Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars

A pair of AFC South rivals meet on Friday morning as the 0-2 Jaguars take on the 1-1 Titans. Both sides are coming off similar results in Week 2 as the Jags almost stole a victory over the Texans but well short in the dying seconds by a point. Meanwhile, the Titans also played a divisional rival and were once again on the losing side of the Colts in the 19-17 scoreline. The Jaguars have already lost QB Nick Foles for a few months and their hopes lie with rookie Gardner Minshew. He's looked okay so far with 3 touchdown passes but he struggled last week in terms of sacks (4). The Titans defence is 2nd in the league for sacks (8) so it's a tough matchup for the young QB. The Jags have also struggled to move the ball on the ground with Fournette's 28 carries only going for 113 yards thus far. So after a few low scoring contests on Friday to begin the season, we're liking the Under once again in this matchup. The last meeting in Jacksonville resulted in a touchdown less game as the Titans held on for a 9-6 victory. Overall, the Under has saluted in 7 of the last 9 games between two sides at this venue as well. We'd also back the Titans to get the job done as they hold a 6-1 SU record against the Jags and their defence should have no trouble stopping a rookie QB.

Stadium Record

The Jags have lost 5 of their last 6 home games. Meanwhile, the Titans do enjoying playing in Jacksonville with a 6-1 SU record.

Head to Head Record

The Titans have won 6 of the last 7 meetings at any venue and swept the series last season.

New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks

With QB Drew Brees now on the sidelines, the Saints season is suddenly in damage control and it won't get any easier as they face the Seahawks on the road this Monday. Brees injured his hand in the 27-9 loss to the Rams last week and that will see Teddy Bridgewater take the reins. So they'll look to get the ball into the hands of RB Alvin Kamara. However, the Seahawks defence is 4th in the NFL for rushing yards and that will likely mean Bridgewater has to beat them in the air. That's something we don't see happening. The Seahawks are 2-0 on the season and while both wins over the Steelers and Bengals have been close, this probably won't be the case. Wilson had a great game last week with 3 tds and 300 yards. While on the ground, they controlled the clock with 33 carries and 151 yards. So it's hard to go past the Seahawks leading at half-time and going onto to win. They've won 5 straight at home and also hold a 5-1 SU record against the Saints.

Stadium Record

Seattle has won it's last 5 home games and beat the Bengals by a point here in Week 1. The Saints have lost the last 3 meetings in Seattle since 2007.

Head to Head Record

The two sides last met in 2016 and the Saints won 25-20. But the Seahawks have won 6 of the last 9 meetings.

Los Angeles Rams at Cleveland Browns

The Browns meet the Rams on Monday afternoon in a rare sight for Cleveland fans as they're finally back in the spotlight. OBJ did what he does best last Thursday as the Browns easily accounted for the Jets, 23-3. Beckham provided a variety of highlights, including an 89 yard touchdown play at his old venue. The Browns will look to rebound on their home turf after losing 43-13 in Week 1 but the Rams will be tough. They're 2-0 thus far with an easy win over the injury riddled Saints and a close road victory over the Panthers. This should be a great battle at QB with Baker Mayfield up against Jared Goff. Mayfield has a lot more weapons this season. Meanwhile, Goff is getting his connection back with Kupp after his injury last year. On the road, the LA Rams are playing great football with 11 wins in their last 13 and they've covered in 4 of their last 5. They've also dominated the Browns with 4 wins in the last 5 meetings. It's hard to forget the Browns Week 1 outing at home and while they smashed the Jets last week, the soft victory probably won't help them against the experienced Rams. So we're going with the Rams as their superior defence should be the key in another road victory.

Stadium Record

Cleveland lost their home opener 43-13 and hold a poor 6-18-1 SU record in home games. The Rams last travelled to Cleveland in 2011 and came away with a 13-12 win.

Head to Head Record

Since 1999, the two sides have met on 5 occasions and the Rams have won 4 of 5.

Chicago Bears at Washington Redskins

Tuesday's NFL action comes to Washington as the Redskins will be desperate for a win against the Chicago Bears. The 'Skins have been no match for the Eagles and Cowboys in the opening two weeks of the season, especially defensively as they've allowed 31.5 ppg. However, the Bears offence is currently not capable of taking advantage as they've been poor thus far. They lost their home opener 10-3 and were pretty lucky to beat the Broncos 16-14 last week. Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro nailed a 53-yard field goal as time expired to give the Bears a huge win in the context of the season. Interestingly, the Redskins have a great record against the Bears and we don't mind their chances in this one either. Overall, they've won the last 5 meetings and also hold a 7-1 record when they're the home team. The Bears elite defence always keeps them in the contest so it should be a close game. But with the Redskins desperate to avoid an 0-3 start, they should be fired up to win on their home turf.

Stadium Record

The Redskins lost their home opener last week against the Cowboys (31-21) and have lost their last 5 home games. The Bears have won just 1 of their last 8 games in Washington.

Head to Head Record

The last meeting at this venue was back in 2013 as the Redskins outlasted the Bears 45-41. The 'Skins have also won the last 2 meetings in Chicago in 2015 and 2016.
