Each week I’ll drop thoughts on the NFL season delivered from a decades long NFL fan and investor. My positions are meant to stimulate thought and communication not angst or negativity and with that said, I will be frank and blunt about my positions…see some below.
How about acute AFC EAST interest for the first time in many years west of Saratoga Springs, NY?
Chiefs are laydown favorites to win ten games, their division and beyond. What could go wrong?
I guarantee one thing right now and I do it every year with 100% accuracy, here it is:
No one knows a dad gummed thing about what’s going to transpire in the NFL in week one.
I work tirelessly to gain as much intel on players, teams, and organizations prior to week one each year to provide myself with any edge with regard to point spreads, betting and gambling and I realize that I know nothing, it’s the one absolute.
The good news is that others that conduct well less research than I do know nothing also.
Understanding how to invest off of the actions of those with said ‘lack of knowledge’ is a major contributor to my NFL success each week one.
The Niners are a dead under team this year and we bet them as such.
While the Cowboys have talent, they also have tough scheduling, players in contract disputes and a lame ducker in Mike McCarthy?
I don’t think the Bills are as strong as many believe, and I don’t know if Chicago will be able to execute into the hype of their fans this year either.
Why can’t the Seahawks as well as the Rams improve this year?
Even the lowly Cardinals may be able to overcome the ineptitude of their ownership bumbling and compete this year…by that I mean they carry extremely low expectation from the marketplace.
I’m not buying the Falcon hype outside of the fact that this group coming in will show significant improvement from a coaching standpoint than the group the left, it may take a couple of years to show which is how they drafted… if you were paying attention. They also compete in a pretty damn weak division.
The AFC North is going to be a murderers row this year. Those are four complete, competitive playoff erected football teams.
Will we find any rookie QB’s that can come out of the gate like CJ Stroud did last year? I’d caution Chicago that they may have to yield to Denver?
This edition of Musing and Abusing was unusually negative because this time of year I’m only looking to invest in teams to NOT achieve. I wait until immediately prior to the first game before I make positions on which teams I handicap to overachieve, win divisions, eclipse number of games etc.
Musings and Abusing’s next week will list teams I am considering to overachieve and perform well… I wait so that trades, injuries etc. cannot negatively affect my position.
Keep your head on a swivel!
