Raiders @ Broncos (-9.5)

The Raiders defense have played a wonderful game, but it's still not enough. This offense is so devoid of nuance or complexity that the Broncos defense has sometimes reacted way too fast for any of their plays to develop.

Without Jackson-Powers along that offensive line, the Raiders are unable to hold up in pass protection against the vaunted Bronco front.

Denver trying to start their first drive with three straight runs tells you all you need to know about the Broncos state of mind in this game (at least on offense). Well...that and all the mistakes they're making should tell you all you ned to know...

Seeing the Raiders have to blow multiple timeouts to try and organize amongst themselves offensively is worrying. Las Vegas is not a serious team on offense.

Falcons vs. Colts (-6.5) [Berlin]

This Falcons defense keeps changing up the coverage schemes post-snap and it's confusing Daniel Jones and the Colts.

Sauce Gardner is presenting as a liability in coverage once more despite being on a different team.

DeForest Buckner's presence is missed, at least in the run game.

The penalties and slow play from Daniel Jones is dissapointing. It seems like Raheem Morris better prepared his team than Shane Steichen.

The biggest issue with the Colts is that their passing game has no teeth. I'm not sure what the Falcons are doing here, but their coverage schemes have virtually defanged this Indianapolis air attack. It seems almost all positive production in the third and early fourth quarters for the Colts came courtesy of the ground game and on throws to the flat.

Daniel Jones holding the ball longer than expected in the pocket is a dangerous proposition. Atlanta has sacked him at least six times today on such plays.

Tyler Warren with two clutch catches late in the game to help the Colts nail the win here.

Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren are blue-chip players for the Colts. The jury remains out for Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, and Michael Pittman.

Patriots @ Buccaneers (-2.5)

This Patriots defense is quite underrated. They seem to be playing very well against the Buccaneers short game - Tampa's runs and screens have been rendered ineffective so far. It's clear Mike Vrabel coached them up fairly well.

Drake Maye has been sensational today. Most notably, he's willing to throw the ball short against this Todd Bowles defense. Credit to Josh McDaniels too, as he's scheming these short plays in addition to route trees on offense to try and give the skill players an edge against man coverage. Against a Tampa team that doesn't have much of a pass rush, this New England.

The entire coaching staff for the Patriots can be considered elite. They put on a master class today.

Also one more shout-out to Drake Maye for some of the sacks he was able to avoid despite defenders having made contact with him in the pocket.

The Buccaneers are a big-play offense. Take away Baker's best weapons in the deep game and this offense seems unable to adapt. Even their attempts to incorporate short throws into the playbook seem half-hearted considering New England was adequately defending those plays.

One more note here was that New England was able to play well despite the humidity.

Ravens @ Vikings (+4.5)

Are the Vikings winning with McCarthy or in spite of McCarthy? It can be difficult to tell.

Never mind, the Vikings are definitely losing because McCarthy is just not playing well.

Rams @ 49ers (+4.5)

The Rams are moving the ball at will against this 49er defense. Not having any of your star players while your high-level opponent plays at full strength...it's a recipe for disaster.
