Team Defense

San Diego Chargers: The Bolts’ D takes on the Jags in San Diego in an ultra-favorable matchup.  While San Diego has yet to grab an interception, they’ve played well against the Bills and Seahawks the last two weeks.  Jacksonville has allowed the most points to opposing D/ST in the NFL, so expect the Chargers to have a strong week taking on Blake Bortles in his first NFL start.

Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons also face a QB making his first NFL start as they travel to Minnesota to take on Teddy Bridgewater and the Vikings.  When last seen, Atlanta’s defense was crushing the Bucs on Thursday Night Football and they make a good pick to replicate that effort against the Vikings.

Detroit Lions:  The Lions defense has some deficiencies in the secondary, but they’ve been excellent against the run.  Their strengths make them a good matchup this Sunday as they take on the Jets who are a run-heavy team.  Jets QB, Geno Smith is also turnover prone and coming in on a short week making Detroit a nice value option on defense as well.

Last week: Indianapolis Colts, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins,

Home/Carolina Panthers
