NFL Week 1

Well! The NFL season hasn't even started and we're already over 4 units in profit with a 6-1 record. Great start but this is a marathon, not a sprint. We'll take our strong start but it's not the time to get soft or play gutsy. We take the same preparation into each week, let's hope this good fortune continues.

LATE PLAY ADDITION:

Giants +3 (+110) 1u
The Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 trips to Dallas, confident that streak continues. Look to Eli to pick apart the Cowboys secondary

NFL WEEK 1
The regular season kicks off tomorrow... yes you heard me. NFL football has arrived!
No official play for the Thursday nighter, but we're leaning Broncs -7.5. The choice is yours.

**This post will be updated throughout the rest of the week with our plays and write-ups so stay tuned! At latest, the plays will be up Sunday morning**

Seahawks -3.5 (-110) *2 Units*
From the moment the Falcons hit that game-winning field goal in the NFC divisional round last year to send the Hawks packing, coach Carroll had his mind set on this Sunday. The Hawks were defined by their smash-mouth secondary last year. Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas led that defence, but they struggled with the pass rush. So what did Carroll and GM Schneider do? They went out and got Cliff Avril from the Lions. Cam Newton may think of himself as Superman, but the Hawks defence is as villainous as Lex Luther. Hawks have a big year and a deep run, take the -3.5.

Redskins -3.5 (-110)
There is no way Shanahan lets RG3 step on the field if he's not 100%. They came horribly close to losing their franchise star in last year's playoffs (and I mean, career changing-won't be the same), but they've learnt their lesson. RG3 is back for an encore, Morris is a beast, and the home crowd will be juiced. Eagles are going through a major overhaul with Chip Kelly. They will improve, but it will also take time.

Bengals +3  (-110)
I know what you're thinking. The Bengals? In Chicago? On opening day? Everyone has this image of the Bengals as a mediocre franchise that no one really cares about. Trust me, up until midway through last season, I still pictured them that way. But, in my opinion, the Bengals have the second best defence in league. Dalton is good and getting better, and their wideouts are strong and skilled. This isn't so much a pick but a statement: the Bengals are a dominant team in the NFL.

Giants +3 (+110) 1u
The Giants are 4-0 in their last 4 trips to Dallas, confident that streak continues. Look to Eli to pick apart the Cowboys secondary
