I never feel sorry for the busts. His rookie deal even without the option year is probably 20m+. Still set for life if he's smart. If he can be backup that's 3m to 5m a year. He'll still make millions.Wait a minute…Bryce Young had a 6.4 QBR? Feel bad for the kid.
Philly will be 1 day short on rest and has to travel. No AJ Brown I'm guessing. I think Saints with the way they have come out balling is a steal anything -3 or less, but I haven't checked all the injury reports.PHI a 3 pt dog in NO is a big move from opener. At worst for Philly this game should be a PK.
Very interesting stat.Interesting stat from VSiN email this morning
Teams that start out 0-2 SU are 26-25 SU, but 35-15-1 ATS (70%) against 1-1 teams in Week 3 since 2010
Ha more from that blurb, legit question about the Pans. Bad kitty.Very interesting stat.
This would mean: Titans (vs. Packers), Colts (vs. Bears), Panthers (at Raiders), Ravens (at Cowboys), Rams (vs. 49ers), Bengals (vs. Commanders)
Good thoughts. Engram's status is very up in the air btw -- hamstring injury.I'll have more thoughts on the Bills but I am very leery of them ats this week.
Defense has over performed despite injuries but here is a game that Bernard/Taron could be sorely missed. Looking at the match up I think Jax has a couple advantages offensively.
I said it last week that Rasul & Benford are better than advertised & now Ingram is looking like a steal in the draft. That being said Brian Thomas & Kirk with Gabe as a third to me is a bigger test for the secondary.
Bills d has been successful largely because the Dline has been getting home a ton. Oliver played a near flawless game last week and Von miller looks like he's back. If they can get to Trevor early it'll be a long game but I do think Jax could get the ground game going to counter the pass rush.
The Bills will likely employ the same defense of bend but don't break but Gabe is going to have the size advantage over the third cb covering him and Kirk might be a matchup problem for Benford (I'd expect Rasul on BTjr). Gabe can block and no LB for Buf can match up with Engram. So staying in cover 2 is going to give Jax a huge advantage in the run game. If buffalo goes nickel they might be too small= broken tackles are going to turn into big gains. If they don't I doubt they have the speed at LB to keep up in coverage.
One MAJOR concern about backing the Bills over a fg favorite this season is the special teams. Bass went from very consistent to a crap shoot about halfway through last season. The single biggest negative takeaway from the Dolphins win was that horrific fg attempt by Bass. Zero confidence in him being able to nail a big kick and the team doesn't either- they worked out a couple kickers this week.
The way games are being played so far this season I think there has to be a bit more value placed on good kickers. I am not laying over 3 points with a mid to bad kicker, especially with a public fave.
Lg sidy has been out first 2 games and they've been dominating. Lt leverian lowe has troubles so not sure there will be a big dropoff.Starting LT and LG out for NE Thursday night
Center and RT are questionable with hip and wrist injures respectively
Definitely agree bills not as good as they look. Miami just layed down. jax run game is one of the worst in league tho. I think jags path is much like last year , they just completely shut bills offense down. Which is unlikely to do again imo. Lean jags but not a team I think can run or stop the run well. Saw lot of missed tackles vs Cleveland. Browns had success finally in run gameI'll have more thoughts on the Bills but I am very leery of them ats this week.

He shouldn't take another snap in any NFL game ever again. He's horendous.Wait a minute…Bryce Young had a 6.4 QBR? Feel bad for the kid.
