CoolCam's Week 1 NFL plays (2011: 30-26-3)

[CoolCam]

Jets -2.5 > Bills

The Bills are getting way too much hype due to signing Mario Williams.
I believe they are still a sub-par team with a bad run defense.
Jets secondary should give Fitz some problems.


Patriots -6 @ Titans

High powered Pats offense giving less than a TD?
Too good to pass up


Packers -5 > 49'ers

I think the Packers are just a much better team here.
49'ers played way higher than expectations last year. I think they come back down to earth with a decisive loss @ Lambeau field. I don't see them keeping pace with the Packers offense.

Ravens -6 > Bengals

AFC North favorites taking on a questionable Bengals team @home.
Ravens won by a TD+ both times last season. I don't see a reason to stop riding the gravy train now.


Chargers @ Raiders

I feel like the chargers underperformed last season and I expect a bounce back this year. Rivers is an elite QB surrounded with very good weapons to throw too.
I think they should be favored against what I think will be a mediocre Raiders team with an aging Palmer at the helm.


Vikings -4 > Jags

Vikings had a terrible season last year, but are still a dangerous team.
I think that is more than can be said for the Jags.

Adding:

Seahawks -2.5 @ Cardinals

I think the Hawks have an edge here.
Smashmouth running game with Marshawn lynch should do work on Cards defense.
Russell Wilson is also supposed to be pretty good.
I think the cards will have a rougher time moving the ball. Skelton is pretty much garbage. Sub 70 QB rating last year

 

[CoolCam]

Dangerously close to an awesome 6-1 week..
A couple last minute disasters in the Viking and Seahawk games prevented that.

I'm feeling really good about my initial reads on these teams.

4-3 week. We'll take it. (4-3 2012 season)(34-29-3 lifetime)
