Philadelphia vs Atlanta +1 – O/U 51
This high NFL over under really tells it all here. At least one of these teams is going to score some points here and you can count Philadelphia as the at least. This Eagles team is poised this year and looking to get back to the superbowl. Carson Wentz carved up a Redskins defense that was full of stars like Landon Collins and Josh Norman. Now that he is facing a very inferior Falcons defense in a dome, I expect much of the same. The eagles were in a super bowl hangover last year and were very injured yet still made it to the second round in the playoffs. Wentz looks motivated here and wants to win a Superbowl. Philadelphia has the best offensive line in football and will pound it down Atlanta’s throats like we saw the Vikings do last week. I like this short number you are getting and the Eagles should win by 3.
LA Chargers vs Detroit Lions +2.5 O/U 48
So this is a very interesting line here. +2.5 usually says the home dog is the correct side. Due to this and how bad Detroit looked the last game and in preseason, I really cannot pick a side. The Chargers are actually the best ATS road team since last year. I do like the total in this game and here is why. Last Week Marlon Mack tore this Chargers defense up but they were without starting LB Jatavious Brown. He is questionable this week. The Lions do not have a lot of pass catchers but they do have a good running game with Kerryon Johnson and will utilize it here being that it looks like the Chargers weakness. Last year, the Chargers defense only gave up 20 points per game last year and the Lions offense only scored 20. The Lions are coming off of a heartbreaking tie in overtime while the Chargers are coming off of a close win in overtime. Interesting that 2 teams are playing each other that both had overtimes but I have to imagine that it can’t be good for offense. The under is 5-0 the Lions last 5 games that they were a home dog. Since 2012, the under is 10-3 for the Chargers as a road favorite. Gotta take the high under of 48.
Under 48 – 2 star
Quick Cap:
Cardinals vs Ravens over 46.5 – 1.5 star – The Cardinals play fast under Kingsbury and should be able to throw some wrinkles into their matchup against he Ravens. I like how Kyler Murray knows how to come back in a game. The Ravens had the fastest pace in the NFL last year at 70 plays per game.
Over 46.5 – 1.5 star
Teaser – New York Giants to +7.5 and the San Francisco 49ers to +7.5
