Pittsburgh +1
Pittsburgh/Baltimore over 36
Pittsburgh's offense should open up this season in my opinion. Expect both teams to struggle to establish a run game, but both secondaries are very beatable, we have two very capable quarterbacks and a plethora of weapons at receiver. I think the Pittsburgh/Baltimore rivalry is going to take on a bit of a new shape this season.
Giants -2.5
Was seriously not expecting to bet this game, but the injuries are starting to get blown a bit out of proportion. When you boil it down to Eli Manning vs. Rex Grossman and see less than a field goal's worth of chalk, I think the Giants become a play. I'm expecting Tuck to go out there and the Giants D-Line should still hold a considerable advantage over the Washington O-Line.
Panthers +7 2 units
103 degrees out there today. Feel I've exhausted this a bit, don't always trust public perception, look at the rosters and decide for yourself who really has the better team here. Hopefully Cam Newton avoids a rookie nightmare, I'm thinking the ground game keeps them in it and it won't surprise me if they win outright. Favorite play on the board so we're doubling down.
Bengals +6.5
Similar case to the Panthers game, I just think the Browns are being overrated. Giving the Bengals a significantly lesser chance of winning outright than Carolina, but think they are going to be better than everyone thinks. I don't see an 0-16 team here like everyone is projecting, I think more like 5-11, with the Browns being in a very similar boat, making 6.5 simply too much.
Texans -9
Won't see me laying the wood with this many points too often this season I can assure you of that. I think that there are enough people out there still thinking that the Colts are going to be game with name guys like Addai, Wayne and Clark. Problem is, much of these players success is due to Manning and all of them are on the decline. The Texans I think are for real finally, and I expect an explosion today.
