The Steelers are an outstanding 35-13 against the spread as a single digit underdog under Mike Tomlin while the Ravens are 12-25 against the spread as a divisional home favourite.
Favourites off turning the ball over five or more times are a horrid 8-22-1 against the spread while the Titans have finally pulled the pin on Will Levis, upgrading to Mason Rudolph.
Dan Campbell’s Lions have not only won but covered their last nine when they are off a loss while Jared Goff is 14-4-1 against the spread in divisional games.
Miami cover at 65% when playing at home and are 30-16 against the spread against teams with a losing record.

The Eagles have won 11 straight but teams who have won at least 83% of games are 9-25-1 against the spread in division matchups in December/January.

Redzone Early Multi
Detroit -6.5/Tennessee +3.5/Washington +3.5 ($7.11)

The Lions and Titans are listed among the best bets of the week while the Commanders are the underdog of the week so can be taken getting the 3.5 points.

Redzone Late Multi
Miami -1/Buffalo -14/Las Vegas -1 ($6.90)

Miami are listed among this week’s best bets. New England cover at just 35.9% so will be with Buffalo. Mac Jones is an abhorrent 2-14 against the spread as an underdog of a touchdown or less so the Raiders have to be the play. 

Top TD Play
Jonnu Smith ($12 First, $3.05 Anytime)

Jonnu Smith has emerged as one of the best and most reliable tight ends in the NFL. It has seen him pull in five touchdown passes across the last five weeks. With 11-plus targets in three of the last four weeks, he will again be a central feature of the Dolphins offense. 

TD Multi
Ja’marr Chase/Bijan Robinson/James Conner/Jahmyr Gibbs ($5.05)

Chase has eight touchdowns across his last five games. Robinson has eight touchdowns in his last nine games. Conner has three TDs the last two weeks. Gibbs has been a machine this year with 14 touchdowns.

SGM of the Week
Jaylen Warren Over 30.5 Rush Yards/Justice Hill Over 15.5 Receiving Yards/Rashod Bateman Over 30.5 Receiving Yards ($7.25)

Warren has topped 40 rushing yards in six of his last eight. Hill has at least 14 receiving yards in six of his last eight. Bateman has hit 30-plus yards in four of his last five.
