NFL ROUND 1
I have 3 I like today for a total of 11 units:
3*** on Pitt over 36.
The Steelers seem too easy on the side as they opened at +3 and are down to +1 on most spots. I am rolling the over. I looked at this game for awhile and here's what comes to mind. We always talk about the great defenses, but I think Pitt is going to light it up through the air. BOTH of the Ravens starters at corner are Rookies. They are going against Ward and Wallace, which is a stern test. Let's not forget the last matchup between these two was a 31-24 playoff shootout in the 2nd half. I'm taking the over.
3*** on over 36
Cincy at Cleveland
4**** on Cincy +6 1/2
Am I the only guy in the world that's sold on Andy Dalton and AJ Green? I'm telling ya, this guy is solid and reminds me a lot of other great QB's who came in the league. Dalton is raw, he's a rookie, but damn is he intelligent and has the intangibles. He led the Frogs to a win over Wisky in the Rose bowl, and he's got some serious weapons. The TE is good, AJ Green is going to be a star (if he's available in your fantasy league, swoop him now). Cleveland has a good yound nucleaus with Colt and Peyton leading their team to a brighter future, but I honestly think Cincy might win this one outright. I told myself that Dalton would be a great one in the NFL and I think he starts the legacy today. Should be one of the better early games. If there was such a thing as a futures game in the NFL, this is it. Benson was in jail, big deal! The man is a veteran, an All Pro, and wants to be on the field almost more than anyone this Sunday. He should have a big day as well.
4**** on Cincy +6 1/2
Zona -6 over Carolina
God your kidding me. Please don't believe the hype in Cam, at least not NFL week 1. He has not figured out the playbook, he won't be able to outrun defenses, he's simply not ready. He should not start this game and I think it's a terrible coaching move. Zona has seen Kolb and Fitzie starting to gel and I think Beanie Wells is going to be a big fantasy player today. Carolina still has a decent defense but the offense is better balanced for Zona and I don't think they can stop Fitz. In addition, Carolina is going to hand the ball off a lot and Zona should be loading the box to force Cam to throw to beat them. I don't think he can do that and I will take the points against the Panthers.
PC 3*** on Zona
