Sports picks for Friday, November 6, 2026

MIN: 13.3 points allowed per game to BUF's 25.9

Minnesota has allowed about half as many points a game as Buffalo, and both have moved sharply from last season: the Vikings from 19.6 and the Bills from 21.5. Seven games is a modest sample, and the Vikings' mark looks harder to maintain than Buffalo's is to improve, since both sit well away from last season. Minnesota's defense has the better case for shaping this game, while Buffalo has given opponents chances to stay in it. Check the schedule behind both numbers before building a total around them.

BUF: 6.41 yards per play to MIN's 4.74

Buffalo gains far more on each snap than Minnesota, which means the Bills need fewer plays to score and the Vikings need long, clean drives. This gap also existed last season, when Buffalo was at 5.94 and Minnesota at 4.82, so 7 games is confirming a known trend. Buffalo's rise may ease a little, but Minnesota looks like the same low-yield offense. A team this limited per play has less margin for penalties or negative plays, which matters most if it falls behind.

BUF: 33.3 points per game to MIN's 20

Buffalo is outscoring Minnesota's offense by nearly two touchdowns a game, with the Bills up from 28.3 last season and the Vikings almost exactly at last season's 20.2. Minnesota's number looks stable after 7 games, while Buffalo's jump has more room to settle back. The Bills carry the higher ceiling here, and the Vikings have shown little sign of winning a track meet. Weigh this against each defense before assuming the game follows Buffalo's scoring pace.

CIN: 288.4 team passing yards per game to ATL's 188.4

Cincinnati has a far more productive passing game than Atlanta, at 288.4 yards a game after 235.6 last season, while Atlanta has slid from 207.2. If the Bengals pass at that rate, the Falcons may have to keep up through the air, which they haven't done in 8 games. Seven games is a decent sample, but these totals can swell when a team plays from behind, and Cincinnati's jump is big enough to expect some pullback. Check how each team's passing yards came before pricing a shootout.

HOU: 0.43 turnovers committed per game to LAC's 2.43

Houston almost never gives the ball away, while the Chargers have given it away about two more times a game across 7 games each. Both teams have moved from last season's marks, with Houston at 0.71 and the Chargers at 1.24, and the Chargers' rate is the likelier one to come down because turnovers swing a lot from game to game. Houston has been careful for two seasons, which makes its side sturdier. Be wary of a spread that assumes the full giveaway gap will repeat.

NO: 77.3% red-zone scoring rate to CLE's 42.9%

New Orleans has turned red-zone trips into scores far more often than Cleveland this season, a huge swing from 44.4% last season. Cleveland has gone the other way, down from 52.6%. Red-zone rates rest on a limited number of snaps, even over 7 and 8 games, so the Saints' jump is the number most likely to cool. Don't assume the same finishing gap will hold when pricing the total or team totals, especially if the teams' yardage looks closer than their scoring.

DET: 264 team passing yards per game to MIA's 166.7

Detroit moves the ball through the air far better than Miami, and this is close to last season's picture: 253.1 yards a game for the Lions then, 180.5 for the Dolphins. Because both teams are near those marks after 7 games, the gap looks more real than fluky. Miami's low number can also reflect game script and run-heavy plans, so it may understate what the Dolphins can do. The main test is whether Miami can stay close enough to keep Detroit from dictating the game.

DET: 29 points per game to MIA's 16.7

Detroit is scoring at nearly the same rate as last season's 28.3, so 29 points a game looks like the real offense after 7 games. Miami has dropped from 20.4, and that lower number has more room to bounce back, though the Dolphins haven't shown it yet. If the Lions hit their usual output, Miami has to play well above its season pace to keep up. That makes the Dolphins' team total and ability to stay close the first things to check.

Sam Darnold (QB) is out for SEA

Seattle will play the Cardinals on Sunday without its quarterback, and the quadriceps injury may cost Darnold more than this game. Week-to-week means there is no set return date, so his status could stay in question beyond Sunday. The report doesn't name who takes over, so that's the first thing to find out. For bettors, judge Seattle's offense by the replacement once he's named, and check whether the line was set before or after the news.

BUF: 244.7 team passing yards per game to MIN's 165.6

BUF is at 244.7 team passing yards per game over 7 games; MIN is at 165.6 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season BUF was at 216.6 over 17 games and MIN at 166.7 over 17 games.

Kyler Murray (QB) is questionable for MIN

The questionable tag undersells this one: Murray has a hamstring strain and is reported as likely to miss Monday's game against the Bills. Losing the starting quarterback is the biggest change a team can face, so look at any Vikings number with that in mind. Since the game is Monday, the final call may come late, and it makes sense to know how you would view this matchup with or without him.

SEA: 4.11 yards per play allowed to ARI's 5.83

Seattle gives up very little on a typical snap, while Arizona has been far easier to move on through 8 games each. Yards per play is a sturdy measure because it depends less on pace or total snaps than yardage totals do, so Seattle's number has a good chance of holding up, though it carries no schedule adjustment. For this game, the split favors Seattle's offense finding efficient drives more than Arizona's, which matters when weighing the side and each team's yardage props.

MIN: 154.9 passing yards allowed per game to BUF's 254.7

BUF is at 254.7 passing yards allowed per game over 7 games; MIN is at 154.9 over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

Yaya Diaby (LB) is out for TB

Diaby has an MCL sprain in his knee, and Bowles has already ruled him out for Sunday in Chicago. The diagnosis settles this week, but the report gives no return date, so his status for later games is still open. It also doesn't say who fills in, so look at how Tampa Bay lines up at linebacker before judging how much the Bears gain from his absence.

NO: 2.14 sacks taken per game to CLE's 4.13

Cleveland's quarterback is taking more than four sacks a game, up from 3 last season, while New Orleans has cut its rate from 3.06. A rate of 4.13 over 8 games is a real problem for the Browns' drives, though it's high enough that some drop would be normal. The Saints' improvement over 7 games has less history behind it, since they were near Cleveland's level last season. Keep this in mind for sack props and for how often the Browns can stay ahead of the chains.

Drew Lock (QB) is questionable for SEA

Lock has a right elbow issue, and he was limited Thursday, so he did some work but not a full practice. Questionable means his status for the Arizona game is still open. An elbow on a quarterback's right arm is the detail to follow, so see how he practices next before weighing him in any Seattle plans.

Jaylen Watson (CB) is out for LAR

Watson is expected to have shoulder surgery and miss the rest of the season, so this is a long-term hole for the Rams at corner. He is out against Washington and beyond, and no replacement has been named. Look at how the Rams line up at corner in this game, because that group may need to hold up for the rest of the year.

DET: 3.43 sacks recorded per game to MIA's 1.29

Detroit gets to the quarterback far more often than Miami, with 7 games behind each number. Sacks swell when a defense plays with a lead and opponents have to throw, so game script may be helping Detroit, and the raw count doesn't adjust for the blockers faced. A gap this wide over 7 games is more than noise, though sack rates can swing. Think about Miami's passing props and drive-killing negative plays through the question of whether Detroit can get ahead early.

Kenny Yeboah (TE) is out for ARI

Yeboah is a tight end on Arizona's practice squad, and the Cardinals moved him to the practice squad injured list on Tuesday with an undisclosed injury. Out means he will not play at Seattle. The move came from the practice squad, so it does not take a player off the active roster. The sheet names no replacement and gives no return date, so this one gives a bettor little reason to change how they see Arizona's offense in this game.

HOU: 0.43 turnovers a game to LAC's 2.43

The Chargers are giving the ball away far more often than Houston, and their rate has jumped from 1.24 last season. Seven games is a short run for a stat this streaky, so expect that number to come down, though Houston's 0.71 last season shows ball security is a habit there. The Chargers need safer throws and fewer risky downs to hide it. Ask how much of the Chargers' price comes from giveaways that may cool off.

David Montgomery (RB) is out for HOU

There is no game-day guesswork here: DeMeco Ryans has already ruled Montgomery out for Sunday against the Chargers with a groin injury. Ryans said he has made some progress, but he is still week-to-week, so this absence could run past this game. The report names no replacement, so check who is listed for the Houston backfield work. Any Texans rushing number for this game should assume Montgomery is not there.

Brenen Thompson (WR) is doubtful for LAC

Doubtful means Thompson is unlikely to play against Houston, though the door isn't fully closed. The report gives no injury or timeline and doesn't say who would take his work. Plan as if the Chargers won't have him, and wait for the final inactive list before betting anything that depends on their receiver group.

Brandon Aiyuk (WR) is out for SF

Aiyuk's absence against Las Vegas comes from a contract dispute, with no injury mentioned. He tried to secure his release by reporting to the 49ers' facility Friday, but the roughly $13 million in bonus forfeiture he owes the team could complicate that. Reporting does not put him back in the lineup for this game, so price San Francisco's receiving plans without him and watch for any change in his status with the team.

CIN: 288.4 pass yards a game to ATL's 188.4

Cincinnati's passing game has produced far more than Atlanta's, and the teams have moved in opposite directions: Cincinnati was at 235.6 last season, Atlanta at 207.2. Over 7 and 8 games, part of Cincinnati's jump could fade, but the gap has held up for half a season. Both numbers measure offense, so they don't show how either secondary holds up. If Cincinnati moves the ball through the air, Atlanta may need more than its passing has delivered to keep pace, which matters for spread and game-script bets.

Jack Campbell (LB) is doubtful for DET

Campbell is doubtful for Detroit's trip to Miami with a neck injury, and doubtful means he is unlikely to play. He said Wednesday he has full movement in his lower body and is still making progress with movement in his upper body, which points to a recovery still underway. No replacement is named, so watch Detroit's final injury report and plan for the Lions' linebacker group without him until they say otherwise.

Zachariah Branch (WR) is out for ATL

Stefanski ruled Branch out on Monday because of his hamstring, so there is no game-day call to wait on against the Bengals. Atlanta has had the whole week to plan without him, and any line posted after Nov 2 has had time to reflect the news. The report doesn't name who takes his snaps, so check the Falcons' receiver rotation before betting any of their pass catchers.

Brian Robinson Jr. (RB) is out for ATL

Atlanta will play Sunday's game against Cincinnati without Robinson, whose hamstring injury has settled his status: out means he will not suit up. His role and the player taking over his carries are not reported here, so wait for the Falcons' final inactive list and backfield plan before judging the running game. Any bet tied to Atlanta's rushing work should rest on who is confirmed active.

MIN: 25% red-zone scoring allowed to BUF's 65.5%

Opponents have scored on just 25% of Minnesota's red-zone stands in 7 games, while Buffalo is at 65.5%. Red-zone rates rest on few trips per game, so a mark this low is likely to climb even if the defense is good, and the opponents faced aren't adjusted for here. Buffalo's number looks closer to something that can last. For touchdown props and totals, give Minnesota some credit but assume more of its opponents' drives finish in the end zone from here.

DET: 264 pass yards a game to MIA's 166.7

Detroit moves the ball through the air far more than Miami, and both teams are close to last season's marks (253.1 and 180.5), so this gap looks real through 7 games. Miami has to hide its passing game with runs and short throws, a plan that gets harder if it falls behind. Detroit can stay balanced and force Miami to throw. Start with the likely score: an early Detroit lead puts Miami in the spot it most wants to avoid.

MIN: 13.3 points allowed a game to BUF's 25.9

Minnesota is allowing about two touchdowns a game through 7 games, a big improvement on 19.6 last season, while Buffalo's defense has slipped from 21.5. Both numbers could drift back toward last season, Minnesota's especially. Buffalo has to protect its defense with long drives and keep the game short, because trading scores favors Minnesota here. For totals and spreads, weigh how much of each team's jump should last beyond these 7 games.

Deshaun Watson (QB) is questionable for CLE

Watson missed practice again Thursday with a concussion, so questionable looks shaky for the trip to New Orleans. A quarterback who isn't practicing this late in the week has work left to do. Any Browns number that assumes he starts carries real risk until his status is settled.

CHI: 236.5 pass yards a game to TB's 131.4

Tampa Bay's passing game has fallen hard from 205.9 yards a game last season, while Chicago has climbed slightly from 225.1. Eight games is enough to take the drop seriously, though last season's number leaves room for some rebound. Tampa Bay has to lean on shorter drives and avoid long-yardage downs, because Chicago can keep adding yards through the air. If Tampa Bay trails, it has to win with the part of its offense that has been weakest.

Tanner McKee (QB) is questionable for PHI

McKee has a rib injury and was limited Thursday, so he got some practice work and his status against the Giants is still undecided. A limited day keeps him in play, but it does not settle whether he suits up. Quarterback news moves a game's outlook, so check his status again before kickoff before relying on any Philadelphia passing number.

DEN: 1.25 sacks taken a game to CAR's 3.29

Carolina's quarterback is going down far more often than Denver's, and the Panthers have climbed from 2.19 sacks taken a game last season while Denver has improved from 1.77. Through 7 and 8 games, that gap looks meaningful, though Carolina could settle somewhat lower. Carolina has to hide it with quick throws and manageable third downs. Sacks kill drives, so expect Carolina's offense to swing on how often it stays ahead of the chains.

NE: 123.1 rush yards a game to GB's 60.6

Green Bay's run game has collapsed from 119.8 yards a game last season, while New England sits near its 128.9 mark. Eight games makes this more than a blip, but a drop that steep has some room to bounce back. Green Bay has to hide it with quick passes that act like handoffs, and New England can use its steadier ground game to control the clock. Think about which team is more likely to stay on schedule, because long-yardage downs fall harder on Green Bay.

CIN: 52.9% third-down conversion rate to ATL's 33.3%

Cincinnati is converting more than half of its third downs, up from 43.4% last season, while Atlanta is at the same 33.3% it posted last season. That makes the Falcons' number look like who they are, and the Bengals' number the one likelier to come down after 7 games. If it holds even partly, Cincinnati gets longer drives and Atlanta gets fewer chances to answer. Time of possession and the Falcons' scoring chances are the natural places to apply this.

LAC has lost 7 straight

The Chargers haven't found a way to win in any of their 7 games, so this is a full-season problem and more than a bad patch. The record doesn't show how close those games were or how strong the opponents were, and that decides how bad this team really is. Teams this far down often take more risks because they have little to protect. Check the margins of those losses against this spread, since a winless record is easy for the market to overprice.

IND: 32.6% third downs allowed to DAL's 51.4%

Indiana gets opponents off the field on about two of every three third downs, while Dallas allows a conversion more than half the time, both over 8 games. Third-down rates often move around, and Dallas at 51.4% is extreme enough that some improvement would be normal, with no schedule adjustment in either number. The gap still points to longer drives for Indiana's offense than for Dallas's. That matters for time of possession, play counts and how each side's yardage props shape up.

NO: 2.14 sacks taken a game to CLE's 4.13

Cleveland is taking sacks at a heavier rate than last season's 3, while New Orleans has improved from 3.06. Cleveland was already getting hit often, so part of this problem looks lasting through 8 games, even if the number eases a bit. The Browns have to hide it with quick throws and short third downs. New Orleans' number has less history behind it, so weigh Cleveland's drive-killing sacks more heavily than the Saints' 7-game gain.

HOU: 253.4 team passing yards per game to LAC's 177.1

Houston has climbed from 218.1 passing yards a game last season, while the Chargers have fallen from 212.2, turning a small gap into a wide one over 7 games each. Swings that large in one season can partly reverse, and the Chargers' number has room to bounce back. Game script may be part of it too, since teams with the lead often throw less. Before leaning on Houston's edge, check whether the Chargers' drop comes from worse passing or simply fewer throws.

DAL: 247.9 team passing yards per game to IND's 174.6

Dallas moves the ball through the air far better than Indianapolis, so the passing game is where the Cowboys have the clearer edge. Both teams are down from last season, Dallas from 266.3 and the Colts from 227.8, with the steeper fall in Indianapolis. Eight games is a fair sample, but yardage also reflects game script and how often a team chooses to throw. Before pricing Colts passing props, work out whether the low total comes from fewer attempts or poor results.

JAX: 15.1 points allowed per game to BAL's 26.2

Jacksonville keeps opponents out of the end zone, while Baltimore has been giving up points at a rate that invites a shootout. Both have moved away from last season, the Jaguars from 19.8 and the Ravens from 23.4, so some drift back would make sense for each. This number doesn't account for the offenses each defense has faced. For a total, the game comes down to which defense sets the scoring level, and last season's numbers suggest a narrower gap than this one.

BUF: 7.99 yards per pass attempt to MIN's 5.41

BUF is at 7.99 yards per pass attempt over 7 games; MIN is at 5.41 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season BUF was at 6.88 over 17 games and MIN at 5.1 over 17 games.

Malik Nabers (WR) is questionable for NYG

Nabers is questionable with an undisclosed issue, and he said Thursday, "I'll be good," for Sunday's game at Philadelphia. Since the injury isn't named, there's little to judge beyond his own confidence and the tag, which still leaves him officially in doubt. Take his comment as a positive sign, then wait for the team's final word before leaning on any Giants receiving number.

KaVontae Turpin (WR) is questionable for DAL

Turpin did not practice Wednesday because of a rib injury, and questionable means he has not been ruled in or out for Dallas at Indianapolis. One missed session is an early data point, and the rest of the week's reports should say more. If you are looking at a Turpin prop, wait until he logs some practice work or gets a final designation.

George Pickens (WR) is questionable for DAL

Pickens is dealing with a hamstring injury and was limited Thursday, which means he practiced but not fully. Questionable leaves his status at Indianapolis open. A hamstring can also limit a receiver who does play, so check his final status before using his receiving numbers, and consider how much he might be limited.

Garrett Wilson (WR) is questionable for NYJ

Wilson did not practice Thursday because of a concussion, so his status for Kansas City is a real unknown. A missed practice is the weakest sign on a questionable tag, and this report gives no sign of progress. Bettors should hold off on Jets passing-game props until his status is settled, since the prices could move once it is.

Jauan Jennings (WR) is questionable for MIN

Jennings has a calf injury and was limited Thursday, so the Minnesota receiver got some practice work but not a full day. Questionable means Sunday's availability against Buffalo is still in doubt. If you are looking at Minnesota's passing game, the next practice report tells you more than this one does.

Ty Johnson (RB) is questionable for BUF

Johnson missed Thursday's practice with an illness, and the Buffalo running back is questionable for Minnesota. An illness is a different kind of absence from a muscle or joint injury, and this report gives no sign of how serious it is. Look for whether Johnson returns to practice before counting on the running back's snaps in this game.

Keon Coleman (WR) is questionable for BUF

Coleman is dealing with a shoulder injury and was limited Thursday, which means some practice work but not a full load. Questionable keeps Coleman's status for Minnesota open. A better practice report would help the case for playing, while a step back would make any bet on Buffalo's receiver usage shakier.

DJ Moore (WR) is questionable for BUF

Moore has a knee injury but was a limited participant Thursday, so the Buffalo receiver did get some work in. Questionable leaves the Minnesota game in doubt, and limited practice says nothing about how big Moore's role would be if active. The next practice note is the one to check before betting on Moore's usage.

Joshua Palmer (WR) is questionable for BUF

Palmer's hamstring kept the Buffalo receiver out of practice Thursday, and questionable means playing against Minnesota is a real uncertainty. A missed session with a soft-tissue injury leans more worrying than a limited one, but it is only one report. Any bet that relies on Palmer's snaps should wait for the next practice update.

Kyle Monangai (RB) is questionable for CHI

Monangai has thumb and toe injuries and didn't practice Thursday, which puts his questionable tag for Tampa Bay on the wrong side of the line. Both issues can matter for a running back, one for ball security and one for cutting. Any later practice work would be the first good sign, and until then the Bears' backfield is better viewed with him in doubt.

