Four Line Bets To Play <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Pittsburgh +1.5 (v Cincinnati)<\/a> The Steelers are 35-15 against the spread as an underdog of single digits under Mike Tomlin while laying teams that need to win like the Bengals has been highly profitable.<\/p>\n

Green Bay -10 (v Chicago)<\/a>
\nThe Bears are 10-23-2 against the spread in division matchups while the Packers are 19-11 ATS off a loss.<\/p>\n

Houston -1 (at Tennessee)<\/a>
\nThe Titans have covered just two of 16 games and even with the risk that the Texans will rest players, Tennessee have covered just two of eight against Houston and look in big strife again.<\/p>\n

Denver -10.5 (v Kansas City)<\/a>
\nSean Payton is 19-5 against the spread off a road loss while the Chiefs are resting a ton of starters including Patrick Mahomes.<\/p>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Under 41 LA Chargers-Las Vegas<\/a>
\nThe under is 62-31 when the Chargers are off a win so need to be with the under in this one.<\/p>\n

Over 57 Minnesota-Detroit<\/a>
\nThe over is an incredible 18-7 since 2003 when the total hits 57 or more so this is a game that screams shootout.<\/p>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
