week one: 4-1
 
Had a good week..thanks New York football Giants...thanks Kansas City (that means you Bernard Pollard )...thanks Dallas....thanks Green Bay......fu Michael Turner , was leaning towards Oakland tonight but not totally sold so I'm not gonna push it too much. Cutler is on a mission this year (as he tosses it in the end zone to Eddie Royal)
 
 
I already locked two games in for next weekend, getting a little antsy over here. Will most likely add some more towards the end of the week, we'll so how I'm feeling.
 
Philadelphia Eagles +7
Yes, I know it was the St. Louis defense but McNabb looked as comfortable as ever. The offense looks like it hasn't skipped a beat and has more of a "big play" capability than they did the past two seasons. Dallas to me, while a solid defense, still likely to give up the "big play" at some point. New York seemed to struggle last year at getting the big downfield play but somehow managed to sneak them past Dallas even in some of their regular season losses. This is a game Philadelphia can win, while I don't think they will, it will be a big test for Dallas to see how they come and play in a big game. Philadelphia defense looked really aggressive this weekend and I think they are up to the task of roughing up this potent offense.
 
Titans +1
With or without Vince Young I take Tennessee here. Cincinatti seriously looked like they could be one of the worst teams in football this year. Yeah they have weapons but Tennessee has a great defense that can stop potent offenses. When Cincinatti can't get a running game going, they don't do jack and they aren't gonna get it going this weekend!

getting them in earlier than usual this week but I like what i see

 

Houston Texans -4.5

Yeah, sure, Flacco looked good but look at the defense he was playing. 28 other NFL teams don't let him break off that 40 yard run. Cincinatti looked horrific and they were still in reaching distance.Flacco is going to meet a defense this Sunday. Houston didn't look great but it was Pittsburgh home opener and I really didn't anticipate them keeping it close. Houston offense will be on a mission to improve and Baltimore won't get much done.

 

Buffalo Bills +6

Jacksonville is so beat up on the offensive line I don't see how Buffalo doesn't dominate that aspect of the game. If Jacksonville ain't running the ball, it's gonna be a struggle for them to even win. Bills have a more balanced attack and man Trent Edwards does nothing but impress me every time I watch him play.

 

 

I'll probably lock in one more before the weekend, but ya never know, maybe more. Gonna try to get my head out of football for a day or two and come back Friday and see how the week has progressed.

I like all the plays except the Eagles. Dallas D is not the Rams D and Dallas Offense will move and score on Philly D. If Eagles were that good, the line wouldn't be at -7. Dallas win by double D again in this game IMO. But I love those other 3 plays.

locking in

 

Carolina Panthers -3

This game could be close but I think they will establish the run and I have more faith in Delhomme getting the job done at home than I do Orton. If Marvin Harrison doesn't fumble that ball in the second half, a rusty Colts team takes the lead and runs away with that game.

 

Denver Broncos -1

Cutler is out for avengeance this year. It started with Oakland but this is the game he has his eye on. Him and Rivers had at it last year and Cutler isn't sick anymore. Chargers are banged up and this home opener would be a good way to get there season off to a good start.

2-0-2 on the afternoon.

 

Not that bad. Kinda bummed about how Denver let their lead slip away but no action is better than a loss. Brings me to 6-1-2 on the season.  

 

C'mon and keep it close tommorow Philly.
