You don't have to go into great detail but simply look at the lines this morning and take your 3 best bets.
Vegas Odds
Indy +3, Det +1.5, Buff -2, Cinci Pk'em...so of all these close lines I loved Cinci getting 2 points earlier this week, I still like them to win the game and a lot of money has come late to Cinci today, not sure that always means success but a lot of professional gamblers like to place their bets on Sunday Morning after they get a full injury report and such. I like Indy quite a bit today, felt they played well last week and Tennessee was so up for Cleveland that I think they might be in for a slight return to Earth this week. I don't know how you can take the Giants other than it's in their stadium, maybe pride after last week? After the Phins they looked the worst on defense with Receivers wide open all day last week. Lions upset Chargers, they dominated for 3.5 quarters last week until they fell asleep.
Balt -13, NE -18.5, Dallas -6, HOU -7.5, KC -7...most of these games are largely believed to be blowouts. I believe AZ can cover the 13, Baltimore looked amazing vs a Junior Varsity level squad let's be real. I don't know how you can not take New England if you must bet that game. I do like the Skins getting 6 although they are not a good football team. I think it was indictment of Philly last week which I'll get to in a minute. Houston was favored by almost 10, the line has moved and I don't really understand why. Jacksonville is rolling with an unheralded rookie QB, I'm not buying a ticket for that ride just yet. Chiefs sustained a terrible injury last week, Oakland might be able to keep this closer than some think. Josh Jacobs is the goods, they seem united behind Gruden, this is going to be a playoff level game today, you bet your ###!!!
Pitt -4, LARams -3, Green Bay -3...These games have pretty solid teams and you can make arguments either way which usually means you should pass on betting them however...The Steelers are being hailed this week as that bounce back team, we've seen them do it numerous times in the past, Seattle is traveling cross country but...Seattle played a tough game at home alst week, managed to wi and they are going to be a team that gets bette each week with the development of young players but a good leader in Wilson. I'm not sure I like all this money rolling onto Pittsburgh but nderstand why folks lean that way. I didn't think the Saints looked that good last week but they did erupt in the 3rd Q. I don't see them beating the Rams who were in total control last week despite the 30-27 Final. I'm not sure why Green Bay is the favorite here but I want to see the Vikings repeat what they did to Atlanta last week, if they are even 75% that good on the road, might be a long day for the Packers who are not dialed in on offense yet...The Vikings sure seemed to be comfortable with who they are.
And finally...I like Atlanta tonight as +1.5 underdog at home. They have a tough schedule ahead of them and this is virtually a must win or they are going to be in big trouble. I like teams that have a lot of talent and get backed into the corner early in the season. I expect the Falcons to open up on offense and this could be a shootout but I am expecting Atlanta to clear somewhere in the 35-45 points area on offense, they may surrender 21-28 to the Eagles but they are going to score as much as it takes to get their first win of the season.
My top 3 this week are going to be Cinci (Pk'em), LA Rams -3, Atlanta +1.5
Other games I like...Indy +3, Det +1.5, Buff -2, Hou -7.5,
