2 Early plays, more to follow:


Dallas -3 over Arizona *******

Much like the Patriots did this past week, I expect a complete turnaround from Dallas. Carson Palmer looked poor for most of the game against the hapless Colts and the Cardinals can not run the ball at all. Dallas was annihilated on Sunday in Denver, but the team has too much talent to play that poorly again, especially as the Cardinals defense is really poor. Do not usually make big plays in first few weeks, but Dallas should shred the Cardinals. Looking for Dallas to win by 17.



LA Rams/San Francisco UNDER 40 ****

Week 1 was a fluke for the Rams, the offense won't come close to playing that well again all season. The Niners defense is for real but the offense is still trying to find itself. The Rams defense is solid enough to limit the Niners, which should lead to a game in the low 30's.

Here are the rest of the plays:

Green Bay -7 over Cincinnati *****
Green Bay is back at home and seething from the beat down they received again in Atlanta. Andy Dalton remains QB, so you can likely pencil in a few turnovers from him. The Bengals locker room once again seems in shambles and this is the wrong time to face Rodgers at home. Look for a Bengals beatdown.


Seattle +2.5 over Tennessee ****
While Seattle's offense has really struggled, their defense remains top notch. Mariotta has played poorly as well so far this season and Seattle can certainly stop the run. The problem for Seattle stems from their poor offensive line play, but the Titan's defense is allowing a ton of yards and has significant injuries in their secondary. Look for Seattle to get on track.

Chicago +7.5 over Pittsburgh***
The Steelers barely beat the Browns on the road in week 1 and Chicago is likely no worse. The Steelers should not be favored by over a TD on the road vs. anyone. I expect in this road game that Pittsburgh will play down to their competition as they have been known to do.

Houston +14 over New England ***
The Patriots are full of injuries at wide receiver slot and their defense is getting banged up as well at the defensive line. The Patriots should win the game, but 2 touchdowns in a ton to ask for with limited weapons against a still strong Houston defense.

Adding a prop on and another play:


Devonta Freeman UNDER 65.5 yards vs. Detroit ****

The Lions rank 4th in the NFL against the run and I expect Freeman to be the focus of the defense. Freeman had a good week last week but we pretty poor in the opener. In Detroit, I think he will struggle somewhat again.



Buffalo +3.5 over Denver ***

Denver is suddenly now the best team in football, with a lot of hype after the beatdown of the Cowboys. The line continues to climb this morning, but Im not sold they are a great team, especially on the road where Denver has yet to play. Buffalo has a solid defense and running game. Ill take the points here.
