The NFC-leading Cowboys and the rampant Raiders are among our best teams to back this weekend....
Dallas Cowboys to beat Baltimore Ravens – {ODDS:121013648:10/33}
Winners of eight consecutive games, the Cowboys look unstoppable at the moment.
They came through a difficult test against the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend, with rookie quarterback Dak Prescott twice leading them back from behind in the fourth quarter.
Prescott now ranks fourth in the NFL in passer rating, while running back Ezekiel Elliott leads the league in rushing yards per game.
Dallas are not just an offensive juggernaut, though. Only seven teams have conceded fewer points per game this season.
They should comfortably beat a Ravens team that had lost three in a row before their current two-game winning streak.
Baltimore have turned the ball over six times in their last three games, and only two teams have averaged fewer yards per play this season.
Tennessee Titans to beat Indianapolis Colts – {ODDS:121012650:5/4}
After a slow start to the season, Tennessee have suddenly become one of the NFL’s most dynamic teams.
The Titans have averaged 33.6 points per game in their last six contests, four of which they have won, and now rank second in offensive yards and fifth in yards per play.
They can score in a variety of ways – ranking third in passing touchdowns and fourth in rushing scores – and will present a real test for the inconsistent Colts.
Indianapolis won their last game against the Green Bay Packers, but have failed to record successive victories all season.
That they have conceded more points per game than all but three teams is indicative of their defensive struggles.
The Colts have allowed the NFL’s third-most rushing yards per attempt this season, so look for Tennessee running back DeMarco Murray to enjoy another successful night.
Washington Redskins to beat Green Bay Packers – {ODDS:121014957:20/29}
The Packers are always highly-rated thanks to quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but the 32-year-old has had a poor season so far.
The two-time MVP currently ranks outside of the top 10 in passing yards, passer rating and completion rate.
He now takes on a Washington team that has allowed the league’s sixth-fewest passing touchdowns.
The Redskins have been the more impressive offensive team this year.
They rank joint-second in yards per play, sixth in first downs, and have recorded fewer turnovers than their Sunday opponents.
Washington are a team on the rise – their narrow loss to the Detroit Lions three weeks ago is their only defeat in their last seven games.
Oakland Raiders to beat Houston Texans – {ODDS:121015129:5/13}
Only five AFC teams have recorded at least six wins this season, and two of them meet on Monday night.
The Texans and Raiders are polar opposites in terms of their playing style.
Houston are abysmal offensively, ranking last in yards per play, passing yards and rushing touchdowns.
Their defence is impressive, but they could struggle against the formidable Raiders, who have won six of their last seven.
Oakland have scored at least 30 points in each of their last four victories, and have won each of their last three by a margin of six points or more.
They beat the defending Super Bowl champions at home in their last contest, and will be well-rested on Monday after a week-10 bye.
