YTD 1-1
Ok, this one might be considered a reach but I don't think so. After a nice emotional win against Indy, New England goes to the desert to play lowly AZ. New England has had 10 days off since the Indy game and may be a bit rusty. Moreover, I think it will be difficult for NE to be at its emotional best against an opponent that has been a doormat for so long.
AZ lost to St. Louis last week but played them tough. I think this AZ team may surprise people this year and will be very competitive in every game. I'm banking on it today. Dennis Green is the best coach AZ has ever had and he needs to establish credibility now. What better opportunity than by beating the Superbowl champs in his home debut. Maybe not, but I like AZ's chances to keep it close. I think this game will be decided by a field goal. Getting 8 (some books have it at 9) is great value.
AZ + 8 is a sleeper with bite.
