Will start the new season with :

Baltimore -3

If this was the reg. season, Baltimore would be -10!
Vick will only play one series for Atlanta, then rookie Matt Schaub will play into the 4th. Baltimore will go with Boller for most of the first quarter and will then go with Kordell Stewart for the rest. (Good or bad, he should be better than Schaub!)
Atlanta's defense is being re-jigged, but again looks to be weak v. the run. Lewis won't play, but Taylor and Smith should be able to run for big yards.
Baltimore D should definately be able to keep a Vick-less Atlanta quiet.

Good Luck all :cool:

1-0 (+0.87)

Minni -3.5 (2.00 @ Canbet) [edit: Sorry...was -3.5, not -3!]

Minni will be out for revenge after Arizona beat them in the last game last season to knock them out of the play-offs. Arizona have BIG injury concerns already, can't see the starters being in the game long, as they won't want to risk anyone else. Min have a MUCH better QB rotation, and also much better in the backfield. Should add up to a big Minni win.

Jax +3 (Played earlier in week.)

Miami have virtually nothing on offense with Boston and Williams gone. Fiedler and Feely have struggled in training camp.
Jacksonville were ranked no. 1 v. the run last season and nothing has changed. Miami won't have the offensive threats to beat Jax deep. Very hard seeing Miami scoring a TD in this game.
Jax have decent QB depth with Gerard and Johnson coming in after Leftwich.

Miami 1-9-2 when favoured <3 in pre-season under Wannstedt.

Oakland -1

Really like this game. Apparently Oak owners have instructed coaches to win, to turn around last seasons disappointment.
Have to think Oak's QB rotation is MUCH better than Dorsey and Doman...Plus BIG injury worries for SF.

Detroit -3

Det won 26-13 pre-season Wk.1 last season with pretty much the same QB's. Staley been added to Pits, but much more been added to the Det offense.
Like Det to open it up and give some excitement to the home fans early (even if they can't sustain it for the season!).

Cleveland @ Tenn UNDER 36.5

Cleveland O been decimated by injury already! Hard to see them scoring too much. I believe Tenn will be concentrating more on trying to establish their running game, should see a lot of time eaten away.
10-6 last pre-season wk.1. No reason to expect any more excitement this time around.

Carolina +3.5

Washington looked poor on Monday. Not only did their offense struggle, Denver ran on them consistantly all game.
3 quality QB's, Davis and Foster, and a tough D. Too much for the 'Skins to handle.

Good Luck all :cool:
