NFL Pre-season. (HOF game)

[TazaD]

1-0 (+1.01) [Played Indi/Atlanta over 40.5 in Game 1] Miami/Chicago under 34 (1.90) Really can't see any kind of down field stuff from the Bears. Smith will be content to run, and I suspect Grossman, Hutchinson, Kittner ( know nothing about Orton!) will be happy to throw little screen/swing passes. They scored 14 or less in 6 of their last 7 games last year, and let's be honest, not a lot has changed! Miami have a very banged up O-line, so I'd be surprised if they would want to risk any of the QB's buying time to throw down field...besides, I suspect they'd want to have a good look at Minor, Morris, Williams and Gordon to see who slots into where in the grand scheme of things. Saban has built his reputation on solid running and tough defense, I doubt whether he'll want to experiment too much in game 1. *** Some of you might think it's pointless risking $ on pre-season games, but in my experience it's one of the best times in any sports! Coaches make their game plans public, and most things that are planned are totally transparent. (ie. In Tokyo, both coaches promised not to blitz to give the Japanese fans a "show".) I went 18-3 last year in NFLX, so hopefully I can get close to that again. :ok
