NFL Review

While eight N.F.L. teams are (2-0), only three won and covered the point spread (usually a good barometer of a team’s strength, certainly not always the case) in both games.

One of those teams, the Denver Broncos loom large as a Super Bowl threat. Thus far, Denver eased to victories vs the last two Supe winners, the Baltimore Ravens in week one, and the “Ultimate Value Team,” New York Giants in the second game.

The Miami Dolphins, under second year coach Joe Philbin, have two road victories, winning as approximately a field goal underdog in each, first at Cleveland (Browns) and then at the home of the Indianapolis Colts.

Three other teams from each conference are off to (2-0) starts. The Kansas City Chiefs, who covered one of two are joined by the New England Patriots and Houston Texans who have not only not covered but really struggled.

In the NFC, the New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks are (2-0). Seattle has covered in both victories including an impressive home victory vs the San Francisco 49ers in the week two, Sunday night tilt.
