Dallas Cowboys over Green Bay Packers: This line is under a TD why? Dall was not effective in the cold of Chic in prime time. Gb a team not used to playing out the string is doing just that with Rogers out. Flynn will go again and he has been very ineffective. Dall does have a weak defense but even if this game does turn into a shootout although I doubt it will Gb will simply not be able to keep up.
Philadelphia Eagles over Detroit Lions: Both teams have excellent offenses and are weak defensively against the pass so this game has the chance to be a shootout. However Det a dome team will have to deal with the outside conditions of a cold Phil.
Indianapolis Colts over Tennessee Titans: Just 2 weeks ago Indi went into Tenn favored by 3 and won 30-27. Fast forward 2 weeks Indi gets blown out in Ariz and Tenn goes to Oak and wins now the colts are just favored by 4 at home against Tenn.
Baltimore Ravens over Pittsburgh Steelers: Short week travel a 2nd consecutive road game for Pitts not a good situation to say the least. This line is lower than it should be because it seems Pitts has turned things around. Their 3 wins in a row have come against weak competition.
New York Giants over Dallas Cowboys: Dall comes in off a bye while Nyg have won 4 in a row. Neither item too important. The 4 wins by Ny against weak competition and bach up QB’s. The bye is not going to help the Dall defense which is last in the NFL. Now they will be without 2 key linebackers Durant and the QB on defense Lee.
Carolina Panthers over New England Patriots: I have this game at 5.5 points so we are getting excellent value. Ne comes off a bye however next Sun night they have a big game in prime time against Den. Ne despite having played the 2nd easiest schedule has been far from dominant on the road and have lost their last 2 straight up against Nyj and Cinnci.
San Diego Chargers over Miami Dolphins: We lost with SD last week but I have no hesitation to come right back on them even on the road. They fell behind against Den but almost covered. In fact if it was not for the turnaround at the end of the 1st half with SD missing a field goal and Den scoring a TD along with a couple of bad decisions we would have covered easily perhaps SD even wins outright. Regardless they held Den to 28 and now they take a big step down in class. This is a statement game for SD and their season hangs in the balance.
San Diego Chargers over Denver Broncos: Too many home points to ignore especially in a divisional game. Den is off a bye they have the Fox health concern as a distraction and undefeated KC on tap next week. Both teams can throw the ball and both teams have much trouble defending the pass so a high scoring shootout is likely.
Pittsburgh Steelers over New England Patriots: Pitts at 2-5 amazingly still has a shot at the playoffs especially with the recent loss by Cinnci. There is too much pedigree on this team to give up. The challenge for Pitts is the cluster injuries on the offensive line. It is having a large impact on the running game and pass protection. Regardless these are too many points to pass up in a game Pitts can actually win.
Houston Texans over Kansas City Chiefs: Yes I am aware that undrafted Keenum will get his first start for Houst on the road in a hostile environment. However that is already in the line. Houst has outgained every opponent they have faced this year yet they are 2-4. A -12 turnover ratio will do that. Conversely KC has a +12 turnover ratio. This type of statistic evens itself out a season progresses.
