Overview

• The Chiefs enter as the week’s largest favorite at roughly -11.5 against the Raiders, making them a popular survivor option.
• Covers names the Patriots its top pick at the Titans (moneyline -325) and labels Kansas City the safest play (-750).
• SportsLine’s projection model advises avoiding the Rams versus the Jaguars in London, projecting Los Angeles to win only about 51% of simulations.
• The same model backs a lesser-used team to win in more than 80% of simulations, with the identity available behind a paywall.
• After favorites went 11-4 last week and upsets thinned entries, likely targets include the Packers, Buccaneers, Patriots and Broncos based on current lines.
