New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills
A young, promising home defense is probably over-matched here with Belichick and Brady coming to town. While the Pats struggled for defensive control against the Ravens, the fact that Jackson and C.J.Spiller are banged up at best (and one or both may not go at all) means that Buffalo will be shifted off their preferred gameplan.
Give the points.
Pick: New England Patriots -3.5 @ 1.91
Pick: 1st TD Ron Gronkowski @ 7.0
Pick: Anytime TD Steve Johnson @ 2.1
New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers
The Saints may have the worst defense in the league, so a visit to a smarting Green Bay is probably the last thing the beleaguered New Orleans organisation needs. On offense they look lost, with Brees guessing under centre.
The Pack should be at least a TD better.
Pick: Green Bay Packers -7 @ 1.95 (Laddies, grab it)
Pick: 1st TD Greg Jennings @ 10
Pick: Anytime TD Jermichael Finley @ 2.25/Greg Jennings @ 2.0
New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles 1.30am Channel 4
The Eagles turn the ball over too much, are weak up front on offense and the Giants' pass rush should give Vick fits. New York will need to be innovative with the ball, but in Manning and Cruz we trust.
Pick: New York Giants +2 @ 1.95
Pick: 1st TD Martellus Bennett @ 13.0
Pick: Anytime TD Victor Cruz @ 2.00
