NFL lines seem really sharp this first week.

[JR007]

I always think the non-divisonal games,first, when looking for value, realisticly, the main goal is to win your division, a loss in these games , would only make a difference in tiebreakers,.......look at sports-spy, lopsided action already... on the eagles, look at the lack of interest, on the Bills and Tenn games..........interesting

[fud007]

Giants -3 at Skins... love the NY d-line and I think they pressure Rex into a few mistakes... hopefully Eli 'in the same class as Brady' Manning doesn't give the ball right back.

[jsaunte]

like giants aswell.
also falcons -3 think they get of to a good start

[TheCommish]

Tennessee, Cleveland, Arizona, New England -- all will be double digit wins.

[k13]

That was odd, Giants went to -2.5 for a minute then back to 3 at the greek.

[big0mar]

Take the NO/GB game over 47

Easiest one on the board. Should cash by halftime.

This game is going under. Gregg Williams and Dom Capers have had months to get ready. Both teams added talent to their defenses as well.

[big0mar]

Bengals are a solid play FYI.

[pavyracer]

The lockout lasted till late July. You mean they had only 1 month to prepare for this game.

[james4512]

dont like much leans NO over Giants but thats about it

[Blazermaniac]

As shitty as Smith is....books know what they are doing. And people are biting it already. If you're not sure take the ML. Otherwise lay the 5.5.

[playboy_1]

if you are interested? canadian football take the calgary-3 -110 this is winning bet.....only if you need one big strong play.....

[slacker00]

DAL's defense defo scares me..especially that secondary. Throw in Romo's potential for bonehead plays, too. But I'm not sold on NY either. They were atrociously bad in the red zone off and def last year. And what of Sanchez? Is he going to take the next step sometime soon? If DAL get up 14 points I'm not sure he can bring them back.

Wow, man. We are 180 degrees in the opposite direction on this game. Romo is the only hope for the Cowboys and he can't do shit if he's scraping himself off the turf and getting medical attention by halftime. Tell me about the Cowboys offensive line, seriously, there are major questions there to which the Jets will have a definite answer. This game is so lopsided that it might be best for Dallas if they get blown out so bad that they sit Romo at halftime so they don't lose him for the season like last year.

As for Sanchez, have you even been watching him? He played great in the playoffs last year, what do you want from him?!

All you cats that's sleepin on the lions watch and learn. Its not a fukkin joke in the D anymore. Stafford, Megatron, Suh.. Its not a game anymore. The Matt Millen cloud no longer hangs over this franchise . We went into Tampa last year without Stafford and them needing a win and beat them by 3.

I agree. The way I've heard some idiots talk about the Lions, you'd think they came of 0-16 last year. They are a real team.

[gshock1]

Ravens -1
Skins +3

[Sunde91]

BALT line might have hit its low at -1.5. PITT is a top public play to drive it so far. Would be shocked to see it stay -1.5 after BALT money hits back.

[GunShard]

I don't know why the public is on the Ravens.

[4TH AND STUPID]

I don't know why the public is on the Ravens.

they arent...

I'm staying away from this game and you could be right about it being lopsided, but I'm just not sold on NY. Nothing about them scares me at all. #1 running game and stopping the run? That only gets you so far in this league. Sanchez isn't even a top 10 QB yet, maybe not even top 15. Has he played good in spots? Yes. Does a team game plan for him? No. I think Rex gets more out of his team than the talent suggests.

As for DAL, I hope they suck. Nothing brings me more happiness in life. But they have a ton of great skill players on offense. If they can sort out their O-line and adjust to Ryan's scheme on D by midseason, watch out.

[Timmay]

I like Balty, but against Pitt?!?! I just don't see value. I really like S.F., I'm hoping they'll be more in Sync this year.

[3GCOVERAGE]

The Colts Texans under is a good play. The colts offensive is going to be terrible. The colts d can't stop the run. The Texans will get up early and run clock.

