Sunday NFL - Week 1

[Tinfish]

0-1 YTD

Dolphins +5
Denver has struugled on the road in recent seasons and lets face a cold wearther team going to Miami in Sept is a challenge especially since they have never won there. Not to mention the Opening Day record for Miami. I hear alot about Miami being bad but the way I see it they have upograded sligghtily at all offensive positions with the addition of Frerotte , Brown , and Boston. Ther edefense lost some key players but hopefully they ones they added fit in right aklongside Surtain , Seau , Thomas , Taylor and Co. Expect Miami to come out amped entering the Saban Era.They never lost at home by more then 10 pts now ask yourself how many pick 6's did Mr.Feely throw last year and how wre the deciding margin ATS.

Browns +4
No one is giving Cleveland any chance yet they won in Cleveland last year vs Cincy. Crennel will have his defense ready to play like it showed all preseason and he will try to control the clock with the running game and Dilfer. Big rivalry matchup and letys not forget that maybe Marvin Lewis is not good at preparing his team for the start of the season as I believe in consecutive years they underperformed and started 1-4. Cincy has the talent but they didnt look so HOT till they wxed Indy in the last preseason game which is always a tricky game to figure.

Titans +7.5
Keep hearing about what they lost but did anyone notice that last year when the whole team was on IR. They have a healthy McNair who is an MVP type player when healthy and he is. They still have TAnk WIlliams and Woolfork in teh secondary along with Pac Man Jones who hopefully grows up quick. Haynesworth could be a beast and what about Piutts offense scares you. Big Ben has been overthrowing WR's for about 6 games now they dont have Bus or Staley healthy. If Tenny can muster upp some points vs a good defnse they might even be able to pull of the WIN!

Bears +6
Two great defenses square off and this should be a FG game.

Saints +7.5
Never liked CArolina as a favorite and NO always plays them well.

Jaguars -2.5
One of my strongest plays as Seattle has to make the cross country trip for a 1PM game never a good situation for the West teams. Personally I really liek Jags defense and think Leftwich now has some weapons to play with in the passing game with the additions of Matt Jones and Chad Owens as well as the growth of Reggie Williams.

Cheifs -2.5
Just think this is KC's year. There defense is improved and Pennington still not 100%.

49ers +6
Rattay can put points on the board and I have a feeling this defense will suprise some. The RAms always struggle on the road especially on GRASS. The Rams didnt seem to answer any defensive questions this preseason. This could be the biggest trap game on the board. Either 49ers keep it close or barely win, or the rams win by 40

Lions -2.5
GB just doesnt have any defense. Favre has always struggled vs DET and this is the changing of the guard as GB lost too much on the OL and defense side.

Cowboys +5
IMO SD did overacheive last year and showed it vs NYJ in the playoffs. Dallas has made tremendous strides defensively while upgrading some with Bledsoe! No Gates takes away there #1 receiving threat and can Brees repeat???

Ravens +3.5
Just love that defense and now we have some weapons on offense. Indy sleep walked thru the PRESEASON and I dont think they can just turn it on. I think Bollers suprises!

Eagles -1
Philly is good on both sides of the ball. Atlanta will need to make plays on the ground cause I cant see them doing much vs that secondary!

Interesting picks Week 1 is tough.
Dallas @ San Diego? Man thats tough. Ill take it.
San Francisco? I cant do that. No way

New York Giants +3 Kurt warner vs. Eli lol. Eli is prob. for game day (elbow). The Giants should cover but it is the NYG. Arizona defense will make it an interesting day for Eli.
