Last week was another subpar week, as I went 6 of 15. The Sunday Night Game really hurt, as I went 0 for 4. Now overall I am 32-57-1.
*Note* NFL betting lines are subject to change after the publication of this piece.
NFL Betting: Rapid Fire Sunday 1 PM Games
Minnesota @ Baltimore
Passing Yards: Kirk Cousins vs Lamar Jackson (+30.5 Pass Yds) – Lamar Jackson
Coming out of the bye and with Rashod Bateman healthy, I see the Ravens passing attack to really start running smoothly and the bonus will be enough to beat out Cousins in this one.
Receiving Yards: Marquise Brown vs Mark Andrews (+12.5 Rec Yds) – Mark Andrews
This one is close for me but with the bonus, I believe Andrews will take this one. Andrews has had over 65 yards in four of the last five games.
Receptions: Adam Thielen (+0.5 Rec) vs Justin Jefferson – Justin Jefferson
Before the last game, Jefferson was leading by a good amount of receptions in each game. I think Week 8 was just a tough matchup for Jefferson, with Trevon Diggs covering. Jefferson will bounce back this week beating Thielen in this matchup.
Denver @ Dallas
Passing Yards: Dak Prescott vs Teddy Bridgewater (+15.5 Pass Yds) – Dak Prescott
Even though Dak is coming back from injury, the Cowboy’s passing game is just much better than Denver’s.
Rushing Yards: Ezekiel Elliott vs Javonte Williams (+36.5 Rush Yds) – Ezekiel Elliott
The Denver defense has been bad against the run. I see Zeke having a good game on the ground. Even with the big bonus, I don’t see Williams winning this one because of the split with Melvin Gordon.
Receiving Yards: Ceedee Lamb vs Amari Cooper (+7.5 Rec Yds) – Ceedee Lamb
Lamb has been the one in the past few games with the most yardage. He has three straight games of over 80 yards. Even with a bonus, Lamb wins this one.
Receptions: Dalton Schultz (+0.5 Rec) vs Courtland Sutton – Courtland Sutton
With the return of Jerry Jeudy, Sutton only had 2 receptions. Dalton Schultz has had steady receptions and with the small bonus, I will take him.
NFL Betting: Rapid Fire Sunday 4 PM Game
LA Chargers @ Philadelphia
Passing Yards: Justin Herbert vs Jalen Hurts (+60.5 Pass Yds) – Jalen Hurts
The Eagles have been in catch-up mode much of the year, and I see that happening in this game. The Bonus, plus needing to keep up in the actual game, will give Hurts the edge for me.
Receiving Yards: Dallas Goedert (+0.5 Rec Yds) vs Mike Williams– Dallas Goedert
This is a close one for me as Mike Williams is a big play receiver, and can always get a long catch that could win this. But Goedert has two straight games with over 70 yards, so I am going with Goedert in this matchup.
Receptions: Austin Ekeler (+0.5 Rec) vs Keenan Allen – Keenan Allen
Allen has really been active the past five games, averaging over 6 catches a game. Ekeler is always involved in the passing game but I think he will come up short here.
NFL Betting: Rapid Fire Sunday Night Game
Tennessee @ LA Rams
Passing Yards: Matt Stafford vs Ryan Tannehill (+30.5 Pass Yds) – Matt Stafford
Stafford has over 300 yards three out of the last four games. Tannehill has six straight games under 300 yards. I do not think the bonus is enough for Tannehill to beat Stafford here.
Rushing Yards: Darrell Henderson vs Adrian Peterson (+37.5 Rush Yds) – Adrian Peterson
We do not know how Peterson will be used by the Titans, but the huge bonus gives Peterson the edge for me. Henderson is getting anywhere from 40 to 90 yards a week, so Peterson would only need to get 30-45 rush yards for me to feel comfortable here.
Receiving Yards: A.J. Brown vs Julio Jones (+20.5 Rec Yards) –AJ Brown
Julio Jones has been out of the lineup because of his hamstring. AJ Brown has really been finding his stride with two straight 100-yard receiving games.
Receptions: Cooper Kupp vs Robert Woods (+2.5 Rec) – Cooper Kupp
Cooper Kupp has been the main target for Matt Stafford. Even though Robert Woods has the bonus, I will take Cupp. He leads the receptions for the last three weeks 26 to 11.
