    How the fukk do you handicap week 1 in the NFL?

    to me it s more of a guessing game than any other week during the season. So many new players, coaches and systems in place. Forget using the pre-season as some kind of measuring stick as to how the teams will be in the regular season. Or should we?

    Are the Lions really better?
    Will the NFC West produce an above .500 team?
    Are the Rams really better?
    Will the Chargers suck early on again and then look unbeatable until the play-off come around?
    Will the Pats roll throughout the season only to lose again at home in the play-offs?
    Are the Ravens ready to take the next step or will the Steelers again ruin the party?
    Do the Browns have a chance in that division?
    Is Garrett what the Cowboys needed?
    Are the Eagles really gonna be that good?
    Are the Bears gonna win the NFC North again?
    What about the Giants? no one is really talking about them.
    Jets? They seem to win ugly but win they do.
    Will Miami surprise the Pats and the Jets? Upset the Pats Monday?

    So many questions will eventually be answered but what a bout week one betting? I am gonna go with some totals, 1H totals. Just as in last nights game in GB, I am gonna bet things to over in a few games.

    TOTAL o18-105 (1H PITTSBURGH vrs 1H BALTIMORE)
    TOTAL o20½-110 (1H DETROIT vrs 1H TAMPA BAY)
    TOTAL o18-105 (1H CINCINNATI vrs 1H CLEVELAND)
    TOTAL o20½-105 (1H ATLANTA vrs 1H CHICAGO)

    Any thoughts?

    Will Miami surprise the Pats and the Jets? Upset the Pats Monday? NO. Possible but unlikely.
    There you go.

    Obviously there are some games that you shouldn't touch but there are about 3 to 4 games that are clear as day to me.

    All of the above and tease them too. A good strategy is often to hedge across a lot of different types of bets.

    Do you have stats on 1st 1/2 totals?

    Going by last years stats on o/u's, NE 13-3 o, NYJ 12-4 o, Ind 10-5-1 o, Jak 12-4 o, Hou 11-5 o,
    Oak 10-6 o, Den 11-5 o, Phil 10-6 o, Dal 13-3 o, Det 10-5-1 o, Sea 11-4-1 o, & Ariz 10-6 o.

    These are game totals. Stats from Covers.

    From what I see there are very few unders.

    Just find one or two games that seem profitable. I would only touch established teams if you ask me. Once week 2 or 3 come you'll know then
