Sunday: Tennessee at N.Y. Jets (1:00 p.m., CBS)
The
Jets are one of this year's early and pleasant surprises at 2-0 SU and
ATS under first-year head coach Rex Ryan and first-year QB Mark Sanchez
(91.3 passer rating). The Titans, on the other hand, are 0-2 (1-1 ATS)
after losing to Pittsburgh and Houston by a field goal. The spread for
this matchup is also Jets –3 (+105) with a low, low total of 37.
Without the gigantic and versatile Albert Haynesworth on the defensive
line, Tennessee's pass rush has taken a step back this year, while
Sanchez is getting excellent protection from left tackle D'Brickashaw
Ferguson.
Sunday: New Orleans at Buffalo (4:05 p.m., FOX)
The
Bills have been even more surprising than the Jets, nearly upsetting
the Patriots (-13) in the season opener and beating the Buccaneers (+4)
quite handily. QB Trent Edwards (104.9 passer rating) has responded
nicely to the simplified playbook of new offensive co-ordinator Alex
Van Pelt, although he has been sacked six times already. The Saints'
offense exploded in a pair of easy wins over the Lions (+14) and the
injured Eagles (+2.5). That gives us a massive total of 52 points for
Sunday's matchup with the Bills getting six points (-105) on their own
field. Buffalo is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 home games as an underdog.
Sunday: Indianapolis at Arizona (8:20 p.m., NBC)
Although
Peyton Manning (110.3 passer rating) has a pair of 300-yard passing
games and a pair of victories under his belt, the Colts (1-1 ATS) are
gaining very little on the ground and were fortunate to win both times.
The Cardinals (1-1 SU and ATS) rebounded from a poor opener to beat
Jacksonville (–3) in one of QB Kurt Warner's finest games ever:
24-for-26, 243 yards, two TDs. The Cards are also getting positive
results from first-round pick Beanie Wells (5.2 yards per carry).
They're 2.5-point home faves on Sunday night with a total of 48.
