Tough loss on the Arizona/Toledo over last night guys. I don't make excuses but I thought I really had that one pegged right, Toledo just refused to score from inside the 5-yard line. Anyway, the NFL is finally here and it's time to start rolling. The Colts are my top play today. In Week 1, I see no reason to overthink things. In my opinion, the Colts are one of the three best teams in the NFL and the Bears are one of the three worst. All the Colts have to do is win by 10. I like my odds. The Colts treat preseason like a glorified practice. They spend all summer preparing for their opening day opponent, that's why they normally play so well in Week 1 after looking like garbage for most of the preseason.
Now, there is a concern that Peyton Manning may be rusty. I don't buy into that for two main reasons. One, I've seen this guy practice up close and personal. Trust me, he could shut his eyes and hit Wayne, Clark and Harrison on a rope. Those guys are so in sync it's scary. The second reason I'm not concerned about Manning is because the Bears defense isn't what it once was. The Colts will be able to run the ball just as well as throw it. We saw that a couple of years ago in the Super Bowl when these two teams met. Plus, the Bears and Colts run the same defense, so Manning sees it all the time in practice. Not good news if you are a Bears fan .
We have an AFC powerhouse opening up their new stadium against an NFC weakling. I see the Colts winning this game by at least 17 points. 2 UNIT PLAY

I see these two teams going in different directions this year. I predicted last year that the Saints wouldn't make the playoffs because of their defensive weaknesses but I think their defense will be improved this season. When I look at the Bucs, I see a defense that's not nearly as good as it used to be and an offense that's going to struggle to score points on a consistent basis. That won't be a problem for New Orleans, a team that has one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. I think at the end of this season the Saints will be a playoff team, while the Bucs will win 5-6 games. I'll take a shot with what I believe is the much more talented team playing at home and only laying a field goal. 1 UNIT PLAY

Houston/Pittsburgh Over 43 (POD)
First the Research that went into this game
Houston can very well give Pitt all they can handle. I am actually a fan of Houston in many ways, I love their offense, their coaching as well as their gutsy pick to take Williams over Reggie Bush in an effort to build this defense and to make a stand at some point, the need to build a core of a defense and they have done a decent job at that. The public is about 2/3rds in favor of Pitt here but the line has taken a bit, These 2 teams haven't met since 2005, I think Pitt is going to be in for all they can handle and more importantly, I wouldn't be surprised to see this game go over.
Final Write-up
I checked the weather in this game and it will be in the mid 60's and partly cloudy. Note that Houston can flat out put up points and the last 3 road games they have had have gone well over and this Pittsburgh team has a defense that is overrated. Note, this is the same Pittsburgh team that gave up 22 and 29 against Jacksonville at home and on the road they typically play the over as well. Houston has a very competent offense and frankly, I can see this game ending at least in a 24-21 type of ballgame being decided by a field goal. Having said this, I do see Houston covering at the end of the day, but rather than the cover, I will take the over here as I do expect Houston to be an active dog and I have always said, it goes by my active dog/over principle. Keep in mind the over is 6-0 for the Steelers in Game 1 and the Steelers have played the over in their last 4 ballgames. The over is 7-2-1 in the last 10 ballgames for the Texans and the over is 5-1 for the Texans in September as well as.
