Underdog Vikings visit Atlanta poised to reclaim NFC North lead

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Indianapolis Colts

Meanwhile, Tampa Bay Buccaneers will try to close the gap on the Falcons in the tightening NFC Wild Card race, when they visit Indianapolis Colts as 2.5-point favourites.

The Bucs moved into playoff contention last weekend with their biggest win of the season, taking down struggling Philadelphia Eagles by a 45-17 score, notching the outright win as 6.5-point road underdogs.

That SU victory, Tampa’s fourth in the last six, improves their record to 5-5 on the season, while their current 5-1 ATS run, which includes four victories as underdogs, has made them an attractive bet.

The Colts continued the streaky play that has marked their campaign, picking up a 24-21 victory in Atlanta last weekend, their second straight win following a three-game losing skid, but are a middling 2-3 SU and ATS in their last five at home.

New Orleans Saints @ Houston Texans

Indianapolis must also be concerned with Houston Texans, who join them atop the AFC South standings, and ride a three-game win streak into their clash with New Orleans Saints.

Pegged as 3-point favourites over the Saints, the Texans have been ferocious on defense during their current hot streak, holding opponents to just 244 yards and 9.7 points per game.

Houston have been less than prolific offensively, tallying over 250 total yards just once in their last four.

The Texans have also dropped six straight to the division rival Colts, 0-5-1 ATS, losing by over nine points per game during that stretch.

San Diego Chargers @ Jacksonville Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars (4-6) will be looking to stay in the thick of the AFC South race with a third straight victory, as they host San Diego Chargers as 4.5-point favourites.

Led by an increasingly confident Blake Bortles under center, the Jags are undefeated in their last four ATS and, with a relatively easy schedule down the stretch, make for an intriguing 11/2 wager to win their NFL division.
