Panthers +7 vs. Bills

"The Bills come off a much-needed bye that followed back-to-back losses, and the expectation is that they'll go back to being one the league's elite teams. But I'm not sure how the bye will fix a rush defense that ranks last in yards per play by a wide margin," CBS Sports Gambling and Fantasy editor R.J. White said. "That's an issue with a good Panthers running game on tap, and the Buffalo offense will have to play up to previous levels to take that attack out of the game. But the Panthers' defense has started to solidify, helping Carolina to consistently win the yardage battle in the last three weeks. Andy Dalton is a veteran QB who can protect the ball, let the run game and defense do its thing and keep this close." Back the Panthers at BetMGM Sportsbook now:

Broncos -3.5 vs. Cowboys

The Cowboys are puzzling. Brian Schottenheimer has the offense looking better than ever, but the defense was hamstrung by the preseason trade of Micah Parsons and is among the worst in the league. Meanwhile, Bo Nix has taken a statistical step back in Year Two, but he's still making big plays when it matters, and the defense is still one of the best in the NFL. The model has the Broncos covering the spread in 55% of simulations. Back the Broncos at BetMGM Sportsbook now:

Steelers money line vs. Packers 

It's another Aaron Rodgers revenge game, and it's a spot that he embraced earlier in the season. He went 22-of-30 for 244 yards and four touchdowns in a win over the Jets on the road to open the season, and the Steelers are off to a 4-2 start. Meanwhile, the Packers are off to a 4-1-1 start, but have been significantly worse on the road. They lost to the Browns as 7.5-point favorites, tied the Cowboys as 6.5-point favorites, and needed a late touchdown to beat the Cardinals 27-23 as 7-point favorites. Rodgers will be revved up, and the model has Pittsburgh winning outright in 49% of simulations, while the odds imply a 41% chance to win. Back the Steelers at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
