Cub Fan Danny was 4-0 last week!
Week 3 NFL
Steelers -1.5 @ Tampa Bay +1.5
This week they are headed into Tampa Bay as a 1-point favorite. How can that be? Are the oddsmakers living on the Steelers of the past or are they not believing in Tampa Bay and their offense?
I told you last week that there was something wrong with the Steelers before the Chiefs game and sure enough the Chiefs went bananas and scored whenever they wanted. Steelers defense is bad. Antonio Brown crying on twitter to a nobody to trade because his feelings were hurt. I think Tomlin has lost his locker room and this team will not win.
What’s not to love about Fitzpatrick so far this year? He has so many weapons to throw to and boy does he love to throw it. His receiver’s lover him because all they want to do is score. In the past Fitz will give you these crazy games in a row and then throw up a 8 interceptions in back to back weeks but this week against a Steelers team that has major issues right now I have to ride the wave with the Bucs.
This will be another shootout and I like TB not only to cover but also win outright.
My play on this one is take the Tampa getting +1.5.
Bears -6 @ Cardinals +6
I am not going to tell you how dominate the Bears defense is. I am not going to tell you that they lead the league in Sacks. I am not going to tell you that they lead the league is Forced Fumbles. I am not going to go on and on how good they are and potentially only will get better as the year goes on. This is about the Cardinals.
THE CARDINALS STINK!
They can’t score, shutout last week against the Rams and 6 points against the Redskins all of which were in the 4th quarter.
Cardinals are last in the league with passing yards, second to last in rushing yards, last in the league total yards per game last in the league in scoring. They have 19 total first downs they are 4/20 in 3rd down conversions and on and on. This offense is poor and their best receiver Fitzgerald might not be playing this week.
Their defense has given up 58 points in two games. Those 2 games were over by halftime and other team didn’t even try in the second half. They are 30th in total defense. Do I need to go on?
I didn’t even mention that this game in Arizona is going to be a home game for the Bears as there will most likely be for Bear fans than Cardinal fans at the stadium.
If the Cardinals somehow score 10 points can the Bears score at least 17? I can see the Bears offense getting better this week getting off to an early 17-0 lead and pounding the rock the remaining game and end up scoring at least 24 to 27 points and AZ maxing out at 13.
Take the Bears and lay the 6.
Buffalo Bills @ Vikings
The Bills are just terrible. If you listened to the over under season total episode, I said I felt like the Bills will be one of the worst teams, if not the worst team in the league this year. If you didn’t take the under for wins, shame on you. The Bills got so spanked last week that Vontae David retired at halftime and didn’t even want to go out for the second half. This offensive line is so poor they are the second most sacked team in the league on top of having a Rookie QB that is nowhere near ready to start.
Going up against a top 3 defense in the league is not going to help the Bills this week. The Vikings offense is also very strong and I can see them stepping on the throat of the Bills early and walk into halftime up big.
My play this week is take the Vikings -10 first half. I can see 17-3 by half. Laying the 17 points is going to be a nail biter as it can possibly be 24-3 by 4th qt and the Bills scoring a garbage TD at the end and covering. That doesn’t mean it end in 44-3, I just don’t want to take the risk of the Vikings running out the clock in the second half and have the starters sit in the 4th qt.
SF +7 at KC -7
Chiefs are laying -7 but it is even money.
This is the home opener for KC so that stadium will be rocking and LOUD, VERY VERY LOUD!
KC Defense is bad but is it so bad because the offense scores way to quick and they are on the field a lot or is it just really bad? The Jury is still out on the KC defense in my eyes. All I can tell you is the offense looks amazing right now and beat 2 good teams that were supposed to challenge for playoff a long playoff run.
Jimmy G has come down to earth from last year and coming off a win against the Lions last week. Jimmy G looked much better last week and so did the 49ers but I am not buying the Lions as a good team this year and nowhere in the class of the Chiefs offensively.
I like the Chiefs at -7 at even money and like them even more if the line drops to -6.5 which I expect it to by this weekend.
Take the Chiefs and lay the points.
