I honestly think one of the best bets of the entire season might be under 39.5 week one between Giants and Skins no way these two offenses score 40 points against a decent defense, let alone two of the best in the NFL. By the time they play a second time this total will be set about a TD lower
There is no way this game is going over 31 points.. neither team has a passing attack they are both run first. The teams both know each other, and they are both built on defense. The Skins already had a top 5 D and they added one of the best defensive players in the league with Haynesworth. Same with Giants, who now get Umenyora back too. The Skins couldnt even score a point in their preseason game this game has 14-6 or 17-10 written all over it
Miami Dolphins under 7.5 wins
Reasons why:
1. Hardest schedule in the NFL
2. Last year they won 11 games because nobody and I mean nobody got hurt. Will that happen again - Doubt it.
3. Defensive coordinators had all summer to look out how they can stop the wildcat and trust me it will not be as effective as last year.
4. They have the potential to start 0-3 which will cause some controversy and damage any chemistry from last year.
5. They don't have that great of talent especially at WR.

Money, I agree Miami is weak, however that line is 7 even in most places, not 7.5.
All good points though and you didn't even mention the fact CPennington has never put it together for two years straight in his career. I think Miami probably goes 7-9 or 6-10.
Mid, I take it your on Wash +6 if you don't think NYG can do much offensively. I am on Wash +6 because I think it will be a low scoring, competitive division game. Think the line should be like 4 or 4.5...

I would lean to Skins plus 6 however Campbell has shown nothing at QB and they dropped both games against the Gints last season. I agree that the line should probably be closer to 3 or 4 though for some reason I really see some struggles with NY this season while the Skins will win some games solely due to how good their D is.. probably will just stick to the under.
As for an actual future bet on wins, I love the Eagles over, as well as the Browns under and Broncos under

I think losing Jim Johnson and Brian Dawkins on D will hurt the Eagles a lot. Especially JJ, ask anyone around the NFL what he meant to that D and he would say a lot. His blitzes were so ballsy and timely, gonna be tough to replace that. Their D has never been the most overwhelming unit talent wise but his scheme has always helped them a ton....
Oh, good bet money..You really gotta get a lot of these totals before the lines move for the worst.
Adding another one and you can tell me I'm biased for this all you want but NE over 11.5 wins at even money I just got on MB....
The schedule is not bad at all, @Indy is the only tough road game really. 2nd toughest road game is probably @NO and their D is lacking. @TB isn't even a real road game cause its in London, @NYJ week 2 they're starting a rookie QB, @Hou week 17 looks frisky but the game will probably be meaningless.
Car, Balt, Tenn, ATL are probably the next 4 toughest opponents on the schedule after Indy and all those games are at home where NE will likely be between 7 and 10.5pt favs...
NE won 11 last year w/ the water boy at QB and now gets Brady back, Mayo/Meriweather a year older, added Bodden, Springs, Burgess, Galloway and Fragile Fred as well as some solid young draft picks. Went 18-1 last time they had Brady and his weapons intact and that was vs a much tougher schedule than this years (Had to play SD, Pitt, @Dal, @NYG, @Indy that year, pretty much all of the best teams in the NFL)

Yeah I agree top 4 teams in the NFL are in the AFC. -3 seems like very good value, might have to get on that...NE added some nice parts, Pitt/indy/SD all lost nobody..
All the NFC teams got issues NYG (weak WRs), Dallas (lost TO), Phi (lost JJ/Dawkins), Cards (um they're the Cards), Vikes (who knows w/ Favre)
