The fifth week in the National Football League concludes with one game for Monday Night Football. The Kansas City Chiefs play at home against the Las Vegas Raiders on ESPN at 8:15 PM ET. The Chiefs return home after a 41-31 upset victory at Tampa Bay as a 2-point underdog last Sunday night. The Raiders ended their three-game losing streak with a 32-23 win at home against Denver as a 2.5-point favorite last Sunday. Kansas City is a 7-point favorite, with the total set at 51.5 (all odds from DraftKings unless indicated otherwise).
Week 18 in the Canadian Football League concludes with one game. The Montreal Alouettes host the Ottawa Redblacks on ESPN2 at 1 PM ET. The Alouettes are on a three-game winning streak after their 25-18 victory at Edmonton last Saturday as a 2-point favorite. Montreal won the game despite getting outgained, 375-295, in yardage. A 100-yard interception return for a touchdown by the Alouettes defense in the fourth quarter was the play of the game by preventing the Elks from taking a two-score lead and providing them their eventual winning margin. Trevor Harris completed 14 of 17 passes for 180 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. Montreal raised their record to 7-7 with the victory, placing them in second place in the East Division.
The Redblacks have lost three in a row after a 34-19 loss at British Columbia as a 5.5-point underdog on September 30th. Nick Arbuckle completed 27 of 36 passes for 363 yards, with a touchdown pass and an interception in the losing effort. Ottawa’s 3-11 record puts them in last place in the East Division.
These two teams split their two prior meetings this season. The Alouettes won the first game, 40-33, as a 2-point road favorite on July 21st. The Redblacks avenged that loss with a 38-24 upset victory on September 22nd as a 4-point road underdog. Montreal is a 6.5-point favorite with an over/under of 47.5.
Matchweek 10 in the English Premier League finishes with one match. Aston Villa travels to Nottingham Forest on the USA Network at 3 PM ET. The Villans are unbeaten in their last three matches, with a victory against Southampton during that stretch. They last played on Sunday of last week in a 0-0 draw at Leeds United. Aston Villa is in 16th place in the EPL table with eight points. They have two victories and two draws in their eight matches. A win in this match moves them to ninth place in the standings.
The Forest opened their first year promoted to the top flight by earning a win and a draw in their first three matches. They are on a five-game losing streak after a 4-0 loss at Leicester City last Monday. Nottingham Forest is tied for 19th place with the Foxes, who pulled out of last place with that win against them. A victory for the Forest would lift them into a tie for 17th place and the last spot for relegation at the end of the season.
Aston Villa is a -0.5 goal line road favorite at BetMGM with a total of 2.5.
