First & Jenn’s Game to Skip

New York Giants @ Las Vegas Raiders

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 4:25 PM ET

Prediction: Giants

Best Bet: Giants ML (+105)

Miami Dolphins vs Kansas City Chiefs

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 9:30 AM ET

Prediction: Dolphins

Best Bet: Dolphins ML (+105)

Minnesota Vikings @ Atlanta Falcons

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 PM ET

Seattle Seahawks @ Baltimore Ravens

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 PM ET

Notes: This is going to be a fun matchup with an incredible offense in the Ravens vs a respectable Seahawks team.

All-Time History: Series tied, 3-3

Prediction: Ravens

Best Bet: M. Andrews Anytime TD (+125)

Arizona Cardinals @ Cleveland Browns

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 PM ET

Notes: I think the Browns back this week, but the Cardinals have managed to randomly beat one team this season – they could do it again.

All-Time History: Cleveland leads, 33-16-3

Prediction: Browns

Best Bet: Total O 36.5 (-135)

Los Angeles Rams @ Green Bay Packers

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 PM ET

Prediction: Rams

Best Bet: Rams ML (+155)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Houston Texans

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 PM ET

Notes: Seems very evenly matched up this week minus the QB experience.

All-Time History: Houston leads, 4-1

Prediction: Buccaneers

Best Bet: R. White Anytime TD (+140)

Washington Commanders @ New England Patriots

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 PM ET

Notes: After trading away a few key pieces of the Commanders defense, I think the Patriots have an advantage in this game, but they haven’t been able to capitalize off of much of that this season.

All-Time History: Washington leads, 6-5

Prediction: Commanders

Best Bet: B. Robinson Anytime TD (-110)

Chicago Bears @ New Orleans Saints

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 PM ET

Notes: The Saints run game might really be the key for them to win this game, whereas a new quarterback at the helm in Chicago could make things difficult. 

All-Time History: New Orleans leads, 17-13

Prediction: Bears

Best Bet: T. Bagent O 189.5 Pass Yards (-115)

Indianapolis Colts @ Carolina Panthers

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 4:05 PM ET

Notes: The Colts might as well get an easy win from the Panthers who, at this point, is too late for a comeback.

All-Time History: Carolina leads, 5-2

Prediction: Colts

Best Bet: J. Taylor Anytime TD (-160)

Buffalo Bills @ Cincinnati Bengals

When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 8:20 PM ET

Notes: Looking forward to this game because of Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s cardiac episode last year, and again, both of these teams need a win to stay relevant in the playoff picture.

All-Time History: Buffalo leads, 17-13

Prediction: Bengals

Best Bet: J. Burrow O 1.5 Passing TDs (-155)

Los Angeles Chargers @ New York Jets

When: Monday, November 6, 2023 @ 8:15 PM ET

Notes: I’m not sure what I think of this matchup yet. I think it’s going to be interesting watching them both play against each other as it feels like they’re both on the same level.

All-Time History: Los Angeles leads, 23-12-1

Prediction: Jets

Best Bet: Z. Wilson O 215.5 Passing Yards (-115)
