Packers -3 vs 49ers
The 49ers (5-5) are struggling, sitting fourth in the NFC West. Under Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco is 1-3 against Green Bay in regular season games. With Purdy's shoulder issues and Bosa questionable, the Packers' fourth-ranked takeaway defense and improving offense under Jordan Love make them a strong pick to cover at home in cold conditions.
Cardinals +1 vs Seahawks
Coming off a bye week, the Cardinals face a Seahawks team that's 1-5 ATS at home under Geno Smith this season. Kyler Murray's efficiency and James Conner's running ability should exploit Seattle's 27th-ranked rushing defense. Arizona's defense has been solid, allowing just 15 points in their last two games combined.
The Cardinals' fifth-best rushing attack matches up well against Seattle's vulnerable run defense. Arizona's momentum and extra preparation time make them a strong road underdog pick.
Eagles -3 vs Rams
Philadelphia enters this Sunday Night Football matchup with a 4-1 ATS road record and three straight wins against the Rams. Their potent rushing attack led by Barkley and Hurts should dominate, while AJ Brown provides a serious passing threat against LA's secondary.
The Eagles' league-leading pass defense and strong front seven should contain a Rams offense dealing with offensive line injuries. Philadelphia's balanced attack and defensive prowess make them a solid favorite to cover on the road.
