Above: The only place currently taking action on Eagles-Giants.
Not a big buildup here since I did Power Rankings yesterday. The Week 3 lines are out. Sort of. A bunch of games don't have lines right now, this usually means a quarterback is hurt. That's definitely the case in Eagles-Giants and Cowboys-Redskins. I don't know what's going on with the other ones.
Lions (-4, -105) over VIKINGS: Oooh! Hefty's going against the popular opinion (remember last week's discussion of -110 being the normal return on an evenly distributed bet...) for the first time all season. And maybe it's just me, but I didn't even feel like I was going out on a limb. Peterson is a monster, but Detroit's defensive line is one of the best in the league. We all know McNabb's tires are all out of tread. And yes, I know back in Week 1 I said Detroit was a bad road team, but it's time to start looking at this year's Lions team as a rebirth of a once awful franchise.
BROWNS (-3, +110) over Dolphins: This one's really going against the grain. A positive return means I stand to win $55 on my $50 bet. Neither of these teams really do anything that excites me, but I'll take my chances that the home team, who has one of the more intimidating home stadiums in the league at that, prevails in a battle of bad teams. Run, Peyton, Run.
BEARS (+4, -115) over Packers: The upset special. I like the Bears in this game outright, honestly. The bad blood is obvious, but last year's NFC Championship should still be fresh in the Bears minds. Packers secondary is banged up; they'll be without CB Tramon Williams, and S Nick Collins.
WEEK 2: 1-1-1, Bet $150, Claimed $141.67
SEASON: 2-2-2, Bet $300, Claimed $287.12, DOWN $12.88
