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.

I don't go crazy, but yes, I do my share of betting. I usually find 6 to 8 games I like each week and bet parlay, teases, etc,. I won the pick skin pickem vs. the spread in the group of 38 last year. I do some college from time to time as well.

We did a spread competition here last year and I think I finished around top 4, which was fairly close among top 4.

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.

I'd be very surprised it the Rams won more than 5 or 6 games. Your defense should feast bigtime with that QB situation, no O-line or WR's. please Cactus, nothing to worry about.

I have to worry about them. Especially the opener week 2. We got our *** handed to us last year. :(

My actual bets:
Dallas under. I'd take the under at 7 and still hit it hard. And I'm riding Zeke as OROY
Houston over
Indy under
SF under. Be shocked if they win more than 3
Washington over. D is better than advertised even if Cousins crashes back to being, well, Kirk Cousins
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look playing the game
