Washington comes in with the 12th ranked defense in the league, and Caronlina has the 23rd. Washington's weak opponents may skew this number a little. Washington has always collected overpaid spolied athletes. Carolina has the talent, and will be hungry this Sunday after getting embarrassed by Dallas in the 2nd half. The Skins avg only 13 pts on offense against ST. Louis, Detroit, and Tampa, thats pretty damn sorry. I see Carolina exploding on offense today, and win by atleast 10 points.
CARONLIA -5
Cleveland at Buffalo. Both teams are ranked towards the bottom when it comes to defense. With Marshawn coming back today, the Bills will have more balance in the backfield, with Lynch as the power running, Fred Jackson will be more effective as a change of pace back. Cleveland's offense got going last week with Anderson back at QB, he has a better feel for this offense, and should do well against Buffalo's. I see a high scoring game here, the total has a lot of value opening at 38 and will probably be around 42 at game time.
OVER 42
Oakland AT GIANTS...Oakland actually has a very good passing defense, but this may be due to the fact they are always getting blown out and teams are running against them, hence their 26th ranked rushing D. As we all know, the Giants have the best defense in the league, and the Raiders are actually ranked in the middle in overall defense. Oakland has been anemic on offense (Russell sucks), and the I can't see them getting off on the Giants. Rain is expected, and the line has dropped almost 4 points from 42. I can't see the Raiders putting up more than 2 FGs in this game.
UNDER 38
