I don't usually do this, but I really like a couple games today:
Austin +10 @ Orl -- Austin may be an expansion team, but they have some savvy vets (QB-Kaleo from champion TB passing to a pair of experienced receivers-WR/DB Charlie Davidson and WR/LB Darryl Hammond plus they have outstanding pass rusher, Tom briggs playing along side two other vets, Lucas Yarnell and Tony Bowick). They are up against a good team, but one with a rookie QB (Joey Hamilton). Austin has also had an extra week to prepare and last week's film to study.
I also like Georgia +13 at TB. TB lost a bunch of talent--QB John Kaleo and pair of starting DSs, and also lost 2 very good OL/DLmen, B.J. Cohen and Al Lucas. TB won its opener against Orlando, who was playing with a rookie QB-Joey Hamilton, but new TB QB-Stafford was only 50% on his passes. Georgia returns most of its key players to a defense that was #1 in total defense and #3 in scoring defense last year. My only fear here is that Georgia QB-Leon Murray is mistake-prone. TB was notorious for building up big leads and then relaxing last year. I wouldn't be surprised if Georgia won outright if Murray avoids ints.
I won big-time last year, but I lost overall week #1, so beware. Do your own capping. Good luck.
