WEEK 1

OK...so maybe I'm the only one left that will post on this blog. Maybe this blog is dead? And maybe, just maybe, the Cubs won't blow their minuscule division lead in September. One day at a time right? A week from tomorrow, who cares?! The NFL is back! NO vs. Indy. Possible Super Bowl matchup in the first game of the season??? I definitely have the Saints, but can the Colts repeat? Right now, it doesn't matter....it's just good to have football back. For the 0,1, or maybe 2 people that actually read this blog, I'm going to post my spread bets on the following this season: every Thursday side, 3 Sunday NFL sides, 3 Sunday NFL totals, every Monday Night side.

Without any further hesitation, I present my Week 1 picks:
NO +5 Indy
This game should be a back and forth track meet....and close. The Saints could win this outright.
Buffalo +3.5 Denver
Jay Cutler on the road against a solid defense by more than 3? Broncos are the better team, but this game should be low scoring and close....Bills win 16-14
Tennessee +7 Jacksonville
Honestly, I'm playing the HIGH Tennessee was on the last 5-6 weeks of last season. The Titans have defensive issues, but I'm betting VY can keep it close...and MAY pull one out on the road.
NY Jets +7 NE Pats
Consider this my lock of the week. All of the square "favorite" betters are all over New England this year (and for good reason). However, the J-E-T-S almost always play them very tough at home AND the Pats rarely start a season off without question marks. It's not out of the question that the J-E-T-S could win this game outright.
Denver/Buffalo under 37.5
Cutler on the road and 2 solid defenses. Enough said.
Tennessee/Jacksonville over 37.5
Yes, the Jags love to run the ball and play tough D....but I say VY gets the Titans 20+ in his 07 debut....a couple of breakout runs by Jones-Drew and this game goes way over.
Detroit/Oakland under 39.5
This should be an ugly game. Unless there are too many defensive TDs, both offenses will struggle.
Cincy -2.5 Baltimore
The Ravens are solid this year, but Cincy has their number at home...and the team will feloniously be amped up for Monday Night.
Arizona +3 San Fran
I'm going to bet against the "sexy" pick of San Fran every chance that I get early in the season. This team is not quite ready.

That's all for now folks, good luck.
