cashducats week 1 nfl picks 0-0

[cashducats]

my 1st play of this year will be the same as my last play of last year....

carolina -3 -125 (2 units)

1. after a team wins a super bowl its really hard to comeback the next year with the same fire. to add to that, broncos lose their top 2 qbs. yes peyton sucked last year but i think his intangibles won that super bowl last year. broncos have no intangibles this year from their leaders.

2. revenge factor for carolina. there were basically 3 plays that lost the superbowl last year. the tolbert fumble, the cam fumble, and the punt return by denver. just find it hard to imagine the panthers shitting the bed that bad again. all they had to do in the superbowl last year was score 17 points and they would have won rather easily. good win by broncos last yr but i'm betting it doesn't happen again.

3. clear qb advantage to panthers and in today's nfl that decides the winner on most games. this time i think trevor will be the one with the turnovers, not cam.

What do you mean by "Peyton's intangibles won them the Super Bowl" last year??? No the Denver D, huh?

They had that same d when osweiler was qb and I believe that osweiler had better stats and a stronger arm than Peyton. Difference was Peyton inspired confidence in his teammates, they prob tried harder for him.

lions +3.5

1. two teams that i see as basically equal, except that indy has some injury problems to start the year

2. road game in a dome is good for detroit

3. stafford under the cooter dude seems to be pretty good afterall.

4. calvin johnson is gone but i think sometimes the old superstar leaving can be good for a qb, now he doesnt have to force the ball, he can go to whoever is open. also, i noted this last year on the monday night game against the seahawks, but what memorable play in a crucial situation did calvin johnson ever make? i know i saw him fumble a ball after a td against the bears because he was in a hurry to celebrate and i know that he fumbled going into the endzone against the seahawks monday night. those are the two plays i remember. the rest of his great plays are just stat fillers, basically football's version of craig biggio.

5. lions lost alot of close games last year, and finished really strong. outside of luck and hilton (i guess) do they have any decent players? hilton is known to drop his share of balls too.

6. mad i didn't do this when the line was 4 but the reverse line movement along with most people lined up to take the colts i think this is a good bet.

Good luck tonight!!!

Bengals -1

1. fitzpatrick. i believe he will go back to being fitzpatrick. last yr was an outlier year for him. also the off season holdout may have messed up the delicate chemistry that was there.
2. brandon marshall. he had his good year at a new team, which is typical of diva wr. now its time for him to go back tobeing who he is, a locker room cancer.
3. alot being made of hue jackson not being with the bengals anymore. he was only oc for 1 year, bengals were fine before he got there and will be fine now that he's gone.
4. bengals were talented enough to essentially beat the steelers in a playoff game last year with their backup qb. steelers should have beat the broncos. i know this type of reasoning is not a good capping procedure but i'm just trying to say the bengals are really talented and losing sanu and jones at wr is not big deal. also eiffert being out is nothign new. this guy is constantly injured.
5. the red rifle gets alot of grief for the postseason meltdowns, but you can't argue with his reg season results the past 3 years.
6. short road faves are a bad bet, or so we are told by the message boards and gambling experts. its a square play. but according to the results gametime9000 posted in his thread a few days ago, its about a 50-50 win/lose (last yr).

forgot to mention both teams play division games next week, but jets play rex ryan's bills on thursday night. there's got to be a little peek ahead for them, moreso than the bengals

chargers +6.5
1. divsional game, chargers 1st game of season before all the injuries inevitably set in. i think they can keep it close with chance to win. 1 score game.
2. kc is a solid team, no doubt, but i see it as a fg game either way.
3. sd is probably the most under the radar team in the afc along with tenn. i havent heard any national pundits talk about them.
4. just think there is value in this line, especially 1st game of the yr. could be a survivor pool killer for many

I am on two of your bets (and had an OVER on SD team total, so also feeling good about them today).

I suspect (and very much hope) you cash in today.
