Sunday Early Games
Atlanta Falcons @ Dallas Cowboys
- Falcons by 2.0
- Over/Under: 45
Dorf-
Dallas and Under
Brandon Weeden isn’t very good but neither are the Falcons. Dallas will find a way to win at Jerry Jones’ Fun Palace.
Downtown-
Falcons and Under
Without Tony Romo, the Cowboys are going to struggle. I like Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and that offense right now. They have a nice defense and should win.
JNC-
Falcons and Under
Dallas won’t be able to keep pace scoring with Brandon Weeden. Also Dallas will be facing a better offense in Atlanta.
Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans
- Colts by 3.5
- Over/Under: 45
Dorf-
Indianapolis and Under
The Colts have been pitiful so far this year, but they cannot continue to be that bad. They will get their rebound started today against the Titans.
Downtown-
Colts and Over
No way can the Colts start 0-3! Luck is too good to lose to a team like the Titans.
JNC-
Colts and Over
Andrew Luck will have a big game and Marcus Mariota will not be able to match him.
Oakland Raiders @ Cleveland Browns
- Browns by 3.5
- Over/Under 42
Dorf-
Oakland and Under
The Raiders haven’t been as bad as expected so far and the Browns have decided to go back to Josh McCown for some reason. So I will take the Raiders.
Downtown-
Raiders and Over
This game will be a run heavy game. The Raiders have Latavius Murray and the Browns have Isiah Crowell. Neither one of them are stellar backs but both teams have a terrible run defense.
JNC-
Oakland and Under
Derek Carr will win the battle of the young quarterbacks. He simply has more valuable options on offense.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Baltimore Ravens
- Ravens by 3.0
- Over/Under: 44.5
Dorf-
Bengals and Over
I really, really like the Cincinnati Bengals this year and I am not so high on the Ravens. Cincinnati and Andy Dalton will get the road win and score a lot of points doing it.
Downtown-
Bengals and Under
This game is a trap and it’s going to hurt my prediction. I’m going to say the Bengals because of the injuries sustained on the Ravens defense.
JNC-
Cincinnati and Over
It will be a close scoring game, but Cincinnati has the offense to beat a lowly looking Ravens defense.
Jacksonville Jaguars @ New England Patriots
- Patriots by 13.5
- Over/Under: 47.5
Dorf-
New England and Under
The Patriots are significantly better than the Jaguars but are they 14 points better. I don’t think so.
Downtown-
Patriots and Over
I feel bad for the Jags who have to travel all the way up to Foxbourgh to get beat..bad too. Give me Gronk and Brady all day in this match-up.
JNC-
Patriots and Over
It shouldn’t be a close game, but expect Jacksonville to put a decent amount of points on the board. Whether early or in garbage time.
New Orleans Saints @ Carolina Panthers
- Panthers by 3.5
- Over/Under: 45
Dorf-
Carolina and Under
Drew Brees is hurt and will miss the game. This spread should be more in the favor of the Panthers.
Downtown-
Carolina and Under
The Saints don’t have Drew Brees and not having Jimmy Graham is clearly showing their offensive struggles. I’ll take the Superman Cam Newton and the Panthers ‘alright’ defense.
JNC-
Panthers and Over
Whether it’s Brees not playing like Brees or not, this NO defense doesn’t look too good and now they have a tough divisional opponent to face. Carolina Cam all day
Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Jets
- Jets by 2.5
- Over/Under: 46
Dorf-
Jets and Under
The Jets have been a huge surprise for me showcasing an elite defense and damn good running game. They will continue that by running over the hapless Eagles.
Downtown-
Jets and Under
I don’t believe the Jets will have Chris Ivory for this game but I don’t like Sam Bradford having to try and beat the Jets defense. He looked terrible last week so I do believe the Jets will win this game.
JNC-
Jets and Under
Let’s face it, the Eagles haven’t done anything offensively. I wouldn’t expect them to snap out of it this week against the Goddam Jets.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Houston Texans
- Texans by 6.5
- Over/Under: 40.5
Dorf-
Tampa Bay and Under
I think that Houston will still win the game but not by a touchdown. Neither team is any good and this game might be hard to watch.
Downtown-
Buccaneers and Over
I wonder who will throw more, the Bucs or the Texans. Right now, neither team looks very good. The spread is too much for the Texans to cover right now so I’ll take the Bucs.
JNC-
Buccaneers and Over
Fresh off a big win in New Orleans, look for Tampa Bay to build on that as they face a Texans team who is also struggling to put up offense.
San Diego Chargers @ Minnesota Vikings
- Vikings by 2.5
- Over/Under: 44.5
Dorf-
San Diego and Over
The Chargers didn’t look good last week after looking great in week one in their comeback win over the Lions. They will throw the ball all over the Vikings, who will have trouble covering Keenan Allen and company.
Downtown-
Vikings and Over
Both of these teams have been pretty good this year or maybe I’m just a biased Lions fan. With the spread the way it is, I like the Vikings.
JNC-
San Diego and Under
I see Philip Rivers having a bounce back game and continuing his connection with Stevie Johnson.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ St. Louis Rams
- Steelers by 1.0
- Over/Under: 47.5
Dorf-
Steelers and Over
The Rams can get to the quarterback at will. However that has never phased Ben Roethlisberger and he will beat the Rams like a rented mule.
Downtown-
Steelers and Over
I don’t believe the Rams have a chance. Bell is returning for the Steelers who already have the best offense in the NFL.
JNC-
Pittsburgh and Under
I see Big Ben wheeling and dealing but between Pittsburgh and St. Louis I don’t see them beating the spread.
