MIAMI DOLPHINS (-2.5) over Washington Commanders
The Commanders aren’t the same team without Jayden Daniels.
In four games without their star quarterback, Washington has lost three times by a touchdown or more while squeaking out a win over the 2-7 Raiders.
Their defense has been rough this season, and with Daniels sidelined, they just don’t have the firepower to keep up.
The Commanders’ run defense, in particular, has struggled in recent weeks, giving up 154 yards on the ground per game over their last three games, including 226 last week against the Lions.
On Sunday, they’re taking on Devon Achane and the Dolphins, who have turned their season around after all looked lost early on.
Over their last three games, the Dolphins have gotten upset wins over the Falcons and Bills while allowing just 51 total points.
Look for Achane to run wild and the Dolphins to secure an easy win.

Houston Texans (-6) over TENNESSEE TITANS
It can’t get much worse in Tennessee.
The Titans are 1-8 coming off their bye week, with their only win being perhaps the luckiest in all of football this season when they came back against the Cardinals during Week 5.
They’ve yet to score more than 22 points in a game this season, and they’ll take on one of the fiercest defenses in football on Sunday.
The Texans have allowed an NFL-low 16.7 points per game, and that’s after their worst showing of the season last week against the Jaguars.
Betting on the NFL?
As of this writing, it doesn’t appear C.J. Stroud will be ready to return from a concussion he suffered two weeks ago, but Davis Mills has been better than expected in his place.
Last week, Mills completed 27-of-45 passes for 292 yards, helping the Texans erase a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit to shock Jacksonville.
It should be a bit more painless in Nashville this week.
LAST WEEK: 1-1.
2025 SEASON: 10-10.
