NFL Every (Rest Of) Game on The Board

Below are our remaining “Unofficial Line Picks for Shits and Giggles” along with the opening and current lines so you can see if you’re getting “the best of it.”  These are the games we didn't have any official position on.  You can find our official positions here.  Again, we aren’t backing these positions with our own money, but its good to at least look at every game on the board.

New Orleans @ Green Bay

Opening Line: Green Bay -5

Current Line: Green Bay -4.5

Unofficial Line Pick for S&G: Green Bay-4.5

The defending Super Bowl Champs are undefeated in the NFL Kickoff Game.  The line is a little too high for us to back the Saints, but we don’t want to go against that trend.

Detroit @ Tampa Bay

Opening Line: Tampa Bay -3

Current Line: Tampa Bay -1

Unofficial Line Pick for S&G: Tampa Bay -1

This game feels like a toss-up to us, but we’d rather back the home team against a team that may have a just weee bit too much hype.

Buffalo @ Kansas City

Opening Line: Kansas City -6.5

Current Line: Kansas City -6

Unofficial Line Pick for S&G: Buffalo +6

Some of this line movement is due to Matt Cassell’s injured ribs.  Having injured our ribs in the past we’ll take Buffalo.  That injury doesn’t go away quick.  Also, Ryan Fitzpatrick is a bit underrated in our opinion.

Indianapolis @ Houston

Opening Line: Indianapolis -1

Current Line: Houston -9

Unofficial Line Pick for S&G: Houston -9

Hmmm, why did this line move?  Some Manning guy?  We’re not backing Houston as we have no clue how Indy will respond, but certainly wouldn’t back them either.

Philadelphia @ St. Louis

Opening Line: Philadelphia -4.5

Current Line: Philadelphia -4.5

Unofficial Line Pick for S&G: St. Louis +4.5

We saw this line hit 5.5 at one point this summer and are hearing Philadelphia (unsurprisingly) is receiving a lot of love from the public.  If this line is somehow driven up to a touchdown, look for us to play the Rams.  Assuming that’s the case we’ll release the play on Twitter along with where we able to get down on the Rams getting a touchdown.

Seattle @ San Francisco

Opening Line: San Fran -6.5

Current Line: San Fran -5.5

Unofficial Line Pick for S&G: San Fran -5.5

I have absolutely no idea how either of these teams will perform.  Both of their quarterback situations are a mess and both weren’t very good last year.  I’d rather not back Tavaris Jackson or Charlie Whitehurst on the road, though.

Dallas @ New York Jets

Opening Line: New York Jets -4

Current Line: New York Jets -4

Unofficial Line Pick for S&G: New York Jets -4

Another sharp line in our opinion, but if we’re just picking we’d like to root for New York on 9/11’s 10^th Anniversary.

New England @ Miami (Monday Night)

Opening Line: New England -3.5

Current Line: New England -7

Unofficial Line Pick for S&G: New England -7

For the last game we leave you with the perfect example of buying high on a Week 1 game.  We would have loved to have taken New England at 3.5, 4, or even 6.  However, at this time the line has been pushed just too high.  We wish we would have had our act together earlier in the summer and been able to get down on this at the opening line.  Sadly, we didn’t and now can’t justify laying 7 with our own money when we could have a lot better lines.
