Rotation #251

Jaguars -1.5 over Texans (win)

Jaguars/Texans Over 47.5 (loss)

Texans QB CJ Stroud has been outstanding this season and could be a rookie of the year candidate. Houston has a long way to go, but Stroud has proved he can be their top QB. The Jaguars lead Houston by a game in the AFC South. Jacksonville can get separation today with a road win, but it will take much work. The Jags are well-balanced, having good running backs, multiple options in the passing game, and a solid offensive line. Trevor Lawrence should move the ball well today. The Texans could have a better running game, but CJ Stroud can make tight throws to any receiver on the field. Both teams should do enough to send this game over the total, and the Jags should win on the road. The Jacksonville coaching staff is a year ahead of the Texans and has a better overall roster. Doug Pederson gets paid big money to win these types of divisional games. Take the Jaguars and the Over.

Rotation #255

Patriots -4 over Giants (loss)

The Giants are down to their 3rd string QB with Tommy DeVito. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will create a game plan to stop the run and make DeVito beat them with his arm. The Patriots have struggled since Tom Brady left for Tampa, but they still have a good football team on the defensive side. New England should dominate the line of scrimmage and unleash their front seven on the rookie quarterback. The Giants’ offensive line is the worst unit in the NFL and is in trouble today. Patriots QB Mac Jones will be a good enough game manager to get the road win. Take the Patriots.

Rotation #257-258

Panthers/Titans Under 36.5 (win)

Today’s game will be cloudy and windy, featuring two rookie quarterbacks. The Panthers rookie staff is trying to find a combination of players to help them win, but they have yet to win a road game. Today’s game will be their best chance. I don’t trust either quarterback to light up the scoreboard today. Neither offensive line is good, so I expect a sloppy game with many penalties that will march the team backward and move the clock forward. Both defenses should shine today. Take the Under.

Rotation #263

Rams -2.5 over Cardinals (win)

The Cardinals have Kyler Murray back at quarterback and James Conner back at running back, but they are still without Zach Ertz, and a few receivers are out today. I don’t know if Kyler Murray is back to complete game shape yet. The Rams know that another loss will shatter their playoff hopes. Matthew Stafford is a veteran QB who should take advantage of a thin Cardinals secondary at the cornerback position. The Rams’ offensive line should get pushed against a Cardinals defensive line with many vital injuries. Take the Rams.
