You mention that the Skins run game is non-existant.  I think you are putting too much stock into just one game (last weeks) as the Skins currently have the 12th best rushing attack through 3 weeks.  At the same time, you mention that the Skins will be facing a similar run defense this week against the Rams.  The Rams are currently ranked dead last against the run through 3 weeks.

I just see this as a game where people are betting the Rams thinking they can't go 0-4 and are neglecting to see that they just aren't very good right now.  This Skins need every game they can get in a tough division and they know it.  They bounce back in this game.

If you have watched any of the Buffalo games, you know that their offense is one of the most efficient in the league with a strong rushing game (fred jackson leads league in rushing yards) and Fitzpatricks quick decision making and audibles at the line will make even a good secondary look bad. Not to mention they lead the league in points per game. and if you think the raiders is an unimpressive win, Ask the Jets about it, Number one defense in the league got demoralized by them last week. More importantly, Cincinatti is easily one of the worst teams in the league. Last week they were 1-10 on 3rd down, and 0-2 in the redzone last week!! THis was also against an extremely overvalued San Francisco team, who despite getting 3 turnovers in their favor, could only beat cincinatti by 5 points. Cincinatti will have to rely on running the ball, Which has been a difficult task for teams playing the bills with their much improved d-line and linebacking core. Also a secondary who just picked off TOM BRADY 4 Times will Shame a quarterback like Andy Dalton and the bills will finally exploit How terrible cincinatti is, which San francisco, Cleveland, and Denver (to noones surprise) were unable to do. So do yourself a favor, and DO NOT Lose your money on the Bengals.  Also, the titans are playing to their full potential, after a tough week one loss. They are also for real still and certainly undervalued this week. Defense is one of best in the league, and they are efficient on offense. Cleveland had to squeak out unimpressive wins agianst Miami and Cincinatti, to be 2-1. they are extremely overrated.

They've been blown out all 3 games and the opposing teams were running the ball more than usual and the Rams defense was mostly not trying because were already down such big leads. Last year they were 8th in rushing defense and have a very good linebacking and Dline. I think your stats here are a bit misleading but I see your point.
