Car -2.5
I just think Washington is over valued because of the Panthers' record. The Panthers have played well all year, especially at home. They beat the Jags in the rain, covered against the Packers, and covered against the Saints. The Redskins are coming off a bad loss in which they got dominated a majority of the game and now have a QB controversy brewing. And also a RB controversy.. They haven't played very well on the road either so far this year. I just think Cam gets it done at home against a team who is finally showing their true colors.
Pit -3.5
Tomlin has said Polomalu is most likely going to play this week so that is huge news for anybody who were considering that the Steelers D was nothing without him. They have the number 1 D in the league through the first 6 weeks and the offense has started clicking a little more with Mendenhall doing a lot of work last week. Mendenhall should be able to have success like Peterson did a couple weeks ago against the 20th ranked D of the Cards. Big Ben to Mike Wallace has been deadly all year also, so they have a 2 dimensional offense. I don't think it'll be as close as a lot of people are thinking, but I could be wrong about it.
Rams/Cowboys over 43.5
Cowboys are ranked 1st against the run but have only played one really RUN oriented offense this year which was the 49ers. (Pats, Lions, Jets in week 1, Washington rushed 19 times vs them so credit here). I think Steven Jackson will have a little bit of success this week and the addition of Brandon Lloyd makes team respect the pass game a little more. Even if Bradford doesn't play I think they will put up anywhere from 17-21 points. And the Cowboys are obviously going to score on their turf against the Rams crappy D. Over 43.5 should be a breeze IMO.
what are your guys' opinions?
