the only one that stands out so far is SF at -6.5, which i believe to be a steal..

Week 2 lines and totals

I would take Dallas at -3, I think it's going to be a long day for Russell Wilson.

i'm staying away from this one

I dunno. Everyone seems high on Dallas after that win over the Giants. The Giants were 9-7 last year and got hot at the right time. Not a juggernaut like most people think after that superbowl run.

Seattle is a TOUGH place to play, and they've beaten some much better teams there (see Saints playoff game two years ago).

Top that with the fact that this is Dallas' second consecutive road trip across the country. Don't underestimate how that affects these players.

I'd be wary of betting Dallas. If people load up on Big D, I may take Seattle and the points.

1) No one is "due for" anything
2) One of what games?

I want to jump on that saints line, but after last week I'm not so sure. They nearly beat us at their place last year when we didn't have all the drama.

Anyone know why that Texans line is so low? Seems like they should crush Jacksonville.

Does anyone else not like St Louis getting 3 at home after RGIII had an enormous game? I dont love it, but I like it.

I also like Miami. I know they are terrible, but a West Coast team traveling to the East Coast always has problems.

If I were a gambling man, I would stay clear of divisional games. Those Saints and Texans lines are examples of it.

Games like last night's Raven's win are less common than we often realize. Divisional opponents have a great deal of familiarity and their rosters are often built with divisional matchups in mind. Thus, those games tend to be closer than expected and strange "upsets" seem to occur more frequently.

Good point. Very good point.

Saints defense looked like the absolute worst in the NFL.

I'm not keen on St Louis generally, but they went on the ROAD to detroit and picked Stafford 3 times and kept the score low, which doesn't seem easy considering the potency of that offense.

They will get a rookie QB, at home, taking his 2nd road trip in 2 weeks. I'm gonna wait to see the line movement on this one, but I have a feeling the money will be pouring in on the Redskins.

Honestly, taking Carolina +2.5 is $$$ IMO

I'm actually hoping someone starts hammering the Saints so the line goes up.
