Still kicking the tires on this 13 pt teaser… but this looks like a week where the dogs could bounce back (with some help).
Raiders +16.5
Raiders are playing reasonably well, and have to be looking for a bounce back after getting pummeled by the chargers. Geno or the OC made some terrible calls that they hopefully won’t repeat. Commanders got whalloped by GB. The Raiders certainly aren’t GB, but the commanders are overhyped and I think the raiders can keep this one reasonably close if Geno doesn’t implode.
Giants +19
The Giants are terrible, but KC isn’t much better. Edge goes to KC, and they need the win, but most of their wins are by 1 TD even when they are firing on all cylinders. Giants showed some signs of life against Dallas, hopefully they can keep that going.
Dolphins +24.5
Continuing the trend, the Dolphins have also been sucking, and the Bills are on fire. This is one I may yank before game day, but I think we see Tua start to play better at some point, and I’m not sure the Bills can put up third huge game in a row. This just feels like a regression game to me.
Titans +16.5
Titans have been playing better than the dolphins, who booked a 8-33 loss against the colts in a horrific season opener. The Colts are a team to watch, but they faltered against the Broncos and that penalty really saved them, and turned the tide of the game. No illusions about who will likely win this game, but Tennessee is performing better out of the gate than most expected and I think the titans can keep it somewhat close.
Rams +16.5
The eagles barely edged out wins against Dallas and KC, which is not exactly the feat it used to be. Think this is probably anyone’s game, but if it’s anything like the eagles first two games, the Rams have a good chance of keeping it close, if not winning outright.
Lions +18
Lions are the same team they were last year, sans coaching staff. The ravens are the team to beat right now and I’m not sure the lions will have an answer to bulldozer-Henry, but it’s hard to pass on the lions in what could be one of their largest underdog spots of the season.
A lot of logistics for a +110, but I think this is a week to root for the dogs, with some insurance.
