The Fanvest Five

Each week our team of analysts will select their five favorite plays of the week and the record will be tracked in this article.

We rode the favorites last week and a 4–1 showing brings our YTD return to 10%.

We’re taking a few big shots this week with four underdogs and one short favorite.

Sunday 1:00pm: Indianapolis Colts ($FBX 58.23) @ Houston Texans

With a top-5 defense and a well-balanced offense, only the league’s best teams can hang with IND. While HOU has shown they are a team on the rise after firing Bill O’Brien, they haven’t faced a team as well put together as IND. Fanvestors focused on safety should make IND one of their top W13 targets.

Sunday 1:00pm: Jacksonville Jaguars ($FBX 20.47) @ Minnesota Vikings

No fanvestor should discount a potential 500% ROI, even with how poorly JAX has looked as of late. With Kirk Cousins under center anything can happen, even a Jaguars road upset.

Sunday 1:00pm: Cleveland Browns ($FBX 33.03) @ Tennessee Titans

Even with Baker Mayfield’s struggles, CLE has a strong enough roster to win this game in dominant fashion. Unless TEN can stop the dynamic backfield duo of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, the Browns will be one of the top underdog fanvestment options of W13.

Sunday 1:00pm: Los Angeles Rams @ Arizona Cardinals ($FBX 42.86)

Kyler Murray as a home underdog? Still firmly in the hunt for a division title, the Cardinals need this win to keep pace with SEA. As the better QB at home, fanvestors should relish the opportunity to get ARI at a reduced price with the way Kyler Murray has played this season.

Sunday 1:00pm: Buffalo Bills @ San Francisco 49ers ($FBX 44.41)

The 49ers may be outmatched talent wise, but they have a decisive coaching advantage and are playing at home against a team that’s traveled cross-country. Kyle Shanahan will need every trick in the book to keep SF alive for a playoff spot, and there’s no better time than prime time for SF to show they are still a contender.
