Lehigh Extends FCS Winning Streak to 13 Games with Victory Over Fordham

The Seattle Seahawks are currently tied atop the NFC West with a 5-2 record and are positioned well for a Wild Card spot, following a two-game winning streak during their bye week. They would benefit from certain teams winning this week, such as the Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers, and Baltimore Ravens, to improve their playoff positioning and potential tiebreakers within the NFC. Meanwhile, in the AFC, the Cleveland Browns face the New England Patriots, with the Patriots favored by seven points and holding a strong division lead. The Browns are rebuilding and rely heavily on quarterback Dillon Gabriel, while the Patriots boast one of the best run defenses in the league. Additionally, notable individual performances include Lehigh's James Conway breaking the NCAA FCS career tackles record and Georgetown securing a close victory with key defensive and offensive contributions. Betting trends suggest serious bettors are analyzing disparities in public versus sharp money bets, particularly for the Browns vs. Patriots game, highlighting strategic wagering dynamics.
