We are back 
Despite the lack of TV coverage (Kirkwood you ain't welcome here)
anyway, onto the games
some interesting prices on the week 1 matchups which generally look quite close to me:
some standout prices early for me:
Bills
Colts
Rams
Cardinals
Chiefs (biggest Punt)
I love an early season dog and I am hoping at least 2 of these win

Scab refs for week 1 at least
Minimum stakes, sit back and watch the carnage unfold |

By:
CLE ov PHI +9 (5/6)
2* WAS @ NO +9 STL @ DET +9 (5/6) IND @ CHI +9.5 TB ov CAR SU (23/20) PIT @ DEN SU (1/1) OAK ov SD +1.5 Fancy some dogs myself, think my Redskins have every chance of getting within 9 of the Saints. Lets just get it on tv now. |

I really fancy SF 49ers at Green Bay.
bet of the weekend is Denver to beat the Steelers |

What is the refereeing situation?

I take it they are still proper refs though?
|
|
By:
Dont know how anybody can bet with confidence on the first week. Its a lottery, turnovers will decide games and at this stage they are unpredictable
|
|
By:
Does anyone else have the feeling that the 49ers will fail to live up to the billing this year
I think they were tremendous last year but I just think that without an elite QB and RB you will fail to put consecutive seasons up in the NFL. their D is great but they won't fly under the radar this year as they did last year. I just cannot see how people are picking them for the SB based on the fact that they nearly beat the Giants last year. just one man's opinion but I think they might struggle. |
|
By:
I am against the Niners this season as well
Randy Moss & Mario Manningham are all very well but you still need a QB who is capable of throwing the deep ball to them and Smith is not that QB, IMO Also the Defence won't be as good this year |
|
By:
Will be surprised if there is a big drop off defensively db1974 ..so long as they don't get hit by an injury crisis......it's rare in this day and age that all defensive starters return.
No fan of Alex Smith mind. |

By:
Yeah maybe. I was swayed by Bill Barnwell's article on the 49ers back at the start of last month.
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8237657/san-francisco-repeat-last-season-greatness As regards this weekends spreads, I like Saints -7.0 vs Redskins - Saints are going to come out of the blocks like a rampaging bull after the off-season suspensions etc. Griffin is going to get the brunt of 6 months of pent-up frustration. Saints also went 8-0 last year in the dome (7 pts worst winning margin) Buccaneers +2.5 vs Panthers - I think the Bucs will show a big improvement from last season when they basically quit on Raheem Morris and I think they have an outside chance of challenging for a play-off spot this year. Also I'm not convinced by Cam Newton, I don't think he had one 300yd game after the 2nd week last year, having thrown 400yds in the 1st 2 weeks. Patriots -5.5 @ Titans - WTF is this line about. The Titans, who couldn't even catch the Texans in AFC South last year when Houston had a 3rd-string QB. Even in the last game of the season, the Texans played their 2nd-string team and the Titans only won because the Texans went for 2 at the end instead of kicking the extra point to bring the game to OT. The Patriots, injuries permitting, could conceivably go 16-0 this season with their schedule. The Pats to win this by at least a TD, if not more. |

I read somewhere today that the Texans line opened up weeks ago -6 and has been chipped away in the US all Summer to its current-12.5 and is predicted to go -13.
I'll be getting with the Bills getting a 3 start and the Ravens to give up 6 though a little worried 48% of the bets struck over the pond on this game are for the Bungals. I'm sure you've got your own sites to get prices stateside but this one is OK, shows price moves each day. http://www.picksfootball.com/DrawPointSpreadMoves.aspx |
|
By:
Whats the deal with this then horse, am i right in thinking that a price move in the US will be followed by the same price move over here?
|
|
By:
Some books open up months in advance, the US line for week 1 were available in the States during the Summer, obviously the layers take a flyer about pre-season injuries, cuts, trades etc but when they opened up the Texans week 1 line they made them 6 point favs, the line is now 12.5.
It's unlikely that any UK bookies had this market up before Monday so the chance to back the Texans giving up 6 for us in the UK didn't exist |
|
By:
Forgot to add, did any of you guys see that an appeal panel overturned the bans on players involved in bountygate today ?
Vilma can now play for the Saints and he'll make a big difference to that D |
|
By:
I see,cheers for explaining that. I saw snippets of it online but didn't get time to read it. An interesting decision, i fancied the saints to do well this year after all of that. I fancy them even more so now.
|
|
By:
Colm has just had surgery and is expected to be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list following the appeal. Smith and Fujita are both expected to play though.
|
|
By:
Colm??????? Stoooopid autocorrect!
Vilma is going on PUP |
|
By:
DB - where did you hear that ?
I thought he had minor knee surgery, I know he missed pre-season but I thought he was otherwise fit. Fujita is not in Cleveland |
|
By:
Correction - Fujita is NOW in Cleveland.

Texans were -7 lowest i saw, but i backed the bills along time ago +5 seattle +1 under 47 gmen game. All the lines are up well in advance now adays in the uk. |

OK cheers Sky - kind of makes sense the way global sport/punting is these days, my brain is usually so fried come Feb that I switch off until Summer camp.
I guess with totals you're always better off going under, imagine going over and finding the weather is blowing a gale and game time sees a dumping of an inch of rain.... |
|
By:
Yeah mate, tbh i really like the under in that game before pre season, all them bets apart from seattle were placed before pre season, little risky but took my chances.
Lets hope for a good season for the chiefs mate, but i feel we wont win the division imo and will lose tommorow. |

Sky - bold prediction time, going into week 17 I say every team in the West will still have play off chances.
Remember last year we had to do it without Berry and Jamaal and the difference Eric made in 2010 from the 2009 secondary was huge, we're a much better team than we showed last year, I think we're a cracking price at 7/2.... |
|
By:
I played the over/under total points markets last season with reasonable success.
With defenses having a full off season under their belts this year, i'm expecting total offensive yards to be slightly down on last year in comparative games, and will be expecting a few points less. Maybe something to watch out for in the early weeks. |
