3 Plays for week 3:
Atlanta (+4.5) over New England (4 Units)
People seem to be assuming that the Patriots will rebound here, but seeing them over the the first 2 week in person, Brady has been very shaky, missing wide open receivers at an alarming rate, he clearly isnt not mentally over the injury. What is more, without his favorite target Wes Welker, who is most likely going to be out another week, Brady only has Randy Moss (who will be doubled a lot) and Watson who he has a comfort level with. Atlanta has one of the best running back in the league in Turner and a good air attack with White and Gonzalez. Its going to take Brady more games to get back in rhythm, meanwhile the Patriots will lose this game. Final Score: Atlanta 24-22
NY Giants -6.5 over Tampa Bay (3 Units)
Tampa Bay’s secondary is in shambles right now allowing 268 yards per game. Their run defense has been just as bad, allowing 168 yards per game. The Giants passing attack has been surprisingly strong and Jacobs is still a force on the ground. Tampa Bay will try to run the ball, and will do so somewhat effectively, but look for the Giants offense to put up a lot of points on Tampa and force the Bucs to the air when the Giants pass rushers will wreak havoc on David Garrard. The Giants over the last few years have been a terrific road team as well. Final Score: NY Giants 31-17
Baltimore (-13.5) over Cleveland (4 Units)
Brady Quinn just might be the worst starting QB in the NFL at the moment and with having Jamal Lewis miss the game with a hamstring injury will only put more pressure on Quinn to carry the offense. It’s not going to happen. I will be surprised if Cleveland scores more than 10 points in this game. On the flipside, Baltimore has been running and passing at will in their first 2 games against KC and San Diego and look for that trend to continue here. Baltimore will use a good running attack to open up the passing game for Flacco and ring up 30+ points on Sunday. Final Score: Baltimore 34-9
Good luck with all your bets.
