, and Carolina gives up 156.5 over 4. A team that falls behind sees fewer runs, so the Panthers number may understate how often opponents chose to run. For this game, the Eagles ground game has the clearer path, which makes their rushing props and clock control part of how this one plays out.

PHI has lost 3 straight

Philadelphia is 2-3 after losing three in a row, so both wins came before the slide. The sheet does not show who those losses came against. A three-game skid on a team at 2-3 can move a home line, and hosting Carolina, the spot to weigh is whether the market has overcorrected on the recent results.

NO has lost 3 straight

New Orleans is 1-4 and has lost three straight. The sheet gives no opponents or margins, so the slide is hard to explain from here. On the road at the Giants, check whether three losses have pushed the line further than one more road game justifies.

BAL has won 3 straight

Baltimore is 4-1 with three straight wins since its only loss. The sheet does not list the opponents, so how much the run is earned is unclear. Three wins is a short streak, and on the road at Cleveland the price will likely reflect Baltimore's record more than the streak itself.

JAX has won 3 straight

Jacksonville is 4-1 and has won three in a row after its one loss. The sheet does not say who those wins came against, so the streak's strength is hard to judge. Hosting Houston, a bettor can treat the streak as a sign of current form while checking whether the line already leans on it.

HOU: 261.8 team passing yards per game to JAX's 220.6

HOU is at 261.8 team passing yards per game over 5 games; JAX is at 220.6 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season HOU was at 218.1 over 17 games and JAX at 222.3 over 17 games.

NO: 240.2 team passing yards per game to NYG's 199.2

NO is at 240.2 team passing yards per game over 5 games; NYG is at 199.2 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season NO was at 219.3 over 17 games and NYG at 204.4 over 17 games.

BUF: 8.2 yards per pass attempt to LV's 6.7

BUF is at 8.2 yards per pass attempt over 5 games; LV is at 6.7 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BUF was at 6.88 over 17 games and LV at 4.94 over 17 games.

BUF: 50% third-down conversion rate to LV's 39.4%

BUF is at 50% third-down conversion rate over 5 games; LV is at 39.4% over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BUF was at 44.8% over 17 games and LV at 33.8% over 17 games.

Mason Graham (DT) is questionable for CLE

CLE lists Mason Graham as questionable on the injury report. Reported Oct 17.

Nick Martinez: 5.84 ERA over his last 3 starts

Martinez has a 5.84 ERA over his last 3 starts and has covered just 12.1 innings, barely four a start. Runners keep reaching base: a 1.62 WHIP in that stretch against 1.09 for the season. Three starts is a small sample next to a 3.10 season ERA, so this could swing back. The bigger concern against Cleveland is length, because another early exit hands more innings to the bullpen.

PUR -2.5 → -3.5

Gary's number was -2.5; the same book now shows -3.5.

Ja'Marcus Ingram (CB) is ir-r for HOU

Houston opened Ja'Marcus Ingram's 21-day window to return from injured reserve on Wednesday. He can practice now but has not been activated, so he is not available for Sunday at Jacksonville unless the team activates him. This one matters for Texans depth at cornerback over the next three weeks more than for this game.

Montez Sweat (DE) is reserve-sus for CHI

The NFL announced Tuesday that Sweat has been suspended two games without pay for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports. Reported Oct 13.

SF lists Siran Neal as questionable on the injury report. Reported Oct 15.

Jadarian Price (RB) is on injured reserve for SEA

Jadarian Price is on injured reserve and will not face Denver. Coach Mike Macdonald said Price should return sooner rather than later after Week 7, so his absence looks short. For this game Seattle's other backs carry the load, and Price's return is something to factor in for the weeks that follow.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

CHI: 19.2 points allowed a game to ATL's 24.4

Chicago's defense has allowed 19.2 points a game through five games, a real improvement from 24.4 last season. Atlanta has allowed 24.4 this year, close to its 23.6 from last season, so its number looks like who it is. Chicago's gain is the one more likely to move. On the road in Atlanta, the Bears' defense is the reason they can keep this one close.

IND: 64.4 offensive plays per game to TEN's 54.6

TEN is at 54.6 offensive plays per game over 5 games; IND is at 64.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season TEN was at 59.1 over 17 games and IND at 59.9 over 17 games.

