I'm going to try my hand at sharing my picks with my Rx breathren this season. If it gets ugly, I'll return to other people's threads. I will go with units because sometimes I will buy half points. I'll solidify my wagers later. Right now, early observations (leans).
Chiefs/Pats= Not loving it, but if it gets to 9.5 or 10, I'll take a shot with Chiefs. I think scores will be earned in this one. If Brady leads the Pats up and down the field, then I will have been wrong.
Jets/Bills= I see two pretty bad teams. Bills would be better with Tyrod. This is a snoozer where Jets could hang around +9
Falcons/ Bears= Road game, but hungry Falcons should bury Bears.
Houston/Jags= Love this one. JJ Watt back. DeAndre has just been locked into a contract... and don't forget Texans were in the playoffs. Bring in the hurricane recovery angle and you have a lot going in Texans' favor. Jags just don't look like they've turned it around yet.
Rams/Colts= Opening on the road with no Luck seems like an exercise in futility for Colts. Continued problems with the running game. Rams' D should be solid at home. Get a healthy Todd Gurley going and let young Jared get on his game. They should cover by at least a FG.
Pack/Seahawks= Under the number. Could be a shootout, but I see the defenses stepping up in this one. Neither team has great running game. Both D's will put pressure.
Chargers/Broncos= I like Chargers getting points here. Chargers lost a lot of close ones last year. That should have them focused. Phillip Rivers is still good. The running game and defense are pretty good. Broncos offense should be struggling. Chargers and the points.
Back later in the week with picks and units. Thanks for visiting my thread.
