Sunday Best Bets — FINAL (with current lines)
- 1) Browns +3.5 vs Vikings (London, 9:30 a.m. ET) — Line: MIN −3.5 | Total: 36.5. Buy/Wait: Take +3.5 now (prefer +3.5, would still nibble +4 if it appears). Low total boosts the value of the hook.
- 2) Seahawks −3.5 vs Buccaneers (4:05 p.m. ET) — Line: SEA −3.5 | Total: 44.5. Buy/Wait: Play −3.5 at standard juice; if −3 shows, upgrade stake. Expect Bucs money at +3.5 to keep this from climbing.
- 3) Under 47.5 — Commanders at Chargers (4:25 p.m. ET) — Spread/Total: LAC −2.5 to −3 | 47.5. Buy/Wait: Under 47.5 is playable; add if 48 pops. Pass below 47.

Long Shot Value Adds
- Titans +7.5 at Cardinals (4:05 p.m. ET) — Current: ARI −7.5 | 41.5. Buy/Wait: +8 would be ideal if it flickers; +7.5 acceptable with a low total.
- Bengals +10.5 vs Lions (4:25 p.m. ET) — Current: DET −10.5 | 49.5. Buy/Wait: Take +10.5; add at +11 if the market drifts on public chalk.
Consensus Check — Key Market Numbers (A.M.)
- Vikings vs Browns (London): MIN −3.5 | 36.5
- Buccaneers at Seahawks: SEA −3.5 | 44.5
- Commanders at Chargers: LAC −2.5 to −3 | 47.5
- Titans at Cardinals: ARI −7.5 | 41.5
- Lions at Bengals: DET −10.5 | 49.5
Card Management — How We’re Entering
- Stagger totals entries (U47.5 LAC–WAS, add if 48 shows).
- Protect against hooks: if SEA dips to −3 anywhere, prioritize that number.
- Lean into the low total in London: +3.5 on CLE has outsized value versus +3.
