Carolina(-3)(+100) over Dallas (1*)
- - The better team with better coaching getting a favorable line in their home opener.
Cincinnati(Pk) over Indianapolis (1*)
- - I should have bet this game earlier. Andrew Luck 1.0 would have to cover a lot of deficiencies, I have yet to see Andrew Luck 2.0 earn that kind of stature.
Houston(+6) over New England (1*)
- - Texans playing from a city of substantial narratives will produce numerous chances to win this game, and of course that includes late. I don?t want just a cover.

New Orleans(-10) over Tampa Bay (1*)
- - A bad spot for Fitzpatrick as a caretaker QB.
Denver(-3) over Seattle (1*)
- - Case Keenum is a desperately needed upgrade at QB. I like the old look Broncos opening at altitude against the new look Seahawks.
San Diego(-3') over Kansas City (1*)
Baltimore(-8) over Buffalo (1*)
- - I liked these sides on both these games, and any reluctance to pull the trigger is overcome with this technical trend:
week 1 NFL
week 1 play against week 1 road dogs KO'd from playoffs early LY (7-27 ATS, against KC and BUF)
- tightener = if dog of 3+ with total>37 (1-21 ATS, against KC and BUF)
Maybe two new Qbs shatter that trend by going 2-0, but don?t wager if you are not going to trust your capping.
Chicago(+7)(-115) over Green Bay (1Biscuit)

Lots to like about the Packers (Rogers with an embarrassment of riches at TE is huge with his inexperienced WRs), but some things to like about the Bears, too.
Cleveland(+3') over Pittsburgh (1*)
- - I know I shouldn?t, especially under Keystone Cop conditions, but it is what it is.
Minnesota(-5') over San Francisco (1*)
- - Line is inflated, but I?m not sold on San Francisco as anything better than a 9-7 team moving in the right direction that likely goes 7-9 without some breaks.
Houston(Ov21')(-115) v. New England
- - My favorite total.
