Happy Friday, friends! Here's where I'm putting my money this weekend...

Broncos vs Ravens
Ron Chenoy/USA TODAY Sports
Sitting at 38.5, this game has gotta go under right?
You're telling me THE WORST offensive team in football is going up against a Ravens defense who ranks 12th in points allowed? Good luck with that one.
You got the Ravens who are a top 8 scoring offense against arguably the best defense in the Broncos. Talk about a struggle city game.
The Ravens bread and butter is run game where they rank 2nd in the NFL. This is where the Ravens will have most success while also running the clock.
Not to mention, once the Ravens get into the red zone, they are going against the BEST red zone defense! Justin Tucker will be busy Sunday.
The main reason I can't go with a side here is because the Ravens offense is so inconsistent. If we go two weeks back, the Ravens only put up 13 against the Panthers and with this Broncoās non-existent offense, everything is telling me under.
The Line (via Points Bet): Broncos +8.5 (-107) O/U 39.5 (-107), Broncos ML +300 Ravens ML -375

Commanders vs Giants
All aboard the Taylor Heinicke train! Washington is coming into this one as the favorite. They're 4-0 against the spread as favorites, 4-2 against the spread away, and 7-4 overall.
It took a touchdown with 8 seconds left for the Giants to cover against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. I'M COMING BACK FOR MY MONEY.
We all know the Giants offense revolves around Saquon. He is their backbone with the Giants having the 6th most rushing yards this season. They may face some pressure this game with Washingtonās defense which is ranked 8th in fewest rushing yards against.
The Giants may take the rushing yards, and Washington may have the advantage in defense, but letās not bring up passing yards. Both teams have a non-existent passing game, ranked 23rd and 28th.
Either way, Iām going with Washington here. The team is 4-1 in their L5 and only lost by 3 to the Vikings. Plus they beat the Eagles! That says a lot. I'll lay the 2.5 here.
The Line (Via PointsBet): Commanders -2 (-107) O/U 40 (-107, both ways) Commanders ML -135 Giants ML +115
Jets vs Vikings

The Vikings defense seems to be getting worse and worse. At this point I'm waiting for the collapse.
When your team is giving up 390 yards per game on average, thatās not a good sign. Thatās 2nd WORST in the NFL. On top of that, in their L3 games, they are giving up an average of 451 yards!! I didn't think it could get any worse, but it sure did.
Now, I'm not saying Mike White is gonna ball outā although he looked good against a very ugly Bears defenseā but, I can see him having very similar success against the Vikings!
Just look at the track record from the previous team he went up against. Chicago ranks 12th in opponent passing yards allowed and Minnesota ranks DEAD LASTā¦I donāt think itās that hard to predict what Mike White is going to do against the worst passing defense in the league.
And let's not act like the Jets didn't put up 31 points against the Bears!
My dog of the week is Jets ML. Plus, I have a good feeling with them 4-1 against the spread on the road this season and 2-0 as an underdog.
The Line (Via Points Bet): Jets +3(-115) O/U 44.5( -107, both ways) Jets ML +125 Vikings ML -145
Speaking of underdogs...
Nothing feels better than doing what people say you can't do.

Prop of the Week: Aaron Jones Over 58.5 Rush Yards
This has only hit in 5/12 games but I love this spot going against the Bears defense who ranks 27th in rushing yards allowed and gives up an average of 144 yards on the ground. Even with Rodgers thumb and the Jordan Love situation, I still see them establishing a strong run game.
