Week2 Selections

7) San Francisco +3

The Rams are a different team without Pace and it showed last week. When he left the ballgame the game went south and the Panthers took over. This should be a high scoring affair but I give the edge to the niners because they are 20-8 ATS in the last 28 meetings. The Rams have lost 15 of 23 ATS after a SU and ATS loss.

6) Tampa Bay +3

(IF Garcia plays)The Saints last week looked very bad on defense and this was not a fluke, nor because they were playing the Colts. The Bucs are a good home divisional puppy and are 15-6-1 ATS after scoring 10 or less. They win the home opener.

5) Under 39 Carolina / Houston

This has all the makings of a defensive battle. The under is 17-6 in the first two weeks for the Panthers because they focus on defense and ball control. They run into a team that plays just like them and have gone under 18 out of 27 times as a road dog.

4) Miami +3

The Cowboys defense looked very bad against a Giant team that is not very good offensively so that will allow the Dolphins to stay in this game. The Dolphins have a respectable defense and a home opener as a live dog.

3) Washington / Philly Over 39 (MNF)

The Eagles offense looked pathetic last week but they are much better than it showed last week. This Monday night game will turn in into a shoot out. Washington will keep this close and the points will fly on in.

2) Arizona +3

The Cardinals looked great on defense last week and shutdown superstar Gore last week and if they do it aganst the Seahawks it can be a long day for the birds. Edge looked great and he will run to establish the pass and the wideouts for the birds will win this game in an upset. The Seahawks are horrible road chalk going 7-16 as road favorites and 3-12 ATS when laying 3 or less on the road.

1) Detroit -3

Another game where last weeks may have fooled you as the Vikings looked great against the hapless Falcons. The Vikings offense scored not one but two defensive TD’s and the offense will have a tough time keeping up with the 4 wide set of the high scoring Lions. The Vikings are 7-13 AS in the last 20 road openers and will get crushed on Sunday.
