When a QB, coach or star player goes back to play a team that jettisoned him, many conisder it a revenge spot and it is, BUT it only works when the team he is on is playing well and he is having more success already and can rub it in their face even more. The opposite is the case here and Atlanta has only scored 3 TDs in 3 games and is in a major funk while the Vikings are flying with 5 wins on the trot. If Cousins is gonna get help from the run game it's gonna have to come against one of the NFLs toughest run defenses. I don't see it happening.
Dolphins -6
A few extra days and coming home to the warm confines of Miami should do the trick for the Phins who were scoring plenty of points prior to last week at GB.
Giants vs Saints under 41
Gmen have no offense and have the worst red zone TD%. The Saints defense has been getting torched but earlier this year they had the best red zone defense..they are getting guys back on the OL and with the Giants run defense being pretty bad, the Saints lacking WRs, I think it will be a lot of Kamara handoffs. Saints also missing their red zone gadget guy Taysom Hill.
Titans -3
Jags still firmly on the fade list til Dougie gets fired, their 1 TD per game in the last 3 games probably won't be enough to get it done against even the mediocre Titans
Steelers -6
Coming back home after 2 road games facing a Cleveland team whose little resurgence is gonna die out soon. Winston probably throw another pick6 or two despite his earnest prayers Pitt gets their revenge here hoping to gain another game on the Ravens.
Bucs -6.5
With the Falcons floundering, Bucs should be salivating at this opportunity to move into 1st place if they lose again today and all they have to do is beat the dead in the water Raiders who have to travel way out east. TB another team hasn't played at home for 3 weeks.
Eagles -13.5
I hate laying 14, 13.5 or 14.5. it's a hard number to cover and Carolina has been playing better. But, they haven't really been playing the elite teams except KC who is in an iffy schedule spot and isn't actually a top offense this year which Philly is. I don't see a letdown happening when you need to keep pace with the Lions to try and get that top seed because the 1st rd bye is huge (i hate that they don't have the top 2 getting it now, stupid change)
More to come... Maybe I'll even pick a dog

These teams tend to play close games but the Cards defense has been playing well, actually both these teams defense has been good lately, #1 and 2 the last 3 weeks. But Arizona offense has been better
Cards/Seattle Under
Have to think it's an under based on above
Rams/Bills Over 49.5
Both teams really good in the red zone and I think there will be points in this out of conference game
9ers Bears
No Play, Bears fired the coach, an angle i often like and the 9ers are in an awful funk but i certainly don't want the Bears in a close game because they don't finish those games out. nfc west is still wide open so the 9ers are not dead yet and really need this win, and are at home off back to back road games vs the Bills and Packers who blew them out but this is easier. I am still basically playing every game since i had 2 plays on the Seattle Arizona game.
