I haven't bet online seriously since Covid. I am under the illusion that I know the NFL like the back of your hand, so this is for fun and challenge. I confess to finding no fun in embarrassment and/or humiliation, and both transcend challenge. 10G imaginary bankroll and I'll rock in terms of C-note units.
Using Pinnacle numbers as that was most recent book. Probably should switch to a book that doesn't screw its customers on teaser lines (e.g. Colts +2.5 to only +7 on 6-point teaser). My faulty memory claims that teasers are viable, but will test such cognitive allegations within, vociferously.

--Cowboys: They showed enough fight last week to convince me that they can handle an allegedly decent Giants defense. A Russell Wilson rebound will not be well received at AT&T Stadium.
--Steelers: Pit's D should rebound and they will be facing a much more immobile QB this time. Seahawks D had a lot of preseason praise, but I could say the same for the Jets, not to mention that Rodgers at home should be more successful than Purdy was in Lumen Field.
--49ers: 49ers offense ravaged by injuries, but defense remains intact. Not sure what to make of Saints outgaining Cardinals last week, but I am accepting of preseason analysis that argued for Cards as middling at best, while Saints should be in running for top draft pick. Mac Jones backed for at least one famous last week.
--Buccaneers: Baker Mayfield might get some mojo from playing in Texas, and I expect him to improve on his poor week 1 showing. Bucs pass D might be a work in progress, but the final verdict is not in on who will prosper more, over time, between Penix and Stroud.
===+===
--rams@Titans under: Titans defense expected to be solid, and appeared so in week 1, while their offense is obviously a work in progress. Rams D also solid and team should be targetting a quick and painless win-and-get-outta-town.
--bills@Jets over: Jets are likely to find Josh Allen as unforgiving as Aaron Rodgers was. Jets score half of what they did last week, vs Steelers (Bills allowing 40 at home to Ravens), and this total should go over.
--eagles@Chiefs over: Mahomes looked rowdy enough to at least conjure 20 here. Chiefs bend and then break defense will inevitably need a few weeks to sort out coverage. Chiefs run D looked good but Chargers no comparison to Eagles in that regard, especially with rookie Hampton getting the bulk vs Chiefs in his first game action.
--chargers@Raiders over: Chargers offense made the Chiefs D look awful, and it also appears that Chargers might not have the best defenders in pass coverage. Geno Smith is likely to put up yardage in his first Vegas start, and with the way they let Drake Maye toss the ball around, I would expect the Raiders to comply in the passing game, for Herbert.
