San Fran on the other hand is 11 -8 -1 since 2005, although in 2005 they went 4 - 0, so the numbers may be skewed a little bit to favor them. In the first week they are also 2 - 3, so maybe a investment on the side isn't the play for this game.
The Under / Over for Indy is 11 - 8 - 1, with the unders taking it 11 times, in week 1 they are 4 - 1 again with the unders taking it 4 times.
San Fran is and even 10 - 10 in the over under category since 2005, and in week 1 they are also 4 - 1 with the unders taking the majority of the totals.
It sounds like both of these teams on average, don't score many points in the first week of the preseason, and the under may be the play here. For some reason however, I already went out on a limb an invested in San Fran -3.5, yeah I also took the hook, because I think Singletary wants to start a winning mindset this year, and that begins in the first game. So I am looking for Indy to pack it in, while San Fran does what it has to to win, but the game will end as an under.
