6-Unit Game of the Month. #219 Take Buffalo -2 over Miami (10/4 Sunday - 4:05 p.m. EST)
Maybe it's just me, but I fail to see how this Dolphins team can win here without a quarterback. No matter how impressive the Wildcat formation can be, you can't win NFL games without zero production from under center. And not to pressume too much, but I don't see Chad Henne or anyone else moving the ball through the air. And let's remember, this Bills defense pretty much owned Tom Brady and the Patriots for 57 minutes in their opener and held the explosive Drew Brees to just 172 passing yards and no touchdowns. And with Marshawn Lynch's suspension over, he can add another dimension to this offense to compliment some good things that Fred Jackson has done. Buffalo is 25-7-1 ATS in their last 33 games vs. losing teams. Miami isn't scoring enough to change their doughnut in the win column. We feel confident Buffalo's defense will continue to carry the load, while Trent Edwards and the Bills offense makes enough plays to leave Landshark Stadium with a divisonal victory.
3-Unit Play. #203 Take Tennessee -3 over Jacksonville (10/4 Sunday - 1 p.m. EST)
Must win here for the Titans. And you can argue it was just that for them last week against the Jets. But Tennessee did have a lead and the ball in the second half, well, before their punt returner fumbled the ball to swing the game. But the Jags defense isn't any good and right now I still see more in an 0-3 Titans team than a home Jacksonville team. We'll lay the number on the road in this divisional tie.
2-Unit Play. #207 Take Cincinnati -6 over Clevelnd (10/4 Sunday - 1 p.m. EST)
It's the Bengals defense that has me impressed so far. Cincy has done well to turnaround with a 2-1 mark after a tough loss to begin the season. But right now you can't say enough bad things about the Browns, so laying some points doesn't seem all bad. We'll fade Cleveland and back Cincinnati off their big comeback win over the Steelers.
3-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay/Washington Under 37 (10/4 Sunday - 1 p.m. EST)
There's just way too much offensive ineptness between these two struggling teams not to get on the 'under'. Tampa Bay is starting rookie Josh Johnson, who didn't even play I-A football, so no way he doesn't hit a wall in first ever NFL game. And as far as Washington is concerned, I see more of the same with an offense that continues to sputter. Neither will get 20, but if one does, the under still will be good. 17-14 type of game.
