A few games already sticking out to me for next week, so I had to get in early...
Kansas City Chiefs (+1.5, -105) at Houston Texans
The Chiefs had a great, unimaginable comeback this week to beat a bitter division rival and I think they continue the momentum next weekend in a building that they've played very well in over the last year or two. The Chiefs' defense certainly didn't look up to task against Rivers today, but Osweiler isn't in the same galaxy at PR. KC's D will look much better next weekend and its offense has too many weapons, as demonstrated today, for Houston to keep up.
New York Giants (-4, -115) vs. New Orleans Saints
Another team coming off a big time win against a division rival in the Giants. I'm always prone to bet against the Saints on the road; they are a completely different team outside of that dome. The Giants will come in with a lot of momentum, while the Saints just got beaten at home with a missed FG as time expired. Eli & Co. handle business at home.
Atlanta Falcons at Oakland Raiders OVER 47 (-110)
Both teams proved today that they can certainly move the ball, but aren't necessarily equipped to prevent an opponent from doing the same. This looks to me like one of those "whichever team has it last" type of games.

Miami Dolphins (+6.5, -110) at New England Patriots
I'm looking for a bit of a let down from the Patriots after an emotional road win with Brady & Gronk on the sidelines. Miami played the Seahawks tough in Seattle and their defense looks to be solid. If the Patriots get going and this turns into a shoot out, the Dolphins (although they have the talent, IMHO) won't be able to keep up. However, I believe this will be a tight divisional match-up, with a division opponent aware that this may be their ONLY chance at beating the Patriots this season.
San Francisco 49ers at Carolina Panthers UNDER 45.5 (-110)
The 49ers were made to look much better than they are against a useless Rams team on MNF. However, I do think there is some talent on defense, and I think the 49ers will be able to control the clock a bit with Carlos Hyde. The Panthers, on the other hand, were lucky to not have their MVP QB killed on opening night last week. I look for them to protect him here a bit and if he's not running, and the threat isn't there, it will be harder to succeed through the air. Carolina clearly has a great defense and the 49ers are starting Blaine Gabbert, so that tells you all you need to know about the 49ers chances on offense. I'm envisioning this game to be a 27-10 type contest.

looks like the KC line getting bet up; might see if it slips to +3 then pounce, but like the other plays right out the gate.
BOL.
I definitely missed out on some value there. I'm seeing 2.5 right now; I envy you at three, if it gets there! The good news is the other two I played early have changed (NYG from -4 to -5) and the ATL/OAK total has moved from 47 to 49.5. GL!

For what it's worth, I put a few season-long bets in on the Steelers and Packers to inevitably meet in the Super Bowl this year. Bets were put in the day of the opening Thursday night game. For those that may be interested:
AFC North to represent AFC in SB (+530)
Steelers to win AFC (+440)
Steelers to win SB (+921)
NFC North to represent N FC in SB (+495)
Packers to win NFC (+425)
Packers to win SB (+843)
I also have three open season win totals:
Pittsburgh Steelers OVER 10.5 (+121)
San Diego Chargers UNDER 7 (+163)
Tennessee Titans UNDER 5.5 (+145)
I understand all of these are much easier to post after each of three having gone "my way" after Week 1, so I'm posting these for entertainment purposes only. girl and moan and complain about the timing all you want! :)

What about Miami in a tough/ugly game loss and now have to fly back to Miami and then up to Boston? Pats would take advantage of a flat start. Plus BB being pissed that he loss to the dols which cost them the 1 placed seed in the playoff.
