New York Jets -3

When faced with the question before the year, who is more likely to be 0-3, the Dolphins or the Jets, I would have and still do say the Dolphins would be more likely. The Jets have played two of the better teams in the NFL the first two weeks and showed marked improvement from Week 1 to Week 2. The Dolphins meanwhile are still breaking in a new QB and Head Coach; and haven’t looked good in either of their first two games. 3 points will not be a problem for the Jets today.

Pittsburgh Steelers -10

Both teams are 2-0, but Pittsburgh has looked better and is better than the 49ers. 10 points may seem like a lot for a 2-0 team to be getting but that is because these are two very different 2-0 teams. San Francisco has been outgained in both of their wins, last week by over 200 yards. Wins are wins, but the 49ers don’t deserve anyone’s faith at this point while the Steelers have soundly taken care of business.

Denver Broncos -3.5

Denver has eeked out their first two wins which may lead people to believe they are struggling. Don’t forget they are breaking in a new RB with Travis Henry and that they will get better as the year progresses. Buffalo is a tough place to play even in September and the Raiders always battle at Mile High, so the Broncos ’shaky’ start is not as shaky as it appears. The Jaguars meanwhile seem to be going the wrong way, especially on offense. I believe the Broncos are bound to break out offensively at some point soon. They may need another week or two so I am keeping this at 3 stars.

Arizona Cardinals +9

The Cardinals are a nice play today getting 9 points in Baltimore. The Cardinals should be 2-0 but in typical Cardinal fashion, they are not. Baltimore blew their first game and were spared OT last week by the oppositions inability to CTFB. Arizona hasn’t been to the East Coast since opening day 2005. I would like to go bigger on this game, but the red bird on the white helmet evokes no confidence at this point.