PIT: 2.2 sacks recorded per game to TB's 1.2

Pittsburgh is recording 2.2 sacks a game over 5 games, and Tampa Bay is at 1.2. The sheet has no opponent detail, so a soft run of offensive lines could be part of the Steelers number. For this game, the Tampa Bay quarterback faces the steadier pressure, while the Steelers pocket has stayed cleaner against this kind of rush.

NE: 2.2 sacks taken per game to NYJ's 3.2

NYJ is at 3.2 sacks taken per game over 5 games; NE is at 2.2 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season NYJ was at 3.75 over 17 games and NE at 3 over 17 games.

LAR: 1.4 sacks taken per game to ARI's 2.4

ARI is at 2.4 sacks taken per game over 5 games; LAR is at 1.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season ARI was at 3.69 over 17 games and LAR at 1.77 over 17 games.

BUF: 71.4% red-zone scoring rate to LV's 55.6%

BUF is at 71.4% red-zone scoring rate over 5 games; LV is at 55.6% over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season BUF was at 66.2% over 17 games and LV at 50% over 17 games.

TB has 3 more days of rest

Tampa Bay gets a normal week, 8 days, while Pittsburgh travels on a short week of 5. That is a 3-day gap, smaller than a bye edge, but the Steelers still have to fit recovery, a game plan and a trip into fewer days. Short-week road teams usually lean on simpler plans. Think of it as a modest preparation edge for the home side, not a big one.

DAL has 3 more days of rest

Dallas comes in on 8 days and Green Bay is at home on a short week of 5. The Packers skip travel, which softens the squeeze, but they still lose practice and recovery time against a team that had a normal week. A 3-day gap is a small schedule edge. It matters most if either side is nursing injuries, since the extra days help the Cowboys get bodies back.

CHI (3-2) at ATL (2-3)

Chicago is +23 at 3-2, and Atlanta is 0-2 at home with a -3 margin. The Falcons have not won at home yet, which removes the usual home edge from this spot. The Bears' margin points to a better team than the records show, and Atlanta's home split gives a bettor no reason to adjust toward the host.

NO (1-4) at NYG (3-1-1)

The Giants are 3-0 at home, but their +3 margin at 3-1-1 says they are winning close games. New Orleans has lost three straight and sits at -33. The Giants' home split is real, but a team this close to even in margin is vulnerable to regression, which matters most when pricing how much they should be favored.

CAR (2-2) at PHI (2-3)

Philadelphia has lost three straight and is -20, while Carolina is 2-2 and +12. Both are 1-1 in their home and road splits, so venue adds little. The Panthers have the better margin and the Eagles the worse momentum, so the records here are closer than the underlying play.

WSH (1-3-1) at SF (5-0)

WSH is 1-3-1, -34 points on the year this season. SF is 5-0, +61 points on the year, has won 5 straight this season. WSH is 0-2 on the road; SF is 3-0 at home.

SEA (3-3) at DEN (4-2)

Denver has the better record and the hot hand, but Seattle has outscored opponents by 26 while Denver is 11 points underwater, so the standings flatter the Broncos. Six games is a short sample, and point differential usually catches up to records over time. Denver's 3-0 home mark matters here, and Seattle is 1-2 on the road. This spot asks whether you trust the streak and the venue or the underlying scoring margin.

P Edge side won; final 14-17

SEA: 6.47 yards per pass attempt to DEN's 5.08

SEA is at 6.47 yards per pass attempt over 6 games; DEN is at 5.08 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season SEA was at 8.01 over 17 games and DEN at 5.99 over 17 games.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

LAR: 32.8% third downs allowed to ARI's 42.1%

The Rams let opponents convert 32.8% of third downs through 5 games, and Arizona allows 42.1%. Third down rates bounce around more than per-play numbers, so expect both to drift. For this game, Cardinals drives are more likely to stall, which helps the case for Rams possession and Arizona under looks.

