...but enough messing about, time to get onto the real thing.
KC @ Houston under 38.5
Do Houston have to get 4 TD's to get this one over? KC sure don't figure to be scoring much.
I do like the look of their quick defense tho. They may get worn down late in games by power running teams, but I think they'll be good enough to keep Houston to 24 or less, which should be good enough.
St. Louis +1
For most teams, pre-season means nothing at all. The Rams last year had scores of 19, 20, 12 & 9, going 1-3 (0-4 ats) last year, but came out and av'd over 27 ppg in domes during the season. They also finished strongly scoring 20+ in each of their last 6 games @ 27.5.
So, scores of 13, 13, 10 & 10 with no Jackson and a very vanilla passing game is no concern.
Fox tho, has shown he likes to win pre-season games, going 14-2 SU from 2003-2006!...before a 1-3 this year, and a 7-24 blow-out loss in week 3, in which their defense looked pretty bad, allowing 151 rushing yards @ 4.5 and BRady went 17/22 for 167 and 2 TD's.
Delhomme doesn't look great, they basically have a new coaching staff trying to install new systems and schemes, and they are favoured on the road?
Can't see them winning here.
NE @ Jets over 40.5
Despite all their problems, the Jets actually scored alright at home last year. They scored 20+ in 5 of 8 games @ 19.75 ppg.
NE are scoring machines these days...in their last 10 games, they have scored 24+ in 9 of them! @ 28.4.
With all new weapons to play with on offense, and a Jets D that doesn't look like stopping much, NE should score plenty, and the Jets enough!
Good Luck all
