Last week I did not complete an NFL post because of lack of time (and interest, on my part). I had a couple of personal plays (San Fran, New Orleans) and I went 1-1. This week I'm bringing back the NFL 3 & OUT for your comedy pleasure.
Let's get right to the games...
1. Los Angeles Chargers (-2.5) @ Detroit [-145 & +125 {O/U 47.5}
I'm not a believer in Matt Patricia as an NFL head coach. While I do think the Lions have some talent, I also think that the Chargers are the much better team here. I will say that I've warned people I could be wrong on the Lions so take that into consideration.
Prediction: Chargers 27 Lions 13 LA Chargers to COVER -2.5
2. Seattle @ Pittsburgh (-4) [+175 -200] {O/U 46.5}
While I'm not ready to count the Steelers out after they got throttled in Foxboro, I do think this front of the schedule is brutal, and I think Seattle has a team that's going to cause a ruckus in the NFC this season. The add of JD Clowney to the defense makes them formidable.
Prediction: Seattle 24 Pittsburgh 20 Seattle to WIN on the ML
3. Chicago (-2.5) @ Denver [-150 & +130] {O/U 40.5}
I did not need week 1 to tell me that Joe Flacco was not a good QB. I'm expecting Khalil Mack to feast against this O-Line. What did surprise me was just how bad Denver's defense played last week. Also, Mitchell Trubisky is exactly the QB I thought he would be.
Prediction: Chicago 24 Denver 7 Chicago to COVER -2.5
Going for it on 4th Down.
Jacksonville @ Houston (-9)
As I've stated online, one of my season tasks is to fad the Texans each week and track the results. Last week I picked New Orleans to cover and now I'm down one unit on this. So this week we select Jacksonville to cover +9 and we'll see how it goes.
Enjoy the games however you play, or even if you don't play.
