    A few things I like for this weekend:

    Texans(+3) vs. Lions
    Panthers (+6)vs. Chiefs
    Bears (+9) vs. Packers
    Jets (-3) vs. Chargers

    3 dogs and 1 favorite. No team should be a favorite by more than a TD in the NFL. This is the MFL, not college. The Bears always play the Packers tough. The defending NFC Champs are getting 6 against a bad defense that lost their first game? I will take the points, thank you. The Texans were killed by Turnovers last game, w/o turnovers they win the game. They should win straight up Sunday. The Jets are tough, the Chargers are cupcakes.

    I just don't think that KC's defense is any different this year. I see the Panthers putting up a good game. +6 seems too high.

    About the Bears, +9 is just too much to give any NFL team. Sure Green Bay may blow them out, but I would never lay more than a TD to even the strongest NFL team. Too many intangible things can happen.

    Its early in the week, but those were some lines that jumped out at me.

    I guess I can post my official picks later, assuming this thread stays active all week.

    What does the money column mean? It seems nobody is betting the Jets, but all the money is on them.

    A bet on the money line is when you bet them to win straight up, meaning no points are involved.

    You will have to bet more since the payout will be less. This is because you are not laying any points in order to win you bet.

    Usually the money line is just a straight up win for the team.
