3+1 NFL Challenge - 2006: Week 1

[MCS]

Falcons/Panthers under
Colts
Steelers
Browns


I agree that I don't like the numbers (as opposed to writing team names) so much. As mentioned earlier, it makes it harder to see the consensus.


Thanks so much, Homer. This is a fun contest and I'm glad you took over.

Chicago/GB over

Thanks for taking this over Homer. I really need to redeem myself after last year's implosion. So I'm looking to start off by going 0-4. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Steelers over Dolphins
Steelers are still a good team. Charlie Batch doesn't change the offense all that much. The defense will still be tough for a mediocre to poor Dolphins offensive line to handle. Culpepper looks like he has had an anchor strapped to his ass, killing that mobility that would have been helpful in this game. Steelers are still a 3 point favorite in my mind so you've got to take the value.

Lions+6.5 over Seahawks

Maranelli is a very good coach who will really toughen up the Lions this year. The Lions are going to play teams tough and surprise a lot of people. I'm also looking for a bit of a Superbowl hangover for the Seahawks. While I'm a bit scared of this matchup, I can't pass up 6.5 at home if I feel this way about both teams.

49ers +8 over Cards
This just reaks of a trap game to me. The 49ers are an improved team. Of course it would be hard not to improve from how awful they have been. They will jump up and bite a few people in the arse this year. Arizona has the whole new stadium and all of the distractions that go with opening week there.

Bears/Packers over

Huh, a Bears over? The Bears offense will be a bit more explosive this year and their defense will head back to the mean a bit. (and I say all of this as a Bears fan) There will be some very low unders early in the season and I plan on banging them for a few weeks.

Oh, to anyone that doesn't know, fade me like it is nobodies business.

Colts/Giants UNDER 48
Bengals/Chiefs UNDER 46.5
Broncos/Rams UNDER 45.5
Seahawks/Lions UNDER 45.5


Every year there are horrible Offensive errors during week one and surprising low scores.
I'm starting the year off with this most ridiculous of 'systematic picks', especially as preseason coverage has to be researched if you're from England, (rather than forcefed) and I'm not yet up to speed.

Rely on those uncoordinated new offenses to win me some money on the unders.

Thanks for running this Homer, I look forward to it every year.