Rashid Shaheed (WR) is questionable for SEA

Shaheed has a knee injury and did not practice Thursday, the kind of note that puts real doubt on a questionable tag. Seattle faces Arizona, and the report doesn't say who takes his routes if he sits. A return to practice would change the picture, so wait on his props and any Seattle receiver bets until his status firms up.

Michael Wilson (WR) is questionable for ARI

Wilson is listed with rest and ribs, and he was limited Thursday, so he was at least working. The rest label makes this read milder than a pure injury note, though the ribs are why he carries a questionable tag for Seattle. His next practice report and final status should tell you how much to trust his usual role in Arizona's passing game.

ATL: 134.8 rushing yards per game to CIN's 80.3

Atlanta has a running game it can lean on, while Cincinnati gets little from the ground and has to find its yards elsewhere. The Falcons were at 125.8 last season, so their number looks real, and the Bengals were already low at 93.6. Game script may be part of Cincinnati's total, since teams playing from behind run less. If Atlanta gets a lead, its rushing volume should grow, so props and clock-driven totals depend on who controls the early game.

Bam Knight (RB) is questionable for ARI

Knight has a concussion and did not practice Thursday, leaving his status for Seattle in doubt despite the questionable tag. A missed practice with this injury is a real warning sign, so hold off on assuming he plays. If you're looking at Arizona's running back props, wait for his final status, since the report doesn't say who would take his work.

TreVeyon Henderson (RB) is questionable for NE

Henderson sat out Thursday's practice with an illness, so his status for the Green Bay game is in doubt. Questionable means no final call has been made, and a missed practice is a poor sign this late in the week. One more practice report could change the picture quickly. If you're looking at New England's running game or Henderson's props, wait for the final word on whether he plays.

A.J. Brown (WR) is questionable for NE

Brown has ankle and knee injuries and was a non-participant Thursday, so two issues and no practice put real doubt behind his questionable tag against Green Bay. Patriots passing props could shift on his final status. Bettors should wait for that news, and if he plays, look for any sign he is limited.

Jacob Saylors (RB) is questionable for DET

Questionable means Saylors' status for Miami is truly undecided, and his neck injury was expected to keep him out of practice Wednesday. One missed practice doesn't settle it, so the rest of Detroit's practice week is the next real clue. The report doesn't say who picks up his work if he sits, so hold off on any bet that relies on his role until his status is clearer.

MarShawn Lloyd (RB) is questionable for GB

Lloyd was limited Thursday because of a knee injury, which leaves his questionable status at New England unresolved. He did get some work in, the main positive in this report. Check his final status and any workload news before betting his props, since playing and getting his normal touches are separate questions.

Christian Watson (WR) is questionable for GB

Watson has a rib injury and was limited Thursday, so he is working but not at full participation. The questionable tag leaves his status for New England open, and the limited session keeps him in play. Check his final status before betting, then look for any news on how much the Packers plan to use him.

Christian Kirk (WR) is questionable for SF

Kirk has a knee injury and did not practice Thursday, so his status against the Raiders is in doubt for now. Check the next practice report for any sign of work. Until then, do not assume he is available when looking at San Francisco's receiver numbers.

Christian McCaffrey (RB) is questionable for SF

McCaffrey has a hamstring injury and was limited Thursday, so he practiced in some form, but his status against the Raiders is still open. A hamstring can also cut into a back's workload if he plays. Check his final status before using any San Francisco rushing or receiving number with his name on it.

Mike Evans (WR) is questionable for SF

Evans is listed with an Achilles injury and did not practice Thursday, so there is real doubt about the Raiders game for now. The next practice report is the first real clue. Wait for it before relying on any San Francisco receiving number that has him on the field.

Deebo Samuel Sr. (WR) is questionable for SF

Samuel has a hamstring injury and did not practice Thursday, which makes questionable look shakier for the Raiders game right now. Watch whether he gets back on the field in the next practice report. Until then, San Francisco receiving numbers that assume he plays carry real risk.

Dont'e Thornton Jr. (WR) is questionable for LV

Thornton has a back issue and was limited at Thursday's practice, so he was on the field in some capacity. Questionable means his status for the San Francisco game remains open. Any bet on him or the Raiders' other receivers makes more sense once his final practice and game designation are known.

Dyami Brown (WR) is questionable for WSH

Brown has a calf injury and was limited Thursday, so he got some work in, which is a better sign than sitting out entirely. Questionable leaves his status against the Rams undecided. Burks is also questionable after missing Thursday's practice, so Washington could be thin at receiver, and it makes sense to wait for both answers before betting props in that group.

Treylon Burks (WR) is questionable for WSH

Burks has a foot injury and did not practice Thursday, which is the weaker sign for a questionable player. Unless he returns to practice before the Rams game, Washington's receiver room may be thinner. Brown is also questionable with a calf issue, so the depth at the position is worth checking before betting any Washington receiver prop.

Jordan Whittington (WR) is questionable for LAR

Whittington has a back issue and was limited at Wednesday's practice, so he got some work in, but questionable still leaves his status for the Commanders game open. Later practice reports should give a better signal, so hold off on assuming he'll have his usual role until then.

Saquon Barkley (RB) is questionable for PHI

Barkley is dealing with both hamstring and back issues, and he practiced in a limited way Thursday. That means he got some work in, but questionable leaves the Giants game undecided. Two listed injuries also raise the chance of a lighter workload if he plays, so check his final status before using any Philadelphia rushing number.

Dontayvion Wicks (WR) is questionable for PHI

Wicks has an ankle injury and did not practice Thursday, so his status against the Giants is in doubt for now. The next practice report is the thing to check. Until then, any Philadelphia receiver number that assumes he plays is built on shaky ground.

DeVonta Smith (WR) is questionable for PHI

Smith has a hamstring injury and officially did not practice Thursday, so questionable carries real doubt for the Giants game right now. Any practice work later in the week would be the first good sign. Hold off on Philadelphia receiving numbers until his status is clearer.

Cam Skattebo (RB) is questionable for NYG

Skattebo has a hamstring injury and was a non-participant Thursday, a poor sign for his status at Philadelphia. Questionable keeps the door open, but this report offers no progress to lean on. Giants running back props are best left alone until his status is clear, because even a return could come with a limited role.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR) is questionable for DET

St. Brown has a rib injury and was limited Thursday, so he is practicing but not fully. The questionable tag leaves his status open for Miami, and limited work puts him somewhere between a clear yes and a clear no. Wait for the final word, and keep in mind that playing with sore ribs does not guarantee his usual role.

PHI has lost 6 straight

The Eagles won both of their games before this skid and have lost every one since, so the 2-6 record describes a team that has gone badly off course. The record doesn't say who beat them or by how much, and that decides whether this is a broken team or a rough stretch of schedule. A long skid often pushes a team to chase games with more aggressive calls. Look at the margins of the 6 losses before deciding how much weight this streak deserves against the Giants.

Kaytron Allen (RB) is questionable for MIA

Allen has a quadriceps injury and was limited at Wednesday's practice, so he got some work in but was not a full participant. Questionable leaves his status against Detroit open, and no one has been named to take his carries if he sits. A running back prop here carries extra risk until Miami settles his status.

Alvin Kamara (RB) is questionable for NO

Kamara returned to practice Thursday, and the listing of rest and back suggests at least part of his absence was planned. That makes the questionable tag for Cleveland look less alarming than it would with no practice at all. The back issue keeps it from being a formality, so confirm his status before kickoff and don't assume a normal workload until the Saints show it.

CJ Donaldson (RB) is questionable for NO

Donaldson is dealing with both a shoulder injury and a concussion, and he did not practice Thursday. Two injuries and no practice make this a shaky questionable before Cleveland. Bettors should hold off on Saints running back props until his status is settled, since his absence could change that backfield's outlook.

Denzel Boston (WR) is questionable for CLE

Boston has a calf injury and remained limited Thursday, so he is working but has not been cleared for a full practice. Questionable leaves his status for New Orleans open. If he plays, a calf issue is a reason to look for news on his snap count before betting his receiving props.

Jaylen Wright (RB) is questionable for MIA

Wright has a quadriceps injury and was limited Thursday, so he got some work in, but his status against Detroit is unsettled. Any Miami running back number depends on whether he plays, so wait for the final word before reading into how the carries might split.

LAR: 42.9% red-zone scoring allowed to WSH's 79.2%

The Rams hold opponents under half the time in the red zone, while Washington gives up scores on nearly four of every five stands, across 8 and 7 games. Both numbers rest on a limited number of trips and neither adjusts for opponents, so expect each to drift toward the middle. The direction of the gap is still useful here. If you like the Rams to move the ball, Washington's 79.2% is a reason to consider whether those drives finish with touchdowns instead of field goals.

JAX: 15.1 points allowed a game to BAL's 26.2

Jacksonville is giving up much less than Baltimore, and both defenses have moved from last season: Jacksonville improved from 19.8 points allowed, while Baltimore slipped from 23.4. Eight and nine games is a real sample, but both teams sit further from last season's marks, so some drift back is possible. Baltimore needs its offense to cover for a leaky defense, even at home. Compare the spread and total with how far apart these defenses have been this season.

NEB: 20.2% third downs allowed to ILL's 41.3%

Nebraska gets off the field on third down far more often than Illinois does, and over 8 games that points to a defense ending drives early. A rate as low as 20.2% is hard to keep up, and these numbers aren't adjusted for the offenses each team has faced, so expect some rise against better attacks. For this game, compare Illinois' 41.3% with Nebraska's number and ask which offense is more likely to stay on the field and control possession.

UTA has lost 6 straight

Utah is losing often and by a lot, with an average margin of 11.8 during this run and a last-10 mark of 1-7. Margins that wide point to more than bad luck in close games, though 6 games is a short stretch and the opponents matter. A skid like this usually ends at some point, and a bad team can still cover a big number. Compare the Dallas spread with that 11.8 and ask whether the market has already priced in the slide.

DAL: 247.9 pass yards a game to IND's 174.6

Dallas has dipped from 266.3 passing yards a game last season but remains well ahead of Indianapolis, which has dropped sharply from 227.8. Eight games is a fair sample, though the Colts' fall leaves room for some rebound. Indianapolis has to hide its passing with long drives and favorable down and distance, because chasing Dallas forces it to throw more. Pay close attention to game script here, since a deficit asks the Colts to do what they have done least well.

SAS has won 6 straight

San Antonio is winning comfortably, by 13.7 a game during the streak, and is 6-2 across its last 8. A margin that large is harder to fluke than a run of close wins, but it comes from just 6 games and could shrink against tougher opposition. The streak itself will end eventually, so the margin is the better number to carry forward. Use it to judge whether tonight's spread at Sacramento asks for more than the Spurs have been delivering.

KC is 3-0 at home; NYJ is 1-3 on the road

The site split favours KC: KC has played 3 games at home this season and NYJ 4 games away from it. Current-2026 standings through 2026-11-05.

HOU is 2-1 on the road; LAC is 0-3 at home

The Chargers have lost all 3 at home, and the Texans have won 2 of 3 on the road, so the usual home edge hasn't shown up for Los Angeles. With 3 games on each side, one result would change the picture quickly, and these records don't show who either team played. Expect this split to drift toward the middle over a larger sample. Give the Chargers less automatic credit for playing at home, but don't let 3 games carry the whole case for Houston.

KC: 7.4 sack yards lost per game to NYJ's 24.3

The Jets lose far more ground to sacks each game, which puts them in long-yardage spots and makes drives harder to finish. Their number is almost unchanged from 24.9 last season, so it looks like part of who they are. Kansas City fell sharply from 19.3 over 7 games, and that drop is the likelier one to shrink. For drive-based bets and totals, the Chiefs have the steadier offense on this measure, while Jets drives carry more risk of stalling on one bad snap.

SF: 4.76 yards per play allowed to LV's 6.1

San Francisco gives up a modest gain on a typical play over 7 games, and Las Vegas has been much easier to move on over 8. Yards per play tends to be steadier than scoring or yardage totals, so this gap has a decent chance of lasting, though it isn't adjusted for the offenses each team has seen. For this game, it suggests San Francisco should find the more efficient drives, which is a useful starting point for the spread and team totals.

BUF: 23.9 first downs per game to MIN's 15.6

BUF is at 23.9 first downs per game over 7 games; MIN is at 15.6 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season BUF was at 22 over 17 games and MIN at 17.2 over 17 games.

SF: 127.4 rush yards a game to LV's 77.3

The widest gap between these two is rush yards a game: LV ran for 77.3 rushing yards a game over 8 games; SF ran for 127.4 rushing yards a game over 7 games this season. Last season LV was at 77.5 over 17 games and SF at 106.9 over 17 games.

SEA: 19.9 points allowed per game to ARI's 29.8

Seattle has kept scoring manageable, while Arizona's defense gives up enough points to put heavy pressure on its own offense. Neither team looks like a fluke: the Cardinals allowed 28.7 last season and the Seahawks 17.2, though Seattle has slipped a bit. With 8 games each and a similar pattern a year ago, this gap has a good chance of holding. Arizona likely needs a big scoring day to keep up, so its game script may turn pass-heavy if Seattle gets ahead.

Hunter Henry (TE) is questionable for NE

Henry has a foot injury and wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, which puts his status for the Packers game in doubt. One missed session doesn't decide it, so the rest of the week's practice reports matter. Hold off on anything that needs him active until then.

Colby Parkinson (TE) is questionable for LAR

Parkinson remained sidelined Thursday with a rib injury, so the Los Angeles tight end is questionable for Washington without practice work that day. The word "remained" tells you this absence was already in place. Wait for a newer update before betting on Parkinson's involvement.

Harold Fannin Jr. (TE) is questionable for CLE

Fannin was limited in Thursday's practice with a groin injury, so he is getting some work but isn't fully cleared. Questionable leaves his status for the New Orleans game open. His final practice report is the next clue, so hold off on any Fannin prop until Cleveland makes the call.

Will Kacmarek (TE) is questionable for MIA

Kacmarek was limited at Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, leaving the tight end questionable for Detroit at Miami. He did get on the field, which is better than a missed session. Later reports should show whether the hamstring is improving, so his final status is the thing to wait for on any bet involving him.

Drew Ogletree (TE) is questionable for IND

Ogletree moved up to limited practice Thursday with a knee injury, so he is trending the right way. Questionable still means he may or may not face Dallas, and limited work doesn't tell us how big his role would be if he plays. Check his final practice status before betting on Indianapolis's tight ends.

Jake Ferguson (TE) is questionable for DAL

Ferguson's ankle kept the Dallas tight end out of practice Thursday, leaving Ferguson questionable for the Indianapolis game. No practice work that day puts more doubt on the status than a limited session would. Hold off on any Ferguson bet, or any Dallas passing-game angle built around the tight end, until there is a newer practice report.

CIN is 3-1 on the road; ATL is 1-3 at home

The Bengals have traveled well, winning 3 of 4, while the Falcons have won just 1 of 4 at home. Four games each is a small sample, and these records don't show the opponents, so the gap could shrink once the schedule is accounted for. Road and home splits tend to move back toward a team's overall level. Use this as a reason to discount Atlanta's home field here, then judge the game on how the two teams match up.

HOU: 0.14 interceptions thrown per game to LAC's 1.43

Houston has almost stopped throwing interceptions, while the Chargers have been giving them away regularly. Both numbers are more extreme than last season, when Houston was at 0.53 and Los Angeles at 0.82, and 7 games is a short window for a stat this swingy. Expect both to move back toward those levels. A bettor shouldn't assume this turnover gap carries over in full, especially when a spread already gives Houston credit for ball security.

KC: 1.29 sacks taken per game to NYJ's 2.88

The Jets' quarterback goes down more than twice as often as Kansas City's, which means more drives knocked off schedule. Both teams have improved from last season, the Jets from 3.75 and the Chiefs from 2.94. Kansas City's drop is the bigger one and comes over 7 games, so it is the number more likely to rise. Sack props and drive-based angles lean toward cleaner possessions for the Chiefs, with less margin than this gap suggests if their protection numbers drift back.

DEN: 48% red-zone scoring allowed to CAR's 80%

Denver holds opponents to scores on about half their red-zone stands, while Carolina allows them on 80%, over 8 and 7 games. Red-zone rates come from few trips per game and carry no schedule adjustment, so Carolina's number especially is likely to come down some, and Denver's could rise. Carolina still has the worse profile right now. For Denver's team total and touchdown props, the key is whether its offense can reach the red zone often enough to take advantage.

SEA: 19.9 points allowed a game to ARI's 29.8

Arizona is giving up about what it did last season, 28.7 points a game, so its defensive problem has real history behind it through 8 games. Seattle has slipped from 17.2 but remains much harder to score on. Arizona has to hide its defense by holding the ball and shortening the game, because a shootout exposes it. Seattle's edge looks durable on both seasons' numbers, so judge how much of that gap the market has already priced in.

NE is 3-0 at home; GB is 2-2 on the road

The Patriots are unbeaten in 3 home games, while the Packers have split 4 on the road, which is about what you'd expect from a decent team traveling. New England's perfect mark is the shakier number because 3 games is a small sample and one loss would change it. The opponents behind these records aren't shown either. Give New England some home credit, but Green Bay's 2-2 gives you little reason to mark them down for traveling.

Dalton Kincaid (TE) is questionable for BUF

Kincaid (chest) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice,. Reported Nov 5.

SF: 89 rushing yards allowed per game to LV's 146.4

Tyler Huntley

Toe · Did not practice · Out

HOU: 23.6 points per game to LAC's 14.1

HOU is at 23.6 points per game over 7 games; LAC is at 14.1 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season HOU was at 23.8 over 17 games and LAC at 21.6 over 17 games.

KC: 1.29 sacks taken a game to NYJ's 2.88

Kansas City has cut its sacks taken sharply from 2.94 a game last season, and the Jets have improved from 3.75 while still going down far more often. Kansas City's 7-game drop is steep enough that some regression is possible, though the Jets' longer history makes their issue harder to dismiss. New York has to hide it with quick throws and short third downs. Watch whether the Jets can stay ahead of the chains, because lost-yardage plays can end their drives.

DET: 24.6 first downs per game to MIA's 16.7

Detroit keeps drives alive far more often, which means more snaps and more time for its offense to control the game. Miami at 16.7 is close to last season's 17.1, so that number looks reliable. The Lions have jumped from 20.4 over 7 games, so some cooling is possible. If this gap holds, Miami's defense spends long stretches on the field, and that matters for live betting if the Dolphins fall behind.

Thomas Williams (CB) is out for VT

CB #23 listed Out on the ACC Update 2 report ACC availability report (Update 2, published 2026-11-05 21:00:00 ET) (2026-11-05)

VT has 7 more days of rest

VT had a bye and nearly two weeks to prepare, while SMU is on a normal week of rest after playing 6 days ago. A team off a bye usually has extra time to get banged-up players right and build a plan for one opponent, though it also has to shake off the layoff, and here it has to do that on the road. SMU's 6 days is standard, so this is one side with extra time and not a tired team. Use the rest gap as a small piece of your read on VT, then weigh it against how the two teams actually match up.

SF: 19.9 points allowed per game to LV's 28.8

LV is at 28.8 points allowed per game over 8 games; SF is at 19.9 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season LV was at 25.4 over 17 games and SF at 21.8 over 17 games.

WSH: 0.43 turnovers a game to LAR's 1.5

Washington has cut its giveaways from 1.35 a game last season, while the Rams have climbed from 0.88. Turnovers swing a lot, so 7 and 8 games leave room for both teams to move back toward last season's rates. The Rams need cleaner possessions to hide the issue, because each giveaway hands Washington a shorter field. Be careful paying full price for this gap, since Washington's number in particular is unusually low against its own recent history.

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

Reed (hip) is not expected to practice Wednesday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports. Reported Nov 3.

