Ok! Not the greatest wk for me by far, but it wasn’t a losing wk! So hopefully this wk is another big one. MIA had some key calls go against them, & also shot themselves in the foot a handful of times to keep that one close. Luckily Kenyan Drake’s 95 yd return saved me w/a push. OAK in primetime @ hm came out firing while DEN was completely flat esp on “O”. Then MIN was who we thought they were. DEN almost torpedoed by teaser but scored a rubbish TD to save the day.
POW 4-3-2, Teasers 7-2, Overall 24-14-2 (25-14-2 undocumented), GOY 0-1.
HOU (+2 ½) has been a dichotomy @ hm & on the rd. A perfect 5-0 @ hm but 0-3 on the rd, both ATS & SU. However, looking @ their rd gms they were against MIN, DEN & NE. Despite MIN & DEN’s recent struggles, those are still the best “D”s in the league. At hm they haven’t really had a cupcake of a schedule either as they’ve beaten DET, KC & IND. Osweiler is proving to be a multi-million dollar mistake. An easy case can be made for Brian Hoyer being a better QB than Brock in this “O”. That said, he has his moments & has Lamar Miller fully healthy as well as Hopkins owning a pretty good record vs JAX. If there’s going to be a gm where the star WR finally breaks out, this would be it. He had good numbers last yr w/148 yds & 2 TDs coming @ JAX. Rookie Jalen Ramsey is starting to step it up however, so Hopkins & Osweiler will need to be sharp to have anything near a repeat performance. HOU still sports the #5 “D” in the land & 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] best vs the pass. They are the 5[SUP]th[/SUP] worst against the run, but JAX is weak on the ground. So if they can’t get Ivory & Yeldon going, it’s going to be a typical JAX gm where they’re shut down for 3 Q’s then score some TDs to make it appear respectable @ the end. JAX’s “D” has been slowly improving, but they couldn’t even beat KC w/out their starting QB, RB & #1 WR! HOU is a frustrating team to watch, but they should continue their dominance over JAX here, extending their 4 gm winning streak in this series.
HOU 24
JAX 17
