There are sum good dogs this week, trick is finding the right ones. I'm locked on 2 but might even hit another tomorrow. These I doubt are popular plays but matters not to me.
49ers come in as banged up as anyone, mostly on defense, Verrett, Greenlaw, out, and several others questionable, RB Raheem Mostert out for the year. The Eagles on the other hand, healthy. I'm big on the linesand PHI has 2 good ones. Their DL gets after you, ask Matt Ryan and even last year Nick Mullins of these same 9ers, sacked 6 times in an Eagles win. 9ers needed help upfront and brought in veteran center Alex Mack but he's 35 and on the back end of his career. Otherwise the same unit who had struggles last season. The Eagles O-line healthy, experienced, and deep. Add in a much improved dual threat Jalen Hurts, in particular with his passing, and the 9ers defense will be greatly tested.
Iggles are 5-0 ATS last 5 as a home dog and 7-2 ATSlast 9 vs SF. I'll gladly take the 3 points in what I believe will be a S/U win for "Vince Papales" Boyz.
IGGLES +3
One more to come, even less popular than that one, be back in a few

TENN along with GB the 2 most disappointing performances last week. But know they're alot better than what we saw. TENN travels to SEA, one of, if not, the most challenging stadium to play in for visitors. TENN struggled against Kyler and company and now Russell Wilson? Should be an ez win for SEA, right? Yea,..no don't think so. TENN got hit by Covid and I really believe that affected their preparation for a good AZ team. Now they're past it and should be much better prepared for this game. Plus, Chandler Jones doesn't play for SEA. Respect for Taylor Lewan who took his ass whipping like a man. The Titans O line is good, ask Derrick Henry, and they, along with Lewan, will bounce back and TENN will play their game tomorrow. Henry will run, run, run, and Tannehill will make plays with both legs and arm. And out of the TENN doghouse there will be a Julio Jones sighting with something to prove to his new teammates as well. Titans defense won't stop Russell, with Jim Schwartz assisting, their defense will get better. Just make a couple stops, let your offense do their thing, and avoid the big plays, unlike INDY last week and I think Tannehill and company may even pull off the upset. Good teams bounce back especially after embarrassing losses. Titans fans, TENN is 7-0 S/U last 7 coming off a DD loss, 4 of those wins OTR.

TITANS +7, -120
As always good luck to all!

I remember in 2007 MNF, bunch of gamblers in my office, mortgage brokers, all doing well. Cowboys were like 2 TD favs @ a bad Buffalo team. Told them I was taking the points and the Cowboys better not look past the lowly Bills. Everyone of them, 8 of them I think, bet me, gave me the points. I didn't know these guys as well as they knew each other, they were talking smack about me. Well, Nick Folk kicked a 53 yard FG as time expired, Cowboys won, 25-24. They never offered up a bet again. Won almost $1,000 off them. And won their respect too

I want to discourage you from any Tennessee ML action but anything is possible and I don’t want to try to chase you away from what could be a win.
so I will just offer this:
Pete Carroll has never lost a Home Opener in Seattle (12 in a row) and Seattle is currently 17 of 19. I also think Seattle’s defense is going to surprise a lot of people. Aside from their corners (which are legit question marks) they have All-Pro and Pro Bowl strength in the middle (Wagner, Adams, Diggs) and a young group of names that are primed to emerge this year. Blair, Taylor, Brooks.
As for the D Line-check out the Pro Football Focus grades for their DLinemen last week against an Oline that is probably rated higher than Tennessee’s. They have no known elite players on that D Line but I will predict that defense sees a minimum of 4 guys with a minimum of 5 sacks this year. And I would lean over.
All that said, it’s never an awful wager to take a team playing against Seattle getting a touchdown. They have a history of winning and losing games within 7. Much will depend on who has the lead and dictates the tempo, I think.
I don’t think Tennessee’s defense will give them an opportunity to win, however.
FTR I think Tennessee won’t win more than 9 games and do believe Seattle will win the West.
I DO like your Philly pick. I also like Panthers and for some damn reason the Vikings on Money Line as well.