Cade Mays (C) is questionable for DET

Mays sustained a low-ankle sprain during Detroit's win over the Vikings on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports. Reported Nov 2.

Kadyn Proctor (OT) is questionable for MIA

Proctor (concussion) practiced fully Wednesday. Reported Nov 5.

Malik Herring (DE) is questionable for MIA

Herring (neck) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Reported Nov 5.

Andrew Thomas (OT) is questionable for NYG

Thomas (groin) was a limited participant at the Giants' practice Thursday. Reported Nov 6.

Trent McDuffie (CB) is questionable for LAR

McDuffie missed Wednesday's practice with a back injury, which makes him the more concerning of the two Rams listed with back issues. Questionable leaves the door open, but he needs to get back on the field later in the week to look on track. If he stays out, take a closer look at the Commanders passing game, since the Rams would be without a cornerback.

Kris Abrams-Draine (CB) is questionable for DEN

Abrams-Draine missed Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, so the Denver cornerback is questionable at Carolina. A return to practice later in the week would be the first good sign. If you are considering Carolina's passing game, check Denver's final injury report first, because his status could change the cornerback group.

Will Lee III (CB) is questionable for CAR

Lee's hamstring kept the Carolina cornerback out of practice Thursday, and the status for Denver is questionable. Missing the session raises the doubt, so check Lee's status before judging how Carolina's secondary lines up. The next update matters most for anyone betting Denver's passing game.

Nick Bosa (DE) is questionable for SF

Bosa (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports. Reported Nov 5.

Travis Glover (OT) is questionable for GB

Glover has a knee issue and missed practice Thursday, which is a concerning sign for an offensive tackle listed as questionable. Questionable means he is truly uncertain for the game at New England, and the Thursday absence leans the worry in the wrong direction. Check whether he practices again before the game and whether he is active, since Green Bay's plan at tackle depends on it and the sheet doesn't name a replacement.

Keisean Nixon (CB) is questionable for GB

Nixon (groin) did not practice Thursday, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Reported Nov 5.

Jayden Williams (OT) is questionable for ARI

Williams (knee) did not participate at Arizona's practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Reported Nov 6.

Charles Cross (OT) is questionable for SEA

Cross (ankle) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Reported Nov 6.

Tristan Wirfs (OT) is questionable for TB

Wirfs has a toe injury and did not practice Thursday, leaving the Bucs' offensive tackle spot uncertain against Chicago. Toe trouble matters for a lineman because so much of the job is pushing off and anchoring. If he sits, think about what a backup tackle means for Tampa Bay's pass protection and run game, and check his next practice report first.

Malik Muhammad II (CB) is questionable for CHI

Muhammad has a toe injury and was listed as limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, a lighter session that says less than a full practice would. His questionable tag leaves his status for the Buccaneers game unsettled, so his later practice reports are the better guide to whether Chicago has him at cornerback.

Joseph Ossai (DE) is questionable for NYJ

Ossai was limited in Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, so he was doing some work early in the week. Questionable means his status for Kansas City is still open. His practice reports later in the week will say more, and they matter if your view of this game leans on the Jets' pass rush.

Tyler Huntley (QB) is on injured reserve for BAL

Baltimore placed Huntley on injured reserve Thursday with a toe injury, which rules him out against Jacksonville. There is no game-day decision to wait on. Look at who Baltimore has available at quarterback before you weigh this game or any Ravens passing props.

Lamar Jackson (QB) is on injured reserve for BAL

Baltimore loses its starting quarterback for this game, and no position changes a team's outlook more. Jackson has a thumb injury, and injured reserve rules him out against Jacksonville, with the move reported Nov 5. No replacement or last game played is listed here, so the first thing to check is who starts and how the Ravens' offense looks with that player, then see whether the line already reflects the change.

Christian Darrisaw (OT) is questionable for MIN

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that Darrisaw is nursing a shoulder issue, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Reported Nov 4.

SF has 7 more days of rest

San Francisco is at home with 12 days and a bye behind it, while the Raiders travel on 5 days. That is the harshest version of this spot: the visitor has less time to recover and prepare, and loses more of it to the trip. The home side also gets extra time to shape its plan. The Raiders' late-week injury report will show how much of that squeeze is turning into missed practice or missed players.

HOU has 7 more days of rest

Houston gets 12 days and a bye, while the Chargers have 5 days between games. The Texans have the extra time to heal and study, but they still have to make the trip, while the Chargers get to stay home on their short prep. That home spot softens the rest gap without erasing it. When judging this game, weigh the Chargers' injury report against Houston's travel.

NYG has 7 more days of rest

The Giants arrive with 12 days and a bye behind them, while Philadelphia has only 5 days to recover and prepare at home. A bye gives a team time to get players healthy and add to the game plan, while a short week usually means lighter practices. Skipping travel helps the Eagles, but it doesn't close a 7-day gap. Philadelphia's practice reports are the place to look for any physical cost.

NO has 7 more days of rest

New Orleans had 12 days and a bye to heal and prepare, while Cleveland gets 5 days and has to travel. The Browns will likely lean on walkthroughs over full practices and may have less time to get banged-up players right. The gap is set unless the status of a key player changes. Check Cleveland's injury report late in the week, because that shows whether the short turnaround is costing them anyone.

DAL: 1.38 sacks taken per game to IND's 2.88

Dallas has kept its quarterback much cleaner, while Indianapolis is taking sacks often enough to knock drives off schedule. The teams have gone opposite ways from last season, Dallas improving from 2.38 and the Colts worsening from 2.07. Both numbers come from 8 games, so the gap has some weight, though it could tighten if each team moves back toward last season. In a sack prop, the Colts' protection is the side of the matchup that deserves the closer look.

CHA has lost 5 straight

Charlotte is getting beaten badly, by 14.4 a game during this skid, and is 3-6 across its last 9. The 3 wins show this team has been more competitive than the last 5 games alone suggest, so some bounce in the margin is reasonable. A 14.4 average over such a short run is unlikely to stay that extreme. Against Boston, weigh whether the spread is built on the recent blowouts or on the larger 9-game picture.

PHI has won 5 straight

Philadelphia is 8-1 over its last 9, and has won its last 5 by 8 points a game. That is steady winning without many of the huge margins that inflate a streak. Nine games is still a small sample, and a win rate like that is hard for any team to keep up. At Cleveland, the record will draw attention, so the 8-point margin is the more useful way to measure how much credit Philadelphia deserves in the spread.

MIN: 3.57 sacks recorded per game to BUF's 2.14

Both defenses get home on the quarterback, with Minnesota well ahead of Buffalo over 7 games each. Sack totals swing with game script and the blockers faced, and neither number is adjusted for those, so Minnesota's pace could cool some. Its low passing yardage allowed suggests the pressure is showing up in the broader pass defense. For this matchup, consider how Buffalo's quarterback holds up under pressure and how that could affect drive-ending negative plays and passing props.

LAR: 258.9 team passing yards per game to WSH's 200.6

The Rams are the more dangerous passing offense, so this game likely asks Washington to keep pace through the air. Los Angeles is close to last season's 268.1, which makes its number look dependable. Washington has improved from 184.1 over 7 games, though it remains well behind. If the Rams build a lead, Washington's passing volume could climb late, so its yardage props may depend more on game script than on the offense matching the Rams snap for snap.

DAL: 0.88 turnovers committed per game to IND's 1.88

Indianapolis has been handing over the ball about one extra time per game, which gives Dallas extra possessions and hurts the Colts' scoring chances. Both teams have moved from last season, Dallas improving from 1.24 and the Colts getting worse from 1.35. Turnovers swing a lot, so 8 games doesn't make this gap permanent, and Indianapolis has the most room to improve. Be wary of a line that assumes the Colts will keep giving the ball away at this rate.

ARIZ: 34.9 points per game to TCU's 23.3

Arizona has been the steadier scoring team, and TCU has slid from 30.7 points a game last season while Arizona climbed from 31.5. That puts the pressure on TCU to find more offense than it has shown in 8 games, especially if Arizona scores early and sets the pace. Eight games is a fair sample, but these averages don't adjust for opponents. A bettor should ask whether TCU's drop can keep up in a game that may need a bigger number from its offense.

DEN: 83.3% fourth-down conversion rate to CAR's 40%

Denver has converted 83.3% of its fourth downs over 8 games, while Carolina is at 40% over 7. Both have flipped from last season, when Denver was at 50% and Carolina at 67.5%, and fourth downs are a small pile of snaps, so expect both rates to drift toward the middle. Denver's success may keep its offense aggressive in this game, but put little weight on the gap when judging who wins a short-yardage call.

BUF: 4.29 red-zone trips per game to MIN's 2.29

BUF is at 4.29 red-zone trips per game over 7 games; MIN is at 2.29 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season BUF was at 3.82 over 17 games and MIN at 3 over 17 games.

CIN @ ATL carries a 52.5 market total

At 52.5, this is priced as the slate's shootout, 8 points clear of the typical game, so the market expects both offenses to finish drives with touchdowns. That number needs points from both sides, because one team stalling takes away the back-and-forth that keeps both offenses throwing. For a bettor, the early red zone trips are the first test: drives that end in field goals put a total this high under pressure quickly.

ARI (3-5) at SEA (4-4), a division game

Arizona is a tricky 3-5: the Cardinals are 3-2 on the road, yet -63 says their losses have been heavy. Seattle's 4-4 looks plain, but +26 suggests a better team than the record, and the Seahawks are also 3-2 at home. Those splits are only 5 games each, so the season margin deserves more trust. In a division game, Arizona's road record alone is thin support when the scoring gap points the other way.

NYG: 75% fourth-down conversion rate to PHI's 33.3%

The Giants have converted 75% of their fourth downs over 7 games, and Philadelphia has converted 33.3% over 8. Last season the Giants were at 46.2% and the Eagles at 52.4%, so both teams are far from their full-season levels. Few snaps feed this stat, and both numbers should move back toward last season's. It can shape how boldly each side plays near midfield, but it is a weak reason to rate the Giants' offense above Philadelphia's.

P.J. Locke (S) is questionable for DAL

Locke was still in concussion protocol Wednesday as the Cowboys began preparing for their Week 9 matchup at Indianapolis, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports. Reported Nov 5.

Malachi Lawrence (LB) is questionable for DAL

Lawrence hurt his ankle in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Cardinals, so this is a fresh injury with a short track record. Questionable leaves his status against Indianapolis open, and no one has been named to take his snaps. Dallas's practice reports this week are the best guide to how serious it is.

Caleb Downs (S) is questionable for DAL

Downs is working through a concussion and was limited Thursday, so the Dallas safety was back for at least part of practice. Questionable means the Indianapolis game is still in doubt. Check the final status before weighing how the Dallas secondary looks in this matchup, especially for bets on the Indianapolis passing game.

Divine Deablo (LB) is questionable for ATL

Deablo has a forearm injury and was considered limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, a lighter session that doesn't test much. That leaves his questionable status for the Bengals game unresolved, so look for his practice level later in the week before counting on him at linebacker for Atlanta.

Andrew Van Ginkel (LB) is questionable for MIN

Van Ginkel (chest) was limited in Thursday's practice. Reported Nov 5.

Kam Curl (S) is questionable for LAR

Curl (foot) did not participate at the Rams' practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Reported Nov 5.

Grant Stuard (LB) is questionable for LAR

Stuard is battling a hamstring injury, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports. Reported Nov 2.

Demond Claiborne (RB) is questionable for MIN

MIN lists Demond Claiborne as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 5.

Tykee Smith (S) is questionable for TB

Smith has an ankle injury and was limited at Wednesday's practice, so he was able to do some work, while his questionable tag leaves the Bears game undecided. Ankle injuries can be tested by how much a player does as the week goes on, so his next practice reports should say more about whether Tampa Bay has him at safety.

Ernest Jones IV (LB) is questionable for SEA

Jones (ankle) was a limited participant at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Reported Nov 6.

Carson Schwesinger (LB) is questionable for CLE

Schwesinger notched 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-6 loss to the Steelers. Reported Nov 5.

Velus Jones Jr. (RB) is questionable for SEA

SEA lists Velus Jones Jr. as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 3.

Zaire Franklin (LB) is questionable for GB

Franklin (shin) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Reported Nov 4.

Justin Reid (S) is questionable for NO

Reid (concussion) was a full participant in New Orleans' practice Wednesday. Reported Nov 5.

Jihaad Campbell (LB) is questionable for PHI

Campbell (hamstring/quadriceps) did not participate at the Eagles' practice Wednesday. Reported Nov 5.

Marques Sigle (S) is questionable for SF

Sigle (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Reported Nov 5.

Britain Covey (WR) is questionable for PHI

PHI lists Britain Covey as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 3.

Reed Blankenship (S) is questionable for HOU

Blankenship is dealing with both a concussion and a hand injury, and he missed Wednesday's practice. Of the two, the concussion is the bigger hurdle for his status against the Chargers, even with the questionable tag. If he can't return to practice this week, consider how Houston's secondary looks without him at safety.

Charlie Jones (WR) is questionable for NYG

NYG lists Charlie Jones as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 4.

Leonard Williams (DT) is questionable for SEA

Williams (shoulder) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Reported Nov 6.

Quincy Williams (LB) is questionable for CLE

Williams is dealing with a hamstring injury and got through part of Thursday's practice, so he was on the field in some capacity. Questionable means his status for the trip to New Orleans is truly undecided. Hamstrings can limit a linebacker's range even when he plays, so check Cleveland's final report and the inactive list before betting anything that depends on its run defense or coverage over the middle.

Brian Branch (S) is questionable for DET

Branch (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Reported Nov 5.

Akeem Davis-Gaither (LB) is questionable for IND

Davis-Gaither (knee) did not practice Thursday, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports. Reported Nov 5.

Anthony Gould (WR) is questionable for IND

IND lists Anthony Gould as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 3.

DeMarvion Overshown (LB) is questionable for DAL

Overshown (hamstring/back) was limited in Thursday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Reported Nov 5.

NYG (4-2-1) at PHI (2-6), a division game

New York's +2 says it has played about even football, so 4-2-1 makes the Giants look a little better than their scoring does. Philadelphia's slide has real weight behind it: 6 straight losses, -65 on the year and a 1-3 home record. Margins like that tend to last longer than a losing streak alone, but the Giants are only 1-1-1 on the road. Ask how much of a price this average-scoring team deserves in a division game.

Bobby Okereke (LB) is questionable for CAR

Okereke has a foot injury and did not practice Thursday, the most concerning report of any practice note here because he got no work that day. Questionable means he has not been ruled out for Denver, but his status is uncertain. Any return to practice would be the next useful sign, and Carolina's inactive list settles it, so hold off on leaning on the Panthers' linebacker play until then.

Jaelan Phillips (LB) is questionable for CAR

Phillips has a hamstring injury, and Dave Canales said Monday that he is trending in the right direction and day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against Denver. Questionable means his status is still open, and Canales gave no firm answer on Nov 3. Hamstrings can go either way late in the week, so the update closest to kickoff matters more than Monday's optimism. If you're betting this game, check his status before locking in any view of the Carolina defense.

Talanoa Hufanga (S) is questionable for DEN

Hufanga has an ankle injury and was limited Thursday, which means he practiced but did not do a full day's work. Questionable leaves his status for the Carolina game open. His remaining practice work and Denver's final report should say more, so wait for that news if your view of this game depends on the Broncos' secondary.

JAX is 2-1 on the road; BAL is 1-3 at home

The Jaguars have won 2 of 3 away, and the Ravens have won only 1 of 4 at home, which is the more surprising half of this split. Both samples are small and the opponents aren't shown, so expect some movement toward each team's overall level. Baltimore is also on a 4-game skid, so its home results and its recent form may be pointing at the same slump. Look at whether this price still gives the Ravens full credit for home field.

NYG: 229.3 pass yards a game to PHI's 177.1

The Giants have improved from 204.4 passing yards a game last season through 7 games, while Philadelphia has dropped from 194.3 through 8. Both teams were closer together last season, so part of this gap could narrow. Philadelphia has to hide the lighter passing with drives that keep it out of obvious throwing downs, and the Giants can use their air game to push it off that plan. The score matters here, because falling behind forces the Eagles to throw more.

CIN: 29.4 points per game to ATL's 21.4

CIN is at 29.4 points per game over 7 games; ATL is at 21.4 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season CIN was at 24.4 over 17 games and ATL at 20.8 over 17 games.

Beaux Collins (WR) is ir-r for ATL

Collins is on injured reserve with a return designation because of a hip injury, and he was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Full work is the best sign a player in that spot can give, but he still needs to be activated to play against Cincinnati. Watch for that roster move before putting any weight on him in this game.

Adam Randall (RB) is ir-r for BAL

Randall has a neck injury and carries an injured reserve return tag, while the Ravens have also officially called him questionable for Thursday's game against the Jaguars. That leaves him with a real chance to play, but his role is unclear. Wait for Baltimore's inactive list before betting on anything that depends on him.

Tyler Smith (G) is questionable for DAL

Smith (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Reported Nov 6.

Jake Elliott (PK) is questionable for PHI

Elliott (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Reported Nov 6.

Ronnie Rivers (RB) is ir-r for LAR

Rivers (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports. Reported Nov 5.

Pat Bryant (WR) is ir-r for DEN

Bryant is still listed on injured reserve with a return designation, so the ankle injury has kept him off the active roster for now. He was a full participant Wednesday, the strongest practice mark a player can get. He still needs to be activated to play at Carolina, so the full practice alone doesn't put him in the game. For Denver's receiving numbers, the roster move is the thing to wait for.

Damien Lewis (G) is questionable for CAR

Lewis (knee) did not participate at the Panthers' practice Thursday, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports. Reported Nov 6.

Demarcus Robinson (WR) is ir-r for SF

Robinson (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday. Reported Nov 5.

Chris Brooks (RB) is ir-r for GB

Brooks (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve by the Packers on Wednesday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Reported Nov 5.

Sean Rhyan (G) is questionable for GB

Rhyan (ankle) was absent from practice Thursday. Reported Nov 6.

Aaron Banks (G) is questionable for GB

Banks (knee) was limited in practice Thursday. Reported Nov 6.

Mack Hollins (WR) is ir-r for NE

The Patriots are expected to designate Hollins (calf) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Reported Nov 4.

James Conner (RB) is ir-r for ARI

Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said Tuesday that Conner (foot) won't return from IR this week, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Reported Nov 4.

Jon Gaines II (G) is questionable for ARI

Gaines (ankle) did not participate at the Cardinals' practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Reported Nov 6.

Quenton Nelson (G) is questionable for SEA

Nelson (knee) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports. Reported Nov 6.

CLE is 2-3 on the road; NO is 0-4 at home

The Saints are winless in 4 home games, and that drives this split, because the Browns have a losing road record at 2-3. Cleveland has won some away, but it hasn't been a strong road team. The sample is small and the opponents aren't shown, so New Orleans' home mark is likely to improve at some point. Think of this as a fade of the Saints' home form more than a endorsement of Cleveland, and be careful about paying up for the Browns on the road.

DEN has won 4 straight

The Broncos have won 4 in a row and sit at 6-2, so this run fits a good season and doesn't look like a hot streak propping up a weak record. The missing piece is who those wins came against and by how much, which is what separates a strong team from a soft schedule. Streaks like this also tend to inflate the price. Against Carolina, check the quality of those 4 wins and whether the spread is already charging you for them.

IND has lost 4 straight

The Colts have 2 wins all season, and neither has come in the last 4 games, so this skid fits a poor overall record instead of interrupting a good one. The record doesn't show the opponents or margins, and those would tell you if Indianapolis has been competitive. Teams in this spot often get more aggressive as the season slips. Against Dallas, start with how the Colts lost those games, because a run of close losses says something very different from a run of blowouts.

