NFL Wk 1

Back to try another year after squeaking out a profit LY.

2019
Reg season 90-82-2
Playoffs 10-5-1

Here we go:

Hous +10 Was all set to take KC. No preseason, so a veteran team should be at an advantage. Houston working in some new
pieces. However, with several KC opt-outs (starting RG and RB) and suspensions (starting CB and DT), and thinking the
D's will be ahead of the O's (a dangerous proposition against KC) I'm rolling w/ Houston. I think lack of a crowd as a HF
advantage will also factor in. Also, it'll probably be JJ Watts only full game of the season (based on recent history) and
he'll be a difference maker.

Not a great start. Hopefully it'll be like playing poker with your buddies...you never want to win the first hand.

Just a refresher, my lines are from my local at the time I bet 'em. It's usually pretty close to the time I post.

Balt -7- Seem to recall Harbough with a great record anytime he has >1 week to prep (except, of course, vs Tenn LY in playoffs). I
look for Balt to regress some this year, but like them here vs Clev w/ another new coaching staff.

Caro +3 Going w/ a new coach here. Not sold on LV playing on early on east coast. I'm leery of Bridgewater, but just think wrong
team is favored.

NE >41- NE D lost a lot of talent through FA and opt outs. Think Fitz lights 'em up, and Cam shows flashes of old until he gets nicked
up.

Jax +7 Line should probably be higher, but I'll bite. Love big dogs in wk 1, even though I took Balt above.

Ciny +2- I'm drinking the Burrow kool aid, which probably isn't good. These are still the Bengals.

Wash +5- Going against the walking wounded that are the Eagles. Between LY and so far this year, these guys can't keep anyone
healthy. I expect they lose 2 or 3 more today due to lack of normal t-camp.

NYG +6 I can't help it. line seems way to low. Nothing to recommend the G-men except that.
