NFL Week 1

Just looking ahead a bit...

Liking the Saints -4.5 to lay an ass whoopin' on the Vikings to open the season.

Anybody seeing it the other way...?

Falcons -2.5 to hammer the QB'less Steelers.

Bengals +4.5
Texans +-2.5...Texans win this one outright. 

Dolphins -3.0

The only ones that jumped out at me right off the bat:

INDIANAPOLIS -2 @ HOUSTON (-2 seems low, maybe too low, but tough to go against the Colts)
DETROIT +6 @ CHICAGO (The Bears shouldn't be favoured by this much against anyone)
ARIZONA @ ST.LOUIS +4 (Books obviously have no faith in Anderson or Leinart, so neither should we)

p.s. The NFC Championship game was O/U 54, and now it's O/U 49? I know it's Week 1 and all, but seems like over is the logical play... or is it?

Good luck this year car!

hey hugh613...hadn't really looked at the Lions and Rams games...I'll check those out. Not as confident in the total at this point...but do like the side.

...Colts D has looked really suspect all preseason, even in week 3 where they played the starters for a half. I think we see a surprisingly dominant Houston Texans this year...good running game, awesome air attack...

a little time has past...changed some leans after some more reading/capping...

Still with -

Falcons -2.5
Texans +3.0

Vikings/Saints line now at 6...so went with an early bet on the Vikings +6.0

Bengals/Pats - the over is looking like a the best bet in this matchup, imo.

For the record...

Spread -

Falcons -1.5
Texans +2.5

Falcons -1.5
Ravens +2.5

Totals -

Vikings-Saints over 48.5
Colts-Texans over 46.5

On line -

Falcons -1.5 ...I'm a little surprised the line is creeping down. No respect for a healthy, bolstered Atlanta team.

...first week and all, I'll likely have a billion more Proline tickets in the mix. lol

gl

...my "early bet" on the Vikings +6.0 didn't pan out in a parlay.

nwo -4.5

And I like the GB/PHI over 47.5.

car, been a while since I have chimed in.

Like the Over tonight and the Saints .Starting a differnet thread with weekly CFL and NFL picks.

lol...P Manning throws for 433 yards, but they give up 231 to Foster in the ground. Gonna' be a long year for the Colts.

* on the ground lol

cheers

good luck
