Chicago -7: Bears are 18-3 SU and 15-4-2 ATS when they win turnover battle over last 3 yrs. Have to figure they will do that against a scared looking EJ Manuel, who plays like his asshole is all puckered up and aims the ball......Manuel was horrid on road last year...have to think we'll see Kyle Orton by no later than week 5. 5 *
Baltimore -1.5: In an evenly matched game like this, I will take the team with the better coach, better kicker and better red zone defense.....over last 3 yrs, Ravens rank 7th in Red Zone D, Bengals rank 19th.......Bengals only 1-7 SU and 1-6-1 ATS last 8 in B'more...and if you subtract AJ's lucky Hail Mary catch at end of last season's tilt, they have only averaged 13.5 PPG last 6 in B'more....Andy Dalton is 4-11 in all playoff games and games against B'more and Stillers, with a lousy 56 % completion pct, 16.0 PPG and a 14-22 TD-pick ratio....that wont get it done here..... 5 *
Houston -2.5: Mr. Rattler explained this one better than I can, but I will add that Houston's D never had any problems with Jay Gruden's offense when he was in Cincinnati....I think RG3 is in for a long, punishing day here...... 3 *
Pitt-Cleve Under 41.5: In all AFC North games last yr. the losing team only averaged 12.8 PPG. Cant see any way Cleveland scores more than 13 with their horseshit WR...as long as Stillers dont break 30, this should be a nice tidy win for us all....... 3 *
GLTA, so glad to have the NFL back!
