2-1-1 +2.2 units
Early plays for this week:
Miami -3 +105 New York Jets
I see this line more as a reaction to Miami's shocking loss than any true judgement of the teams at hand. Last week was a look-ahead situation for Miami, and they fell right into it. The Jets struggled against the Skins last week, managing just over 150 total yards of offense, and I expect them to have even more trouble against Miami. Miami's talent will show up after taking last weekend off.
Buffalo -2.5 Jacksonville (2 units)
I'll start by saying this looks every bit like a trap play. BUT...Bledsoe was able to put up 200 yards passing last week...Jake Delhomme was able to put up 122 and 3 TDs in a 2nd half comeback against the Jags last week. Meanwhile, Carolina's secondary played horrible in their win last week, giving up 256 passing yards. The Buffalo D held Brady and the Pats to under 150 yds passing and had 4 picks last week. Other aspects of teams should be similar, but Bledsoe should be able to pick apart this secondary and Brunell will have a hard time duplicating that effort on the other side of the field.
San Francisco +3 St Louis (2units)
Yes, the miracle man from last year Marc Bulger is back. But don't overlook that it was warner who had 300+ yards against the Giants last week. Also don't forget that the offensive line allowed 6 sacks. The Rams were held under 40 yards in rushing in that effort, and lost 23-13. San Fran did everything right in rolling over the Bears, and I'll take the better team getting the points.
