SEA @ SD (+6)
Seattle looked great
against the Packers in week 1. Meanwhile, the Chargers answered the question
“can you ever just be ‘whelmed’?” on offense. While not an under-whelming
performance, they truly looked uninspired in their loss to the Cardinals. I
can’t see them scoring more points on a much better Seahawks defense, even
playing at home. Six points are a lot for a visiting team, but I like the
Seahawks to cover.
Spread: SEA
Straight Up: SEA
Score: 31-17
STL @ TB (-4.5)
I just checked the TV
listings and this game is being blocked out in both the St. Louis and Tampa
local markets. I think everyone would rather watch Shawshank Redemption another time, than be subjected to this. Much
like the Giants, until the Rams prove that they can score, I pretty much like
any team playing them. Lovie Smith’s Bucs couldn’t pull out the victory last
week against a Camless Panthers team. This week, no one really knows who will be
starting at QB for the Rams, but really, does it matter? Since I don’t think
either team is likely to score that much, I’ll take the Rams to cover (moral
victory anyone?), but I like TB to win.
Spread: STL
Straight Up: TB
Score: 13-10
KC @ DEN (-13)

NYJ @ GB (-8.5)
Green Bay had a tough go having to start their season in Seattle. Although the Jets are certainly a lesser opponent than the Seahawks, the Packers may have to try to win without Eddie Lacy. If that is the case, expect a heavy dose of Rodgers to any number of his WR's (particularly Cobb & Nelson). I think the Jets will stick around most of the game, but in the end, Rodgers will always have one last TD in his back pocket. Jets to cover, but Packers for the win.
Spread: NYJ
Straight Up: GB
Score: 27-20
HOU @ OAK (+3)
I feel for Derek Carr. He makes his first career start against a pretty good Jets defense only to go make his home debut against the Texans and J.J. Watt. Oh yeah - he also plays for the Raiders. Neither of these teams looked overly impressive on offense, so I think this game will be close the whole way. I think the Texans are better and the Raiders haven't figured out just yet how to win close games. Texans to win, but I'll take the points with the home Raiders.
Spread: OAK
Straight Up: HOU
Score: 19-17
CHI @ SF (-7)
