I go 3-2

I went all dogs in week one, though the local retrograde anti-gambling laws kept me from profiting. Were I in different circumstances, I could have lost with neworleans(+4.5)over GREENBAY, (Packers won, 42-34), and STLOUIS(+3 or 4)over philadelphia, (Eagles won, 31-13), but would have won with carolina(+8)over ARIZONA, (Panthers lost but covered, 28-21), WASHINGTON(+3)over nygiants, 'Skins won, 28-14, and dallas(+6)over NYJETS, Dallas should have won, but blew a 14 point lead, to lose 27-24. I sort of favored the Cowboys at 4.5, but six? SIX???

The Jets just don't score enough to be heavily favored against decent teams. Dallas showed themselves more than capable of losing by close margins last year. I expect the Jets to be favored by too much vs. Jacksonville next week as well. I think I misread the schedule, and guessed

nyj(-9) on the road, but they're at home, so I'm thinking...11?

Will the Cowboy choke job keep them undervalued, or keep the Jets overvalued? We'll see. Way too much love for the 49ers last year, and a new, possibly competent coach in Jim Harbaugh could keep the excessive love going. Ultimately the 'Niner love will hinge on our impressions of the Cardinails and Kevin Kolb, and our belief in Sam Bradford, with or without Steven Jackson, who left with a strained quad after two carries, the first of which went for 48 yards and a score.

My ESPN Fantasy Team went off yesterday, despite my benching Ray Rice (31 points) and Steve Smith adding 40 more on my bench. Mike Tolbert scored 3 TDs and actually outscored Rice, while Matthew Stafford, who I started over Ben Roethlisberger, got 300+ passing yards and 3 TD passes, good for 23 points, while Big Ben earned a big donut on my bench, thanks to three picks and two fumbles. (Turnovers are good for -2 points each in our scoring, and sacks get you -1. If I'd thought more about the Steelers offensive line, I may not have drafted the alleged rapist.
