NFL Week One Plays

College YTD (6-1 +7.90 units)
NFL YTD (0-0 +0.00 units)

Well, I had a good first week in the college game and I am hoping to carry that over to the pro's this week.

First locked in play:

Houston -8 -110 (2 units)
Eventually Houston is going to get things figured out on both sides of the ball.  While I am not a huge fan of Kubiak, I am a fan of Wade Phillips as a defensive coordinator and feel like they have the talent to finally make a push at winning this division this year.  Add-in the fact that Manning is doubtful for week one and the fact that the game is in Houston, and to me this looks like a blow out in the making.  I just don't think Collins will be able to effectively move the ball.  I will go ahead and say 34-17 Houston.

Adding:

Baltimore -2.5 -110 (1 unit)
This should be a great opening week game between two conference rivals.  With that said, my main reason for playing this game is that Super Bowl losers typically struggle in week one and I am going to go ahead and continue going with that trend in this one.

doliver  I expect the Texans to roll

serious

Lar  I agree completely

Orange

winning  Yeah, I really like the Ravens

Agree on Balty, but put the Colts +9 and the U43 in a parlay since I dont think either team gets more than 24 if (big if), Indy covers.....

bol this season

Adding:

Green Bay/New Orleans o47 -117 (1 unit)
This game is the highest total on the board and in my opinion, for good reason.  First off, New Orleans is going without their best pass rusher, Will Smith.  Add-in the fact that the Saint defense hasn't looked great during the preseason and I expect Aaron Rodgers to have a big game.  Meanwhile, Drew Brees won't have quite the success of Rodgers, but he should still be able to put some points up.  I expect both teams to get into the 20's with the winner likely in the low 30's.  I am expecting a 30-24 type game.

Summary thus far:

Green Bay/New Orleans o47 -117 (1 unit)
Houston -8 -110 (2 units)
Baltimore -2.5 -110 (1 unit)

Is Arian 100%?  Is his hammy healed? The Colts are definately gonna try and play keep away with short passes and lots of running....question is can the Indy secondary contain the Hou wrs??

I am actually not real concerned about Arian.  Of course I would love for him to play as he is a dynamic back.  But, I suspect Tate could come in for one game and play relatively well.

Houston -8 -110 (2 units)

Adding a Monday nighter:

NE/Mia u45.5 -110 (2 units)
I really think Miami is going to chew up the clock with their running game to keep this one close.  I feel like it is there best shot to win and as a result, I think they will eat up a lot of time resulting in less plays and less possessions.  New England has a good offense, but given the circumstances, I just think this is too many points.

Green Bay/New Orleans o47 -117 (1 unit)
Houston -8 -110 (2 units)
Baltimore -2.5 -110 (1 unit)
NE/Mia u45.5 -110 (2 units)

I could see NE winning that game by 21, but make sure u check the forecast because it is supposed to storm.
