Vikings +6.5
I hate that 0.5 from 7 but feel the vikings are a little underrated with Percy Harvin playing out of his mind, Simpson coming back off suspension, Rudolph a reliable contributer where it's needed and that AP character all up against a weak lions D. Oh, and ponder not as bad as you'd think. Yes, I see the injury report but looks like they're all playing.
Lions have stafford questionable but a good backup with Hill and the best WR in football. Leshoure showed he's ready to start and will produce but this will be a hard defense to run against.
I believe in the points.
Seattle -2.5
People seem to think seattle will be riding high from their big win... I do not. The win was controversial enough to have people saying they did not deserve it. They did not earn it. They will have the opposite going into st louis with a chip on their shoulder.
Seattle does have a very very good defense. Ranked #6 total in the NFL facing the rams defense #24. "But the offense looked weak against the pack" I also hear. Pack ranked #5 in defense... They are not the rams.
Add to that the rams line injuries and the questionable steven jackson and you are nuts to overreact to the ref debacle of monday night but many people will overreact ignoring the other 59 minutes of the game. Love the 0.5 pts.
9'ers -4
Revis is gone. That'll be a mental and physical blow to the team. The 9'ers stayed in Youngstown to practice so do not have the full west to east coast travel.
I am not sure how the Jets score here.
Let's compare:
Running offense and defense
Jets - Their running back is terrible. Shonne Green is not good. Jets #28 against the run already giving up 4 td's.
SF - Frank Gore is playing very well #8 among rb's. Their defense is #8 against the run letting up only a single td to whom? QB Ponder shutting down AP from the endzone.
Passing offense and defense
Jets are 11, SF 13. Both let up 5 td's. Which one will do worse this week? Hmmmm revis
Who did the jets give up to? Tannehill, Big Ben and fitzpatrick
Who did the 9'ers give up to? Rodgers, Stafford and Ponder.
Jets coming off an emotional hard division win (where they should have lost) and the 9'ers coming off a let down game I think they bounce back here.
Give me the 9'ers
Redskins +3
Tampa Bay looks like it has a good D but they can get lit up in the air. In fact, both teams can get lit up in the air. #32 TB, #31 Wash.Offensively washington is #11 in passing and Bucs #29.
#1 run D to redskins #2 run offense. Tampa Bay's #22 run offense to Redskins #9 run D. Redskins have a terrible D but they have a strong offense. I think Redskins offense > bucs D +3.
Redskins/TB Over 47
Redskins yet to have a game under 59 total points. Bucs are 26, 75, 26 game total points. It'll go over
Chiefs -1
So hard to put my trust back into this team. I do believe they have the pieces and are capable of being a good team. That saints game and the embarrassment of weeks 1 and 2 may be what they needed to light a fire under them. Week 1 atlanta came in and torched them but they also torched SD and despite the score Denver.
I don't believe in san diego yet. Like I mentioned last week, who have they played? Their 1 road game the raiders begged them to blow them... out but the chargers were held to field goals. The next week they demolished a pretty weak titans team at home and then were outplayed by the falcons.
I like the chiefs to win at home.
Maybe do more, maybe not
sadly only 16-24 with a bad start to the season but looking to get back into the swing as a grasp on this year's NFL begins to take hold.
Good luck!
