Overall: 20-12 Spreads: 5-4
Bills 24, Chargers 23 --- The Chargers proved last week that they are a very good team. The Bills still remain unproven at 2-0, however I'll take them to win today at home. The Chargers are due for a let down after their big win over the Seahawks. Plus the cross country trip to play a one o'clock game won't be easy.
Rams 27, Cowboys 21 --- STL +2.5 The Cowboys looked good last week defeating the Titans. So that clearly means they are due for a stinker. The Rams beat the Bucs, who stink, last Sunday with some guy named Austin Davis playing quarterback. I just have a feeling the Rams are going to win this one.
Eagles 31, Redskins 28 --- Personally I think the Redskins will be better with Kirk Cousins playing but that doesn't mean they will beat the Eagles in Philly today. They might keep it close and cover the spread but in the end the Iggles should walk away with the win.
Texans 21, Giants 17 --- A lot of people are picking the Giants to win this one. I picked the G-Men to win last week and they couldn't even beat the Drew Stanton lead Cardinals. Therefore, I am done with you Giants. I'm picking the Texans. They aren't getting much credit for beating the Raiders and Redskins but they have only allowed 20 points in those two games. I don't see why they won't be able to shut down Eli today in JetLife.
Saints 31, Vikings 17 --- The Saints finally get to play at home and they desperately need to get a win. The Vikings have been in turmoil with the decision to re-instate Adrian Peterson, only to banish him likely for the year. The Saints should get off to a hot start and not look back in this one.
Bengals 27, Titans 24 --- TEN +6.5 The Bengals looked great last week as they crushed the Falcons. The Titans got roughed at home by the Cowboys. All of that should mean the Bengals should win easily to get to 3-0 right? Nope, the Titans will keep this one close.
Browns 21, Ravens 17 --- I'm buying the Browns. They could easily be 2-0 had they not had a miserable first half against the Steelers. The Brownies always want revenge against the Old Brownies who moved to Baltimore. As long as Brian Hoyer doesn't turn the ball over the Browns should have a good chance to take down the Ravens.
Packers 35, Lions 28 --- Since 2000 the Packers are 23-5 against the Lions. Sure some of those years the Lions were turrible but they have trouble beating the Packers. I have a feeling Aaron Rodgers is going to have a huge game today. If they Lions want to win they better be able to outscore the Packers.
Colts 27, Jaguars 21 --- At 0-2 maybe the Colts aren't as good as everyone thought they were. They have Andrew Luck and that's about it. The Jaguars have been pretty awful to start the year but they finally get to play at home in front of their 30 or so fans who swim in pools while watching the game. For some reason the Jaguars will keep this one close.
Patriots 38, Raiders 14 --- NE -14 The Raiders are really bad. The Patriots should crush them today at home. I'm taking the 14 points and I know I'll be wrong. Somehow the Patriots will screw me over and not cover the spread because that's just the Patriots. On paper though I just don't see the Raiders giving the Patriots any type of challenge.
49ers 28, Cardinals 20 --- The 49ers have been great after losses under Jim Harbaugh. They are 10-3 after loss and the Cardinals are going to have to rely on Drew Stanton again. I'll take the Niners in this one because I can't see them falling to 1-2, while the Cards improve to 3-0.
Seahawks 31, Broncos 17 --- SEA -4.5 I expect the Super Bowl rematch to go how the actual Super Bowl did. The Seahawks will out-physical the Broncos. They will get to Peyton Manning and the Seattle crowd will be going nuts throughout the game. Russell Wilson won't turn the ball over and the Seahawks will make a few big plays on defense.
Dolphins 21, Chiefs 14 --- This is the first time I've picked the Dolphins to win in forever, so that's probably not a good thing for the Dolphins. In all seriousness though I don't think the Chiefs will pose much of threat without Jamaal Charles. The Dolphins should be able to control the Chiefs offense. As long as Ryan Tannehill doesn't have any bad turnovers the Dolphins should be able to get their second home win of the season.
Panthers 24, Steelers 12 --- Maybe this is just some reverse psychology about the Steelers. If I say they are going to lose badly by kicking four field goals, I won't be too upset when they actually lose to the Panthers. But if the Steelers win somehow, I'll be booking tickets to see them play in the Super Bowl. It's a win/win for me now.
Bears 24, Jets 17 --- I'm not too sure why the Jets are a two point favorite in this game. Something is very fishy about that. Either way I'm picking the Bears to win outright. Jay Cutler is the superior quarterback and he should have a good night against the Jets secondary. If Geno turns the ball over multiple times the Bears should take advantage and get the win.
Enjoy the games people.
