Packers +3

Dolphins -13.5

49ers -11.5

Rams +1

Chiefs -2.5

GL everyone with your picks!

Card looks ugly but let’s see what happens

bills - 8 1/2 looking for bills to play better and throttle the pats.  Pats seem to have give up, receivers can’t get separation and offensive line banged up.

bears+3 going with bagent here hopefully he doesn’t turn the ball over raiders shouldn’t be giving 3 to anyone on the road.  Bears have been competitive last 3 games.

giants+3 Taylor is capable of moving the offense and making good decisions.  Commanders will make a mistake or two in this game and giants d will play well.

ravens -3 they play well at home and with the conditions of the game being windy it favors Baltimore.  Lamar will have a solid game and win by a td.

chargers +5.5 they always play the chiefs tough they need this game much more than the chiefs.  Game will be back and forth give me the points here.  

gl everyone with your picks 

Defense I think you’re on to something spread went from 6.5 to 6 but seems like a lot of people are on the dolphins.  Russell has actually played decent the last 2 games.  Defense has let them down should play better tomorrow.  Denver could be 2-0 and this spread would be closer to -3.5 I like the value with Denver.  Denver has a chance to win outright I have them in the circa GL with your pick! 

GL Van,

I got Broncos in the Circa as well, if that's what you went for.  Like your picks stayed away from Giants, but they should roll by at least 10. 

Good luck Vanzack, i look at your posts for NFL, i'm in the Circa millions and survivor as well.  We have 3 a like in the millions, so hopefully we have a good week.  Good Luck!

 Be careful tonight with them, I'm a UMass fan.  They haven't been the same with out Fernandes they're best player and point guard.  Their backup PG might be out as well.  I am not sure if either are playing tonight, however Loyola has been terrible.  I would wait to see if they are playing, they usually post their starting lineup (Umass twitter page) with about 30 mins before tip off.  If Fernandes plays though it seems like a good play.

@roberob2u

 good call on fading...  Estes one of the better cappers on here thanks for the pick!

Hello everyone, trying to make some picks here  GL as always!

Cardinals +3.5 - I think they have a shot to win the game outright, offense is playing better with Hopkins in the lineup.  Defense blitz a decent amount and Cousins is not at his best under pressure.

Cowboys -9 - Cowboys are a lot better on both sides of the ball.  Chicago is still one of the worst teams in the league.  Fields will be pressured all day!

Pats -2 1/2 - Pats will play better than Monday night.  Jets offense won't get much going on sunday, belichick will make adjustments on defense.

Commanders +3 - Better team overall, give me the points.  Heinecke will play just enough plays to win outright.

Texans +2 1/2 - The line looks fishy, i'll go the other way from the public and Texans will play well enough to get one of their few wins of the season.

Comments welcome

Umass -4 tonight

GL as always

First play of season 

UVA/Pitt under 116

I agree with your statement they both suck, but i could care less about the trend here.  Most of those years Pittsburgh was one of the best AFC teams, while Cleveland was one of the worst franchises in the league.  Browns probably have more talent overall this year and this will be a tight game the whole way.  Either team won't be able to pull away from one another.   Also, Minnesota had no chance of winning last night, maybe covering the spread, but not outright.  GL in your bet tonight, if Cleveland gets to 3 and the hook, i'll be on CLE.

3-2 last week

Pats -1.5 - I see a lot of people on the Bills this week, maybe i'm wrong but i just don't trust Allen in a big game for the division.  Pats win a close one

Chargers -10.5 - I know they have some Covid issues, but they're still a lot better than the Texans and they need to keep up in the playoff race.

Bengals -7 - Josh Johnson will struggle in this game, Burrow will be able to throw the ball a little down the field against this depleted defense.

Falcons -6.5 - Tim Boyle is terrible, i think Atlanta will do just enough to win by 7-10 points.

GL as well

4-1 last week,

Saints -5  Saints should be able to run the ball well against the Jets.  Jets top 2 WR could both be out, if that's the case how will they score.  Saints should win by a TD or more.

Browns -2.5 Not a big fan of them, but the scheduling spot they have been put in can't be ignored.  A bye week and then playing the Ravens again, Baker should be a little healthier off the bye and the Ravens are overrated.  Browns should win at home and i am picking the better defense here.

