Sunday slates tend to have games spread throughout the day, and that’s the case again here. We have nine in total, with six making up the night slate beginning at 7:00 pm ET. Many of the road teams are expected to be favorites, leading to some fascinating spreads. With that in mind, let’s get into it!