BAL has lost 4 straight

All 4 of Baltimore's wins came before this skid, so a 4-5 record hides how sharply the season has turned. Four games is a short sample, and the record doesn't show who beat them or how close the games were. That makes this harder to read than a team that has been bad all year, since the earlier version of the Ravens did win. Look at the quality of those 4 losses before deciding whether Jacksonville is facing a slumping team or a declining one.

NYG: 229.3 team passing yards per game to PHI's 177.1

The Giants are throwing for 229.3 yards a game over 7 games, up from 204.4 last season. Philadelphia is at 177.1 over 8, down from 194.3. Passing yards mix efficiency with volume, so this gap alone can't tell you whether the Eagles are struggling to throw or simply choosing to throw less. Seven and 8 games give the shift some weight, but it could narrow. Before leaning on it, check whether game flow has been inflating or suppressing each team's passing totals.

Kyler Murray is the projected starting quarterback for MIN

Through 6 games in 2026, Kyler Murray threw for 1022 passing yards, completed 64.9% of his passes and averaged 6.64 yards per attempt. Last season over 5 games he threw for 962 yards, completed 68.3% and averaged 5.97 yards per attempt, 6-3 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 5-3 touchdown-to-interception line is 6 games in. Kyler Murray is also listed q for this matchup.

Drew Lock is the projected starting quarterback for SEA

Through 2 games in 2026, Drew Lock threw for 422 passing yards, completed 72.9% of his passes and averaged 8.79 yards per attempt. Last season over 5 games he threw for 15 yards, completed 66.7% and averaged 5 yards per attempt, 0-0 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 4-0 touchdown-to-interception line is 2 games in. Drew Lock is also listed q for this matchup.

Deshaun Watson is the projected starting quarterback for CLE

Through 8 games in 2026, Deshaun Watson threw for 1806 passing yards, completed 65.5% of his passes and averaged 7.25 yards per attempt. His 7-3 touchdown-to-interception line rounds out the current sample without turning an early-season profile into a settled one. Deshaun Watson is also listed q for this matchup.

HOU: 3 sacks recorded per game to LAC's 1.71

Houston averages 3 sacks a game over 7 games, well ahead of the Chargers. Sack rates can swing with script and quality of pass protection, and neither team's number is adjusted for the offensive lines it has faced, so the gap could narrow. Seven games is enough to take the difference seriously without treating it as fixed. For this game, it gives Houston the edge in forcing drive-ending plays, which matters most for the Chargers' passing props if they end up chasing the score.

DEN: 2.88 sacks recorded per game to CAR's 1.57

Denver is getting to the quarterback far more often than Carolina, across 8 and 7 games. Sacks build when a defense plays ahead and forces obvious passing downs, and this number doesn't adjust for the offensive lines faced, so some of Denver's total may come from script. Carolina's low count means opposing quarterbacks may have had more time. For Carolina's passing props, the first thing to judge is whether Denver can get ahead and make the game one-dimensional.

VT @ SMU carries a 56.5 market total

The market expects a shootout here, pricing VT and SMU about a touchdown above the typical game on this slate, though that median comes from only 3 games. A number this high needs both offenses finishing drives, so a few long possessions that end in field goals can put it in trouble quickly. It could still move before kickoff, since this is one book's current total. Use the early drives as your guide: touchdowns support the price, while stalls in scoring range are the first sign it's too high.

LV @ SF carries a 51.5 market total

The market has 51.5 on this one, 7 points above the slate median, so it expects long stretches of scoring rather than a field-position game. Long, clock-eating drives are the main threat to that number, since fewer possessions leave less room to get there. A bettor can use the pace of the first few series as a guide: slow drives ending in kicks would make this total look too high.

DAL @ IND carries a 51.5 market total

The current fanduel total is 51.5, 7 points above the 44.5 median across 15 games with posted totals on this slate.

NYG: 33:34 time of possession per game to PHI's 28:24

The Giants hold the ball 33:34 a game over 7 games, while Philadelphia is at 28:24 over 8. These teams were close last season, at 30:58 and 30:11, so both have moved in opposite directions. Possession time can reflect style or game flow, so this edge may shrink if the Eagles control the game early. If the Giants do sustain long drives, expect fewer possessions for both sides, which matters when you think about the total and live betting.

SEA: 156 passing yards allowed per game to ARI's 220.5

Seattle allows few passing yards a game over 8 games, and its low yards per play allowed suggests strong defense is behind that as well as game flow. Arizona allows noticeably more over the same 8 games. Passing totals can still move with the quarterbacks faced and how often opponents needed to throw, and neither number adjusts for that. For this matchup, Arizona's passing props need a game script that forces volume, while Seattle's passers draw the softer test.

SF: 6.44 yards per play to LV's 5.39

LV is at 5.39 yards per play over 8 games; SF is at 6.44 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season LV was at 4.35 over 17 games and SF at 5.49 over 17 games.

NOP has won 4 straight

New Orleans has won 4 straight by 10.5 a game, yet its last-10 mark is only 4-4, so the same team lost all 4 of the other games in that stretch. That split makes this look like a hot streak inside a middling start, and 4 games is too few to call it a new level. Against Minnesota, give the Pelicans credit for current form without pricing them off the streak alone.

GB: 1.88 takeaways per game to NE's 1

Green Bay is forcing almost two turnovers a game, while New England averages 1, both over 8 games. Takeaways are streaky since bounces and tipped balls play a big part, and game script matters because teams playing from behind have to take more chances. Neither number adjusts for the quarterbacks faced, so Green Bay's pace could cool. In this game, the gap gives Green Bay a possible edge in short fields, but don't build a whole case around turnovers repeating.

JAX: 28.6 points per game to BAL's 21

Jacksonville is scoring 28.6 points a game over 8 games, close to its 27.9 last season, so that level has real support. Baltimore is at 21 over 9 games, down from 24.9. The Jaguars' stability makes their number the safer one to trust, while the Ravens have more room to bounce back. Baltimore has to show it can keep pace on the scoreboard, so the key question for spread and total bettors is whether its offense rebounds in this spot.

MIN: 29.7% third downs allowed to BUF's 41.9%

BUF is at 41.9% third downs allowed over 7 games; MIN is at 29.7% over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

Noah Fifita is ARIZ's projected starter

Noah Fifita is ARIZ's projected starting quarterback. Arizona Daily Star's November 4 preview explicitly projects Fifita to start against TCU; its November 5 report discusses him for this matchup. No last-game injury or limited practice this week was established in the retrieved reporting; this does not verify unrestricted health. 2026 line: 2464 passing yards, 74.0% completions, 9.16 yards per attempt, 19-4 TD-INT over 8 games.

Jaden Craig is TCU's confirmed starter

Jaden Craig is TCU's confirmed starting quarterback. TCU's November 5 game release explicitly identifies Craig as its starting quarterback. No injury from the Kansas game or limited practice this week was established in the retrieved reporting; this does not verify unrestricted health. 2026 line: 2203 passing yards, 65.1% completions, 8.19 yards per attempt, 11-6 TD-INT over 8 games.

Katin Houser is ILL's projected starter

Katin Houser is ILL's projected starting quarterback. Projected, without a retrieved team confirmation that he starts against Nebraska. Illinois' November 2 game preview discusses Houser; November 4 reporting says he returned from a broken hand against Maryland on October 31 and had no designation on Tuesday's Nebraska availability report. No new injury in the Maryland game or limited practice this week was established by the retrieved reports. 2026 line: 1663 passing yards, 64.8% completions, 7.70 yards per attempt, 13-5 TD-INT over 7 games.

Anthony Colandrea is NEB's projected starter

Anthony Colandrea is NEB's projected starting quarterback. Projected from current-week reporting discussing Colandrea preparing to lead Nebraska at Illinois, including statements from Colandrea, Holgorsen and teammates. The retrieved material does not explicitly announce him as this game's starter. No injury in the October 31 Washington game or limited practice this week was established by the retrieved reports. 2026 line: 1765 passing yards, 61.2% completions, 6.92 yards per attempt, 15-6 TD-INT over 8 games.

Kevin Jennings is SMU's projected starter

Kevin Jennings is SMU's projected starting quarterback. SMU's November 3 game preview discusses Jennings as its incumbent starter, but an explicit November 6 starting announcement was not retrieved. No current-week report establishing an injury in his last game or limited practice was found; those details remain unverified. 2026 line: 2431 passing yards, 73.7% completions, 9.69 yards per attempt, 21-5 TD-INT over 8 games.

Ethan Grunkemeyer is VT's projected starter

Ethan Grunkemeyer is VT's projected starting quarterback. Virginia Tech's November 2 preview presents Grunkemeyer as its quarterback for the SMU matchup, and November 4 reporting quotes Franklin discussing him in that role. An explicit starting announcement was not retrieved. No current-week report establishing a last-game injury or limited practice was found; those details remain unverified. 2026 line: 2140 passing yards, 71.4% completions, 8.17 yards per attempt, 17-2 TD-INT over 8 games.

JAX: 1.88 takeaways per game to BAL's 1

JAX is at 1.88 takeaways per game over 8 games; BAL is at 1 over 9 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

DAL: 6.45 yards per pass attempt to IND's 4.67

DAL is at 6.45 yards per pass attempt over 8 games; IND is at 4.67 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DAL was at 7 over 17 games and IND at 6.76 over 17 games.

JAX: 40.9% red-zone scoring allowed to BAL's 65.6%

JAX is at 40.9% red-zone scoring allowed over 8 games; BAL is at 65.6% over 9 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

MIL has lost 4 straight

Milwaukee is losing these games by 19 on average and is 1-7 across its last 8, which is about as bad as a recent stretch gets. A 19-point margin over 4 games can be swung by one or two routs, so it should come down even if the losing continues. The 1-7 mark is the steadier warning. Against Toronto, check whether the spread is reacting to the 19 or to the larger run of results.

NYJ: 2.5 sacks recorded per game to KC's 1.29

The Jets are getting to the quarterback far more often, with 2.5 sacks a game over 8 games to Kansas City's 1.29 over 7. That is a decent sample, but these totals don't show the quality of the lines each team faced or how often those offenses had to throw. Pass-rush production also depends on game script, so it can swing from week to week. For bettors, it supports looking at whether the Jets can create obvious passing downs, because that is when their edge should matter most.

DAL: 27.4 points per game to IND's 20.1

DAL is at 27.4 points per game over 8 games; IND is at 20.1 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DAL was at 27.7 over 17 games and IND at 27.4 over 17 games.

Luke Schoonmaker (TE) is questionable for DAL

DAL lists Luke Schoonmaker as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 3.

Upton Stout (CB) is questionable for SF

Stout (shoulder) was only active as an emergency depth option during Sunday's loss to the Falcons, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reported Monday. Reported Oct 26.

Big Ten game: NEB 2-3, ILL 3-2 in conference

These two share the Big Ten. NEB is 2-3 against it, ILL is 3-2. 2026 standings through 2026-11-06.

ACC game: VT 3-2, SMU 4-2 in conference

These two share the ACC. VT is 3-2 against it, SMU is 4-2. 2026 standings through 2026-11-06.

Big 12 game: TCU 2-3, ARIZ 3-2 in conference

These two share the Big 12. TCU is 2-3 against it, ARIZ is 3-2. 2026 standings through 2026-11-06.

John Bates (TE) is questionable for WSH

WSH lists John Bates as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 5.

Josh Whyle (TE) is questionable for GB

GB lists Josh Whyle as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 4.

DET: 4.29 red-zone trips per game to MIA's 2.57

DET is at 4.29 red-zone trips per game over 7 games; MIA is at 2.57 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DET was at 3.76 over 17 games and MIA at 2.82 over 17 games.

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

Neither team has separated in the NFC West: Arizona has 1 win and 2 losses, and Seattle has split its 2 games. That sample is too small to say either side has the division figured out, and one game can reverse the picture. Familiar opponents tend to know each other's habits, but these records don't show that either team has an edge from it. Give them little weight and build your view of this game on broader team form.

NFC EAST game: NYG 1-0-1, PHI 1-2 in the division

These two share the NFC EAST. NYG is 1-0-1 against it, PHI is 1-2. Current-2026 standings through 2026-11-05.

TB: 4.95 yards per play allowed to CHI's 5.9

Tampa Bay allows 4.95 yards per play over 8 games, while Chicago allows 5.9 over the same number of games. Yards per play depends less on game pace than total yards do, so this gap is more likely to reflect real defensive quality, although it isn't adjusted for schedule. Eight games gives it some weight. When judging this game, start with the idea that Chicago's offense faces the tougher down-to-down test.

DET @ MIA carries a 50.5 market total

At 50.5, 6 points above the slate median, the market expects this game to be decided by touchdowns more than field goals. It cracks if drives bog down near the goal line or if a lopsided score lets the leading team stop pushing. With no injury or weather news on hand here, this works best as a question of how well both offenses finish, since a high total needs both of them involved.

ILL: 35 penalty yards per game to NEB's 69.4

Nebraska is giving away about twice the penalty yardage Illinois is, and that is a new problem: Nebraska was at 43.5 last season. Illinois at 35 sits close to last season's 39.5, so its clean play looks like the more stable number. Nebraska's jump could ease, though 8 games is long enough to take seriously. Penalties can stall Nebraska drives and extend Illinois ones, so consider how many free yards a road team can afford in a close game.

DAL: 5.39 yards per play to IND's 4.45

Dallas is at 5.39 yards per play over 8 games and Indianapolis is at 4.45 over 8, with both below last season's 5.96 and 5.77. The Colts' drop is the bigger one, and they had no play of 20+ yards in their last game, while Dallas had 2, including Dak Prescott's 37-yarder to George Pickens. That is one game, so weigh it lightly. Indianapolis could bounce back some, but for now, Dallas looks likelier to create the chunk plays that swing field position.

NEB: 15.6 points allowed a game to ILL's 24.3

Nebraska is giving up about nine fewer points a game than Illinois, and that is a big swing from last season, when the Huskers allowed 24.6 and the Illini 23.6. Eight games is a real sample, though the sheet doesn't show who either team played, so schedule could be inflating the gap. Illinois has to protect a defense allowing 24.3 by keeping drives long and the game short. If Nebraska's scoring prevention holds on the road, the Illini carry the pressure to score, so think about how each side's game script changes if Nebraska leads early.

DEN: 20.6 points allowed per game to CAR's 27.6

DEN is at 20.6 points allowed per game over 8 games; CAR is at 27.6 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DEN was at 18.3 over 17 games and CAR at 22.4 over 17 games.

NYG @ PHI carries a 38.5 market total

At 38.5, this is priced as a grind, 6 points under the slate median, with the market expecting punts, field goals and few easy touchdowns. Low totals can break on a single swing: a turnover that sets up a short field or a defensive score adds points without a long drive. An early lead can also force the trailing team to throw, which opens the game up, so the first big momentum swing matters a lot in this kind of spot.

DAL: 7.9 sack yards lost per game to IND's 19.1

DAL is at 7.9 sack yards lost per game over 8 games; IND is at 19.1 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DAL was at 16 over 17 games and IND at 15.1 over 17 games.

BUF: 1.86 sacks taken per game to MIN's 3

BUF is at 1.86 sacks taken per game over 7 games; MIN is at 3 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season BUF was at 2.86 over 17 games and MIN at 4 over 17 games.

KC: 38.9% red-zone scoring allowed to NYJ's 62.1%

Offenses score on just 38.9% of red-zone trips against Kansas City over 7 games, compared with 62.1% against the Jets over 8. Red-zone trips are a small slice of each game, so a few stops can swing these rates, and neither number accounts for the offenses faced. Expect some movement in both directions as the sample grows. For totals, the gap matters most if drives stall near the goal line, so check how each offense moves the ball first.

SF: 47.8% red-zone scoring allowed to LV's 70.6%

San Francisco allows scores on 47.8% of red-zone trips over 7 games, while Las Vegas allows them on 70.6% over 8. Few plays go into these rates, and they carry no adjustment for opponent, so part of the gap could shrink. For bettors, this is a finishing edge for San Francisco on paper. It matters most in team totals and touchdown markets if both offenses can reach the red zone.

HOU: 6.89 yards per pass attempt to LAC's 5.24

HOU is at 6.89 yards per pass attempt over 7 games; LAC is at 5.24 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season HOU was at 6.2 over 17 games and LAC at 5.87 over 17 games.

Terrance Ferguson (TE) is ir-r for LAR

Ferguson (ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports. Reported Nov 6.

NEB: 170 passing yards allowed per game to ILL's 235

Nebraska gives up far fewer passing yards than Illinois, and 8 games makes that more than a one-week blip. The raw yardage leaves out two big pieces: the quality of the quarterbacks faced and how often those teams chose to throw. A defense playing with a lead can face fewer late passes, while one playing from behind can see more runs. Before leaning on 170 yards here, check whether Nebraska's opponents could really pressure it through the air.

Eyioma Uwazurike (DE) is questionable for DEN

DEN lists Eyioma Uwazurike as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 4.

Max Melton (CB) is questionable for ARI

ARI lists Max Melton as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 6.

Carlton Davis III (CB) is questionable for NE

NE lists Carlton Davis III as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 4.

Dre'Mont Jones (DE) is questionable for NE

NE lists Dre'Mont Jones as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 4.

Mansoor Delane (CB) is questionable for KC

Kansas City lists Delane as questionable against the Jets, so his status is undecided, and the report gives no injury or practice detail. If your read on the Jets' passing game depends on the Chiefs' cornerbacks, check whether he is active first.

Marcus Jones (CB) is questionable for NE

NE lists Marcus Jones as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 5.

Justin Walley (CB) is questionable for IND

IND lists Justin Walley as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 3.

Theo Benedet (OT) is questionable for CHI

Chicago listed offensive tackle Theo Benedet as questionable on Nov 5 for the Tampa Bay game, which means his availability is in doubt and he could play or sit. The report gives no injury or replacement, so the size of any drop-off is unknown. Check Chicago's inactive list before kickoff, and hold off on building a view of this game around him until his status is settled.

Spencer Brown (OT) is questionable for BUF

BUF lists Spencer Brown as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 3.

Joey Porter Jr. (CB) is questionable for DAL

DAL lists Joey Porter Jr. as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 5.

Alec Anderson (OT) is questionable for BUF

BUF lists Alec Anderson as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 5.

MIA: 221 passing yards allowed per game to DET's 276.6

Miami allows 221 passing yards a game and Detroit allows 276.6, each over 7 games. Passing yardage is heavily shaped by game script, since teams protecting a lead often give up more of it, and these totals don't separate that out or adjust for the quarterbacks faced. Yards per game can overstate or understate pass defense for that reason. For passing props, check the expected game flow alongside this gap, since it affects how often each quarterback throws.

CIN: 41.7% red-zone scoring allowed to ATL's 63.3%

Cincinnati allows scores on 41.7% of red-zone trips over 7 games, while Atlanta allows them on 63.3% over 8. That favors Cincinnati when the field gets short, but red-zone rates come from small slices of games and can move quickly. These numbers also don't show which offenses each defense faced. Use the gap as a lens for team totals and touchdown markets, with more weight on how often each offense is likely to get there.

PHI: 56.3% red-zone scoring allowed to NYG's 77.8%

Philadelphia allows scores on 56.3% of red-zone trips over 8 games, while the Giants allow them on 77.8% over 7. That is a clear finishing edge for the Eagles so far, though red-zone rates rest on a small number of plays and the sheet has no opponent adjustment. The Giants' number could come down with a few stops. In this game, it gives Philadelphia's team total and touchdown markets some support if the Eagles can string together drives.

Dion Dawkins (OT) is questionable for BUF

BUF lists Dion Dawkins as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 5.

