Phew, needed that. HOU held on @ ATL to barely beat the #. Ridder had the gm of his career in time for me to squeeze, after having ATL on my slate the last 2 wks. MIA covered the large # @ hm against the lowly NYG, despite Tua’s 2 awful INTs. Burrow finally woke up to take care of business @ ARI & PHI spoiled Kupp’s return in LA, for my 2 losses. Teaser hit despite the early scare in London w/BUF almost losing by 10. Much needed winning wk for the Worm.
Regular Season POW 2-3, Teasers 2-3, GOY 0-0, Overall 10-15-1 (12-15-1 Undocumented)
JAX -3 ½ is off a 2-gm “hm stand” in London where they had 2 convincing wins against ATL & BUF. They may have a London hangover here back @ hm, but they did beat LAV last yr as a dog off their 1 London gm. Pederson is a savvy coach & I feel he gets his team mentally & physically ready for the next gm. And no extra motivation is needed here as IND comes in for a div gm w/the South on the line. IND will also be behind the 8-ball here w/a slew of key injuries. Obviously the Richardson injury @ QB is big, although Minshew has been very serviceable, & once started for JAX, so he’ll be used to EverBank field. The rest of this dome team might be a different story. JAX has won the last 8 gms (SU & ATS) vs IND @ JAX, dating back to Andrew Luck & Matt Hasselbeck. So historically the Colts do not travel well to hot & humid JAX. IND were fav’s in all of those tilts except for 2, where JAX won by 35 & 20 pts. IND has pieces on “O” w/Pittman, Downs, Taylor & Moss to help Minshew-mania run wild on JAX, which is why they’ve scored @ least 21 pts every gm thus far. But w/out their star olinemen Kelly & Braden Smith here, JAX’s solid “D” may drop the Duval elbow on any IND scoring. W/out the dual threat Richardson & Minshew being more 1 dimensional, I feel Josh Allen & crew can hold IND to their lowest pt total. So Lawrence just needs to take care of the ball & lean on their own studs on “O” in Etienne & Ridley.
