****Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers
Both these teams are as close to full strength as possible and it will be one of their most anticipated matchups in the 21st century as both teams are finally looking solid at the same time. Both teams have shown the ability to score the ball but Cleveland’s biggest strength is their running attack, now led by Kareem Hunt for the foreseeable future. Cleveland has had an outstanding start to their season, however, I still think it’s too early to determine if the Browns are legitimate this season as despite having an outstanding offense, their defense has struggled and the teams they’ve beaten during their winning streak are currently have a combined record of 7-12-1.
Pittsburgh is dangerous on both sides of the football as they have a solid passing that should have plenty of success against Cleveland’s 30th ranked pass defense and a defense, that despite giving big plays, is ranked 3rd in the NFL in total yards allowed per game.Pittsburgh has completely eliminated the rushing attack against their defense with solid running teams like the Giants (before Saquon’s injury), Broncos, and Texans on their schedule and pretty good rushing attacks. The Steelers are 3-0 this season at home and they have the ability to keep teams off the board more than Cleveland does. Go with Pittsburgh to remain undefeated and eat the 3.5 points as this could get ugly and be a double-digit victory.
These two teams have never met with a higher combined winning percentage and there’s still some bad blood left over from last year’s fight between Myles Garrett and Mason Rudolph. The Browns haven’t won on the road in Heinz Field since 2003, so this game is going to be a good barometer for Cleveland. On the other hand, the Steelers haven’t been 4-0 since 1979 -- a season which ended in a Super Bowl win. Rookie Chase Claypool has been a source of big plays for the Steelers’ offense, which has run like a well-oiled machine with Roethlisberger back under center.
Cleveland comes into this game with injuries in the secondary and along the offensive line. That’s not going to be good news for their chances here. Take Pittsburgh to cover the spread at home in this AFC North showdown on Sunday.For Cleveland, in addition to Mayfield, safeties Ronnie Harrison (concussion) and Karl Joseph (hamstring) and receiver Jarvis Landry (hips/ribs) were out Wednesday, although Stefanski said he expects Landry to return to practice this week. Running back Kareem Hunt (thigh), who has been carrying the load with Nick Chubb hurt, was limited Wednesday.Cleveland has struggled ATS on the road and as I think we’re going to see Cleveland play more like the team that lost on the road to Baltimore by a 38-6 margin to start the season, I think Pittsburgh does enough to cover this home spread.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Detroit Lions
The Jaguars have fallen in three consecutive games against opponents with losing records. That doesn’t bode well for them against a Lions team with a coach fighting for his job. For all of the defensive problems for the Lions, they’ve actually done a pretty good job of defending on the backend of their defense. That’s a huge problem for a Jaguars offense heavily dependent on Minshew’s arm to move the chains.
Even with Robinson in the backfield, the Jaguars haven’t shown the willingness to completely commit to the ground on most occasions. A big reason for that is falling behind early in games and needing to throw to play catch-up. However, Robinson has also proven himself as a productive pass-catcher out of the backfield, but the Jaguars aren’t creatively finding ways to get the ball into the hands of their playmakers.
Stafford will finally have the big day he’s been searching for all season against a banged-up Jaguars defense allowing 416.8 yards per game on average. I’m laying the points and rolling with the Lions on Sunday.
Take the Lions here giving up the points. As mentioned, the Lions are a better team than their record indicates. They have been most vulnerable to the run this year and that has been their defensive downfall. Against New Orleans, they gave up 164 yards on the ground and in a loss to the Packers, they allowed Aaron Jones to run for 168n yards himself. They have also struggled in the red zone. With a week off to lick their wounds and watch a lot of film, the Lions should be able to solve the Jags lackluster defense.
Look for a lot of points, with the Lions prevailing and covering. I would normally be tempted by a home dog, but the Jaguars just can’t put a complete game together right now, and Jacksonville’s had issues keeping points off of the board on the other end, as they’ve allowed 30 or more points in each of the four games during this losing streak. The Lions may only be 1-3, but they almost hung 30 on the Saints who have a pretty good defense in their own right, and have an offense that can score in bunches when it’s clicking. It seems like everyone is on the Lions, which can seem a bit scary.
Its hard to trust the Detroit Lions as a road favorite, however, Jacksonville is one of the worst teams in the NFL and despite their shocking season opening win against Indianapolis, the Jaguars have struggle as of late, losing their last three games to Houston, Cincinnati, & Miami by an average of 14.0 ppg. Jacksonville has struggled defensively this season, especially against opposing passing attacks and between that I think Matthew Stafford will have a big day and that Detroit did recently pick up an impressive win on the road against Arizona, I think the Lions do enough in this one to cover this spread.
STAT'S>> Detroit is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games overall while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record. Jacksonville is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games as an underdog. The favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these two teams.

Denver Broncos at New England Patriots
I would wait and let this line build. With Newton expected to play, this line should move another point or two. Newton is a big addition, but Luck is as well. He's not Newton but he's so much better than Driskel and Rypien. He'll allow the running game to improve, because teams didn't respect the passing game. They get back Phillip Lindsay and should pound away at New England run defense that is just 18th n the league. That will open up holes for rookie Brett Rypien to hit some big plays down the field.Even if Gordon doesn't play (the line will move again), Lindsay is a capable back. Fant, Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler are enough to put pressure on a secondary that should be rusty (even Gilmore if he plays). New England should win this game, but the Broncos will cover after a long rest. The Patriots are just not the same team without Tom Brady under center. They do not have the killer instinct right now, and that should allow the Broncos to stay in this game. He had a good first start against the Jets and should not have butterflies coming into this one. The Pats have turned into a running team, and the Broncos have been solid against the run so far. New England has played far better at home than on the road, but I still feel that the Broncos have the running game and the defense to keep this one close.
