Seattle Seahawks (3-0) at Houston Texans (2-1) The Seahawks are a significantly better team at home than on the road and have been for years. Since 2007, they are 34-18 at home, outscoring opponents by an average of 7.1 points per games and going 36-15 ATS. Meanwhile, on the road,…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns: 2013 Week 4 NFL Pick
Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) at Cleveland Browns (1-2) The Browns won last week in Minnesota, but they will find live a lot tougher this week against the Bengals. For one, they probably won’t be as successful if they try trick play again, like they did last week, when their punter threw…

New York Giants (0-3) at Kansas City Chiefs (3-0) The Giants are an NFL worst -9 in turnovers, while the Chiefs are an NFL best +9 in turnovers. Therefore, the Chiefs should dominate the turnover battle and win this game right? Well, that’s not necessarily true. Turnover margin tends to…

San Francisco 49ers (1-2) at St. Louis Rams (1-2) I legitimately don’t understand this line. Yes, the 49ers haven’t looked good in the past two weeks, but neither have the Rams. Week 2, the Rams were down 21-0 in Atlanta before a combination of garbage time and Falcon injuries allowed…

Last week: 1 Yeah, it was just the Jaguars, but the Seahawks were still impressive, becoming the first team to cover as 19+ point favorites since the 2001 Rams. The previous 6 teams to attempt to do so could not (2002 Eagles, 2007 Patriots 4 times, 2011 Patriots) and the…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#2)
Last week: 3 (+1) The Broncos beat the Raiders badly, but the final score of 37-21 doesn’t tell how big of a blowout it was. The Broncos had 31 first downs to just 1 punt, while the Raiders had 13 first downs and punted 6 times. The Raiders actually won…

Continue reading →: New Orleans Saints: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#3)
Last week: 4 (+1) The Saints have held all 3 of their opponents this season to 17 or fewer points this season, something they did a total of 3 times last season. Young stars have broken out, especially Cameron Jordan, who is playing like an All-Pro back at his collegiate…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#4)
Last week: 6 (+2) The Patriots’ 23-3 win reminded me of how they used to win games when they were winning Super Bowls. That’s definitely getting a little ahead of ourselves, but the defense looks for real. I know the Buccaneers’ offense is terrible, but holding anyone to 3 points…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#5)
Last week: 2 (-3) The 49ers get a pass from me for losing in Seattle because the Seahawks are near impossible to beat at home and they get a pass for last week because they were without Vernon Davis and they were very possibly distracted by the Aldon Smith situation.…