Isaiah Rodgers (CB) is questionable for MIN

MIN lists Isaiah Rodgers as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 5.

NYG: 1.29 takeaways per game to PHI's 0.5

The Giants are taking the ball away 1.29 times a game over 7 games, while Philadelphia is at 0.5 over 8. Takeaways swing a lot from game to game, and fumble luck and opposing quarterback mistakes both feed them, so this gap is a likely candidate to narrow. A bettor should be careful about paying for it. The Giants' edge here is real production so far, but it is a shaky base for a side or total on its own.

LAR: 42.7% third-down conversion rate to WSH's 31.9%

The Rams are converting 42.7% of their third downs over 8 games, up from 39.6% last season. Washington is at 31.9% over 7, down from 37.6%. The Rams' rate sits fairly close to last season's, while Washington has more room to climb back. For now, this points to the Rams extending more drives and Washington living with more punts, so look at whether the Commanders can avoid long third downs before trusting a rebound.

Victor Wembanyama and Darius Acuff Jr. lead tonight's board

Wembanyama's 28.5 line sits right under his 29-point average over 8 games, so the book has him close to season form. Acuff's 23.5 sits further below his 25.6 average over 8, which suggests some doubt that his scoring holds. Acuff also averages 7 assists, so he has another way to affect a game if the shots drop off. With samples this small, his gap is the one to question, and Wembanyama's line offers little edge from the average alone.

Deni Avdija and Luka Doncic lead tonight's board

Doncic is averaging 38.5 over 8 games, and his 35.5 line still asks for a huge night while sitting below that pace. An average that high is hard to sustain, so the book is pricing in some drop. Avdija is simpler: 23.4 over 7 games with a 23.5 line, almost exactly even. His 6.4 assists also mean his value can show up outside scoring. Doncic's number is the one to examine, because the line is high and the cushion rests on 8 games.

LaMelo Ball and Zion Williamson lead tonight's board

Ball's 21.5 line sits well above his 17.2 average over 9 games, so the book expects more scoring than he has produced. Williamson goes the other way, with a 19.5 line under his 21.5 average over 8. Ball's 5.9 assists show he is contributing in other ways, and small samples can swing fast. The useful question on both props is whether tonight's role differs from the one behind those averages, since the lines imply it might.

Scottie Barnes and Tyler Herro lead tonight's board

Both lines sit below this season's scoring: Barnes is at 22.5 after averaging 23.5, and Herro is at 20.5 after averaging 22.3, each over 8 games. Herro has the larger cushion, but 8 games is too few to settle what either player's level is. Barnes also adds 7.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists, so his value doesn't rest on scoring alone. Use the gap as a starting point, then check how each player's shot volume looks tonight.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ty Jerome lead tonight's board

These two lines point in opposite directions. Gilgeous-Alexander's 32.5 sits above his 30.1 average over 8 games, while Jerome's 21.5 sits well below his 27.4 over 7. The book is asking Gilgeous-Alexander to beat his season form and is skeptical that Jerome's scoring lasts. Jerome's gap is the one that stands out, and 7 games is a short sample, so his average could fall. Before taking that gap at face value, check his minutes and role tonight.

Lauri Markkanen and Cooper Flagg lead tonight's board

Both lines sit above this season's averages: Markkanen is at 21.5 after averaging 17.1 over 7 games, and Flagg is at 26.5 after averaging 24.3 over 7. The Markkanen gap is the bigger one, so the book is expecting more than he has shown so far. Seven games is a small sample, so his average could climb. Before leaning either way on these props, find out whether tonight's expected role differs from the games behind those averages.

Tyrese Maxey and Donovan Mitchell lead tonight's board

The same 24.5 line is on two players headed in different directions: Maxey is averaging 28 over 9 games and Mitchell 22.5 over 8. The books are setting Maxey below this season's scoring and Mitchell above it, which suggests they expect some movement back toward the middle for both. Small samples can do that quickly. If you are looking at either prop, decide first whether this season's scoring is real or the line has the better read.

Jayson Tatum and Brandon Miller lead tonight's board

Tatum's line of 26.5 sits just below his 27-point average over 7 games, while Miller's 22.5 sits just above his 22 over 9. Both numbers are close to fair on season form, and neither sample is large. Tatum is also averaging 7.9 assists, so he can have a strong night without a big scoring total. On lines this tight, the average tells you the books agree with the season so far, which leaves game flow to decide it.

Anthony Davis and Nickeil Alexander-Walker lead tonight's board

Both lines sit just under what these players have averaged: Davis at 23.4 against 22.5 and Alexander-Walker at 21.7 against 21.5. The books are pricing both near their season form, and samples of 8 and 9 games leave plenty of room for movement. Davis has a little more cushion, while Alexander-Walker's line is almost exactly his average. With margins this thin, a season average alone gives little edge, so tonight's role and minutes carry more weight.

NEB: 15.6 points allowed per game to ILL's 24.3

Nebraska's defense has been far stingier than Illinois', and the bigger story is the jump from 24.6 points allowed last season to 15.6 over 8 games. Illinois has barely moved, 23.6 last season and 24.3 now, so its number looks like its true level. A change that big in Nebraska's defense could give some back, and the sheet doesn't show who it played. Weigh Nebraska's edge as real, then check how much of this game's price already assumes the 15.6 will hold.

DET is 1-2 on the road; MIA is 0-3 at home

The Dolphins are winless in 3 home games, and the Lions are 1-2 away, so this split favors Detroit mostly because Miami has been worse. Three games on each side is a small sample and the opponents aren't shown, so one result could change the read. Miami's home mark is likely to move toward its overall level over time. Be careful about treating Detroit as a strong road team here, since its own record away from home doesn't say that.

Deane Leonard (CB) is questionable for LAC

LAC lists Deane Leonard as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 3.

Rodney Shelley (CB) is questionable for LAC

Los Angeles lists Shelley as questionable for Houston, but the Nov 3 report gives no injury or practice detail. That leaves very little to judge, so wait for a fuller update before factoring the cornerback into this game.

Donte Jackson (CB) is questionable for LAC

The Chargers list Jackson as questionable for Houston, meaning his status is uncertain, but the report gives no injury or practice detail. Check the inactive list before factoring him into your view of the Los Angeles pass defense.

David Njoku (TE) is ir-r for LAC

Njoku is on injured reserve with a return designation after a fibula injury, and he was limited Thursday, so he is back practicing in some form. He still has to be activated to play against Houston, and practicing does not guarantee that. Until the Chargers make that move, don't count on him in tight end props.

ARI: 1 turnover committed per game to SEA's 1.75

Seattle is giving the ball away 1.75 times a game over 8 games, close to its 1.65 last season, so this looks like a real habit. Arizona is at 1 over 8, improved from 1.24. Turnovers swing on a few bounces, so Arizona's clean run could slip. The Seahawks' giveaways are the more repeatable part of the gap, which gives the Cardinals a path to extra possessions if they can capitalize on them in this game.

CHI has won 3 straight

Chicago is 6-2 and has won 3 straight, so the streak sits inside a strong first half. What the record can't tell you is how good those opponents were or whether the wins were comfortable. A 3-game run is a small sample and says less about the next game than the full 6-2 does. Against Tampa Bay, check how the wins were built first, because a popular streak can cost you a worse price.

BUF has won 3 straight

Buffalo is 6-1 with 3 straight wins, and that one loss makes the streak look more like its normal level than a hot patch. The record doesn't show the quality of the opponents, so it can't settle how much of this was earned. A team at 6-1 usually gets priced like it, which leaves little room for error on the number at Minnesota. The useful work is comparing that price with how Buffalo actually won.

CIN: 3.29 sacks recorded per game to ATL's 2.25

Cincinnati is getting 3.29 sacks a game over 7 games, compared with 2.25 for Atlanta over 8, so its rush has been the more productive one. These totals don't account for the blockers faced or how often opponents were forced to throw, and those factors can inflate or limit sack numbers. For this game, sack props and quarterback pressure angles start with Cincinnati, but check how Atlanta's offense is likely to be playing before leaning on the gap.

JAX: 7.84 yards per pass attempt to BAL's 6.37

Jacksonville is gaining 7.84 yards per pass attempt over 8 games, a big jump from 6.42 last season. Baltimore is at 6.37 over 9, close to its 6.69. The Jaguars have a real edge in chunk passing so far, but a jump that large is the number most likely to cool. Baltimore's passing looks like more of the same, so this game may turn on whether the Ravens can make Jacksonville's passing game work for shorter gains.

HOU: 5.54 yards per play to LAC's 4.71

Houston is gaining 5.54 yards per play over 7 games, up from 5.1 last season, while the Chargers are at 4.71 over 7, down from 5.19. Last game cuts the other way: Los Angeles had 4 plays of 20+ yards, led by Justin Herbert's 54-yarder to Ladd McConkey, while Houston had 2. One game doesn't erase 7, but it warns that the Chargers' passing game can still hit big plays. Be careful about assuming Houston's efficiency edge will control this matchup.

CIN has won 3 straight

The Bengals have won 3 straight and are 5-2 overall, so the streak fits a team that has been winning all season. Three games is a short run, and the record doesn't show the opponents or margins, which is what you'd need to call it dominance. Winning teams can also play with less pressure to force things. Against Atlanta, look at how those 3 wins were earned, then check whether the price has already moved because of the streak.

NYJ has lost 3 straight

The Jets' 3 straight losses match a 2-6 season, so this looks more like their normal level than a sudden slump. The record doesn't show the opponents or margins, so you can't tell yet how competitive they've been. Teams in this spot often take more chances, especially when they fall behind. Going to Kansas City, the useful question for a bettor is how those losses happened, since a price against a struggling team can already reflect the bad record.

LAR: 32.4% third downs allowed to WSH's 42.7%

The Rams let offenses convert just 32.4% of third downs over 8 games, while Washington allows 42.7% over 7. Getting off the field that often limits drives, though third-down rates also depend on the distances a defense creates on earlier downs and the offenses it faced. Over half a season, the gap has some weight but can still move. It points to Washington's offense having the harder time sustaining drives, which is useful when thinking about its team total.

CLE won last season's series 4-0

Cleveland swept Philadelphia last season, winning all 4 meetings by 13.3 a game. That is a lopsided result, but it is only 4 games and all of it comes from last season, with tonight the first meeting this season. Series results like this tend to carry less weight than current form. Use the sweep as background, and start with how both teams are playing now before letting it shape your view of this spread.

ARIZ: 322 pass yards a game to TCU's 275.4

The widest gap between these two is pass yards a game: TCU threw for 275.4 passing yards a game over 8 games; ARIZ threw for 322 passing yards a game over 8 games this season. Last season TCU was at 290.1 over 13 games and ARIZ at 255.2 over 13 games.

NYG: 23.3 points per game to PHI's 17.1

NYG is at 23.3 points per game over 7 games; PHI is at 17.1 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season NYG was at 22.4 over 17 games and PHI at 22.3 over 17 games.

DET has won 3 straight

Detroit is 5-2 and has won its last 3, so this is a team playing well over a decent stretch of the season. The record alone doesn't show who those wins came against or how close they were, and 3 games is a short run. Streaks tend to end once the opponent or the game script changes, so the 5-2 is the sturdier number. Before giving Detroit extra credit at Miami, look at who it beat and how it won.

Dominick Barlow is OUT for PHI

Philadelphia is without Barlow because of a low back stress reaction, and Nick Nurse addressed it on Nov 4, so this has been known for a couple of days. For this game, look at who picks up his frontcourt minutes and whether those players' props have moved yet.

Henri Veesaar is OUT for ATL

Veesaar has been out with a torn right ACL, diagnosed by Sep 21, so Atlanta's current numbers already reflect his absence. This should have little effect on tonight's line.

Mouhamed Gueye is OUT for ATL

Gueye is out after surgery on a left foot fracture, reported Oct 19. Atlanta has had time to adjust, so tonight's market should already account for it.

Kon Knueppel is OUT for CHA

Knueppel is out with a left hamstring strain, and that was reported Nov 5, so the line has had time to react. Against Boston, look at who takes his shots and minutes, and whether those players' props have adjusted.

Grant Williams is OUT for CHA

Williams is out with a right hamstring strain after Charlotte recalled him on Nov 4. Check how much he had been part of the rotation before giving this much weight in the spread.

Dereck Lively II is OUT for DAL

Lively is out after right foot surgery and was also listed out on Nov 1, so this absence is not new. The Dallas line should already reflect it, and his missing minutes matter most for the big men's props.

Donte DiVincenzo is OUT for MIN

DiVincenzo remains out after right Achilles surgery, with reporting going back to Oct 5. Minnesota's results so far already reflect his absence, so this adds little new to tonight's number.

Ariel Hukporti is OUT for PHI

Hukporti is out with a right Achilles tear, reported Oct 6. This is a known long-term absence, so it should already be built into how Philadelphia is priced.

Shaedon Sharpe is OUT for POR

Sharpe is out after surgery on a torn right meniscus, reported Aug 24. Portland's results this season already reflect his absence, so this should not move tonight's line.

Jayden Quaintance is OUT for SAS

Quaintance is out after right knee surgery, and reporting from Oct 5 had him around the team without playing. His absence is already part of how San Antonio has looked, so expect little effect on tonight's price.

Tobias Harris is OUT for SAS

Harris is out with a left calf strain and was also listed out for a game reported Oct 30, so this has carried over. Check who has been filling his minutes during that stretch, because their recent numbers are the useful guide tonight.

Jusuf Nurkic is OUT for UTA

Nurkic is out with a right plantar plate tear and was also ruled out in a report on Nov 3. Utah's frontcourt minutes have to go elsewhere, so look at the big men's props before the spread.

Tristan Vukcevic is OUT for WAS

Vukcevic is out with a left hip impingement and was also listed out on Nov 1. This is a continuing absence, so the Washington line should already account for it.

Jamir Watkins is OUT for WAS

Watkins is out after left ACL surgery, announced by Washington on Jul 30. This is a long-known absence, so it should have no real effect on tonight's price.

Maxime Raynaud is OUT for SAC

Raynaud is out with a right patella subluxation, though Oct 26 reporting described him as progressing. Sacramento's frontcourt minutes are the place to look, and his return timeline is the next thing to follow.

Tarik Biberovic is OUT for DAL

Biberovic is out with right heel bursitis and was also listed out on Nov 1. This is a continuing absence, so tonight's Dallas line should already include it.

Trey Alexander is OUT for UTA

Alexander is listed out on a G League two-way designation, and an Oct 24 report also had him missing a game. A listing like this rarely changes how a bettor should view the game.

Nate Bittle is OUT for TOR

Bittle is out with a right avulsion fracture and also missed Monday's game, per a Nov 2 report. The market has seen this absence already, so look at Toronto's replacement minutes more than the spread.

Devin Carter is OUT for BOS

Carter is listed out on a G League two-way designation, and a Nov 4 report had him practicing with the Maine Celtics. This should mean little for how you view Boston tonight.

Ben Simmons is OUT for SAC

Simmons is out after right Achilles surgery, reported Oct 21. Sacramento's current numbers should already reflect this, so it adds little to tonight's picture.

Yves Missi is OUT for NOP

Missi is out with a left knee bone bruise, reported Nov 5. New Orleans has to replace his minutes up front against Minnesota, so check the other big men's props and whether they have moved.

Keegan Murray is OUT for SAC

Murray is out with left ankle capsulitis, and Oct 26 reporting put him on a re-evaluation timeline. Sacramento has played without him, so its recent games are the right guide for tonight's rotation and price.

Kawhi Leonard is OUT for TOR

Leonard is out for left knee injury management, with Nov 4 reporting saying he completed a treatment. He is the big name on this list, so see how far Toronto's line has moved and who is taking on his scoring.

Cason Wallace is OUT for OKC

Wallace is out after left shoulder surgery, reported Oct 31. This is a known absence, so Oklahoma City's backcourt minutes matter more than any fresh shift in the spread.

Jalen Williams is OUT for OKC

Williams is out after left ankle surgery, reported Oct 28. Oklahoma City has had time to adjust, so the question for bettors is who has absorbed his scoring and whether those props have caught up.

Chet Holmgren is OUT for OKC

Holmgren is out for right knee recovery after a biological treatment reported Oct 31. His absence changes Oklahoma City's frontcourt, so check how its recent games without him compare with tonight's price at Memphis.

Thomas Sorber is OUT for OKC

Sorber is out after right knee surgery and was also ruled out in a Nov 3 report. This continues an existing absence, so tonight's Oklahoma City line should already include it.

Nikola Topic is OUT for OKC

Topic is out after low back surgery and was also listed out in a Nov 3 report. This is a continuing absence, so it should add little to tonight's number.

Justin Champagnie is OUT for WAS

Champagnie is out after right foot surgery, with Oct 28 reporting saying he was expected to miss several weeks or more of time. Washington's recent games already reflect this, so it should not move much tonight.

Sergio De Larrea is OUT for DAL

De Larrea is out with a right knee sprain, reported Nov 5. Dallas needs someone else to take those minutes against Utah, so look there first if you are checking props.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is OUT for UTA

Jackson is out with a torn right MCL, diagnosed by Oct 27. Utah's recent results already include some games without him, so judge the team on those instead of its full season numbers.

Anthony Edwards is OUT for MIN

Edwards is out after right knee arthroscopy, reported Oct 29. Minnesota has already played without him, so the games since then are the best guide to how this team scores and how its line should look.

Ja Morant is OUT for POR

Morant is out with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, diagnosed by Oct 30. Portland has had time to adjust, so look at who is handling the ball and whether their props reflect the extra work.

Jaylon Tyson is OUT for CLE

Tyson is out with a right ankle sprain, reported Nov 5. Cleveland needs to replace his minutes against Philadelphia, so see who steps in and whether the market has adjusted those players' props.

Jock Landale is OUT for ATL

Landale is out with a left hip strain, reported Nov 5. Atlanta loses a frontcourt option against Washington, so check who takes those minutes and whether their rebounding props have moved.

Scotty Pippen Jr. is OUT for MEM

Pippen is out with a lumbar disc herniation, reported Nov 5. Memphis has to cover his minutes against Oklahoma City, so look at how its backcourt props are priced.

Reece Beekman is OUT for WAS

Beekman is out with a right AC joint injury, announced by Washington on Nov 2. The market has had days to absorb this, so focus on who is getting his minutes.

Jaylin Williams is OUT for OKC

Williams is out with low back spasms, reported Nov 5. This is a newer absence for Oklahoma City than some others on its list, so check who gets his frontcourt minutes at Memphis.

Kam Jones is OUT for MIL

Jones is out for Milwaukee on a G League two-way designation, with a same-day report also citing his ankle. This should have little effect on how you view the game against Toronto.

Asa Newell is OUT for ATL

Newell is out with a left great toe hyperextension, reported Nov 5. Atlanta has to replace his minutes against Washington, so check whether props for the players behind him have moved.

Adem Bona is OUT for PHI

Bona is out with a cervical spine sprain after being called doubtful on Nov 5. That doubt is now settled, so check whether Philadelphia's frontcourt props and the Cleveland line have fully caught up.

Isaiah Stewart is OUT for MEM

Stewart is out with a right knee bone bruise, reported Nov 5. Memphis has to cover those frontcourt minutes against Oklahoma City, so look at who takes them and how their props are priced.

Vit Krejci is OUT for POR

Portland lists Krejci with a left ankle fracture, a real injury after a report from head coach Micah Nori the day before. A fracture usually means more than a one-night absence, so this one should stay on your radar past tonight. Check who picks up the minutes before you look at Portland's role players.

Malik Dia is OUT for NOP

Dia is on a G League two-way listing with no injury attached. New Orleans has this same tag on Jaron Pierre Jr. tonight, so it reads as a roster designation and gives no reason on its own to change your view of the game.

