Didn't get a chance to post plays last week(at least not that I can find), and only one play week 1. So 0-0-1 coming in to today. Going to lock these in now just to make sure they're in:
Ravens -11 L
Steelers -3 W
Atlanta +4 W
Liking the Ravens to bounce back offensively at home in a real talent mismatch. Seneca Wallace is going to have a long day in Baltimore I think. Someone on that Ravens D probably houses one.
Steelers D just too much for Freeman I think. I love Freeman going forward in his career, but to think he'll be successful against them this early on is hopeful. Nothing is impossible in the NFL, but the chances just aren't likely IMO. Another defense that either sets their O up for a score with a short field(30 or in) or takes one the whole way. James Harrison and Troy Polamalu are playing like they're battling eachother for the defensive POY.
Like this spot for Atlanta. NO coming in with a short week off an emotional win on the road. Atlanta can run the ball and keep Brees off the field for the most part. They also have the safe passing game with Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez to be successful on 3rd down, something that is huge on the road. Just don't like the NO offense much yet this year. Pierre Thomas is their all-downs back now it seems, and that is a miscast role for him. They miss Mike Bell maybe even more than Sean Peyton realizes right now. Someone to take the load off of Pierre is necessary.
Probably a few more to add. Liking Colts and Dolphins a lot.
