NFL Bet Builder Tips & Betting Predictions

The Saints have the 2nd-worst defense in the NFL, allowing 30.2 OPP PPG, rising to 34.3 OPP PPG over their last three games.

In contrast, the Giants rank 10th with an OPP PPG of 21.2.

Offensively, the two sides are similar with New Orleans 16th (23.6 PPG) and New York joint-21st (21.8 PPG).

Saints QB Tyler Shough is coming into this game off the back of his worst performance of the season, throwing just 96 yards in New Orleans' 13-23 defeat to the Minnesota Vikings.

This was their third straight defeat, all of them by at least an eight-point margin.

The Saints are also 1-4 compared to the Giants 3-1-1, with New York also having home advantage.

They bounced back from being 12-3 down at half time against the Washington Commanders last time out to clinch a rare 27-27 OT draw.

This followed a two-game winning run that saw the Giants beat the Cardinals 36-24 and the Titans 12-7.

Back them to beat the spread here.

The Panthers come into this game off the back of a bye week, while the Eagles are coming back from a 19-17 defeat to the Jaguars in London.

Carolina should, therefore, be more rested.

In addition, Philadelphia have lost three games in a row, with injuries to key offensive players causing major issues.

They rank 29th in PPG with an average of 18.4, with Carolina sitting in 4th with an average of 30.3.

The Eagles will also be weakened by the absence of star QB Jalen Hurts, who has been ruled out with a blood clot.

The Panthers are good at applying pressure, so could take advantage of an Eagles offense that struggles to protect its QB.

On the other side, Bryce Young has been zipping the ball quite consistently.

There are question marks about Carolina's defense - 26th in the NFL in OPP PPG - but this is skewed heavily by the fact they conceded 59 points to the Bears in an opening week defeat.

In their last three games, they have the 4th-strongest defense in the NFL with an OPP PPG of 16.7.

Despite this, offenses should rule, which is why the Panthers should be backed

Tampa Bay enters this game following a lengthy rest, having upset the Dallas Cowboys 16-24 in Week 5's Thursday Night Football.

Both sides have similar offensive and defensive records (Pittsburgh 22.2 PPG, 21.8 OPP PPG; Tampa Bay 20.0 PPG, 22.4 OPP PPG) suggesting another tight game.

What could clinch it is home advantage for the Bucs and that additional rest, paired with the fact that the Steelers are 0-2 on the road this season.

In addition, the Bucs are coming into this off the back of their first win of the campaign.

Tampa Bay rushed for 241 yards v the Cowboys, far higher than their season average of 133.0, while Pittsburgh have a decidedly average rush defense (13th in the NFL, 103.4 opponent rushing yards per game).

Taking the additional rest, the Steelers' woes on the road, and the fact the Bucs enter this following their best game of the season thus far, I fancy them to cover.

It is also worth noting that all four of the Bucs' defeats this season have been by single-digit margins (three, seven, four, and six).

Wilson has had 70+ receiving yards in 3/5 games this season, including receiving for 104 yards and one TD last time out in the Jets' 17-12 victory over Cleveland.

He is looking for his third 100+ yard game in four attempts.

He is averaging a season-best 74.8 Y/G with a 73.8% catch percentage in 2026.

The Pats may rank 9th in opponent passing yards per game this season (205.4) but in their 45-17 win over the Raiders last week, they allowed 268.0 yards.

With the Pats' secondary still a little banged-up, this looks like perfect conditions for Wilson to take advantage.

Maye has passed for seven TDs in his last two games - three against the Bills and four against the Raiders - after a somewhat disappointing start.

He also recorded his best completion percentage of the season against Las Vegas, 76.5%, along with his season-best passing yards (374).

He is up against a Jets side that sits joint-10th in opponent passing TDs per game (1.2), 4th in opponent passing yards per game (175.0, but 11th with a 204 yard-average in their last three games) and crucially joint-13th in opponent pass attempts per game (32.0, rising to 33.0 in their last three).

These are pretty average stats. With #1 WR AJ Brown off the IR and set to return, having recovered from a high ankle sprain in Week 1 v Seattle, there should be even greater opportunities for Maye to clear this line.
