Daily Picks

Jordan Love will have to carry much of the offensive load. I like his ability to find enough throws to keep this inside one possession while Green Bay makes Drake Maye work through longer drives. Godzilla will take the points in tough matchup.

Bolts ate a clown show.

Panthers are missing starting guard Damien Lewis, edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, linebacker Bobby Okereke and cornerback Will Lee III. That is trouble across several units, particularly for an offense trying to protect Bryce Young and a fiery defense.

Saints will create enough long-yardage situations to make Cleveland’s quarterback transition uncomfortable. Shough gives New Orleans a steadier passing foundation for this matchup, and I like the home offense to turn those into points.

Dallas is laying road points with a run defense that needs a missing-persons report. The Cowboys allow 152.8 rushing yards per game and let opponents convert 51.4 percent of their third downs. Both figures rank last in the league. Jonathan Taylor +

My case rests on Detroit’s offense controlling the assignment: run Gibbs, force Miami to commit help and let Goff attack the resulting space. I expect the Lions to finish enough drives to separate. At less than a touchdown, a bargain.

Kansas City has dropped two straight after a 5–0 start and just surrendered an 11-point fourth-quarter lead in Denver. Patrick Mahomes can win this game without clearing this number. Godzilla wants New York’s running game.

Daniels has 236 rushing yards and eight combined passing and rushing touchdowns without an interception. That second dimension gives Washington a way to extend possessions even when the receiving matchups are thin. Tams all that and a bag of chips.

Philadelphia’s offensive situation has become a weekly casting call. Joe Milton is preparing for his first NFL start. DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are out. That leaves a new starter trying to operate with a depleted receiving group.
