SEASON OUTRIGHT: 1-0
SEASON, AGAINST THE SPREAD: 0-1
BILLS + 10 over Patriots (Pats to win outright) -- Patriots are severely depleted, EJ Manuel might be good, 10 points is way too much.
Titans +7 over STEELERS (Steelers to win) -- No way Pittsburgh should be giving 7 to anybody right now.
Falcons +3 over SAINTS (Saints to win) -- Two even teams, taking the points.
JETS + 3.5 over Bucs (Jets to win) -- The Bucs went 7-9 last year, the Jets 6-10. The Jets probably make an upgrade at quarterback with Geno Smith, and they're playing at home. So why are they getting more than a FG? (Note: I'm sneakily high on the Jets this year. . .)
Chiefs -4 over JAGUARS -- No reason to think Jacksonville won't be historically bad this year.
BEARS -3 over Bengals -- The Marc Trestman era gets off to a smashing start.
BROWNS -1 over Dolphins -- OC Norv Turner turns Brandon Weeden into a legitimate fantasy QB.
Seahawks -3.5 over PANTHERS -- Believe the hype on Seattle.
Vikings +5 over LIONS (Lions to win) -- Kind of silly that the line is this high.
Raiders + 10 over COLTS (Colts to win) -- Colts should regress this year, no reason anyone should be a double digit favorite in week 1, even if Matt McGloin or Terrelle Pryor are behind center in Oakland
Cardinals + 4.5 over RAMS (Rams to win outright) -- No strong opinion here.
NINERS -4.5 over Packers -- Packers ripe for a fall this year.
Giants + 3.5 over COWBOYS (Giants to win) -- Giants repay Dallas for spoiling last year's opening night party.
Eagles +3 over REDSKINS (Eagles to win) -- Philly might be sneaky-good this year.
CHARGERS + 3.5 OVER Texans (Texans to win) -- San Diego won 3 of 4 down the stretch last year, and might not be as bad as everyone thinks. Take them getting more than a FG at home in primetime.
