Houston Texans at New England Patriots Sky Sports 9.30pm
New England have too many weapons and are too strong against the run for the anaemic Texans to keep pace.
Pick: New England Patriots -9 @ 1.91
Pick: 1st TD Aaron Hernandez @ 13
Pick: Anytime TD Andre Johnson @ 2.65
Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons Sky Sports 6pm
Apart from a couple of nice priced TD scorers, yesterday was a car
wreck, and just in case I thought the football gods would give me a
break, I spent an hour writing up today's games, only for one of my
daughters to climb up and turn the computer off! She's done y'all a
favour though - I'm not writing that crap out again.
I like the Falcons here, with a couple of reservations; Marshawn
Lynch is the Seahawks' offensive lynch-pin (good huh?) and the Atlanta
front have had problems against the run, so they'll need to be on their
game. Russell Wilson runs well too and the 49ers showed how devastating
that can be; deeper Sidney Rice is a big unit, but prone to go missing
and the Seattle offense doesn't thrive through the air.
The loss of Clemons is a big blow to Seattle on other side of the
ball - Julio Jones, Roddy White and Tony G are all fit and I'd look for
Jacquizz Rodgers to have an expanded role rushing and catching. The
rested Falcons should be too good at home in the dome.
Pick: Atlanta Falcons -3 @ 2.05
Pick: 1st TD Julio Jones @ 9
Pick: Anytime TD Tony Gonzalez @ 2.1
