Over 52.5 points in Lions vs. Buccaneers (-110)
These two teams were top four in the NFL in scoring last season and they were both top six in scoring entering Week 7, with Detroit averaging 31.8 points per game and Tampa Bay averaging 27.5 points per game despite an injury-ravaged season. The Buccaneers are hopeful that Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka (both battling hamstring injuries) will be able to play tonight and that certainly lends itself well to scoring. The Lions and Bucs rank 20th and 22nd in the NFL in scoring defense so far and the model predicts that the Over hits in 58% of simulations. Back the Over at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
Seahawks -3.5 vs. Texans (-105)
“The Texans looked fantastic in their two games before the bye, but both came against broken offenses that couldn’t move the ball. The Seahawks have been anything but, ranking first in yards per play with an elite passing attack that has a chance to beat Houston’s pass defense in a strength vs. strength matchup,” CBS Sports Gambling and Fantasy editor R.J. White said. “The major edge is on the other side of the ball, as the Seahawks also have an elite defense while the Texans offense looked awful prior to its uncompetitive matchups.” Back the Seahawks at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
Mariners money line vs. Blue Jays (+110)
“Recency bias can be hard to overlook in a crucial game seven to decide who goes to the World Series. The Toronto Blue Jays have captured that with winning three out of the past four games over Seattle. In fact they had game five in their grasp as well before a five run eighth inning from the Mariners,” SportsLine handicapper Zack Cimini said. “The turn of events was sparked in game three by Shane Bieber but look for this Mariners team to respond as they did in the ALDS against Detroit in game five. Seattle heads to the World Series.” Back the Mariners at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
