I'm playing on Wolverhampton/Leeds UNDER the total. Leeds seems to be following in Woverhampton's footsteps. Since winning the Championship in 2017-18, the Wolves have finished seventh in the Prem. League each of the past two seasons. Now, its Leeds which is the promoted side, currently sitting in eighth in the PL standings. Indeed, things are currently very tight in the standings and I expect this one to be a tight game. Leeds has seen its last two matches finish with scores of 1-0 and 1-1. Wolverhampton checks in off a 1-0 win of its own. Expect another low-scoring affair. 

I'm playing on DALLAS. Prescott was playing at a very high level. His injury does hurt the Cowboys. That said, the Cowboy offense will still be good with Dalton running the show. The veteran is very capable and has much to work with. Remember, if Prescott was playing, the Cowboys would have been laying points. So, the injury has been worked into the line. Yes, the Murray/Hopkins combo will present some problems. However, I'm of the opinion that the Dallas defense is a bit better than most would have you believe. I like the way that the Cowboys took care of business against the Giants last game and I expect them to dig deep and find a way to earn another "W" tonight. 

I'm playing on BUFFALO for the first half. Both these teams started the season with perfect 4-0 records. Both stumbled in Week 5. Most have grown so accustomed to seeing the Chiefs win that they think that they can't possibly lose twice in a row. They can, particularly against a dangerous and highly motivated Buffalo team. The perception that the Chiefs can't possibly lose two in a row has helped create plenty of value, particularly in my opinion, for the first half. This is a huge game for the Bills. They're going to be extremely fired up and I expect them to come out flying. Grab the points for the first half and don't be surprised when Buffalo takes a lead into the locker room. 

I'm playing on Arizona/Dallas UNDER the total. This is a very high O/U number and I believe that it'll prove to be too high. Cowboy games have flown over the total. However, Dallas is now without its starting QB and its facing an Arizona team which has been seeing its games stay below the number. Yes, the Cardinals have some dangerous offensive weapons. However, Arizona has still seen all five of its games produce 52 or fewer combined points, the UNDER going 4-0-1. While I respect Dalton, Prescott was playing at a very high level. Yes, the Cowboy offense will still be good. But, a small step back would only be natural. That means that the Cowboys will need to be better defensively. I believe that they can be. Also, a tough Arizona secondary should lead Dallas to run the ball more regularly. It all adds up to this one proving lower-scoring than the shootout which many will be expecting.
