I'm going over 52.5 nfl tonight, what yall thinking 
A lot of question marks on d/secondary both ways. I think pats will handle business but Ben will be airing it out and Brown will go off

And since thats the case id pick a super safe bet (no bet is safe anyway)
I expect Brady and the Pats to win. Ill probably end up betting the Pats -3 points at -240.
But does anybody know how the recent lift of the suspension has had any effect on practice/ player morales/ or anything regarding the team?

I think most believe Brady and Co. will win. All numbers basically point to it. Whether they covering that -7 is another story and it all depends on their defense. I'm a firm believer in them scoring over their TT 29.5 as long as the weather is okay. I'll be interested to see how their secondary holds up against Big Ben, though. All 8 SB Nation analysts predict NE to win, 7 out of 8 CBS analysts predict a NE win, all 8 Foxsports analysts predict a NE win and 9 out of 10 ESPN analysts picked NE to win 
.
Brady is 43-1 at home against AFC teams since Nov. 13, 2006. So, one of the safer bets would be to bet on NE's ML depending on your BR. I may make a large play on the ML and a smaller play on the spread.
My head says 35-27 Patriots. If there is bad weather, I'll go with 24-14 Patriots.

The first one to lose a bet on a missed PAT. 
*knocks on wood*
It's gonna be much more common now.

Sounds like a smart play bhz.
651, any thoughts on why steelers would cover +7 in your opinion?

The only reason I can think of Pitt covering the spread is due to Patriots secondary being too weak. I just cannot see Pitt stopping NE's offense (bad weather or not). The bad weather will favor NE anyway because of their short passing game.

Bingo. Pats secondary is weak. I think Pitt scores some points (same with NE obviously) but NE can never just put them away.
I like NE 34-31ish. So Pitt covers.

Feeling the Over 52. NE secondary is trash and PIT D isnt what it used to be with a new DC.

yea cause this game (win or lose) will answer that question
you do know the 2nd half of the Colts game was with NFL approved balls right? As was the Super Bowl
and only 2 of the 12 were "under inflated"

Apologize for the delay. I'm just seeing this...
I think the public is all about NE. Defending champs, at home, pissed off about deflate gate, no Bryant/Bell for Pitt...Public perception isn't necessarily football, but over the years, I've learned to marry the two when making my picks and that on top of the fact that I still see Pittsburgh putting up 20+, makes me confident the Steelers cover. They still have Brown, Wheaton, RB's are capable, Ben still won't go down (Pats biggest defensive strength is front 7, so almost negated here) and they'll be able to throw allll over the ballpark on that secondary. Should be an entertaining game. Over is nice play as well, but I'm gonna roll with Pitt to start the year out.

Sometimes there's a thing as too much information. Not saying this can't be useful, but I think a lot of this goes out the window when you talk about the first football game of a new season. So many factors change, and while some factors remain the same, you're not always certain which of those factors do stay the same when you head into a new season.

And suddenly, the under is looking good.

Cashed in on the ML and @ that push. I guess no complaints since PIT left all kinds of points on the board.
