What a year for the sin of gambling! The gates on sports betting have been battered down http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-graham-glasgow-jersey , and now if you want to put down figures on a sleazy Thursday night football game, you don’t need to go to Nevada—a land of fading music acts smelling vaguely of minty beef stew. Instead, you can go to Atlantic City! Just what we the doctor ordered.We’re going to check the lines all year long and give you exactly what you need to make a considerable amount of money. No guarantees, no promises, and if you don’t hold me to it I won’t hold you to this baseball bat neither. Now let’s make some picks.Season record: 0-0. All beginnings are endings, all endings are also endings.ATL +1.5 @ PHIThere’s something reassuring, cosmic even, that even a team like the Philadelphia Eagles can win a Super Bowl and immediately fall to injuries and doubt. Somehow I don’t think the Nick Foles cycle continues much longer here, but just enough to give them a taste. Good things just don’t get to happen to teams in the NFC.The past three kickoff games have failed to see the defending champions cover the spread Youth Darius Slay Jr Jersey , and you shouldn’t expect too much different this week. Movement on this line is watching bettors run away from Philadelphia.PIT -4 @ CLEAre you worried about Le’Veon Bell’s holdout hamstringing the Steelers offense? Well you shouldn’t be! Asides from the fact that it’s not proper for any working soul to begrudge a man demanding proper compensation for his labor, the Steelers were without Bell in 2015 and did just fine. In 10 matches without him, Pittsburgh averaged 31.9 points per game.MIN vs. SF under 46In time betting the under will vanish from this fair earth, all manner of disagreements resolved, the winter of our discontent and things of that nature. But in this case, I’m happy to think highly of Minnesota’s defense and San Francisco’s struggle to get the offense running will translate into a low-scoring affair.MIA +1.5 vs. TENHome dogs are nice early on in the year, or so I like to believe.CAR -3 vs. DALCall this one a gut play. I see a lot of numbers sites and wise guys liking Carolina and I can’t explain why. I’ll take the Panthers.DEN -3 vs. SEAYou should read this piece by Justis Mosqueda about how Denver is a death trap early in the season. 85 percent winning in the first two weeks is insane, and it’s not a trend limited to just years where they were juggernauts.NYJ +6.5 @ DETI don’t see the value of spotting short of a touchdown to the Lions, but this line has held steady through the week. That’s in spite of all the news that has come for both teams. It’s properly curious for a primetime game. I smell a trap Womens Michael Roberts Jersey , but this is the first round of picks and I’d be a fool not to include Detroit in here.All the restI just said I hate betting the under, right? It’s a terrible thing, rooting for football to be constrained in numerical functionality. But given the new helmet rules and some particularly curious matchups paired with high totals, there’s a good trend here to take the snake and call it short. I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean.IND -3 vs. CINOAK vs. LAR under 49.5KC +3.5 @ LACBAL vs. BUF over 40.5ARI -1 vs. WASNE -6.5 vs. HOUGB vs. CHI under 47.5NO vs. TB under 49.5NYG +3 vs. JAX Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers wasn’t happy with the way the offense performed in last Sunday’s 22-0 win over the Bills and injuries could impact hopes for a better effort in Week Five.Rodgers’ knee kept him out of another Wednesday practice and he was joined on the side by two of the team’s wideouts. Randall Cobb remains out with the hamstring injury that kept him from playing against Buffalo and Geronimo Allison is in the concussion protocol.In addition to those absences, the Packers listed wide receiver Davante Adams as limited by a calf injury and tight end Jimmy Graham didn’t practice. Graham usually sits out Wednesdays to rest his knee, but the rest of the list suggests there will be some scrambling for the Packers this weekend.McCarthy said at his press conference that he has “great confidence” rookie wide receivers Marquez Valdez-Scantling, J'Mon Moore and Equanimeous St. Brown can step up if called upon against the Lions. Valdez-Scantling has played 74 offensive snaps, Moore has seen 11 and St. Brown is yet to see the field on offense.