Jaron Pierre Jr. is OUT for NOP

Pierre is listed under G League two-way, with no injury reported. The evidence here shows only a roster designation, so it gives you no reason on its own to adjust your number for New Orleans.

Chris Cenac Jr. is OUT for BOS

Cenac is on G League assignment, so this is a roster move with no injury attached. Before reading anything into it, check whether Boston was using Cenac in the rotation.

Dillon Mitchell is OUT for BOS

Mitchell is listed under G League two-way, with no injury reported. Boston has several players on similar listings tonight, and the bigger item on its report is Payton Pritchard's questionable tag.

Amari Williams is OUT for BOS

Williams is out on a G League two-way listing, with no injury attached. On its own, this gives you no reason to move your view of Boston tonight.

Michael Ajayi is OUT for CHA

Ajayi is listed under G League two-way, with no injury reported. Charlotte's report matters more at the questionable spots, where Moussa Diabate and Dennis Schroder are both unsettled.

Christian Anderson is OUT for CHA

Anderson is on G League assignment, so this is a roster decision and no injury is listed. Check whether Anderson had a rotation role for Charlotte before giving it any weight.

Kylan Boswell is OUT for CHA

Boswell is out on a G League two-way listing, with no injury attached. The evidence offers no reason to adjust your view of Charlotte because of it.

PJ Hall is OUT for CHA

Hall is listed under G League two-way, with no injury reported. It's one of several similar designations on Charlotte's report tonight, and none of them carries the weight of an injury to a regular.

Hannes Steinbach is OUT for CHA

Steinbach is on G League assignment, with no injury attached. Check whether Steinbach had been in Charlotte's rotation before reading anything into the absence.

Felix Okpara is OUT for WAS

Okpara is out on a G League two-way listing, with no injury reported. Washington's report turns on Anthony Davis and his right ankle sprain, so that's the status to follow.

Keshon Gilbert is OUT for ATL

Gilbert is out with left knee inflammation, and the report the day before had already ruled out Friday's game. The bigger Atlanta question tonight is Jalen Johnson's questionable tag, so read this one alongside it.

Khalifa Diop is OUT for CLE

Diop is on G League assignment, so no injury is behind this absence. Cleveland's frontcourt question sits with Jarrett Allen's questionable tag, and that's the status that could change how you see this game.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin is OUT for CLE

Tomlin is out with a low back stress reaction, a real injury and a different case from Cleveland's G League listings tonight. Cleveland also has three players listed as questionable, so check the full report before settling on a view of its depth.

Ernest Udeh, Jr. is OUT for CLE

Udeh is listed under G League two-way, with no injury reported. If Jarrett Allen sits with the knee contusion, Cleveland's big-man depth gets more attention, so read the two reports together.

Kevin McCullar Jr. is OUT for TOR

McCullar is out on a G League two-way listing, with no injury attached. Toronto's status that matters is Scottie Barnes and the groin issue, which is still unsettled.

Malachi Smith is OUT for TOR

Smith is listed under G League two-way, with no injury reported. On its own, this gives you no reason to change your view of Toronto.

Harrison Ingram is OUT for UTA

Ingram is out on a G League two-way listing, with no injury attached. The evidence shows a roster designation only, so check for a rotation role before giving it any weight for Utah.

Bogoljub Marković is OUT for MIL

Marković is on G League assignment, so this is a roster decision with no injury listed. Check whether Marković had been getting Milwaukee minutes before adjusting anything.

Pete Nance is OUT for MIL

Nance is listed under G League two-way, with no injury reported. It gives you no reason on its own to adjust your view of Milwaukee.

Cormac Ryan is OUT for MIL

Ryan is out on a G League two-way listing, with no injury attached. Milwaukee has similar listings for Pete Nance and Bogoljub Marković tonight, and none of the three reflects an injury.

Maliq Brown is OUT for SAS

Brown is listed under G League two-way, with no injury reported. San Antonio has the same tag on Ja'Kobi Gillespie, so this looks like roster housekeeping more than a change to the game.

Ja'Kobi Gillespie is OUT for SAS

Gillespie is out on a G League two-way listing, with no injury attached. The evidence gives no reason to change your view of San Antonio because of it.

Sean Pedulla is OUT for SAC

Pedulla is listed under G League two-way, with no injury reported. On its own, this gives you no reason to move your view of Sacramento.

John Tonje is OUT for POR

Tonje is out on a G League two-way listing, with no injury attached. Portland's absence with more weight is Vit Krejci and the left ankle fracture.

Cameron Carr is OUT for LAL

Carr is on G League assignment, so this is a roster move with no injury listed. For the Lakers, the status to follow is Sandro Mamukelashvili's illness.

Bronny James is OUT for LAL

James is on G League assignment, with no injury attached. The name draws attention, but the listing itself gives you no reason to change your view of the Lakers.

LAL has won 3 straight

The Lakers have won 3 straight by 13.3 a game and are 7-2 in their last-10 mark, so the streak fits a strong start. Three games is too few to trust the margin on its own, and it could easily shrink. The 7-2 record is the better evidence of who they have been. Against Portland, the larger record gives more to work with than the streak when you judge the spread.

POR has won 3 straight

Portland has won 3 straight by 14.3 a game and is 6-1 over its last 7, a strong run on both counts. Three games is a thin basis for a margin that large, so it is likely to come down. The 6-1 record carries more weight, though 7 games is still a small sample. At the Lakers, ask whether the spread gives Portland credit for the record or discounts it because of the opponent and venue.

BJ Thurman (TE) is doubtful for ILL

TE #87 listed Doubtful on the Big Ten Update 2 report Big Ten availability report (Update 2, published 2026-11-05 19:00:00 CT) (2026-11-05)

NYG: 184.9 passing yards allowed per game to PHI's 235.4

The Giants allow 184.9 passing yards a game over 7 games, while Philadelphia allows 235.4 over 8. A low yardage total can mean a good secondary, or it can mean opponents had little need to throw, and these numbers can't separate the two without opponent or game-script context. That makes the gap less solid than it looks. For passing props in this game, consider how the score may unfold before leaning on the Giants' number.

LAR: 191.9 passing yards allowed per game to WSH's 243

LAR is at 191.9 passing yards allowed per game over 8 games; WSH is at 243 over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

LAC: 30.6% third downs allowed to HOU's 40.4%

The Chargers allow conversions on 30.6% of third downs and Houston allows 40.4%, each over 7 games. That means the Chargers have been ending drives much more reliably, although third-down rates can be helped by the offenses faced and the distances those offenses needed. Seven games is enough to take seriously, but not enough to call it settled. For this game, it favors the Chargers in the drive-extension battle, which matters for Houston's team total and the pace of the game.

DET: 5.94 yards per play to MIA's 5.13

Detroit's 5.94 yards per play over 7 games nearly matches its 5.97 last season, so this offense looks like the same one. Miami is at 5.13 over 7, down from 5.4. In their last games, the Lions' only 20+ yard play was Jahmyr Gibbs' 30-yard touchdown run, while Miami had 2, led by Malik Willis' 35-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Coleman Jr. That is one game each, so trust Detroit's longer track record when sizing up the efficiency gap.

Kyle Dugger (S) is questionable for CIN

Cincinnati lists Dugger, a safety, as questionable for the Atlanta game, which means his status is uncertain. The report from Nov 3 doesn't name an injury or a replacement, so there is little here to size the impact. Check the final inactive list before leaning on any view of the Bengals' secondary.

Jordan Battle (S) is questionable for CIN

Battle is questionable for Cincinnati's game at Atlanta, and the report gives no injury or practice detail. That leaves his status open and little else to go on, so wait for his final designation before factoring him into the Bengals' secondary.

Cameron Williams (OL) is ir-r for ATL

Williams (ankle) will remain on injured reserve and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhany of the Falcons' official site reports. Reported Nov 1.

James Pearce Jr. (LB) is questionable for ATL

ATL lists James Pearce Jr. as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 6.

Alec Pierce (WR) is on injured reserve for IND

When asked Wednesday when Pierce (heel) might be able to return to practice, Colts head coach Shane Steichen noted that he "can't put a timetable on it right now," Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. Reported Nov 4.

Harrison Phillips (DT) is questionable for NYJ

The Jets list Phillips as questionable at Kansas City, so he may or may not play, and the report gives no injury or practice detail. If your view of the Chiefs' running game depends on the Jets' interior defensive line, check whether he is active first.

Trevin Wallace (LB) is questionable for NYJ

The Jets list Wallace as questionable for the Kansas City trip, meaning his status is uncertain, but the report gives no injury or practice detail. Wait for the inactive list before building him into your read on the New York defense.

Isiah Pacheco (RB) is on injured reserve for DET

Lions coach Dan Campbell said Friday that Pacheco (back) has a chance to return in late December, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports. Reported Oct 30.

Darrell Baker Jr. (CB) is pup-r for MIA

Jeremy McNichols (RB) is on injured reserve for WSH

RJ Harvey (RB) is on injured reserve for DEN

The Broncos placed Harvey (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Reported Oct 31.

CLE: 21.6 points allowed per game to NO's 27.7

CLE is at 21.6 points allowed per game over 8 games; NO is at 27.7 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season CLE was at 22.3 over 17 games and NO at 22.5 over 17 games.

CHI: 71.9 offensive plays per game to TB's 62.1

TB is at 62.1 offensive plays per game over 8 games; CHI is at 71.9 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season TB was at 62.8 over 17 games and CHI at 64.9 over 17 games.

ARI @ SEA carries a 39.5 market total

The 39.5 total sits 5 points below the slate median, so the market expects scoring to come slowly, with long fields and plenty of kicks. For that to crack, one offense has to start hitting explosive plays or a turnover has to hand over a short field. In a low-total spot like this, one or two quick touchdowns can change the whole shape of the game, so the number has less room for surprises than it seems.

CAR has 3 more days of rest

DEN comes in on a short week (5 days since its last game); CAR on 8 days since its last game. That is a 3-day spacing gap between the sides.

GB has 3 more days of rest

Green Bay has 8 days, while New England is on 5, a 3-day difference that partly offsets the Packers' road trip. The Patriots stay home, which saves them travel time on a short week, but they still have less time to recover. Check who practices fully for New England late in the week, since that will show whether the shorter turnaround is affecting the lineup.

JAX (6-2) at BAL (4-5)

Jacksonville's 6-2 record is backed by a +108 point margin, so the wins have been convincing, and it arrives on 2 straight wins with a 2-1 road mark. Baltimore has lost 4 straight, is -47 on the year and is 1-3 at home, so its 4-5 record may flatter it. The home and road samples are tiny, so the season margins are the sturdier evidence. Weigh whether the market has already priced in both Jacksonville's form and Baltimore's slide.

CIN (5-2) at ATL (3-5)

Cincinnati has the momentum, with 3 straight wins, a +48 margin and a 3-1 road record that makes this trip less of a worry. Atlanta's 3-5 record may undersell it a bit, since -18 points is a modest deficit and it has lost just 1 straight. The 1-3 home mark is the real concern, but that's a small sample and could move. In this spot, trust the gap in season margin more than the home and road splits.

DAL (3-5) at IND (2-6)

Dallas is the classic undersold record: 3-5 with a +6 margin means the Cowboys have outscored opponents despite the losses. Indianapolis has earned its 2-6, with 4 straight losses and -61 on the year, and the Colts are 1-2 at home. Dallas is 2-2 on the road, so nothing there changes the picture. If the market prices these as two similar losing teams, the scoring margins say they have played quite differently.

NYJ (2-6) at KC (5-2)

The Jets are 2-6 and on 3 straight losses, but -18 says they have been more competitive than the record suggests. Kansas City is the odd one: 5-2 and +36 with 2 straight losses, yet 3-0 at home. A small home sample and a short skid both can shift quickly, so neither should carry too much weight. Think about whether the recent losses have made the Chiefs cheaper, and whether the Jets' margin earns them any respect on the spread.

DET (5-2) at MIA (1-6)

Detroit brings 3 straight wins, but +23 is modest for 5-2 and the Lions are only 1-2 on the road. Miami's 1-6 is backed by -64, and the Dolphins are 0-3 at home, so the bad record looks earned. Three road games is a short sample, while Miami's season margin is harder to wave away. The big question for a bettor is whether Detroit's middling margin justifies the price a 5-2 team usually gets against a 1-6 one.

LAR (4-4) at WSH (2-4-1)

The Rams look better than 4-4, with a +26 margin, 2 straight wins and a 2-1 road record. Washington is 2-4-1 and -23 on the year, but it has won 1 straight and is 2-1-1 at home, so this is a tougher building than the overall record suggests. Those splits come from only a few games, so they could shift quickly. Start from the Rams' stronger season margin, then give Washington some credit for its home results.

HOU (2-5) at LAC (0-7)

Houston is 2-5 at just -5, so the Texans have played far closer than the record reads, and they are 2-1 on the road. Los Angeles is the opposite case: 0-7, -76 and 0-3 at home, with the margin confirming how rough the year has been. A winless team will win eventually, but nothing here says when. Houston's margin is the useful number, since its record may keep the price lower than its play deserves.

LV (4-4) at SF (6-1)

San Francisco's 6-1 is backed by +58, and 4-0 at home makes this a tough room, even coming off a loss. Las Vegas is 4-4 at -9, so the Raiders are close to the average team their record suggests. Their 3-1 road mark is the interesting part, but that is only 4 games and sits beside a negative margin. Expect the road number to cool, and give San Francisco's full-season scoring more weight than the single loss.

TB (3-5) at CHI (6-2)

Tampa Bay is the mispriced-looking record here: 3-5 with +27 reads like a much better team, and the Buccaneers have won 2 straight and are 2-1 on the road. Chicago earns its 6-2 with +54, 3 straight wins and a 3-1 home mark. Both teams arrive playing well, and Tampa's margin suggests its record should improve. If the market prices this off the standings alone, the Bucs may be closer than they look.

NYG: 21 first downs per game to PHI's 16.1

NYG is at 21 first downs per game over 7 games; PHI is at 16.1 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season NYG was at 20.4 over 17 games and PHI at 18 over 17 games.

LAR: 23.3 first downs per game to WSH's 18.3

LAR is at 23.3 first downs per game over 8 games; WSH is at 18.3 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season LAR was at 23.3 over 17 games and WSH at 19 over 17 games.

JAX: 229.3 team passing yards per game to BAL's 188.4

JAX is at 229.3 team passing yards per game over 8 games; BAL is at 188.4 over 9 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season JAX was at 222.3 over 17 games and BAL at 175.6 over 17 games.

LAC: 1.57 takeaways per game to HOU's 0.86

The Chargers are taking the ball away 1.57 times a game, while Houston is at 0.86, each over 7 games. Takeaways are among the streakier defensive numbers, with bounces and opposing quarterback mistakes playing a big part, so this gap could easily narrow. Be cautious about a price that assumes it will continue. In this game, it is a modest point for the Chargers and a weak reason to back a side by itself.

DET: 0.57 turnovers committed per game to MIA's 1.29

DET is at 0.57 turnovers committed per game over 7 games; MIA is at 1.29 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DET was at 0.88 over 17 games and MIA at 1.41 over 17 games.

HOU: 0.29 fumbles lost per game to LAC's 1

HOU is at 0.29 fumbles lost per game over 7 games; LAC is at 1 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season HOU was at 0.18 over 17 games and LAC at 0.41 over 17 games.

CAR: 66.6 offensive plays per game to DEN's 57

DEN is at 57 offensive plays per game over 8 games; CAR is at 66.6 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DEN was at 64.2 over 17 games and CAR at 59.5 over 17 games.

DET: 66.6 offensive plays per game to MIA's 56.9

DET is at 66.6 offensive plays per game over 7 games; MIA is at 56.9 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DET was at 62.5 over 17 games and MIA at 55.8 over 17 games.

JAX: 1.63 sacks taken per game to BAL's 2.56

JAX is at 1.63 sacks taken per game over 8 games; BAL is at 2.56 over 9 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season JAX was at 3.42 over 17 games and BAL at 2.65 over 17 games.

KC: 6.29 yards per play to NYJ's 5.51

Kansas City gains more on a typical snap, but both offenses are well ahead of last season, when the Chiefs sat at 5.05 and the Jets at 4.36. The Jets had the bigger last game, with 7 plays of 20+ yards to the Chiefs' 3. Over 7 or 8 games, one throw like the 73-yard Mahomes touchdown to Emmett Johnson can move these rates, so some give back is likely. Judge this spot by whether Geno Smith can keep hitting big plays and keep up with Mahomes.

NO: 23.1 points per game to CLE's 17.4

CLE is at 17.4 points per game over 8 games; NO is at 23.1 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season CLE was at 16.4 over 17 games and NO at 18 over 17 games.

CAR: 5.5 yards per play to DEN's 4.74

These teams have traded places from last season, when Denver was at 5.32 and Carolina at 4.92. Carolina now has the edge on a typical play, but Bo Nix had 4 plays of 20+ yards last game, all among Denver's top gainers, while Carolina had 1. That makes Denver's season number the likelier one to climb, and Carolina's gap over 7 games looks less secure than it reads. Look at whether Carolina can sustain drives if its big plays stay scarce.

DEN: 0.75 turnovers committed per game to CAR's 1.43

DEN is at 0.75 turnovers committed per game over 8 games; CAR is at 1.43 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DEN was at 1 over 17 games and CAR at 1.35 over 17 games.

ATL: 4.55 yards per rush attempt to CIN's 3.59

CIN is at 3.59 yards per rush attempt over 7 games; ATL is at 4.55 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season CIN was at 4.14 over 17 games and ATL at 4.39 over 17 games.

NYG: 116.7 rushing yards per game to PHI's 88.1

NYG is at 116.7 rushing yards per game over 7 games; PHI is at 88.1 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season NYG was at 129.1 over 17 games and PHI at 116.9 over 17 games.

DAL: 4 red-zone trips per game to IND's 2.75

DAL is at 4 red-zone trips per game over 8 games; IND is at 2.75 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DAL was at 3.82 over 17 games and IND at 3.88 over 17 games.

Jer'Zhan Newton (DT) is ir-r for WSH

Newton (pectoral) practiced in full Wednesday, Ben Standig of The Team 980 Washington D.C. reports. Reported Nov 5.

Joe Cardona (LS) is questionable for LAR

LAR lists Joe Cardona as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 3.

Tucker Addington (LS) is questionable for MIA

MIA lists Tucker Addington as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 4.

DEN (6-2) at CAR (3-4)

Denver is the record to question: 6-2 with 4 straight wins, yet only +7 on the year, which points to a lot of close games. Margins that thin make a record like this likely to come back toward the middle. Carolina is 3-4, -15 and 1-2 at home, with 2 straight losses, so the Panthers have no strong case either. The Broncos have the momentum, but their scoring gives little support for paying a big price.

Kerby Joseph (S) is pup-r for DET

Joseph (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Reported Nov 5.

Yasir Abdullah (LB) is ir-r for ATL

Abdullah (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday. Reported Nov 5.

TB: 2 takeaways per game to CHI's 1.38

Tampa Bay has been the better ball-hawking defense, taking it away 0.63 more times a game than Chicago across 8 games each. Takeaways swing on a handful of plays, so a gap built over 8 games can move quickly. These averages aren't adjusted for opponent, so check which quarterbacks each defense has faced before building a view of this game around turnovers.

LAC: 50% red-zone scoring allowed to HOU's 68.4%

HOU is at 68.4% red-zone scoring allowed over 7 games; LAC is at 50% over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

DAL: 47.5% third-down conversion rate to IND's 38.5%

DAL is at 47.5% third-down conversion rate over 8 games; IND is at 38.5% over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DAL was at 41.1% over 17 games and IND at 42.6% over 17 games.

