    NFL Week 1
    Hey guys... Been off for a while, but I'm fired up for a great NFL season! Was just looking over some week 1 lines and had a few thoughts...

    Houston -2.5
    Have been very impressed with the play of Schaub in the pre-season... Houston defense has another year of experience and they should be a lot better this year... Chiefs just flat out suck this year, no talent and I don't think they will be competitive...

    Cowboys -4.5
    Dallas should be jacked up for this one... Sunday Night game, opening week of the season @ home vs. the dreaded Giants... I have seen a little bit of the Boys in the pre-season and Romo looks like he is gaining confidence with every game! Cowboys D will be fired up and we all know how well ELI plays in loud atmospheres! Think Dallas wins this one easily...

    Other leans...
    San Diego -5.5
    Jacksonville -6.5
    49ers -3
    Rams +1

    Would love to hear feedback on those games and any others you might have a strong lean on! Let's get off to a strong start this season!

      Good luck P2M, the Chiefs are just god awful, so I'd lean toward Houston myself.

        I'm leaning towards:

        Buffalo +3.5
        Oakland -1
        Cleveland +4
        Jets +6

          Austin, what makes you think that the G-Men will pose a threat to the Boys in this one bud? They very well might, I just think that Dallas will come out strong and try to get everyone's thoughts of the botched hold last year in the playoffs off their minds! This is a classic example of 2 teams that are going in completely opposite directions for this season! I think Dallas will challenge Philly for the NFC East crown and win around 10 or 11 games... The Giants will be lucky, LUCKY, to win 7 games this year, IMO!

          Just a few reasons why the Giants will suck this season...
          1. Eli Manning is still their QB
          2. Barber is out @ RB
          3. Petitgout is gone from their OL
          4. Shockey is a huge baby, Amani Toomer is older than dirt, Plexiglass is good, but is a cry baby as well.


          I just don't see the Giants winning more than 6 or 7 games this season...

          Anyone else like Dallas in this one or am I out in right field? I just think this is a mismatch. Thoughts???

            Good luck P2M, but I will be taking at least the first week of the NFL off.

              Hey guys, have been looking @ a couple other games over the last week or so...

              I'm liking the Steelers -4 @ Cleveland... The Browns QB situation is a disaster and I don't think the Browns will slow down the Willie Parker show... If WORTHLESSburger can run the O and not throw picks, I think the Steelers cruise in this one... Anyone else?

              Also, I like the Vikings -3 @ home vs. Atlanta... The Vikings D should be tough on Harrington and company in this one with the loud dome! I think the combo of Taylor and Peterson can run the ball effectively enough that Jackson won't have to throw it a whole lot... At even money or better, I think I will lay the 3 in this one...

                With you on Houston and Steelers. Against you on that STL game, I really think Carolina rebounds this year and starts it off with a win. Leaning 49ers.

                  Life After Tiki.....
                  I think Eli will know how important it is to have a quality RB by his side and he'll be without one in Week 1. Then the soap opera starts.
                  Is there such a thing of mismatches in Week 1? A division Game to start it off...
                  for all those reasons u stated, they should be more than -4.5 , wouldnt u think?
                  We still have 6 more days until Game Time. I dont count Thursdays, it's only 1 game. I'll be FIRED up at 12:59PM when all my picks will be made and our Beer Pitchers get to the table
