Official \"3+1 NFL Challenge- 2005\" Week 1 lines
 
I see no need to wait any longer- I don't see any rule changes coming and we have the lines out there, so let's get ready to rumble!

For the final rules being used, see
2005 official rules link

<font color="red"> One thing I forgot there- if you want to bet the line and the over/under, those are two separate bets and should be listed separately. </font>
I know that seems obvious, but just in case

Here are the lines for Week 1
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
Thurs 9/8/05
<font color="blue">Raiders at Patriots -7.5 50o</font>

Sun 9/11/05
<font color="green">Bears at Redskins -6.5 33o
Bengals at Browns +3 44o
Broncos at Dolphins +4 38.5o
Texans at Bills -4 39o
Saints at Panthers -6.5 45.5o
Jets at Chiefs -3 49o
Seahawks at Jaguars -3 39.5o
Buccaneers at Vikings -6 43o
Titans at Steelers -7 40o
Cardinals at Giants -1.5 38o
Cowboys at Chargers -4.5 40.5o
Packers at Lions -3 46o
Rams at 49ers +4.5 46o
Colts at Ravens +3 47o</font>

Mon 9/12/05
<font color="purple">Eagles at Falcons +1.5 41.5o</font>
</pre><hr />

If I made any obvious mistakes, such as flipping a line to the wrong favorite, I'll post those corrections. Swings in the correct line will not be adjusted for.

Good luck to all in your NFL betting. Don't forget to post some reasoning with your picks and post before the required deadline.

My picks
 
$400 bet Rams
$300 bet Bills
$200 bet Pats u50
$100 bet Chiefs


Rams- They're playing the 49ers!

Bills- Texans on the road, Bills defense...

Pats under- I didn't like the line on this game, even with the Pats at home, but I do like the under for the Pats at home, even with Randy to throw to, since Bill's had a number of weeks to plan for it.

Chiefs- will the home power continue? Besides, any team smart enough to cut FredEx should be able to cover 3.

Colts: Im still drinking the Manning Kool-Aid. The Ravens defense is good, but their offense is a big question mark, and Indy can cover 3 points on anybody but the Patriots.

Chargers: I dont think last year was a fluke. LT and Brees are an efficient combination, and Parcells is relying on the old guard to rennovate the Cowboys. If that rennovation is successful it should take a few weeks to get on track.

Bills: This is a case of a mediocre team visiting a good defense.

Bengals: Lord help me, I think the Bengals are making the playoffs this year. They finished 8-8 the last two years with worse teams, and theyve improved. The Browns on the otherhand still stink.

Looking to move up from my middle of the pack finish last year.

Vikes/Bucs - Bucs offense was pretty good at end of 04. I think their defense is slipping a bit. Vikes D is improved, but not tested.

Bills/Texans - I love the Bill D and they are starting an erratic rookie QB. Nice number to play under.

Lions/Pack - Two terrible defenses, one very good offense and one average defense. Number should be at least 48 or 49.

Skins/Bears - Rookie Orton is starting on the road vs. a very good D. Should be a tough day for the Bears.

Patriots? Because I was running ym mouth about them before and I feel like I have to bet them considering a few of the posts I made in the last few days. I wouldn't go near this game with real money though.

lol dude you said your system calculated the Pats were going to murder the Raiders. That's a real money play no matter how you shake it. Why be afraid of your own analysis?

Thanks for the assist, but I always assume descending order (so #1 is $400 on Broncos, etc) if there are no other indications.

lawpoker 09-04-2005 04:30 PM

My picks
 
$400 Rams
$300 Colts
$200 Packers
$100 Eagles

Rams -- if martz will stick with the running game, the passing game will easily produce like it's 1999. oh, and it's the 49ers...

Colts -- lewis will get his yards, but peyton will find a way to get the ball to the endzone 3 times, and edgerin will add at least one on his own. dwight freeny should light up boller alllllll day.

Packers -- they won't win a lot of games this year. but they'll win this one. the question is, will farve punish walker for holding out and in general being a dick?

Eagles -- imo, my questionable pick. but i just can't imagine that the falcons will be able to stop all aspects of the eagles offense. if anyone can shut down vick, the eagles can.

Panthers- Saints have too many distractions

Cowboys- What can I say, I'm a homer.

Rams- Great offense, lousy defense.

Bears- I'm going to fade Gibbs in every game.

$100 Pariots u50

Unsophisticated analysis follows.

To be honest, only the first two jumped out at me as bets I might actually want to make. But I'll explain the other two anyway.

Rams: I just think the 49ers are horrible, and the Rams aren't. 4.5 is a decent bit on the road, but I think the 49ers are gonna have huge trouble scoring.

Panthers: The Panthers are better than the Saints, it's at home, and the Saints will be distracted by Katrina (as they should be).

Texans: I just don't think the Bills are that good, and I think the Texans are better than others do.

Patriots u50: 50 is a lot. I know it's the Raiders and all, but it's early in the season, and I'm hoping for a 28-21 game [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I think people are overestimating Moss' impact on the total.

$400 Rams
$300 Bengals
$200 Redskins
$100 Packers o46

With the first three, basically just betting against bad teams.

The Lions-Packers game should be a shootout, with two good offenses versus two suspect defenses. I also like GB here (never underestimate the Brett Favre post-tragedy effect), just not as much as the others I listed.
