This is a 4* play on the Vikings.

The Vikings are 2-1 with their only loss coming on the road at Philadelphia, and they head to London to take on a Saints team that has lost back to back games. The Saints are banged up, with both their starting QB and their top WR for this game. Alvin Kamara hasn't been healthy for a long time, and he's only run for 100 yards in two games this season. It should come as no surprise that he's also listed as questionable. This looks like a tough spot for the Saints facing a mostly healthy Vikings team with all the weapons they have on offense. The Saints are 4-10 ATS versus a team with a winning record. Andy Dalton's last start came in a 31-17 loss to the Vikings, and the threw for 325 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs on 33-of-48 passing in that game.

This is a 4* play on Dallas.

The Cowboys will have Cooper Rush under center again in Week 4, and so far he's getting the job done filling in for Dak Prescott. The Cowboys host Washington, who they owned last season. The Cowboys are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 divisional games, and they are 6-0 ATS in their last six versus a team with a losing record. Carson Wentz was sacked nine times in last week's loss to Philly, and that doesn't bode well against a Dallas defense that has terrorized opposing QBs this season. The Commanders are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS loss, and they have failed to cover in six of their last eight versus the NFC East.

This is a 4* play on INDY.

The Titans held on for a 24-22 win over the Raiders last week, despite fewer total yards and fewer first downs. It wasn't a particularly impressive win against another winless team, and once again Derrick Henry looked like a shell of his former self. Henry is averaging just 3.6 yards per carry, and he hasn't ran for 100 yards in any of his three starts. As bad as the Colts looked in the first two weeks, they are coming off a win over the Chiefs and sit at 1-1-1 overall this season. This is a revenge spot for Indy after losing both games against the Titans last year. Jonathan Taylor should go off here against a Titans defense that ranks 27th in rushing defense. I'll take the home team in this divisional rivalry game.

This is a free play on the Orioles.

The Blue Jays have clinched a Wild Card spot, and the Orioles have been eliminated. Game 1 in Baltimore won't have any playoff implications, but it's a chance for some players to finish strong and pad their stats at the end of the year.

Perhaps nobody has more to gain than Dean Kremer, who has had a solid season for the Orioles and will make his final start. His last home start was a complete game shutout win over Houston. He signed a one year contract with Baltimore for just 700K, and he could be in for a big pay day in the off-season.

Jose Berrios will go for the Blue Jays, and he's always been a Jeckyll and Hyde picher (home/away). He's 7-2 with a 4.25 ERA in Toronto, and 4-5 with a 6.75 ERA on the road.

The Orioles should be a favorite in this game.

This is a 2* play on LAR.

Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco coaching staff made a mistake naming Trey Lance the starter in the offseason, and while they are fortunate they still have Jimmy G, it might take a while for him to get up to speed. He threw for 211 yards with a TD and an INT on 18-of-29 passing in a loss to the Broncos last Sunday. He threw for 232 yards, 2 TDs and an INT on 16-of-30 passing in a 20-17 loss to the Rams in last year's playoffs. San Francisco blew a 10 point lead in the fourth quarter of that game. It wasn't the first time that Shanahan blew a double digit lead in the playoffs, he's done it twice in the Super Bowl versus the Chiefs and the Patriots. The Rams should have an edge with Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp. The favorite has failed to cover in seven straight meetings between these two teams, and I think the bookmakers made an error listing San Francisco as the favorite for this game.
