Houston at Tennessee (-3) (42)
Betting on two bad football teams is never good. Houston has won 2 out of their last 3 and look better. I like Carr over Young at this point in their careers.
Houston 24…Tennessee 17
Jax at Philly (-7) (42.5)
Philly has looked good even in defeat. All 3 of thosegames were games they should have won. It can be argued they should be 7-0. Just a handful of plays can decide the season for teams. Jax got rolled by Houston last week. Either take Philly or pass the game.
Philly 30…Jax 20
Atlanta at Cincinnati (-3.5) (44)
The Falcons can run the ball and do it very well. They got rocked on defense last week. I expect this to be a high scoring affair. I also see the Falcons exploiting the Bengals rush defense as Carolina could not do it.
Atlanta 28…Cincinnati 24
Tampa Bay at NY Giants (-9) (40.5)
I know 9 points is a lot but the Bucs are going to get rolled on the road. 2 impressive wins and they were at home…they will not make it 3 in a row. Look at the line…they are begging you to take the Bucs.
NY Giants 34…Tampa Bay 14
San Fran at Chicago (-16) (42)
So now the line is fully caught up with the Bears…make it ridiculous so people will stop betting on them as much. SF has a decent offense and I think they might keep it closer than some think.
Chicago 20…San Fran 16
Arizona at Green Bay (-4) (44.5)
Leinart was busy showing baby pictures of Cody this week…he’s not ready to play. He’s thinking of other things. The colder it gets in GB the more I like them, pay attention to the weather report.
Green Bay 20…Arizona 13
Seattle at Kansas City (-6) (38.5)
The Chiefs will roll in this game. The Seahawks are without their starting RB and QB, forget it.
KC 27…Seattle 14
Baltimore at NO (-2) (37)
I pass the game for the most part. Go Saints!!!
NO 17…Baltimore 14
St Louis at San Diego (-9.5) (45.5)
No way the Chargers cover this line. IN fact with a bye week and time to think about that awful loss they sustained against Seattle 2 weeks ago, I expect the Rams to be very focused on this game. It’s my upset of the week.
St Louis 24…San Diego 21
Pittsburgh (-9) at Oakland (38.5)
Big Ben, Batch, doesn’t matter…the Steelers defense will outscore the Raiders by themselves.
Pitt 30…Oakland 10
NY Jets at Cleveland (-1.5) (38)
The Browns are just plain awful. Why are they favored against a team that can actually move the ball. Jets win.
NY Jets 21…Cleveland 17
Indy at Denver (-2.5) (39.5)
How often is Indy an underdog…lot of respect form the bookies for the Denver defense. It’s pretty good but Champ Bailey can’t play both CB positions can he? Can Lynch play the run, play the deep ball, and cover Clark and Utect underneath at the same time? I see so many mismatches for Indy and they looked razor sharp in the 2nd half last week.
Now the bad news is the game is being played outside and it snowed a lot this week in Denver…may be beautiful by kickoff but you never know. Still I am tempted to take Indy and the points.
Indy 24…Denver 17
Dallas at Carolina (-5.5) (41)
Stay away from this game.
Carolina 20…Dallas 17
New England (-2) at Minnesota (38.5)
Vikes are good but they’re not quite as good as it looked on Sunday. I look for them to have a letdown after winning on the road last week. NE is playing solid right now, look for them to pull this out on MNF.
New England 20…Minnesota 17
My top3 plays for the week will be
KC -6
St Louis +9.5
Indy +2.5
Have a great weekend everyone, good luck, and remember to always protect your unit.
