The guys took a beating last week as the Ravens spanked the Steelers 35-7. The Steelers had not lost an opening day game in 8 years, so sometimes, it goes to show you that trends can be busted. This week, with all the high scoring going on in the league, the guys look to bounce back with an over/under bet.
Dallas at San Francisco
Line: over/under 42.5
The Cowboys showed last week that they can go on the road, into a hostile environment and still put up good numbers. On the defensive side of the ball, the Cowboys still have a weakness in the secondary so the 49ers should be able to move the ball through the air while the Cowboys will do their share in scoring with their multitude of weapons.
Other trends to help with this pick.
Both teams went over last week and both teams are looking to score big this weekend. San Francisco has gone 4-0-1 over in their last 5 games in September and perfect 5-0 over in thier last 5 vs. NFC opponents. Meanwhile the Cowboys are 8-1 over in their last 9 games following a loss and 14-2 over in their last 16 games overall.
LOCK: OVER 42.5 (100 units)
Season Total: 900 units (-100 for the season)
i’m getting dallas -3 over here in the UK. surely Romo can find a way to cover that line.
@Howard – we like that line as well.
Locked in!
Rams @ Giants o/u 44 seems a tad high, as does Chiefs @ Lions o/u 45.
Bang!
Rams Giants line was spot on, and Chiefs Lions didn’t take account of Chiefs being absolutely rotten!
Week 3 – we’re getting Titans -7! Surely that’s crazy?!
