NFL O/U Week 5
October 9th 2010 - Special K            

Chicago Bears at Carolina Panthers (under 33.5 points)

Who is going to score in this football game besides Devin Hester returning a punt for a TD? That's right, there are no playmakers on either team. Jay Cutler is out with a concussion after being tossed around like a rag doll by the Giants. Steve Smith, the only good wideout the Panthers had is out. Plus the Panthers kicked Dwayne Jarrett, their 2nd WR, off the team after he got another DWI. The Panthers are already the league's worst team in scoring only averaging 11.5 points per game. Combine this with a Bears team who only averaged 17 points per game with Cutler starting equates to an easy UNDER cover.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Buffalo Bills (Over 41 points)

I'd consider the under in this game if it were late November or early December in Buffalo when the weather conditions are normally terrible but the weather in Buffalo will be sunny and 70 degrees on Sunday. I expect Maurice Jones Drew to break at least one long TD run against the leagues worst rush defense. The Bills have been giving up 174 yards per game on the ground. The Jaguars defense isn't much better, ranked 30th in total yards given up. I look for Fred Jackson to have a big game as well. This game easily goes over 41 points.
