IT was consecutive winning Sundays in the NFL with the Raiders/Ravens double and the Total Sacks winning in Atlanta only to be failed by Lynch who found pay dirt but couldn’t get his yardage.

Tonight's Monday night match-up is a tough one. Odell Beckham is a game-time decision and leaving it this late usually means he won’t be risked.

The Giants offence was stagnant in their week 1 loss against the Cowboys and could struggle again against the Lions. The Cardinals were favoured on the road in week 1 which Matt Stafford had a grudge against throwing for four TD’s against the No Fly Zone.

While the G-Men have a good secondary they struggle against the big men across the middle. Last season they gave up the fifth most catches and fourth most TDs to tight ends.

Jason Witten, who isn’t as athletic as he used to be, caught 7 passes for 59 yards last week. Ebron is a catch first tight end and could draw the quick targets across the middle as will Tate who will line up everywhere.

Two minds over Stafford’s pass yards or Ebron’s line but the pass rush of the Giants should feed into Detroits game-plan.

Lions v Giants (1.30am)

    Read something the other day saying the Giants might suit Beckham up as a decoy to get other receivers open. Hopefully that’ll be the case tonight as I’ll be taking their young TE that went for 4/5 for 44 yards last game against the Cowboys.

    Evan Engram o34.5 @Paddy

    Will be on Ebron and Stafford too, good luck Jordan. ?

    Engram ends with 49.
    Pretty frustrating night with Detroit running the ball and time wasting.

    Very little to say about Sunday’s main double. The New England Patriots have never lost at home against a rookie QB. That’s 8-0. While he shows flashes of brilliance, I will still take it lightly how he could only beat a Bengals defense with his legs, and will face a much different side the Pats. They have a few concerns on the offensive front, with Hightower the one to watch on defense, but Belichick will have a good game-plan regardless.

    Last week I mistakenly thought the Bengals shutout at home in week 1 was a fluke, but little did I know they’d be firing their offensive coach in week 3 without a TD scored. That doesn’t bode well against with problems on their offensive line to boot. I doubt the Packers will hold them from scoring, but Dalton vs Rodgers in Lambeau? No contest. The Packers had concerns after their loss in Atlanta, but Nelson has been good in practice, with Cobb being day-to-day.

    New England Patriots -6.5
    Green Bay Packers -2.5

    7/10 @ 365 – 10 points

    Thursday night football sees an NFC West contest between the Rams and 49ers in the Cali Bowl. While this game is tough, I think the Rams have a lot more going for them right now. The pressure has been taken off of Gurley with the addition of a franchise QB in Goff, and finally ditched Jeff Fischer for a younger, man managing Sean McVay. Cooper Kupp was highly touted after his combine performance and has shown a chemistry with Goff early on. It’s a small line for a side essentially on home turf, with higher aspirations, more talent, and no injuries,which the Niners have real problems in their secondary.

    LA Rams -2.5 @ 19/20 @ Bwin – 4 points
