Last week was a better week and first at 50%, as I went 8 of 16. The Sunday Night Game was good for me, as I went 2 out of 3. Now overall I am 45-62-1.
*Note* NFL betting lines are subject to change after the publication of this piece.
NFL Betting: Rapid Fire Sunday 1 PM Games
Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
Passing Yards: Aaron Rodgers vs Kirk Cousins (+3.5 Pass Yds) – Aaron Rodgers
GB has the better defense, so I see Rodgers being able to pass the ball more effectively.
Rushing Yards: Dalvin Cook vs AJ Dillon (+2.5 Rush Yds) – Dalvin Cook
Cook has over 90 rush yards three out of four last games. I feel more confident in Cook than Dillon even with the bonus.
Receiving Yards: Davante Adams vs Justin Jefferson (+22.5 Rec Yds) – Davante Adams
The GB pass defense has played really well lately. I can see Adams having a big game against the Vikings who are middle of the pack in pass defense.
Receptions: Adam Thielen vs Randall Cobb (+1.5 Rec) – Adam Thielen
Thielen has over 7 targets the last four games and is way more involved than Cobb even with the bonus.
Indianapolis Colts @ Buffalo Bills
Passing Yards: Josh Allen vs Carson Wentz (+63.5 Pass Yds) – Carson Wentz
The Bills are the better team and have a top-3 rush defense. The Colts will most likely have to pass more and the bonus for Wentz is too much to pass up.
Receiving Yards: Stefon Diggs vs Cole Beasley (+18.5 Rec Yds) – Stefon Diggs
After slow start for Diggs this year, he has started to come on and has over 80 receiving stats three out of the last four games.
Receptions: Michael Pittman vs Emmanuel Sanders (+1.5 Rec) – Michael Pittman
Sanders only has 14 catches in the last five games, so give me Pittman in this one.
NFL Betting: Rapid Fire Sunday 4 PM Game
Dallas Cowboys @ Kansas City Chiefs
Passing Yards: Patrick Mahomes vs Dak Prescott (+15.5 Pass Yds) – Patrick Mahomes
Dak Prescott has the bonus but the Cowboys are a more balanced offense. I see the Chiefs having to pass the ball more.
Rushing Yards: Ezekiel Elliott vs Tony Pollard (+29.5 Rush Yds) – Ezekiel Elliott
Pollard has been getting fewer carries lately and I see Elliott getting a big workload so the Cowboys can keep the Chief’s offense off the field.
Receiving Yards: Ceedee Lamb vs Michael Gallup (+24.5 Rec Yds) – Ceedee Lamb
Lamb has over 90 receiving yards in three of the last four games. With Gallup just coming back I think the chemistry is still being worked on with Dak.
Receptions: Tyreek Hill (+0.5 Rec) vs Travis Kelce – Travis Kelce
I see Diggs locking onto Hill so I think Kelce will see more opportunities in the middle of the field.
NFL Betting: Rapid Fire Sunday Night Game
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Las Angeles Chargers
Receiving Yards: Diontae Johnson vs Mike Williams (+5.5 Rec Yds) – Diontae Johnson
Mike Williams has been banged up and not producing, while Johnson is the go to receiver for Steelers with he short passing game.
Receptions: Keenan Allen vs Austin Ekeler (+2.5 Rec) – Austin Ekeler
The Steelers are top-10 in pass defense so I see a lot of dump-off type passes for Ekeler in this game.
Receptions: Najee Harris (+0.5 Rec) vs Chase Claypool – Najee Harris
Najee Harris has been the king of dump-off passes this season and there’s no reason for that to change in this game.
Receptions: Jared Cook (+0.5 Rec) vs Pat Freiermuth – Pat Freiermuth
Freiermuth has had at least 6 targets in the last four games and is gaining confidence in this offense.
