13:11— Indianapolis Colts -4 at Jacksonville Jaguars  — Colts are surging, laying four on the road even against the hapless Jags?

23:37 — Kansas City Chiefs -14.5 at Oakland Raiders — Careful here, KC doesn’t care if they win just by 10, they want to get in and get out unscathed.

38:30 — Carolina Panthers -3.5 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Only bettors are watching this game. Are the Bucs a decent play here?

39:50 — Minnesota Vikings +5 at New England Patriots — With less than a touchdown at home, is the play the Patriots? A rare line plummet for the Pats at home, but the Vikings are a good team.

43:07 — Washington Redskins +6.5 at Philadelphia Eagles  — The NFC East is a bad division, but you have to bet Monday night games. Books will likely need Redskins money.
