Philadelphia at Washington

We like Washington because Philadelphia has a new coach in his first road game. Chip Kelly looks confident but it could be a disaster. Lets hope so after our poor showing yesterday. Go Skins!

Washington -4 1100

NFL Week 1

You know it's the start of the NFL regular season when Tom Jackson is on ESPN talking about the Patriots like a complete moron, he claims the Patriots should have known what Aaron Hernandez was up to.  Good sign for the Patriots I guess since last time he was such a fool to speak on Patriots business they won the Superbowl.  So, thanks to that idiot, my preseason Superbowl pick is looking even better.

New England and Indy spreads have gotten too high for us.  I told Mr. Pig we should have taken them at -9 but that doesn't matter now.

We like Pittsburgh -6.5 against Tennessee because this line totally disrespects the Steelers.  They were favored by 6 last year in Tennessee and they lost the game outright after blowing a lead, and that game was on NFL Thursday night football, so revenge is a factor here. 

We're waiting to see if Carolina goes up to +3.5 and we're going to take that because Seattle is flying cross-country, playing early, and they play poorly on the road.  UPDATE: Carolina stuck on 3 so we're laying off.  

Another revenge game is Green Bay vs San Francisco because the 49ers completely annihilated the Packers in the playoffs last year.  Just look at what Peyton Manning Thursday after losing to Baltimore in the playoffs, they were passing with a big lead late in the 4th quarter.  The Packers are the best team in the NFC and they're getting points - that won't happen agin this year - take advantage.  

Arizona has a new coach and they're on the road.  St. Louis isn't anything special but they should be able to handle Arizona at home and end their opening game losing streak.

I told Mr. Pig that maybe Sean Payton is going to return to the NFL, after being suspended for a year in Bountygate, with a vengeance and might be looking to smash everything in his way, it happens to be the Falcons.  Drew Brees threw a career-high 5 interceptions last game vs Atlanta.

In the contest, four guys are already below 10,000 units (20,000 to start) and one of them is around 2000 and nearly out.  We're currently tied for third after going 4-1 yesterday, but that means nothing right now.

Pittsburgh -6.5 2200 LOSS

Green Bay +4.5 2200 LOSS

St. Louis -4 1100
New Orleans -3 1100 WIN
