Week 2
1*: 1/3 to 1/4 Unit
2*: 1 Unit
3*: 1.3-1.5 Units
4*: 1.5-1.66 Units
5*: 2+ Units (Games of Year)
4* New Orleans -3 1/2 over Tampa Bay
Tampa looked pitiful last week at Seattle. They managed only 90 yards on the ground and 194 yards in the air. This week they face a Saints team that is coming off an embarrassing loss and will be ready to play. The Bucs are banged up as their running back Cadillac Williams and QB Garcia are both hurt, but are expected to play. Defensively, Tampa also looked bad last week. They allowed 139 yards on the ground and 204 in the air versus a Seahawks team that is overrated (see 2007 futures). Tampa's 2006 stats were comparable to what they did last week (rushing offense 28th, rushing defense 17th, passing offense 26th, passing defense 19th) so I foresee them being just as bad this year.
New Orleans is coming off a 41-10 shellacking by way of the Colts. With a week and a half to prepare and think about their loss they will be ready for the Bucs. The Saints had a bad game on both sides of the ball. Offensively, they only had 106 yards on the ground and Brees only had 192 yards in the air (compared to last season where he led the league in passing yards). Defensively, they gave up 164 yards on the ground and 288 yards in the air against Manning. In 2006 they were 3rd in the league against the pass. With 21 off 22 starters returning this year the Saints will be atop the NFC and will easily win this contest. There are 3 trends favoring the Saints including one that is 75% (50-17 against the spread). The Saints in a 4* play!
1* Arizona +3 over Seattle
Seattle handled the sub-par Bucs easily last week, but will have a more difficult time this week against an improved Arizona team. Seattle did above average offensively gaining 139 yards on the ground and 204 in the air. They were average defensively allowing 90 yards rushing and 194 yards passing. But, they allowed 20-31 completions. I take these statistics with a grain of salt because of how poor Tampa Bay is. This week they will be facing the Cards on the road where they are 6-11-1 against the spread in their last 17.
Arizona is coming off a close loss to San Francisco and will be ready to face another division foe this week. Arizona's rushing game was solid against the Niners last week where they rushed for 161 yards (much improved from last year where they were 30th in rushing). Leinart did not look good last weak throwing for only 102 yards with 2 interceptions but they faced a tough San Francisco secondary. He will bounce back big this week against the sub-par Seahawks D. Defensively, the Cards looked very strong, allowing only 92 yards on the ground and 102 yards in the air. As mentioned above the Hawks are overrated and before the odds makers figure this out, let's make some money!