PIT @ TB carries a 39.5 market total

At 39.5, this sits 4.5 points below the 44 slate median, so the market expects scoring to come slower than a typical game this week. That leans on drives stalling and field goals filling in for touchdowns. It cracks with an early touchdown exchange or a defensive score. A bettor can note that 4.5 points is about one field goal and change, which makes this total more sensitive to a single swing play than the bigger outliers.

SEA: 24.7 points per game to DEN's 19

SEA is at 24.7 points per game over 6 games; DEN is at 19 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season SEA was at 28.4 over 17 games and DEN at 23.6 over 17 games.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

NYJ: 4.5 yards per play allowed to NE's 5.26

The Jets allow 4.5 yards per play through 5 games, and New England allows 5.26. Yards per play is one of the steadier defensive stats, so the Jets number should mostly hold. For this game, Patriots drives face the tougher defense, which points toward lower New England yardage props.

TEN: 21.8 points allowed per game to IND's 27.6

TEN is at 21.8 points allowed per game over 5 games; IND is at 27.6 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season TEN was at 28.1 over 17 games and IND at 24.2 over 17 games.

Dre Greenlaw (LB) is reserve-sus for SF

Greenlaw's appeal of a one-game suspension was denied by the NFL on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Reported Oct 14.

GB: 181 passing yards allowed per game to DAL's 227

DAL is at 227 passing yards allowed per game over 5 games; GB is at 181 over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

LV: 236.4 passing yards allowed per game to BUF's 280.4

Las Vegas allows 236.4 passing yards a game over 5 games, and Buffalo gives up 280.4. Teams that build leads face more passing, so Buffalo's number may partly come from game script, and the sheet doesn't say. For this game, the Raiders passing game gets the more yielding coverage, which is the angle for their quarterback and receiver props.

BUF: 108.2 rushing yards allowed per game to LV's 140.6

Buffalo allows 108.2 rushing yards a game through 5 games, and Las Vegas gives up 140.6. A team trailing sees fewer runs, so the Raiders number could be even softer than it looks. For this game, the Bills ground game has the easier front, which supports their rushing props and time of possession.

CAR: 67 offensive plays per game to PHI's 57.8

CAR is at 67 offensive plays per game over 4 games; PHI is at 57.8 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season CAR was at 59.5 over 17 games and PHI at 59.4 over 17 games.

TB: 72.8 rushing yards allowed per game to PIT's 103.4

Tampa Bay allows just 72.8 rushing yards a game through 5 games, and Pittsburgh gives up 103.4. Teams that fall behind run less, so some of Tampa's number may be script, and the sheet doesn't say how those games went. For this game, the Steelers ground game faces the tougher front, which leans against their rushing props.

Shawn Armstrong owns a 5.71 ERA at Progressive Field and 3.50 everywhere else

Armstrong's ERA at Progressive Field is 5.71, against 3.50 everywhere else. That split comes from just 17.1 innings in Cleveland and 18.0 elsewhere, which for a reliever is a handful of bad outings. Hitters are batting only .239 off him there, so a couple of big innings explain the gap better than the park does. Judge his relief work tonight on his usual form and don't mark him down much for the venue.

JAX: 1.6 takeaways per game to HOU's 1

Jacksonville is forcing 1.6 takeaways a game over 5 games, and Houston is at 1. Takeaways are one of the noisiest stats in football and tend to drift toward average. For this game, the Jaguars have been the more opportunistic defense, which is better used as a small nudge than a reason to bet.

GB: 44.3% third downs allowed to DAL's 52.6%

DAL is at 52.6% third downs allowed over 5 games; GB is at 44.3% over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

LAR: 116.8 rushing yards per game to ARI's 91.6

ARI is at 91.6 rushing yards per game over 5 games; LAR is at 116.8 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season ARI was at 93.1 over 17 games and LAR at 126.6 over 17 games.

WSH: 0.4 turnovers committed per game to SF's 1

WSH is at 0.4 turnovers committed per game over 5 games; SF is at 1 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season WSH was at 1.35 over 17 games and SF at 1.29 over 17 games.

NYG: 1.6 takeaways per game to NO's 1

The Giants are forcing 1.6 takeaways a game over 5 games, and New Orleans is at 1. Turnover numbers swing on bounces and rarely hold at the extremes. For this game, the Giants defense has created more chances, which is a mild edge at best.

