Am I the only one impressed by how the spreads are so small? Cardinals Bills at just 6??? I feel like I am missing something

Week 1 is always a wild card.

Just a hypothesis (may not be correct):
Generally do spreads grow or shrink as we get closer to kickoff?
reply
I feel it is going to change just based off of betting action as well as possible injuries to be announced!
reply
Yes. I noticed that too. Maybe it's the unpredictability of week 1.
reply
There are a lot of question marks week 1, because we haven't seen anything yet.
reply
For some of them yes but I mean Cardinals at the Bills??? All of them being ~3 or less is just insane
reply
Cards have a sneaky good offense this year imo
reply
who is their OC or playcaller?
reply
Same as last. Drew Petzing, kinda an unknown.
Main reason I like them is Kyler is a year removed from his ACL and they got Marv Harrison. Trey McBride is a top 5 TE and Michael Wilson / Dortch are solid WR 2/3.
James Conner + Trey Benson are pretty solid runners too.
A lot of talent on offence that is pretty under the radar.
reply
Do they have an O line though? With Kyler continuously getting hurt he is going to need it to protect him!
reply
On paper their oline should be serviceable. They were a top 5 rushing team last year believe it or not.
Kyler’s only had 1 major injury too being a non contact ACL tear. Made him miss end of 2022 and beginning of 23
He was an assistant under Kevin Stefanski in Minnesota and Cleveland
reply
Good? or better?
reply
I've been kind of surprised how many commentators seem down on the Bills this year.

Yeah I am not sure if I missed something or not but Diggs wasn't some super-needed piece for them. I will be pissed though if he is the cancer rumors say he is and messes with my Texans!
I was also pretty shocked to see the Browns favored over the Cowboys... look I hate the Cowboys but again what pieces did they lose that would make you think ahhh nope. Dak is playing in a contract year and cannot be tagged thanks to his contract wording. Do people still rally expect Watson to perform? Again bias Texans fan but he seems just beat and washed.
reply
Diggs contract is for only one season.
Browns are at home, their defense played better at home last year
reply
Yeah I was a fan of voiding the two other years tbh. This will either make or break him and I like the Texans depth at WR already
reply
For Buffalo, I think missing Milano on their defense is the bigger deal, but I'm not worried about them.
I think people forget how good the Cowboys are in the regular season, because the last we usually see of them is an embarrassing playoff exit.
reply
Milano is a big loss for their defense
edit: looks like he is done for the season after missing most of last season
reply
I mean the Bills didn't exactly struggle last year though which is why it just seems odd to me esp since who knows what the Cards will look like
Cardinals should be better this year. Not good, but better and I think Vegas isn't sure what to make of the Bills yet with all their departures and a couple notable injuries. Seems a little light but for week 1 it's not too far off.
reply
The Seattle spread seems high
reply
Yeah it does esp. when you factor in how the other ones are... 4 seems more likely than 6
reply
Friday game is in Brazil
reply
I wonder if highlights will be on X or Twitter
Will anyone attending the game like American journalists be able to use X?
reply
Stepped up my game this year and actually created a spreadsheet that I will post each week.
reply
Nice!
reply
proton drive!
reply
I like your new meme! It's revving me up.
reply
reply
Thanks, but me track record isn't great.
reply
I'll put the nostr survivor pool link here, too.
I'm going to wait for injury reports and whatnot, because I want to start out with New Orleans and I know that's insane.
reply
I will join the other pool too. I don't like that I have to sign up for some random website to do it though.
reply
It does seem completely unnecessary.
reply
Joined. Took the Bears week 1, which I won't be doing in this pool but seemed like a fun choice.

Im surprised you haven't standardized a submission format to make things clearer/easier for yourself. Anyway, thanks commish
reply
I like to make things difficult for myself. I actually created a spreadsheet this year so things are looking up.
reply
Like type form or Google forms?
reply
Just something simple like:
#mypick seattle
And maybe create a bot to see and record that automatically. Even without a bot it kind of sticks out. Are there tags or hashtags or something on sn?
reply
So here I go! My knowledge about NFL is very small. However, thanks to @Bell_curve , I could check some websites. I will go for the Buffalo Bills in week 1.
reply
Ok. Bills it is. Locked in. Good luck.
reply
Do we just make our picks in this post?

reply
yes because it's double not single elimination
It will definitely go past week 9
so maybe November
reply
It ended in week 13 last year. There were only a few players left the last 3 weeks though. Most players were out by week 10.

reply
I'll take the 49ers for week 1.
reply
Interesting. You know you can only use a team once right?
reply
Why is that question relevant? What do you mean by it? Would it be better in your mind to pick the 49ers some other week? haha j/w
reply
Just didn't think people would use the top teams yet. All good.
reply
I see. I legitimately didn't understand why you asked but I get it now. Cuz sanfran is a top team. makes sense haha thanks
reply
Yeah. Week one can be crazy, so...

Ok. Locked in.
