Football season is here!!!

And with it come a lot of fishy looking lines.
Without further ado, here are my plays for week 1 NFL (P.S. as noted in bbd's "Am I crazy" thread, I bet .25 units to win .65 on Indy and the Under. So, I'm a whopping +.65 going in. Woo hoo!

Anyhoo:
3* on Pitt -4- as soon as the early lines came out, I pounded this, then I hit it again, then again... I've made my thoughts on this game apparent to anyone who would listen, and unless this is a classic trap game, this is the easiest game on the card. I mean this is truly too good to be true. But, I think it's true and I'm walking with it. If I nail my NCAA card, expect me to throw another unit on here at -4.5. WINNER +3*
3* Sea/SD 6 point teaser so SEA and SD pck WINNER +3*
2* SD -6 WINNER +2*
2* Den -3 (I almost over thought this one) LOSER (should have thought less) -2.20* @ -110
1.5* Philly -3 LOSER -1.575*
1.5* Sea -6 WINNER +1.5*
1* NYJ +7 LOSER -1.05*
1* SD/Chi -42.5 WINNER +1*
1* Wash -3 PUSH NO ACTION
1/2* Det-Oak Under 39.5 LOSER -.525*
1/2* Atlanta ML (+145) LOSER -.5*
1/2* Tennessee ML (+250) WINNER +1.25*
1/2* Tennessee +7 WINNER +.5*

And I was planning on betting 20 NFL units, so 1.75 are still up for grabs. Probably saving that for SF-AZ.
If you can't tell, I absolutely love week 1 of the NFL.

I'm feeling very chalky this week and though usually that spells deep shit, I'm feeling OK about this week...

WEEK 1: 8-5 +7.05 Units

I actually bet way more on weeks 1 & 2 than on any other weeks until the playoffs start. I've had good luck. Last year, my top 5 picks went 5-0...
In fact, I host a gambling/pick 5 contest at a FF site and here's how obnoxious I was last year after going 5-0 (the year before, I went 43-17 after we started the pick 5--ATS or +/-). Here were my actual messages on that board:

I'm going to go ahead and make my picks, as I'll be tailgating tomorrow in Austin and won't be in any condition to post my picks tomorrow.

1) Eagles- It almost seems too easy... That said, this time it just might be. Hopefully, many of you were able to lock it down at 4 or even 3.5, but now it's creeping up to 5.5. Obviously, many of us are missing an angle here...

2) Chicago-GB Under- I'm a little worried about both QB's giving up short fields in this one, which would obviously lead to more scoring. If both teams come out with conservative gameplans, I think the under is good. If the Pack come out slinging, I'm not so sure.

3) Chicago- I've been perplexed by this line since the preseason lines came out. I locked it in early (at -110) thinking the line would move to 4.5 and it's stayed at 3.5... Interesting...

4) Carolina-Atlanta Under- Smith's injury will make this more of a ball-control, field position game than it normally would have been. these two teams know each other well and I actually like Atlanta to cover and maybe win outright, but the safer bet is the under.

5) Seattle-Detroit Under-24-16 or so... I like Seattle to cover but nobody had touched the +/- and I like the under also...[/b]

I really hope some of you are making money off my picks. I should charge good money for this thread.

5-0 Week 1.

I'm not trying to say that I'm hot shit or anything, and I'll probably lose 8 units now that I've said all that, but I'm just saying that A) I went 43-17 over the final 12 weeks of 2005-06 ATS and +/- and B) I have a good track record for week 1 games in the NFL *knocks on wood*. So, while I admit that it looks like I have too many games on my card, I actually have reasoning behind it. And my unit size isn't a dime, so I think I'm OK. When the NFL comes around, I reduce my unit size because i like to play a larger card. Even NCAAF takes a backseat to weeks 1&2 of the NFL. I do love me some NCAABB though... Damn, do I love it.

Oh, and by the way, I do like NYJ and ATL (though I'd play the latter on the ML). As for TB, I think they get smoked and are one of the 3 worst teams in the NFL, but then again, what do I know. Best of luck with your picks, though I will unfortunately be rooting against you on your TB play.

[WestsidePete]

Nice start baba...

[CrazyL]

Nice week Baba.

[babaoriley]

Thanks Pete and crazyl. trying to figure out if I want to play around with the other 1.75 units that I was planning on betting. Maybe a little something tonight, then SF/AZ.

[babaoriley]

Almost getting this in late, but I put 1/2* on both SF (-3 @-115) and 1/2* on Cinci -2.5. Crappy line that I got on SF, but oh well.
