Lines for this week’s NFL games come from FanDuel, and will continue to do so until a sportsbook gives us money to plug them. Lines marked with an asterisk are consensus lines because the game is not on the board at FanDuel at the time of writing. Bold indicates a best bet. Bold and italic indicates the lock of the week.

This week:

NFC: Brock Purdy has done very well for the 49ers to this point. But now is when you need your QB to be able to win games for you, not just not lose them. Both Philly and San Fran are very well-rounded teams, but the difference is Philly’s got one of the better QBs in the league. PHI -2.5 lock of the week.

AFC: I highly doubt Patrick Mahomes is 100%. That said, Mahomes at 85% is still a top-10 QB. KC, with Frank Clark, Chris Jones, and company, should be able to take better advantage of the Bengals’ woes up front than the Bills did. That said, the Bengals have a strong pass rush, too, and could take advantage if Mahomes isn’t quite as agile as normal. I trust the Bengals defense more than the Chiefs’, so CIN +1.5.
