Weekly Suggested Bets 2008-09

NFL Selections: Week 1

Bet of the Week: Baltimore

Baltimore ($2.10) v Cincinnati ---1 ½ Units---

Available: Pinnacle

The Ravens are the real sleepers this year and can kick off the season in good style against faltering divisional rivals Cincinnati. The Ravens are definitely a team on the up while the Bengals look set to be among the worst quarter of teams in the NFL. As a home underdog in the opening week, the Ravens look a standout bet. With problems at quarterback, expect the Ravens to be run-first. With Willis McGahee and Ray Rice, this is a good choice. The Bengals were terrible at stopping the run last season, giving up 118.3 yards on the ground per game. McGahee is going to have a field day. The Bengals offense is also not what it once was and they may struggle to score against one of the better defenses in the NFL. The Ravens will kick off a solid campaign by winning their first encounter of the season.

Tennessee (+3) v Jacksonville --- ½ Unit---

Available: Generally

The Titans are generally very tough to beat in Nashville, going 5-3 last season with two of their losses coming against Indianapolis (two points) and San Diego (overtime). They are a team that play a conservative game, ensuring they are usually well in the game come the fourth quarter. With the addition of Chris Johnson and Alge Crumpler, Jeff Fisher has the pieces in place to play his kind of game. The Jags enter the season as a boom team once again and while they will likely be their consistently good selves, there are a few question marks surrounding their quarterback and pass rush. The Titans look a handy bet as a home dog. Expect this to be a real dogfight with the game going right down to the wire. These games are always good to take the points in.
