27-15 posted nfl record
9 Plays. The first 3 I consider stronger, even though I play 'em all the same.
1. Arz-Oak Over 43'
This game has all the makings of a shootout. I'm still trying to figure out how this game has the same total as the Indy-Balt game.
2. Jets -3 NE
Although NE has been playing well (some might say way above their head), I think that the Jets are simply the better team here. Only giving the home field three seems to hold some value.
3. Vikings +7 Pittsburgh
What kind of stupid play is this? The Vikes looked absolutely horrible against the Bears. They are team turmoil. The Steelers are on the way to the Super Bowl. Gimme the points.
4. Indy + 6' Balt
Is Baltimore good enough to be laying these points against a talented and potentially explosive team, even without James? Can Baltimore muster up enough points to cover this spread even if they hold the Colts to 10 or 13 points? Will Jim Mora internally combust if Payton throws a couple of picks?
5. Indy-Balt under 43'
IMO, very unlikely that Baltimore covers this game if it goes over. Call it a hedge, or whatever you want, but the chances of going 2-0 on this game is much greater than going 0-2.
6. Det + 7'
In what figures to be a low-scoring game, i'll take the generous points. Sure, Detroit may not win a game this year, but I look for them to keep this one close.
7. Det-Chi under 38'
Hard to figure where these points are going to come from. This game should be played close to the vest on both sides, which means plenty of clock eating.
8. Dallas + 8'
Seems that the Redskins have finally gotten the oddsmakers attention, and then some. In a game that should be more like 6 or 7, i'll grab the 8'.
9. Carolina + 10' New Orleans
Mostly a play against NO, rather than for Carolina. The Panthers have shown that they can cover at home, but can struggle on the road. But NO is a horribly inconsistent, erratic team on both sides of the ball and I have a hard time seeing where they should be laying more than 10 here. NO won (but didn't cover) the last meeting on the last play of the game at Carolina as 5 point favs. This line more or less suggests that 'nothing has changed' as far as how strong the teams are perceived. I agree with that and I look for a similar result.
Good luck this weekend!
