254 ATLANTA -2.5 (1.93). $100 to win 93.
265 Carolina +14 (1.88). $100 to win 88.
274 NY JETS +7 (1.93). $100 to win 93.
Some logic on these games:
ATLANTA:
*The two WASH wins against Ariz/Den don't look so good anymore.
*Keep an eye on the WASH coaching situation. If Howell plays well and the Defense continues to struggle, Bienemy would be a logical replacement for Rivera under new mgmt.
*There's a saying that the best NFL capper does well to capture 3 on a mis-price. I think that's the case here. Median should be 3 here (IMHO), not 2.5.
CAROLINA:
*Based on their lack of SU/ATS success, Panthers are a contrarian candidate.
*As hi-octane as Miami is, they will be without two key cogs. OT Armstead out again, and speedy RB Achane now out, too.
*Don't blow off the Achane absence. He was putting up Nintendo YPR stats, and his presence was creating an unfair matchup. Ask Sean Payton about Achane.
NY JETS:
*Strength of Schedule edge to the Jets.
*Eagles don't look as sharp as last year. Will struggle to cover a margin.
*Notable difference in Jet potency with explosive RB Hall back in the lineup. They missed Hall badly in the 2nd half of 2022.
