Alabama (-3.5) vs. Purdue (-112)

The Crimson Tide have already knocked off one top-five team on the road this season, now they have a chance to do so at home. Alabama defeated No. 5 St. John's, 103-96, at Madison Square Garden on Saturday to move up seven spots in the rankings to No. 8 in the nation. Purdue opened the season as the No. 1 team in the nation, but after two uninspiring victories when they failed to cover the spreads against lower-level teams such as Evansville and Oakland, the Boilermakers dropped slightly to No. 2 in the polls. Sophomore guard Labaron Philon Jr. leads Alabama at 23.5 ppg this season, and after going 12-3 at home last season, the model projects Alabama to win and cover in another elite non-conference matchup. The model projects the Crimson Tide to cover in 61% of simulations. Back Alabama at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets and 3 free months of NBA League Pass:

Jets vs. Patriots: Over 43.5 total points (-108)

New England has the No. 8 scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 26.5 ppg this season, and it has scored at least 23 points in each contest during its seven-game winning streak. Drake Maye has been playing like one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in his second season, throwing multiple touchdown passes in five straight games. Although it's been a difficult season for the Jets at 2-7, New York has won two straight games by scoring 39 and 27 points. The Jets had two special teams touchdowns last week, so even if the offense sputters, New York has other ways to reach this total. The Over has hit in six of nine Jets games, and it has hit in each of the last four Patriots contests. The model projects the Over to hit in 74% of simulations. Back the Over at DraftKings Sportsbook, where new users get $300 in bonus bets and 3 free months of NBA League Pass:

Red Wings to defeat the Ducks (-130)

"Anaheim is light-years better than expected, but also perhaps a bit of a flat spot after coming up small Tuesday in a big game at Colorado," SportsLine expert Matt Severance said. "The Ducks lost 4-1 to see a seven-game winning streak snapped. When a team's long winning streak ends, it often goes into a mini-slump. In that run was a 5-2 home win over the Wings, who surely will remember that tonight."
