Suuma, I have been learning a lot from your write-ups. Definitely on the Rams and the teaser. Please give me your opinion on the following picks:
Buffalo -4, I think despite all the injuries, their defense is enough to beat the Jags on a neutral field.
Colts -4, Luck with his receiving corps at home can pull this out.
Redskins-3, due for a home win
Thank you
Hey bud. I think it's gonna be hard for the Bills to move the chains with Manuel and without Watkins and Harvin. The Jaguars are due but they are also suffering some injuries and it's tough to lay money on Bortles. I would stay away from games in which you don't know what output you gonna get from the QBs.
Luck should get it done but so should Brees. Coinflip IMO.
Redskins still have Hall and Culliver out against Evans and Jackson. If their front seven cant get enough pressure on JW, ist could get ugly for them. Bucs off a bye had time to prepare. Both QBs are inefficient - pass for me.

Ya'll think I'm all joke but my last NFL season record (documented on Covers) is 38-8. Unfortunately there is no function to search threads dated back to 2014.
I do play my own games and I'm currently 14-4 this season. I act like a troll just for the fun of it.
I'll give you my play of the month.
Lions +2.5
You can thank me later

All jokes aside - I have to disagree with your Jets pick.
Many have said it here and on other threads - who have Jets played so far to think they have any chance against Super Bowl champs? All the teams they've faced so far are all at the bottom of their respective divisions.
Have we all forgotten that Jets started last season with 1 win followed by 10 straight losses?
Jets are Jets. Just because they started the season strong doesn't mean they are a good team.
Good luck to you anyway
You are finally talking Football! The Jets are a completely different team than last season you should have noticed that. Both NE and NYJ have shredded their weak opponents so far as they rank first and second in true margin despite the Jets losing one. I was low on the Patriots because of their OL and defense and the same you said about the Jets can be said about NE. They have yet to play an opponent that can expose those two weaknesses. I don't see a discrepancy of 8 points by now. GL to you!

Why is everyone so high on Arizona? I don't believe the Ravens are bad. They just had bad luck in terms of injuries. I had them as a top-5 team before the season. They have been banged up throughout the season and played a tough schedule - @Denver, @Oakland in a bad spot, vs. Bengals, @Steelers, vs. Browns and @SF.
This Cardinals team is sooo overrated, it's not even funny. Before the Steelers game, they played the #31 schedule win-percentage-wise and when I remember right, the #30 schedule efficiency-wise. Their secondary is overrated, they benefit from their blitzes which only works against average to bad offensive lines who can't pick them up. Ravens have a top-5 offensive line, Steve Smith is back to full practice as well as Justin Forsett. Smith dropped two TD passes last week against SF and Forsett obviously wasn't 100%.
On defense they get some players back like Chris Canty and Ladarius Webb. The latter backup Shareece Wright was signed two weeks ago and got terribly beaten on two TD passes at San Francisco. Webb isn't a good CB, but definitely two leagues ahead of what Shareece Wright has shown. Their front seven isn't at full strength but getting Chris Canty is a solid for the Ravens, as he is not only a solid pass rusher, but their rotation is also deeper now.
Before the season started the Ravens would have been the clear favorites in this game for me and now I am going to get them at +9 straight and +16 in teasers because Pinnacle set the base line at 10. I am going to monitor their practice today, but I really like the Ravens on MNF.
Would gladly hear some opinions!
I have to agree with you on the Ravens as well. I had expected much more from them. but like you said injury after injury and with a battered team getting some healthy key players back I like a ML ACTION AT +325 right now as well as +9.5 love reading your threads thanks for your work.

Sorry no time today buddy. Just a sentence for each game:
Dolphins: would generally not take a team in such a look-ahead spot but the Texans are flat out bad, struggled with an easy schedule. The Dolphins can't look ahead to NE because they need this game to get back into the wildcard hunt with divisional games on deck. There is a new attitude in this locker room and I like them to take it on the field to beat a much weaker Texans squad.
Falcons: they are finally in full strength while the Titans haven't shown me anything they would be able to stay within 6. Titans can't defend the deep ball and now with Perrish Cox out and without a good pass rush against a good OL that has its starting center back, I see the Falcons marching down the field very easily. Mettenberger will be under pressure because its likely going to be the only game this season he can advertise himself for other teams. I think he can be a pretty solid QB but behind this OL and probably in the position to keep pace against Dan Quinn who leans back and sees whether he can beat the Falcons deep - I have to go with the Falcons in a game which could get ugly for the Titans.
Rams: playoff-caliber team (yes they are) with the number #1 defense thus far in terms of performance adjusted to scheduleoff a bye. Rams have played the worst schedule of all teams and they should rather be 3-2 instead of 2-3. Browns don't have a strong pass rush and will be missing Gipson and Haden once again. Todd Gurley will torch them on the ground while Nick Foles will see some decent PA situations to beat them deep. Rams should win by 10+.

And you have the same idiot QB for the Jets this year?? And they didn't lose all those loses to playoff teams after week 1
And they didn't this new coach who is definitely better even on defense which by the way they now have Revis and the Pats don't?
Who ran the ball for the Jets last year, who caught it? Are you really serious, bro?
If you really got to your great record last year, it was by luck just as it will be today having the Pats blow out the Jets...
Oh and the Jets play well in this spot usually but this is the best Jets team in many years
Good analysis, Summa