SEA: 1.63 takeaways per game to ARI's 1

ARI is at 1 takeaways per game over 8 games; SEA is at 1.63 over 8 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

CIN: 22.1 first downs per game to ATL's 17.6

CIN is at 22.1 first downs per game over 7 games; ATL is at 17.6 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season CIN was at 20.7 over 17 games and ATL at 19.4 over 17 games.

CIN: 60% fourth-down conversion rate to ATL's 33.3%

CIN is at 60% fourth-down conversion rate over 7 games; ATL is at 33.3% over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season CIN was at 70% over 17 games and ATL at 50% over 17 games.

NYG: 5.17 yards per play to PHI's 4.45

The Giants are almost exactly who they were last season, 5.17 now and 5.15 then, so this gap comes from Philadelphia falling from 5.27. New York also brought big plays from both the pass and the run last game, with 7 gains of 20+ yards to the Eagles' 3. Eight games is a real slump, though an offense that good last season has room to bounce back. Weigh this game on whether the Eagles' recent form or their longer track record deserves more trust.

LV: 1.63 takeaways per game to SF's 1

LV is at 1.63 takeaways per game over 8 games; SF is at 1 over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

LAC: 111.1 rushing yards per game to HOU's 84.7

HOU is at 84.7 rushing yards per game over 7 games; LAC is at 111.1 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season HOU was at 108.9 over 17 games and LAC at 121.6 over 17 games.

Kayode Awosika (G) is questionable for LAC

LAC lists Kayode Awosika as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 3.

Denzel Perryman (LB) is ir-r for LAC

The Chargers designated Perryman (undisclosed) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports. Reported Nov 5.

Sam Cosmi (G) is questionable for WSH

WSH lists Sam Cosmi as questionable on the injury report. Reported Nov 5.

CLE: 38.7% third downs allowed to NO's 47.8%

Cleveland allows conversions on 38.7% of third downs over 8 games, while New Orleans allows 47.8% over 7. The Saints have been letting opponents stay on the field much more often, although the sheet doesn't show the offenses each team faced or the distances involved. Their number could improve, but over 7 games it is more than a blip. For bettors, it suggests Cleveland's offense may get extra chances to extend drives, which is relevant to its team total.

LAC: 198.4 passing yards allowed per game to HOU's 244

HOU is at 244 passing yards allowed per game over 7 games; LAC is at 198.4 over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

SEA: 30.6% third downs allowed to ARI's 39.4%

Seattle allows conversions on 30.6% of third downs and Arizona allows 39.4%, each over 8 games. That is half a season of Seattle getting off the field more often, though neither number adjusts for the offenses faced or the distances they needed. The gap can narrow, but it has enough games behind it to count. For this game, it makes sustained drives look harder for Arizona, which is a useful starting point for its team total.

SMU is 5-0 at home; VT is 3-1 on the road

The site split favours SMU: SMU has played 5 games at home this season and VT 4 games away from it. 2026 standings through 2026-11-06.

SAS won last season's series 3-0

San Antonio won all three meetings last season by 19.3 a game, which is a lopsided series. Three games from a past season can only carry so much, and a margin that size is hard to repeat. It's a starting point for tonight's first meeting, and current form should count for more.

DEN: 53.5 penalty yards per game to CAR's 73.7

DEN is at 53.5 penalty yards per game over 8 games; CAR is at 73.7 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DEN was at 67.6 over 17 games and CAR at 44.8 over 17 games.

NYG: 6.06 yards per pass attempt to PHI's 4.86

NYG is at 6.06 yards per pass attempt over 7 games; PHI is at 4.86 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season NYG was at 5.79 over 17 games and PHI at 6.33 over 17 games.

DET: 6.99 yards per pass attempt to MIA's 5.77

DET is at 6.99 yards per pass attempt over 7 games; MIA is at 5.77 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DET was at 7.09 over 17 games and MIA at 6 over 17 games.

OKC won last season's series 3-0

Oklahoma City swept last season's three meetings with Memphis and won by 10.3 a game, so these weren't coin flips. That's still only three games, all from last season, and tonight is the first meeting this season. Use it as background on the matchup, then lean on how both teams look now.

JAX: 46.4% third-down conversion rate to BAL's 37.8%

JAX is at 46.4% third-down conversion rate over 8 games; BAL is at 37.8% over 9 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season JAX was at 39.2% over 17 games and BAL at 40.9% over 17 games.

LAR: 21 points allowed per game to WSH's 26

LAR is at 21 points allowed per game over 8 games; WSH is at 26 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season LAR was at 20.4 over 17 games and WSH at 26.5 over 17 games.

BUF: 11.4 sack yards lost per game to MIN's 19.9

BUF is at 11.4 sack yards lost per game over 7 games; MIN is at 19.9 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season BUF was at 21.3 over 17 games and MIN at 24.9 over 17 games.

SF is 4-0 at home; LV is 3-1 on the road

San Francisco has won all 4 home games and Las Vegas has won 3 of 4 on the road, so both teams have handled these settings so far. Four games each is a small sample, and the records don't show who either team played. Perfect home marks rarely last, and one loss would change how this looks. The split favours San Francisco, but the Raiders' road record is a reason to look at who each team beat before assuming home field decides it.

LAR @ WSH carries a 48.5 market total

This is the mildest lean of the group: 48.5 is 4 points above the slate median, which points to a game with above-average scoring and no expectation of a track meet. That leaves it sensitive to how drives finish, since swapping a couple of touchdowns for field goals can put the game well short of the number. A bettor can think of this as a game that needs steady offense from both teams, more than one that needs big plays.

HOU @ LAC carries a 40.5 market total

At 40.5, 4 points under the slate median, the market expects a lower-scoring game, though less extreme than the slate's lowest totals. It cracks if either offense starts turning drives into touchdowns early, or if turnovers create short fields. The useful question for a bettor is whether the game stays close, because a tight, patient script fits this number and a trailing team throwing late can push scoring past it.

CHI: 23.8% third downs allowed to TB's 32%

Chicago has gotten off the field on third down much more often than Tampa Bay, with an 8.3-point gap over 8 games each. These are raw rates with no opponent adjustment, and third-down numbers also depend on how far offences have to go. Look at how each defense does on early downs: if Chicago is forcing long third downs, this has a sturdier base than if a few short-yardage stops are propping it up.

NYG is 1-1-1 on the road; PHI is 1-3 at home

Neither side has a strong case here: the Giants are 1-1-1 on the road and the Eagles have won once in 4 home games. These are tiny samples, and 3 road games with a tie in them say little about the Giants. Splits this small tend to move quickly, since one result changes the picture. Philadelphia's home record gives you a reason to doubt any automatic home-field bump, and it is thin support for backing New York on its own.

BUF: 70% red-zone scoring rate to MIN's 56.3%

BUF is at 70% red-zone scoring rate over 7 games; MIN is at 56.3% over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season BUF was at 66.2% over 17 games and MIN at 56.9% over 17 games.

LAR: 1.5 sacks taken per game to WSH's 2.29

LAR is at 1.5 sacks taken per game over 8 games; WSH is at 2.29 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season LAR was at 1.77 over 17 games and WSH at 2.31 over 17 games.

Joe Fagnano is the projected starting quarterback for BAL

Through 2 games in 2026, Joe Fagnano threw for 151 passing yards, completed 51.3% of his passes and averaged 3.87 yards per attempt. His 0-3 touchdown-to-interception line rounds out the current sample without turning an early-season profile into a settled one.

Daniel Jones is the projected starting quarterback for IND

Through 8 games in 2026, Daniel Jones threw for 1542 passing yards, completed 60.4% of his passes and averaged 5.75 yards per attempt. Last season over 13 games he threw for 3101 yards, completed 68% and averaged 8.08 yards per attempt, 19-8 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 5-9 touchdown-to-interception line is 8 games in.

Geno Smith is the projected starting quarterback for NYJ

Through 8 games in 2026, Geno Smith threw for 1913 passing yards, completed 69% of his passes and averaged 8 yards per attempt. Last season over 15 games he threw for 3025 yards, completed 67.4% and averaged 6.75 yards per attempt, 19-17 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 12-3 touchdown-to-interception line is 8 games in.

Patrick Mahomes is the projected starting quarterback for KC

Through 7 games in 2026, Patrick Mahomes threw for 1795 passing yards, completed 66.4% of his passes and averaged 7.74 yards per attempt. Last season over 14 games he threw for 3587 yards, completed 62.7% and averaged 7.14 yards per attempt, 22-11 touchdowns to interceptions.

Through 7 games in 2026, Jared Goff threw for 1964 passing yards, completed 67.7% of his passes and averaged 7.92 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 4564 yards, completed 68% and averaged 7.9 yards per attempt, 34-8 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 15-1 touchdown-to-interception line is 7 games in.

Malik Willis is the projected starting quarterback for MIA

Through 7 games in 2026, Malik Willis threw for 1268 passing yards, completed 59% of his passes and averaged 6.93 yards per attempt. Last season over 4 games he threw for 422 yards, completed 85.7% and averaged 12.06 yards per attempt, 3-0 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 6-5 touchdown-to-interception line is 7 games in.

Tyler Shough is the projected starting quarterback for NO

Through 7 games in 2026, Tyler Shough threw for 1721 passing yards, completed 67% of his passes and averaged 6.3 yards per attempt. Last season over 11 games he threw for 2384 yards, completed 67.6% and averaged 7.29 yards per attempt, 10-6 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 13-6 touchdown-to-interception line is 7 games in.

J.J. McCarthy is the projected starting quarterback for NYG

Through 3 games in 2026, J.J. McCarthy threw for 495 passing yards, completed 63.3% of his passes and averaged 10.1 yards per attempt. Last season over 10 games he threw for 1632 yards, completed 57.6% and averaged 6.72 yards per attempt, 11-12 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 1-1 touchdown-to-interception line is 3 games in.

Joe Milton is the projected starting quarterback for PHI

In 2025, Joe Milton threw for 183 passing yards, completed 62.5% of his passes and averaged 7.63 yards per attempt. His 1-2 touchdown-to-interception line puts that prior-season passing production in the context of his ball security over the same sample.

WSH: 2.29 sacks recorded per game to LAR's 1.5

LAR is at 1.5 sacks recorded per game over 8 games; WSH is at 2.29 over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

Matthew Stafford is the projected starting quarterback for LAR

Through 8 games in 2026, Matthew Stafford threw for 2146 passing yards, completed 67.3% of his passes and averaged 7.08 yards per attempt.

Jayden Daniels is the projected starting quarterback for WSH

Through 5 games in 2026, Jayden Daniels threw for 976 passing yards, completed 62.8% of his passes and averaged 6.73 yards per attempt. Last season over 7 games he threw for 1262 yards, completed 60.6% and averaged 6.71 yards per attempt, 8-3 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 6-0 touchdown-to-interception line is 5 games in.

Bo Nix is the projected starting quarterback for DEN

Through 8 games in 2026, Bo Nix threw for 1493 passing yards, completed 59.6% of his passes and averaged 5.97 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 3931 yards, completed 63.4% and averaged 6.42 yards per attempt, 25-11 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 9-3 touchdown-to-interception line is 8 games in.

Bryce Young is the projected starting quarterback for CAR

Through 7 games in 2026, Bryce Young threw for 1921 passing yards, completed 58.7% of his passes and averaged 7.14 yards per attempt. Last season over 16 games he threw for 3011 yards, completed 63.6% and averaged 6.3 yards per attempt, 23-11 touchdowns to interceptions.

Through 8 games in 2026, Trevor Lawrence threw for 1932 passing yards, completed 65.2% of his passes and averaged 8.63 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 4007 yards, completed 60.9% and averaged 7.16 yards per attempt, 29-12 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 18-4 touchdown-to-interception line is 8 games in.

CLE: 5.19 yards per play allowed to NO's 5.83

Cleveland gives up 0.64 fewer yards each snap than New Orleans, over 8 games to the Saints' 7. Per-play numbers don't depend on how many snaps a defense faced, so game script bends this less than a yards-per-game total. Schedule can still flatter it, since nothing here adjusts for opponent. Compare the offences each team has faced before giving Cleveland full credit for the edge.

MIN: 4.61 yards per play allowed to BUF's 5.24

BUF is at 5.24 yards per play allowed over 7 games; MIN is at 4.61 over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

Justin Herbert is the projected starting quarterback for LAC

Through 7 games in 2026, Justin Herbert threw for 1398 passing yards, completed 61.8% of his passes and averaged 6.59 yards per attempt.

Kirk Cousins is the projected starting quarterback for LV

Through 8 games in 2026, Kirk Cousins threw for 2124 passing yards, completed 63.6% of his passes and averaged 7.5 yards per attempt. Last season over 10 games he threw for 1721 yards, completed 61.7% and averaged 6.4 yards per attempt, 10-5 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 19-5 touchdown-to-interception line is 8 games in.

Brock Purdy is the projected starting quarterback for SF

Through 7 games in 2026, Brock Purdy threw for 1748 passing yards, completed 69.2% of his passes and averaged 8.28 yards per attempt. Last season over 9 games he threw for 2167 yards, completed 69.4% and averaged 7.63 yards per attempt, 20-10 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 15-4 touchdown-to-interception line is 7 games in.

Jordan Love is the projected starting quarterback for GB

Through 8 games in 2026, Jordan Love threw for 2246 passing yards, completed 61.5% of his passes and averaged 7.2 yards per attempt. Last season over 15 games he threw for 3381 yards, completed 66.3% and averaged 7.7 yards per attempt, 23-6 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 16-6 touchdown-to-interception line is 8 games in.

Drake Maye is the projected starting quarterback for NE

Through 8 games in 2026, Drake Maye threw for 1983 passing yards, completed 67.1% of his passes and averaged 8.47 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 4394 yards, completed 72% and averaged 8.93 yards per attempt, 31-8 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 15-8 touchdown-to-interception line is 8 games in.

Gardner Minshew II is the projected starting quarterback for ARI

Last season over 4 games he threw for 37 yards, completed 46.2% and averaged 2.85 yards per attempt, 0-1 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 3-0 touchdown-to-interception line is 1 game in.

Baker Mayfield is the projected starting quarterback for TB

Through 5 games in 2026, Baker Mayfield threw for 679 passing yards, completed 61.8% of his passes and averaged 6.17 yards per attempt. 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 3-2 touchdown-to-interception line is 5 games in.

Last season over 17 games he threw for 3668 yards, completed 69.3% and averaged 7.97 yards per attempt, 25-10 touchdowns to interceptions.

ATL outscored teams by 2.8 a game this season, WAS was outscored by 0.1. 2026-27 regular season: ATL over 9 games, WAS over 8.

NE: 5.96 yards per play to GB's 5.34

Both offenses have slipped a little from last season, New England from 6.23 and Green Bay from 5.61, and the Patriots led this comparison then too. With 8 games each and a similar order two years running, this looks more like a steady difference than a fluke. That gives New England the steadier claim to moving the ball at home, so judge any line on that baseline instead of on one recent result.

KC: 18.7 points allowed per game to NYJ's 23.5

NYJ is at 23.5 points allowed per game over 8 games; KC is at 18.7 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season NYJ was at 29.6 over 17 games and KC at 19.3 over 17 games.

Michael Penix Jr. is the projected starting quarterback for ATL

Through 6 games in 2026, Michael Penix Jr. threw for 1282 passing yards, completed 61.9% of his passes and averaged 7.63 yards per attempt. Last season over 9 games he threw for 1982 yards, completed 60.1% and averaged 7.18 yards per attempt, 9-3 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 9-5 touchdown-to-interception line is 6 games in.

SEA: 94 rushing yards allowed per game to ARI's 122.1

ARI is at 122.1 rushing yards allowed per game over 8 games; SEA is at 94 over 8 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

DAL: 71.9% red-zone scoring rate to IND's 59.1%

DAL is at 71.9% red-zone scoring rate over 8 games; IND is at 59.1% over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DAL was at 56.9% over 17 games and IND at 65.2% over 17 games.

HOU: 60% red-zone scoring rate to LAC's 47.1%

HOU is at 60% red-zone scoring rate over 7 games; LAC is at 47.1% over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season HOU was at 46.3% over 17 games and LAC at 47.4% over 17 games.

HOU: 3.57 red-zone trips per game to LAC's 2.43

HOU is at 3.57 red-zone trips per game over 7 games; LAC is at 2.43 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season HOU was at 3.18 over 17 games and LAC at 3.35 over 17 games.

Dak Prescott is the projected starting quarterback for DAL

Through 8 games in 2026, Dak Prescott threw for 2046 passing yards, completed 65.2% of his passes and averaged 6.78 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 4552 yards, completed 67.3% and averaged 7.59 yards per attempt, 30-10 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 14-5 touchdown-to-interception line is 8 games in.

CIN: 1.43 turnovers committed per game to ATL's 2

CIN is at 1.43 turnovers committed per game over 7 games; ATL is at 2 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season CIN was at 1.41 over 17 games and ATL at 1.06 over 17 games.

PHI: 1 turnover committed per game to NYG's 1.57

NYG is at 1.57 turnovers committed per game over 7 games; PHI is at 1 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season NYG was at 1 over 17 games and PHI at 0.88 over 17 games.

Joe Burrow is the projected starting quarterback for CIN

Through 7 games in 2026, Joe Burrow threw for 2115 passing yards, completed 73% of his passes and averaged 7.92 yards per attempt. Last season over 8 games he threw for 1809 yards, completed 66.8% and averaged 6.99 yards per attempt, 17-5 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 20-6 touchdown-to-interception line is 7 games in.

Brady Christensen (G) is ir-r for CAR

Christensen (hamstring) was a full participant at the Panthers' practice Thursday, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports. Reported Nov 6.

Greg Van Roten (G) is ir-r for NE

Van Roten (thigh) was designated to return from injured reserve by New England on Wednesday, Matt Legros of Patriots Wire reports. Reported Nov 5.

Tip Reiman (TE) is pup-r for ARI

Head coach Mike LaFleur stated he's "not too sure" if Reiman (ankle) will play this season, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports. Reported Oct 26.

Isaiah Adams (G) is ir-r for ARI

Adams (ankle) was a limited participant at the Cardinals' practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Reported Nov 6.

HOU: 98 rushing yards allowed per game to LAC's 124.6

HOU is at 98 rushing yards allowed per game over 7 games; LAC is at 124.6 over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

CLE: 196.6 passing yards allowed per game to NO's 233.3

Cleveland allows 36.7 fewer passing yards a game than New Orleans, though that gap can reflect game flow as well as coverage. A defense gets fewer yards thrown on it when opponents attempt fewer passes, and these totals don't adjust for opponent or volume. Compare yards per attempt and pass attempts faced for both teams to see whether the Browns' number comes from stopping throws or from seeing fewer of them.

VT: 93.4 rushing yards allowed per game to SMU's 125.9

Virginia Tech has allowed 93.4 rushing yards a game over 8 games, while SMU allows 125.9, so the Hokies have the better run-defense number in this matchup. The totals don't show the rushing attacks each team faced or how often opponents stuck with the run, so schedule could account for part of the gap. Eight games gives the number some weight, but it can move against a committed ground game. For this game, look at how much SMU relies on the run before giving Virginia Tech full credit.

ARI: 67.9% red-zone scoring allowed to SEA's 83.3%

ARI is at 67.9% red-zone scoring allowed over 8 games; SEA is at 83.3% over 8 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

NEB: 32:40 time of possession per game to ILL's 28:57

Nebraska has held the ball longer this season, up from 30:35 last season, while Illinois has dropped from 30:55. That suggests Nebraska wants to control the clock on the road and limit Illinois' chances, and 8 games make it more than a blip. Possession time also grows when a team is protecting a lead, so some of this may come from game script. If Nebraska controls the tempo, expect fewer possessions, which matters when thinking about the total and how much margin can build.

