We’ve just the three games in the NFL’s Sunday night slate this week, but they’re interesting matchups with plenty of betting angles to be attacked.
NFL tipster Sam Farley’s got five picks from the three games for a value-stuffed Bet Builder. Let’s get his thoughts for Sunday night’s match-ups.

9:05pm – Carolina Panthers @ Washington Commanders
Washington Commanders -8.5
After six games, the Washington Commanders have been the NFL’s surprise package. They currently top the NFC East with four wins. They’re 8.5-point favourites over the Panthers here with good reason.
The Panthers won’t be able to pressure Jayden Daniels enough, meaning the quarterback will be able to air it out or alternatively hand off to Brian Robinson for him to carry the ball up the field. Nobody has allowed more points than the Panthers so far this season, and even with Andy Dalton at quarterback, they’re not a great offense; they won’t be able to hang with the Commanders.
Jayden Daniels anytime touchdown
We saw Daniels picked second overall in this year’s NFL Draft, and he’s repaying the Commanders already, playing at an MVP-calibre level. He’s thrown six touchdown passes, only been intercepted twice, has a 107.1 QB Rating, and has also shown leadership beyond his years.
What’s been really impressive is that he’s a legitimate dual-threat quarterback and has been effective on the ground when he needs to run. He’s been incredibly efficient doing that in the red zone and already has four rushing TDs in six games.
9:05pm – Las Vegas Raiders @ Los Angeles Rams
Las Vegas Raiders +6.5
The Raiders and Rams come into this looking to break two-game losing streaks. The Rams’ are still big favourites for this one, with the Raiders being 6.5-point underdogs.
There’s no doubt that the Raiders have looked poor on offense. They’ve now lost Davante Adams via a trade to the Jets, and Jakobi Meyers and Zamair White are questionable to play.
That said, the Rams are 1-4 against the spread and have repeatedly failed to show up this season. They’re ranked 30th in defensive DVOA, and there’s a chance that Aidan O’Connell and the Raiders can hang within 6.5 points of the Rams, even if they can’t win outright.
9:25pm – Kansas City Chiefs @ San Francisco 49ers
Travis Kelce – Over 5.5 receptions
The season-ending injury for Rashee Rice meant that a lot of targets needed to be redistributed on the Chiefs’ offense. One of the main beneficiaries of this is Travis Kelce. The tightend had struggled early in the season, with just eight catches on 11 targets for 69 yards in the first three games.
The team have looked to get him more involved, and since then, he’s had a minimum of seven catches and nine targets in both games that followed. He’s still a game-breaking talent, and Patrick Mahomes will look to get him the ball often in this one.
JuJu Smith-Schuster – Over 45.5 receiving yards
The other player to benefit from an increase in usage with Rice sidelined is JuJu Smith-Schuster. In Week Five, before the Chiefs’ bye, he caught seven of eight targets for 130 yards and instantly shone, operating largely from the slot and taking the Rice role.
It was a great return to form from the WR, who is still just 27 years old. It looks like he and Kelce will be tasked with moving the chains most for the Chiefs in this game and beyond.
