Badly needed winning wk. Despite all of the injuries, good ol’ Gase still managed to get blown out by SF. Bridgewater had an awful gm w/poor decision making & little accuracy w/his throws. If he just had an avg gm, CAR would’ve covered because Brady also struggled. GB is showing that they’re the team to beat up North as they slaughtered DET. The Lams took PHI to the woodshed in a well executed gm for Goff & co. Teaser hit w/a little stress from KC almost losing to LAC.

Regular Season POW 1-1, Teasers 1-1, GOY 0-0, Overall 4-6

NE -6 was a few yds short of a miraculous comeback @ SEA last wk. Scam Newton is realizing what Brady & any NE QB over the modern era got to enjoy. Great oline play, great gm planning by coaching staff, receivers making very little mistakes & running great routes. The only difference this yr is NE’s overall “D” isn’t very good, run gm is struggling esp w/out White, & the kicking gm is very un-Patriot like (Folk 1-3 FGs). But w/Brady gone, Newton adds so much more to the “O” to help mitigate those weaknesses. Stalwart center Andrews had surgery on his thumb, which is a huge loss to NE’s oline. But 1 thing I’ve come to learn is Belicheat is always prepared. Whoever he plugs in there will not dominate, but will also not be a glaring hole. LAV’s dline has spurts of great play, but overall struggles to consistently stop the run or pressure the QB. And as big of a loss Andrews is to NE, LAV has its own problems on the line. LG Incognito is out indefinitely w/a bad achilles, RT’s Sam Young & Denzelle Good are nursing injuries & not guaranteed to play, & big FA acquisition Trent Brown has yet to see the field. Vegas is razor thin along the oline & 1 injury to any of the starters Sunday could be all she wrote. Speedster rookie WR Ruggs is out as well. 2 of the Raiders other key weapons Jacobs (hip) & Waller (knee) are nursing injuries coming into NE. So the hype Derek Carr is receiving could come crashing down this Sunday if LAV is unable to overcome these injuries. Belicheat rarely loses back to back gms, so being @ hm while LAV is off a short wk & travelling cross-country, bodes well for the still dangerous Patsies.

LAV 20
NE 30
5 Units

GL to all & comments are most welcome.

Honorable Mentions:

1 Unit PIT -4: 0-2 teams in Wk 3 are very successful ATS. However, I’m counting on PIT also improving on “O” in Wk 3, w/Ben looking sharper every wk. Diontae Johnson & now rookie Chase Claypool is starting to make waves. Connor rebounded from a horrible Wk 1 performance, & All-Pro RG David DeCastro returns to anchor an already solid oline. Watson is really missing Hopkins, however in all fairness HOU opened the season against 2 SB favs. PIT’s “D” is very conquerable to BAL’s, so if Ben can lead a bunch of scoring drives w/a balanced “O”, this 1 shouldn’t be close.

1 Unit WAS/CLE Under 45: WAS’ “D” is not the problem there as Rivera has them playing @ a high level. Haskins is the issue. Even w/injuries on “D” for CLE, they should have enough to contain that anemic WAS “O”. And despite having so much talent on “O”, Mayfield is also proving to be struggling w/taking that next step. Both teams also have strong run gms, so I’m hoping both sides have long drives ending in FGs.

1 Unit CIN +4: Going out on a major limb here as the hapless Bungles take on the hapless Eagles. But w/Wentz’ play so far, injuries @ WR & now All-World DT Fletcher Cox likely to be out, this opens the window for Burrow to potentially get his 1[SUP]st[/SUP] NFL win. But I will gladly take a 3 pt loss as well.

1 Unit GB +3: This appears to be a major trap gm. Aaron Rodgers is tearing up the NFL, w/or w/out Davante Adams, & the other Aaron on the team is pacing things on the ground. Meanwhile, Drew Brees has looked every yr of his 41 yrs of age. Not having Michael Thomas is killing him. He was a major security blanket, & took all the coverage his way. Now RB Kamara is his most reliable receiver. Because of the struggles on “O”, the very good NOR “D” seem to be pressing a little which has led to some big plays. Does Payton have the balls to bring in Taysom Hill? That would change everything.

2 Unit Wormy Teaser

WAS/CLE Under 58
IND +½
DAL/SEA Over 43 ½

Thanks so much Varks. I was on the precipice of finally quitting this, until I calmed down & realized this is a very different season & couldn't rely on normal capping Wk 1.

Hope you hit this wk as well, bud!
