NFL Week 1 - Chicago +7??

Where are you getting 6.5? I see mostly 5.5. It opened at 6.5, dropped all the way to 4.5, and is now at 5.5

If Grossman gets hurt i like the bears at +5.5

i really think SD takes this one

Can't back Norv laying 5.5, can't back Rex only getting 5.5.

Pass.

fade the loser of the SB...very profitable angle

This should be the biggest blowout of the opening weekend. SD, Houston, and St. Louis are the only games I'm certain I'll be playing.

I believe Razz is on the money here

Like it at +6.5, but LOVE it at +7 so I am holding out.

Spend the extra .10 a buy the extra .5 point

i'm not aware of any reputable book that charges .10 to go from 6.5 to 7.

which is of course completely irrelevant here, since the line is 5.5 or even 5 a couple places. nowhere is it 6.5.

I like SD here, but like you guys say, it is not much of a bet, betting on Grossman or N. Turner, there should be a danger sign on this one.LOL

I agree. SD defense will give up a ton of points this year. New look CHI offense should give them fits (and a pick 6). I will be taking a position on the over, and if you are going to give me a TD, I will roll the dice on Grossman and count on the CHI special teams or defense to get back whatever the offense gives up. Just IMHO of course :-)
