Every yr I think my POW can go perfect, then wks like last wk happen where players like Roethlisberger & Palmer conveniently forget how to play football, that makes that dream seem an impossibility. Indeed both PHI & BUF played inspired ball, but even when those 2 QBs had receivers open or time in the pocket, they still misfired. PIT was definitely one of the worse beats I’ve ever had here at the fine RX forum. Since last wk seemed to be a dark day for the public, I’m betting this wk the house gives back.
POW 1-1-1, Teasers 2-1, Overall 7-6-1.
DEN (-3) could not imagine a better start to their title defense than this. A gritty win in their SB rematch, a test against one of the best QBs in the gm, & then a dominant performance @ CIN. Trevor Siemian has been a renaissance thus far. How proud must Kubiak be of his decision to go w/the unproven 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] yr signal caller over a veteran QB the team traded for, & their 1[SUP]st[/SUP] rd draft pick? Indeed this is not an easy rd trip as TB is forecasted for thunderstorms & 90 degree temps. However, TB’s “D” has been very weak over the top where Siemian proved he could go @ CIN last wk. So if he can overcome wet conditions & get some help from his RBs, I have no doubt Sanders & Demaryius can get open deep. On the other side of the ball is where I’m more confident. DEN has been relatively weak against the run so far, but w/Doug Martin out, Chris Sims has been terrible between the tackles. He’s done well w/screens & dump-offs, but DEN’s attacking “D” will be able to contain that. Due to digging themselves into early holes & a lack of a run gm, Winston has been forced to throw a gross amount of times. DEN’s secondary can be had, but that’s normally when the opponent’s run gm is working. If DEN’s front 7 is allowed to pin their ears back on obvious passing downs, you often get sacked QBs. Through 3 gms so far, TB has given up a league worst 101 total pts. Throw in DE Ayers being out 1 more gm & that’s less to worry about for DEN’s oline. Weather could make this close (not to mention public all over DEN), but I feel they can cover a FG @ one of the worse home field advantages in the NFL (18-41-1 ATS @ hm).
