Spent most of my morning watching Short Cuts(the greatest capping tool known to man, IMO) and a few things I picked up.....
- Detroit looked incredible Sunday. The final score and stat sheet does not do justice to the domination they laid on the Bucs. I think you mentioned earlier in the thread about possibly teasing them down and if 7 point teasers are available, I think knocking them to 2 is a smart play.
- SF looks atrocious. Seattle is a real dogshit team(although their D looked pretty good) and SFs offense was pretty sad. Their o line did little for the running game, and while their defense was pretty good, I counted a good 7-8 plays where Jackson misfired and almost any decent QB out there would have made those plays. I think I'm gonna roll with Dallas -3 next week although I still need to do some research before I fire.
- While I like Houston on a whole, that Indy rout might be a little misleading. At one point, Collins fumbled twice(both unforced errors) in his own RZ that led to two quick Houston tds and completely changed the complexion of the game. Throw in a punt return and Indy shooting themselves in the foot with penalties every time they built momentum on a drive, and that rout was a bit misleading.
One game I missed recording was the Bear-Falcon game. Were the bears that good, or were the Falcons that bad? I'm sure Atlantas rushing line was a bit skewed as they were playing catch up, but how their running attack l

Yeah Detroit really did look strong. They flat out manhandled Tampa Bay. Only losing by 7 is flattering to the Bucs because they were smacked. The Lions defensive line is scary. Like I said earlier I don't see KC winning this game SU. Anybody can beat anyone in this league but my jaw will hit the floor if KC manages to win this game SU.
As far as Atlanta they looked really sloppy last week. I'm not sure the Bears dominated them it's just that Chicago came to play and capitalized while the Falcons played like shit. They had turnovers on offense and couldn't tackle anybody defensively, those two long screen passes were embarrassing efforts on Atlanta's part. I will be on them this week because I'm not sold on the Eagles and this is a statement game. I didn't like the middle of the Eagles defense coming in to the year and they didn't look good last week either. Who knows what would have happened if the Rams didn't get hurt. They lost their starting RB, QB, best WR, starting RT, starting Safety, and best corner last week. Jackson gashed them for that long play and even Cadillac Williams came in and ran for over 90 yards. I think the Falcons can have success pounding at these guys with Turner and Snelling which will open up the rest of the field.
And like I said this is a statement game for Atlanta. Questions are flying about Matt Ryan right now, he has to play well here. They are coming off a drubbing and the last two times they have been on national TV they lost to the Saints at home on MNF and were spanked by Green Bay in the playoff game. Atlanta made all their changes in the offseason to beat these exact type of teams. If they can't do it then cross off the Falcons because they will be finished. Interesting stat I dug up: Under Mike Smith Atlanta is 10-0 ATS after losing a game SU and failing to score 21 points. In those 10 games they have averaged 34.4 points per game and 406.2 yards of offense.
