MIA was terrible on “O” but managed an impressive cover thanks to their unheralded “D”. Tannehill & Wallace really need to get their act together, because Miller is running well & the oline is protecting enough to give Ryan time to throw. Skies the limit for this Dolphins squad, their “O” & coaches just need to catch up. Another team that’s woefully underperforming on “O” are the Detroit Lions. Thanks to their shutout in the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] half in London, my day was sorely hampered. Then to put a cherry on top, GB somehow turns a tie gm late in the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] Q into a 21 pt steamroll by NOR, obliterating my 3 unit teaser. Of course IND got dominated by PIT, but I was pretty wary of that one so that wasn’t a shock.
POW 5-3, Teasers 3-5, Overall 19-18-1
KC (-8 1/2) has won 4 of their last 5 including impressive wins @ SD & MIA, as well as NE @ hm. The big reasons behind their success are an improving “D” & devastating run gm. Bob Sutton’s (former Rex Ryan assistant) “D” is the best against the pass & are 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] in overall “D” & scoring. @ hm their even better w/the anomaly vs TEN in Wk 1 where 3 Alex Smith INT’s greased the skids there. KC’s run gm led by both Charles & Kniles Davis are the best in the AFC @ 140 ypg. This allows KC’s avg oline & Alex to limit TO’s yet wear down opposing “D”s. Pro Bowl S Eric Berry returns which should only exacerbate NYJ’s woes on “O”. Ryan has decided to go w/Vick as his starter which pits him against his former coach that gave him a 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] chance @ football. It’s been a long time since that memorable ’10 yr & Vick is now 34 w/the same TO issues & decision making problems that led to Foles taking over in PHI & Reid losing his job. W/the amount of turmoil surrounding their organization (GM/HC relationship & QB controversy), focus should be a challenge for this Jets team. Now they’re expected to fly out to hostile Arrowhead Stadium, learn w/a new starting QB, face a top 5 “D”, w/a lameduck coach, & win? If Smith was more reckless w/the ball, I’d say NY may have a chance here. But w/Reid knowing Vick’s tendencies, as well as former Jet LB coach Sutton knowing most of his old “D” (not to mention MLB Mauga’s familiarity w/his old team), & KC’s motivation to return to the PO’s, this should be very similar to NY’s blowout loss @ SD.
