Rotation #307-308
Colts/Vikings Over 47.5 (win)
The general public is on the Vikings today. I was leaning that way, but I can’t get over how bad their pass defense is. The Colts don’t have many great receivers, but Matt Ryan should be able to pick apart the worst passing defense in the NFL. The Vikings should put up points against a Colts defense that lacks depth. Both teams have great special teams units when it comes to punt/kick returns. Look for both teams to create good field positions all day and for this to be a high-scoring game. Take the Over.

Rotation #305
Ravens +2.5 over Browns (loss)
Lamar Jackson is out again, so Tyler Huntley will be the quarterback for the Ravens. Huntley is a better passer, might be quicker than Jackson and will be a starting quarterback in the league next year. Baltimore should run the ball well with Gus Edwards and JK Dobbins. The Ravens should be able to move the ball well against Cleveland, as they have used a lot of linebackers this season. The Ravens’ defense should get to Browns QB Deshaun Watson. Baltimore’s special teams are the X-factor. Take the Ravens.
