Minnesota vs Cleveland
5-Units Minnesota (-3.5)
@ 5Dimes
Analysis:
The 2009 season has finally arrived and with all the off season adjustments, in the end there will still only be one team left standing. While all teams feel they have made progress to increase their chances of not only making the SuperBowl, but also the ability to win SuperBowl, the Vikings feel exceptionally confident now that they have a proven quarterback to lead the way. The missing piece of the puzzle has been the opinion of most football critics. The Vikings have a stellar defense that had proved that despite the mishaps of their offense, the defense could still win games. In addition, the Vikings have one of the most prolific running backs in the league that will now have a balance with the passing game. Overall, the Vikings put themselves in a formidable position to improve on last season's success to make it back to the post season. Cleveland on the other hand has finally decided that Brady Quinn will be their starting quarterback after much cloak and dagger by new head coach Eric Mangini. Yet, Cleveland has lost a lot over the post season to suggest their season will not be much different than any of their former seasons. Cleveland is without their outstanding wide receiver Donte Stallworth, who suspended by the league after pleading guilty to a DUI manslaughter charge. The Browns also lost stellar tightend Kellen Winslow to Tampa Bay. Not to mention, Cleveland also is in the same conference as the defending SuperBowl Champions Pittsburgh Steelers and notable defensive powerhouse Baltimore, which means every game is going to weigh heavily in this competitive conference. Despite all the adjustments, Minnesota has the overall superiority over Cleveland. Cleveland is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 season openers. Cleveland is also 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 games played at home. Unfortunately for Browns fans, there simply was not enough adjustments made this offseason to counter this match up with the Vikings. As such, the play of the day is Minnesota (-3.5)!!!

andrew morris - cincinnati -4.5 -
I really like this Bengals team this year. Despite a poor year, their defense really started to pick it up towards the end of last year. Through the draft and free agency, they bolstered this core to the point...yes I'll say it...I think they could make the playoffs this year. Re-insert a healthy Carson Palmer, a steady ground game with a reborn Cedric Benson, I think this team wins comfortably today. Oh yea, I think Denver is a lost franchise right now.

randy woods(pingpongfool) - 2** Jacksonville @ Indianapolis -6.5 -110Today we have the Jags coming to Indy. The Colts are the much better team and I think they will cover the spread by 10 or more points. If I were Jacksonville I would try to keep the ball out of Peyton Mannings hand. Jacksonville does have a bigger O line than the Colts D line. Look for the Colts to try to create lots of turnovers. Basically, the Jags are just going to try to keep pace with the Colts. I'm not saying this will be a high scoring game but I like the Colts chances to cover the spread in there season opener. Let's cash in on this easy money.

Yesterday the Bonus Play came in as Uconn held the Carolina offense down and almost won outright as 5 pt dogs. This brings the Bonus Play run to 8-4. As the opening day of NFL is upon us my Bonus Play focus is still on the MLB where I think more value can be found. Especially once the NFL hits. Garza has owned the sox in his career. He is 2-0 vs them this year and 5-1 lifetime. He always gets up for them. On the road this year the under is 11-1 in Garza's games. Buccholz since the trading deadline passed has been exactly what the sox have ben waiting for. He has 6 of 7 QS with the last 3 starts having a 1.69 ERA. Tampa's offense had been putrid lately as 7 of their last 9 games they have hit .210 or below as a team. If Garza has his usual start vs the sox, then this one should be a 3-2 game.
good luck to all,

Chris Jordan Analysis
1000♦ BALTIMORE RAVENS - Boy did I tussle with this one. And not because I was worried whether or not the Ravens would cover this game, but with the rating. I’m a staunch believer of money management, I really am. I don’t chase, I’m more conservative than I should be and I most certainly know how to build a bankroll rather than ruin one. I’m so confident in the Ravens’ chances today, I just can’t let an opportunity slip by right now, not with how much I am down on the Chiefs this season.
Let me start by saying that I think Todd Haley is going to fail miserably as a head coach in Kansas City. It’s not his time, this was not the place for him to come and rebuild and his offensive expertise certainly is not going to mesh with Matt Cassel the way people in BBQ country might believe. Things can’t be going to well, since he fired offensive coordinator Chan Gailey last week, right? He wants complete control, and he gets a chance to show his stuff against one of the toughest defenses in the league.
Granted, he did a great job in getting Arizona to the Super Bowl last season, and almost was part of a championship team, if not for Santonio Holmes’ tremendous catch in the corner of the end zone. But you know, you have to wonder just how great a job he actually did, as the Cardinals put up 23 points – nine of which came on field goals. And, he also had some world-class talent in Phoenix; with the Chiefs, he doesn’t even know if he’s starting Cassel. Quite frankly, if his prize catch during the off-season is a game-time decision, why even start him against a defense that boasts the likes of Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Terrell Suggs … seriously? Cassel suffered an MCL strain in the team's third preseason game – two weeks ago – and you have to ask yourself: “Do I want my franchise ticket running around, avoiding this ferocious defense?”
If Cassel can't go, the starter for the Chiefs is probably going to be injury-plagued and inconsistent signal-caller Brodie Croyle, who has gone 0-8 as the Kansas City starter over the past two seasons. For the record, none of Kansas City’s quarterbacks played well during the preseason, in which the Chiefs scored an NFL-worst 42 points and scored just two offensive touchdowns.
I’m sorry, but again, I have to make it worth my while with this pick and go for the gusto with the Ravens, who have made some major changes of their own, in replacing defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, who is now in New York, coaching the Jets. And while this could be conceivably a concern, you have to relax the anxiety since we’re talking about a veteran lineup that has been tight-knit for quite some time. Besides, when you have a guy like Lewis, you know the defense is coming in with the mentality it has something to prove immediately.
Now, that all being said … how do we cover this thing?
I’ve been a fan of Joe Flacco since he was with Delaware, believe it or not. I remember when he led his team to the championship against Appalachian State and made everyone aware of his talents. I called for him to be one of the best quarterbacks that will be drafted. Now the Ravens have a legitimate strong-armed quarterback who has familiar faces lining up wide – Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton – and one of the most rugged tight ends coming off the line in Todd Heap.
Surprisingly said, since it’s a rarity to talk about an offense in Baltimore, the outcome of this game depends solely on the Chiefs’ ability to defend. And there’s a new coach there too, as Haley has Clancy Pendergast trying to implement the popular 3-4 scheme to a defense that finished last in the NFL last season with a paltry 10 sacks. And against the run, the Chiefs finished a miserable 30th in the league a year ago.
Let’s wrap this up, cause the bottom line is this is a Kansas City offense that will fail to move the ball; an offense that no matter who is under center, is going to feel the heat with a relatively ‘green’ offensive line; a Kansas City defense that may have some positive moments but will also see Flacco come up with some big plays at the right time. The points will add up, that’s a given. In fact, I think the Ravens will get close to the 30s.
How’s about a 27-10 final? The Chiefs score late to make it respectable in a 17-point loss.
