Baltimore at KC should be good, because the Ravens new-look offense is so, so potent.
Dallas is a 21-point favorite over Miami.

 

And not even the biggest favorite of the weekend. The Patriots are 22 1/2-point favorites over the Jets, who will be starting a third-string QB who was on the practice squad two weeks ago.
If you lay the points, you're basically betting that the Dolphins and Jets will score more than 10 points. I'm all in on the Cowboys and Pats.

 

Five glorious games at 1:00 (pacific). Then the Ram game at 5:30.
I'm gonna make a dent on that couch.

 

I don't think the Dolphins or Jets could score 10 points against each other. This HAS to be the first time in NFL history there's been two 20 plus point spreads in the same week. There's usually like one a decade.

 

I'm reading a lot of "since 1987" regarding the point spreads, but those were strike games.

That's like when ESPN compared UConn women win streak to UCLA men. Don't do it.

 

Usually glossed up with a Color Rush.

 

The more I think about it, I think the Chiefs are going undefeated.
One team in the AFC could beat them, but not if they play at Arrowhead (playoffs).
Saints might be able win, but won’t.

The disparity between the top teams in the AFC and everyone else is nuts.

 

I know one Titans fan who lived in Knoxville and went to UT. I've never met a Jaguars fan, and I ain't planning on spending any time in Jacksonville this lifetime, so there's a good chance I never will.

 

They have some tough games, including road tilts in NE and Chicago. They also host GB and Minnie. They're bound to lose one of those games. Hell, they could lose this week to Baltimore.

I think the Arrowhead advantage is among the biggest crock-of-shit storylines in sports. They never live up to it. If they did, they might have played in a single Super Bowl since 1970.

Before they beat the Colts last year, they'd lost freaking six straight home playoff games. That's pathetic for a team that supposedly has such a great home crowd.

 

The league is weak. It's amazing that at Week 3 you can cross off 26/32 teams as having a defensible shot at a title. It gets even worse if you believe that the Rams will crap themselves again and KC will do what they are predestined to do in January.

Well, the only 1 p.m. games I care about, I'll get over the air, so I'll probably stay in and watch those and head out to the bar for the 4 p.m. games.
