Week one of the NFL season has officially begun with the Broncos and Panthers playing on Thursday night, so we really can’t help ourselves and stop from looking at the Vegas lines of Sunday’s games. Can you blame us? For those that like friendly wagers, whether gentlemanly or not, you might want to take a read at what we have to say about the Vegas lines of week one’s games…
Tampa Bay (+3) might be the best play on the board this weekend with the Falcons having a lackluster offseason. Sure they added a great center, but they overpaid for a number two receiver and didn’t improve their defense with veterans. Some of the young new players on their defense should help the team, but more likely we won’t see that until the end of the season. Give us the Bucs and the points!
We’re huge fans of Aaron Rodgers and the Packers this season, so of course we’re chomping at the bit to make friendly wagers with our friends on this one. The Packers are 5.5-point favorites even on the road.
Arizona and New England play Sunday night in what we think will be a more wide open game than people think. Arizona is a 6-point favorite and we think they win by at least that much. Without Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski still battling injury, this Patriots’ offense will suffer against a great Cardinals’ defense.
