A couple of wagers i'm making for opening week in the NFL

[dougie]

Here's my first two bets for opening week.....

Falcons at Steelers Under 42.5
After watching Tua in the pre-season, I think you can expect very little points coming out of Atlanta.
The Steelers defense is tougher than people think.
$100 on the under 42.5
Steelers 20-13

Bills at Texans (-1.5)
Bill live underdogs against the Texans this week.
I have the Bills going 14-3 and winning the AFC title.
$100 on the Bills +1.5 to win outright
Bills 27-17

Good luck everyone this week!

A good start to the season! It a long way to the Super Bowl!!!!!

It's difficult to get fired up early in the season because a single injury to a single person can derail a team. Good luck to all involved!

Yes, I was just happy to cash both those bets. I'm a Chiefs fan but wouldn't touch them against Denver this past Monday.

With the expanded wagering formats these days and incentive laden contracts, I have to wonder how many players continue to say that they are not injured or sick in order to meet certain incentive clauses in their contracts. I'm inclined to believe that this happens!
