NFL Discussion Thread: Week 1

[Snowman1]

I've got a nice parlay with Atlanta, GB and Cincy on the ML. If they all pull the upsets my ROI is huge. Small risk huge reward if you can nail 3 dogs on the ML. Obviously as I sit here this morning all of my bets look great though lol. Hit me up an hour after kickoff and I'll probably be trying to drink the memories away.

Hate to rain on your parade already henry but why are you so high on Atlanta today? The Saints' offense is gonna be extra motivated with Payton back. Other two are safe bets.

I was thinking Seattle was a good play just because of SEA going East and playing a 10:00 game, but nah. Seattle is fucking loaded mate.

That said, sure, they could lose, but they aren't near the top of my list of teams on upset alert.

I wouldn't bet on it lol. Just saying that would be the one I'd like. I don't like any of the underdogs this week. I guess packers would be the one that I could easily see winning.

I agree, I have saints winning. I have saints in the SB

Not to mention, Rowdy Roddy prolly isn't going to play.

Falcons are the better team. People have laid down some crazy ideology that somehow makes the Saints go from contender to scrub back to contender again, all dependent on Payton's presence. I don't see it that way. I did at first, but after really putting some thought into it, the Saints just aren't what they used to be and it isn't Payton that is the problem. That defense is beyond dog shit. I can't see any possible way the Falcons put up less than 30. The Saints D has no talent and they are adjusting to a new scheme of Rob Ryan. Ryan is aggressive and I believe this aggression will lead to big plays for Atlanta. On the other side of the coin of course NO is explosive, but I just don't feel it when I watch them in preseason. O Line isn't as great as it once was and they still want to involve Mark ingram for some reason, basically stalling their own attack by using a runner who lacks explosion or vision.

Either way, love watching these two teams play. Always high scoring affairs in whichever dome they are playing in.

White will play bro. And Saints in the SB? That's madness. They have a bottom 5 D in the league.

As for you saying you don't like the dogs, you just aren't sure which dogs will win or you don't think they will?

I would be willing to bet my life that at least 1/3 (5 out of the next 15 games) are won by the 'dogs according to the books.

I just like them. They are the only team to really dominate the Giants time after time over the years. Payton to me is a genius, and that team will not lose at home. I am going out on a limb but they were pretty dominating outside of last year.

I don't think they will win. The matchups are pretty cut and dry this week. Obviously I like the giants though lol

 

[Danielson]

NE easy
Sea will win ( Car surprise won't shock me)
Cincy wins
CLE wins
Det vs Min is a fuckin toss up
Ind wins
Kc wins with reid but JAX winning would not shock me
NO over ATL (that's my upset)
Tb destroys the jets
Ten beats PIt
SF over green bay
Arizona vs STL (Who knows)
Giants over rdallas

I don't have the spread in front of me so that's all straight up what I think.

1 week sig bet that we see 5 upsets today/tomorrow? Nothing about the NFL is ever cut and dry.

Sadly though I don't see the Giants as one of those 5 teams pulling upsets. Their offense was appalling in preseason, never got on the same page.

Only true dead dog on the board is Oakland though. I promise you they won't compete in that game.

With spread or against it?

You could get a lot of upsets with the spread. I wouldn't take that bet.

NO is actually favored by 3. Ten, G Men and Cincy are dogs as well.

See, you like 4 dogs and didn't even know it.

I'm saying 5 underdogs will win outright

lol damn, won't take that bet than. I didn't even look at the spreads like I said.

 

[Danielson]

I can't take that bet, considering what you just told me. That'd be foolish, looks like we agree on upsets
