NFL Week 1 Early Leans and Explanations
First game: Cleveland +7.5 vs. Eagles.
Okay the Browns playing at home against the Eagles. I know that most people would think I'm crazy to say the Browns will win this outright, but I think the chances are higher than what most think. I see the Browns really pounding the ball and abusing the small box of the Eagles. I think that the Browns will use clock management and I think this goes down to he wire and whoever has the ball last will make or break the game. I'm going Browns +7.5
Washington +10 vs. New Orleans
To me way to many points for a team without a head coach, missing key defensive players, and of course the long drawn out contract negotiations. I see a Saints victory, but I think that the defense of Washington will keep this one closer than what most think. Washington +10
Detroit -425 vs. Rams
I would give the points away here, but with how the Lions go from kick ass to non-existent, I will play it safe and just make this a pick em... In what should be a dominant victory for the Lions. They have the offense, a defensive front that will put lots and lots of pressure on Bradford... I'm lovin me some Lions..
Pittsburgh -105(hopefully gets higher on ml) vs. Denver Broncos
Mannings first game in how long?? Not to mention he has to play in a elevated environment. Needless to say this isn't the greatest welcome back game Manning could get, he has to play a rough defense and I think that the Steelers will be focused as to set the pace for the season in a shaky AFC north division, outright win for the the Steelers.
Last but certainly not least, the Cincinnati Bengals +6 vs. Baltimore Ravens.
So I maybe biased here as I am a Cincy fan, but through following them for my life and this last off-season I feel really good about this match up.. Terrell Suggs is missing and that defensive secondary is not the greatest. I think that many people will not factor in the fact that Cincinnati will be getting a healthy Shipley back along with more of a two tight end system. The Bengals defense is revamped and will have another strong rotation up front. We may not win the game, but I look for a field goal to 4 point loss or vis versa, Hopefully a win
Lets hear some feed back please
