Episode notes
Fade Arizona When Injuries Bite
- Back the 49ers when they bounce back after a poor loss and match up well versus a weakened Cardinals roster.
- Trust Brock Purdy against Arizona because their pass rush and fourth-quarter play have faltered.
Use Home Dogs In Cold, Close Divisions
- Take the Browns plus points at home versus Baltimore when Cleveland controls the clock with a hot rookie back.
- Use the rest factor for road teams and Baltimore's weaker road defense to justify the points.
Bet Eagles In Cold-Weather Matchups
- Favor Philadelphia over Detroit in cold conditions because Philly limits turnovers and excels in the red zone.
- Expect Jared Goff’s passing to drop in cold and for Detroit’s injured line to struggle on the road.
