JACKSONVILLE -10 over Atlanta---------Vikings were certainly not expected to be a great team.....yet they hold Atlanta to 3 points? Jax defense is better than Minnesota's and they should have good motivation after losing to Tennessee. Jax did 4 home blowouts last year against the Jets, Tennessee, Giants (26-10) and the Colts. Those are some decent teams and there is reason to suspect that Atlanta, this year, is worse than those teams were last year (Lose 13-7.....TERRIBLE rushing offense by Jacksonville)

NEW ENGLAND -3 (-135) over San diego-------------Chargers covered last week but benefited from a +2 turnover ratio vis-a-vis the Bears. I saw the Patriots last week and they looked like they could do anything they wanted to; they just looked too good. With good receivers this year, NE is definitely improved. I don't know is SD is, though. Tomlinson didnt do much vs the Bears and NE's rush defense was BETTER, slightly, than the Bears' last year (Win 38-14)

New Orleans +3 over Tampa teased with NE +3 teased with Jax -3.5 (+160)------------You have to believe the Saints are better than what they did their first game; they had 2 more turnovers than the Colts. The Saints are supposed to be better this year and with Cadillac Williams injured---and listed as questionable-----they should have a major offensive advantage here, despite playing at Tampa. And I think Tampa's offense COULD be just as weak as their 6 points against Seattle seems to indicate.(Lose by 14.......Saints are pathetic but this was a really bad bet. Tampa had Home-off-Road-Loss motivation......New Orleans certainly hadn't proved anything yet......I have Reggie Bush on my fantasy team, maybe that's why i did this. Bottom Line: TERRIBLE bet. This was not a BCLI-caliber bet.)
