Inner Circle--Jacksonville + ****NFL Shocker of September
The Jags have come a long way, but despite a well-respected head coach, what appears to be a franchise quarterback and some big-name players on defense, many say it's their year to win the AFC South. The get to show everyone today by playing the Packers. The public (85%) is on the Packers side. This is why Wayne list this as a shocker. Watch Jags QB, Blake Bortles connect with WR's Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns. It's a toss up on which QB will outshine each other. I see 3 TD's and over 320 yards from each QB. Watch the Jacksonville defense get to Aaron Rodgers multiple times with blitz packages. Generally speaking, you don't begin to see your best game plans in week one. Laying 6 points is crazy on the road. Just follow the money trail which shows the bigger bets are on Jacksonville and the smaller bets are on the Packers made by the public. The Jags have many different ways to stay in this game and cover the spread.

Pinnacle--Dallas - ***NFL Opening Week Game of Year
Preseason means very little but the Cowboys did manage to put up a 25 ppg and will begin this season with the NFL's best offense. The Giants stunk last year on the defensive side so they burnt up their checkbook in the off season. But the chemistry is not there yet. Preseason was a disaster scoring 48 points and their new found defense giving up 77 points. Additionally, NYG have some issues on the offensive side which could impact Eli Manning early in the season beginning with this game. A long story short: The Giants defense is as bad as the Cowboys offense is good. I doubt that Dallas is ever behind during the entire game. This win will surprise many on how easy and how much control they made it look. Rookie Ezekiel Elliot for Big D will amaze the league with his opening act today. The Mississippi State product completed 78 percent of his passes over four games and looked remarkably poised in the pocket operating head coach Jason Garrett’s offense. The Dallas offensive line can certainly help take a load off of their quarterback and the combination of Jason Witten and Dez Bryant will do enough to keep the defense from loading the box to stop Ezekiel Elliott and Alfred Morris at running back. Stick with the Dallas momentum and watch a masterpiece today.
