3-0

KC v. Miami under 34.5

KC are going to be a great under team all year...only 3 of their points last week came from the offense. A fumble (really a backward pass) was picked up and returned for a TD, and they got a safety late in the game.
They threw for a dismal 132 yards, and their second highest yard rusher was Printers, a QB!
But, you'd have to say their defense was ok, keeping the Bowns offense out of the end-zone. (They returned a kick-off for a TD late)
Miami weren't much better. 139 yards in the air, and take out Chatman's 74 yard TD run (which won't happen every week!!) they gained just 62 yards on the ground on 26 carries! (2.4 ypr)
KC have now gone under in 4 straight pre-season games, av'ing just 23 ppg.

Was there with you already. The Browns must have an awesome D to hold the Chiefs to a whopping 7 pts. with their starters and immediate backups in there in the 1st 1/2. The Chiefs then scored a big 5 pts. in the 2nd 1/2 vs.Clevs. scrubbs!
Miami on the other hand put a big 3 pts up in the 1st 1/2. Their backups did total 15 in the 2nd 1/2. :shrug:

Thanks guys. :toast:

Carolina +3 (1.85 was the best I could find)

I think a little too much is being read into McNabb starting this game. Chances are he gets no more than a series or two, given he has yet to participate in contact drills in camp.
Philli D didn't look good at all, and a Carolina running game that went for 5.5 ypr v. NYG should have more success here.
Reid said that Kolb is likely to play most of the second half again, so scoring points obviously isn't a high priority.
In fact, even last season the Eagles scored just 10, 20, 10, 16 and 17 in 5 pre-season games.
Carolina won all 4 SU last season and 1-0 now...I like getting a FG with the team I think is more committed to winning the game.

Atlanta @ Buffalo under 35

The Bills' defense is far better than the Jets' D against which Joey Harrington marched 88 yards for a TD last week.
It's also highly unlikely that any one of the Bills' QB's (or a combination even!) can go 16/22 for 173 and 3 TD's like Clemens did to the Falcons last week.
Even with Vick last season, Atlanta have only scored 17+ twice in their last 10!
25-35 mph winds forecast in Buffalo tonight which will make a passing game difficult.

Dallas v. Denver under 36

Dallas coaching staff seem very happy with the way their defense is playing under the new coaching staff. They held Indi to 10 last week...but even last year in pre-season they went 0-3-1 under, allowing just 3, 7, 7 and 10 points!
Denver are having BIG problems with their O-line, and are coming off a dismal 88 passing yards last week @ SF.
I think it's fair to say that Dallas are a class above the 49ers on defense, so it's tough to see Denver scoring too much.
The teams have been practicing together this week, so I'm sure Dallas won't want to run up a score..not that they'll probably be able to with Moore likely to play most of the second half.


GB v. Seattle under 35.5

Almost seems a bit easy taking GB unders...have they got anyone left to play offense?! Effectively down to 2 RB's and the bare minimum TE's...it's hardly any wonder they went 3 and out in the first 3 straight series' last week.
They figure to be very one dimensional again, so as much as they want to get something going, I'm not sure they'll be able to.
Looks like Hasselbeck won't play at all for Seattle...Wallace the first half and Greene the whole second.
I reckon both teams will want to get this one over and done with as quickly as possible.
