Chiefs vs. Raiders
• 00:01:31 Cynthia predicts the Chiefs will cover the spread against the Raiders, highlighting the Chiefs' past victory over the Raiders and their motivation following a close game against the Panthers. Greg agrees with Cynthia's pick, noting the Raiders' struggles and the stark difference in team quality.
Titans vs. Commanders
• 00:03:00 Cynthia's top pick is the Titans +5.5 against the Commanders. She believes the Titans have been playing better than their record suggests and that their defense can contain Washington's run-based offense. Greg also likes this pick and suggests a potential 3-point Titans win.
Seahawks vs. Jets
• 00:06:08 Greg picks the Seahawks -2 against the Jets, noting the Jets' struggles and inconsistencies despite consistently favorable betting odds. Cynthia agrees with Greg's pick and mentions that the Seahawks' defense has improved, particularly against the run. She also points out that this could be a revenge game for Geno Smith.
Rams vs. Saints
• 00:08:32 Cynthia believes the Rams are in good shape to win against the Saints, citing the Rams' offensive weapons and the Saints' struggles with tackling. She doubts that the Saints' defense can handle the Rams' varied offensive options and feels the Saints' recent wins were against weaker opponents.
Colts vs. Patriots
• 00:10:10 Greg's final pick is the Colts -2.5 against the Patriots, based on his view that the Patriots are a poorly coached and underperforming team, while the Colts have shown improvement on defense and with their quarterback. He believes the Colts have a good chance to win and that the Patriots have a difficult schedule ahead.
