I had a pretty good start in the NFL last weekend, turning a nice little profit! I have a good set of games im going to be playing, so grab a pen!
Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons (-6)-
The Falcons looked like they deserved all the offseason hype they received as they handled the Dolphins quite easily in Week 1. On the other hand the Panthers could not of looked worse on both sides of the ball. They gave up a lot of yards on the ground to a couple backs who couldn't hold Turner's jock. Also look for Mike Peterson and company to force Delhomme into some more bad throws. Adding Tony Gonzalez to this allready potent offense will prove to be very beneficial to the falcons. Look for Atlanta to follow up its big win last year at home. Pick Falcons (-6)
New Orleans Saints @ Philladelphia Eagles (+1.5)-
Im still a little confused by this spread even though McNabb will be out for this earlier NFC battle. Even without Donovan i still think the Eagles can move the ball on the ground enough to win this game. The key will be with the defense though, and i can promise you that Brees wont put up his week 1 numbers for this defense. The Lions were able to actually move the ball pretty well last week vs the Saints putting up 27 points, and even with Kolb at the helm they have a better offense than the Lions. I will put my faith in this Eagles defense, and take the slight home dog in this one. Eagles (+1.5)
New England Patriots @ New York Jets (+3.5)
Am i missing something here? So the Jets win a game vs the Texans so they are better than Tom Brady and the Patriots. Call me crazy but Brady looks like his old self in that second half of the Bills when he led his team to the W. Dont let that first game block your view of what your seeing here. This is a great team, that has a chance to win it all this year. I do think the Jets could be improved, but the Patriots will set up some nice plays to shake the rookie up. Playing the Texans is a little bit diffrent then playing Bellicheck's Patriots. Look for the Pats to win this game by more than a TD. Pick- Pats (-3.5)
Seattle Seahawks @ San Francisco 49ers (-1)
Yes i know im a 49ers fan, but did anyone watch that game last week? The revamped 49ers defense under guru Mike Singletary shut down one of the best offenses in the NFL last season, and defending NFC champion. I know the offense didnt look great, but the Seahawks wont be able to contain Gore like the Cardinals did. I think the 49ers should be able to contain Julius Jones, and force Hasselback to throw the ball to his "shitty" receivers. Look for Shaun Hill to continue what he does, which is manage the game and limit mistakes. This will be a fun battle in San Fran! Oh yeah... did i mention the game was in Arizona last week :) Pick- 49ers (-1)
Baltimore Ravens @ San Diego Chargers (-3)
Well to put this simply the Ravens Defense looked like the Ravens defense last week, and the Chargers offense look like shit. Flacco had the best game of his young career, and Rivers looks terrible. LT is out for this game, and Ray Rice looks better every game i watch. I do think the Chargers will compete this year, and win that division but the Ravens defense is scary good. I think if there is a team that can match that speed of Sproles, its the Ravens. As long as Flacco doesnt make many mistakes this should be a Ravens win. Pick- Ravens (+3)
There ya go...might add another in the morning :)
GOOD LUCK AND GOOD NIGHT!!
