Chargers +7 over Patriots

Chargers/Patriots Over 47

We are tracking the weather in Foxboro and it looks like the really bad weather will start after the football game. San Diego is rolling right now and looking to take advantage of a Patriots Defense that was exposed early on and now injuries will expose them once again. This team is banged up on all three levels of the defense and really will miss Donta Hightower being on the sidelines for the rest of the season. San Diego has the most accurate QB in the last decade and this team is as hot as anybody right now. New England has their own offensive weapons and it’s hard to believe they will get shut down at home, but San Diego does have the defense to keep them in this game for four quarters. I would not be shocked to see the upset. Take the Chargers and the Over.

Washington State -2.5 over Arizona

Washington State is a great team that had a head scratching loss two weeks ago to Cal, but came back with a shutout win last week. This team is stacked with multiple receivers and running backs and one of the best QB’s the PAC 12 has seen in Luke Falk. Arizona is a one trick pony, but very good at what they do which is running the football. Washington State has the speed to slow down the run and are more prone to losing to a team that can sling the ball up and down the field. That is not the case today. If Arizona gets behind to this quick strike Cougar Offense they won’t be able to catch up. Arizona is a very young team with 27 freshman on the roster and I just don’t see them being balanced enough on offense to beating a team like this. Take Washington State.

Rotation #457-458

Vikings -4 over Ravens

Joe Flacco has looked awful this year, but much of it has to with injury. The Ravens don’t have an offensive line that can win at this level on the road. The Ravens lost a guy to retirement right before the season and two starters are on IR. This team doesn’t have that many quality backs and the running game will suffer with Terrance West out of this game. At receiver the Ravens are thin with Wallace and Maclin still not 100 percent. This is an offense that is going to struggle against a great front seven and against great shutdown corners. Baltimore has been vulnerable this year against the run so I do expect Minnesota to move the ball. The Vikings have a few good running backs and Case Keenum has filled in very nicely at quarterback. Baltimore’s offense puts them in a position to turn the ball over which will lead to Minnesota points. Take the Vikings.

Arizona -3.5 over CAL

CAL was supposed to be one of the bottom feeders of the PAC-12 but have been pretty impressive this year with the few tools they have. This passing defense has held their own against some really good quarterbacks. The problem for CAL is they are facing a heavy run team. Arizona is so good on their offensive line and have so many guys that can run the ball including the quarterback. CAL is not good enough offensively to stay in this football game. Look for the Wildcats to control the clock and score on the ground at will. Take Arizona.

Rotation #257-258

Saints -4 over Lions

Detroit comes into this game with Matthew Stafford nursing an ankle injury, two offensive linemen on the right side most likely out and on defense a ton of injuries on the front 7.  The Saints are the best defense in the NFL over the last two weeks which is shocking to say.  Drew Brees is a tough QB to beat in his own building and should find his targets today against a banged up Lions Defense.  This turf is not ideal for QB’s that are not 100 percent on their feet.  A big part of Stafford’s game is taking off when routes breakdown.    Take the Saints.

Colorado/Oregon State Over 56

Last season Colorado went up and down the field on Oregon State so I don’t see much changing. The Buffs have multiple great running backs, a mobile QB and a ton of receivers. This offense is better than the defense in front of them. Oregon State is getting healthier and they too have a bunch of good backs and a great back in Ryan Nail. This team has a few underrated receivers that should get separation against a CU Secondary that has young players. Both teams should light up the scoreboard today. Take the Over.
