Just looking quickly, the lines I'd be the most tempted to take:

Cardinals OVER 9.5
Ravens OVER 8.5
Browns UNDER 4.5
Rams UNDER 7.5
Eagles UNDER 7.5
Redskins OVER 7.5

I might need to go take out some bets on the Cards, Ravens, and Rams...

I love the over on NE, Seattle, Carolina, Pittsburgh and Jacksonville.

It's hard for me to have a real good idea about teams I don't follow closely, but that Cards one seemed low. They have a tough schedule but I'd be real surprised if they won fewer than 10 unless Palmer goes down. Even with Palmer out two years ago and a lot of Stanton and even the third stringer they won 11, and now with guys like Chandler Jones, David Johnson and a more experienced Mathieu they have added some great pieces.

So far I have already put in 3 super bowl prop bets and have 3 overs bet to this point. I'm not done yet, however I already have 3 $50.00 overs. I took Jacksonville, Kansas City and Minnesota. I'm leaning towards a few unders, but haven't made up my mind as of yet. I can't see the Rams, Egals or 49ers doing much.

Yeah, I've got the Cardinals as the #1 team in my power rankings. If healthy they have no reason to not win at least 13 games. IF healthy. But I'd easily take the over on 9.5, possibly even on 10.5

The Rams are the easiest under for me. There's no way they get 8 wins this year. I think being in LA helped boost their line a bit, if they were still in St. Louis they probably be at 5.5

I wouldn't downplay them. I think 8 wins is fair. They always play tough division games. A pain in the *** to play. 8/9 wins is very realistic in my view. A lot of talent on that defense. Gurley is a freak.

but this will also be the first time road teams go to a place theyve never been.
That might be worth 3 games

I'm already counting week 2 (at the coliseum) a loss.

I think almost all division road games should be counted on as losses, unless you have a clearly elite team against what is clearly a bad team. For example, the Seahawks and Cards at the Niners I would probably count as wins. Division games against the Browns I'd probably count as wins for the other teams. The Titans and Jags have been the type of teams you could probably count on beating on the road in the division, but they will likely both be tougher this year (but so should Houston and Indy).

San Diego actually didn't win ANY division games for the first time I can remember in a long time last year. The year before they got swept by Denver and KC and swept Oakland. I'd be surprised if they lost all division games this year but I'd also be a little surprised if they won all the home ones.

That's fair.

I've got the Hawks going 11-5. Losses at Rams, at Jets, at AZ, at NE & at GB.

I think they likely will win a division game or two, likely at home, but probably not all of them. That was what I was saying.

I didn't realize the Hawks have such a tough schedule this year. I can think of at least one home loss to add to that list though :wink:

Really though, pretty brutal to draw road games against the Cards, Pats, and Packers in the same year.

Well, the Cards are a division opponent. Pat's & Packers is tough tho. AZ is getting such a huge break with Brady out. Smdh.

You ever bet on games? I used to a ton in college but cooled off for years before dabbling a bit the last couple years. Will just put small amounts of money on games or at halftime, but usually throw in one huge parlay and maybe a few smaller ones. Came on game short last year on several occasions of hitting 5, 6, or 7 game parlays.

They already have lines up for this week's preseason games and week on in the regular season. As I recall preseason used to be easy because some teams clearly wanted to win to develop a winning atmosphere (usually the bad ones) while others didn't care (usually the good ones). Not sure if any teams care much anymore, but have paid less attention.

Week one of regular season could be tough but big spreads makes me lean towards the underdog simply because teams have a while to prepare. Noticed Seattle is an 11 pt favorite in week one. Can't remember if it's a home game. Probably is.
