    Two for two on NFL weekends so far. Things get a little trickier this week, only two lines I like :

    Atlanta +3.5 at NEW ORLEANS

    Feels like a coin flip, little bit of line value. Atlanta, as predicted, totally demolished a pretty poor Arizona team. They ran all over them (Turner had 75 yards on 9 carries before getting hurt, Snelling filled in with 129 yards on 24 carries). The defense did a nice job in limiting Fitzgerald and containing the Cards for the most part, coming off a nice performance vs. Pittsburgh the week before. Roddy White continues to play out of his mind, and while they don't have much else in the WR department, Tony Gonzalez is still a presence and the running backs, Snelling especially, can catch the ball. Turner is fine btw.

    Playing both in prime time, I've been able to watch every play of both Saints games, and they don't look very dominant. San Fran outplayed them last week (417 yards to 287), but NO got fortunate again in forcing some critical turnovers (turnovers are often the product of luck) that saved them on MNF. It reminds me that the stars aligned for the Saints last year, the defense fits the oppurtunistic, bend-but-don't-break mold, not like a physical beast like the Steelers. The injury to Bush will hurt, although Pierre Thomas is a fine, complete back. The Saints have yet to hit a true long play to Henderson/Meachem/Colston for a TD, things have not come so easy for them in the first two games. This certainly feels like a tight game, and the extra half point makes Atlanta the play.

    San Diego (-5) at SEATTLE

    Before marinersheep chimes in, yes Qwest Field is a nice home field advantage. But it doesn't give the home team any better of an offense, an uninspiring bunch of mediocre question marks. San Diego, on the other hand, is a talented group with excellent play designs by Norv Turner, one of the better offensive minds in the game. Phil Rivers? Stud, smart and steady. Vincent Jackson gone? No worries. Malcolm Floyd jumps right in and will give you about the same production. Antonio Gates is still a beast, the best at his position. Mike Tolbert looked great in filling in for the slow starting Ryan Mathews, and will be getting the workload this week, with wild card Darren Sproles also in the mix. The Chargers week one loss at KC looks like a total, complete fluke with the return TDs, great home field electricity, and the crappy weather (resulting in Floyd slipping on the game tying TD pass.)

    The Seahawks offense is a pu pu platter of mediocrity. Matt Hasselbeck is not revived, he's just old. Their lead running back (Forsett) had 8 carries last week. Deon Butler and Golden Tate have some nice upside, but they are young and the NFL takes times to develop. The big thing I saw from the Seahawks defense last week was Broncos rookie WR Demaryius Thomas shredding them for 8-97-1 in his first NFL action. Along with Eddie Royal in the slot, Denver's passing game had a big day. I think San Diego, with one of the best passing games in the league, will enjoy similar success and win this game by at least a touchdown.

    I don't see how Tennessee +3 against the Giants isn't a virtual lock. The Giants offensive line was absolute shit 5 days ago. Vince Young is not usually that horrendous. Chris Johnson is going to crush the Giants defense.

    Oakland is getting 4.5 points and I think they'll win outright especially with Bruce G. starting at QB. They guy could be the most underrated QB in the league. When he starts the Raiders win.

    I feel very good about the Bears +3. I thought Chicago looked every bit as good as Green Bay last week, if not better. That said, along with being home dogs on Monday night, I love the three points.

    My head says to take the Bears as well, although my heart remains with Green Bay. Peppers has taken that defense to another level, and give them credit for making adjustments (quick hitters) after Cutler was put on his ass early. Green Bay hasn't really been tested yet, and that Bears win last weekend was the most impressive one.

    I like the Colts -5.5 vs Denver. Manning v a beat up Denver secondary, advantage Manning.

    I like the over Minny vs Detroit game @ 42.5. I have no data or evidence as to why I like it. Just a gut feeling I guess.

    Your evidence is that Detroit's secondary is terrible, and the Lions have shown they can put up some points as well.

    This will help the Chargers in the coming weeks.

    Marcus McNeill has reported to the San Diego Chargers, signing his one-year, $630,000 tender, according to sources.

    AFC West blog





    The veteran left tackle must sit out the next three games, however, because he and wide receiver Vincent Jackson were placed on the roster exempt list by general manager A.J. Smith on Aug. 20. McNeill will be eligible to play in Week 6 at St. Louis.

    The two sides have the next few weeks to try to work out a long-term deal.
    McNeill had been holding out in search of a long-term deal with the team.

    While the Chargers had been in talks to trade Jackson, it had not entertained offers for McNeill and San Diego had moved forward without him.
    In McNeill's place, second-year player Brandyn Dombrowski has protected quarterback Philip Rivers' blindside as the Chargers have opened the season 1-1.
    McNeill said on his Twitter account, "great to be back today.. GO BOLTS."

    I love the Redskins this weekend. Im on the other side in the Tampa game, feel like Freeman struggles big time v Steelers D. Didnt bet any of the other games but i gotta ask, how can you possibly like the Jags this weekend?

    I thought both the Lions and Eagles looked lackluster last Sunday. The Eagles defense was pretty awful. They can't get to the passer rushing four guys; they're a small, fast defense. They're finesse. It worked on the road last week against Shaun Hill and the Lions defense; I don't think it's gonna work this week. Vick's performance, to me, was smoke and mirrors. He made a few really, really nice plays but also had a bunch of passes that easily could have been picked off. Jacksonville's defense played hard (and didn't really play that bad) for the entire game last Sunday; they're 1-1 and need to win this game at home to stay above .500. I think they're fast enough and opportunistic enough to make Vick look bad this week. I also think Jones-Drew will be able to run, and Garrard will certainly be able to throw on their defense. I can't emphasize just how awful Shaun Hill was in that game last week. Garrard just needs to give Jacksonville more than Hill gave Detroit, and I don't really think it'll be that difficult to do so.

    Jacksonville will at least keep this game close and have a chance to win outright (I think they will), so I'll take three points all day.
