James Jones made the most of his two catches last week, finding the end zone from 65 yards out for his team-leading fifth touchdown reception. Fellow wideout Davante Adams (ankle) practiced on both Wednesday and Thursday this week and is in line to return to action for the first time since exiting early in a 38-28 victory over Kansas City on Sept. 28. Running back Eddie Lacy, who has also been hobbled by an ailing ankle this season, rushed just 13 times for 27 yards against the Rams.

Green Bay was a 24-10 winner in its last match at home against the Rams. They covered the -8.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 34 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

After reeling in his 100th and 101st touchdown receptions on Monday, tight end Antonio Gates needs three more receptions to become the 32nd player in NFL history to reach 800. Gates reeled in nine catches for 92 yards and two scores in his first contest since serving a four-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs. Rookie running back Melvin Gordon, who is from Kenosha, Wis., rushed for only 42 yards versus the Steelers but his seven receptions for 52 yards eclipsed his previous four-game total (six, 34 yards).

The Chargers were a 24-20 loser in their most recent outing at home against the Steelers. They failed to cover the -4-point spread as favorites, while the total score (44) made winners of UNDER bettors.

Labeling his team’s performance as “embarrassing,” Peterson rushed for 31 yards on only 10 carries in his first game since missing more than a year while dealing with child abuse allegations. Minnesota defensive end Everson Griffen provided bulletin-board material with his proclamation on Wednesday. “We’re going to beat Detroit,” Griffen told reporters. “I’m very angry right now, as you can see, because we prepared way too hard (to lose on Monday). But we’re going to go out there and get ’em.”

Minnesota lost its last outing, a 20-3 result against the 49ers on September 14. The Vikings failed to cover in that game as a -3-point favorite, while the 23 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

Team record: 0-1 SU,0-1 ATS

Calvin Johnson was held in check last Sunday with just two catches for 39 yards, but could break out in a big way against Minnesota. The veteran wideout recorded an amazing 207-yard performance versus the Vikings in 2012 and has four touchdowns in his last five meetings. Rookie Ameer Abdullah rushed for a 24-yard touchdown on his first carry against the Chargers and looks to take advantage of a Vikings defense that was torched for 168 yards by 49ers running back Carlos Hyde.

Last time out for Detroit, they were a 33-28 loser as they battled the Chargers on the road. The Lions failed to cover in the match as a +3.5-point underdog, while 61 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Oddsmakers currently have the Patriots listed as 1½-point favorites versus the Bills, while the game’s total is sitting at 45.

Ryan has reason to be confident after Buffalo manhandled the other AFC finalists from a season ago, the Indianapolis Colts, in a 27-14 victory in Week 1. The defense was a big part of that success, but the offense was firing on all cylinders as well behind Tyrod Taylor, who went 14-of-19 for 195 yards and a touchdown while adding 41 yards on the ground after winning the starting quarterback job in camp. “Each week is going to be a challenge, and I’m confident in my guys to go out there and take the challenge head on,” Taylor told reporters. “We’re confident as a team and we’re just going to go out there and play ball.”

The Bills were a 27-14 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Colts. They covered the +1-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (41) made winners of UNDER bettors.

Team record: 1-0 SU,1-0 ATS
Buffalo is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games
Buffalo is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Buffalo’s last 9 games
Buffalo is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games at home

Quarterback Tom Brady is used to hearing Ryan talk in the week leading up to games and takes the jabs in stride. “The games are won by what you do over the course of the week and how you go about your preparation so that you can be prepared for the game on Sunday,” Brady told reporters. “He’s a great coach. He’s obviously got them confident.” Brady, who said the Bills had “probably the best D-line in football,” showed no signs of any wear in his game following a summer spent defending his reputation and completed 19 passes in a row at one point en route to a 25-of-32, 288-yard, four-TD performance in the opener.

New England won its last outing, a 28-21 result against the Steelers on September 10. The Patriots earned a push in that game as a -7-point favorite, while the 49 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

Team record: 1-0 SU,0-0-1 ATS
New England is 2-3-1 ATS in its last 6 games
New England is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games
The total has gone UNDER in 7 of New England’s last 10 games
New England is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games on the road
