22-17-2 +1.69
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3.5, 1 unit: The Ravens just haven't been the same on the road and while their run defense looks strong, their secondary looks shaky. With the news that Evans and Jackson will go today I like the home team's chances of keeping this game within a FG.
Cleveland Browns -1 (-118), 1 unit: Quite simply I'm just not impressed with Pittsburgh this season. I'm just not sure what they do well. Big time momentum for Cleveland with a strong comeback last week, even against a shaky Titans team. This Browns team is looking for revenge for Week 1, at home, where they've played well this season.
Buffalo Bills +3 (-135), 1 unit: The public has a short memory. Two weeks ago the Patriots were the worst team in the world. Then they beat Cincy and now they are favored on the road in a division game against a tough defense? Orton managed the game nicely last week and I think he does the same here. Look for two strong defenses to overwhelm two mediocre offenses and I'll gladly grab the points with the home team.
New York Giants +3 (-135), 1 unit: The Eagles have been smoke and mirrors this season. The Giants have turned it around after realizing they are supposed to hold on to the ball and take it away instead of give it away. The additions of Beckham, Jr and Williams give the Giants weapons they didn't have earlier, and other than tempo it may make them a more dangerous offense than the Eagles. Philly is too beaten up to continue to pull wins out of thin air and I think it ends tonight.
Minnesota Vikings -2 (-115), 1 unit: Another example of the public with a short memory. This is not the Vikings team that played at Lambeau on Thursday. This is the team that beat Atlanta, at home, with Bridgewater. On the other hand you have the Lions who are bad away from home without Calvin Johnson (or with a limited CJ if he plays), without Reggie Bush, and with poor special teams.
