Cincinnati Bengals @ Arizona Cardinals
Joe Burrow is clearly not healthy. The calf injury that he re-aggravated two weeks ago has turned Burrow into a below-average passer, and we all see it. At what point do the Bengals admit it and sit the superstar quarterback? In four games, Burrow is completing just 57.6% of his passes and has as many touchdown passes as he does interceptions (two). That has resulted in Cincinnati starting the season 1-3 and in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in three years.
Arizona has quarterback issues of its own. Injured starter Kyler Murray was not activated off the PUP list on Monday when he was first eligible. The 26-year-old hasn’t even practiced since tearing his ACL late last year against New England. Current starter Joshua Dobbs came over from the Browns in an offseason trade. While he’s been efficient since, completing nearly 71% of his passes, the former backup is averaging just over 200 yards per game through the air. Neither of these offenses instill any confidence, and I don’t expect to see them lighting up the scoreboard Sunday.
Bet: Under 44.5 (-106)

#12 Oklahoma Sooners @ #3 Texas Longhorns
- Leg 1: Over 60.5 (-110)
- Leg 2: Dillion Gabriel Over 265.5 Passing Yards(-114)
- Leg 3: Xavier Worthy Over 73.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
The Red River Rivalry has a high level of excitement as each team ranks in the top 12. Last year, this game was a thrashing by the Longhorns as they coasted to a 49-0 victory. You must note that Oklahoma was without Dillion Gabriel in the lineup. Although both defenses have impressive stats, the offenses will put on a show.
Gabriel is the prime example of consistency and has more than 3,000 passing yards and 25 touchdowns in three of his four seasons. As mentioned, Gabriel didn’t play in this game last year due to an injury, which was evident in the final score. I’m anticipating a fantastic performance to make this game competitive.
Xavier Worthy has been an excellent target for Quinn Ewers and has 75 or more receiving yards and a touchdown in three of five games this year. Oklahoma’s total defense ranking numbers are skewed due to how good the run defense is, but nonetheless, their pass defense is 51st yards allowed per game.
Parlay Odds: +335
