Top 3 Games to Bet on: Confidence Rating 1-5 (5 means the game is a lock)
Eagles @ Lions Under 41.5 Confidence Rating: 5
This is the game that I’m most confident in betting on. The under will hit for a variety of reasons. One of the obvious reasons is that Shaun Hill will be the starting QB for the Lions. The offense as a whole will be ineffective. The Lions o-line is still horrible. The Eagles have one of the most aggressive defenses in the league and have ball-hawk players like Quintin Mikell and Asante Samuel who might give Hill fits. Also, the Lions made big moves in the offseason to bolster up their defense as well and the improvement showed against the Bears. The Lions have a relentless front four with Suh, Corey Williams, and Kyle Vanden Bosch. The Lions will be playing in front of a sold out crowd in their home opener. The defense will benefit from that. My prediction is that the Lions will find it difficult to score with a new QB going up against a good D. However, on the other side of the ball, they have a week to gameplan knowing that Vick is starting so they’ll do a better job than the Packers did. This game will be closer than everyone thinks.
Bears @ Cowboys -7 Confidence Rating: None, I want the Bears to win!
I hate to write this since the Football Freaks are from Chicago, but the Cowboys are going to reassure the fans on their home opener that they’re Superbowl bound. The Cowboys are getting two OL back which means Mr. Hold-a-Lot, Alex Barron will be on the bench. Their run game might be stopped, however the pass protection will be much better. The Bears was #1 in total offense through week 1, but only came out with 19 points. Bears had a lot of turnovers and inconsistencies on the offensive side and that’s due to them still learning a new system. My prediction is that the Cowboys offense will play much better at home and their D will force Cutler into many mistakes this week. The Bears are a good team, but the Cowboys have too much talent and can’t afford to go 0-2.
Rams @ Oakland -3.5 Confidence Rating: 4
The Rams travel all the way out west to visit Oakland for their home opener. Oakland’s coming off a tough loss, but they have to feel better coming into this matchup against a worse team than them. With the talent the Rams have on their team, it’ll take a few more weeks for them to until Sam Bradford begins to gel with this offense and win his first NFL game. The Raiders did a good job keeping Cadillac Williams in check limiting him to 75 yards on 20+ carries. They’re up for a much bigger test in Steven Jackson, but the Raiders will make sure they’ll key in on their only offensive threat in Jackson and will also not allow a rookie QB spoil the Raiders’ home opener. I think the Raiders will win this game by a TD.
Bills @ Packers -12.5 Confidence Rating: 3
This spread is awfully huge, so that’s why my rating isn’t so high, but I think the Bills offense will be stagnant like it was last week and the Packers offense will move the ball down the field fairly easily. The Bills D showed a valiant effort in their loss to the Dolphins, but they’ll be going up against an offense that’s on another level from most teams. This is the Packers home opener so they want to give a show to the fans. The Bills are a perfect defense for the Packers to toy with. My prediction is that the Bills will be climbing out of a big hole early. Edwards doesn’t have the arm or the surrounding talent to make this a close game in the hostile environment at Lambeau.
