Some notes on today’s games in case this helps with anyone’s picks:
NEW ENGLAND at BUFFALO
Pats 20-3 SU against the Bills last 23. But, Bills have covered 3 of last 5 in series and Rex Ryan has covered last four and 5 of last 6 vs. Belichick. Also, Belichick 2-7 vs. spread last 9 as visiting chalk. Home team is on a 26-6 ATS run in Patriot games and Pats gave up 464 yards vs. Pitt in week 1. Pats 0-7 ATS run last 7 times after facing Pittsburgh.
DETROIT at MINNESOTA
Minny on 15-8 ATS run since late 2013. Detroit 2-7 ATS away in regular season under Caldwell and now 8-20-1 ATS last 28 regular season road games. Lions 2-9 SU/3-7-1 ATS run at Minnesota.
ARIZONA at CHICAGO
Arians is 11-5 ATS on road in regular season with Cards. Bears only 5-16-2 vs. spread last 23 at Soldier Field. Note: Bears did out gain Pack 402-322 and had 25 first downs last week.
TENNESSEE at CLEVELAND
Whiz is 1-11 ATS off a SU dog win vs an opponent off a SU loss, while Pettine is 6-1 ATS off a SU loss. But, Browns on 1-7 ATS run.
SAN DIEGO at CINCINNATI
Cincy 6-0 ATS run vs the AFC West (big win @ Oak LW) but the visitor in Charger games is on a 6-2 run. SD 12-6-1 as road dog since 2012.
ST. LOUIS at WASHINGTON
Skins on 7-18 spread run, and a hideous 10-24 ATS last 34 games since late 2012. Redskins have failed to get to 21 points in 13 of their last 18 games.
DALLAS at PHILADELPHIA
Philly lost their last 2 home games by double digits ATS. Cowboys have won and covered last three at Philly. Dallas 11-4 as road dog past 3 seasons and covered 8 of 9 away games last year (4-0 Last year as road dogs).
Finally, there are two “circadian advantage” (one team traveling through 2+ time zones the day before playing) games with West Coast teams playing early starts SD at Cincy and SF @ Pittsburgh.
I think this card kind of stinks.
