Skins +7 seems like the right line given Cowboys are 9-1 against the spread this year. Cowboys have played well all season and haven't missed a beat any week after week 1...Skins played them even at home with Cousins 4th quarter interception being the difference. Skins have played very well 3 straight weeks. Cousins playing like last year now with a set of receivers as good an any in the NFL. Cowboys O dominates and they don't make mistakes...so what gives? I see these teams as pretty evenly matched right now...Skins have a better passing deep game, Cowboys a better running game...I think both can get into the 30s tomorrow. Skins corners play very aggressive man to man and don't give a cushion which killed the Ravens last week...I don't see the Cowboys wideouts getting a of separation deep...so Cowboys will have to go to Witten and run the ball a lot..and they'll succeed at that...Skins, on the other hand go deep all the time with at least 4 different receivers...I see the Skins rolling on O tomorrow...I see the Cowboys countering like they did against the Steelers.back and forth they go...so the 7 points seems like 3 too many if you ask me...think the Skins get revenge and hold on 34-31. Put some $$ on ML as well...Cowboys come down to earth in this one.
Ravens ML -200...Cincy w/o AC Green have no threats..they can't run particularly against the Ravens...so Cincy I'd be surprised scores more than 14 points in this one...Ravens always tough at home..great field goal kicker...Flacoo plays much better there...Ravens have one deep threat and a good tight end and Steve Smith is OK...Ravens have at least 20 points in them...against a team I think is on the decline...the cheap shot Bengals demise started in their self destruction in the playoffs...think they end of with a losing record..at least this year Marvin won't be accused of not winning In the playoffs...the chippy, late hitting, dirty D of Cincy is not going to work against the Ravens...although they'll try to intimidate...think the dominant Raven D line with do the intimating...Dalton and gang in for a long day....Ravens 27, Bengals 10
Chargers - 1 1/2 (can't get a ML at the moment)...Chargers strength is a perfect match for Texans strength...Chargers can stop the run....Chargers D line is dominant..maybe best in FB...take away the run, and do the Texans scare anybody? Osweiler is a journeyman QB and he'll be running for his life in 3rd and long....Texans need to keep the score down to win any game...and Rivers is one QB who can put points up...the fact he had a real clunker game last game, makes me like him even more...he rarely has two bad games in a row...Chargers could shut out the Texans....San Diego 30, Texans 7.
And I normally don't like betting on lousy teams or teams in decline but will take a small dabble on the Browns +7...and a bit on the ML too...McKeown is the only QB on the Browns that remotely gives any fear to the D...Griffin/Kessler have a moment here an there but you can't win with either of these guys...McKeown has a great arm and can go deep well if given the time...teams can't load the box when he QBs...Giants aren't as good as their record IMO...they barely win each week..but give them credit for winning...7 points is a lot for a home dog....for Cleveland to win, they need to win the turnover battle...and Eli is known to throw a pic or three....so maybe the stars are lining up this week for the Browns...home dog with their best QB, desperate to win game 1 against a team that wins, but doesn't dominate the line of scrimmage at all with a QB who does turn the ball over...I'll take a flyer with the points and ML...Browns 27, Giants 24....
