Top Pick
1. Tennessee Titans (-3.5) vs. Dal – The Cowboys D makes them a liability in any contest. They’ll put up points in this one but it will not be enough. Look for Tennessee to score early and often and pull away with the 10 point victory late.
Next
2. New England Patriots (-3) vs. Min – The Vikings played great in Week 1, but don’t expect a repeat performance in their home opener. The Patriots were embarrassed in the 2nd half against Miami and will not fall to 0-2. Look for a convincing win which easily covers the point spread.
3. Green Bay Packers (-9) vs. NY Jets – The Jets undermanned secondary will lead to their undoing (amongst other things) this week. The Packers D will force Geno Smith into turnovers and look for Green Bay to win going away.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (+6) vs. Was – See money line bet.
Rounding Things Out
Denver Broncos (-12) vs. KC – The Broncos will bury the reeling Chiefs at home.
San Diego Chargers (+6) vs. Sea – Expect San Diego to keep things close before falling short.
Cincinnati Bengals (-5.5) vs. Atl – The Bengals are the more complete team and their defense will limit the Falcons offensive firepower.
Money Line Bet
Jacksonville Jaguars (+210) vs. Was – The Skins are in disarray and really trying to find themselves offensively. They did not have a good showing in Houston. Jacksonville is a better team than a year ago and sneaky. Look for them to steal a win in the Skins home opener which adds to the current questions surrounding RGIII.
