ADVICE

Grab Chargers While Number Is Under 10

  • Bet the Chargers at -9 when value is under 10 because matchup and opponent injuries favor them.
  • Avoid taking the number at 10; the hosts recommend grabbing nine or nine-and-a-half instead.
INSIGHT

Favored Lions Over Rookie Road QB

  • The Lions project better as large home favorites because Jared Goff and Dan Campbell perform well in those spots.
  • The hosts distrust JJ McCarthy returning on the road after a long layoff against a weak Vikings run defense.
ADVICE

Take Texans Early At Slim Minus Number

  • Back the Texans at -1.5 to -2.5 as C.J. Stroud faces his sternest defensive test but the matchup favors Houston.
  • Grab early plus-one-and-a-half numbers if available; the line has been moving toward minus two or minus 2.5.
