Falcons-7: “The Dolphins are about to blow it up. Mike McDaniel feels like the walking dead, and Tua Tagovailoa may not be as long as Miami's QB1. They are coming off a demoralizing 31-6 loss to the Browns, where Tagovailoa recorded his second straight game with three interceptions. Those struggles likely won't subside against a Falcons defense that has allowed the fewest passing yards per game (141.2) and the second-fewest total yards per game (265.2) this season.” CBS Sports NFL Writer Tyler Sullivan on why does he like atlanta not only beat Miami, but also cover the touchdown spread.

49ers +1.5: “You saw how the Texans lost Seattle Seahawks Monday night? What a pathetic result of this insult. Seattle continued to give Houston chances to come back and win the game, but C.J. Stroud I just couldn't do anything. DeMeco Ryansas a head coach and former midfielder, I had to tear out my non-existent hair. The Texans are 2-4 ATS this season, while the 49ers are 4-3 ATS.

Pirates -4.5: “People don't think this is a good location for the Bucs for a couple of reasons. First, they play their second straight road game a short week after beating the Bucs. Lions on Monday evening. Secondly, they are beaten with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin And Bucky Irving among the notable figures ejected from the NFC South matchup.

They pulled off one of the most improbable victories in NFL history—they beat the Giants after trailing 19-0 in the fourth quarter—and when something like this happens, a team typically reacts in one of two ways: They go out and fall flat on their face in the next game, or they ride the wave of a crazy victory to another crazy victory.” – CBS Sports Writer NFL John Breech why does he like Denver beat Dallas at home, although the Cowboys keep it close thanks to their scoring attack.
