I'll update record in a bit . . .
Kansas City has been tough at home and looked good as 9-point dogs earlier this month. But today, they'll have to do it without Larry Johnson and the 198 yards that he had against a Denver defense yielding 5/yards a rush. And they'll have to do it against a Tennessee rush defense yielding 3.7/rush
Tennessee's at it's best when they can rely on their power running game and KC's rush d yielding 180 yds/game and 5.0/rush.
You'd have to be a turnip farmer not to see this.
Tennessee -9
Both teams are best running the ball, and defending the run. Both defenses are susceptible to passing attacks, but neither has one that can be relied upon
Miami/Baltimore Under 36.5
Chicago's D is pointing to this game due to Peterson's record setting day last year. The problems with the focus on the run s that their DBs are banged up. Chicago needs to establish their running game and it won't be easy against the Minny Dline and may not have the playmakers outside to exploit Chicago's weakness in their secondary.
Bears are made for a dome, Vikings are made for an outdoor grass field.
Minnesota +3
Also . . .
San Francisco +10
NY Jets -3 (-125)
Also . . .
