TEAMS WORTH LOOKING AT….
The top favorite was worth taking last week as LAR had it on auto-pilot the whole game…This week, the same scenario is happening again.
BUFF @ MINN…A 16-point favorite, at home vs. a POS team, with a QB starting his 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] game, vs a very good defense, in a stadium that is as loud as a rock concert. Oh yeah, the home team just TIED their arch-rival, and has a lot urine flavor to get out of their mouths, because they are pissed they didn’t beat GB. This is a game the guys with 10-20 picks might go all in on as how can they lose?! Well, they could, but I won’t blame anyone for putting one of your picks on this one.
SF @ KC…Like I said on my POW play, I drank gallons of MahomesAid, and mixed it with bourbon and Mountain Dew for a beverage that makes me feel like I can throw for 10-TD’s in my first two games!!! Against 10-year old…Girls. Ugh. --- KC is a verrrry tough place to play, and I’m not sure if Jimmy Jesus will find his footing on the road at the Thunderdome without a roof. SF did get a feel for the noise at MINN, but if KC’s offense can roll on an average SF D, they could get out to a good sized early lead. The more video there is on Mahomes, the more DC’s will figure out how to defend him, but we’ll see if this is the week they find the defense to slow him down.
INDY @ PHILLY…Wentz is back in the saddle after a lot of time out of it. Rusty? Lots of reps help, but game action is another story. They played well vs. ATL who lost the game more than PHILLY winning it IMHO, but went into the ditch at TB where I think the heat could have played a roll. I feel like PHILLY will come off the loss and play hard for their (New?) leader at QB. INDY will play hard, but 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] game in-a-row for the Colts. Possibly a more of a ‘Dangerous but a maybe’ kind of thing…
NYG @ HOU…I like this one as one of my picks this week as NYG looked lost at DAL, and another trip back to Texas isn’t the answer to finding out what’s wrong with their offense. HOU played crappy, but stayed in the opener at NE, they were in the game at TENN, and fell just short, but I think Watson will finally break out of his malaise and lead them to a win over an NYG team that looks to be in preseason mode still.
NE @ DET…Well, Josh Gordon will get enough practice time to help make a difference in this one, as NE crapped their pants at JAX last week, and will be taking a big step down in the defense they’ll be up against. I don’t bet against NE coming off a loss. It’s a roadie, and there are a few other games to look at, but I guess make a decision on if you think Stafford can make some hay against the NE D and go from there. I know Brady will find a way to make hay vs the DET D.
GB @ WASH…Mr. Rodgers has played great two weeks in-a-row, and now goes on the road vs. a very average WASH team. It’s a roadie, and not the type of roadie I will be on, but I like GB in this spot coming off the tie.
TENN @ JAX…Will there be any hangover from beating up on the forces from the Darkside last week as they sent Lord Bellacheat back home with his lightsaber between his legs. TENN isn’t great competition, but JAX can’t take their foot off the gas if they want to be considered an elite team this year. They know they can make another run deep into the playoffs and need home field to make it happen.
Lightening in a Bortles!
