Week one bets

[fearsomefour]

Living in a gambling town I like to place the occasional bet, although frankly Im not very good at it.
Picks for weeks 1.

Jets -4.5 (vs Oakland)

Steelers -5 (vs Cleveland)

Eagles/Jaguars over 53 points

Tampa Bay +2.5 (vs Carolina)

Usually bad business taking favorites. I will see if I can keep. My parley losing streak going.

Jets -4.5 (vs Oakland)

Gotta disagree with this one -

Out here in NorCal, the Raider Nation is going more nuts than usual over their impending turnaround. Their sports pages are blowing up with "Surprise Team" threads & it does look like they have found something with Carr. But then again, I'm so good at gambling, I never do it..

I am not seeing why KC is only a 3 pt fave at home?? that's basically saying they are even as 3 pts is usually the home adv. What am I missing? Isnt KC MUCH better than Tenn? Tenn has Locker as QB (not great), Shonn Greene and a rookie RB- what am I missing? I thought this line would be KC by 6 or 7.

Even if Cam Newton is out? He's questionable.

There is the Newton's question.He is in or not?the quote could show he is out.

Me either. But a new HC, week 1, at home... That's a lot of vibe going the Bucs way.

That said; I too have picked the Panthers in this one.

Won't likely know until the inactives are announced, 1hr before start.

Brady is always ... questionable!I don't understand for what reason NFL let the patriots do it.

Personally I don't have any Faith in a New HC, week 1, AWAY! ie. Vikings!

it is hard enough adding all the games let alone adding the spreads for games that could change all week long.

We had a vote on this months ago and the consensus was straight pickem.

A rookie QB starting on the road....I will take the Jets all day on this one.

You are right, got my "+" and my "-" crossed up typing. I did get them at -3 vs. Carolina, although, some places here that line has moved. Also, the Jets up to a 5.5 point favorite at one place, I got them at -4.5 .
I dont disagree with Tampa being a little overhyped but Carolina was overrated all last year in my opinion, should be an interesting game.

And they are not tied into here.
