Football is back! Walt, what do you think of Jim Mora commenting on the Falcons game? Oh and I made a few bets this weekend...

2u (for all bets except the final one)

SF-3
DET+6 (debating about a unit on the ML)
CAR +7
DEN ML (+120)
Ravens ML (+120)

3u BUF ML (+165)

ALso put future wagers on

4u Indy over 11
4u KC under 6.5
9u on AZ under 7.5

What do you think?

I like it. Good luck. And Jim Mora is a loser, hopefully he'll provide some unintentional amusing comments.

What's your reasoning with Bills +165? I agree with it, but wanted to hear why you like them being a Dolphins fan.

The Dolphins suck in Buffalo. Crowder is probably out (surprise!) and Long is playing nicked up. We are playing Jason Allen and Barbie Carpenter may be playing as well (its a 2006 1st round draft bust party (where is McCargo?)). The main thing that did it was that Parcells handed over controls of the Dolphins to Ireland and the peculiar timing of it may distract the team (Sparanois sick of the questions) and I remember the rule of organizational shake ups right before a game. Also, I am a pessismist by nature

This is what I'm hoping for:

1. Dolphins lose in Buffalo
2. Vikings lose close, tough game at New Orleans
3. Vegas inflates the Dolphins at Vikings line toward Minnesota
4. Bet the house on Dolphins in Week 2

Nah, the Dolphins season will look suspiciously like 2008. Lose to a crappy divisional team, then get blown out on the road by a NFC team. Then beat an overhyped team at home.

The line for the week 2 Fins game is MIN -5, which is way too low.

Was my reasoning sound?

What are your ML picks this week?

Yeah it was.

I could see the Week 2 line being Vikings -7 or -7.5. Trust me, the Dolphins will be a great play in Week 2 if all goes according to plan.