[Glitch]

i think braylon edwards is really going to smooth out that offense a lot and give whoever ends up being the qb throughout the season a lot of safety net. michael crabtree might have a breakout year.

i wouldnt bet this game either way but if were to guess who was going to win, id say niners.
........................................ ........................................ ...............

for everyone who likes the giants this week:

"The Giants lost middle linebacker Jonathan Goff for the season with a torn ACL suffered in Monday's practice. He became the fifth key defensive player lost for the year, joining cornerbacks Terrell Thomas and Bruce Johnson, rookie defensive tackle Marvin Austin and linebacker Clint Sintim.In addition, defensive end Osi Umenyiora is out this week after knee surgery and first-round pick Prince Amukamara will be out for six to eight weeks with a broken foot.
Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Justin Tuck, the team's defensive captain, didn't practice Thursday because of a sore neck and indicated he would not play in this game unless it improved." - espn.com


........................................ ........................................ .............


browns should definitely win. colt m'boy mccoy is a legit qb and a hard worker who puts on 10 pounds of muscle every year. this team looks comfortable with inching up the field and then once they get in the redzone, forget it- hillis is a monster. hopefully cribbs will emerge as a great wr or rb and not just the best returnman.


........................................ ........................................ .............


lions are much much improved and it is very ignorant not to acknowledge their new talent all over the field. they have a top 3 wr, a top 3 kicker, a top 2 D-line and other talent that compliments them. The buccaneers have a great coach and qb and a bunch of rough, muscular type guys who will try to run over the opposition. they didnt look too good in preseason but i am afraid to take detroit against them heavily here.


........................................ ........................................ .....................


big favorites to take comfortably ML if youre that sort of better:
chargers, cardinals


big favorites of which to beware:
texans, patriots


........................................ ........................................ .............


i didnt really so much bet ON the chiefs as much as against the bills. if they dont get CJ spiller going, its going to be a tough road ahead for a long time for this franchise.


........................................ ........................................ .................


overs i like are the jets game, chargers game and denver game.



........................................ ........................................ ........


games that look like relative coinflips ml-
falcons/bears, jets/cowboys, ravens/steelers, nyg/wash


........................................ ........................................ ...........




cant believe football season is finally here.

Solid post Glitch.

[BigDeem5]

Vikings +9 is a great play - I don't give a f* about the public, Vikings may win this game outright.
I like Tampa -1 or -1.5 whatever your book has
Oakland +3
Seattle +6 and ML

Some big fav ML's I like:
Pats/Browns/Houston

Some dogs:
Seattle, Vikings, Oakland ML

I don't cap totals but these are solid picks. Chargers stink.

[HustleGetPaid]

raiders have lost 8 straight week 1 games

steelers have won 8 straight week 1 games

Great info, was about to post that...

[(Reyes)]

[DDT]

raiders have lost 8 straight week 1 games

Good Stat...thanks

[Glitch]

and redskins have won 4 straight season (home) openers.

hail

[brahmabull117]

if anything I would buy a point in this game and play pittsburg + 3.5


the steelers have had tremendous success against baltimore and if they lose, it will very likely be a close game

the casual advice to "buy a point in this game" actually means buy 2 points to and past 3 which would make this something like a -200 play

Eagles only -205 (-4) now

NFL week should be crazy.

[odog11]

Is it just me or with all these injuries to the Giants D does Washington TT over 17 make a lot of sense?

I am also toying with a future bet, Giants to not make the playoffs. -130.

[NYSportsGuy210]

Giants schedule is brutal the second half of the year especially weeks 10-17.

I think they will be 8-8 at best.

Just tease it across the 7, that's better value. Better yet, play the ML. A healthy Ben could be deadly this year.

[Dexter]

Revenge factor. They lost an OT game there last year.

im not a big believer in revenge angles when looking at bad teams - the bills may not be good enough to get the revenge - especially on the road.

i did look at the broncos as somewhat of a revenge angle - they're not a great team, but they really got embarrassed by the raiders last year and they are home in the high altitude.
