NFL Week 1: 4-5 (-1.20x)
Not pleased with last week. Feel good that I got to watch most of the games already. Have a few more too watch will be making plays soon.
Good luck.
Philadelphia Eagles -3 (-120) (2x)
I get it, I really do, I know the Lions are the "sexy" sleeper pick and after being robbed of a win on Sunday in Chicago the Lions bandwagon is still full. But, let's remember, the Bears aren't good. So really what did we learn about the Lions that warrants such a low line against a team that has been good year after year? What did the Lions show us other then the capability to blow a late lead? Shaun Hill is getting the start, last week he was 9/19 for 88 yards and an interception. Sure, you guys can hoot and holler about how Jahvid Best got you some Fantasy points but he got two goal line scores. He ran for 20 yards and 14 carries for christ sake. His long was 8 yards, he had enough trouble getting back to the line. Ok, so point and say "But, this defense is good, did you see that goal line stand?". Well, yea I did, Suh looked good but they still were thrown on for 372 yards. Good luck with that defense trying to handle Vick running and passing. Don't be shocked to see the Eagles defense and special teams produce some points either. I don't think Hill will hold up too well against the Philly blitz scheme. It took the Eagles some time to get going against the Packers but they made a very good Packers offense look kind of tame most of the time and were able to move the ball in the 2nd half behind Vick. I really like this one.
