Looking at the early lines for week 1 of the regular season there appears to be several juicy dogs.
Ind +10 @ Chi - Huge line for Chicago to cover early on against a team who's offense may be underrated. Chicago will have 2 new starting wideouts, a suspect OL which may not have improved over last year and possibly a less than 100% Brian Urlacher.
Buf +3.5 @ NYJ - The Jets have a shaky QB situation, a shaky RB situation, a shaky WR situation. Heck, I think Buffalo may be the better team this year, definitely on offense and very possibly on defense.
Jax +4.5 @ Min - Are you serious? Min a 4.5 pt favorite? Who do they have besides Percy Harvin? Adrian Peterson will probably not be ready to go 100%. Jerome Simpson will be serving a 3 game suspension, rookie Greg Childs is out for the year. They only won 3 games last year and gave up less than 22 pts just twice, once the last game of the season to the McCown-led Bears.
SF +6.5 @ GB - SF lost 4 games last year, one by 2 pts, two by 3 pts in OT and the other they were tied going into the 4th Q.
Was +9.5 @ NO - The Saints defense has been depleted due to suspension, HC and play caller Sean Payton has been suspended for the year. The Redskins have a decent defense and likely an underrated offense. A huge line considering.
