If the Bears was an upset, and I'm not saying it wasn't, then the Giants and Seahawks games were miracles, its just three teams stating that they aren't as bad as everyone says they are but Titans, Broncos and 49ers, you have some issues to fix. The Panthers got robbed by the zebras on a no call 15 yd penalty on that fake spike by the Browns that would have push them out of FG range and would have cost them the game as well as the line cover. I hate the over/under. On to next week.
Last week: 4-11 (26%)
Tampa Bay (-2.5) at New Orleans (U44)
Do the Saints still have the Bucs number and keep their recent dominance over them alive? The Bucs moved the ball against the Cowboys but struggled in the red zone, the defense on the other hand did not. The Saints survived the lowly Falcons. Talent is in favor of the Bucs while the Saints are without Drew Brees this time.
Indianapolis at Jacksonville (+3) (U45)
Who will triumph? stability or talent? The old or the new? The Colts had everything to win against the Texans but didn't. The Jaguars have talent to be good but haven't gotten it together yet. I'm going with the points but I don't trust either of these teams.
Miami (+3.5) at Baltimore (O44.5)
Tua Tagovailoa can do damage with the team he is surrounded with, but he cant carry this team. Baltimore has Lamar Jackson that can carry his team a has, but on this game the Ravens have a hampered secondary to try and stop a potent Dolphins WR group and still they are favored, gimme the points.
New England at Pittsburgh (+2.5) (U40.5)
Those are the Patriots I wanted to see, boring and lost. The Steelers will be without T.J. Watt for half of the season but are still very good at defense, the offense on the other hand is still on evaluation but to have the Patriots as favorites is a joke.
Carolina (+2) at NY Giants (U43.5)
The Panthers with Baker Mayfield are not the dominant team I thought they were going to be, at least I didn't see it against the Browns who have a very good defensive group, still Mayfield was all over the place with his throws. The Giants won because the Titans couldn't get out of their on way and Brian Daboll went YOLO, how many games can they win that way?
Washington at Detroit (-1.5) (O48)
OK so Carson Wentz can still throw the ball, who knew, makes the Commanders look even more dangerous. The Lions on the other hand are a no quit team, they might win some with that mentality but still they have too much talent to just win because of effort.
NY Jets at Cleveland (-6.5) (U39.5)
Oh Jets, if you only had a QB, I get you so well. Hmm this might be a battle of defenses but I would choice Nick Chubb over any RB the Jets have.
Atlanta at LA Rams (-10) (O46.5)
I cant pick the Falcons to cover against the Super Bowl champs, not when I said they are my candidate for worst team this year, Atlanta is blessed to have Cordarrelle Patterson on their team but Marcus Mariota can only do so much as a QB.
Seattle (+9.5) at San Francisco (U40.5)
The Seahawks impressed especially QB Geno Smith, Seattle's defense might have helped themselves from some of Russel Wilson's history from his Seahawks days and of course they had plenty of help from the Broncos bogus play calling and clock management. Still I believed before the season started that Seattle's defense isn't that bad, if Trey Lance still isn't NFL ready, the Seahawks can manage to cover this line.
Cincinnati (-7) at Dallas (U42)
Joe Borrow turned the ball over 5 times, 4 by interception against the Steelers, was it rust by not participating all preseason or still recovering his legs from the operation he had or a reality check or the the new revamped Oline still getting to gel or all the above, still the Bengals almost came back to win that game, talent isn't the problem but that Oline does need to play better against the Cowboys defensive front seven which is the only thing going for them, shaky secondary as is the running game and injured receiver group with the backup QB throwing to them, the Bengals have no excuse really unless you believe Micah Parsons can do it on his own.
Arizona at Las Vegas (-5.5) (U51.5)
OK Cardinals what's wrong, you usually look like this at mid season, you want to try a 180 and see if you can reach the playoffs full throttle? Actually that's not a bad idea considering you will get DeAndre Hopkins in week 6, can you survive until then though? You got mushed by the Chiefs and put up garbage point, the Raiders got run over by the Charger, the Chargers almost had the Chiefs until they broke Justin Herbert, so what's my point? They both have problems but one has Davante Adams and the other doesn't.
Houston at Denver (-10) (U45)
Broncos you only need to score and you win, think about it. The Texans have fight but the Broncos are too good to lose to them just like they were too good to lose to the Seahawks but did, are the Broncos the new Vikings?
Chicago (+10) at Green Bay (U41.5)
The Bears wont have it easy winning this one and all the media say they cant but recent evens tell otherwise, the Packers looked way off against a good Vikings team, the Bears managed to contain a playoff caliber team, so even if the Bears cant pull it off, 10 points is a lot.
Tennessee at Buffalo (-10) (U47.5)
The Titans botched a win and now come in to Buffalo to get punished for their mistakes.
Minnesota at Philadelphia (-2) (O50.5)
This looks to be a great game, I'm going with the Eagles to put major point against an old but savvy Vikings defense, the Vikings will make it close with a potent offense but the Eagles have the man power on defense to keep it marginal.
