DR'S "5 STAR NFL PICK OF THE DAY"
Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans
It's upset city and take the TEXANS to cover and win outright and party in Houston with Kubiak's first big win!
This is a game our staff of experts liked intitally and it has grown steadily into a rare 5* selection! Initially we hesitated because the Texans are famous for their slow starts 1-5 SU & ATS the last six years. Still, there is a trend here in that when playing the Colts the last three times they lost by 4,6 and 3 (after leading by 13 at halftime. The Texans know they must start winning the close ones to contend for not only the playoffs, but the division title. Head coach Gary Kubiak is an offensive genius, who has taken Matt Shwaub and made him a pro bowl QB. They had the #4 ranked offensive in the NFL last year and are 8-3 ATS the spread as a home dog, and more importantly are 5-1 ATS as a home division doggie. I'm not sure why the NFL did this 9-7 team a disservice by awarding them the #1 most difficult schedule with "7" playoff teams and a overall winning record of 51.3 %! Just getting to the playoffs will be an accomplishment, but one they are still capable of!
Now Indy is in a funk, losing all four pre-season games, has some people banged up, and Peyton Manning is still unhappy about the rule change that is speeding up the game and taking away from his time at the line of scrimmage to read and dicet the defense. Factor in that for the first time ever in his NFL career he is performing behind an offensive line that is no longer coached by vetreran OL coach Mudd who retired. Add in the injuries to center Saturday, LT Johnson, as well as dependable back-up OT/OG Ugoh and you see some game slippage here. The Texans are very aware of just how close they are to breaking this jinx, and we predict that Kubiak and his DC will rely on the ever improved defensive line to take advantage of the mismatched Indianapolis OL to keep Manning out of his rhythm, while the #4 offense does it's thing with a healthy TE Daniels back in the fold.
When you add this 4* selction to our 5* NFL "PICK OF THE DAY" it sets a dangerous precedent for opening week parlay that may be hard to follow. The Green Bay Packers travel east to play the Philadelphia Eagles. A little known fact about pre-season is that the Pack ran "14" series in their first three exhibition games with their first team and only punted three times, having only one three and out! Pro Bowl QB Aaron Rodgers threw for 470 yards in limited action and completed 77% of his passes and scored 6 of 6 possessions. Can't get much better than that! Now that he has an established running back in Ryan Grant who has put together back to back 1200 yard rushing seasons, the pressure has been eased greatly from Rodger's arm to provide all the offense. More importantly he is playing behind a healthy and vastly improved offensive line, that got better with top draft pick of Bryan Buluga (Iowa). True the Packers have defensive secondary problems with CB Harris and SS Bigby out and Bigby replaced by a rookie. Still DC Dom Capers deliberately kept his pre-season defensive itinerary stripped down to hide the exotic blitzs he has become famous for and will hurl at first year Philly QB Kevin Kolb. The Packers have the top ranked rushing defense in the NFL and were #1 in turnover margin last year, so Kolb will have to successfully throw the football..
Coach Andy Reid woke up one morning and said I have to make some radical changes immmediately, and got rid of veteran QB Donovan McNabb (never truly appreciated here) and loved do it all purpose back Bryan Westbrook plus others. They now are banking on the inexperienced Kevin Kolb, only two starts, running back LeSean McCoy to replace Westbrook. Kolb is a rhythmn, quick, accuracy passer that in all probability will run a more traditional West Coast Offense. Meaning that there will more short routes and leaving the recievers chances to run and get yardage after the reception. This will be highly benefical to young, dynamic WR's DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. The Eagles have a very fast agressive defense that they will throw at the pack, and they really attempted to strengthen it with early draft picks.
This game could turn into a shootout, but for our money we'll go with the more experienced Rodgers who was 8-4 ATS as a favorite last year. Lay the spread and take the GREEN BAY PACKERS cover and WIN!
