Falcons -3 at Redskins (50): Atlanta needed a last second FG to remain unbeaten last week while Washington squandered a double digit lead before kicking their own last second FG to edge Tampa Bay. The Redskins lead the NFL in rushing at 176 yards per game and the Atlanta defense has been vulnerable to the run. In turn Atlanta has a strong passing game to attach the vulnerable Washington pass defense. OVER.
Eagles +3½ at Steelers (44½): Philadelphia is fortunate to be 3-1 as they could easily be winless. Pittsburgh is off of the bye week which followed a 1-2 start. The Steelers were competitive in their losses at Denver and at Oakland. The situation favors the hosts who will have used the time off to make defensive adjustments and could have some key defenders return from injury. STEELERS.
Packers -7 at Colts (48½): Green Bay was fortunate to escape with a much needed win at home against New Orleans. The Colts had their bye after starting 1-2. Indy rookie QB Andrew Luck has a promising career ahead of him but he is the second best signal caller in this game. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers also has better surrounding talent. In a game between two teams that cannot run the football, the preference is to go with the more established passing game. PACKERS.
Browns +10 at Giants (44): Cleveland has extra rest following its game effort last Thursday in Baltimore. The Giants nearly came back to defeat Philly Sunday night and step down in class here. The Giants have edges at virtually every position and should be able to extend a lead. The defensive pressure they will apply to Cleveland rookie QB Brandon Weedon will likely leading to costly turnovers. GIANTS
Titans +5½ at Vikings (43½): To upset San Francisco and then win on the road at division rival Detroit is an indication that Minny is much improved. The win over the Lions was due to special teams play rather than production from the offense. Tennessee is likely to again have veteran QB Matt Hasselbeck under center after he replaced injured Jake Locker. Titans have faced a tough early schedule and are better than their record. TITANS.
Dolphins +4½ at Bengals (44): Miami played well in defeat at Arizona as rookie QB Ryan Tannehill passed for 431 yards but also threw a costly INT. The Bengals were impressive in winning at Jacksonville. The combination of QB Andy Dalton to WR A J Green is quickly becoming one of the best in the entire league. Miami’s offense has been better than expected and Cincy’s defense is vulnerable to balanced attacks. DOLPHINS.
Ravens -4½ at Chiefs (45½): Baltimore has extra time to prepare after defeating Cleveland last Thursday. The Chiefs were horrible in their home loss to San Diego, committing six turnovers. It won’t get any easier against an aggressive Baltimore defense which is complimented by an up tempo Ravens offense. The Chiefs have also been good at scoring points when playing from behind. OVER.
Seahawks +3 at Panthers (44): Seattle was in a poor spot at St. Louis last week following a fortunate win over Green Bay the prior Monday. Yet the defense played well in their 19-13 loss at St. Louis. Carolina followed its abysmal effort against the Giants with what should have been a winning effort against unbeaten Atlanta. But a costly miscue in the waning moments enabled the Falcons to win. Seattle does have to travel cross country but has the better defense. An outright upset would not be a shock. PANTHERS.
Bears -4 at Jaguars (38): The Jags remain one of the weakest teams in the league and will face a defense capable of frustrating QB Blaine Gabbert. Chicago also has a below average offense which may not be as able to exploit the Jaguars’ defense as have other foes. UNDER.
Broncos +7 at Patriots (51½): In last season’s playoffs the Patriots routed the Broncos 45-10 after having won in Denver 41-23 a month earlier. Now Peyton Manning leads Denver into Foxboro, a place where he struggled mightily when leading the Colts. The Patriots gained some much needed confidence with their win at Buffalo and head coach Bill Belichick has been a master at devising defenses to counteract Manning’s genius at making adjustments at the line of scrimmage. PATRIOTS.
Bills +9 at 49ers (44): The 49ers played as expected in winning at the Jets 34-0 after being upset at Minnesota. Buffalo played well into the third quarter against New England, building a third quarter 21-7 before being outscored 45-7 in the game’s final 23 minutes. Now the mistake prone Buffalo offense faces a defense much better than New England’s. 49ERS.
Chargers +3 at Saints (54): The Saints played well in losing by a point in Green Bay but they remain winless a quarter of the way through the season. San Diego rebounded nicely from their embarrassing home loss to Atlanta a week earlier with a dominating win at Kansas City, fueled by forcing 6 KC turnovers. It’s debatable whether the Chargers are as good as their 3-1 record suggests. The Saints are much better than 0-4. SAINTS.
