I’ll take the short line with Detroit. It felt like the Commanders were a little bit lucky to win the game at home against the Jags, and it should be a close game. Give me the home team hungry for a win.
 
This might be a new era in NY but this would normally be a game they totally shit the bed, win on road in a big upset then go home as favs and lose! Lol. I kinda think it is different now and browns were able to destroy panthers w the run game, barkley should have another big day. Tough to trust Gmen tho cause I’ve seen this movie 100x!

Wentz tried to do his wentz thing and lose the game, little did he know the jags can do that losing thing as well as anyone! Trusting lions to actually win is tough tho, I feel like last year they would play one the good teams incredibly close, often lose tragically, but then the next week they would be favs to another bad team and they be awful! Maybe the over better here? Washington has a lot of weapons all a sudden with the addition of Samuel and Dotson to go along w ncclarron, wentz will score points for both teams if he allowed to throw it 40x a game!
 
I like the over here as well. Maybe teased with Cleveland? The Jets are really not good, and you’re just asking Cleveland to win.
 
I also kind of like a tease with the Saints, who always play the Bucs tough.

Oh I’ll def take the saints +3 and Bucs team total under most likely, actually surprised they getting points at home, they own the Brady lead bucs!
 
I thought a Seattle win would give us 7 or less. I was wrong as the sharps are all over the 9ers in this one.

Short week for a bottom feeder off their Super Bowl win vs a contender off a loss in a water park with a reckless penalties and turnovers.

10 won’t be enough. This is a 31-7 type of game. Also like the half time, full game lead, currently lined at only -175.

You feel like one day TB will one of these times, right? This kinda offense suits the D for Saints way better. They struggle with RPO like we talked about and that was a shitty version of it.

Can you explain what I'm not seeing with the 9ers? Who's running the ball?

I’m shocked them and gb both laying 10. Nothing to do with last week either. Seattle still gonna be a tough out even if they lacking at qb. Far as packers go I just don’t know how they covering such big numbers w a offense who gonna continue to struggle I think.

Wilson and Mason who won’t be as bad as they were in the mud. Trey and Debo will have big games on the ground at home. If they’re feeding Debo and he’s healthy he’s as good a back as anyone.

For me it’s more the defense which should blank Geno.

Fields other than 2 broken plays in a pool was surreal bad. Not sure how he plays in good conditions but preseason wasn’t good.

He’s not very good, and I really don’t understand this line. I know the niners played in some awful conditions on the road, but I’ve seen nothing leading me to believe they should be favored by 10 or more.
 
Lines that look to me like they are begging for money

Dolphins+3.5- New look fins dominate the Pats and books throw the hook out there? Hill changes everything offensively but Tua is still going to have to make the reads. Ravens covered but hardly looked impressive offensively vs the Jets. I could see them running all over Miami and bringing pressure on Tua.

Steelers+1- Patriots looked bad in the second half. BAD. The Steelers are home dogged now after beating the Bengals su? Something tells me the Patriots pull out an ugly one.

Raiders-3.5- How are they not favored by 6 after how bad the Cardinals looked? LV turns the ball over 3x or they easily cover lw. Maybe I'm overthinking things but I'd expect heavy Raiders $$$ here and it just looks too easy to me.

Appreciate the insight. FWIW, the Seahawks beat the 49ers in both matchups last year. Each time with Russ though. Seattle was dogged in both +2.5 and +3.5 respectively.

They did. And each game I vividly remember the 9ers outplaying them but I’m a homer. One game without Debo, and I recall the other had a fake punt from Seattle to the house that changed everything. Russ always presented the 9ers with problems. All mobile guys do. I don’t like them a lot on the road but think this is an ideal spot for a wire to wire win.
 
Cards best corner is named Dropped Pass

Yeah I’m not ready to write them off as a cellar dweller off one game. And unlike previous seasons they should be much better later it in the year with Hopkins back. That duo was the best connection in the league until recent pups of Chase and Jefferson.

Titans looked dead in the water after week 1 last season and ended up #1 seed. Think they find a way to keep it close vs Buffalo.
 
Think NE/Pitt under is a solid play, and I HATE unders. NE front 7 should control LOS and Pitt’s defense, even without Watt, will be fine. NE should have success running the ball and keeping the clock moving. Neither team is very explosive. Only concern is a defensive score.

I’d think it a really ugly game, maybe even worse than jets/browns.
 
Love me some dolphins and/or ravens tt u24.5. Fish came up w a great game plan to shut lamar down last year, Lamar looking a tad puffy and not real interested in running last week, both teams play slow and want to run, both teams have injuries up front. I think fish win but I’ll happily take the +3.5 as fish path to points just seems easier than ravens.

Its as if the 9ers were the only ones playing in bad conditions. The conservative play calling vs the lowly Bears shows the lack of trust Shanahan has in Lance. Shanahan is the most overrated HC in the NFL. The guy is 39-43 as HC for Santa Clara and abominable when Garapollo isn’t his QB. The Shanahan and Lynch tandem in a must win vs the lowly Seahags or they’ll be the earliest hot seat candidates in 2022.
Side note. That dump they built for a stadium is already outdated.

I like the Raiders too, but going Devonte Adams anytime TD. Hard to see how they win without him being involved.

Ok, now tell us how you really feel!
 
 
5 teams that lost in Week 1 are TD+ favorites in Week 2. The Rams, Packers, Bengals, Broncos and 49ers are all laying at least a touchdown despite an 0-1 record.

Aaron Rodgers is 4-0 in Week 2, after a loss in Week 1, sporting 12 touchdowns and 1 interception.
Mike Tomlin is 44-24-2 ATS in his career as an underdog, including 14-4-1 ATS as a home underdog.
Cincinnati will not have 5 turnovers this week.

Serious interest in both Panthers and Broncos TT's Over

Lol. Is there a team in the NFL who should have had a championship by now with this roster than the 9ers? They’re coming up on 30 yrs since the last one. Has to be painful.
With rain in the forecast, is Shanahan throwing out the game plan and short circuiting as we speak? Ego will not allow him to input Jimmy G, by far his best QB.
