    Line overreactions from Week 1

    Packers were -7.5 vs Bears, opened -4.5 which moved to 5.5

    Bears looked great against a bunch of scrubs, while Packers looked like crap against a better physical team.
    Now you get a bargain on the Packers.

    Seahawks were -1.5 vs Dallas, opened +4, which is now +3

    Seahawks looked below average on the road as expected, well except for Bill Simmons who has them winning 12 games, Dallas beat the champs. So a 4+ point swing on perception.
    The average person cannot pass up Dallas here just like they could not pass up fading Arizona.

    Niners were -3.5 vs Detroit, opened -7, down to -6/-6.5

    Lions looked like against the Rams. Niners looking like Champs in Lambeau.
    Letdown game written all over it. If you like the Lions, you are getting 3 extra points.

    Washington vs St. Louis was a pk'em, opened -3 Wash.
    Redskins blew their loads against the Saints, Rams looked somewhat competent.
    Average person already thinks the -3 is LOW yet its inflated by 3 points to begin with.
    RG3 can only go down from Week 1.


    We'll monitor a few more as the week goes on.

    Packers scream square play -5', but will likely hit. 0-2 start would be tough to accept by that squad.

    Detroit is a steal right now. SF can shut down the run, but if they're defending 45+ pass plays, you can have success. I like Detroit's d vs SF and this should be a very even game. Getting points is a players best bet here.

    Dallas and Skins probably are rightly valued. Don't let early #s fool you, just as likely misjudged prior to week 1 as mispriced following (or a little of both).

    Too early for official plays but I do like the Packers to win.

    Was interested how much the lines would overreact to these games.
    The crazy one was Bills opening -7 vs Chiefs....

    Anybody would be crazy to bet against the 49ers. They should dominate the game based on coaching alone.

    k13 sharp as usual.

    I totally agree on Dallas. No way you can take them at -3. If I could've gotten -1 or -1.5 I would've taken it.

    But I didn't. I think they win, but no way I'd take -3 at Safeco. Difficult place to play.

    you are forgetting, detroit had the game virtually won last year and somehow sf pulled it off. also, you know what happened during the handshake. schwarts looks like the type that will hold a grudge...

    Well Opie, from a fan perspective you want Dallas to close -3 to -4 and not below.
    Seattle is not a good team but they win a lot of these types of games at home. Niners barely beat those schmucks last year.

    If the game is in Dallas, line is -9/-10 and Seahawks get spanked again.

    I don't blame someone for taking either side just know -3 is not a low line because there will be numerous threads all week ask why is dallas/washington "only" -3.

    I'm all over Dallas/Seattle O42 & Houston/Jacksonville o 41.5.. RG3 will take care of STL. That's not a week one performance thing, if you watch actual footage of the games you will see STL's horrible D against Detroit. RG3 will pick it apart.

    steelers/jets game

    "jets are good, they just put up 48 points and smashed buffalo"
    "steelers are old, they could not stop broncos from marching down the field"

    sanchez will not get 5 seconds to look around for recievers. when he is forced to act quickly he is far less accurate.
    steelers will regroup under great coaching and dominate at home. just my opinion, and have awful nfl record so far. steelers -6

    THANK YOU! Everyone is saying 'RG3 had beginners luck, a win vs. the Rams won't be as easy' Are you ******* kidding me? Other than pass rushing.. that is all the Rams have.

    Backing a good team coming off a loss tends to lead to positive results.

    I disagree with that.

    I would place it at Skins -3 if Rex Grossman was the QB.
    The -3 presumes the Skins are 6 points better than the Rams. St. Louis is at home.

    9ers fan giddy about his win after Rodgers throws pass after pass after pass directly into 9ers players' hands.

    Then he trashes the Bears, who flat out dominated.

    Just a scope of the ignorance at SBR.

    I'll be at the Packers/Bears game...would like to lay some money on GB but damn did the Bears offense good & GB defense look bad week 1. Not sure if I'll have any real $$ on a side..maybe do something with a total or look at props. I'm expecting a high scoring game...Packers should score more than 22 on the Bears. SF defense was just stellar on Sunday.

    The Bears are a better football team than the 49ers. But the Packers played their worst game possible and it is unlikely they do that against the Bears. So we'll see what happens. I'll be there too.
