I see a lot of people picking two teams:
Green Bay
NYG
GB hasn't scored more than 13 points since losing starting QB Aaron Rodgers, now they are favorites of more than a FG over Minnesota. Since they don't seem to be able to score, a favorite - especially of more than a FG seems way off base to me. They lost games without AR to Phila and the NYG. Sure they play Minn, a team with documented QB issues and running back AP has a groin issue, but 4 points with Scott Tolzien?
Leading me to the NYG, a 2½ point favorite over Dallas. Even though the G-Men's defense has salvaged the season, they beat a string of teams with shitty QBs: Minn (a team with no established QB), Phila (against a hobbled Foles), Oakland (against an injured Pryor), and GB (see above). At home against a QB that CAN be effective, but has issues seems to be a coin toss at best.
Thoughts?
