The Doc Explains his Logic: My research continues to show that San Diego is over rated and Minnesota is under valued so 8.5 seems like a lot of points to give. Both offenses are pretty good, so I like the over here as a parlay. I can easily see a 31-24 kind of game.
I can't believe that Tenn is getting two points considering the mess Jax is in right now after firing their starting QB and promoting Luke McKown. I think Tenn wins outright which is why I dropped the two points and went straight money line.
Houston, the Jets, and Pats all seem like safe picks to me this week so I took a 6 point teaser to get the spreads down to where I feel comfortable. Houston should blow out Indy without Manning, the Jets should have no problems at home on 9/11 against a Dallas team with injuries on the offensive line and in the secondary, and the Pats should beat a Dolphins team that looks completely lost by at least 3 points.
The defending Superbowl Champ has won every game since going to the Thursday night Kick-off format. The Saints probably will be able to move the ball, but my research really likes the Packers offense against the Saints Defense so I don't think the Saints can win on the road. Still I wasn't confident about the -4.5 so I just took the moneyline.
Finally, Buffalo getting 6 against a KC team that seems primed to slide this year and has QB questions seems like a good bet. Buffalo was up 17-0 on Jax in the 3rd preseason game with the starters in. Ryan Fitzpatrick went 11/12 for 165 yards and 2 TDs. KC was scoreless in their 3rd pre-season game with starters and Matt Cassel was 6/13 for 59 yards.
