CHI/CAR - I really do not like this matchup gambling wise. Both teams upset their oppopents on the Road last week, one getting 9, the other 10. So this -3 line is pretty much out there for you, the bettor to decide on. No play for me here.
GB/DET - Taking Det here... GB off a big win on National TV against the trendy playoff pick of the year the Vikings, Rodgers looked great...yada,yada,yada.  Playing on the road is a different animal, and well see how he handles that. Not in love with throwing down money this early in the year on bad teams so i will only drop a unit on this one.

BUF/JAX - Another game im not too crazy about. Aside from ST's, Buf really didnt show me much. But if i had a gun to my head id take the pts.

NYG/STL - Not big on RF's, especially ones over 6.And the rams fit the bill of not playing a bad team too early in the season. iLL let the Rams show me something first before i drop down anything on em...

TEN/CIN - Its safe to say i wont have my Directv tuner on this game. I do have a lean on the under though.

OAK/KC -  I think Oak is a value play at +3.5<. But we all saw how capable they are of even screwing up a blowjob. As of now, nothing on Oak for me yet, but i may drop a unit on em by gametime. Stay posted.

NO/WASH - I see the opens on this one ranging from Wash -1 to NO -1. Currently my book has Wash at -1. For the most part evey1 is on the Saints. The books are not adjusting for this either, and these r games i love to play. Wash has had 9 full days of practice for this one. I expect an ugly win, but a WIN nonetheless.
2 units on WASH

IND/MIN - Here we have indy backers chasing their team which basically just has to win for them to cash.  Better than 2/3 bets placed are on the Colts. And the books are putting themselves out there with this one. I will take the Vikings to the HOUSE. My biggest play of the Day. Look for AP to run wild and their stoud D to give Indy's wideouts problems all day

LOL anybody that can find value in geting 3.5 with oakland boy your way out there ..........like on an island
 
why play the lions also  they lost 8 of last 9 vs packers ........lions manage to let a running back run ... 3rd most yds in NFL history last week ..i think the    packers have a better running game than the falcons

I'm going to put a gun to your head and demand that you not bet the Lions.

thanks Whizz....about to write-up my leans.  give 'em a look and let me know what you think.  As you know I am more a "situational" player who looks for spots to play certain teams.  Definitel agreed on not a fan of asking bad teams to win you money, but this philosophy requires that you do just that.
 
Good luck today.

Good write up Whizz! Completely agree 1000% on Washington.. My biggest POD.. Staying away from the Indy game.. Solid lean on the under in Buffalo game.. They will not be able to move the ball on the road and JAX has lost 3 OL - should be defensive battle.
 
WASHINGTON BIG

I like the picks. Week2 was an absolute bloodbath last year and it's shaping up to be another this year. All the money is on the chalk. Think your right going against the grain this week. Good luck.

Whizz-  Gonna be on Panthers here.  Agree on Bears D being quality, but Panthers playing better and are a better team in almost every area.
 
Definitely with ya on Detroit here.  Love the spot and love the fact that 65%+ of money going to GB here, public all over GB and not giving Lions one look.  Although I must tell you BetUS has Detroit +4 pts now.
 
Also getting +3 w/Minny, all over that one too.  70%+ of money going to Indy, again just simple public infatuation:  "minny didn't look good Monday nigth"......and......"even though Indy didn't look good they have Manning".
 
This kind of thinking is exactly how Vegas was built!!

People are expecting a big improvement from the Lions from last week to this week.  I say they're still shell-shocked from getting run over in a game they probably thought for months that they were going to win.  If you're betting on the Lions, you have to be expecting (or hoping for ) a letdown from Green Bay, but why?  They didn't play that great a game against the Vikings.  They played a mistake-filled game and got away with it because Tarvaris Jackson was leading the other team.  Lots of room for improvement from the Pack and they know it.

point taken.  I still see value in +3 at home, but like i said a 1-unit play for. Nothing to write home about
