Hey Stanggt3, thanks for the info.

What's the totals look like?

thanks again!

Some additional clarification:

By Seahawks "softer" offensive line I'm referring to the trade of Max Unger for Jimmy Graham.  I actually expect them to play somewhat better against a depleted 49ers defensive front.

Keys to 49ers covering/winning: Kaepernick and Hyde need to chip away at the Seahawks by effectively running the ball, using the run to set up short high percentage passes and exploit Seahawks aggressive zone read defense.

Questions regarding coaching preparation surround Pete Carroll, who seems to be having some issues with this team after last year's SuperBowl "decision".  I firmly believe this team is playing less like a team, and more as individuals.

I also believe Geep Chryst and Eric Mangini will have this team ready, with what they got.  Tomsula is a player's coach, however his coordinators are undervalued.

Finally, I can't stress intangibles - crowd will be rocking, grass v.s turf (Seahawks historically do not play as well on grass).

Seahawks are going to take this loss and right the ship, but it needs to happen first.  Media then will start to overvalue 49ers progress and begin to downplay Seahawks talent.

Project both these teams to finish close to .500 winning percentage by season's end.

Thursday Night Football 10/22/2015

The 49ers host division rival Seattle Seahawks at home.  The 49ers are 6.5 point  home underdogs in a primetime spot vs. a division rival.

The 49ers have come into this season as a team projected to have a losing season due to some key losses across the board.  Colin Kaepernick has come into his own under new offensive coordinator, Geep Chryst, who has allowed Kaepernick to start playing to his strengths, primarily big arm and above average mobility to stretch defenses and open up run game.  Defense has been over-achieving under new defensive coordinator, Eric Mangini, who has worked hard to install a scheme that mitigates the 49ers huge losses over the offseason.  Overall, this team's play has exceeded expectations so far, however there is a lot of season left.

The Seahawks on the other hand, were projected to once again win the NFC West and make the playoffs - despite some questions regarding a suspect offensive line and Kam Chancellor holdout, as well as drama surrounding Russell Wilson's contract.  Seahawks have underperformed, dropping multiple games in the 4th quarter.

When this line opened, Seahawks were favored at 4 points.  That has moved to 7 points and there has to be some serious money or a large public consensus to drive this type of line move over the course of 7 days.

Media and public still seems to prefer this Seahawks squad to the 49ers squad - and rightly so from a personnel perspective, this is the same team "basically" that made the SuperBowl-albiet with a much softer offensive line.

Division rivalry is real.  Media and public perception is this is an easy win for the Seahawks.

What does this tell me as a handicapper?

I believe strongly that 49ers will come into this game motivated, regardless of coming off a win.  I also believe the Seahawks will come into this game prepared and motivated to win, coming off a heartbreaking loss at home in the last minute.

Essentially, this will boil down to a dog fight in front of a charged, emotional 49er's home crowd.

Taking the points - the Seahawks will be lucky to cover this game by a FG, let alone a TD.

I could go into motivation, history, public perception, money and line movement...everything points not only to 49ers cover - but also quite possibly a 49ers win straight up.

49ers-7 $1100/1000
49ers ML $500/1185

Thanks RL, appreciate your efforts posting these.

The line is -131 now on my local book.

Cubs have to win tonight, how else are they going to sweep the World Series?

Go watch Back to the Future 2 you degenerates! 

Got destroyed week 1 to the tune of -$800, time to get back in the saddle.  Fade or ride.

Thursday
Redskins+4

Sunday
Jags+14
Cowboys+2.5
Eagles+2.5
49ers+6.5

Fading Johnny Football was trendy last year, when his own team hated him.  This year - he's not a rookie and he's putting in work.  I expect he'll be playing for the starting job this Sunday.  Add in Cleveland defense will be a lot less vanilla than what we saw with the Bucaneers.  Going to take the vet QB team, and that's the Browns.

Write Up:

Cowboys offensive line will dominate the trenches, Giants don't have solid pass rush.  Add in the fact, Giants are decimated at safety position.  They'll be exposed.  Why wouldn't I play the over?  Because I believe Cowboys will make a concerted effort to win time of possession.  They don't have the defense to dominate games, so they will try to slow/stop/stymie Eli Manning by holding onto the ball.  Cowboys should, in my estimation, dominate time of possession.

Cowboys 1st half -4.5 : $440

Cowboys-6.5

They'll run all over the Giants, Romo will get his.  This is a division rivalry game in primetime.

Cowboys at home should be money.  Also like Cowboys 1st half...-4.5.

Regarding total, scores to be had - but I'm hesitant to bet over 53.  At that total, I'll go Under 53 if forced.

Overall: 0-0
Bank: $5500

Cowboys-6.5 : $440
Under 53 : $110

9/5:
Stanford-11
Under 48
Georgia-36
UCLA-19

Peyton can't stretch the field with his arm, but I think Denver's defense will consistently dominate enough games to keep them above 10 wins and win the AFC West division.

Cardinals seem like a better bet under 8.5 wins, but I wouldn't play it.  Bruce Arians is a solid coach and consistently gets more out of his players than what their talent would suggest.

Best of luck though bud.

Sounds about as homer as it can get...agree to a point with your analysis on Pitt.

Overall Record: 0-0
Week 1 Record: 0-0

9/4:
Michigan State 1st half -10
Michigan State -16.5
Under 56
Southern Methodist +36             
Boise State -12
Under 55.5     500

No analysis or write up, just on your gut?  Haha, no thanks - but if you'd like to bet your house on it, please go for it.

  Explain why you think that?

Michigan State is coming into this season with a very solid team all around.  Connor Cook has unfinished business.

They were close to a NCAAF championship bid, so I think D'Antonio has them ready to smash opponents this season.

Think Michigan State easily covers.

Regarding Washington vs Boise State, it is personal.  Boise State's senior and junior players were recruited by Peterson.  I see them coming into this game with a chip on their shoulder.

Washington, lost nine starters last year.  While they're coming into the second year of the scheme - I think it takes some time for them to pick up steam.

Like Boise State-12 and the over.

I think you hit 90% of those and lose everything, lol.
