Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Jaguars should ease to an easy win on the road in convincing fashion against one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Fournette will feast on the league's worst rushing defense with what will be another 100 rushing yard performance. It will wind up being one of the more lopsided games of the week.
Teddy Sevransky {Las Vegas**>>
Jaguars, who are two games behind division-leading Houston, shipped the disgruntled Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams for draft picks this week - finally granting the All-Pro corner back's trade request that came after a sideline argument with coach Doug Marrone and was followed by a questionable back injury that kept him sidelined for the team's last three games. Jacksonville still managed to put up a solid defensive effort last week as it entered the fourth quarter against New Orleans tied before dropping a 13-6 decision. Cincinnati is coming off a 23-17 setback at Baltimore, its fourth game this season in which it lost by less than a touchdown. Brandon Wilson got the Bengals off to a good start, returning the opening kickoff for a TD, but the team was unable to find the end zone again until late in the fourth quarter. Power Rating +1 Jaguars Prediction:Jacksonville -4
Los Angeles Rams vs. Atlanta Falcons
USA Today Sports Media Group >> Rams are the pick here, especially after adding Jalen Ramsey to the roster and the return of Gurley to the lineup. LA has a balanced offensive attack that should be able to exploit one of the worst pressure defenses in the NFL. Atlanta, meanwhile, can't seem to find much of a rhythm offensively. ABOUT THE RAMS (3-3): Los Angeles is coming off a dismal offensive effort against the 49ers as it gained just 157 total yards, including 48 through the air. But the Rams still rank sixth in the league in passing and 10th in scoring, and Jared Goff should be able to get the offense back on track against an Atlanta defense that has struggled. The Rams' defense has been decent but was burned through the air by Tampa Bay and gashed on the ground in Seattle. Power Rating +5 Rams Prediction: Los Angeles Rams -3
San Francisco 49ers vs. Washington Redskins
Pro Football Weekly's >>The San Francisco 49ers have dominated the number on the road against the Washington Redskins as of recent as they have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 meetings. The San Francisco 49ers have been the biggest surprise in football this season as they are 5-0 with an offense who ranks 3rd in points scored and a defense who ranks 2nd in points allowed. The Redskins were able to win their first game of the season against the worse team in football last week, but it was only a 1-point margin which leaves some concern. The 49ers should be able to destroy Case Keenum and an offense who ranks 30th in points scored as Nick Bosa, Dee Ford, and Fred Warner have essentially been unblockable this season.
DVAXN Group 25 NFL Football Outsiders Bobby Lancer Exclusive ratings> The Redskins may be coming off their first win of the season, they are going up against one of the best teams in the league. The 49ers defense will have a tremendous impact on this game, making it a one-sided affair pushing them easily to their sixth straight win of the season. It will be one of the easier games to pick this week. San Francisco has catapulted to the top of the league by absolutely destroying bad teams. The 49ers have defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns by an average of 22 points. The 49ers’ only close game was 24-20 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers when San Francisco turned the ball over five times. Even the Los Angeles Rams couldn’t challenge San Francisco when the division rivals met in Week 6. The 49ers won in L.A. 20-7, limiting Jared Goff to just 78 passing yards. The 49ers’ defense leads the NFC and only trails the Patriots overall in most major defensive categories. San Francisco ranks first in the conference yards allowed, points allowed and yards per play allowed. No NFL team has surrendered fewer passing yards than the 49ers. Power Rating +12 San Francisco Prediction: San Francisco -10
