Here's two good teams going at it on the showcase Monday nighter. There is no doubt the Saints are one of the elite teams in the league and their offense is ridiculous at how fast they can move the ball down the field. They are not without flaws as evidenced by the first half in Miami last week. The problem here however is that the Falcons are a decent squad and to be a 10 ½ point underdog against anybody is just flat out way too many points. You have to take the Falcons and the points for a Monday night lock of the week.

 

Miami heads to New York as a 3.5 underdog and these two played a great game a few weeks ago in Miami. After sliding for 3 games the Jets put it all together last week and we're looking for them to do the same thing here. Sanchez looks like he's got things back on track and his receivers all look to be on the same page with him. The Jets had some trouble stopping the Wildcat in their first match-up as do most defense's but the difference here is that they've now seen it up close and personal once and they should be much better at defending it this time around. But that together with Miami's collapse against the Saints last week (these types are losses are difficult to overcome), home field advantage and no doubt some weather a lot different than the sweltering temperatures in Miami the last few weeks and all things point to a Jets score. Take the Jets and give up the points.
