reeks imo and thats
NE-3...opened at 4 but was expecting KC -3 so surprised at that. yes KC is 1-2 losing to Tenn and Denver but beating Mia on road. while NE eeked by Oak which you can blame on disinterest I suppose but if not for flag they would have been tied and likely gone to OT. Pats lost to Mia and gave up serious yds on ground, Brady has had bad O line protection, beat Minn with no AP and +4 turnover margin. JC's backup, Davis ran nicely last week. this one reeks so Im going against logic (to me ) and taking NE but buying the hook to -3
NE -3
Balt -3. downside, the Ravens come off 3 str8 div games and little banged up Pierce ? for sunday. for the Panthers Newton is not 100% healed from ankle surgery if u have watched any so not near as mobile (solid negative ) the O line was having trouble with a 3 man rush by Pitt and feeling pressure so Steelers could drop many into coverage and pass game had little hope. Williams is supposed to be back off hammy injury and Tolbert is out for sure and J Stew may not go (more likely not to than play right now) 4th in depth chart is Fozzy Whitaker who had some decent moments in preseason but he is also a ? mark and Panthers may be bringing some one in to shore up the RB position. and of course no Hardy. Steve Smith is Raven now and has been chirping a lot about this meeting with his old team. He has plenty of knowledge about his old team to help the Ravens prepare also.trying not to over react to sunday night but Car has issues and like Balt to win and cover short nbr at home
Balt -3
will add as week goes on.
