While Bill Belichick and the Patriots approach the game differently than most, there is still a human element that cannot be denied and it can certainly be applied here. New England comes off a set where they defeated both the Steelers and Colts respectively. Now they find themselves on a short week, only to have a Monday night tussle with AFC East co-leading Jets. The Lions are a tough out in their own building as evidenced by four covers in four tries as hosts, This one provides a good opportunity for Detroit to showcase some of its promise while the circumstance surrounding it allows for them to catch this visitor slightly off guard.
Saints (7-3) at Cowboys (3-7)
LINE: NEW ORLEANS BY 3½ Pinnacle
All that rah-rah stuff is nice with the seemingly revitalized Cowboys but when the smoke clears, there are still a multitude of issues that will not be resolved anytime soon. Dallas’s two wins since making a coaching change are anything but convincing. The Giants piled up 480 yards of offence but had a couple of key turnovers that were too much to overcome. Under Jon Kitna, the Cowboys did little last week against the Lions but were again beneficiaries of a couple of big plays that turned the tide in Dallas’ favour. Luckily, the perception following those two wins has lowered the price here and we’re happy to back this surging Saints at this reduced rate.
TAKING: SAINTS –3½
Bengals (2-8) at Jets (8-2)
LINE: NY JETS BY 9 Pinnacle
There is little to get worked up over with these Bengals but that’s not to say this setting does not offer a reasonable opportunity to back them. Cincinnati is at its best when little is expected of them. In the two games that they have been six or more underdogs, the Bungles have managed covers against both the Colts and Steelers. Jets are in a lot of close games and have huge contest with Patriots on deck.
