New York Giants +3 (EVEN) over New Orleans Saints

This is the match up of the week, and I expect both teams to be focused. This will also be the first real test for both these teams. The Giants have a cupcake schedule so far, with their only real challenge coming from Dallas. They easily won that game. The Saints beat the Jets with a rookie QB and Philly without McNabb. Two good, but untested teams... I'm taking the points. Expect the Giants to be able to get it done on both sides of the ball, and the Saints to have a little trouble against a good defense (like the problems they had vs the Jets).

Atlanta Falcons -3½ (+105) over Chicago Bears

Atlanta surprised me last week. Their offense is complete and their defensive play was better than expected. The Bears are coming off a bye, and will be ready to fight, but their defense just isn't as good as it was in the past. They will need their offense to pick up the slack, and I don't see that happening.

St. Louis Rams +10 (-120) over Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jags have the better record, but they haven't had a quality win yet this year. In fact they get their asses kicked by any decent team. Only 1 of their 2 wins came by 10 points or more. The Rams on the other hand are winless verse a much tougher schedule. I don't expect them to win this week, but 10 points are too many.

I might be back with more later. I also have a strong lean for Monday Night. Still deciding on a play...

I know that these picks might seem a little strange with 2 sides and totals on 2 games. But I think they're quality bets with value, so I'm on them. I'm also have a few leans that I'm not ready to pull the trigger on yet. I might by Sunday.

Houston Texans +5½ over Arizona Cardinals

The Cards are at home coming off a bye, which would normally mean trouble, but there is too much value in this line to pass. Zona can't seem to shake the Super Bowl hangover, and they're 0-2 at home this year. I'll take the points on this side.

Houston Texans/Arizona Cardinals OVER 50

Neither team is very strong on defense. The Texans have a lot of offensive weapons and the Cards are always good to score a few points.

San Francisco 49ers -3 (-105) over Atlanta Falcons

San Fran is at home and going into a bye. They're defense is good and should give the Falcons plenty of problems. Missing Frank Gore shouldn't be much of a problem.

Atlanta Falcons/San Francisco 49ers UNDER 41

Again, San Fran's defense is good and Frank Gore is out.

Indianapolis Colts -4 over Tennessee Titans

Indy's headed into a bye and should be focused this week. The Titans should be close to giving up.

2-3 last week, 6-5 so far for the season. Remember it's a marathon, not a sprint. The goal is to win money over the course of the season. There will be some good and some bad weeks along the way.

New York Jets/New Orleans Saints UNDER 45 (-110)

Jets have a great defense. The Saints sat on their lead last week. The public is all over the OVER in this game, but the line has dropped from 48 to 45. The smart (and big) money is on the under.

Detroit Lions +10 (-110) over Chicago Bears

The Lions won a game last week! And the Skins aren't that bad a team. I see the Bears winning this week, but I think it will be closer than 10. Chicago hasn't won a game by more than 10 this year, and struggled last week against the Seahawks who had a lot of injuries. The Bears are also banged up on defense and Kevin Smith will play.

Baltimore Ravens +1½ (-110) over New England Patriots

The Pats only lost this season has come against a good defense. Baltimore is known of their defense. They can and will blitz all day and keep Brady out of the pocket and off balance. Also the Ravens currently have the best offense in the AFC.

Monday Night Football Play! (my first of the season)

Minnesota Vikings -3½ (-110) over Green Bay Packers

At home against his old team, expect Farve to win. The student (Rogers) does not become the mentor (Farve) this game. I don't like the extra 1/2 point over 3, but I'll take it since I still see value in this line.

That's all for now. I'll probably have a few plays tomorrow.

Cincinnati Bengals +4 (-115) over Pittsburgh Steelers

Cincy has an offense. Pitt has key defensive injuries. Pitt's offense has looked slow this season, and has gone 1-1 in 2 close games. The public loves to back the Super Bowl winner's, but the line has moved against them. Cincy is at home and getting points.

New York Jets -3 (+125) over Tennessee Titans

Everyone loved betting the Jets last week as home dogs, but for some reason the 0-2 Titans are getting love this week. I don't think they should be. The Titans haven't looked good in either of their games this year. They've currently given up the most pass yards in the league, and the Jets defense shouldn't have a tough time shutting them down. This game looks too easy, and hopefully it will be.

Already on:
Buffalo Bills +6 (-105) over New Orleans Saints
St. Louis Rams +7 (-125) over Green Bay Packers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers/New York Giants OVER 44

All lines are from BoDog.

All my lines all season are from BoDog. Sometimes you might get different lines than I have, but BoDog has good lines that can be found almost universally online and in Vegas.

So far I've only had 3 bets each week. Well, it's still early in the season. I don't really like picking a lot of games until week 5. Now more bets:

Buffalo Bills +6 (-105) over New Orleans Saints

This is an interesting home dog. The Bills are 1-1 (and could easily be 2-0). The Saints are on the road for their second week, and this is their first real test of the year. This line has value. The public loves the Saints, even though they haven't faced a good team yet this year. They killed the Lions and then beat Philly without McNabb. 6 points is too much to give the Bills at home.

St. Louis Rams +7 (-125) over Green Bay Packers

Another interesting home dog. The public hates the Rams, but a lot of money has been placed on them. The Rams are underrated in this spot. This is their home opener. They haven't been able to get a lot going on offense, but expect that to change this week against the Packers' weaker defense. It's no secret that Green Bay's O-line is terrible. St. Louis has played decent defense so far this year. There is value in this line.

I'm already on:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers/New York Giants OVER 44

That's all for today. I might have some more for tomorrow. (watching the news out of NE.)

2009 Season Record: 4-2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers/New York Giants OVER 44

Both these teams can put up points. TB is a running team, and the Giants have had problems stopping the run. The Giants also just lost their strong safety (out for the year). TB hasn't won a game this year, and gave up 34 and 33 points so far this year. My money is on the over.

It's the week of the home dog with at 7 lines favoring away teams. I'm still looking at games, and I'll have more bets later in the week.

YTD record: 4-2
