NE @ Mia
NE has issues on offense. Mia is in a new system, new HC with plenty of new faces also on offense. The O line for Mia has a lot to prove. Both coaches should favor the run. I’d expect the situation to be a conservative tennis match as long as possible. Both teams should Volley back n forth. I’d imagine everyone from TE to FB to WR runs the ball. It’s what the Niners system does. And Tua will work short conservative mainly. If anyone in NFL noticed last year, all they did with him was throwing 0-4 yards and strong side (left) heavily. Drag a TE, FB RB motion left flats, quick hitch bubble left Waddell. Tua can’t throw well to wide side fades. However, oddly accurate fade boundary side. Usually his right. Dolphins D looks good on paper. And a Bill B D is always worth putting trust in. I expect both to keep things in front and attack the lines weak spot. Especially if time to prepare Bill even if undermanned should be able keep Fish i. Check mostly. If the turnovers stay in check the game should play into a 23-16 20-16 atmosphere.
TB @ Dal
The TB issues are obvious on O. But the defense is being overlooked imo. Bowles has talent all 3 levels and Veteran talent at that. Bowles is a heavy Pressure Guy also. Dallas has issues on offense early. The O line is just not what it was. Liability in a raw rookie in Smith. And the other Smith is just ancient. Lamb hasn’t been 100%. And the WR core nobody wants to bring up, its week 1 limited to no real game reps. Gallup hurt, Cooper gone, Wilson gone. That’s 3 of 4 starters last year. Both teams should find success vs the O lines. Big body Julio and Evans provides easier ways to move changes than what Dallas May have. Big lean on TB D being X factor. 26-20 23-16
IND @ HOU
Pace sets up for possible chase. If Taylor finds room vs this who is who young Hou D, then Colts could be in store for a 5-6 score game. 3-4 TD 2-3 FG for 27-34 type game. If the Colts can get out front the Texans will be forced to press. Offensive wise they have some decent pieces. Nico and Cooks can produce if Mills is forced into chasing down a lead. O line will be okay. If they get the fresh legs of RB Pierce involved it should give them enough balance to put some points up with 4 scores at least. 2 TD 2 FG is reasonable. Especially if the Colts can put em down 10-14. Colts lost some D pieces on D line and secondary. Leonard is banged up, Rock, Xavier, Muhammad, Tury, Stallworth moved on. New pieces arrived but it’s still game 1. Game has the making of a Texans down 14-17 back door cover. Or a SU win if you like the Colts and their 1-11 SU week 1 past 12 years. 30-23 27-23
