Personally, I'm trying to see how quickly I can forget last night's game. Congrats to all those who called NE. Some of the easiest money made all season. What a joke of a performance by HOU. Anyhow let's get into next week:
I'm interested in the NYG game. One week does not a season make. The Falcons are back at home where they generally do their thing. Giants despite the score last week, still look a bit off. Eli doesn't seem to be in synch with the receivers. It showed in the Skins game two weeks ago, and it showed during the Saints game. NO, kept giving them the football, and Wilson kept giving them field position, but when forced to face some adversity, I'm not sure I want my money on NY right now.
ATL has the receivers to burn the Giants secondary which is clearly NY's weakness. Atlanta is fourth in the league in sacks allowed - so if the Giants aren't able to sack Ryan, the Falcons are going to exploit the hell out of NY's secondary. I like this matchup a ton, and it sets up perfectly with the lopsided scores from last week. Falcons should be a 3-4 pt fave here.
I'm interested in Buffalo too. Sea not ready to be a a 5 point fave to many teams on a neutral site yet in my mind. But, I'm trying to be as objective here as possible and make sure my own head isn't clouding my view. I was WRONG about Russell Wilson. I didn't think he'd amount to shit in the NFL, and so far he has proven me wrong big time. That being said, I can't ignore the fact that Seattle has laid pts on the road three times this year, and lost every game outright. Probably the way to play this is to take Bills ML for 3/4 of your normal sized play.
And, here I am again - looking to fade NE. Kaepernick's biggest test by far. But I would make Frisco a 2.5 pt fave to NE at home, so there's a little bit of value here for the road team.
Lots of interesting matchups this week. I want no part of Indy or Texas.
