There are plenty of those who bet on NFL games. I may not be one of them, but there are going to be plenty of weekly editions of who is going to win the games.
However, how are you supposed to bet on a team if you are only getting the raw winners? Besides, there are plenty of easy games to call, for instance, the Colts have the Bears beat easy this week.
Picking against the spread is much more difficult because you already have a certain amount of points given to the losing team.
So without further ado, here are all Week 1 games that you can bet on. If I'm wrong, well, it's not my money.
P.S. Sorry for missing the Giants-Redskins game, Thursday night games will not be used in this series.
Cincinnati at Baltimore- Cincinnati by 2: Bet on the Ravens
I know that the Ravens aren't a sexy pick, but lets be honest here, the Bengals aren't exactly a prized pig either. There is the Ocho Cinco drama and they are going with a running back who has never started a full season. Also, their defense is horrible.
NY Jets at Miami - Jets by 3: Bet on the Jets
I really can't see how this is only a three-point spread, the Jets are far and away a better team than the Dolphins. Not much else needs to be said here.
Kansas City at New England - New England by 16: Bet on New England
A 16-point spread is a hefty margin to live up to, but I could easily see a 30-10 victory here. Tom Brady to Randy Moss is much better than Brodie Croyle to Dwayne Bowe.
Jacksonville at Tennessee - Jacksonville by 3: Bet on Jacksonville
The Jags are, in my opinion, a Super Bowl contender. The Titans are a team that is likely to not do better than 9-7. I think Jacksonville wins by a toucdown.
Houston at Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh by 6.5: Bet on Pittsburgh
The Texans are going to be a good, 8-8 team. The only problem is, Pittsburgh is a better 11-5 team and should win by a touchdown.
Detroit at Atlanta - Detroit by 3: Bet on Detroit
This may be the only time this year that Detroit has an outright win. I don't have their schedule memorized and they should at least steal one from the Bears, but I can't see them losing to the Falcons. They are just too bad.
Seattle at Buffalo - Buffalo by 1: Bet on Buffalo
The Bills are definitely on an upswing, and the AFC East is a really strong division. Expect Marshawn Lynch to get even stronger this season and Lee Evans to have a Pro Bowl caliber year.
Tampa Bay at New Orleans - New Orleans by 3: Bet on New Orleans
The Saints are the sexy pick to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, with the additions of Jonathan Vilma and Jeremy Shockey along with a healthy running game, the Saints should be good. Tampa Bay will be good to, but I say New Orleans by five.
St. Louis at Philadelphia - Philadelphia by 8: Bet on Philly
The Rams are a long, long way from their "Greatest Show on Turf" days. Now, defenses can zone in on Stephen Jackson while both Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce both gone or ancient. Philly should grab one here as they make their way back to the top of the NFC.

I like your picks, i got all the same except I got Seattle, Cincinnati, and Dallas. You also missed the Jacksonville Tennessee this sunday just for your information, thats my game of the week. Albert Haynesworth and Jevon Kearse vs. Jones-Drew and Taylor, and Paul Spicer and John Henderson vs. White and Johnson. Two playoff teams going against each other should be a defensive battle.

I never said the panthers would win, i just think it will be about a one-touchdown game. Also, thanks for backing my up on the pick of hte Browns.

I like them too...if they're playing the Dolphins, Falcons, Raiders, Ravens, Redskins, Rams, 49ers, etc...but the Seahawks are a relatively legit football team....

Just found your site .. solid info, and for the most part I agree. Shows guts to pick the Browns vs the trendy 'Boys, but I like it, at home, week 1. The poss. loss of Jamal may be a gamebreaker though. Panthers over SD is gutsy. But with 9.5 I can see it esp with Jake back and a powerful 1-2 run game. Cheers.

Thanks for the compliments.
Like I said, I can't see the Panthers winning strait up, I just think they can keep it close.
