Sunday, September 11, 1:00 p.m. ET
\nWeek 1 NFL gambling favorite: Chiefs -6.5<\/strong><\/p>\nThis pick isn\u2019t nearly as easy as it looks, as a 6.5-point spread during Week 1 is always a bit suspect. You never know what bottom feeder will suddenly become a contender. It happens every year. Look at Kansas City and Tampa last season. ![\"\"](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Week-1-NFL-Gambling-Odds.jpg\" "\\"Week")
Week 1 NFL Gambling Odds<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\nStill, I think the Chiefs can pull off the Week-1 rout. Arrowhead Stadium is a very difficult place to play and the fans should be extra enthusiastic with high expectations for 2011. Jamaal Charles seems primed for an MVP-caliber season and he might go off against a Bills defense that was by far the NFL\u2019s worst against the run last season. Marcell Dareus will help but probably not right away.<\/p>\n
Pick: Chiefs -6.5<\/strong><\/p>\nIndianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans<\/h3>\n
Sunday, September 11, 1:00 p.m. ET
\nWeek 1 NFL gambling favorite: Colts -1<\/strong><\/p>\nI think the Colts\u2019 great demise begins in Week 1 at Houston. In the Texans\u2019 favor: (a) Peyton Manning is returning from an offseason neck surgery that reportedly isn\u2019t healing well; (b) they stomped on Indy to open last season on the strength of Arian Foster\u2019s legs. That free-agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha is reportedly considering Houston as a place to sign is just gravy. This may be Houston\u2019s year to finally take the AFC South, not necessarily because it will improve, but because Indianapolis will regress.<\/p>\n
Pick: Texans +1<\/strong><\/p>\nPhiladelphia Eagles @ St. Louis Rams<\/h3>\n
Sunday, September 11, 1:00 p.m. ET
\nWeek 1 NFL gambling favorite: Eagles -4.5<\/strong><\/p>\nThe St. Louis Rams should be an improved team this season. I\u2019m especially excited to see what new offensive co-ordinator Josh McDaniels can do with blue-chip quarterback Sam Bradford, the reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.<\/p>\n
However, the Philadelphia Eagles under Michael Vick\u2019s guidance for a full season look like a scary bunch. Even scarier in Week 1 on turf. And even scarier against a St. Louis \u201cD\u201d that is still a work in progress. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see fireworks at both ends of the field in this one. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n
Vick seems to relish disappointing opposing teams\u2019 fans. On the road last season, he had 16 touchdown passes versus four interceptions and averaged 7.2 yards per carry in six games.<\/p>\n
Pick: Eagles -4.5<\/strong><\/p>\nCincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns<\/h3>\n
Sunday, September 11, 1:00 p.m. ET
\nWeek 1 NFL gambling favorite: Browns -3<\/strong><\/p>\nIt\u2019s strange to see the Cleveland Browns favored to win a football game, but the oddsmakers are correct here. The Bengals\u2019 quarterbacking situation alone is enough to make them underdogs. Who will throw the ball on September 11? Rookie Andy Dalton? Career backup quarterback Jordan Palmer, brother of the departing Carson?<\/p>\n
The Cleveland Browns still have a long way to go before they contend but they\u2019ve gradually added talent on both sides of the ball. This year, they beefed up their defensive line with Phil Taylor and Jabaal Sheard. Last season, they added Joe Haden to the secondary and Colt McCoy at quarterback. Assuming Peyton Hillis doesn\u2019t succumb to the Madden Curse in Week 1, he should do some damage against a Bengals \u201cD\u201d that was average at best versus the run last season.<\/p>\n
