Hello again, pigskin profiteers! Week 2 in the NFL is full of promising payouts, and here are my plays:
Titans +1.5I jumped on this one earlier in the week. The bumbling Bengals should play better, but the Titan running game and defense will tame these timid tigers. Also, backup QB Kerry Collins brings stability and experience to the position. The Bengals will
not be able to focus on strictly stopping the run.
Panthers -3I'm not sold on the Bears. They beat a rusty Peyton Manning and an offensive line certainly weakened by the injury to Jeff Saturday. The Panthers last play road win over the Chargers was the greater feat, and, overall, Carolina looks more like the real deal.
Giants -9.5Although the Giants have not faced the Rams since 2005, they have won the
last three meetings. Plus, it seems the Rams have no problem wallowing in the shameful suckdom that was last season.
Packers -3.5Green Bay has won the last five meetings, and only
once was the victory by three or fewer points. I do not doubt the Lions offense will be more effective at home, but unless the defense follows suit the Packers should cover the number. (The over, 46 or 46.5, also looks real good.)
Raiders +4No, nobody held a gun to my head and forced me to do what most would call "foolish as hell." I just feel this super talented team will rally together today, not for their soon-to-be-canned coach, but to stop ESPN from running stories about how much the team sucks.
May all your wagers be winners! P.S. Make sure to have a few beers and a plate of hot wings for Vince Young. NFL Record: 4-1
