THE BEST GAMES TO BET
GIANTS at EAGLES
1 p.m., Eagles by 7, 44
HANK’S HONEYS: The Eagles’ play this yr, even with Jalen Hurts’ breakout sport final week, doesn’t advantage this large a selection. The two-5 Giants may simply be 5-2 had extra issues gone their means and we do suppose that final week’s fourth quarter meltdown will truly present some motivation as a result of they know they’re higher. The Tremendous Bowl champs merely haven’t performed to their id. Saquon Barkley can’t discover any working room behind poor blocking and the defensive entrance hasn’t been as dominant. We like Jaxson Dart to do sufficient to maintain this shut.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Giants and the underneath.
JETS at BENGALS
1 p.m., Bengals by 6 ½, 44
HANK’S HONEYS: The road, up 4 factors from the look-ahead, seems like an over-reaction to Joe Flacco’s efficiency towards the Steelers. The Jets protection, horrible for many of the yr, has performed decently nicely the previous two weeks. The Bengals’ protection, horrible for many of the yr, has remained horrible, permitting a mean of over 30 ppg. If the Jets can’t transfer on these guys, they received’t transfer on anybody. We predict they’ll at the very least preserve it shut. Surprisingly they’re 3-1 ATS when an underdog of at the very least a subject purpose, and that was towards much better groups than Cincy.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Jets and the over.
BROWNS at PATRIOTS
1 p.m., Pats by 7, 40 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: Right here’s one other of this week’s strains that feels too large. We now have to pump the brakes on Drake Maye and the shocking Pats. The Titans are the Titans however are the Pats able to blowout wins over even respectable opponents? The Browns protection could also be the very best that Maye has confronted to this point. It’s able to shutting down the run and placing Maye up towards a fairly fierce move rush. Cleveland QB Dillon Gabriel could not have the best arm energy however Quinshon Judkins’ emergence permits him to handle the sport. Barring turnovers, the Browns ought to be capable of preserve this one shut.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Browns and the underneath.
BILLS at PANTHERS
1 p.m., Payments by 7 ½, 46
HANK’S HONEYS: It’s an ideal situation for the well-rested Payments and Josh Allen. They’ve had two weeks to digest two straight losses and needs to be dialing up the urgency meter now that they chasing the Patriots within the AFC East. The Panthers’ little run has been spectacular and the long run seems brighter however shedding Bryce Younger to a excessive ankle sprain can be killer. Andy Dalton couldn’t transfer the ball towards the Jets when he got here in from the bullpen and the Payments’ D will probably be coping with a one-dimensional assault. In the meantime, Allen can count on to have all day towards Carolina’s tepid move rush. The Cats have confronted solely two respectable QBs this yr (Dak Prescott and Drake Maye) and had been riddled by each. Lord is aware of Allen’s due for an enormous sport.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Payments and the over.
DOLPHINS at FALCONS
1 p.m., Falcons by 7 ½, 44 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: One way or the other, Mike McDaniel nonetheless has his job so we won’t be able to make use of the same old coach being fired bump as anticipated. That signifies that the Dolphins will nonetheless be the Dolphins, dreadful on either side of the ball, taking up a crew that’s sure to be motivated to bounce again after its loss in Santa Clara. The Falcons have been a much better crew at dwelling. They’ve the move rush to smother Tua Tagovailoa the best way the Browns did on Sunday and an array of offensive weapon to show a number of mismatches. The Fish are a useless crew strolling.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Falcons and the underneath.
49ERS at TEXANS
1 p.m., Texans by 1 ½, 41 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: Whereas Brock Purdy returned to follow this week, his progress along with his injured toe appears not what the 49ers hoped it will be. That leaves Mac Jones again there as soon as once more towards a tricky Houston move protection. The Texans may have points containing Christian McCaffrey now that George Kittle’s return has improved the blocking however we’re going to again the house crew. Keep watch over Nico Collins’ standing however a so-far disappointing C.J. Stroud can have his alternatives towards an injury-ravaged D now with out its chief in Fred Warner.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Texans and the underneath.
BUCS at SAINTS
4:05 p.m., Bucs by 6 ½, 46 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: It’s not a great spot for the Bucs with back-to-back street video games and their third in 4 weeks. They’re additionally on a brief week after shedding star WR Mike Evans to a damaged collarbone of their loss to the Lions. Divisional video games are usually tighter, particularly with dwelling canine, making this line look a bit too excessive. We are able to see the Bucs looking forward to a much-needed bye and simply making an attempt to get out of city with a win. Spencer Rattler has been shaky for certain however after a sloppy sport in sloppy Chicago situations, we glance to the New Orleans D to maintain the Saints contained in the quantity.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Saints and the underneath.
TITANS at COLTS
4:25 p.m., Colts by 14 ½, 47
HANK’S HONEYS: The Titans received’t fare any higher towards the league’s best offense than they did of their 41-20 loss within the first assembly. They’re porous towards the run between the tackles and that’s the workplace of the league’s main rusher, Jonathan Taylor. With no different selection however to convey up a security, they are going to be uncovered to the play motion passing machine generally known as Daniel Jones. The Colts are hurting within the secondary and have been yielding loads of passing yardage, which ought to drive this blowout over the entire.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Colts and the over.
PACKERS at STEELERS
8:20 p.m., Packers by 3 ½, 45
HANK’S HONEYS: Aaron Rodgers faces the Packers for the primary time since his departure in a sport that’s exhausting to determine as a result of each groups appear overvalued. The Steelers’ 4-2 document has been constructed towards some mediocre to weak opposition (Jets, Pats earlier than they turned the nook, Vikings and Browns). The Packers, in the meantime, have been underachieving since their first two spectacular wins. If Jacoby Brissett may mild up their protection, a motivated Rodgers ought to as nicely. With that mentioned, we should always see some back-and-forth fireworks right here. We just like the over … rather a lot.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Steelers and the over.
COMMANDERS at CHIEFS
Monday, 8:15 p.m., Chiefs by 9 ½, 48
HANK’S HONEYS: Fortified by the return of Rashee Rice, the Chiefs are feeling like their previous selves. Washington has a suspect protection that has regarded terrible sluggish. The Commanders can’t cease the run and you recognize what Patrick Mahomes can do when he sees a security up within the field. Ok.C.’s run protection has been a weak point however the drop off from Jayden Daniels to Marcus Mariota is appreciable. That may give Steve Spagnuolo alternatives to scheme a sport plan that may check Mariota’s poise when Spags brings the warmth.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Chiefs and the over.

LOOK BUT DON’T TOUCH
COWBOYS at BRONCOS
4:25 p.m., Broncos by 3, 51
HANK’S HONEYS: This Cowboys’ offense seems unstoppable. Dak Prescott is having his greatest season, and mixed with what Javonte Williams brings on the bottom, it’s the most-balanced assault within the NFL. Jaxson Dart made the Broncos’ supposedly elite protection look atypical final week. Nonetheless, how a lot emotional foreign money did Denver’s miracle win earn? That is Denver’s second straight dwelling sport after a tough scheduling stretch. The Broncos ought to have their legs again. If the Denver D takes umbrage and Bo Nix can choose on the shabby Cowboys secondary (Washington’s receiving corps was all on the damage listing final week), the Broncos can simply cowl this FG unfold.
CAN’T HELP YOURSELF?: Broncos and the over.

IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Ravens and the over.
