One question - that GB line seems WAY off.  Top 5 QB away at 1st year starter QB/RB/C with probably 2 rookie starters on D.  Should be -3 or more IMO.  What's your reasoning?

I don't think it seems way off to tell you the truth.  I really think the Eagles will struggle early on this season.  I think putting Kolb in there is going to be a grind for several weeks.  I'm confident that Kolb will become a better QB and I think the Eagles might become a good team to bet down the line.  By no means will this be a huge bet for me.  I've already decided that.  Unless I find something else that entices me that way.  As of now it would be a small play and I think on the price of GB -1 its too tempting to turn down.  I think if Green Bay protects Rogers they win the game no doubt.  Now if the Eagles can disrupt Rogers and throw of the timing I could see them winning this game.  The Eagles defense hasn't been the same since the passing of Jim Johnson and I don't see them getting any better.  I really think they struggle to shut down the Packers offense.  Good luck with your Eagles.  Should be a good team to bet later on this season.

Really?    @DET, @JAX?  I hope that's not the case but who knows.  I just gotta believe that -1 line is way low and that always makes me nervous.  I guess then I should be feeling good about it.

Thanks for the insight  .  GL this year

I bet the Packers on May 15th at +1, I also went with Cincy+6. I have had my eye on Carolina+7 but haven't pulled the trigger yet, as it is a revenge game for the Giants, but I still am leaning Carolina's way at this time. I think Tennessee has a good chance to roll the Raiders as Fisher should have them ready to not repeat the bad start last year. GL

I didn't mean the immediate early part of the season.  I meant overall like the first 8 games.  I wouldn't be counting both @ JAX and @ Detroit wins either.  They could very well lose one or both of those games.  Detroit is going to be much better and Jacksonville always seems to play at least half way decent.

Good lines you got there...What other games are you leaning on.  Carolina game is scaring me a bit.  I think the Titans are going to hammer the Raiders.

Good Luck on another profitable year. alot of great insight already, can't wait for week 1.

Too bad I don't have alot of faith in My Birds, and neither do you it seems with Kolb and Reid.

 To the luck of the Irish

Like the Bears/Lions over   I see you dropped the GB play. I have them myself but I'm a little worried because there is ALOT of love for them.  Like the KC and Titans play too

I love that defense as well.  They look very quick.  As long as they stay healthy @ key spots, particularly corner they will be better than last year.  They have a good nickel guy and they have tremendous depth on the defensive line.
