2. Kansas City +16.5 - Sunday September 7th
Pre season makes a difference in the NFL and the Patriots have looked GOD awful in the early going and Tom Brady has yet to take a snap. Yet Patriot backers will expect them to cover a double digit spread. Tom Brady’s health is questionable and the Chiefs will surprise some teams this year. With a running game that can slow down the clock these points look nice. The Chiefs are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 as double digit dogs.

3. San Francisco / Arizona Over 41.5 - Sunday September 7th
There are plenty of bad qualities that you can see these two teams have but it’s not on offense. Kurt Warner is back with a solid group at wide out and a running game that will open things up and get plenty of points on the board. The 49ers counter with JT O’Sullivan and he has had an awesome pre-season and has gotten his offense on board. Points will be a plenty in this game. Arizona has gone over the total in 9 of the last 12 games against the division.

4. Tampa Bay +3.5 - Sunday September 7th
The Saints and the Buccaneers will be two of the most improved teams this year and should do well. The Saints however had to play the part of nomads again as they left to practice in Indianapolis to avoid Hurricane Gustav. The Buccaneers have looked great in preseason and this will be a close well fought game and that means I want the points. The Saints are a wretched 3-11 ATS in the last 14 as home favorites.

5. Cleveland +5.5 - Sunday September 7th
The Browns were 12-4 ATS last season and many of the experts predict that they will be even better this year. The reason I am sold on this game is because we have a home dog at plus points and a offense that will put up plenty of points whether it is Anderson or Quinn. The Cowboys have an offense that can match them but it will come down to the end and I will take the points.

6. Washington / Giants Under 41 - Thursday September 4th
The season starts off with the defending champs going against a long hated rival in the Redskins. These games have a history of being tough and the defenses have the edge early here. The Redskins will rely on Portis to carry the offense and since he was not battered in the preseason they will be able to use them to burn clock. In a low scoring game to open the season I will take the under.

7. Pittsburgh -6.5 Sunday September 7th
The more things change the more they stay the same. Houston is improved but not in the league of the Steelers. This is my only chalk play for a reason because the Steelers will blow the doors off Houston. Watch the most impressive rushing attack in the league take over and the Steelers to leave Houston in the dust!
