Dallas -3 (-120): Great value on a team that should have won last night. This is a team that was up 14 in the 4th quarter and failed to win, largely because Mark Sanchez, despite his shitty appearance, does suffer from back against the wall syndrome, and can play when needed. What we get in week 2 is a Dallas opponent with an offence probably a bit less capable than NYJ, and a defence nowhere near as good. With both Austin and Bryant, along with Felix Jones who should have a much better day, Romo is equipped with some serious weapons, along with the pressure of getting a win before this season spirals out of control like the last. Risking 4.8 units to win 4.
Detroit -2/Saskatchewan -1 Teaser (-110): I picked on the Chiefs last week with a big dog, and I think this week could actually be worse. If I wasn't such a box I would take both these games strait up, because they both present great matchups. Detroit presents a formidable defensive line with some serious beasts that will do a great job of controlling the line of scrimmage and help limit the KC running game. After that, KC doesn't have much else, they are injured, and have a secondary that is already bad w/o Berry being out for the year. Things just get worse, and Matt Stafford IMO is a top 5 QB in the NFL. In the other game, you get a Toronto team that is featuring a QB who is likely still in preseason mode, learning the offence, and how to make chicken soup out of chicken shit. As some talked about earlier this year, Sasky was going to be great value once they got themselves healthy. Not only did they do that, but they get the ol' boy Ken Miller back to rejuvinate this team. Saskatchewan can beat anyone right now, they are the best in the league. Risking 3.3 to win 3.

Also, thanks for your opinions... I am with you on most of your picks, although I'm considering putting a unit on Tampa Bay. Hard for me to back Mr. Chunky Soup.

Good luck with your teaser, it looks good!

Saskatchewan -7 (-110): Can't help take it, after seeing Jyles... I don't think he can make enough progress in one week to make a big dif. Risking 1.1 to win 1.
Oakland +4 (-110): Overreaction on Buffalo, this line is way too high in a match that should be a toss up. Furthermore, while I argued last week that Buffalo's run defence was better, I don't think it's good enough to stop McFadden for an entire game. Meanwhile, despite losing their top CB in free agency, Oakland still has a decent pass d. Their weakness is the run d, but Buffalo has a below average run game. Risking 1.1 to win 1.
British Columbia +5 (-110): Probably a bit of a homer pick, but the Lions are coming on strong and have a recent history of faring well against Calgary, having won both games in Calgary last year and coming very close early this season. Risking 1.1 to win 1.
Edmonton +5.5 (-110): Take out the hail mary last week and Edmonton only loses by 3, a week after beating Calgary in their own building. Now they get another week to get Stamps back into the lineup, I think they could win this game outright, and the 5.5 points baffles me. Risking 1.65 to win 1.5.

Green Bay -3/Saskatchewan -0.5 teaser (-130): Risking 1.3 to win 1.
Andrew Harris UNDER 50.5 yards rushing (-115): I figure he only gets 8-10 carries against one of the stingiest run defences in the league. This means he will need to average over 5 yards per carry to even have a shot at the over. I don't think so, he's not that good. Risking 1.15 to win 1.

2nd Half Saskatchewan -6 (-110): This will be an easy defensive adjustment for Sasky, as Toronto is doing the same thing each play, with the QB spying the defensive ends and then deciding to hand it off or keep it. Offensively, Durant showed a lot in the quick drive that ended in a TD, Sasky will come out strong in the 2nd half, even with Fantuz injured. Risking 2.2 to win 2.
