NFL WEEK 2

Vikes/Dolphins OVER 39.5 3 stars

Percy Harvin (hip) listed as questionable. He laughed when asked about it and said he'd be playing Sunday. The Vikes offense and Farve need more practice time and they got it with an extra day after a Thur
sday game .Both Teams are banged up in the secondary so this game should get into the 40's...

Atlanta -6.5 over Arizona 1 star

The Cardinal Offense coudl use BEanie Wells this game and he will probably not play. HE's listed as
questionable and Coach Whisenthunt admitted that on the Dome turf it's unlikely he'll get much time if at all with that tender knee. The Cards had 7 fumbles last week and Hightower is a part of that problem. Derek Anderson played mostly as a backup in preseason and this team is still out of sync. The falcons will bounce back from a tough road game vs Pitt and play well.

Redskins +3 vs Texans 2 stars


Both the Skins and Texans had big wins last week. The Texans beat their nemesis , the Colts, for only the 2nd time in 17 tries. So a letdown is in order. However, you could argue the Skins are in for a letdown as well. The difference here could be Kyle Shanahan who ran the Texans offense for the past 2 years. He will know how to exploit the Texans defense and should have a few wrinkles to get the Skins offense on track. The Texans have not been a good road favorite under Kubiak in the past as well. So the home team getting a full FG is a solid play.
