    Only way the Pats don't cover that spread is if Brady retires this week. And even then... Washington a strong contender for worst team in the league.

    Bolts a bargain giving 6.5
    Denver couldn't score in a whorehouse with a fist full of hundreds.

    I know the Cardinals are bad. But not sure the Bengals should be -4.5 vs anyone.

    Panthers and 13? That has to be a misprint.

    Battle of the backups ... of course, before Mr. Minshew lit up stull for Jax and the Palouse before then ... well ... let's just say his play not far from Charlotte would not have gotten him picked by anyone.

    That Jaguars defense probably won't let Kyle Allen do much - with or without Jalen Ramsey - and I question if the line is going to help Christian McCaffery out that much (of course, maybe people won't go high on Allen anymore, either). And speaking of defense ... Kawann Short going on IR is a nasty blow for the Panthers.

    VegasInsider has it listed at Panthers -3 1/2. The -13 must be a typo.

    The Donkeys are terrible but also some terrible luck. Two lost games on field goals at the gun and mistakes put the defense in huge holes at Lambeau. Division game and they won in Carson last year. Never have started 0-5 in 60 years. Not that it means crap. Chubb out. Everything against them, which leads me to think it will be closer than the Sharps expect. I'll take the 6.5
