The Week Ahead in NFL Matchups
Todd Bowles has historically had success against Jalen Hurts, but the Eagles have a good chance of running over the injury-ridden Bucs defensive line. Despite the Bucs’ reputation for a strong run defense, the Eagles may find success on the ground and in the trenches, especially against the Bucs’ vulnerable guards and rookie center.
Saints at Falcons (-2.5): The Saints have looked stronger than the Falcons recently, making them a favorable pick in this matchup. Despite previous results, the Saints are expected to outperform the Falcons.
Steelers (-1.5) at Colts: The Steelers’ defense has been stellar this season, giving them an edge against the struggling Colts. With an average of only 8.7 points allowed per game, the Steelers are favored to come out on top.
Jaguars at Texans (-6.5): The Jaguars are facing challenges, particularly with Trevor Lawrence’s performance, making the Texans a strong pick to win. Doug Pederson’s job might be at risk, and the Jaguars are struggling to find their footing this season.
• Picks against the spread: Vikings (+3), Bengals (-4), Rams (+3), Commanders (+3.5), Bills (+2.5), Lions (-3.5).
