Game Context:
Carolina is resting both Bryce Young and Andy Dalton, leaving Jack Plummer and Bryce Perkins to run the show. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, will roll with Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson. The Steelers are also expected to give partial starter reps outside of Rodgers, Watt, and Heyward, who are sitting.

Best Bet: Steelers -4.5
Pittsburgh has the clear QB and roster depth edge.

Alternate Lean: Under 36.5
Panthers’ reserve offense may struggle to sustain drives, keeping scoring modest.

Game Context:
New England is expected to sit most starters, limiting or excluding Drake Maye. That leaves Joshua Dobbs and deeper backups in charge. The Giants, meanwhile, are leaning on Jaxson Dart (who’s had a strong preseason) along with Jameis Winston.

Best Bet: Giants -6.5
New York’s QB depth should control the game from start to finish.

Alternate Lean: Under 37.5
With both staffs focusing on evaluation and most starters out, stalled drives could keep scoring lower than expected.
