3* TOTAL Of Week
Chicago / Atlanta under 49.5
The Bears are going to struggle to move the ball with Mike Glennon under center and a very weak receiving group. Bears coach John Fox is conservative to begin with and he'll be more conservative here against an improved and aggressive Falcons defense. That means a lot of running with Jordan Howard, which keeps the clock moving and slows tempo.
The Falcons rarely play on grass. That's not a plus for their high-speed offense. The Bears' defensive front seven is decent. Chicago is weak in the secondary. But this is a very high total especially given Chicago's limited firepower. The departure of guru offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan to the 49ers hurts Atlanta. The Falcons new offensive coordinator is Steve Sarkisian, who is new to the NFL. That sure doesn't seem like a fair tradeoff going from Shanahan to Sarkisian.

Cardinals vs Lions
2* Cardinals -125
The Lions were a bogus playoff team last season. The Cardinals should be much better after experiencing their first losing season in four years under Bruce Arians. Getting difference-makers wide receiver John Browns, safety Tyrann Mathieu and offensive tackle Jared Veldheer back from injury are huge for Arizona. Detroit has a weak defense - opponents completed a record 72.7 percent of their throws against the Lions last year - and a lackluster ground game. That's a bad combination. Matthew Stafford doesn't have a stud wide receiver like Calvin Johnson anymore to make the Lions feared offensively. The Lions can't beat good teams. Arizona is back to being a good team now that its properly motivated and has key players back healthy. David Johnson is the best all-purpose back in football. Carson Palmer remains dangerous when he has a clean pocket. That should be the case here with the Lions minus Kerry Hyder and Ziggy Ansah having to prove he's fully healthy. All my checkmarks go to the Cardinals - offense, defense and coaching. The Lions have lost the past seven times they've faced the Cardinals, including getting blown out, 42-17, two years ago at home.

5-Unit Play. Take Chicago Bears 'Over' 5.5 Wins (+115)
NFL Opening week card has 2 side plays from a 23-0 system and the Double system NFL Total of the Month. Football ranked #1 combined overall the last 3 seasons. NFL Comp play below.
The NFL Comp play is on Tennessee at 1:00 eastern. The Titans should be even more improved after wining 9 games last year. They have home loss revenge on Oakland who is in a terrible system that plays against week 1 dogs that were bounced in the 1st round of the playoffs last year if the total is 37.5 or more. Game 1 home favorites that had worse record than their opponent last season are 32-10 ats. The Titans have covered 4 of 5 as a home favorite of 3 or less and the favorite in this series has covered 8 of 9. The Raiders though better last year are still just 4-18 in the eastern time zone. Remember the Titans today. On Opening week NFL we have the Double system total of the Month, and 2 big 23-0 week 1 specific system plays along with Sunday night football and our teaser of the week. Combined football overall is ranked #1 over the last 3 years on top leader board. For the NFL free pick. Play on Tennessee. GC