TB: 3.4 red-zone trips per game to PIT's 2.2

PIT is at 2.2 red-zone trips per game over 5 games; TB is at 3.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season PIT was at 3 over 17 games and TB at 2.94 over 17 games.

WASH: 1.5 takeaways per game to PUR's 0.83

Washington's defense forces about one and a half turnovers a game across six games, almost double Purdue's rate. Takeaways swing more from game to game than most defensive numbers, so this edge can shrink quickly. Over six games it still points to a Washington unit that creates extra possessions. In a road spot like this one, a turnover edge can matter in close games and in field-position battles.

ATL: 0.4 fumbles lost per game to CHI's 1

CHI is at 1 fumbles lost per game over 5 games; ATL is at 0.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season CHI was at 0.24 over 17 games and ATL at 0.59 over 17 games.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

BUF (4-1) at LV (3-2)

Buffalo is 4-1, +23 overall and 2-0 on the road, while Las Vegas has dropped two straight with a margin of just +3. The Raiders' 3-2 record looks better than that margin, and their 1-1 home split adds little. The Bills travel well so far, which makes their road form the cleaner signal in this spot.

CLE: 42.9% red-zone scoring allowed to BAL's 58.8%

BAL is at 58.8% red-zone scoring allowed over 5 games; CLE is at 42.9% over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

Cam Ward is the projected starting quarterback for TEN

Through 5 games in 2026, Cam Ward threw for 896 passing yards, completed 63.2% of his passes and averaged 5.78 yards per attempt.

CAR is at 27.3 points allowed per game over 4 games; PHI is at 22.4 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season CAR was at 22.4 over 17 games and PHI at 19.1 over 17 games.

IND: 30.5% third downs allowed to TEN's 38.5%

Indianapolis lets opponents convert fewer than a third of their third downs, which means drives stall and the offense gets the ball back. Five games is a real but small sample, and the sheet doesn't say who those offenses were, so schedule could be helping. Tennessee's defense sits at 38.5% on the same down. If you expect Indy to win the field-position game here, that third-down gap is the reason to lean on it.

NO: 42.8 penalty yards per game to NYG's 60.2

NO is at 42.8 penalty yards per game over 5 games; NYG is at 60.2 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season NO was at 54.1 over 17 games and NYG at 63.2 over 17 games.

Pat Bryant (WR) is on injured reserve for DEN

Denver moved Bryant to injured reserve on Oct 9 with an ankle injury, so he will not play against Seattle. The sheet does not show his role or targets, which makes it hard to say how much the Broncos lose. Look to the receivers still active when sizing up Denver's passing props.

The Seahawks put Neal on injured reserve on Oct 11 with a hamstring injury, so he will not play at Denver. The sheet does not show how much he played or who steps in at corner. A thinner Seattle cornerback group is a reason to look closely at Denver's receivers once the depth chart is set.

P Edge side lost; final 14-17

TEN: 217.8 passing yards allowed per game to IND's 254

TEN is at 217.8 passing yards allowed per game over 5 games; IND is at 254 over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

The Commanders placed Lane (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday. Reported Oct 6.

KC: 92.8 rushing yards allowed per game to LAC's 118.6

LAC is at 118.6 rushing yards allowed per game over 5 games; KC is at 92.8 over 4 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

LAC: 193 passing yards allowed per game to KC's 225

The Chargers hold teams to 193 passing yards a game over five games, the stingiest pass defense in this group. Kansas City allows 225 over four games. If the Chiefs are trailing or forced to throw, this Chargers secondary is the unit that has kept passing totals down so far, which points at the Chiefs' passing yards line as the one to scrutinize.

WSH: 31:14 time of possession per game to SF's 28:36

WSH is at 31:14 time of possession per game over 5 games; SF is at 28:36 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season WSH was at 28:41 over 17 games and SF at 30:54 over 17 games.

PUR: 23.2 first downs per game to WASH's 19.2

WASH is at 19.2 first downs per game over 6 games; PUR is at 23.2 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season WASH was at 22.5 over 13 games and PUR at 19.3 over 12 games.

