2009 NFL Week 2 – Early Plays
Still cleaning up after myself thanks to an ugly week 1. -10u. I would take all four of those bets again, though admittedly the Lions bet was probably too ambitious.
Early plays this week:
Cleveland/Denver Over 37 4u
Sticking with my preseason assessment that both of these defenses are below average at best. Line may be up to 37.5 across the board by now.
Minnesota @ Detroit +10 2u
I’m going to continue betting on Detroit and against Minnesota for the foreseeable future. At least this week I only need to bet one game.
Early leans:
WTF is going on with the Pats/Jets line? It opened in some places as high as +6.5 NYJ and has been bet down as low as 3. This has to be an overreaction by NY money based on week 1 games. Clearly, the Pats are the better team here, right?
Pittsburgh @ Chicago +3
If Cutler plays well last week, this is Chicago +1
NYG +3 @ Dallas
Giants getting 3 points vs. Dallas? Yes, please.
Indy @ Miami +3
I like Miami but can’t yet articulate why.
All three of you comment away.

I really like the NYG play.
I’d stay away from the Pats game; I have no idea what will happen. W/O Mayo, the defense worries me, esp guarding tailbacks out of the backfield by inexperienced LB. Tom Brady has a lifetime 48% completion percentage vs Rex Ryan defenses; yet he is still 2-0 in those contests, because it’s the Jets and they are 3rd in the league behind Buffalo and Cincy in the “How to blow games in fantastic fashion” category.
Unfortunately, NYG and CHI are both sitting at -120/-125 depending on the site. No interest in paying that kind of juice. Too bad I don’t personally know a Dallas fan.
