THE BEST GAMES TO BET
BRONCOS vs. JETS in LONDON
9:30 a.m., Broncos by 7, 43
HANK’S HONEYS: The Jets have allowed not less than 27 factors in each sport, giving Bo Nix an opportunity to construct on his robust efficiency within the Broncos’ upset over the Eagles final week, even moreso contemplating that that Jets can’t cease the run. With that sort of palate to work with, Sean Payton goes to have enjoyable together with his X’s and O’s. It’s a robust journey spot for Denver, on the highway for the fourth sport. However Payton has turned this right into a two-week tour for his crew and he’s 3-0 when he’s accomplished that, together with final 12 months towards the Jets.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Broncos and the below.
PATRIOTS at SAINTS
1 p.m., Pats by 3 ½, 46
HANK’S HONEYS: Mike Vrabel’s affect on the Patriots is turning into extra evident awhile QB Drake Maye retains getting extra up to the mark with Josh McDaniels. He’s been pondering and seeing the sport very effectively and it’s ignited the downfield passing sport. The Saints have been outplayed by the Giants beside the 5 turnovers, averaging simply 4 yards per play exterior of Spencer Rattler’s 87-yard strike to Rashid Shaheed. New England has gained and lined each highway video games, together with a rout of the Panthers, a similarly-structured crew to the Saints.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Patriots and the below.
BROWNS at STEELERS
1 p.m., Steelers by 5 ½, 38
HANK’S HONEYS: The Steelers have the within monitor on the wacky AFC North but it surely’s not as if they’re miles forward of their rivals, notably when they’re on the improper finish of a very powerful matchup on this sport. The mixture of Aaron Rodgers’ lack of mobility and Pittsburgh’s poor line play is a legal responsibility that Myles Garrett and his associates can exploit. The schedule does favor the Steelers. They are going to be well-rested coming off a bye whereas the Browns play a 3rd straight sport away from Cleveland, together with final week in London. However in what ought to be a low-scoring sport, the road is a tad too bold.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Browns and the below.
SEAHAWKS at JAGUARS
1 p.m., Seahawks by 1 ½, 46 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: The Jaguars are coming off their greatest win within the Trevor Lawrence period in inconceivable come-from-behind trend towards the Chiefs on Monday Night time Soccer. If there was ever a letdown spot, that is it. The Jaguars are on a brief week and might be heading off to their conventional second dwelling in London whereas Seattle wants a win after blowing final week’s sport to the Bucs. Regardless of his late INT final week, Sam Darnold has been on a tear. The Seahawks piled up 463 yards towards Tampa Bay and have been 4-for-4 within the crimson zone. They’re additionally glorious defending the run, the important thing to the Jags’ assault.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Seahawks and the below.
RAMS at RAVENS
1 p.m., Rams by 7 ½, 44 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: The general public money is everywhere in the Rams however we’re not able to bury the Ravens but, not less than relating to getting greater than a landing. Sure, Baltimore’s protection has been getting shredded however there’s received to be quite a lot of satisfaction left in that locker room and now we have a tough time believing that issues will spiral fully uncontrolled. Cooper Rush isn’t as dangerous as he seemed towards the Texans when he threw three INTs and he’ll look to get proper towards a Rams D that has allowed over 26 factors in its final three video games. John Harbaugh will scheme methods to maintain this one from turning into a blowout.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Ravens and the over.
TITANS at RAIDERS
4:05 p.m., Raiders by 5 ½, 41
HANK’S HONEYS: Does anybody actually belief the Raiders to cowl this many factors? They’ve a league-worst 1-4 report ATS, failing to impress in any class. With Geno Smith throwing picks left and proper, they’ve been placing their opponents in great discipline place. The one factor Tennessee can do is get after the QB with Jeffery Simmons so we all know Geno goes to be placing a number of balls up for grabs. Many thought {that a} fade-the-Titans would show worthwhile however they haven’t been whole ATS doormats with a 2-3 report, together with final week’s upset of the Cardinals.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Titans and the over.
49ERS at BUCS
4:25 p.m., Bucs by 3, 47 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: It’s laborious to wager towards Baker Mayfield, who retains pulling wins out of a hat however it’s a must to marvel when the magic runs out. The issue is Tampa Bay’s secondary. Kyle Shanahan has been getting some very environment friendly QB play out of Mac Jones and this is a chance for him to scheme the heck out of the Bus. Todd Bowles lives and dies with the blitz however that has all the time been a dangerous proposition towards Shanahan-coached groups.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: 49ers and the over.
BENGALS at PACKERS
4:25 p.m., Packers by 14 ½, 44 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: Joe Flacco will get one other crack on the Packers in a Bengals uniform with an upgraded receiving corps over what he had with the Browns, a 13-10 upset winner over the Pack in Week 3. We predict he will get the ball within the arms of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to get inside this greatest variety of the NFL season. The Packers might be well-rested off their bye and they need to reward survivor pool backers with a W. The query is whether or not they take the Bengals critically sufficient
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Bengals and the over.
LIONS at CHIEFS
8:20 p.m., Chiefs by 1 ½, 50
HANK’S HONEYS: We predict we’ve seen sufficient of the Chiefs to know they’re not among the many elite of the NFL. And as for the Lions profitable in Kansas Metropolis, we noticed that occur on opening evening final 12 months. The Chiefs are nonetheless favored due to one man, Patrick Mahomes. However whereas the Okay.C. offense is starting to indicate indicators of life (wager the over), we don’t suppose his undermanned receiving corps can do sufficient to maintain up with essentially the most explosively balanced offense within the league. Dan Campbell is 11-2 ATS when his Lions are canine. Once they rout a crew, they normally do it once more the following week.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Lions and the over.
BILLS at FALCONS
Monday, 7:15 p.m., Payments by 4 ½, 50
HANK’S HONEYS: It is a great place for the Falcons. The Payments are coming off two straight ATS dwelling losses, taking part in solely their second highway sport of the season. It might be Monday evening (ho hum for the Payments, large deal for Atlanta) but it surely’s a non-conference sport towards an opponent that’s higher than it seems. Exterior of the egg they laid in Carolina, the Falcs have been in each sport towards a stout schedule. The Payments’ defensive weak point is towards the run and the Falcons ought to have the ability to sluggish issues down that means. Michael Penix is getting higher every week and his receiving corps is above common. They’re popping out of their bye and the Payments are going into theirs, extra more likely to discover their groove afterwards.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Falcons and the below.

LOOK BUT DON’T TOUCH
BEARS at COMMANDERS
Monday, 8:15 p.m., Commanders by 3 ½, 50
HANK’S HONEYS: Jayden Daniels makes all of the distinction with the Commanders. Do the Bears simply have the protection to sluggish him down, rating within the backside third of the league? They could not. Then again, Caleb Williams is bettering every week. Washington’s protection has holes so there might be factors. Situationally, the Bears may need the sting. The Commanders will face the rival Cowboys subsequent on a brief week whereas the Bears are a contemporary crew coming off their bye. Then there’s the matter of how final 12 months’s sport ended, with that loopy Hail Mary. The Bears may discover some motivation there.
CAN’T HELP YOURSELF?: Bears and the over.

COWBOYS at PANTHERS
1 p.m., Cowboys by 3 ½, 49 ½
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Cowboys and the below.
CHARGERS at DOLPHINS
