week 2 is right around the corner and not much discussion so far....going to try and get this thread going earlier in the week from now on as it was very helpful imo to all a few years back when it first popped up.
home dogs
Titans +6 (v Balt)
Panthers +10 (v GB)
Colts +2.5 (v Clev)
49ers +3 (v Dal)
Dolphins +3 (v Hou)
Falcons +2.5 (v Phi)
Titans +6/38 - Not sure on a side in this one as Baltimore will surely be a favorite public play this week. Ravens are in a let down spot but are clearly the much better team on both sides of the ball. Titans also struggled stopping the run last week without much of a qb threat from Jacksonville. More attention must be paid to Flacco witch should only open things up even more for the ground game. Titans must establish a consistent running game to hang in this one and the total suggests a ground and pound game imo....low number (38) but under is my lean at the moment in this one
Panthers +10/46.5 - Really don't have much interest in playing this game as I have no idea what to expect out of Cam and the Panthers. Maybe a Green Bay 1H play or a GB TT is the better option. I don't see Carolina pulling an upset, but a back door is def. a possibility.
Colts +2.5/40 - Colts will be on my card this week as they are def. due for a bounce back. They walked into a perfect storm last week with Houston and got embarrassed. The Colts and Kerry Collins are not that bad of a team. Collins will continue to get better with more reps, there are too many offensive weapons on this team for them not too put up some points. Not sure what the Browns have done to warrant being a road fav. but I will gladly fade them against a team who would have been the favorite imo had Collins been with the team throughout camp.
49ers +3/42.5 - Niners needed a kickoff return and punt return to really blow this one open and make it look a lot worse than it actually was. I don't think they get as many breaks this week against Dallas who imo will bounce back after pissing one away against the Jets. Dallas is on B2B roadies but they have too much offensive fire power imo for SF.
Dolphins +3/48 - haven't had a chance to look into this one too much but initial lean is with the Phins. Still not sold on Houston's revamped secondary, as they weren't tested at all last week and expect a little of a let down for the Texans. In no way do I think Henne throws for another 400 yds but I do think he is capable of managing the game enough to win it at home.
Falcons +2.5/49.5 - Falcons are another home dog that will be on my card. One of the best home teams in the league against a team on B2B roadies. Falcons didn't really force the issue last week with the deep ball and I think that def. changes this week in what should be a high scoring affair. The Eagles have a lot to prove and a win in ATL would go along way imo, but I like the Falcons spot much more against two fairly evenly matched teams.
Also have strong lean on Detroit
