I think Cousins is a pretty big upgrade from RG3. so the Skins are on my radar. I like your under as I think the Skins D is under rated and Alfred Morris should see a lot of touches mixed with a short passing game....Interesting to see if the line rises to +7.....

I just took the U48.5 in the Denver game, and may add the Broncs as well.
Whats your read on the SD game? Situation is terrible for them etc
Regarding the Chargers, I love them for several reasons. Everyone wants to talk about a letdown spot this week but I disagree. San Diego leaves early this week for the east coast so travel shouldn't play as big of a factor especially since this game is in September and not December. In terms of matchup, San Diego runs a controlled offense. They have playmakers on the outside but they have very good possession receivers who allow them to control the time of possession. San Diego is only averaging 7 yds per pass attempt and through the first two weeks, San Diego's offense is 2nd in the league in t.o.p. and they ranked 2nd in the league in 2013. Rivers is one of the best in converting 3rd downs as San Diego ranks 1st in 3rd down conversions through the first two weeks and they were 2nd in 2013. I love the fact that San Diego has been solid on the offensive line while only allowing 1 sack through the first two weeks while Rivers posts a 100.4 pass efficiency rating. I believe they will match the strength of Buffalo's defense and continue to keep Rivers upright against their pass rush. While I have been impressed with Buffalo's offense so far, San Diego has a very underrated defense as they are only giving up 105 rushing yds per game and they rank 12th in points against (19.5). EJ Manuel has been protected well through the first two weeks but San Diego will test him by sending guys off the edge this week. Manuel is still raw with his progressions so it will be no surprise to see San Diego disguise their coverages this weekend. Buffalo has moved the ball in the first two weeks but they are still near the bottom of the league in red zone scoring and 3rd down conversions. A good part of why Buffalo and Manuel have been able to remain efficient through the first two weeks is because they've played with the lead. EJ Manuel ranks last in the league through the first two weeks in passing attempts. The situation reminds me of Matt Cassel and the Vikings. A strong running game along with the luxury of playing with a lead is not nearly the same as when Manuel will have to put the game on his shoulders this weekend and throw the ball to get his team back into the game. Manuel has been protected by the circumstances which is great for me as a Chargers backer. I believe I'm in a great spot with the Chargers. I have a Chargers team that has better overall personnel on offense and defense and we are catching points against an EJ Manuel-Philip Rivers matchup. The east coast travel is early in the season which is much different than traveling late and I'm catching a great line that has been influenced on the Bills 2-0 record that included a road win against a highly overvalued Bears team. In no way do I believe we will see a letdown by the Chargers in only the 3rd week of football....they will dominate.

I love the Eagles under buddy. Im 2-0 with Eagles totals and this play should take me to 3-0. I really like the Skins defense as I think they've been hurt by the poor play of RGIII. And, I agree, we will see a lot of carries on the ground by both teams. Cousins is a pocket passer without a strong arm so it will be shorter, higher efficiency routes that will keep the clock moving. And, their has been a history of games in this matchup where their have been a lot of big play scoring. This week, I don't see it. Philly, coming off a big win on Monday night, might be a little flat in the first half. I like the Skins in the 1st half and game but the total is a safer bet under the circumstance. Strictly a situational play.

I have no problem with your opinion, I appreciate your post. I'm a Bills fan, however, from what I've researched and what I've seen, objectively, I'm feeling great backing the Chargers this week. Bol

The difference between the Broncos of today and the Super Bowl is that Denver actually has a pretty good front 7 right now. Denver might be the biggest sucker bet of the week, kind of like when Green Bay was catching 6 in week 1. However, I will take Manning and the points in nearly every situation even though I did take Seattle in the Super Bowl. I will hear every reason as to why Seattle won't lose 2 games in a row especially with this game being played at home. But, rest assured, I can list at least 6 solid reasons as to why they do lose the cover AND the game.

...and Ive been a fan of your threads, thanks. I agree with you. Theres no sport, college or pro, that involves as many situational angles as the NFL. Have a great week

Yes, Peyton will find the holes...and so will Denvers rushing attack. But it isn't so much Denvers offense as to why I like the points as it is the defense. I think Denver will contain Seattles offense.

This line is set right, imo. The Steelers aren't as bad as they showed last week and Carolina definitely isn't as good as the score indicated last week. Detroit missed two fg's and they dropped two passes in the endzone, otherwise, the Carolina game has a completely different result. But, as it stands, we as a public compare last weeks results to the current Carolina line and think, "Holy Fukk, I'm all in with Carolina." Nah....I'm not biting. Carolina has no down field threat, Cam isn't even thinking of running with his fukked up ribs and Carolina is also hurting at rb. If anyting, the total, under, is the only play, imo.

Its obviously no secret that Seatle has a distinct home field advantage so we should see the Hawks intensity coming back home after a loss. But, theres nobody in the league that is more intense than Peyton Manning. And, for the first time in Mannings career, he has the mindset that he has something to prove. He's been living with that SB loss for 8 months but Manning is only one reason that I like the Broncos this week. Another huge reason is because of the system that Seattle plays. They live and die with their zone personnel. And, unfortunately, we've seen their LB's exploited last week by big receivers. Manning isn't stupid, he will follow the same formula that Rivers and Gates provided with his own receivers. I'm really looking forward to this game because I love Mannings preparation.This game might be personal for him but I actually believe that Denver matches up as good as anyone in the league with Seattle. Maybe Denver is just a bunch of pretenders, we'll see.

I have absolutely no interest in this game except for maybe the under. I don't know of any solid reason to lay 4 with a Miami offense that wont be able to run the ball and, yet, is so inconsistent through the air. And, KC has failed to show up in the 2014 season. Two dead teams right now.
