Quote:I don't think Indy can protect luck, and I don't think they have the corners, pass rush, or anything else on D to hang with an offense that's gonna throw the ball as much as the Lions are. They're pretty banged up on D right now. The tacks aren't gonna move the ball much against that solid Vikings D, and their D isn't going to stop AP I don't think. The bears and tinhorns is a toss up for me. I don't think Houston will have much of an offense right away, but their D is good enough to beat Chicago.


FWIW, I was in a sportsbook at Atlantis today, and the Packers are favored by 4 points. Didn't look at the others yet.

 

I hate that I'm so cynical, but that sounds like a great opportunity for easy money. I want to believe the Jaguars realistically can win, but I keep imagining the kind of laugher we've seen elite teams put on the Jaguars repeatedly during Bradley's tenure. Something like 35-3 at halftime with Bortles being sacked 4 or 5 times, Yeldon having a fumble returned for a TD, and the team looking like no matter how much things change they're still the same. I'm desperate for Gus to show he can actually prepare the team to even slow down an elite team and show he's starting to approach the level of good NFL head coach.
