Let me preface my NFL ideas by saying I just read an interesting article that showed over the past five years you don't start to have a losing record with away favorites in the NFL until you reach -4 or higher. That being said I think you can make a strong case for
JETS -2
VIKES -3
EAGLES -2.5
CHARGERS -3(buy point at Aces on Friday)
Jets should cover against NE with the difference being Curtis Martin. Jets know that they have no chance of playoffs going down 0-2 in the division this year. Jets have had two weeks to groom two new defensive tackles and will be motivated. New England has a too little talent and travel shouldn't be a bit factor for NY
Vikes simply have too much talent compared to Chicago. The vikings have always played well at Soldier field and need this game badly, while it is tough to evaluate Chicago against Baltimore (bad baltimore O or good Chicago D?)
Eagles -2.5 Love this game. Eagles have been a good road team in the past. They have the better defense and quarterback without question. Running game is probably a toss up. Travel is a little concerning, but for a must-win game against a qb in his second NFL start give me the eagles
San Diego -3 It is going to take a few weeks for line to adjust to San Diego. Flutie has killed me every time I have ever bet against a team he has played on (I think he covered all his games last year as a Bill) San Diego has the better D and QB. Anticipated this line at -5 to -6. Add a rookie qb for dallas in with the injury to Ekubann and we have some good value.
Good luck to whatever you decide to play
