The line on Patriots vs Cardinals..
See what Belichik does on bye weeks with 2 weeks to gameplan for a game. He's got the entire off season for this one. Can't wait to see how Gronk and Bennet are utilized. Garoppolo is tall, so is Gronk and Bennet, that's going to be extremely hard to defend their high target area.
Bruce Arians is the man as well. I see a back yard brawl type of game. I get the feeling that the Cards expend a lot of energy in this one that might wear them down later in the season.

Why do backup-QBs cover so often? Because the public only sees a replacement guy on the most important skill position. Oddsmakers adjust their lines by 3-5 points and the public still bites it up until sharps and highrollers get their line to finally bite. If a backup-QB starts, the coaching staff prepares their team differently. They try to make the life of the QB much easier and very often it turns out as an equally good gameplan as when they would have their starting QB available. Combine that with the value in the line and you got a very good pick on the underdog.
Garappolo doesn't have to be Tom Brady in that game. Bill Belichik and Josh McDaniels have the whole summer to get him prepared. The easy form: use field position and get some designed passes to TE-City. Don't necessarily see NE's offensive line as an issue here. Campbell and Nkemdiche might wreck havoc, but their lack of an edge rush could make up for it with Nate Solder being back. Also I got a strange feeling that Jonathan Cooper might breakout in New England. Garoppolo will release the ball as quickly as Tom Brady does.
In my opinion, the key matchup in this game is the NE defense vs. the Cardinals offense and especially the Cards' offensive line. The Pats have a very good front seven and a deep d-line. Mike Iupati and Evan Mathis are great run-blockers but not-so-good pass blockers. You can forget A.Q. Shipley and we don't know what to expect from DJ Humphries. As of now, there is only one proven pass blocker on the Card's OL and it's Jared Veldheer - and even he isn't elite. It's very tough to run on the Patriots - especially with Hightower on the field - and they just added Terrance Knighton. Knighton looked like he made a step back in the 3-4, but he was one of the best run defenders when playing in the 4-3 at Denver in 2014. I am expecting big things from him. We know Bruce Arians likes to attack opposing defenses but I don't see him having much success in that game against this NE defense.
Cards are already up to -6 at some books and I think the public gonna slam everything below 7 against a "backup QB". Might play it at +6 but there is a good chance I can get +7 by game week.

I don't know the number, but I would guess that backup QBs cover at a very good rate in their first game, because the team in general is undervalued in the line. Just out of my head, last season Luke McCown covered at CAR, Matt Schaub covered at CLE, Mike Vick covered vs. BAL if you got +3.5, Ryan Mallett covered and won SU vs. Pittsburgh as a 10.5 underdog. T.J. Yates covered vs. the Jets at home.

Firstly, Garoppolo is from Eastern Illinois University. Alma Mater of one Anthony Ramero Romo, who is now a Pro Bowl Quarterback, and led the NFL in QBR in 2014.
They don't have to beat the Cardinals, they just have to stay within 7. And especially on national TV, this is manageable.

Ya know Mysticrich I respect your factual desciption of the New England QB situation. But when you along with others who cant quite grasp the subtleties of the game thats where thebeast parts ways with you. Despite all the x's and o's fabricators which sadly your on board with I , thebeast shall set the record straight concerning the Patriots beating the sh-t out of the OVER-RATED Arizona Cardinals. What these pseudo football coaches over look is the obvious discrepancy between A. Head Coach B. Formidable running game. C. Tightend all in favor of the Patriots.

If Garoppolo isn't Brady maybe that's a plus , any competitive game Brady's good for two picks Garoppolo just being anoited the starting position is a mistake , you don't play at Eastern illinois vs teams like Towson in front of 150 people if you can play division 1 football ,The kids a good athletic and since this is the easiest team in the NFL to play QB on i don't doubt he can win games . and i would take him over watching another season of the biggest fraud in sports history who gets all this credit for basically sucking in any competitive game he plays in that means anything.

I don't what your talking about Beast or how you manage to quote suuma post and my post together , everybody on this site knows my stance on Brady it's well documented for the last 10 years .
I counted the Arizona game as a loss if Brady played , now i like the Patriots with anyone as QB , I'M always consistent in these forums Beast
By the way Beast what ever happened to the so called Season long Red Sox Expert you billed yourself as ?
Then you disappeared into cyber space after the 3rd week into the season

I have followed the Red Sox for a long time and have an excellent feel for them. Sadly I am consumed with handicapping the NFL this season so no enough time to devote to the beloved Red Sox. Oh well. Thanks for asking Mystic but its your lucky day now that I will be posting profitable wagers for the coming 2016 - 2017 NFL Season.

Patriots go 4 - 0 with or without Brady. 1st up chokin Arizona le by Carson Palmer. Hmm can I pose this question, will the real Carson Palmer stand up, a complete over rated HAS BEEN. Fearsome Houston Texans next up and guess what stikeout on 3 pitches. 2 games against the perennial loser AFC pseudo rivals. Consensus : Easy 4 - 0 to begin season for Patriots. What dont you understand? Phoney pretenders are phoney pretenders. Oh boy!!!!!!!

I was never a fan of Palmer but if you watched the last two years with him in Arizona he's been 2nd to only Rogers , he makes all the hard throws he stands in the pocket takes big hit delivers throws downfield with accuracy
Palmer's not a phony like Brady who never is required to throw a ball downfield and cowers to the ground at any hint of pressure
Palmer in the Carolina game was coming into that game with an injury to index finger of his throwing hand , it was visibly swollen
Beast you really should invest in a HD TV color TV and throw out that 12 inch Black and white you watched super bowl 1 on
And in the future leave all QB evaluations to others who have the Red Zone, NFL Network , ESPN or at least cable TV
Thanks buddy
