Minnesota Vikings (-175) at Los Angeles Rams (+150)

Will a short week combined with a long flight hurt the Minnesota Vikings as they head to LA to take on the Rams?

The Vikings, at 5-1, are coming off their first loss of the season, a last-second L to the mighty Lions.

The Rams, on the other hand, are 2-4 and coming off a win against the weak Raiders. It was a game in which QB Matthew Stafford managed only 154 yards passing.

LA is hoping to have wide receiver Cooper Kupp back in the lineup for this game, which should give them a boost. Maybe he can capitalize on the short turnaround for the Vikings’ D?

Running back Kyren Williams continues to carry the load while injuries continue to haunt the Rams. He scored another rushing TD (for the ninth game in a row) in the win.

With hundreds of bets available in a game full of question marks, the NFL odds for the Vikings vs. Rams game are wide open this Thursday night.

Kansas City Chiefs (-490) at Las Vegas Raiders (+355)

This AFC West game has one of the biggest spreads of the season.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the NFL’s only remaining unbeaten team, and they’re currently favored by 10 points over the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Chiefs haven’t been winning in spectacular fashion – unless you count the Super Bowl rematch just last weekend, where they dominated the 49ers. Is this a signal of the team finally getting back to its old dynasty form?

Even if the answer to that is “not quite yet”, the Raiders are looking especially vulnerable. They’ve lost 3 straight games, two of them by 19 and 16 points.

If betting fans feel that 10 points is too big a spread, given that Patrick Mahomes is having a below average season, consider the Chiefs’ defense, with 3 picks against Brock Purdy last week. They’ve also allowed over 20 points just once all season.

The current Over/Under of 42 points looks like a tempting Under, and we’ve got 200+ more bets on the Chiefs-Raiders game right here.

Buffalo Bills (-160) at Seattle Seahawks (+135)

In what could be a shootout and a playoff preview, the current Over/Under is a relatively modest 47.5 for this game against the Buffalo Bills and the Seattle Seahawks.

The Bills just added more receiving power for QB Josh Allen, with WR Amari Cooper joining the team just ahead of Week 7’s action. His first game last week saw him score a touchdown on 4 catches for 66 yards and he should see even more action in this matchup.

The Seahawks (4-3) are coming off a big win over the Atlanta Falcons in which they gave up only 14 points. Star running back Kenneth Walker III scored 2 TDs to add to his total of six for the season.

The X factor here could be the Seahawks’ top receiver DK Metcalf, who injured his knee in that same game. If he’s out it could hamper Seattle’s ability to keep up with Buffalo.

Philadelphia Eagles (+130) at Cincinnati Bengals (-150)

With a spread (2.5) of less than field goal, betting fans might be looking for many other ways to wager on the Eagles-Bengals game.

Touchdown props are just one example; for this matchup featuring Joe Burrow and Saquon Barkley, the Over/Under 6.5 pays +200 is you go with the over.

Bengals’ QB Burrow already has 14 touchdown passes (and one epic rushing TD) so far this season, while Eagles’ RB Barkley has 5 TDs of his own and is coming off a 176-yard rushing performance last weekend.

Cincy has won 3 of its last 4 games, but those W’s have come against the Panthers, Giants and Browns. Then again, two of their losses have come by a total of just 4 points against strong teams like the Chiefs and the Ravens.

Home field disadvantage might also be a factor too. The Bengals are 0-3 at home this year so far.

Philly, meanwhile, has also won 3 of its last 4 against lesser teams (Giants, Browns, Saints) so it may be tough to gauge their real strength.

This is looking like a close matchup with real star power on both sides – let’s go!

Dallas Cowboys (+210) at San Francisco 49ers (-250)

This rivalry had its glory days when both teams were powerhouses in the 80’s and 90’s, but the San Francisco 49ers have been the stronger team lately, and this season is no exception.

Although the Niners have been underwhelming this year, Dallas also has real reason to be concerned. Two of their 3 losses have been blowouts where they’ve allowed 44 or more points, and the last time these two met in 2023, the Niners won 42-10.

Some reasons for optimism for Cowboys fans: their odds should improve with the possible return of LB Micah Parsons and top cornerback DaRon Bland.

The Niners have been hit once again with an injury bug, so that could also move the NFL odds on some of the hundreds of bets for the 49ers-Cowboys game in Dallas’ favor. Star WR Brandon Aiyuk was injured in last weekend’s game and looks to be out for some time, and RB Christian McCaffrey is not expected back until Week 10.

With the current spread of 5.5 in favor of the Niners, the Cowboys could keep it close as WR CeeDee Lamb and QB Dak Prescott can still get hot at times. Keep tabs on the injury reports closer to game time to see who’s suiting up for both teams.
