Kudos to you if you didn\u2019t listen to our advice last week. The games we told you to avoid went 2-0, as the Los Angeles Chargers won outright on the road against the Chicago Bears as the Bears\u2019 kicking woes continued, and the Seattle Seahawks covered by a half-point on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. Hopefully, we won\u2019t lead you astray this week with our suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This line screams\ntrap game. Seattle opened as a 6.5-point favorite over Tampa Bay\naccording to the NFL\nbetting odds<\/a>, but this number has slowly fallen\nthroughout the week. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Seahawks have\nnot been great at home this year. Seattle is 2-2 in the Emerald City,\nand its two wins have each come by one point. This team was outplayed\nby Cincinnati and shouldn\u2019t have beat the Bengals in Week 1, and\nthe Seahawks needed a Greg Zuerlein field goal attempt to sail wide\nto squeak by the Rams in Week 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tampa Bay has proven\nit can win on the road. The Buccaneers beat the Rams in a shootout\nback in Week 4, and while Jameis Winston is about as turnover prone\nas they come, he has immensely talented receivers and can get them\nthe ball in good spots more often than not. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seattle doesn\u2019t\nhave the playmakers it used to on offense, leading to everything\nrelying on Russell Wilson. Wilson has posted some incredible numbers\nthis year, completing 68.4 percent of his passes and averaging 8.5\nYPA with 17 touchdowns and one interception, but his numbers dipped\ndramatically in his last home game. Tampa Bay has been excellent at\nstopping the run this year, allowing just 3.0 YPC, so the Bucs should\nmake Seattle one-dimensional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s hard to\njustify betting\non the Bills<\/a> when they are laying more than a\ntouchdown. Buffalo does not have a good offense. Sean McDermott has\ndone an excellent job creating plays given what he has to work with\nin terms of talent, but opponents are starting to challenge Josh\nAllen more and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through a year and a\nhalf, Allen has thrown as many touchdowns as interceptions. His\naccuracy has improved in his second seasons, but much of that is due\nto the quarterback continually throwing underneath routes. Allen is\ncompleting just over 60 percent of his passes and is averaging 6.7\nYPA, and that\u2019s not conducive to winning big. Buffalo\u2019s only wins\nby 10 points or more came against Miami and the New York Giants, and\nthe Bills failed to cover against both the Jets and the Bengals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dwayne Haskins\nappears set to make his first NFL start this weekend for Washington\nwith Case Keenum still in the NFL concussion protocol. Haskins has\nthrown four interceptions without a touchdown in limited action in\ntwo games, but rookie quarterbacks have a tendency to start hot.\nDaniel Jones and Sam Darnold both shined in their first games before\nbeing found out, and the same thing might happen with Haskins here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Washington has had\nan additional few days to prepare for Buffalo after being on Thursday\nNight Football last week. The Bills should win this game and cover a\nteaser, but outscoring Washington by 10 or more points may prove\ndifficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More people are\nhopping on the Houston bandwagon with each incredible Deshaun Watson\nperformance. Watson has been superhuman in turning the Texans into a\npotential AFC contender, but the loss of J.J. Watt for the rest of\nthe season will take a massive toll on this defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \nWithout Watt or Jadeveon Clowney, Houston\u2019s subpar secondary is set\nto be exposed. For years, the Texans relied on these two rush ends to\nget to the quarterback, but it will be hard for this team to get to\nthe passer without either one. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gardner Minshew II is still playing well as a rookie, and he has made the Jaguars a difficult team to get past. Jacksonville doesn\u2019t have a great home field advantage, but it\u2019s not easy playing on the road, and Houston is due to a letdown. The Jaguars have a great chance of pulling off the upset per the NFL moneyline odds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get the latest NFL football odds and information–follow BetOnline.ag on Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\nBUFFALO BILLS -9.5 VS WASHINGTON REDSKINS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
