    I've been rolling with Houston's defense with a mix of Philly for like the past 2 months. Houston is playing Indy, so I want to avoid that situation altogether. Think it will be high scoring.

    NYG Def vs. Washington: So we all know what happened earlier this season with Cousins. Looks like RG3 will be in, so there's always that risk of an explosion. I'm really not liking the the O/U is pretty high at 47. Giants DEF took care of business last week, but that was a pretty rare occurance. I figured they're good for about 3-4 sacks and 1 pick/fumble recovery. 

    Tenn DEF or NYJ DEF (Either): I'm using gamblers mindset with this. Surprising that a capable QB in locker is +2 at home vs. the terrible Jets. Low o/u so I can't get beat up too badly, but not much upside. Tenn only has DD points once this year (JAX), and Jets secondary is terrible.

    TB DEF at Carolina: TB Def getting better, but not elite by any sense. Strictly be a play against Derek Anderson, but he's been pretty good so far surprisingly.

    CLE DEF vs. Cin: Cleveland destroyed them in the first meeting. Not much upside in my opinion, and very dangerous matchup. Cleveland is stil favored though in Manziels first start. 

    Philly DEF vs. Dallas: I really like Dallas to cover this week, but PHI DEF is full of playmakers and it is Romo in December. That O-Line though, could limit sack opportunities. Plus I have Demarco Murray.

    Thanks, I'm leaning that way because it's a great matchup, but the way they pummeled the skins earlier this season makes me wary.

    I hate betting on history to repeat itself, because it usually doesn't happen in betting, but the line has been adjusted since the first meeting.

    Coly McCoy is not as turnover or sack prone as RG3. But hopefully he screws up enough.

    I actually think and hope the revenge game will be Dallas +3.5 at Philly. That's why I'm not playing their defense instead. I expected that line to be -5.5 to -6.5, and maybe even as much as 7.
