Will start this one early this week to get some feedback on my picks.

6-2 last week for NFL
2-3 last week for CFB
8-5 total

Not too great, but I am happy with my NFL results.

Anyways... looking at some early lines.

Indianapolis -13.0 at Houston
Indianapolis will crush them. They are still one of the best teams in the league and Houston is... well... Houston. I'll probably lay a bit on this one.

NY Giants +3 at Philadelphia
Is there something I am missing here? Why are the Giants the underdog in this game? Philadelphia isn't better than them. I'm so confused about this.

Arizona at Seattle -7
Well.. they are at home this time. Hopefully they will score a touchdown this time.

Kansas City +11.0 at Denver
+11? Denver isn't that good...

Will look at more later

Early College Picks

I want something for Thursday so I am thinking of laying down some cash on

Maryland at West Virginia -16.5
West Virginia usually scores 40+ against teams that aren't that good. Maryland is a team who isn't that good. Me win money.

Kansas +5 at Toledo
I can see Kansas winning outright in this game.

Wake Forest at Connecticut -6.0
I think this game will be a blowout. Wake Forest beat Duke by 1 point... and Duke should stick to basketball.

Michigan at Notre Dame -7
Notre Dame looks great this year and I don't think 7 points is that much of a stretch. Liking this pick.

LSU at Auburn -3.5
I think this line should be atleast 6 or 7. Guess I'll put some money on it then.

Florida -3.5 at Tennessee
Their offence is pretty good...

Well that looks good for now, I'll probably start laying down the money on Wednesday.

Take Maryland with the points.

Take LSU outright.

Oh, and Philly (-3) is almost a lock.

Elaborate?

For starters they're at the Linc. Second, the Eagles play very similar to the Colts. Lost of screens, dumps, and an aerial onslaught. The Giants run defense is strong, that's a given, but their secondary is overrated. Did you watch the Manning Bowl? The Giants had three interceptions IN THEIR HANDS and let them go. It was on plays when Peyton had to force because of his pocket collapsing but McNabb can roll out and make things happen.

An array of weapons in Westbrook, Buckhalter, Brown, Stallworth, and Smith set up for single coverages all over the field. Their offense will do just as well, if not better than the Colts did.

Eli's got skills but when there's pressure and his pocket breaks down, he looks for Burress. And when that happens, Manning simply throws it up. Burress made Manning look great with his two circus catches but with Dawkins or Lewis knocking Plax into next Tuesday, he might not be pulling it down quite so easily.

I'm not saying the Giants won't play a solid game, because they have a good amount of weapons too, but Eli still looks raw and if this year goes like last, Burress won't even bother showing up to this game.

Eagles 31-24 over the Giants.

The only thing that could turn this around is Lito Sheppard being OUT. Hood will fill in nicely though against Toomer.

I'm not putting money on this game though as I've been an Eagles fan for 14 years. Too much emotion on this one.

Lines I like so far:

Indy -13.5

Minny +2 (Depending on Smith)

Atlanta -5.5

St Louis -3

New England -6

Pittsburgh -1

San Diego -12

NY Giants +3 at Philadelphia
Is there something I am missing here? Why are the Giants the underdog in this game? Philadelphia isn't better than them. I'm so confused about this.

I would say these teams are evenly matched so the 3 points is simply the home field points. This isn't last years philly team.

Philly's offense is better than NYG, there defense is worse, and their special teams is better

Philly had a cakewalk last week, NYG had a tough game I'd take philly if I had to pick, personally I would stay away from this game

Kansas City +11.0 at Denver
+11? Denver isn't that good...

No, they aren't. However, KC is that bad, especially minus trent green. Look for Denver to put 8 in the box all day and win in a route.

KC lost the best offensive coordinator and it showed, LJ did squadush as did the rest of the offense. And we know they are going to give up 21+ on defense. KC was all offense, and now they have none

Cleveland Browns +10.5
Cincinnati Bengals -10.5

thaughtgs?

Carolina Panthers -2
Minnesota Vikings +2

St. Louis Rams -3
San Francisco 49ers