SF: 2.8 sack yards lost per game to WSH's 9.2

WSH is at 9.2 sack yards lost per game over 5 games; SF is at 2.8 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season WSH was at 12.5 over 17 games and SF at 10.7 over 17 games.

CHI: 53.3% fourth-down conversion rate to ATL's 33.3%

CHI is at 53.3% fourth-down conversion rate over 5 games; ATL is at 33.3% over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season CHI was at 51.7% over 17 games and ATL at 50% over 17 games.

TB: 17 sack yards lost per game to PIT's 23.4

PIT is at 23.4 sack yards lost per game over 5 games; TB is at 17 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season PIT was at 14.8 over 17 games and TB at 15.9 over 17 games.

ATL: 5.84 yards per play to CHI's 5.32

Atlanta gains 5.84 yards a play over 5 games, up from 5.38 last season, while Chicago has slipped to 5.32 from 5.71. Atlanta's last game had 6 plays of 20-plus yards, led by a 38-yard Bijan Robinson run and Michael Penix Jr. throws to Jahan Dotson and Drake London. Chicago managed just 2 with Case Keenum, both passes. The Falcons have the explosive-play edge here, and Chicago likely needs longer drives to keep up.

LAC is at 31.3% third downs allowed over 5 games; KC is at 37% over 4 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

CHI: 219.2 team passing yards per game to ATL's 195

Junior Caminero: .749 OPS in Last 15 Days

Caminero has a .749 OPS over the last 15 days. That is solid production, well short of the .885 he carries for the season. The stretch is 46 at-bats, so a few hard-hit outs or a couple of missing doubles can account for a 0.136 drop. The season number is the better guide to who he is, so on his props in Cleveland, lean on the full-season level ahead of the recent dip.

LAR: 64.7% red-zone scoring allowed to ARI's 76.5%

ARI is at 76.5% red-zone scoring allowed over 5 games; LAR is at 64.7% over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

DAL: 70% red-zone scoring allowed to GB's 81.3%

DAL is at 70% red-zone scoring allowed over 5 games; GB is at 81.3% over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

HOU: 3.6 red-zone trips per game to JAX's 2.8

HOU is at 3.6 red-zone trips per game over 5 games; JAX is at 2.8 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season HOU was at 3.18 over 17 games and JAX at 4 over 17 games.

The Cardinals placed Adams (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Reported Oct 11.

Durham Smythe (TE) is on injured reserve for BAL

CAR is at 37.5% fourth-down conversion rate over 4 games; PHI is at 22.2% over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season CAR was at 67.5% over 17 games and PHI at 52.4% over 17 games.

NYJ is at 58.8 offensive plays per game over 5 games; NE is at 63.8 over 5 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 15. Last season NYJ was at 59.4 over 17 games and NE at 61.4 over 17 games.

Hunter Long (TE) is on injured reserve for ARI

The Cardinals placed Long (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. Reported Oct 6.

Jonny DeLuca: .857 OPS in Last 15 Days

DeLuca has been one of the better Rays bats lately, with an .857 OPS over his last 42 at-bats against .728 for the season. That 0.129 jump comes from about two weeks of at-bats, and short hot stretches tend to settle back toward the season line. His 11 home runs give real power behind it, and power is what a 1.5 total-bases line asks for. Weigh the hot stretch against the bigger season sample before backing the over.

Terrance Ferguson (TE) is on injured reserve for LAR

Ferguson (ankle) is expected to be ready to return after his four-game stint on injured reserve, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. Reported Oct 7.

Trevor Penning (G) is on injured reserve for LAC

The Chargers placed Penning (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 11.

NYJ: 50% red-zone scoring allowed to NE's 60%

NYJ is at 50% red-zone scoring allowed over 5 games; NE is at 60% over 5 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 15.

PIT (3-2) at TB (1-4)

Neither side has won where this game is played: Pittsburgh is 0-2 on the road and Tampa Bay is 0-3 at home. The Steelers are 3-2 but only +2, and the Buccaneers are -12 at 1-4, so the gap in records is wider than the gap in margin. Small splits like these move fast, and venue alone gives no edge to either team.

Reggie Gilliam (FB) is on injured reserve for NE

The Patriots placed Gilliam (ankle/knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. Reported Oct 11.

