These two primetime games are a reward for our penance on Thursday night. Two elite divisional matchups on Sunday and Monday plus a bunch of eyebrow-raising chaos bombs lingering in the early window.
The two non Chiefs-Bills games in the late window are extremely “meh” at first glance. But a crazy NFC West shootout and Carolina playing spoiler could really turn the afternoon window into a full day of calamity.
Last week felt like a C+ or B- drama week for the NFL. This one has the makings of some very bizarre twists and turns.

New York Giants
+5.5
The Giants are the most fun question in football right now — is this start legit or will they regress? Brian Daboll is universally beloved regardless, both by Giants fans and football fans in general. He’s so dang blue collar. The only concern is New York’s coming back from London off a massive win against a very dangerous offense. The Giants will muddle things up because they can’t win with lockdown defense, but it’s asking a LOT of this team to slow down Lamar Jackson. I think we see a ton of points here, assuming the forecast remains benign, especially with Marcus Williams now on IR for Baltimore. I’m picking the Ravens but if I were betting them I’d take the first half line instead with New York battling potential jet lag.
The pick: Ravens 35, Giants 28
Props, Best Bets: Over 45.5

The Andy Dalton Revenge Game!! Cincy is 31st in yards per play in the NFL this year, which would be shocking except the bigger stunner is the Rams ranking 32nd. Quite the precipitous fall for the reigning conference champs. These teams feel like traditional scorers, but both defenses are substantially better than the current iteration of the offenses. This game is an LSU FEST. Betting against Joe Burrow in Louisiana does not feel smart and I bet we see a sneaky amount of Burrow jerseys in the stands…
