Episode notes
Rams Defense Versus Eagles Offense
- The Rams' pass rush and top scoring defense offset Stafford's high rating and the Eagles' limited chunk plays.
- Fewer than four 20+ yard plays for Philly indicates their offense isn't stretching defenses yet.
Pick The Over In Cowboys-Bears
- Take the over 50.5 in Cowboys-Bears because Dallas controls third down and Chicago produces many three-and-outs.
- Expect a Cowboys win in a high-scoring, late finish scenario (28-27 projection).
Ravens' Third-Down Advantage
- Baltimore's offense and home history make them a reliable favorite over the Lions on Monday Night.
- Teams that struggle on third down (Detroit at ~48%) get exposed by Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry's methodical drives.
