Expert Picks

Our experts picked the spread and total for all 12 games below.

Locks of the Week

Scott: Bills (-9.5) With Case Keenum likely to miss Week 9 with a concussion, the Redskins will turn to first round pick Dwayne Haskins. Haskins has not shown the ability to read defenses and quite frankly looks like a deer in headlights at this point. Look for Buffalo to get after him early and often in a get right spot for a team that was beaten handily by the Eagles on Sunday. Lay the points with confidence.

Rohit: Lions vs. Raiders (Over 50.5) These teams have two of the worst defenses in the league with Detroit allowing 26.6 ppg and Oakland giving up 30 ppg. Both teams also have solid offenses with the Lions 13th in the league in offensive DVOA and the Raiders surprisingly 8th. Oakland's strong ground game will be going up against a weak Lions run D that allows 130.7 rushing yards per game. And Detroit's aerial attack, which racks up the fifth-most passing yards in the NFL, will take on a Raiders pass D that gives up the second-most yards to opposing QBs.

Ben: Jaguars (+1.5) For my top pick this week I am looking across the pond to the Wembley game. The Jaguars have exceeded expectations with Gardner Minshew under center. With JJ Watt out for the Texans, the Jaguars should be able to hang around with the Texans, and use their experiences playing in London to come away with a win.
