The Panthers are 3.5 favorites priced at -110 at online sportsbooks. Granted, the last game Carolina played didn’t paint either side of the ball in a good light. Cam Newton has otherwise been pretty solid this season. Aerially, they aren’t that prolific, even with Devin Funchess, rising DJ Moore, still-effective tight end Greg Olsen, and a massively-successful ball catching back in Christian McCaffrey. Against a Detroit pass-defense that can be solid, Carolina might have to rely more on the run. Luckily for them, they are in good hands with McCaffrey and Newton, who has a renewed focus on running the ball. Is the ground game the answer to covering the spread? Loot has your free pick.

UFC 231 Picks – Main Event Analysis
UFC 231 main event prediction features reigning Featherweight Champion Max Holloway facing unbeaten challenger Brian Ortega. Our resident UFC expert scrutinizes the strengths and weaknesses of each fighter and gives out his opinion on who to bet.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Los Angeles Rams Pick
Let’s point out that the Rams just had 4 of their last five games on the road. Things could look better as they get the next two at home, followed by a bye-week. They can dig in at home a little bit and shake off some of the road-weariness that started showing at New Orleans last week. Still, maybe they’ve been overrated a bit? They were the preseason darlings of just about everyone and they’ve been awesome at 8-1. But they have started to show some cracks in the armor. Will the Seahawks be able to build a game plan and stay within 10 points? Loot has an NFL pick and prediction.
Arizona Cardinals vs. Kansas City Chiefs Pick
The Arizona Cardinals come to Arrowhead for a week 10 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a tale of two teams with opposite trajectories, with the Cardinals in the dumps at 2-6, while the Chiefs are tied for having the best record in the league at 8-1. On Sunday, they beat the Browns on the road 37-21. It was also the eighth time they covered the spread in nine games this season. But is that a trend that matters here in week 10 as bettors face a 16.5 hole before kick-off? LL gives his take on laying the big number.
Betting Los Angeles Chargers over Oakland Raiders
The Chargers leave a lot to be desired as double-digit road favorites at most bookies. But the matchups hold water. Coming off the bye, the Chargers looked fresh and enlivened to take on the second-half of the season with aplomb. Their run-game is very robust, with Melvin Gordon leading the way, bolstered by Austin Ekeler. They average over 5.2 yards per carry and Oakland’s run-defense is ranked last in the league. Betting the Chargers is the play this week according to NFL capper Loot Levinson.
Online Sportsbooks Make Packers 9.5 Favorites vs Dolphins
After losing conclusively to Detroit and Houston in consecutive weeks, the Dolphins were able to beat the Jets at home on Sunday. They did so on the strength of a defensive TD, as the offense didn’t even get in the end zone—no small feat against the Jets’ road-defense. Their defense played well for a change, but it still was far from an impressive win. Now they take to Green Bay in a game that is out-of-conference in a venue a lot of ‘Fins players have never seen. Despite the win and potential momentum, sportsbook have the Dolphins as 9.5 point dogs!
Oregon Ducks vs. Utah Utes Pick to Bet
The wounded Oregon Ducks (6-3 SU, 3-6 ATS) head to Utah to battle the Utes (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS). The CFB betting board has Utah listed as -3.5 point spread favorite with an O/U line of 56.5.
