minnesota points and moneyline
kansas city points and moneyline
cleveland points - nothing on moneyline
buffalo under the total
vikings ... better team getting points. bears likely to have trouble running the football in this game and being without lloyd hurts. minnesota is no prize but theyre a little better across the board. bears numbers look ok on paper but they might end up as an nfc north afterthought a month from now. just not buying into them as they are the epitome of mediocre. good enough to compete in every game but not good enough to lay points to any formidable opponents.
chiefs ... tennessee is just ridiculously overpriced right now. true line on this game is probably titans (-3) but titans early surge pushes this number out into a range it has no business being. kc isnt exactly an explosive home dog but they are very live from a situational perspective. and their home field cant be underestimated. this isnt antiseptic ford field with no atmosphere.
browns ... cleveland showed me something on monday night. they actually used their bye to get healthy and start playing football like they are capable. interesting to note how teams traveling off of a monday night game have performed this year. normally you would think 'clunker' but that has not been the case at all. for the first time all season the browns actually stretched the field and took advantage of their offensive weapons. skins secondary beat up and edwards seems rejuvenated for cleveland. somebody is winning this game by a field goal.
bills ... buffalo is not an 'over' team despite some of their early season finals. number probably shouldnt be in the 40s here. obviously san diego has a quality offense, but there's something about the 3 time zone travel that throws off even the best offenses. the bye came at a good time for the bills because it allowed them to refocus and tighten up a D that got torched by arizona's short passing game. cardinals basically never threw the ball more than 10 yards. they just abused the buffalo defense with slants and short stuff. but aside from that game the bills D has been pretty solid. first team to 20 wins this game.