Ethan Pocic (C) is on injured reserve for BAL

Baltimore placed Pocic (knee) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 4.

Paris Johnson Jr. (OT) is on injured reserve for ARI

The Cardinals placed Johnson (biceps) on injured reserve Tuesday. Reported Oct 7.

Rashawn Slater (OT) is on injured reserve for LAC

The Chargers placed Slater (ankle) on injured reserve Friday. Reported Oct 10.

Demond Williams Jr. (QB) is questionable for WASH

Quarterback; rib injury. October 15 availability reproduction retains questionable status. The Spokesman-Review / Seattle Times: Can Washington Huskies backup QB Elijah Brown spark the offense at Purdue? (2026-10-15) The Sports Wire: Washington 2026 — October 15 Big Ten availability report reproduction for Purdue (2026-10-15)

LAR is on a short week

Both teams are on a short week: Arizona on 5 days and the Rams on 4. Neither side gets a clean prep window, and the Cardinals also have to travel. With both teams compressed, the calendar mostly cancels out, so expect simpler game plans on both sides.

BUF is on a short week

Buffalo travels on 4 days of rest and Las Vegas is home on 5, so both teams are on a short week. The Bills carry the tighter turnaround plus a long trip west, which is the tougher combination. The gap is small, so weigh it as a minor factor for Buffalo.

Jaylin Smith (CB) is on injured reserve for HOU

Smith (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve by the Texans on Tuesday. Reported Oct 7.

Braxton Jones (OT) is on injured reserve for CHI

The Bears placed Jones (knee) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 4.

Braiden McGregor (DE) is on injured reserve for NYJ

McGregor (pectoral) was placed on the Jets' injured reserve list Wednesday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports. Reported Oct 7.

Caleb Ransaw (S) is on injured reserve for JAX

The Jaguars placed Ransaw (knee) on their injured reserve list Tuesday. Reported Oct 7.

Derrick Harmon (DT) is on injured reserve for PIT

The Steelers placed Harmon (foot) on injured reserve Monday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports. Reported Oct 5.

Warren Brinson (DT) is on injured reserve for GB

Green Bay placed Brinson (calf/groin) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 3.

DAL (2-3) at GB (3-2)

Green Bay has won two straight at 3-2 but is -8, while Dallas is 2-3 and +2. Those margins suggest the Cowboys are slightly better than their record and the Packers slightly worse. Both are 1-1 in the relevant split, so home field tells a bettor little here and the margin is the clearer guide.

Edgerrin Cooper (LB) is on injured reserve for GB

Cooper (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve by the Packers on Tuesday. Reported Oct 6.

Tampa Bay Rays are 25-14 in one-run games (.641 win rate)

Tampa Bay Rays are 25-14 in one-run games in the 2026 regular season (39 completed games). They are 73-50 in their other 123 completed games.

Anthony Johnson Jr. (S) is on injured reserve for CHI

CHI lists Anthony Johnson Jr. as on injured reserve on the injury report. Reported Oct 17.

DeShon Elliott (S) is on injured reserve for PIT

PIT lists DeShon Elliott as on injured reserve on the injury report. Reported Oct 17.

Jovaughn Gwyn (G) is on injured reserve for BAL

The Ravens moved Gwyn (ankle) to injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 4.

TEN is on a short week

Tennessee and Indianapolis are both on 5 days of rest. Equal short weeks mean neither team gains prep time on the other, and the Titans make a short divisional trip. The schedule is not a factor worth leaning on here.

NYJ is on a short week

The Jets and Patriots are both on 5 days, so the short week is shared. Familiar division opponents help on a compressed schedule since both staffs know each other well. The calendar gives neither side an edge.

NO is on a short week

New Orleans and the Giants both come in on 5 days of rest. The Saints add travel on the short week, which is the only tilt in the schedule. Matched rest otherwise leaves this to the matchup.

WSH is on a short week

Washington and San Francisco are both on 5 days, but the Commanders also make a cross-country trip on that short week. Same rest count, very different travel load, and that leans toward the home side. It is a modest factor, best used as a tiebreaker in how you view this game.

