Pittsburgh Over 29.5 (3 Units) <<< Best Bet
The Saints defense has been very shaky ranking 27th in total defense (377.1 yards), 25th in scoring defense (26.0), and 23rd in defending both the pass (253.3) and run (123.8). The Saints don't tackle well and suffer far too many assignment breakdowns and against a lethal combination the Steelers have both on the ground and the air at home where they have averaged 35.6 points a game they should be able to run up a score.
Carolina Panthers @ Minnesota Vikings
Under 42.5 (2 Units)
Carolina will start their seventh different offensive line combination of the season with RT Nate Chandler injured. The fluctuation has certainly contributed to the Panthers averaging just 3.7 yards per carry and QB Cam Newton getting sacked 32 times. The Vikings defensive front is the strength of the team and Minnesota will likely control field position in a low-scoring game unless Newton shows more explosion in his mobility. Vikings rookie QB Teddy Bridgewater has also been hampered by poor offensive line play so it's important for Bridgewater to get help from the ground game because his protection doesn't often hold up long enough for his pedestrian receivers to gain separation. With both team's having no time to complete passes they will rely on their mediocre ground games which won't always be effective which will run the clock down.

Timberwolves @ Blazers
Over 211.5 (2 Units)
Over the last five games, Minnesota has averaged almost 103 points per game and are one of top transition teams in the league. They are 4th in the league in fast break points, 5th in points scored off turnovers and play at the 2nd fasted pace in the league, this is largely due to the amount of steals they manage (8.6 per game). but they don't get back and defend in transition well and have gotten hammered in the paint this year. Like many young teams, they register a lot of steals but that's not necessarily a sign of a good defense. Theyve given up fewer than 113 points just once the last eight games, they allow easy ball movement, which in turn has led to 51 percent shooting from the floor and 43 percent from three-point range from their opponents..
