i must say that when i saw the week 2 lines, i was salivating, only to completly forget even who was playing after the tuesday tragedy. much has been said about how this will affect this or that team, but i will assume that it applies fairly even to everyone. also the regular refs are back this week. this could be a strange week, indeed.
buff/indy
the line is about right, and indy should have an easy game here, in the order of 27-10 or so. buff's ability to make a comeback is very limited from everything i see and read.
oak/miami
is this the old fiedler, who was kicking a... before his injury last year? i think he is, and will back miami on this one.
tenn/jax
a very good team defeated tenn and jax defeated a nothing team? i don't particularly care, i will pass on this one.
balt/cinci
nothing against balt, but i think cinci may be in the beginning of a trend. i like the way they put n.e. away, in what was expected to be a tighter game. will take the points here. the totals are not certain in my mind, thinking it could go either way: a very low scoring game or a wild one.
carol/atlanta
not sure either way on this one. may apply the reversal theory nolan talked about: one win and one loss to start the season.
detroit/clev
what? won't spend 5 minutes on this one. may consider the under and that is about it.
minn/chi
oh boy, did minny learn a lesson last week, or did chicago get some nice film to look at, or both? need more research here.
giants/kc
sorry, ny guys, the giants never convinced me last year, and i won't consider them until they can show me. will take kc minus.
sandiego/dallas
i like what i see out of sandiego and will back them, even if it means putting dallas on the ticket, which i normally avoid. they cannot play any worse than tampa. is this the game of the week?
jets/new england
pass with no comments.
st louis/sanfran
another pass.
phil/seattle
phil is a great road warrior and will rise to the ocassion here and win handily. philly and the over is on my ticket.
denver/ariz
ariz looked good in pre-season and have been salivating for a couple of weeks. while denver is the legitimate favorite, 8 points is just too much to give in this spot. plus, they have randy, don't they? ariz.
wash/greenb
a key game for both teams: gb must assert themselves against a mediocre team, or fall back to last year's early mediocrity. wash is on the verge of becoming the cleveland of the nfl and are fighting for their lives. pass.
