Here we go. Kicking things off on Thursday night, it’s the Eagles vs. the Texans in Philly. The Eagles have sort of under performed in their last couple of games since blowing out Washington. We’re looking for them to bet back on track in a big way and show the rest of the league that they’re a force to reckon with. Take Philly and give up the 8.5
New Orleans vs. Cinci. - Cinci is not playing good football and the same can’t be said for the Saints. They’re firing on all cylinders right now and this looks like a shoot out. Problem is the Saints will likely score touchdowns at a 2-1 rate on Cinci. We’ll go with 56 - 28 for the Saints which will see them easily cover the 7 point spread. As indicated for those of you who like the over unders, this one looks like an easy over.
Buffalo vs Minnesota. - Are you kidding me, the Vikings are 7 point favorites. We don’t think they should be a touchdown favorite against anyone let alone the upstart Bills. We love the Bills to cover that spread and perhaps win this one outright at the Metrodome.
Dallas vs. Indy - Seriously, Indy favored 5.5. Really, did those oddsmakers watch their last game against San Diego? Peyton had it handed to him and when this occurs, he gets off his game. It also doesn’t help that they are banged up beyond belief. Here’s another game where not only do we think Dallas will cover, we think they have a big shot to win it outright.
