The most prolific offense this season is focused like no other year. They are 5-0 and not only look unbeatable but are unbeaten as they enter their division rivalry game against the NY Jets. Tom Brady is having a season to remember. The Pats have won 7 of their last 8 against the Jets. Brady is 21-7 so is used to having his way. This year, the Patriots look different. Quietly different like they just want to destroy you and then clam up and move on to the next game. Their focus and intensity I'd at a higher level. It's as it they have something they want to prove to the league and to the Comish. They used to do it all with offense ( still are as they are #1 in scoring) but they now have an incredible defense. Even their field goal kicker is #1 in the NFL. Coach Bellichick denies there's an added agenda to this season but early fantastic play won't convince many. His game plan for the Jets is to focus on Chris Ivory. Put a spy on him, box the corners and turn him back inside. He's the only weapon the Jets have that can hurt you. We don't play many favorites but when we do, there aren't many better to hang a hat on than Brady's Patriots.

Zach Mettenberger will start for the Titans with Marcus Mariota injured and on the sidelines. There is something fishy about this game. Something is wrong with the oddsmakers line. Vegas does not give money away for free. We call these "don't make sense" plays. This is the type of game that makes one feel all "warm and fuzzy" when betting the obvious side. This is the type of game you count your money before you even make a bet. Marion's is out. The Titans are 1-11 their last 12 games at home. Their center is out. They allow a zillion sacks per game. Miami destroyed them last week 38-10. Their run game is ranked 21st. Matt Ryan, DeVonta Freeman and Julio Jones are in town as one of the more "sexy" teams in which to bet. Atlanta is coming off a loss and trails Carolina so most equate tgat with added motivation. The Falcons have the 4th best offense and is averaging 410 yards per game. And they are laying 10 or 12 points? 13? Nope, just under a touchdown. Something just "doesn't make sense". There are no free pay days in Vegas for an easy "warm and fuzzy" stone nut for sure bet. Contrarian play at it's finest. TAKE TENNESSEE
