Good luck guys looking forward to posting my picks all year long, hopefully it's a good one. This is what I have locked in but may end up adding some before Sunday. I'll keep this thread updated.
 
 
Giants -4
New York is flying so far under the radar with the loss of Strahan/Umenyiora right now it isn't funny. People fail to realize this team got deeper in the secondary and more comfortable with Spagnuolo defense. They must not have payed much attention to the WR battle in camp because they aren't just healthy for once, they are also very deep.
 
I like Washington over the course of the season but not in this particular spot. New York defense is going to be stout and the offense is going to open things up.
 
Lions -3
This one kind of makes me nervous because of the size of the spread and the disparity between the teams. Seems too good to be true. Maybe Detroit just isn't as good as I think they will be this year. I just don't see who Atlanta has on defense that is going to stop this Detroit offense. This offense will be better without Mike Martz. More balanced and effective. Interested to see how Kevin Smith adapts to the pros in this game.
 
Cowboys -5.5
 
Teams made the Cleveland first team defense look silly in the preseason and Dallas has a tough offense to slow down. I honestly don't even see this one being close. Cleveland could go shot for shot with them for a while but Dallas will put their foot on Clevelands throat toward the end.
 
 
 
I'm leaning towards
Chiefs +17
Texans +6.5

I'm all over Dallas. If they can't beat the Browns by two scores, I'm thinking another one and done year in the playoffs for the Boys.

Adding

Kansas City Chiefs +16

Kansas City has a healthy Larry Johnson and 16 points just seems like a little too much. New England rusty out of the gate  combined with Kansas City ability to run the ball should keep this within striking distance.

That's at least what I'm hoping for. Even though I locked it in I'm still worried about New England completely blowing Kansas City back home but 16 is a lot.

gonna go with one Monday Night play..

 

Green Bay -2.5

 

I do not think Aaron Rodgers is going to be as bad as most people think. MNF Home opener, Lambeau will be rockin, Minnesota improves again this offseason but Green Bay has a championship caliber D, everything Minnesota has minus Peterson, and something Minnesota doesn't: a passing game. Pretty impressed with Rodgers last year in the Dallas game and looked sharp in one of his preseason games. Don't see how this series is going to change much from last year.
