When you look @ JAX's QB stats & see 54% comp rate, 2 sacks, 3 INTs & only 159 yds, you would say the "D" did their job & it was prob another JAX blowout. You would be wrong. That’s because CLE's QB completed only 39% w/not much pressure & his receivers getting open on critical downs & in the endzone. To say Hoyer sabotaged his team is a major understatement. I just needed him to have a slightly below avg gm & CLE would've covered. Besides CAR, who I said would take advantage of GB's league worst run "D" then proceed to pass 39 times to 25 runs, the rest of my plays did very well. Hope to get off the POW schneid here.
POW 4-3, Teasers 3-4, Overall 18-15-1
MIA (-6) is off an impressive win @ CHI that prompted locker room infighting for da Bears. The highlight was again Ryan Tannehill who has been very efficient since the “O” has incorporated more read option & Wallace not dropping as much balls. The oline has been very strong too as evidenced by Lamar Miller’s emergence @ RB. When Pouncey returned from injury, MIA moved him to RG & kept Satele @ C. A lot of nice runs by Tanny & Miller have come on the rt side, w/1[SUP]st[/SUP] rd pick Ja’Wuan James doing well @ RT as well. Fellow rookie Jarvis Landry emerging as a fav target, combined w/TE Clay looking healthier, have also contributed to MIA’s “O” success. Enter JAX, who are also off a big win (their 1[SUP]st[/SUP]), & riding a nice high. CLE however sabotaged themselves last wk as they went away from the run gm thinking Hoyer could take advantage of a poor pass “D”. But JAX forced 3 sacks & an INT, & contained CLE’s vaunted run gm. MIA is running such a balanced “O” rt now that I don’t believe they make the same mistake as CLE. Miller & Thomas will get their yds, which will set up MIA’s passing gm nicely. MIA’s receivers are head & shoulders better than CLE’s (& PIT’s for that matter) so I see them having much better success thru the air. Through in JAX’s injuries to “D” captain Posluszny (on IR), CB Alan Ball & his backup Alan Gratz, & times won’t be any easier vs MIA’s streaking “O”. MIA’s “D” is currently 4[SUP]th[/SUP] in total yds & 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] against the pass. So I don’t think Bortles’ struggles are going to improve here. Denard Robinson’s good gm last wk brings hope to JAX’s “O”, but since the return of S Reshad Jones, MIA’s run “D” has gotten much better. MIA’s “O” & “D” IMHO are both better than CLE, TEN & PIT’s, JAX’s last 3 opponents where they were very competitive. If MIA limits the TO’s, this will be an easy blowout.
