Sunday could be an epic day for home fans (and those who bet on home teams) being extremely upset with the results.
Of the 11 games played Sunday, seven road teams are outright favorites, and there is reason to think at least a couple of the home-favored teams are giving away too many points.
Is “Road Warrior Sunday” coming? We’ll see.
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook
Seattle Seahawks (+340) at Dallas Cowboys (-450)
The Seahawks have struggled to score points, posting 20 or fewer in five of their last seven games and 13 or fewer in three of those. The Over/Under is high (47.5 points at -110 for both the Over and Under). The Cowboys can put up a lot of points, but may need to score more than 30 to top this number. Take Under 47.5 points (-110).
Indianapolis Colts (-120) at Tennessee Titans (+100)
The Titans are home underdogs despite being 4-1 off Broadway with their only ding being a 24-16 loss to the Ravens. With Jonathan Taylor out, the Colts lose a key piece of their offense and will struggle to make up for it. Take the Titans on the moneyline (+100).
Los Angeles Chargers (-275) at New England Patriots (+220)
The Chargers are solid road favorites (6 points at -110 for both teams). Few teams have been bigger disappointments than the Chargers, but the Patriots appear to be tanking for their next quarterback. New England has scored 17 points or fewer in nine of its last 10 games and has just 13 points combined in their its two. Take the Chargers and lay 6 points (-110).
Detroit Lions (-200) at New Orleans Saints (+165)
The Lions are rested, angry from their Thanksgiving Day dud, and solid road favorites (4 points at -110 for both teams). The Saints haven’t beaten a team with a winning record this season and that continues. Take the Lions and lay 4 points (-110).
Atlanta Falcons (-150) at New York Jets (+125)
The Over/Under is incredibly low (34 points at -110 for both). The Jets have scored just 37 points in their last four games, and the Falcons will struggle to move the ball through the air. It’s about who makes the least mistakes. Even if successful running, the clock is against the Over from the time it starts winding. Take Under 34 points (-110).
Arizona Cardinals (+200) at Pittsburgh Steelers (-250)
The Steelers keep winning, but they’re winning ugly. All of their wins have been one-score, which makes them being big favorites worth considering (5.5 points at -110 for both teams). I’m no fan of the Cardinals, but a 12-point deficit turns to five points with a garbage time touchdown late. Take the Cardinals plus 5.5 points (-110).
Miami Dolphins (-450) at Washington Commanders (+350)
The Dolphins are deservedly huge favorites (9.5 points at -110 for both teams). Five of the Dolphins last six wins have been by 11 points or more, and the Commanders defense has given up 76 points in its last two games. That’s a good combination for Miami. Take the Dolphins and lay 9.5 points (-110).
Denver Broncos (+155) at Houston Texans (-190)
The Texans are a great story and the Broncos have won five straight. The Over/Under is high (47.5 points at -110 for both). Don’t trust Russell Wilson to put up big points without a slew or turnovers, and both defenses have the ability to take over stretches of the game. Take Under 47.5 points (-110).
Carolina Panthers (+200) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-250)
The Buccaneers have lost six of their last seven but remain heavy favorites (5.5 points at -110 for both teams). Seven of Carolina’s last eight losses have come by seven points or more, and the Buccaneers have more talent on both sides of the ball. Take the Buccaneers and lay 5.5 points (-110).
Cleveland Browns (+150) at Los Angeles Rams (-185)
The Rams have struggled but are solid favorites (3.5 points at -110 for both teams). The Browns are the better team, but injuries have depleted their offense – scoring just 25 points in the last two games. I would avoid this game, but the Rams have enough offensive firepower to cover this spread if they don’t shoot themselves in the foot (again). Take the Rams and lay 3.5 points (-110).
San Francisco 49ers (-150) at Philadelphia Eagles (+125)
The Eagles are 10-1 and at home, yet are home underdogs (3 points at +100 49ers, -120 Eagles). Everybody else in the league has three or more losses. I believe the 49ers are the better team, but when you have a team that has only lost once all season at home, you take the points that are given to you. Take the Eagles plus 3 points (-120).
Kansas City Chiefs (-275) at Green Bay Packers (+220)
The Chiefs are strong road favorites at Lambeau Field (6 points at -110 for both teams). The Chiefs have been inconsistent, but it is December and Andy Reid teams win almost every December game, because they prepare for the late season like few teams and have the success rate to prove it. Take the Chiefs and lay 6 points (-110).
Cincinnati Bengals (+310) at Jacksonville Jaguars (-400)
The Jaguars are huge favorites, but the Over/Under remains low (38 points at -110 for both). Without Joe Burrow, the Bengals have struggled but still have enough weapons to make enough plays to get into scoring position. If the Jaguars score 27 points, the Bengals need to score only 12 to go over this number and they’re capable of it. Take Over 38 points (-110).
