I would be open to starting one that involves the game lines and posters can pick up to four games a week. I'm not sure how popular that would be. The normal pick em would be too time consuming for me at the moment.

This game has the potential to be very good.

How much do you think Denver wins by?

It looks like Peyton Manning will most likely sit out week one. He has stopped practicing and will rest.

I think the game will be close and go either way, my gut just says Denver.

With Manning doubtful the Texans are now 9 point favorites and it could get up to 10 by the end of the day. No player listed as doubtful in the official injury report wound up playing that week in 2010. They took the +/- off too.

PIT/BAL and CIN/CLE have the same +/- at 36.5, The first game is all about great defense, the second game is all about awful offense. Funny how that plays out in the same division. I like the under in both games.

Teasing my picks, which will be up on the main page tomorrow night:
Toughest game for me to pick is NYG/WAS. OAK/DEN is a tossup too.

Lock is ARI over CAR.
Upset special is STL over PHI straight up, but I'll happily take the 4.5 points.

I teased Indy +19. I need the Giants to cover, New England and Arizona to win.

I intend on making more plays tonight or tomorrow.

Washington seems to be popular against the Giants, but I still like the Giants, and expect them to cover. What do you think about this game?

I have no idea what to expect from the Oakland and Denver game. I'm leaning towards Denver winning.

I don't see any reason not to use the Browns, Dalton first game and a horrible Bengals team. If the Bengals pull the upset Id say 60% of people would be eliminated.

Yeah my other considerations were Houston and Arizona, but I have a feeling there will be better times to use them later on. Last year I missed on the first week and then didn't miss again, hoping to change that this year.

Seriously, is everyone just going to hope the Eagles lose every week and pray for injuries?
