Yeah, still on that “moving too fast” train, but … we’ll get it updated this week.
In the meantime:
Andy:
$600 – Denver (-1, -110) at NY Jets – Undoubtedly, this is a trap I regularly fall into. When this game opened, the Jets were favored by a point. I couldn’t figure out, even in New York, why the Broncos weren’t favored. I knew this was going to be one of my bets. Now, usually when I feel that strongly about a game when I first see it, I inevitably am wrong. As someone put it this week, “It’s almost like Vegas knows something we don’t.” But I’m still falling for it. After looking great in week one, the Jets have sucked. The Broncos aren’t great, but I think they are better than the Jets. So, they will win.
$800 – L.A. Rams at Seattle: Over 50 (-110) – This is a reasonably good-sized number, but I think the over/under on the Rams’ points alone starts somewhere around 33. Russell Wilson has a couple weapons back so that should help him some, though his offensive line is going to continue to suck. But they’ll put up enough for the game to reach the over.
$800 – L.A. Rams (-7.5, +100) at Seattle – The Seahawks, however, will not score enough points to make this a touchdown game. Even in Seattle, this will be a comfortable win for the visitor.
$500 – Cleveland (+150 money line) at Baltimore – The Browns keep coming close. The Ravens appear to be pretty solid this year, but I think Cleveland is actually on the brink of being pretty decent too. The defense is for real and the offense has some tools. I think this is the week they get in the win column for the second time.
Tony:
I head to Vegas in a few weeks…I feel that the fact that I’ve been wildly putting up huge bets without checking what I’ve actually won bodes well for my trip, right?
$1,000 – Carolina (-6.5, -105) vs NY Giants – This opened at 7, and has actually come down a bit? The Panthers have a bit of a reputation as not great out of the bye under Ron Rivera, but I believe they won at home with a relatively early bye last year, and that was against a team with playoff aspirations, not the New York Giants. I suppose it might be closer than I think, but…it shouldn’t be.
$1,000 – Arizona (+3, +110) vs San Francisco – This is a bit of a gut shot, as CJ Beathard didn’t look too bad in his season debut last week, but…he’s CJ Beathard.
$1,000 – Cleveland (+3, +105) vs Baltimore – One of these two has to hit, right? Cleveland has the defense to keep them in it, and may have started to realize what they have in Nick Chubb last week.
$500 – Miami (+230 moneyline) over Cincinnati – Yes, Miami was exposed last week by the Patriots–but remember when everyone said the Patriots were still the team to beat in the AFC? You should, it was basically less than a month ago–and in their last two games, they’ve started to show why. The Bengals…they aren’t the Patriots. I mean, they’ve had their head coach for almost as long (can you believe that Marvin Lewis is the second most tenured head coach in the NFL, just three seasons behind Bill Belichick), but one of them is still there because he wins Championships, and the other is there because…the owner isn’t sure where his rolodex is to set up interviews for a new coach? So at a +230, I’ll take a shot.
