Default NFL this week The Dogs will bark loudly!!!

I am usually pretty good at guessing what spreads will be on NFL games, usually within one point on an average with all games.
I was stunned at the spreads this week and think that there has been an overreaction to some big wins and losses this past week.
After week one, losing team's coaches usually make some adjustments in game plans and/or personnel and kick some serious ass in practice. Losers feel a sense of urgency not to go in the hole 0-2. Winners can sometimes lose that sense of urgency and let a win go their heads.
I see a LOT of dogs that I expect to bark and in my weekly pool club will be circling a boatload of dogs this week. Watch out, you are gonna have a lotta barking dogs with all that lumber the faves have to lay this week.

Those spreads blew my mind Gales. In all cases I had the right fave when I did my guesses but I wasnt even close on most games.
I mean Baltimore looked good and Oakland looked bad but 12 points?
I guess I can understand Indy being favored by that many but still, Houston played a tough Philly team last week and wasn't totally tragic, 14 points is a lotta lumber to lay.
Cincy was good as well but 10 points? Wow.
Same with Miami and Buffalo. Buffalo played pretty well in Foxboro againstthe Pats and 6 1/2 points seems a little excessive for Miami to be laying.
Same with Chicago and Detroit. Detroit sure looked good defensively holding the Seahawks to no touchdowns and for them to be getting 8 is insane. I mean beating the Packers aint exactly earth shattering stuff.
The philly-giants is on the money. Both teams look pretty equal to me and Philly is at home so 3 seems right.
I dunno how Atlanta goes to getting 6 from the Panthers to laying 6 to the Bucs after just one week. That seems excessive as well.
NO and green bay seems right.
St Louis San Fran does as well.
Seattle and Zona seems right also.
This one was mind boggling though, I know Green is out but Denver by 10 over Kc? You gotta be kidding me.
And how exactly does dallas lay 6 to the Skins? I cant figure that one out at all.
Pitt over Jacksonville in Jacksonville?

oak is the worst team in football...texas is close..with san fran.

your gonna have to lay big pts against these teams for the rest of the year.....week 1 is the best betting games....Vegas has Zero edge on you.
