Article:Football Crack's Kickoff Sunday Spread Picks

There’s really no introduction necessary for this. Basically, if you can’t figure out what this is all about then you shouldn’t be betting on football. All I can really say about the whole thing is that it’s better to be late than to never be at all. How’s that for philosophical stuff heading into kickoff Sunday?

Note: I am not guaranteeing shit for these. If you bet these to a T and lose money, well, that’s your problem. I’m shooting for 60% accuracy the whole season and those aren’t good odds to follow. They’re best used as supplementary confirmations of spreads you’ve already picked.

One more note: The ones in bold are extra-tasty.

The picks:

Atlanta (+2.5) over Detroit

A solid run game at home against the Lions defense, plus points? Yes, please.

Seattle (+0.5) over Buffalo

As long as Hasselbeck is healthy..

Jacksonville (-3.5) over Tennessee

Is an explanation really even necessary?

N.Y.J. (-2.5) over Miami

I can’t believe this line wasn’t higher.

New England (-16.5) over Kansas City

This line is deceiving at first glance, but if you take the time and think about it, you should come to the logical conclusion.

New Orleans (-3.5) over Tampa Bay

Another line that I couldn’t believe wasn’t higher.

Philadelphia (-7.5) over St. Louis

I smell a beat down…

Pittsburgh (-6.5) over Houston

Rashard Mendenhall’s breakout party.

Cincinnati (+0.5) over Baltimore

Wait a second. The Bengals are GETTING points?

Carolina (+9.5) over San Diego

Jump on the Panthers bandwagon now before the lines start shrinking.

San Francisco (+2.5) over Arizona

This was a toss-up really. Could go either way.

Dallas (-3.5) over Cleveland

And we’re SURE the Browns are the real deal, right?

Indianapolis (-9.5) over Chicago

See the Patriots explanation.

Minnesota (+2.5) over Green Bay

Aaron Rodgers’ first start and he’s GETTING points?

Denver (-1.5) over Oakland

Cha-ching!