SEA is on a short week

Both Seattle and Denver are listed at 1 day since their last game, the same short turnaround for each side. Matched rest means the schedule gives neither team an edge here.

P Edge side won; final 14-17

HOU is on a short week

Houston and Jacksonville both come in on 5 days, so the short week hits each side equally. Neither team gets a prep advantage, and the Texans also handle travel, though it is a short divisional trip. The calendar is close to a wash in this one.

CHI is on a short week

Chicago and Atlanta are both on 5 days of rest, so neither side gets a schedule edge. The Bears have to travel on the short week, which is the only real difference. Expect both teams to lean on simpler plans.

BAL is on a short week

Baltimore and Cleveland both come in on 5 days, a short week for each. The trip is a short divisional one for the Ravens, so the calendar is close to even. Matched rest leaves this one to the matchup itself.

HOU and JAX are even since 2025

Two games, one win each, and both went to the home team. Jacksonville won 17-10 at home on Sep 21, a low-scoring grind, and Houston answered 36-29 at home on Nov 9 in a shootout. That is a tiny sample with two very different game scripts, so it says little about who has the edge. This one is in Jacksonville, and the only pattern on the sheet is that the host won both meetings.

BAL lead the series with CLE since 2025

Baltimore won both meetings last season, though they looked very different. The Sep 14 game at home was a 41-17 rout, while the Nov 16 trip to Cleveland was a tighter 23-16. Two games is a small sample, and the road win was much closer than the home blowout. This one is in Cleveland again, so the November score is the closer guide to how a game there played out.

IND lead the series with TEN since 2025

Indianapolis won both meetings last season, and neither was close: 41-20 at Tennessee in Sep and 38-14 at home in Oct. Those are two lopsided games from last season, so they say more about how the Colts handled this matchup then than about either roster now. Use the series as a reason to check whether Tennessee has fixed what went wrong in those games before trusting the history again.

LAC lead the series with KC since 2025

The Chargers won both meetings, and both were close. They won 27-21 at home on Sep 5 and 16-13 in Kansas City on Dec 14, a combined margin of nine points across the two games. That is a two-game sample, and the scores say these teams were evenly matched despite the sweep. This one is back in Kansas City, where the last meeting was a three-point game.

LAR lead the series with ARI since 2025

The Rams won both meetings last season by wide margins. They won 45-17 in Arizona on Dec 7 and 37-20 at home on Jan 4. Arizona allowed 37 or more in both games. Two games is a small sample, but both were lopsided in the same direction, and this rematch is in Los Angeles, where the Rams won by 17.

NE lead the series with NYJ since 2025

New England swept both meetings, and neither was close. The Patriots won 27-14 at home on Nov 13, then went to New York on Dec 28 and won 42-10. The Jets scored 14 and 10 in those games. Two games is a small sample, but both showed the same gap, so a bettor pricing this rematch in Foxborough starts from a matchup that has been one-way recently.

DAL and GB are even since 2025

The only meeting was a 40-40 tie in Dallas on Sep 28, so neither side has an edge in this series. One game is a thin sample, but it was a high-scoring shootout with both offenses putting up 40. This rematch moves to Green Bay, so the venue changes from that one data point.

DEN lead the series with SEA since 2025

This series is one game: Denver beat Seattle 17-14 at home on Oct 15. A three-point home win is about as close as it gets, so the 1-0 edge says little about which side is better. Look at this as a matchup that stayed tight, and lean on each team's form elsewhere over one close result.

P Edge side won; final 14-17

WASH lead the series with PUR since 2025

The whole series is one game: Washington beat Purdue 49-13 at home on Nov 15 last season, a one-way result. That meeting was in Washington, and this one moves to Purdue's place, so the setting flips. One lopsided game is a thin record to lean on, and rosters turn over between seasons. Use it as a sign of how wide the gap was last year, then check whether this season's form backs it up before trusting it on the road.

NO lead the series with NYG since 2025

There is only one meeting to go on: New Orleans beat the Giants 26-14 at home on Oct 5. One game is a thin sample, and it was played in New Orleans while this one is in New York, so the venue has flipped. A bettor should give that single result little weight when sizing up this matchup.
