Bet Your Haus Winners!!

2011 NFL Week 1

Well Haus starts this year of football betting anew. And that little 16-20 record ATS, do not worry about that little guy. I picked the Super Bowl dangerously close and I am fired up for this year. Well I do not want to write too much so we will just get into this. I have a couple of dogs in here for ya too.

Detroit (+1½) over Tampa Bay

I totally freaking hate how the media will hype up a team or player and everyone in the country starts drinking that teams kool-aid. That being said, I am all up in the Lions kool-aid and I have a huge man-crush on my boy Megatron Johnson. And do not get me started on that D-Line of theirs. Suh, Fairley and Vanden Bosch are scary, scary men. If Mathew Stafford can stay healthy, I expect them to challenge the Packers for the NFC North. Yea, I said it.

Take the Lions and lay the points, 24-23.

Houston (-8½) over Indy

This one is like taking vegetables from me. That Colts team without Manning should start each game losing by two touchdowns. No analysis needed.

Texans blowout the Colts, 39-20.

St. Louis (+4) over Philadelphia

The Rams are another one of my playoff teams this year. Sam Bradford is real and their defensive line is very good. And at the same time, I am not buying the Eagles and there “Dream Team” just yet. If you remember at the end of last year, Michael Vick struggled against athletic blitzers and the Eagles O-Line is completely different and untested. I think the Eagles win this game, but I am not buying them this year.

St. Louis loses but take the points, 27-24.

Dallas (+6½) over the New York Jets

Yes we all know that I hate Dallas, but I hate the Jets almost as much. I do not like Mark Sanchez as a QB right now and while the Jets have a stout D, Sanchez's offense is not good enough to overcome almost a TD against the spread. It is going to be crazy in New York on 9/11 and I think the Jets are have a nice come from behind win. Late FG wins it, but gimme those points and the Cowboys.

Dallas plus the points in a 23-26 loss.

New England (+7) over Miami

Tom Brady vs. Chad Henne....

New England covers, 38-24.
