Same as NCAA, all plays rated either 4* or 3*, with a ML play here and there. Good luck this season.
BALT +7.5 (4*) Only way for me to go here. Call me sucker, I'll bite. Peyton with revenge for a PO loss against a young re-tooled D and 10 players gone from last yr's SuperBowl team. A lotta tired old bones. So now a young D with lots of speed and sure Manning baffles them a bit and puts up his points.
But Flacco's not gone. Ray Rice not gone. Harbaugh still calling shots. Jacoby Jones not gone. Brandon Stokley catching for Balt and not Manning tonight. Matt Prater still kicking. Ravens have won last 5 openers. And I can take 7 1/2 pts?
Bailey out, Miller out, Dumervil gone, Welker not 100%. A head Coach that's 1-5 ats as a Fav in home openers.
Visiting Super Bowl teams in Week 1 are 17-3 ats since 1990. Super Bowl winners Game 1 9-1-2 ats since 2001.
I'll take those odds, the better Coach, and too many pts.
GL all