CHI: 2.75 sacks recorded per game to TB's 2

TB is at 2 sacks recorded per game over 8 games; CHI is at 2.75 over 8 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

KC: 96.3 rushing yards allowed per game to NYJ's 123.6

Kansas City has held opponents 27.3 rushing yards a game below what the Jets allow, and has done it in one fewer game, 7 against 8. A per-game rushing total depends on how many carries a defense faces, so opponents playing from behind can make it look better than the run defense really is. Check the Chiefs' yards per carry and how often teams have kept running on them before trusting the gap in this matchup.

CHI: 26.8 points per game to TB's 22.3

TB is at 22.3 points per game over 8 games; CHI is at 26.8 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season TB was at 22.4 over 17 games and CHI at 25.9 over 17 games.

SMU: 320.1 team passing yards per game to VT's 284.4

The SMU edge is the headline, but the bigger change is Virginia Tech, which has jumped from 166.3 passing yards a game last season to 284.4 over 8 games. SMU has climbed too, from 283.1, so this has the makings of a game played through the air on both sides. Virginia Tech's leap is the number more likely to cool, since it is such a sharp break from last season. Before leaning on a passing shootout, weigh how much trust that 8-game version of the Hokies has earned.

Dameon Pierce (RB) is on injured reserve for PHI

The Eagles placed Pierce (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday Reported Oct 28.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB) is on injured reserve for NYG

DET: 0.14 interceptions thrown per game to MIA's 0.71

DET is at 0.14 interceptions thrown per game over 7 games; MIA is at 0.71 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DET was at 0.47 over 17 games and MIA at 1.06 over 17 games.

CHI: 4.25 red-zone trips per game to TB's 3.25

TB is at 3.25 red-zone trips per game over 8 games; CHI is at 4.25 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season TB was at 2.94 over 17 games and CHI at 3.24 over 17 games.

Brashard Smith (RB) is on injured reserve for KC

The Chiefs placed Smith (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 24.

Josh Hayes (CB) is ir-r for TB

Hayes suffered a small setback in his recovery from a knee injury, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Reported Oct 29.

SEA: 5.28 yards per play to ARI's 4.7

Seattle has the edge, but both teams are well off last season, the Seahawks from 5.98 and the Cardinals from 5.18. Arizona at 4.7 over 8 games has had a hard time creating easy yards, and Seattle hasn't been the offense it was either. Eight games is a decent sample, though last season's numbers leave room for both to rise. When the favored side is also down, be careful about pricing it like last season's team.

Samson Ebukam (DE) is on injured reserve for ATL

Ebukam (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve by the Falcons on Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports. Reported Nov 4.

Andrei Iosivas (WR) is on injured reserve for CIN

Tyler Badie (RB) is on injured reserve for DEN

The Broncos placed Badie (thumb) on injured reserve Saturday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports. Reported Oct 24.

DAL: 0.25 fumbles lost per game to IND's 0.75

DAL is at 0.25 fumbles lost per game over 8 games; IND is at 0.75 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DAL was at 0.53 over 17 games and IND at 0.53 over 17 games.

LAR: 5.79 yards per play to WSH's 5.24

The Rams still have the better rate, but both offenses are down from last season, the Rams from 6.15 and Washington from 5.53. The last game pointed the other way, with Jayden Daniels and Washington at 6 plays of 20+ yards to the Rams' 2. That one game shouldn't outweigh 8 games of Rams production, though it does show Washington can hit big plays through the air and on the ground. Think of this as the Rams' steadier season against Washington's recent burst.

CIN: 5.97 yards per play to ATL's 5.41

Atlanta is right where it was last season, 5.41 now and 5.38 then, so the gap comes from Cincinnati's jump from 5.23. Burrow is spreading it around, with 6 plays of 20+ yards last game across Higgins, Chase and Gesicki, while Atlanta had 2, one of them a 76-yarder to Jahan Dotson. Seven games is enough to take the Bengals seriously, though some cooling is more likely from them than from the Falcons. Atlanta may need Bijan Robinson to control the game if it can't match that big-play pace.

Patrick Johnson (DE) is on injured reserve for LV

The Raiders placed Johnson (neck) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Nov 1.

Jaylin Noel (WR) is on injured reserve for HOU

Noel, who was placed on injured reserve earlier Wednesday, is expected to require surgery to address his toe injury and will miss the remainder of the season, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. Reported Oct 28.

SAS scored 116.9 points a game this season, SAC 109.3. 2026-27 regular season: SAC over 8 games, SAS over 8.

GB: 4.73 yards per play allowed to NE's 5.29

Green Bay gives up about half a yard less each snap than New England, 0.56 to be exact, over 8 games each. Because this is a per-play rate, it is harder for game script to inflate than a yardage total, which gives it more weight, though it has no opponent adjustment. Check the offences on each schedule, then use the gap as a starting point for how much room New England's offense should find here.

ARIZ: 1 turnover committed per game to TCU's 1.5

Arizona protects the ball a little better than TCU, and this gap looks like who these teams are: Arizona was also at 1 last season, and TCU was at 1.54. That two-season consistency makes the numbers more believable than most turnover stats. The gap per game is small, though, and one bad bounce can erase it on any given Saturday. Count it as a modest edge for Arizona in a close game, because a single turnover can swing the result either way.

Max Mitchell (OT) is on injured reserve for NYJ

The Jets placed Mitchell on injured reserve Tuesday with a concussion, so he won't be part of the offensive tackle group at Kansas City. The report doesn't name who takes his snaps. When you size up the Jets' protection for this game, look at the updated depth chart at tackle.

Davante Adams (WR) is on injured reserve for LAR

Head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Adams had successful surgery on his left hamstring, and the Rams are hopeful that the wide receiver will be able to return on the early side of his 6-to-10-week recovery timetable, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports. Reported Oct 28.

GB: 3.63 red-zone trips per game to NE's 2.75

GB is at 3.63 red-zone trips per game over 8 games; NE is at 2.75 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season GB was at 3.47 over 17 games and NE at 3.71 over 17 games.

CAR: 25.4 points per game to DEN's 21.5

DEN is at 21.5 points per game over 8 games; CAR is at 25.4 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DEN was at 23.6 over 17 games and CAR at 18.3 over 17 games.

ARI: 69.6 offensive plays per game to SEA's 63

ARI is at 69.6 offensive plays per game over 8 games; SEA is at 63 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season ARI was at 63.2 over 17 games and SEA at 59.7 over 17 games.

CHI: 35:27 time of possession per game to TB's 32:45

TB is at 32:45 time of possession per game over 8 games; CHI is at 35:27 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season TB was at 31:53 over 17 games and CHI at 30:59 over 17 games.

TCU: 1.38 takeaways per game to ARIZ's 0.88

TCU is forcing 1.38 takeaways a game over 8 games, while Arizona is at 0.88, so the Horned Frogs have created extra possessions more often. Takeaways swing on tipped balls, loose fumbles and opposing quarterback mistakes, which makes this number less stable than most defensive stats. It also doesn't show how careless TCU's opponents were. Treat the edge as a modest factor in this game, and avoid building a whole view of it around turnovers repeating.

NEB: 1.25 takeaways per game to ILL's 0.75

NEB is at 1.25 takeaways per game over 8 games; ILL is at 0.75 over 8 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

ATL: 5.21 yards per play allowed to CIN's 5.74

Atlanta has allowed 0.53 fewer yards a snap than Cincinnati, with 8 games behind its number and 7 behind the Bengals'. A per-play rate is less sensitive to game script than a yardage total, but these figures don't adjust for opponent. Before leaning on the gap, check whether either defense has had an unusually easy or hard run of offences.

CIN: 0.86 interceptions thrown per game to ATL's 1.38

CIN is at 0.86 interceptions thrown per game over 7 games; ATL is at 1.38 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season CIN was at 1 over 17 games and ATL at 0.47 over 17 games.

HOU: 19.9 first downs per game to LAC's 16.7

HOU is at 19.9 first downs per game over 7 games; LAC is at 16.7 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season HOU was at 19 over 17 games and LAC at 19.5 over 17 games.

GB: 271 team passing yards per game to NE's 244.1

GB is at 271 team passing yards per game over 8 games; NE is at 244.1 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season GB was at 212.8 over 17 games and NE at 250.5 over 17 games.

MIN won last season's series 3-1

Minnesota won three of four last season, but the average margin was only 4.5 a game. The record looks more one-sided than the scoring did. That makes the margin the better guide to this matchup, and Terrence Shannon Jr.'s questionable tag is the status to check.

TOR won last season's series 3-1

Toronto won last season's series 3-1 by 14 a game, and it did so across four meetings. That margin is large and the sample is small, so expect it to shrink. Scottie Barnes is questionable with a groin issue, which makes his status matter more than the old series in this first meeting.

ATL won last season's series 3-1

Atlanta took last season's series 3-1 and won by 11.8 a game across the four meetings, so Washington was well behind overall. Jalen Johnson and Anthony Davis are both questionable tonight, and either result could make last season's gap less useful. Wait on those reports before leaning on the history.

DAL: 0.63 interceptions thrown per game to IND's 1.13

DAL is at 0.63 interceptions thrown per game over 8 games; IND is at 1.13 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season DAL was at 0.71 over 17 games and IND at 0.82 over 17 games.

PHI: 0.25 fumbles lost per game to NYG's 0.71

NYG is at 0.71 fumbles lost per game over 7 games; PHI is at 0.25 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season NYG was at 0.41 over 17 games and PHI at 0.47 over 17 games.

JAX: 5.9 yards per play to BAL's 5.39

This flips last season, when Baltimore was at 5.92 and Jacksonville at 5.27. The Jaguars have gained on a typical play while the Ravens have dropped, and that has held for 8 and 9 games, so it isn't a one-week blip. Baltimore's history gives it the better case for a rebound, while Jacksonville has more to prove in holding this level. This is a good spot to ask whether the market is paying for last season's Ravens or this season's.

LV: 4 red-zone trips per game to SF's 3.14

LV is at 4 red-zone trips per game over 8 games; SF is at 3.14 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season LV was at 2.12 over 17 games and SF at 3.88 over 17 games.

TB: 4.82 yards per rush attempt to CHI's 4.21

TB is at 4.82 yards per rush attempt over 8 games; CHI is at 4.21 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season TB was at 4.05 over 17 games and CHI at 4.75 over 17 games.

TB: 168.6 rushing yards per game to CHI's 150.8

TB is at 168.6 rushing yards per game over 8 games; CHI is at 150.8 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season TB was at 114.5 over 17 games and CHI at 144.5 over 17 games.

IND: 131.8 rushing yards allowed per game to DAL's 152.8

Neither number comes with an opponent adjustment, and Indianapolis allows 21 fewer rushing yards a game than Dallas over 8 games each. Per-game rushing totals rise when opponents get ahead and keep handing off, so part of the Cowboys' 152.8 could be script instead of pure run defense. Yards per carry will show whether the gap is real, and that matters when thinking about how much either offense can lean on the run here.

NE: 54.2% red-zone scoring allowed to GB's 66.7%

When opponents reach the red zone, New England has held up better than Green Bay, a 12.5-point gap over 8 games each. Red-zone rates rest on a limited number of trips each game, so a few stops or scores can move them, and this gap is more likely to shift than a per-play rate. Use it as one input for scoring in this game, alongside how often each defense lets opponents get that close.

LAR: 4.93 yards per play allowed to WSH's 5.4

LAR is at 4.93 yards per play allowed over 8 games; WSH is at 5.4 over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

NYJ: 194 passing yards allowed per game to KC's 222.9

NYJ is at 194 passing yards allowed per game over 8 games; KC is at 222.9 over 7 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

ATL: 41.1% third downs allowed to CIN's 47.3%

CIN is at 47.3% third downs allowed over 7 games; ATL is at 41.1% over 8 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Nov 5.

NYG: 66.1 offensive plays per game to PHI's 60

NYG is at 66.1 offensive plays per game over 7 games; PHI is at 60 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season NYG was at 63.8 over 17 games and PHI at 59.4 over 17 games.

CHI: 5.36 yards per play to TB's 4.88

TB is at 4.88 yards per play over 8 games; CHI is at 5.36 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season TB was at 5.12 over 17 games and CHI at 5.71 over 17 games.

LAR: 6.54 yards per pass attempt to WSH's 5.7

LAR is at 6.54 yards per pass attempt over 8 games; WSH is at 5.7 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season LAR was at 7.24 over 17 games and WSH at 6.41 over 17 games.

TOR allowed 113.5 points a game this season, MIL 122.3. 2026-27 regular season: MIL over 8 games, TOR over 8.

TCU: 14.1 points allowed per game to ARIZ's 18.9

TCU is at 14.1 points allowed per game over 8 games; ARIZ is at 18.9 over 8 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season TCU was at 25.3 over 13 games and ARIZ at 19.3 over 13 games.

TCU: 31.1% third downs allowed to ARIZ's 38.3%

TCU has allowed conversions on 31.1% of third downs over 8 games, while Arizona is at 38.3%, so the Horned Frogs have been better at ending drives. The numbers don't account for the offenses faced or how many of those third downs were short, so schedule could explain part of the difference. Eight games makes this more meaningful than a hot streak. For this game, it is most useful as a guide to which offense may stay on the field longer, especially on third and short versus third and long.

SMU: 181.8 passing yards allowed per game to VT's 218

SMU has allowed 181.8 passing yards a game over 8 games, while Virginia Tech allows 218, giving the Mustangs the stingier pass defense on paper. Yardage alone can flatter a defense if it faced weak passing teams or opponents who preferred to run, and these totals don't separate those cases. Eight games is a fair sample, but a more capable passing attack could push the number up. In this matchup, weigh how much Virginia Tech wants to throw before trusting SMU's number at face value.

DaVon Hamilton (DT) is on injured reserve for JAX

Jacksonville placed Hamilton, a defensive tackle, on injured reserve Tuesday with a knee injury, so he won't play against Baltimore. The report doesn't name who fills in or how much he was playing. A missing interior lineman matters most against the run, so check who starts inside for the Jaguars when sizing up the Ravens' ground game.

Eric Murray (S) is on injured reserve for JAX

Jacksonville placed Murray, a safety, on injured reserve Tuesday with an elbow injury, so he is out for the Baltimore game. The report doesn't say who takes his snaps or how big his role was. Look for the Jaguars' updated depth at safety before judging how much the back end changes in this matchup.

GB (5-3) at NE (5-3)

The matching 5-3 records hide a small edge for New England, which is +22 to Green Bay's +7 and 3-0 at home. The Packers are 2-2 on the road and their margin is thin, so their record may be slightly generous. Three home games is a short sample, and that perfect mark is the number most likely to move. The standings call this even, while the margin and venue lean modestly to the Patriots, so judge the spread against that.

LV: 1.75 fourth-down attempts per game to SF's 1.14

LV is at 1.75 fourth-down attempts per game over 8 games; SF is at 1.14 over 7 games. Those are this season's games through Nov 5. Last season LV was at 1.88 over 17 games and SF at 1.29 over 17 games.

TCU: 113 rushing yards allowed per game to ARIZ's 135.8

TCU allows 113 rushing yards a game over 8 games, while Arizona allows 135.8, so the Horned Frogs have the firmer run defense in this matchup. The gap could be partly schedule or game script, since these totals don't show who each team faced or how often opponents kept running. It should hold reasonably well after 8 games, though one strong rushing team can move an average quickly. For this game, consider which offense can run enough to stay out of obvious passing downs.

Baltimore placed Loop, its kicker, on injured reserve Tuesday with a groin injury, so he is out against Jacksonville. The report doesn't name a replacement. Find out who is kicking before betting anything that depends on field goals or extra points, including kicker props and close spreads.

BOS won last season's series 2-1

Boston won last season's series 2-1, but the average margin was just 1 a game across three meetings. That's about as close as a series gets, so the record says little about who has the edge. Payton Pritchard, Moussa Diabate and Dennis Schroder are all questionable, and those reports should tell you more.

POR won last season's series 2-1

Portland won last season's series 2-1 by 7.3 a game, a decent margin from only three meetings. A sample that small can move a lot, and Portland is without Vit Krejci tonight. Use the history as light background and weigh the current injury report more heavily.

SEA lead the series with ARI since 2025

Seattle has won these meetings by pulling away. Arizona kept it tight at home in the first one, a 23-20 loss on Sep 25 last season, then gave up 44 in Seattle on Nov 9 and managed just 7 at home on Sep 20 this year. The last two games were one-way, so the close one is starting to look like the outlier, though three games is a small sample. This one is back in Seattle, where Arizona's 22 points still didn't make it competitive, so ask whether the Cardinals can keep pace once the Seahawks start scoring.

SEA is on a short week

Neither side gets much recovery here: Arizona has 5 days and Seattle has 4. The Seahawks have the shorter turnaround but stay home, while the Cardinals get slightly more time and spend part of it traveling. Those factors roughly offset, so the calendar gives neither team a clear edge. Injury reports for both teams will tell you more than the rest numbers.

Payton Pritchard is Questionable for BOS

Pritchard is questionable with a right eye abrasion, an unusual injury that carried over from the day before. Check the status close to tip, since Boston's guard minutes depend on it. Charlotte has two questionable players of its own, so this game's numbers could shift from both sides.

Terrence Shannon Jr. is Questionable for MIN

Shannon is questionable with a left hip contusion, the same tag as the report from the day before. A final status should tell you more than the listing does, so hold any view on Minnesota's wing minutes until it comes out.

Tyrese Proctor is Questionable for CLE

Proctor is questionable with a left ankle sprain, and the tag dates back to the day before. Cleveland has three players questionable and Nae'Qwan Tomlin already out, so judge its depth from the final report as a whole.

Jarrett Allen is Questionable for CLE

Allen is questionable with a right knee contusion, the same tag as the day before. Cleveland's frontcourt is already short, with Tomlin hurt and Khalifa Diop and Ernest Udeh, Jr. on G League listings. That makes Allen's status the one to wait for before forming a view of this game.

Moussa Diabate is Questionable for CHA

Diabate is questionable with right quadriceps tendinopathy, and the tag carried over from the day before. Tendinopathy is often an ongoing issue, so this could come up again. Charlotte also has Dennis Schroder questionable, so wait for both statuses before judging its rotation.

Peyton Watson is Questionable for CLE

Watson is questionable under right hamstring injury management, a label that points to the team managing the issue. The tag carried over from the day before. Cleveland also has Jarrett Allen and Tyrese Proctor questionable, so its rotation may look different once the final report comes out.

Jalen Johnson is Questionable for ATL

Johnson is questionable with a left ankle sprain, and the tag was already there the day before. Atlanta is also without Keshon Gilbert, and Washington has Anthony Davis on the same kind of ankle tag. Any number you see before these statuses settle may move, so check timing before acting on this game.

Dennis Schroder is Questionable for CHA

Schroder is questionable with left-side soreness, which the earlier report described as a thigh issue. Charlotte has Moussa Diabate on the same tag, and Boston has its own questionable guard in Payton Pritchard. Guard minutes on both sides may depend on the final reports.

Anthony Davis is Questionable for WAS

RayJ Dennis is Questionable for ATL

Dennis carries a questionable tag tied to a G League two-way listing, with no injury reported. That makes it a roster question, and Atlanta's report matters more at Jalen Johnson's spot.

Jalen Wilson is Questionable for ATL

Wilson is questionable on a G League two-way listing, with no injury reported. It's a roster designation, so Jalen Johnson's ankle remains the Atlanta status to follow.

Sandro Mamukelashvili is Questionable for LAL

Mamukelashvili is questionable with an illness, reported the same day as the game. Illness tags can change late, so check close to tip if you have a view on the Lakers' big-man minutes.
