Sunday NFL action - week two

[bengaldoug]

0-1 (-105) after last week's teaser went down in flames.

1) Carolina -2.5 (-115) --- Lions looked great on MNF, but their history says they often follow a boom with a bust. Cam's back to start, and Benjamin looks like the real thing at receiver. Carolina still plays rock ribbed defense.

2) Jacksonville +6(-110) --- Washington shouldn't be favored by 6 over anyone.

3) Bengals -5.5(-110) --- Bengals home opener. Remember the Bengals were 8-0 last year both SU and ATS. Falcons coming off the big win over Saints, looking ahead to divisional Thursday nighter vs Tampa Bay. Good situation for Bengals.

4) San Diego +5.5(-110) --- Fading the champs? Way too many points to give a good team at home. Chargers should have won at Arizona, who was the last team to beat the Seahawks at home. Seattle, while awesome at home, is not invincible on the road.

5) Two game six point teaser (-105): Leg one Packers -2.5 to leg two 49ers -1.5.....both teams in home openers just asked to win rather than cover large spreads....

Ugh, I don't like any of those lines.

What's the Tennessee game line?

is the pats/vikes line still ''off''....?,....*no Adrian, i'll take the pats [-3.5] on my weekly pool*.

"Way too many points to give a good team at home. Chargers should have won at Arizona, who was the last team to beat the Seahawks at home. Seattle, while awesome at home, is not invincible on the road."

It could be argued that way because of the botched snap by SD, but The Cards had more rushing yds, more passing yds, more first downs, better third down conversion percentage, considerably more total yardage. As far as the fluke factor that evens out on the fact that the Cards defense had a game changing INT called back on a questionable call in the 4th quarter. Az and SD are both similarly good teams, but neither one is anywhere near the Seahawks ballpark imo . That Seattle team looks dominant across the board. I also don't like the matchup of a (great but) immobile QB and big possession WRs against the Seahawks D. That sounds like the SB to me

So in other words bet the Chargers because I'm usually wrong on these things

Titans are favored by 3.5 right now. Opened at 4.5, and then Cowboys have been getting action moving the line down.

 

[bengaldoug]

San Diego down to +3.5
Washington down to +5.5

If you didn't get down on SD at +5.5 and Jac +6 shame on you.......

Pats moved to -6 on the overreaction to the AP news....has been bet back down to -4.....

Bengals can not finish an opponent off, they always keep the other team just within a TD of tying or something.

wouldn't ever take them with 5.5

They covered all eight at home last year, including some higher lines, so........................

 

[futballiscool]

San Diego down to +3.5
Washington down to +5.5

I'll willingly man up when/if I'm wrong! It's too early in the year for me to bet against the Seahawks. You're not going to catch them in a trap game in week 2. Plus SD is on a short week and Seattle had a full 10 days to prepare.

I like SD. They have a borderline elite QB and their defense upgraded its pass rush and secondary in the offseason. But just not against Seattle

 

[bengaldoug]

Early games:

Carolina -2.5(-115) easy winner 24-7 W100
Jac +6(-110) horrible loser41-10 RGIII's injury best thing that could've happened for the skins L110
Bengals -5.5(-110) easy winner 24-10 W100

so far for the day 2-1 +90

 

[futballiscool]

bet the Chargers

I called this!

 

[bengaldoug]

I called this!

LOL.......still to early to celebrate, but I would rather have the 5.5 than be laying it right now.....


On another front: Packers, WTF????

It's early in the season, in the games etc but I might have overrated how impressive Sea looked in week 1 based on the opponent (who I thought was good).

Rivers is carving up the Seattle defense like no other QB has been able to in years

I have Rodgers in a FF league so at least he'll be slinging in the 2nd half

They were at home too, where they are nearly unbeatable.

 

[bengaldoug]

San Diego +5.5 wins straight up 30-21 +100
Green Bay covers the first leg of the teaser 31-24

 

[bengaldoug]

As of the 4 oclock games:

Bengals -5.5 W
Jac +6 L
Carolina -2.5 W
Chargers +5.5 W

3-1 so far +190

Second half of teaser SF -1.5 pending

 

[bengaldoug]

In retrospect, it was well worth seeing the Niners choke to lose my teaser

Day:3-2 +85

YTD: 3-3 (-20)
