John Morgan

Right now Alex Smith is the NFL MVP for 2017. The previously maligned quarterback is leading the league in completion percentage, yards per pass attempt and passer rating. The additions of Tyreek Hill in 2016 and rookie Kareem Hunt this year certainly hel

Interestingly, the Jets-Pats spread hasn't changed since the announcement that Gilmore is OUT. It's still NE -9/-9.5, same as it was mid-week.

Interestingly, the Jets-Pats spread hasn't changed since the announcement that Gilmore is OUT. It's still NE -9/-9.5, same as it was mid-week.

Considering Rowe is also out you would think that would cause some movement, but not the case here. I'm thinking that is due in large part to the opponent's passing game. People are figuring that Josh McCown to Jermaine Kearse and Robby Anderson are not going to suddenly get appreciably better. Probably a different situation had the opponent been Green Bay, Atlanta, etc.

On the other hand maybe it's a case of people thinking the Patriot pass defense can't get any worse, either.... 76% of the money as of now is on the Pats to cover the spread.


Lines that have moved:

Atlanta opened as a 9 point favorite vs Miami.
Now up to 13½.

New Orleans opened -3½, went up to as high as 5½.
Now back down to 4 or 4½ depending where you shop, versus Detroit.

Washington at one time was -9.
Now -11 versus San Francisco.

Bucs-Arizona has fluctuated between Ariz -1 to TB -2½.

Raiders had been as high a -5 vs Chargers, now -3

Denver began -10 vs NYG, now -12½.

A few offshore sites finally put Tenn-Indy on the board, with the Titans -8 (quickly down to -7½).



Most one-sided spread dollars:

Packers 78%, Vikings 22%
Patriots 76%, Jets 24%
Falcons 67%, Dolphins 33%
Broncos 66%, Giants 34%
Bucs 66%, Cardinals 34%
Chargers 64%, Raiders 36%

Packers putting up a good fight without rodgers. Embarrassing if the Vikings don't find a way to win that game.

Dolphins hanging with the falcons. Falcons need to score here.

 

[thecore762]

Aaron Rodgers most likely out for the season, broken collar bone.

Thank god our o-line is much better than theirs.

 

[jmt57]

Aaron Rodgers becomes the first major victim of 2017 NFL's horrendous offensive line play.

For those of you with Rodgers, David Johnson and Odell Beckham on your fantasy football team who thought you were on your way to a record setting championship season on Labor Day, condolences.

Looks like the falcons might be looking ahead. Having problems against jay cutler and the doofins.

 

[jmt57]

Bears 17, Ravens 10 -- start of 4th quarter
Would be 17-3 if not for Bobby Rainey kickoff return for a TD. Appeared to be down but was knocked down by a teammate and never touched by a Chicago player. Got up to score Baltimore's only TD. Ravens 3-2 record looking like what it was - propped up by easy opponents. Blowing great opportunity to take lead in AFC North.

 

[jmt57]

Falcons 17, Dolphins 17 -- 8:34 left to play.

After an Atlanta 3-and-out Miami goes 51 yards in five plays to draw within 3. Cutker with two touchdowns as Miami has scored on consecutive drives.

Falcons are forced to punt, and Dolphins get the ball back on a botched punt.

Miami settles for a FG but ties the score midway through 4th quarter.

 

[jmt57]

Texans 33, Browns 10 -- 11:00 to play in 4th

Cleveland finally scores a TD as Jason McCourty goes 56 yards on a pick-six.

Browns possessions:
Punt (8 plays, 24 yards)
FG (4 plays, 4 yards)
INT (TD for Houston)
INT
Punt (3 plays, 6 yards)
Punt (3 plays, 0 yards)
INT
Halftime (score 24-3)
Punt (3 plays, 3 yards)
Safety (3 plays, -3 yards)
Punt (5 plays, 18 yards)
Punt (5 plays, 21 yards)

 

[jmt57]

Saints 45, Lions 24 -- start of 4th quarter.

New Orleans with two defensive touchdowns (one fumble, one interception).

Turnovers: Lions 3, Saints 2

New Orleans: 172 yards rushing. Detroit's DT Haloti Ngata went on IR earlier this week.

Mark Ingram: 123 yards from scrimmage. 4 receptions, 27 yards; 18 carries, 96 yards, 5.3 ypc, 2 TD.
