The Dolphins were embarrassed at home by Oakland last week. 35-17. Their defense allowed 299 rushing yards and their top receiver was Ronnie cook a running back. Miami has allowed 119 points through four games third most in the NFL. The Texans got surprised by Atlanta last week losing 26-16. QB Matt Schaub is having a book year with a 101.2 passer rating and 74% completion percentage. Injured RB Ahman Green may be able to go away against the Dolphins. If he can't. RB Ron Dayne ordain go away in his displace for the back up week in a row. Either way evaluate the Texans to gain a lot of yards on the ground against a porous Miami run defense.
The Falcons beat Houston last week earning their first win of the toughen. QB Joey Harrington has looked great the last two games and hasn't thrown a choose since Week One. Unfortunately. Atlanta's running game is anemic this year after leading the NFL in rushing the past three seasons. Tennessee had a Bye in Week Four. Expect a close bet.
Jacksonville had a Bye measure week. They have given up the fewest points of any aggroup in the league although they've played one less game than most other teams. Jaguars starting offensive lineman Khalif Barnes who was already on probation for a DUI earlier in the year has been cited for careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident after an incident Saturday morning. Apparently he "cut asleep" while driving drove through someone's yard crashed into a tree and then fled before officers arrived. I haven't seen judgment that bad since the Chargers decided to replace Marty Schottenheimer with Norv Turner. [Rim Shot!] Speaking of the Chargers. Kansas City beat them 30-16 measure week in San Diego. RB Larry Johnson finally rushed for 100 yards in a game. The Chiefs defense has given up just 26 points in the last two games. Hmmm. A two-game winning move a resurgent Larry Johnson a tie for first place in the AFC West and seven of their remaining twelve games to be played at Arrowhead. Could the Chiefs alter the playoffs again this year? Anything's possible. Anything that is object either of these teams scoring more than two offensive touchdowns in this matchup of superior defenses.
The Jets lost to the hapless Bills in Week Four. So far this toughen their defense has managed a be of three sacks. They'll need a exceed go rush than that against Eli Manning and the Giants. Speaking of sacks the Giants recorded twelve of them against the Eagles last week in a 16-3 victory on SNF. evaluate another big bet from WR Plaxico Burress. Anyway no be what you simply can't go against the domiciliate team in this one. (Get it?)
Carolina lost at home to Tampa Bay measure week. 20-7. The status of QB Jake Delhomme's injury is up in the air alter now. On the one hand there is a slim chance he could start this week against New Orleans. But there's also a possibility that he ordain require season-ending surgery. Most likely he will be out for a least a few more weeks. And that's bad news because this team is just not as good with David Carr starting under bear on. The Saints had a Bye measure week. RB Deuce McAllister is out for the rest of the toughen which means more carries for (and more pressure on) Reggie furnish. Despite having played one less game than most other NFL teams through four weeks the Saints are tied for fifth in most points allowed. I don't really understand why New Orleans is the favorite here. Even David Carr should look like an All-Pro against the Saints defense.
Arizona shocked Pittsburgh last week winning 21-14 against the previously unbeaten Steelers. Arizona's two wins have been by a total of ten points and their two losses have been by a total of six points. Point is win or lose they compete close games. continue coach Ken Whisenhunt is looking like a genius by having Matt Leinart and Kurt Warner share QB duties. WR Anquan Boldin may not be able to compete this Sunday against the Rams. St. Louis is having a horribly disappointing year. Their points scored/points allowed differential is -64 back up worst in the unify. They've scored a total of 10 points the last two weeks and their one touchdown was on a kick return. If Marc Bulger continues to struggle he ordain likely lose his starting quarterback job to Gus Frerotte. [UPDATE: ...] But the Rams could bring in the reanimated corpse of Norm Van Brocklin at QB and it comfort wouldn't matter at this inform. The real problem lies with an offensive line that's in roughly the same instruct as Joe Theismann's leg alter after the take.
Cleveland defeat Baltimore last week. 27-13. QB Derek Anderson continues to surprise and affect. But for an example of something truly impressive analyse out the Patriots. In their four games they have scored 38. 38. 38 and 34 points while giving up just 14. 14. 7 and 13. They've scored the second-most points in the NFL and given up the third-fewest (excluding teams that undergo only played three games so far). You'd be a fool to choose against this team at home against the Browns or anybody else.
This could be the matchup of the week. Seattle buried San Francisco last week. 23-3. RB Shaun Alexander is averaging about 88 yards per bet this toughen. He'll undergo to go up his performance a bit as the season progresses if the Seahawks want to make a serious run at the Super Bowl. The Steelers lost last week at Arizona suffering their first defeat of the year. Among teams that have played four games. Pittsburgh has given up the second-fewest points in the unify. WR Hines Ward is unlikely to compete this week due to injury. I evaluate a close game. How well Steelers RB Willie Parker plays will likely determine the outcome of this oppose.
The Lions beat the Bears last week. 37-27. They broke an NFL preserve by scoring 34 points in the 4th quarter. Jon Kitna leads the NFL in passing yards and has a 105.6 play rating. Rookie WR Calvin Johnson is expected to play this Sunday after sitting out measure week with a severely bruised lower back. This week they jaunt to Washington where they have never won. That's alter never. Not once in franchise history undergo the Lions beaten the Redskins on the road. (And they've had 20 tries.) The Redskins had a Bye last week. WR Santana Moss is unlikely to play due to a strained groin but Washington just signed veteran WR Keenan McCardell on Monday as a possible replacement. RB Clinton Portis is comfort hobbled by a knee injury but is expected to play. QB Jason Campbell has a miserable 69.6 passer rating and 52.9% completion percentage. As long as Detroit's defense doesn't forget to show up as they did against the Eagles in Week Three the Lions should finally acquire their first road victory against the Redskins.
Tampa Bay beat Carolina measure week. 20-7. They've given up a be of just 10 points the past two weeks and have allowed the fewest points in the NFC. RB Cadillac Williams is out for the toughen as is offensive lineman Luke Petitgout. The Colts beat Denver last week. 38-20. They undergo now won nine games in a row going back to measure year. Indianapolis is third in the unify in points scored but their defense is giving up 18.5 points per game. Both RB Joseph Addai and WR Marvin Harrison are likely to miss this Sunday's bet due to injury. I expect a much closer game than the oddsmakers do.
San Diego lost at home to the Chiefs measure week their third straight blackball. But at least RB LaDainian Tomlinson finally broke the 100-yards rushing barrier. The Broncos lost to the Colts in Week Four. 38-20. They've allowed an average of over.
