1:00, Perfect

We had 3/3 winning tickets in the 1:00 game.  My big game this week was the Vikings. I was nervous with everyone chanting “trap game,” but I knew the Vikings running game would dominate that game.  The Falcons were my other play and they won 19-7.  Lastly, I put a little something on my Eagles.  They say don’t put money on your own team, but I’m confident in the Eagles this season — they have a ton of offensive weapons and a great defense, which showed with DeSean Jackson’s punt return, Sheldon Brown had a huge INT, and Trent Cole forced a fumble which Abiamiri put in the endzone.  Each game was a pretty comfortable cover.

There are three 4:00 games and I’m really feeling the Cardinals.  They have a potent offense at home, an underrated defense, and should be jacked up starting the season with Super Bowl hopes at home.  They’re up against a 49ers team that is trying to find their identity.  The only real star on that 49ers team is Frank Gore.  The 49ers receiving skills are minimal and their defense is just middle of the pack.  I expect Arizona to come out firing with Fitzgerald and Boldin and they will get this game going on the right track.  I like that the line dropped from -6.5 to -5.5.  I don’t know what that is all about, but I’m going to jump on it.  I like this game, but don’t love it since a lot of people are taking the 49ers to cover, but I’m going with my gut on this one.  How can you bet against the Cardinals at home with that type of offense?

Good luck at 4:00.
