Commanders +11 vs. Chiefs (-110)
“The Commanders will be without Jayden Daniels and their best pass rusher, but this number seems overadjusted to me. The Chiefs were laying the same amount of points against the Raiders last week, and a Commanders team likely to be healthier at WR with Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel trending toward returning is in a much better spot than Vegas was last week,” CBS Sports Fantasy and Gambling editor R.J. White said. “Marcus Mariota is a fine fill-in, and the Commanders have averaged about 33 points in the four games he’s seen significant playing time the last two years. The Chiefs are my top rated team and I still can’t get this spread projection past 10.” Back the Commanders at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
Dodgers -1.5 vs. Blue Jays (+105)
“The Dodgers came back in Game 2 with a typical Dodgers 5-1 win to even things up. Game 2 looked like an extension of the NLCS against the Brewers, when the Dodgers pitching allowed one run in each game. The Dodgers starting pitching has set the tone in these playoffs, and they’ve gone under six of their last seven games,” former Vegas bookmaker and SportsLine handicapper Micah Roberts said. “They’ve got another ace-type starter going in Game 3 with Tyler Glasnow, who hasn’t lost since August, as the Dodgers have won seven straight games behind him, including the last three games that he’s only allowed one run combined. He’s getting better as the games become more crucial. Matt Scherzer goes for Toronto, and he lost 5-1 to the Dodgers in August.” Back the Dodgers at BetMGM Sportsbook now:
Celtics +2.5 vs. Pelicans (-110)
Both of these teams are winless on the season and it’s clear that the Celtics are feeling the effects of Jayson Tatum (Achilles) being sidelined for the foreseeable future. However, all three of Boston’s losses have come against presumptive playoff teams and Jaylen Brown is certainly doing his best to prove that he can keep the franchise afloat while Tatum recovers. He’s averaging 29.7 points per game while shooting 49.2% from the floor and 50.0% from teh 3-point line this season. The model has Boston covering in 67% of simulations.
