Dolphins +7.5 -115 appeals against a Patriots offense missing A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs and Mack Hollins. TreVeyon Henderson is also out, leaving New England short at receiver and running back. 30-17 (63.8%) last 47 NFL picks Miami has allowed 3.8 yards per carry on 172 opponent rushes through 6 games. Without Henderson, New England has less depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson against that run defense. The Dolphins ran for 156 yards against the Jets. They kept the ball for the final 3:17, converting fourth-and-1 on a Malik Willis sneak to finish the win. Willis also threw for 208 yards and 2 touchdowns without an interception. His 63-yard touchdown to Caleb Douglas gave Miami a two-score lead in the fourth quarter.

Buffalo has averaged 32.8 points scored and 28.5 allowed through six games. Four of the Bills' last five games finished above 54 total points. Lamar Jackson practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday after missing three games with an ankle injury. He's averaged 10.1 yards per pass attempt this season. If he returns, he'll face a Bills defense that has allowed 15 passing touchdowns in six games. Josh Allen gets a Baltimore defense that allowed touchdowns on five straight second-half drives against Cincinnati last Sunday. Allen has averaged 8.8 yards per pass attempt and rushed for 8 touchdowns through six games. Buffalo has also allowed late scoring in consecutive games: 20 fourth-quarter points to the Rams and 10 to the Raiders. I'm taking Ravens-Bills Over 54. picksoffice.com/telegram

Milwaukee's offensive rebounding is the reason for Bucks +9.5 against Cleveland. The Cavaliers allowed Atlanta 15 offensive rebounds Thursday. 36-20 (64.3%) last 56 NBA picks Kel'el Ware grabbed 5 offensive rebounds off the bench against Indiana on Monday and another 5 against Houston on Wednesday. The Bucks scored 24 second-chance points against Indiana and 19 against Houston. Reserve AJ Green made 3 of 5 threes Wednesday. Milwaukee has had two days off since Wednesday's home game. Cleveland played Wednesday and Thursday, then travels from Atlanta to Milwaukee.

The Chargers have allowed at least 22 points in each of their six games. Matthew Stafford gets that defense after the Rams scored 35 at Las Vegas, including 28 before halftime. 30-17 (63.8%) last 47 NFL picks Stafford has thrown for 1,989 yards through seven games. Against the Raiders, he threw 3 touchdowns while Kyren Williams and Blake Corum combined for 192 rushing yards on 33 carries. Chargers safety Derwin James missed practice Wednesday and Thursday after a setback in his rehab. Jim Harbaugh said injured reserve was a possibility. Justin Herbert faces a Rams front without Kobie Turner, Poona Ford and Myles Garrett, all on injured reserve. Garrett's practice window won't open this week. Ladd McConkey practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday following his concussion. Rams games have produced 329 total points through seven games, an average of 47. I'm on Chargers-Rams Over 44.5. picksoffice.com/telegram

Buffalo's top line outchanced Anaheim 8-2 on Thursday. Tage Thompson, Peyton Krebs and Zach Benson are projected together again against the Kings. Sabres ML puts Buffalo's power play against a Los Angeles penalty kill that entered Thursday ranked 32nd in the NHL. The Kings had allowed a power-play goal in 4 of their 5 games on the preceding road trip. Buffalo scored twice on the power play in Anaheim. Los Angeles then allowed another power-play goal to Ottawa that night. Against Ottawa, the Kings gave up 4 third-period goals after leading 5-1. A failed clearing attempt preceded the first goal, and Ottawa tied it with the goalie pulled.
