It looks Pitt all the way on "Paper", but only 6 pts seems fishy.  Given the records and home advantage, I would think Pitt by at least 7pts. I go the Mac Way as well and take NYG +6 ... GL as well.

@smellybunty

 Good data point out. 18-27 if you factor SB losers as well... Theory is, "Champs" (any sport) are overly favored (MLB champs Texas Rangers--baseball did horrible $$ this year )But I did horrible in baseball as well--lol  I'll be going against the SB winner and loser...next 5 games each...I'll be going against KC and SF...out of 10 games...looking for 70% vs the spread number. We will know by October.  GL on the season...

I love playoff "Revenge Games", plus it is a GO AGAINST SB winner rule...this case KC...double whammy!! I'll take the 3, but I don't think I'll need them, play on BALT +3 (-125) Medium bet on the Opener...  GL   

General Rule --Go AGAINST SB winner (and loser), at least at beginning month of new season ...Balt +3 (-125)...  the juice has already gone up...if you are laying only 2.5 w/ KC? you must have some added "vig" on that line...GL

OOps wrong forum...but same hold s true for NBA championship teams...

Go against KC and SF...for the first month anyway....next 4 plays each...I'm doing it...Balt and Jets to start...GL

I'm 0-3 on Pitt for the weekend...my mistake, not "LA Game of inches"..

@Mskeets

 You too--lol  I hold my own on other sports, but baseball kicks my ass...too many games

Okay..."tail" Pitt, if they lose, maybe come back w/ the good odds again...one game at a time...

SF looked like the better tam, but the KC "script" won...

Forget the SB, the game is over....but thinking way ahead...I will be putting a little extra on SF the next time they play KC, "Revenge Game" whenever that is....Mark it on the calendar.

Also looking ahead, the 2 SB teams usually have lousy ATS records the first month of the next Football Season.  SF and KC will be fade material first month of season.

Looking ahead for myself...Baseball, I always give back all my "Winnings" and then some...LOL

 "THE NFL CORPORATION"... WINS AGAIN!

Great call!

Good hit (For KC backers and for the NFL)...the ML was the way to go, but I took the 2 pts. 

@fts1409

 The "Business is Business" strategy for the NFL ...A new "Market" of "New" NFL fans, where there wasn't one before. Brilliant! I don't think I need the 2 pts I took.  GL

Is there a "Factor" bigger than the Super Bowl itself?

Is there BIG MONEY/ POWER/ INFLUENCE to be made weeks/months after the SB?...

"What is the Best SB Outcome for the Ad $$$ for the Business of the NFL?"...(Big Pharma is a Big NFL advertiser if anyone has noticed--w/ a ready packaged "Pitchman" and "Girlfriend")  I wouldn't be surprised if a certain TE gets MVP.

What team is the best for "Merchandising!"?...at the end of the day, it's all about the $$$$$$

I just ask questions...you can answer them yourself and...we will all know the answers by the End of the Game.  GL

If anyone is wondering..."KC for two bills"

"What's good for the NFL" Wins again

 Face it---The NFL is an (Entertainment) "Business". 

First off I'm already "In" earlier in the week on  BAL-SF ml parlay (even).  Now I have 2nd thoughts.

"What would the NFL like to see happen?" Does TV land want to see Lamar or "easy on the eyes" Taylor Swift?  The 2 weeks leading up to the SB, "The Taylor-Travis Romance" would be great for RATINGS!!! Merchandising!  Maybe become a TV show, --lol.  It would draw on Swift's non-football fans. When lots of "Moo-lah" $$$$$ is involved.....funny things can happen. 

I will "hedge" a little on KC.   I'm liking SF-7 later game.   GL

I had the same idea....

My first thought was Houston as a "Revenge game getting points" from an earlier season loss. BUt I was thinking #1 Balt should smoke Houst, so I was ready on Balt, but then I see Lamar hasn't played in 3 weeks and was taken out during the 4th qtr the game prior week too...he may come out "rusty"...confused w/ this one...maybe go w/ my first choice and when in doubt, take the points.

Yesterday I did take LAgame of inches advise on Bal- 6.5 first half though

I like all the dogs this weekend...3-1?..or 1-3?--lol
