The New England Patriots looking for their first win of the season after starting 0-2. They also hit the road for the first time here on Sunday as they have to play at a very good defensive NY Jets. The Pats offense hasn't been very good either with just 37 points in two games, though the defense is decent and has allowed 49 points. The Jets are 1-1 and have fewer points then the Pats with just 32. Their defense has allowed 46. QB Mac Jones for the Pats has FOUR TD's and a pair of INT's this season. He threw for 316 yards in the opener vs Philly and 231 last week vs Miami. The Jets lost Aaron Rodgers 75 seconds into the season and now Zach Wilson is back at the helm. He threw three INT's last week in a 10-30 loss at Dallas. Wilson also has just 140 and 170 yards in two games. Both these teams are not very good offensively and much better defensively. I'll take UNDER today.

Denver had high hopes starting the season that QB Russell Wilson could turn things around. But so far that hasn't happened as the Broncos are 0-2. They have put up 49 points while allowing 52 points. The Broncos look good on opening drives when the plays are scripted, but after that things kind of fall apart. Miami is 2-0 and their offense has put up 30 ppg average after two games. The defense has allowed 51 points. Tua Tagovailoa has been good with Four TD's and just two INT's. He threw for 466 yards in the opener vs the Chargers and 249 yards last week vs a much better Patriots defense. Both these teams should be able to score on the other. I'll take OVER.

 The Seattle Seahawks host the Carolina Panthers here on Sunday. The Panthers making the long trip from the East coast to the Pacific Northwest. Seattle is 1-1, scored 50 total points and allowed 61 points for a -11 point differential. They return home after their upset win at Detroit last week as a 4.5-point dog, 37-31. This coming after blowing a first half lead in week 1 at home to the Rams and losing 13-30. QB Geno Smith has played well, with three TD's and no INT's. He threw for 328 yards on the road last week. Carolina is 0-2 S/U and 0-1-1 ATS after a pair of games. They opened with a loss at Atlanta, 10-24 and then lost last week to New Orleans, 17-20. They failed to cover week one and pushed week two. The Panthers offense has just 281 yards in game one and 239 last week at home. Don't see the Panthers offense being able to stay with this Seahawks team that has lots of weapons on offense. I'll lay the points with Seattle.

The Detroit Lions pulled the big upset in week one when they went into Kansas City and got the win, 21-20, as a 4-point dog. They fell off last week, losing at home as a 4.5-point favorite to the Seattle Seahawks, 31-37. They have outgained their opponents on the ground, 110-86. They also have more passing yards per game at 283-268.5. QB Jared Goff has four TD's and just one INT. Atlanta off to a 2-0 S/U and 1-1 ATS start. The Falcons play their first road game here today after winning at home over Carolina, 24-10 and then at home over Green Bay, 25-24. The Falcons have been great on the ground, with 170.5 yard average. They haven't had to put much pressure on rookie QB Desmond Ridder who has been effective. Ridder has 2 TD's and just 1 INT this season. The Detroit defense has only allowed an average of 86 yards on the ground so this should be an interesting matchup. I'll take the points with Atlanta.

--------------------------------------------------------

Tennessee Titans are 1-1 to start the season as three teams are all tied for the AFC South with a 1-1 record. The Titans averaged just 21 ppg thus far while allowing 20 ppg. The Titans opened the season with a loss at New Orleans, 15-16 and then won last wee at home over the Chargers, 27-24. They covered both games. They have rushed for 245 total yards and passed for another 381 total yards. Ryan Tannehill tossed three INT's in the opener but rebounded with None in their win over the Chargers to go with one TD. Derrick Henry is one of the best backs in the league, but he's yet to hit 100 yards. He rushed for 63 in the opener and then 80 yards last week. The Cleveland Browns had high hopes this season with Watson finally getting a full season at QB and arguably the best running back in Nick Chubb. Well, Chubb went down last week and will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. That will lead Jerome Ford to pickup the slack. Ford did rush for 106 yards after Chubb went down last week. Still, huge loss for this team. What made the injury even worse was losing the game to the Steelers, 22-26, even though they held Pittsburgh to just 255 yards of offense. I'm going to take Tennessee this week and see if Ford can really pick up the huge hole left by Chuff. Play Tennessee.

The 2-0 New Orleans Saints hit the road to take on the 1-1 Green Bay Packers. The Saints offense has scored just 36 points in two games but allowed just 32. The Saints opened with a home win over Tennessee in week one, 16-15 and then a road win in week 2, 20-17. They failed to cover vs the Titans and pushed last week. The defense has allowed just 282 totals yards per game thus far. New QB Derek Carr has thrown for 306 yards vs Tennessee with one TD and one INT. He then threw for 228 yards on the road last week with one INT and no TD's. Green Bay beat the Bears in week one, 38-20 and then lost last week at Atlanta 24.25. They have covered both games and both games have gone over the total. QB Jordan Love has been very good, throwing for 151 yards last week with three TD's and 245 yards in week one with three TD's. Love has Six total touchdowns and no interceptions. Saints will need more offense then they have showed to win here on Sunday. I'll take Love and the Packers in this one. But since the line is so short on Green Bay, I'll just take the Money Line with the Packers
