NFL double header tonight and the more I broke down and analyzed these two games the more I got excited.
Four teams, two games.
Out of the four teams that are playing tonight, three of them have top five defenses.
Which one of the four teams in action tonight DOES NOT have a top five defense?
Times up. If you guessed you fancy Buffalo Bills, you'd be correct.
Johnny Olsen will tell you the valuable prizes you just won.
SF, Pitt, and Wash all have top five stellar defenses in the NFL
In just about any all defense team metrics you wish to apply.
Facts are facts.
Buffalo while not measuring up to the aforementioned three teams have a mediocre defense, nothing to write home to mother about, but not so shabby. Just so-so.
I really don't think you'll be seeing a lot of offense tonight.
Remember now just because you may not see a lot of offense tonight doesn't always make for a good total over/under bet, A good defensive team play or two can sink your under bet as easy as a hail Mary TD catch can.
Use your head and think things trough before wagering a game total
Game 1
That team from Washington plays against that team from Pittsburgh.
That team from Pittsburgh is undefeated and is getting all the headline sports news.
That team from Washington gets laughed at for playing in a Pop Warner league (Division)when every team has a losing record.
While the Steelers are a very good football and their record is 11-0 I believe they overhyped,
I grew up a Giants fan and still am.
I watch every NFC east game I can, and that includes that team from Washington.
Despite what their record says, they are developing into a very good football team.
Yes Alex Smith is not exciting, McKissic and Gibson may be the best two backs that you don't know much about, and McLaurin (yes he's playing tonight) and is developing into a fine young receiver.
The best thing about Washington is their defense.
Both teams are the best in the NFL in pass defense your best chance on offense is to run on them and with the bulk of the Pittsburgh offense running tonight will probably belong to Benny Snell who really doesn't scare me.
I'm up against the clock here, dinner is ready.,
I'm not saying Washington is clearly the better team, but they are a lot closer to Pittsburgh than you think they are.
The NYG and that team that plays in DC are clearly teams on the rise that has figured it out Gimme the 6 points here.
The total at 43.5 is razor sharp.
Any game like this with a betting line between 42 and 45 is razor sharp as one play on either side of the ball can make or break your bet.
Washington +6
And I am confident of this
More on game 2 later.
Not for nothing SF -2 looks good to me.
More later if I don't eat my dinner now, the dog will
