Las Vegas - If you looked at both regular season games between the Bills and Dolphins, and noticed very TIGHT scores, FUHGEDDABOUDIT! Doesn't matter. Why? Tua Tagovailoa played in BOTH of those games, a 21-19 win in Miami and a 32-29 loss at Buffalo. Tua is GONE and Skylar Thompson will probably get the start at QB. There is a chance that Teddy Bridgewater will be back from a dislocated pinkie finger on his throwing hand. Not likely, but possible. As long as we don't see Tua, gotta ride with the Buffs in this spot, but will just make it a light tickle.

Gonna pass on the middle game with the Giants and Vikings. Like the New Yorkers but that's more of my heart than my head talking, so it's a pass.

And we gotta close out the day with the Bengals over the Ravens. These AFC North rivals played last week, with Cincy posting a 27-16 victory. Don't think that Joe Burrow and the offense showed the entire offensive portfolio, but they WILL in this spot. And on the other side of the field, Baltimore has ALL sorts of problems. Lamar Jackson is OUT. Backup Tyler Huntley didn't play last week and clearly is not 100%. That leaves THIRD string QB Anthony Brown at the controls. Brown started last week against Cincinnati and was a very SHAKY 19 of 44 for 286 yards, with two INTs and a fumble lost. Burrow brings his Cats in on a gorgeous 8-0 straight up run and a STUNNING 12-2 spread run. TWELVE & TWO, which works out to an 86% cover rate, and a GIGANTIC bundle of cash. Gimme a cup of Joe. Actually, make it a FULL MUG of Burreaux!
