HAHAHAHAHA. Best offense in the league. That is the funniest thing I've heard all day. I hope your joking, and if not I suggest you do some research before betting.

I don't play too much week 1 reguardless, and this particular week 1 I will be traveling for work, depending on my flight time Sunday (which I still don't have tickets in hand for) I may not even be near a computer with internet access till after the late games kick off.

Work really gets in the way of life.

SEA doesnt look too bad, I would consider taking this game as well.

I dont consider it the game of the week tho but it could be a solid pick. SEA is one of the best teams in the league. The thing is tho you never know what the lions might do, they are so unpredictable. some weeks they look worst than the 49ers and other weeks they look like a SB team.

This was the first game to jump off the page when I looked at the opening lines.

Like I said, Im not a expert... I look at different things when betting but Im sure its not nearly as in depth as you go into it.

Im just waiting on your picks for week 1... cant wait.

My buddy and I are going over stuff now, keep in mind anything I post will have to be Saturday and will be without last minute injuries and weather changes since I will be traveling Sunday.

Are you looking at the same team I am? Brees is a proven top-flight QB, Horn is a premier receiver coming off a bad year, McAllister is a stud RB coming off an injury-plagued 2005, and Reggie Bush is superman. I'd take that offense over most in this league. Their defense is worrisome, but I also think Rueben Droughns is overrated and Frye is a rookie QB.

Edit to add: Said one of the best. I like N.E., NYG, S.D., Cincy, and Indy of course.

I also did my research. Based on last year is comparing apples to oranges here. N.O. Had Aaron Brooks playing QB last year with zero running game.

I'm not saying they won't beat Clevelend, but still no way are they one of the best offenses. I'm not sure if you are aware but in the NFL offensive lines are used, and NO has one of the worst. They are a bad line and word is that they are gonna be switching guys around which will create huge growing problems. On top of that there tight end is not a threat to catch passes. They also just got rid of Stallworth, making their recieving group average, not stellar. Horn is great but he will never be as good as he was in 04. And I like Brees, but there is no way of knowing yet whether he will be as good as he was the last two years.
