Brian Hoyer is still standing there http://www.dolphinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-michael-deiter-jersey , so the Patriots have a backup quarterback they can trust to a certain degree.But the next project had a good debut, with rookie Jarrett Stidham turning in a solid performance in the opener against the Lions.The fourth-round rookie was 14-of-24 for 179 yards and a touchdown, and but for a few dropped passes the numbers would have been better.“I had a great time,” Stidham said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. “ There are a lot of things to improve on Garrett Bradbury Jersey , but overall it was a lot of fun. It was a great experience.”While Hoyer would doubtless get the call if anything happened to the 42-year-old Brady, Stidham is an interesting commodity for the Patriots, who have developed and flipped young quarterbacks before.With Brady already old and effectively on a one-year contract, the future is a very real consideration for them this preseason. Last Week: 6-7Weeks 1 through 8: 54-58-4Home teams shown in bold. Odds taken from Odds Shark.Washington (-2) vs. AtlantaThis one should be close. The Falcons are coming off of a bye week, and the Redskins have won three straight since being blown out by the Saints on Monday Night Football.With an abundance of weapons to choose from, I think Matt Ryan continues to play at an MVP-type level here. The Falcons take it and keep their slim playoff hopes alive.<em>Pick: Atlanta (+2)</em>Chicago (-10) vs. BuffaloNathan Peterman is starting for the Buffalo Bills. Poor Nathan Peterman. Poor Bills.<em>Pick: Chicago (-10)</em>Minnesota (-5.5) vs. DetroitI know Minnesota got beat pretty solidly on Sunday Night http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-irv-smith-jr.-jersey , but they’re still a good football team. This game has all the ingredients of a bounce-back win for the Vikings.<em>Pick: Minnesota (-5.5)</em>Kansas City (-8.5) vs. ClevelandAt long last, the Hue Jackson era is finally over in Cleveland. Gregg Williams, he of the “11 head coaching offers” has assumed duties as lead man. This is a tough first game for him and the Browns.I’ll take Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs here.<em>Pick: Kansas City (-8.5)</em>Miami (-2.5) vs. New York JetsThe Dolphins are 3-1-1 ATS vs. the Jets since 2016, and I just think they’re the better team in this matchup. Plus, playing in Hard Rock Stadium doesn’t hurt, either.<em>Pick: Miami (-2.5)</em>Baltimore (-2.5) vs. PittsburghRavens’ defensive coordinator Don Martindale said this week that there are a lot of stats that show the Steelers are better with Le’Veon Bell. True or not Alexander Mattison Jersey , James Conner is playing really well in his absence. In a classic Steelers-Ravens game, the visitors manage to pull it out late.<em>Pick: Pittsburgh (+2.5)</em>Carolina (-6) vs. Tampa BayCam Newton and the Panthers offense should have a field day in this one, and FitzMagic won’t have the firepower to keep up.<em>Pick: Carolina (-6)</em>Denver (-1) vs. HoustonHouston is winners of five straight and coming off a mini-bye after defeating the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football. Deshaun Watson has a new toy in Demaryius Thomas, and I think he contributes right away. Texans win.<em>Pick: Houston (+1)</em>Seattle (-1) vs. Los Angeles ChargersBoth teams are coming into this game rolling, and this one should be one of the better games of the week. It’s a bit of a coin flip, but I like the Chargers here.<em>Pick: Los Angeles Chargers (+1)</em>Los Angeles Rams (-2) vs. New Orleans The Rams didn’t play very well against Green Bay last week and were still able to come away with a victory. They come out much more sharper here and stay undefeated.<em>Pick: Los Angeles Rams (-2)</em>New England (-5.5) vs. Green BayAaron Rodgers vs. Tom Brady. The winner of this is the undisputed GOAT. That’s how it works http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dru-samia-jersey , right??<em>Pick: Green Bay (+5.5)</em>Dallas (-5) vs. TennesseeDallas is a 3-0 at home and 0-4 on the road. They are a whole different squad at Jerry’s World.<em>Pick: Dallas (-5)</em>
