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!

Don't really agree with your Dallas pick, but GL

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
