Hope the weekend is going well GCF fam! There are a slew of games on the radar for fantasy and gambling. The early set of games should be particularly interesting, and I’m really liking the Panthers at (+3) this week! There are no teams on bye this week, and unless Pittsburgh and Baltimore gets cancelled we will have a great week of football.

 I talked about it in the introduction, but I really love the Panthers to cover the (+3) spread against Minnesota. Teddy Bridgewater should be back behind center, and getting their leader should help this offense move the ball. The defense of Minnesota has been a great matchup against opposing offenses, and I think the plethora of wideouts for Bridgewater have a great day. The combination of Samuel, Moore, and Anderson mixed with the capabilities of Mike Davis makes this offense a good one to bet on!

The Cardinals have been doing crazy good this season, probably a lot further along than most would have assumed. With the mixture of Kyler’s passing and rushing he is too much for defenses to stop. I believe New England has a really tough time stopping him this week. Along with the Hopkins and Kirk combination the offense in Arizona is a tough one to stop. With a spread at just (-1.5) you’d be crazy not to take it.

The Browns are looking like a playoff team. Yeah, you read that correctly. The Cleveland Browns look to be competing for a playoff spot. Despite losing Odell this offense hasn’t missed a beat. Getting Nick Chubb back helps soften the blow of losing Odell for the season. With the slew of injuries for Jacksonville, I think they lean on James Robinson a lot more. Cleveland comes away with a big win in this one.
