Choices for the games

Ravens versus buccaneers

Raven -3.5.

Eric Moody: Baltimore has been solid as a road favorite, covering the spread in each of the past four games. The Ravens offense, powered by Lamar Jackson and a dominant rushing attack, leads the NFL in rushing yards per game. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay’s defense has struggled allowing the seventh-most yards per game and has consistently fallen short on third downs – an area where Baltimore thrives. While the Buccaneers have exceeded expectations so far this season, the Ravens are on a four-game winning streak and have one of the most efficient offenses in the league. Baltimore is well positioned to cover the spread, even in a challenging road game.

Mayfield over 1.5 passing touchdowns.

Moody: The Ravens’ secondary was a weakness and opponents took full advantage of it. Mayfield is in a great position to do the same, especially with one of the best wide receiver duos in the league in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. The Ravens defense has allowed the fourth-most receiving yards per game to wide receivers and Mayfield has passed for passing touchdowns in four of his six games this season. Baltimore’s defense has also allowed 1.8 passing touchdowns per game to quarterbacks, making this bet even more attractive.

More than 49.5 points.

Moody: It’s a big number for this matchup, but both the Ravens and Buccaneers are offensive juggernauts and rank in the top five for points scored per game. Baltimore has hit the over in five of the past six games, while Tampa Bay has done the same in five of the past seven. Jackson and Mayfield will be busy Monday night.

Chargers vs. Cardinals

Harrison Jr. 80-plus receiving yards (+250)

Seth Walder: This is a narrow value for me, but my alternate receiving yards model makes the fair price here +216. The core of the model, and the argument for the bet, is that not all receiver distance distributions are the same. And a key factor in this case is the type of routes Harrison runs: 47% of his routes are vertical routes, the seventh-highest rate among eligible wide receivers. At the same time, we can assume that Harrison’s median line (49.5) is efficient and that he can have value at 80-plus receiving yards because we capitalize on the extra variance receivers get from running deep routes.
