Week 3 Main Day Thoughts

• Dallas covered -22.5 in beating Miami 31-6 today -- that is the largest point-spread, according to Pro Football Reference, ever covered in the NFL's history (or at least that of the Las Vegas books).  The old record was Seattle covering -20 against Jacksonville six years ago to the day (45-17).
• New England would've also broken that record, except the Jets actually scoring a fumble recovery in the end zone and a pick-six to prevent New England from covering -21 (NE 31-14 NYJ).
• After an 8-1 home-team start up to the early games today, the late games went 1-4 for the home team, 1-4 (8-6 total) for the favorites straight up, and 0-5 (5-9 total) for the favorites against the number.
• Now having played three weeks of Sunday afternoon games, there have been six Cliffhangers -- ALL of which have come either in the late games or Monday night.
