AZ over would be brave, IMO...Denny Green is crafty, but the injury situation would still concern me. I clocked them at 4.7 wins yesterday, including a guess that they will improve as the year progresses.
I bet Eagles under 10.5 +120. Owens might score 20 TDs, but injuries to THIS group as well may be the key. They were both well-coached AND a bit lucky to overcome injuries last year, but that's not something you want to bet on. Weakish NFC this year - it seems - so 9 wins is likely to get Eagles in to playoffs, maybe winning division. 10 wins a real chance, but 11+ feels like a mild stretch.
I bet Lions under 6 wins at +280, then +260 at Olympic. That's a bushel of vig, probably equating to under 7.5 even$. I like Mooch, I like the offenisve players assembled, but they are VERY young at key positions and Harrington is still a bit of a ?. Defense has big LB problem. Two years out is when this group could really gel. Schedule is not that attractive - how many road wins will they get? One is possible, even if it is their first one at Chicago. Three would surprise a bit.
Cowboys tough schedule and Vinny MUST stay healthy. IFF he does, I wouldn't buck Parcells. This team is cohesive and has "the faith."

The Tuna is probably the best coach the NFL has ever seen - he knows how to use what he has as he molds the team into what he wants.
That defense is very solid, and Vinnie will last a long time if the ball is rushed every other play. I see the playoffs again for the Tuna.
