NFL Saturday's are officially here. This Saturdays slate has 3 games, 2 of which are divisional matchups. The game I have my eye on the most is Miami traveling to Buffalo. The Dolphins lived up to the hype in the 1H of the season and have dropped two straight. Buffalo is coming off an ugly win over the Jets and this win would all but solidify an AFC East divisional crown.

Michael Pittman Jr. (IND) over 5.5 receptions (-128)
If we take last week's matchup against the Cowboys out of consideration, Pittman has performed exceptionally well under interim HC Jeff Saturday. It has been a point of emphasis to get Pittman the ball through weeks 10-12, where he was 9,7,11 targets. He turned those opportunities into 7,6,7 receptions. The matchup this Saturday is with aging veteran Patrick Peterson and couldn't be a better one for Pittman in a bounce back game. According to PFF, the Vikings defense ranks 31st in PPR points allowed per game to opposing WRs and Peterson is allowing a passer rating of 120.8 on the outside. We've seen Peterson give up an 80% catch rate in 5 of the last 6 games. If the game script goes into the negative and the Vikings get out to an early lead, it can only help Pittman reach this number when the Colts start to play catchup. 1U
