That is their season.
I like the Patriots pick I think they cover that easily.
And of course the Chiefs pick is wrong I hope ...

That's why the Colts spread is so high. The Texans beat the Colts in the opener last year by 10 points WITH Manning in there. The Colts beat them later by 13. I think spread is too high now, though. Kerry Collins isn't close to Manning, but he's not the worst QB, either. The Colts still have a lot of weapons on offense. There is talent on that team, and they know they have to give 110% with Manning out. I don't know about this year, but the Texans had the worst pass defense in the NFL last year. They may have trouble with their switch of defensive schemes out of the gate. Arian Foster is questionable, which could be big. Could be a trap game for the Texans, and they may not be as motivated in this game with Manning out and them expecting to win. Maybe.

I feel good about the Patriots spread - I think that's my best pick too, which is why it'll be the one that probably kills me. As far as the Bills pick goes...well, you know how that goes. I think +6.5 points is enough to cover...I obviously think that. We are talking about money here. The Bills could lose by six points, and I'd still win. Could be a close game.

I always play 4 teamers.
IT's like that for me also.
Lose on the 1st game I circle, the sure thing. And end up winning the 4th
game I thought was iffy picking a 7 point dog who wins out right.
Years ago my friend and I are looking over a parlay and his sister walks in the room and says " I want to play one too"
She proceeds to pick SF because she liked the restaurants..Another team because she liked their symphony...Against another team because she got stuck at their airport. My buddy and I were laughing.
So of course what happens she wins my friend and I lost 3 of 4 on each of ours.
And just to piss us off she would break out the money she won and count it in front of us.
