The host Cardinals left Buffalo with a loss after blowing a halftime lead. The biggest hurdle they face today is a 2-13 ATS mark in their last fifteen division games. With the Rams 13-2 outright in their last fifteen games in this series and 6-1 ATS in their previous seven games on the division road, look for them to improve to 6-1 ATS in the last seven games in this series today.

The Jets are 1-6 ATS post Monday. They have also been 1-6 ATS in Game Two of the season for the last seven years. On the opposite side of the field, the Titans folded like cheap lawn chairs in new head coach Brian Callahan’s debut at Chicago when they watched a 17-0 halftime lead dissipate to a 24-17 loss. Given Gang Green’s 1-6 ATS record in games after taking to the Monday night road, and the Titans’ 12-4 ATS dog log in home openers, including 7-1 ATS when taking fewer than five points, look for a Titans win.

NFL Game of the Week

The Darnold era now in full gear in the Twin Cities, it’s good to know that he is 10-7 ATS as a home dog, including 4-2 ATS in games with a total of 45 or more points. In addition, the host in this series is on 6-0 ATS while the Niners enter just 6-9 SU and 5-10 ATS in their last fifteen regular season battles with the NFC North. Finally, playing against the defending Super Bowl loser as a non-division road favorite of more than 3 points with a .700 or greater win percentage versus a .500 or greater foe if the Over/Under total is 45 or less is 10-1 ATS.

Cleveland is 10-1 outright against the AFC South and 9-1 SU after hosting an NFC opponent. On the other side of the field, the Jaguars are 0-3 SUATS the last three games against AFC foes and a dismal 4-5 SU and 1-8 ATS as a home favorite against winless foes. Remember, in their opening-week nightmare, the Browns surrendered only 265 yards to the Cowboys. Finally, NFL Game Two dog off SU loss as a favorite and the ATS loss was by seven or more points is 27-9-1 ATS