Broncos -10 Their offense isn't great, but they should be able to put up 21-24 pts at home.  Their defense is still above average and the Lions have no one available on offense, no hockenson, williams or swift.  Who are they going to rely on, they are going to struggle to score 14.  Broncos should win by DD here.

Giants +10 I'm a little nervous about this pick, but other than last week the Chargers don't usually blow teams out.  The giants are getting a few more WR back this week, i think they can keep this close to single digits and make this close in the 4th.

Bills +3.5 I think this game will be back and forth, Bucs secondary is weak and Allen should be able to exploit it.  I think this is a 3 pt game either way, give me the hook and the overall better defense in this game.

GL as always

Good call on Pitt 

I don’t understand why people are suddenly on Pitt they have been pretty bad all year just getting by.  They too could of lost to the lions.  Minnesota is the better overall team, Big Ben is a below average qb.  Sure Pitt could win but highly unlikely given that Minnesota is getting some of their defense guys back.  Minnesota beat GB earlier in the year who has Pitt beat??

GL

4-0 so far let’s sweep it go broncos!

3-2 last week.

dolphins -4 got it before the Jones news.  Their defense is playing great and tua is improving.  Can’t see Glennon going on the road and winning the game.  Dolphins by a td or more.

lions +7 - Vikings have some key losses on the defensive side of the ball I think they just try to get out of here with a 3 pt win.  Williams will have a good game running the ball.  I see 21-17 type of game.

bucs -11 -  falcons are terrible, Ryan will be pressured the whole game.  Brady will make some plays and win by 14 or more.

The football team +2 gut feeling about this game.  Washington defense has played better recently and their offense should be able to move the ball.  I see Carr making a mistake or two and football team continue their streak.

broncos+10 - disclaimer I don’t think Broncos will win this game I just think this way too many points for a division game.  They are pricing this game like the Broncos are a bad team and the chiefs are elite.  This spread shouldn’t be more than 7 and that be a little high reminds me of the colts bills a few weeks ago and I got caught in the trap, not this time.

gl as always 

1-4 last week terrible, hoping to turn it around this week

Bills -5.5 - I still believe there a good team overall, should bounce back this week!  Saints offense is limited with Sieman and still no Kamara.

Giants + 3.5 - I don't think Eagles are much better than the Giants, give me the home underdog and Jones should be able to play better.

Vikings + 3 - Evenly matched teams here, Vikings might be a little better and playing solid.  Give me the points here

Rams pk - They have the better defense overall, and Rodgers has the toe injury.  I don't think the Rams will lose 3 in a row.

Football team -1 - I think Seattle is done after last week, Wilson still looks hurt and the Football team have been playing better lately.

GL as always!

9-6 last 3 weeks, hoping to improve on it.

Bills -7, line does seem high, but if Colts aren't able to establish the run game.  Bills will win by more than 10, you can't rely on Carson Wentz alone.

Ravens -4.5 - Ravens should be able to bounce back, Bears have some key injuries and i don't think Fields can keep up.

Saints +2 - I see Saints stopping Eagles run attack and i think Sieman can come away with enough key throws to win a close one.

Dolphins -3 - Don't like this pick as much, but Dolphins are playing better as of late.  Joe Flacco is terrible and their defense allows big plays.  Dolphins should be able to carry their momentum in this game.

Browns -11 - Line is high, but coming off that embarrassing loss to the Pats, i think they will be focused to get a win.  I believe Boyle is making his first career start, just a bad spot for him.  He has no one to throw to and the Browns should be able to run all over the Lions.

As always GL and comments are appreciated.

3-2 last week looking to improve on that.

Saints +3 Don't like that Kamara is out, but the Saints have an elite defense.  Titans offensive isn't impressive without Henry.  Saints win a close one by grinding it out.

Lions +8 Had this one locked in before i knew Big Ben was out.  I like getting over a TD, hopefully Goff doesn't turn the ball over.

Colts -10 Jacksonville is a terrible team, they played great last week getting the win.  It will come back to reality this week their offensive didn't do much and the Colts have played better lately.  Colts win by 2-3 TD's

Eagles +3 Broncos played well last week, but have way too many injuries coming into this game.  Eagles will establish the run game and control the clock.  Eagles win a close one.

Seahawks +3.5 - Was hoping Rodgers was playing, but i see this being a 3 point game either way.  Wilson is back and should keep the game close.  Seahawks need this game more than the Packers!  Let Russ cook.
