Chargers -3- Wentz wasn't sharp last week in the first half against Oakland after testing positive for Covid and not likely practicing all week, the Raiders were lucky to beat the Colts. The Raiders defense is garbage and the Raider running game isn't strong enough to likely take advantage of the weak Charger run defense, the Raider offensive line has struggled all year. Ruggs gone and Waller hurt have limited the offense. It doesn't look like Waller will return, he is in a contract year.
Rams-49ers Under 44 - Divisional games tend to be lower scoring because of the familiarity between the teams. Rams offense hasn't been consistent since Woods got hurt and their running game is trash, which causes them to struggle in the red zone. Garrappollo isn't healthy and Lance sucks, the Rams defense should be able to limit the 49er running game and force them to throw. Both teams will likely be conservative offensively because of how big of a game it is for both.
Patriots -6.5 - The Patriots have been strong against mediocre and weak teams all year because they have been able to play with the lead and Jones hasn't had to open up the offense. Miami's offense is trash, they can't throw more than 10 yards down the field on a consistent basis. Patriots likely need to win to have any shot at the playoffs. The Dolphins defense is better against the pass than the run, the Patriots should be able to run here with their strong offensive line and running game.
Atlanta +4 -105 - Atlanta continues to play hard and they can knock the Saints out of the playoffs. Its a divisional and rivalry game so I expect Atlanta to play hard. Atlanta's run defense has been solid and the Saints passing game with Hill is limited.
Colts-Jaguars under 44 - The Colts strong running game let's them control possession and run clock when they play with the lead, which they should have for most of the game here. Jacksonville's offense is garbage and the Colts run defense is very strong. This is likely a must win game for the Colts. The Colts are usually very conservative offensively with the lead which again they should have most of the game here.
