I figure I would get more involved this year with the betting game. There are 4 games that I have locked in for the week.
Atl/Saints Over 54: I know this is a high number, but these two teams will produce some fireworks. The Saints have a horrible D plain and simple. The injuries that they have suffered with Vilma and others will only make it worse. I just do not think they will be able to create any pressure on Matt Ryan and with those weapons, they will have a field day. As for the Saints offense, they are tough in that thunder dome. They have tons of weapons for Brees and I expect them to put up plenty of points against an average Atlanta defense at best. Side note, I believe overs will be a great play early this year as many teams across the NFL are running are more hurry up style offense, thus stretching out the game in terms of amounts of plays. It also helps that rule changes have basically handcuffed the defense in how they can play.
Houston -3 (-120)/SD: I know this is a very square play, but the Chargers are just an absolute mess. Rivers has zero weapons to throw too, the offensive line sucks, and they have a poor running attack. I just do not see how they will put up points this year on offense plain and simple. Houston just has way more talent here on both sides of the ball and I expect them to cruise to an easy win here. I did buy a half of point just for the simple fact that I was shocked at the line.
Tampa Bay -3 (-115)/Jets: This is another line that had me scratching my head. The Jets do have a have a good defense, but their offense is just a mess. Geno Smith is not ready to start in the NFL and this will show against a very good Tampa D. I am a huge Panther fan, so I play close attention to all of the NFC South teams. I am shocked at the lack of respect that Tampa is receiving. They already had a good run D and now with the additions of Goldson and Revis in that secondary, I expect them to be a dark horse if Freeman can play at a decent level. I would not be surprised if they win the NFC South this year, that is how much respect that I have for Tampa.
Colts -.5 Pats +.5 Packers/49ers Over 39 in a 3 team teaser: Plain and simple, I do not expect the colts and pats to lose this weekend. I liked the over in the Pack/49ers game at 48, but I decided to just throw the over in a teaser. I can not get the playoff game between the Pack and 49ers out of my head. The Pack had zero answers for the 49ers and I expect another good showing from the 49ers offense. I also expect Rodgers to do his thing on that side of the ball.
In sum, all plays are for a unit since it is week 1. I do not drop bombs like other people on here as I keep my plays between 1-2 units all season long. It's a long journey and I really just bet to make the games interesting. Best of luck to everybody on here.
