NFL Wk. 1.

Detroit -3 (2.00) Don't be fooled by Detroit's slow start to the pre-season. The coaching staff were quite happy to run a very cut back offense, so they didn't reveal anything for the 'real' season. They get their chance v. Green Bay. The Detroit offense should have no problems rolling over a very poor Green Bay defense, and I expect their run D to keep Green in check. Favre's best years are behind him, and there is usually a turnover or two when he starts to trow the ball too often. If Harrington can stay healthy, Detroit are a genuine chance to win the division and I expect them to start with a big home win first up. Buffalo v. Houston under 38 (2.04) (Took it down a point) Buffalo have shown through the pre-season that their defense is top class (as last year), but with Losman at QB they will struggle to score, and they definately won't score quickly! Houston will try to establish a running game, but will struggle to move the ball at all against this Bills' D. Provided there aren't a heap of turnovers creating short field oppertunities for either side, I expect this one to be a very low scoring game. Tease: Carolina -1/2 - Indi/Balt under 53.5 (1.91) NO just have to many distractions to deal with, surely! The Panthers will want revenge from last year...In that game Foster and Davis were both out and Carolina had 3 TO's to NO zero. The Panthers should be able to run the ball effectively all day, and I can't see them dropping this game. Indi still have one of th most formidable offenses in the NFL...Baltimore still have Kyle Boller! The Ravens should have some success on the ground, and be able to put together some long, time consuming drives. As good as Indi are, last year when they played top-line defenses they scored; 24 @ NE, 24 @ Jax, 24 v. Jax, 20 v. Balt, 14 @ Denver and 3 @ NE. Last season's meeting ended 20-10.

Taz, at Pinnacle I clicked on 'Buy Points' but couldn't see how to take it down a point. It allows me to take it up but not down. Any clues?
