Hard to find much value here, as most games look fairly one sided affairs.
It is hard to fault Dallas at the moment (much to my chagrin) who score points for fun. Playing in Wisconsin at Green Bay isnt the easiest of games for them, as the Pack are also unbeaten so far and this game may well be a playoff fixture in January, but it is hard to look past the Cowpats who should prevail in what will be another points fest and shootout
Another intriguing matchup is in Philadelphia, where the rough n ready Steelers come to town to face up to the dirty Birds. Pittsburgh have a very rough looking schedule but so far have negotiated it well to remain unbeaten, whilst Philly have put up two impressive offensive showings and lost nothing in losing a thriller in Dallas. This matchup could be any score, and alot will depend on how "Big" Ben Roethlisberger performs as QB for the Steelers - if he plays at all. He currently has a separated shoulder, but intends to play...this will be a red rag target to the Eagles although their pass rush will need to improve to get to him. But play or not, I expect the Steelers to not have it all their own way, and if McNabb and Westbrook can keep their early season form going, along with WR rookie sensation DeSean Jackson, the Eagles could nick this. However at 1/2 I dont see any value...way too short that even being at home.
Two banged up sides meet in Sky's second live game, where the Jaguars play the Colts in an already crucial AFC South Divisional game. The Jaguars really cant afford to slip to 0-3, but have been decimated by injuries and look a team in some trouble. Still, the Colts have not been anything like impressive so far this season, and have alot of injury concerns themselves. Only a late rally forced them home against the Vikings after being 15-0 down and they will need to pick up soon with the Titans looking strong in this division. As much as I really like a full fit Jags, I have to tip the Colts here to almost put the Jags out of the Divisional race even at this early stage.
