The Hedgie is off to a 1-0 start ...

The NFL is under way and we got a first hand look at some of the nuances we'll see.  The Chiefs started where they left off and dominated the Texans.  Typically the defenses will be ahead of the offenses at this stage especially with no preseason.  There were some UNDERS to be had earlier in the week but those lines  have come down.
 

  Here we go:

Falcons +1.5   1 star - The Falcons HC Dan Quinn was about to lose his job last year at 1-7. But the team rallied and finished strong with a 6-2 record.  Hedgie thinks this will carry over into week 1. The seahawks are getting alot of attention as a great road team and they were last yr. But Hedgie thinks this is a bad spot vs an overlooked Falcons team.

Panthers +3 1 star - This line has jumped from a pickem all the way to Las Vegas Raiders -3.  Not sure why.  Once again a team traveling across country for an early start tyically does not  fare well.  Panthers have a new look but Teddy Bridewater under center is a vet and is. 16-2 ATS as an underdog.  

Cardinals +7   2 stars - a divisional foe Hedgie thinks QB Murray will improve in his 2nd year and now has a superstar WR in Hopkins.  Word out of Cards camp is that the offense is humming at a very fast pace.  Super Bowl losers usually have a hangover and are 3-18 ATS week 1 of the following season

TEASER;  Packers +8.5. & Bears +8.5 -  NFC NORTH /Black & Blue Teaser - this will be a hard fought division and Hedgie loves grabbing points across key numbers like. 3,4,6,7....      1 star 

3 team 10 point UNDER TEASER -  1 star sticking with the theme that the defenses will be ahead of the offenses these 3 games fit nicely . young QBs vs strong defenses.  

   BILLS/JETS UNDER 49

  CHARGERS /BENGALS UNDER 51.5

 EAGS/ Washington UNDER 52
