NFL Wk 1

Finished up LY at 89-94-1 in the reg season, and then went 11-7 in layoffs. Looking for better things this year (obviously). AS usual all games are 1 unit w/ lines from my local right before I post.

Rams +2- Rams missing key parts from LY on OL and DL, plus distraction of raising the banner, etc. However, think they find motivation as a HD even though they're the defending champs. Also,
Buff comes in w/ BIG expectations. That can be tough fro some teams. May take a game or two to get into the groove.

Hopefully it's like playing poker w/ your buds. Never want to win the first hand.

After watching the Thurs night game it really does seem that not playing starters much (if any) causes some rust in the opener. I understand why you don't risk stars in meaningless games, but it does seem to impact play. Along those lines I thought about playing every game under, or at least the 1st 1/2 of every game. I may throw some on the unders, but not much since i'm sure the line makers realize this as well.

Jets+6-Harbaugh has a great ATS record in openers, but thinking Lamar may be rusty. Think Jets will be feisty this yr.

Caro <42
Caro -1 Think Mayfield's fire carries the day here. That said I don't think we'll see fireworks. Clev will be 3 yds and a cloud of dust, and put the game in the hands of the D and hope Baker
makes a mistake.

Hous +7 Mills wasn't bad LY at QB. Heart of Indy D Leonard is out. Close one here

Mia -3 Worried about Pats O coaching. Seems dysfunctional to me, and preseason didn't change my mind.

Chi +6- Bad weather and an anti-Trey Lance pick

GB >46- Minny can't stop anyone. They can score, though.

LAC >52- Think this one will be entertaining. Looking for a 31-28 type game.

Tenn <44 Derrick Henry all day and Saquan Barkley most of the day spells under.
