Las Vegas Review-Journal (Sunday)

Saints (8-2) at Broncos (4-6)

-

Dolphins (6-4) at Jets (0-10)

■ Time: 10 a.m.

■ Line/total: Dolphins -6 ½½ , 44

■ Analysis: I’ll take the Jets and cross my fingers while pinching my eyes tight. The Jets have resembled an NFL team in their last two games with chances to beat the Chargers and Patriots. New York is a much better team when Denzel Mims, Jamison Crowder and Breshad Perriman are on the field at the same time, as they will be Sunday. I expect Sam Darnold to take some shots early to alleviate Miami’s pressure up front.

■ By the numbers: The Dolphins are on a 9-19-1 spread slump after scoring fewer than 15 points in their previous game. … The Jets are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as home underdogs. … The over is 7-1 in Miami’s last eight games after a loss.

■ Pick: Dolphins 26, Jets 21

■ Time: 1:05 p.m., KVVU-5

■ Line/total: Saints -6 ½½ , 42

■ Analysis: New Orleans has been on a defensive roll since its bye week. The Saints have held four of their last five opponents to fewer than 300 yards of total offense and have given up one touchdown in their past three games. Running backs Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay must find success against the Saints’ stout run defense for Denver to stay close. I’m encouraged enough by the play of the Broncos’ offensive line to back them.

■ By the numbers: Denver is on a 14-5-1 under streak after a win and 14-6 under run at home. … New Orleans is 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings.

■ Saints 21, Broncos 17 ½½
