I generally stay away from teasers but would like people's thoughts on this one:
Patriots -1 at Miami // Chargers -2.5 vs Minnesota
-110 odds
1. I "know the history" of New England at Miami. Usually that game is later in the year when the Pats have AFC East locked up, and usually it's a 1PM kickoff in the bright South Florida sun. This is Week 1, Primetime, and the Dolphins don't have shit. The Pats are going to be out for bear seeing as how last season ended for them. I think I'll actually be heavy on Pats -7. Realize that's as square as it gets, but traditionally the squares have CLEANED UP in NFL Week 1 over the past 7 years.
2. I do worry about the Chargers shitting the bed as usual, and if the Vikings pound AP it's a little scary. This bet is frightening to be sure. Anyone else think there's a safer play out there? The Pats are a sure thing. How about Giants +2.5 at Washington?
