Kris Knox took the 3.5 with the Rams, reminding readers that last year’s playoff meeting came down to the final drive and insisting Sean McVay’s roster is stronger now. He pointed to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams stretching a ‘revamped’ Eagles secondary still adjusting to new coordinator Kevin Patullo, while Aaron Donald & Co. can force Jalen Hurts into obvious passing downs by squeezing the run. Knox added that back-to-back East-Coast trips usually worry him, but Philadelphia’s offensive transition should create just enough hiccups for Los Angeles to cover and possibly steal the outright win.

Kris Knox laid the –3 with Kansas City, predicting Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes enter 2025 eager to re-establish an "explosive" identity after a relatively quiet 2024. Knox called left-tackle Rashawn Slater’s foot injury a season-long problem that will surface immediately against Chris Jones & Co., jeopardizing Justin Herbert’s timing. With the Chargers’ offensive cornerstone missing and no weather concerns on the Brazilian pitch, Knox sees Mahomes’ ceiling outpacing L.A.’s and expects K.C. to clear the short number.
