same thing for SD. they have major injuries at RB and today their two RB's have 19 carries for 42 yards against a terrible defense. i'm not sure this gets much better for SD and they'll probably be given higher numbers each week now that people know they are good. but how good are they with no running game playing good teams? they don't exactly have fitzpatrick at QB but this team isn't good enough to cover big spreads or regularly win tough games with no running game.

Agree on both counts. We have a pair of 3-1 teams who are not very good. Houston is plain ugly except for the spectacular JJ Watt and San Diego runs a 1 man offense thanks to the incredibly underrated Phil Rivers. Great fades in the right spots with the right lines.
What got into the Minnesota offense today ? That's the best they've looked in years. Something to consider when betting in the near term. Atlanta's defense is blech, but that was still impressive.
Pittsburgh's lack of competent coaching cost them a win today. I generally like Tomlin, but that loss is on him.
Indy has some swagger back, but I guess that comes with back to back divisional games against the Jags and Titans. They win the AFC South by default.
The 49ers won, but it was sloppy. They're not a Super Bowl contender.
The Shrimps need to be taken seriously. They've earned it.
Chicago is better than they showed today, but they just can't play with the Packers. Detroit is making the best case for being the best team in that division, but truth is they're all pretty damn good.
Oakland is as disgraceful as Jacksonville. Even more so, because the Raiders once had pride where the Jags never did.
