Jaguars, I really like this play with the Jags here they have played extremely well on the road coming close to beating the Packers, beating the Colts and losing by a field goal to both the Vikings and Raiders. The Texans are in an interesting spot facing the Lions on Thanksgiving up next on a short week and they just came off a hard fought win against the Bears. It's hard to say they won't be looking ahead or have a let down. Jax should be in this game for the most part as the Texans will be going through the motions.
Panthers, I've been on and off with this team and mostly have been right. The Panthers play a division game with revenge today against the Bucs, winners of three straight. The Bucs are getting votes of confidence from just about everyone around the NFL, but why are they just a 1 point favorite against the 2-7 Panthers? Tampa has the Falcons up next and if you have watched any of their games you know their defense is just not very good.
Carolina made another statement firing their special teams coordinator and I think the team will respond again just the same way they responded after the firing of the GM a few weeks back when they went on the road and nearly beat the Bears. Carolina held the Bucs to 258 yards the first time the two met and the Bucs are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 visits to Carolina, 16-33-1 ATS in their last 50 games on grass. The teaser is a good way to hedge things as these games fall on key numbers that are easy to tease.
