after one season of real wagering under my belt (finished at +10 units last season)One unit for me = 50 rocks. Im ready to do it again. Anyway... the beginning of the season always seems to be the easiest as far as the NFL and NCAA fb goes. Last year first week I was up 16 units, thinking I was on top of the world then I got brought back down to earth the next 6 weeks (haha). We got a lot of good matchups this week, but Im really looking at this colts/saints game on thursday.

The line this week has hovered around 6, and I think the public is obviously gonna be all over the colts. Im looking to buy 1.5 and take the saints +7.5, if its available.

The rest of the week one schedule, complete with spread and totals (some site called footballlocks.com, couldnt really line this shit up right):

Date & Time Favorite Line Underdog Total

9/6 8:30 ET At Indianapolis -5.5 New Orleans 52.5

fantasy and betting have ruined the inherent joy of watching a football game the normal way, or back when you were a shorty doo wop

Hey, by the way who's Curt?

I like over 53 tonite and saints +6


also cfb. im betting cinn +3.5 and over 45
louisville -41.5

im tempted to go against louisville but thery're at home and last year they let them get a little close before blowing them out and i believe they will remember and put a beatdown on mtsu.

and i wouldn't have it any other way.

$ on the line. players to root for and tons of beer and wings.

my sentiments exactly. good lookin out on the anchor appreciate it. it was very necessary.

give me the colts -6 tonight. while I agree it will be a shootout, I think the colts win by a TD. should be a fun game to watch on that dome turf. I fuckin hate the colts but I gotta be logical here, colts are the play.

_________________

yeah I rap, who doesn't????

I could watch that punter get pwned all day.

I took the Colts -5.5

@ Home on opening night. Wayne is going to go bonkers.

I do think Saints will put up some points. Bush should have a nice night, but I'm not 100% sold on the NO WR's and I think Colts can win by 10 points.

i didn't like any side in tonight's game. so i made an action play on Under 53.5.

wow alpha losin big twice haha @ Louisville being up 38 - 35 at the half.. better luck sunday holmes.

So far 2 outta 3 ain't bad. Lets hope Bush can put up some yards before the game is over. Wayne always comes alive in the 2nd half.

^I like the Steelers, Eagles, Lina and Oakland of those games.

My favorite pick of the week is Washington somehow only giving 3 to Miami. Then Philly.

A bit of a homer pick but I do think 6 is too much for the Giants to be getting.

And call me crazy but I kind of like Tampa getting 6 in Seattle.

I got Arizona monday night, Tennessee with the points, and da birds. killer 3 team teaser

My locks of the week

Oakland's defense was nowhere near as bas as you're making them out to be.. The one guy on their team with the goofy name led the league in picks last year..

Who said anything about their defense? As a whole, the team is pathetic. They have bum players. Even if their D does well, how are they going to put up a lot of points? The Lions have Kitna throwing to Williams and Johnson plus Bell has A LOT to prove if he wants to play or even take over as #1 when KJ comes back.
