(461) Kansas City -4 @ (462) Jacksonville 1pm et
The Chiefs have a proven veteran quarterback, a solid offensive line, some nice skill players, and a defense stacked with top draft picks and Pro Bowlers. The Jaguars have Blaine Gabbert. And not only do they have Blaine Gabbert, but they have a Gabbert that has a broken thumb (on his throwing hand) and hasn't played in a couple weeks. Gabbert is terrible when he's 100 percent so how is he expected to perform being less than 100%? I will take the Chiefs skill players over the Jags skill players. And I will lay these points in a game that I see Kansas City winning by double-digits.
5* Kansas City -4 gets the Money.
(465) Miami @ (466) Cleveland-1 1pm et
Miami did not impress me at all this preseason and I an absolutely not on the bandwagon. I felt the Dolphins massively overachieved going 7-9 last season. The Dolphins got rid of their two best offensive players, Reggie Bush and Jake Long, and by getting rid of their best cornerback. I just don't know that Miami is a better team this season. But I am sure that Cleveland is a better team. The Browns are excited to start a season with Norv Turner at the offensive helm as he will try to open up the field a bit more. This in turn should make RB Trent Richardson an even better running back, and someone the Dolphins will struggle to contain. Cleveland finally wins a home opener!
5* Cleveland -1 is the play!
(471) Oakland @ (472) Indianapolis -9.5 1pm et
The Colt's are a much better team than the Oakland Raiders, a team that cannot get out of its own way at the moment. Oakland has decided to start Terrelle Pryor at quarterback and he might be just the guy that they have been looking for but he needs experience . I do not see him being very successful in his first start on the road in the dome. The Raiders are 2-8 in last 10 games on field turf. The Colt's had been last season a cover machine at home and I really do not see the Raiders getting in their way in this game. With no true play makers with the exception of the semi healthy Darren McFadden and no foundation in a quarterback, defense or offensive line I see the Raiders just getting rolled over in Indianapolis this weekend. The Colts have established a better line this year to protect 2nd year Quarterback Andrew Luck.
5* Colt's -9.5 is the pick!
(477) NYGiants @ (478) Dallas -3.5 8:30pm et
The Cowboys are going back to the 4-3 defense that they used to play under Landry and Johnson and Switzer. The Cowboys also have some of the best offensive players in the league. The Giants are banged up. Both of their receivers missed time in the preseason and running back Andre Brown broke his leg. The offensive line has also had some injuries. Dallas lost 4 straight at home to the Giants and I see them finally winning and snap the streak to their division foe. I have been to a few casinos on the strip and locally in Henderson and all have the line at -3.5. I would love the -3 but may not come until game day.
5* Dallas -3.5 or -3 is a safe wager.
(459) Tampa Bay @ (460) NYJets 40.5 1pm et
The New York Jets had its fair share of problems scoring last season with an average of 17.6 points a game, but this situation may have actually gotten worse this offseason and training camp with a complete fiasco of decision-making at the quarterback position. The bottom line is that a player that struggled against the better teams in the Big 12 last season will be leading the Jets’ offense on opening day as Geno Smith is getting the starting nod at quarterback. The total has stayed under in eight of Tampa Bay’s last 10 season openers and in four of New York’s last five games overall. I remember about 6 years ago openers in the NFL, the smart money always was on the under for the defense was stronger than offenses. It took teams a couple of games for QB's to get in rhythm with the offense. It certainly has not been that way now for a number of years now. We saw that last night up in Denver and we all were on the Over in a no brainer. However, the Jets and Tampa will not be a score fest thats for sure. Both will have better defenses on the field to keep the number under 40.5.
5* Under 40.5 is the total play for this weekend!
