I don't put much stock in something like this to be honest, and as Topper pointed out they might not be chalk in all of those games, here's who they play to end the season, Baltimore, KC, Arizona, LA Rams, KC, LA Chargers, that's a tough stretch to close the season, plus they play in the toughest division in the league, they have anew QB, new head coach, everyone learning a new system, and Russell Wilson's best days might be behind him, his QBR last year was the lowest of his career. Last season they were 7-10, they have to improve by 4 games for me to lose, even with the upgrade at QB I don't see them as an 11 win team.

If that stretch was at the beginning of the year I would tend to agree with you but instead they get the Seahawks Texans Jets and Jags to warm up against the 1st half of the season.

The fact that they won 7 games last year with an incompetent OC the worst time management head coach in the league and a heartless QB that refused to throw the ball downfeild would scare the shit out of me. The team is flat out talented.

Even with an offense that continually put their defense in bad positions they still ranked near the top in almost every category. Barring injury they'll have the best secondary in the league.

Russell Wilson was playing MVP football to start the 2020 season QBing the leagues #1 offense, leading almost every statistical category and then the sacks started piling up and he was forced to play the rest of the season dinged up.

I got them splitting the division and dropping 2 more along the way to a 12-5 finish.

I think the Titans will do well.

Titans are going for their seventh straight winning season the longest streak in NFL besides Kansas City.

I really like Mike Vrabel he is a good head coach

I expect Tennessee to have a top ten defense and a really good front seven.

If i had to guess i'd say around 11-6 or 10-7 as a final record.

Indy will give Tennessee a run for its money this season i expect both to finish close in the division.

Titans have won AFC South the last two seasons.

AFC West is wide open. I think the Chargers are favored now at +185 (should tell you
something)

I took a flyer on Raiders to win it. +650

Raiders look a little low to me. I played it over.

They won 10 last year and made the playoffs, and
they're better with Jones on defense and Adams on offense.

No opinion on their win total, but to play devil's advocate, they have one of the toughest schedules in the league, and last year they were 7-2 in one score games, I haven't played it yet, but I like Carr to lead the league in passing yards, big time offense, not so great defense, they could be involved in a lot of shootouts

I think McDaniels learned a lot with the Denver mess.

IMO, he should be better second time around.

He certainly knows offense. Raiders will put up points for sure.

I can't believe this narrative is still out there. Here's a look at JM offenses without Brady. Look what happened to NE offense when he was gone from 2009 to 2011. Bill deserves the credit not Josh.

2009 Den 20th ranked (NE #3)
2010 Den 19th ranked (NE #1)
2011 STL 31st ranked (NE #2)
2020 NE 26th ranked
2021 NE 6th ranked

Jets have over 5.5 talent. As high as -160 at some shops.

Then I look at that schedule. Yikes!

I like Brady under any #. Not to make the playoffs probably a nice price. Not Birdie nice mind you. That's impossible.

His heart is not in it and that correlates to his body. I think he ends his career like Favre - being carried off the field in a bad Christopher Wray.

I've got Under 6.5, they have some talent but it's young, really tough schedule, and not sold on Wilson at QB

I think I understand but I can't get into his goofy head. He knows it's time but he can't let go. He's thinking about lifting the trophy one last time but not thinking about what it is going to take to get there. It's Kesha hard to let go when you have had that much success and never hit the wall. Last year was mostly successful. He's going to hit the wall. Sometimes it is gradual. Sometimes it is Olivia Newton John Suddenly.

Baltimore at 10 1/2? All I had seen was 9 1/2s and 10s. I was leaning under but not at 9 1/2. At 10 1/2, no question I'd go under. They must be counting on facing Brisset twice, and that's assuming a lot, since the Ravens don't face the Browns until week 7. Is Fan Duel in Indiana or Illinois? I don't think they are in PA.

FanDuel has two retail locations in Indiana and one in Illinois.

Indiana - Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City and Belterra Casino Resort in Florence.

Illinois - FanDuel Sportsbook and Horse Racing in Collinsville

Checking to see if FanDuel has any other spots in Illinois.

I knew it.

FanDuel has a spot in East Peoria at a small casino called Par-A-Dice.

And, I assume FanDuel cut a deal with the Bulls and Hawks because they will be taking bets at United Center in the near future.

The Ram under is a very trendy pick. I haven't looked at the under vig lately.

Nonetheless, I can't remember a SB Champ ever being a dog their first home game
out of the gate next season. This isn't college were you lose half your starters.
