Top NFL handicappers say that the New York signal caller has shown flashes in small doses and was very good in the playoff game at Indianapolis last season but I have watched him way too many times to believe in the guy. Sanchez is just not very good and not close to Joe Flacco. Yes it’s true that the Baltimore defense is a shell of itself without Ed Reed but Ray Lewis is still around and even if the secondary is banged up I don’t see the former USC QB being able to take advantage. If anything he is going to try and squeeze stuff in there thinking that he can and watch it backfire on him with a couple of turnovers.
The Ravens have a blossoming stud in Ray Rice who may not dominate the New York defense but he will continue to grind away and eventually in a well-played and low scoring game I just see these visitors coming out with the victory.
Flacco, Rice, Boldin and Ray Lew, banged up or not, may be the best team in the AFC and even on the road have my vote today.
Seattle has lost 5 of the last 6 games and they have also lost 27 of the last 33 games as an underdog of +150 or higher. Seattle has lost 30 of the last 42 games vs. left-handed starting pitchers and they have also lost 11 of the last 15 games when playing on a Monday.
50* Play Colorado (-140) over San Diego
Colorado has won 10 consecutive games and they have also won 40 of the last 56 home games when the total posted is between 8.5 and 10 runs. Colorado has won 22 of the last 30 home games as a favorite of -125 to -175 and they have also won 11 of the last 15 games vs. San Diego .
It's easy to remember that the Jets win games because of their defense. With Revis now back in the locker room, this unit just got a little better as well. The corners should be able to shut down Baltimore wideouts Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason while the front seven should take care of a Ravens running game that was particularly bad during preseason, gaining over 100 yards just once in the four games.
New York had a simliar offensive roster last season and went to the AFC Championship. Now they've added some new pieces including RB LaDanion Tomlinson who I feel is going to make a major impact early. Look for New York to keep it on the ground all season long to keep young QB Mark Sachez's mistakes to a minimum.
It's opening night at the New Meadowlands and the Jets fans will have their team pumped. It'll be a close game but I'm giving New York a six point win
