Pick: Baltimore +2, BAL/NYJ +36
Why: Really looking forward to this doubleheader Monday Night and man I like the Ravens! I’m not gonna talk about the Hard Knocks hype and also sometimes hypes are for real, anyway take a closer look at this Jets team. They lost one of the most reliable running backs in the last 4 or 5 years and even though he’s not a starter anymore it does feels nice to have that one guy you can go to on tough spots. Also they added like tons of new players, which I’m sure they are all great but its not that easy to learn how to play with new teammates and in close games that will make a difference on both sides of the football. Also what do you like about Sanchez? Sure if he played for Pete Carroll I’d be close to a Jets fan right now, but the thing is he does not and as much as Rex Ryan is a great coach he couldnt get much done for him yet, and every time you rely on your running game against the Ravens D you cant be in good shape. We can talk about how much that Ravens offense got improved in the offseason but honestly I’d pick the 09 Ravens to win this game against the Jets. About the total I really think 36 is a low line for a MNF game as you know this are usually prone to big plays, and when you are facing this two D’s you cant expect nothing less than turnovers to push the game over and if both hypes about those two improved teams are true, the over should be a safe pick.
Good Luck,
Paulie.
