LAV kept it close in the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] half, but Belicheat proves again his prowess by attacking LAV’s weakness, which is their run “D”. LAV’s oline injuries also proved accurate as NE’s front-7 was able to stuff their run gm & pressure Carr enough to force bad throws. Got lucky w/PIT’s “O” actually carrying them to victory over HOU. Chase Young going down early did not help my WAS/CLE Under as Hunt & Chubb took advantage. CIN managed a tie against the woeful Eagles, GB won a shootout in NOR, & Teaser covered in spades despite stressing the WAS/CLE total to cap another winning wk.
Regular Season POW 2-1, Teasers 2-1, GOY 0-0, Overall 9-7
MIA +6 struggled early in the yr thanks to a COVID restricted offseason & so many newcomers on both sides of the ball. Fitzmagic is the only player over 30 on the entire roster, so the learning curve was steep. Their “D” actually did decently against Scam & NE the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] wk, struggled mightily vs Josh Allen the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] wk, but completely shut down the Jags last wk. Improvements are evident across the board on “D”, however the secondary is still a work in progress & now will be w/out high priced FA Byron Jones. Not good going against Russell Wilson & the high-flying Seachickens, who are #2 in scoring & #5 in passing yds. Although Carson will likely return @ RB, MIA has actually done well vs opposing RBs so far. That’s not the key matchup here however, it’s MIA’s “O” vs SEA’s “D”. SEA is THE worst pass “D” in the league, & Fitz should work magic once again. The public is heavily on SEA, & for good reason. Russell is looking like an early MVP & MIA is, well, MIA. Historically, when SEA was a perennial SB contender w/Lynch pacing the ground gm & the Legion of Boom dominating “O”s, MIA was 2-0 ATS vs SEA. I believe SEA plays down to the Phins. Now they’ll be travelling cross-country to humid MIA where the underdogs should be excited to try to upset the hottest “O” in the land. Biggest loss on “D” for SEA is All-World S Jamal Adams that does it all (run stuff & ball hawk in secondary), which should open up the middle of the field for Fitz. And it’s not like the QB is all MIA has in talent. DeVante Parker could one day be an elite WR, Preston Williams is a huge target @ 6’5, TE Gesicki is continuing his late season surge from last yr, & even 7[SUP]th[/SUP] rd pick 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] yr man Gaskin is proving to be an all-around weapon out of the backfield. MIA’s oline is also improving each wk, so they should be able to offer MIA similar stability that DAL, NE & ATL were able to enjoy vs SEA. Betting on MIA’s front-7 to just make a few key plays somewhere in the gm to allow MIA’s “O” to complete the upset. Homer alert.
