The Ravens ‘D go from taking on Peyton Manning in Denver to Brandon Weeden at home. The Browns were beaten by Miami at home by almost two touchdowns and now face the defending Super Bowl champs, desperate to avoid a 0-2 start to the season, on the road. If you use the standard assumption that home field advantage is worth three points, this line would be 3.5 at a neutral venue and 0.5 in Cleveland. Really??? The Browns would be nearly a pick ‘em if they hosted this game? I’ll have the favourite thanks.

NEW ORLEANS @ TAMPA BAY:  1 UNIT ON NEW ORLEANS -3.0 AT $1.86 (BET365)

I loved the way that the Saints clawed back from an early 10-0 deficit to the Falcons in the opening week. I hated everything about the Bucs-Jets match. The Saints are at Tampa and then host Arizona and Miami – I can see them going into full-fledged Eff You Mode and racing out to a 4-0 start to the season before they travel to Chicago in week 5 and New England in week 6.
