Thursday, September 10, 2009
Game Time: 8:30 pm (NBC)
- Tennessee Titans 35.0
- Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5
Ron’s Tip: If history tells us anything, we can maybe anticipate a shootout this evening, as 7 out of the last 8 games between the Titans and Steelers have gone OVER the total. However, the UNDER is 7-2-0 for the Titans vs. AFC North Division foes.
ATSDatabase.com Tip: When a PITTSBURGH STEELERS team played as a home team playing in week 1; The OVER is 14-3-0 for the Steelers in this spot.
Forecast: Pittsburgh 23 Tennessee 20

Dolphins vs. Falcons
Game Time: 01:00 pm
- Miami Dolphins 43.5
- Atlanta Falcons -4
Ron’s Tip: When ATLANTA FALCONS played as Home team vs AFC East Division; The Falcons are 12-4 SU vs. AFC East teams since ’83. The thing that bothers me with the Dolphins, Teddy Ginn is charted their top receiver.
Forecast: Atlanta 31 Miami 28
Chiefs vs. Ravens
Game Time: 01:00 pm
- Kansas City Chiefs 36
- Baltimore Ravens -13
Ron’s Tip: Both Teams have seen the UNDER go to 4-1-0 the last 5 years in week 1. Cassels wearing a knee brace during practice this week and if he can’t go, Brodie Coyle is your starter in a very tough venue.
Forecast: Baltimore 20 KC 6
Eagles vs. Panthers
Game Time: 01:00 pm
- Philadelphia Eagles -2.5
- Carolina Panthers 43.5
Ron’s Tip: Six of the last 7 games for the Panthers at home vs. AFC East teams have gone OVER the posted total. But, the UNDER is 11-3-0 for the CAROLINA PANTHERS in week 1 since ’95. When the CAROLINA PANTHERS played as a Underdog in week 1, they are 7-1-0 ATS.
Forecast: Carolina 21 Philadelphia 20
Broncos vs. Bengals
Game Time: 01:00 pm
- Denver Broncos 43
- Cincinnati Bengals -4
Ron’s Tip: Whenever you have two teams who are a mystery because of the lost of key personnel and there’s really nothing that stands out in that game, you look for the best player on both teams and expect that playmaker to be the difference. In my view, the playmaker in this game is Carson Palmer.
Forecast: Cincinnati 24 Denver 17
Vikings vs. Browns
Game Time: 01:00 pm
- Minnesota Vikings -4
- Cleveland Browns 39.5
Ron’s Tip: I’m not sure what’s worst, the Vikings being 0-4-1 ATS in week 1 as a road favorite or the Browns When the
CLEVELAND BROWNS played as a home team during Week 1, they are 1-9 SU and 1-8-1 ATS. Can Mangini turn this franchise around? That’s the question right out of the gate! I’m going on a hunch here, the last time Mangini played the Vikings in 2006 with the Jets, discipline won out and New York won that game 26-13.
Forecast: Cleveland 24 Minnesota 21
Jets vs. Texans
Game Time: 01:00 pm
- New York Jets 43.5
- Houston Texans -4
Ron’s Tip: The Jets are 3-0 SU and ATS vs. the Texans lifetime and the UNDER is a perfect 3-0 in those games. Big question with the Texans is whether they can keep Matt Schaub healthy and get him playing in more consecutive games, which will be the only way the Texans can get any momentum going from week to week.
Forecast: Houston 17 NY Jets 14
Jaguars vs. Colts
Game Time: 01:00 pm
- Jacksonville Jaguars 44.5
- Indianapolis Colts -7
Ron’s Tip: The Jags are 4-12 SU vs. the Colts at home and away since ’95. The biggest question that will haunt the Colts over and over again this season, will they be able to stop the run? The Colts are 5-9 SU in Week 1 home openers since ’83.
Forecast: Jacksonville 23 Indianapolis 21
Lions vs. Saints
Game Time: 01:00 pm
- Detroit Lions 49
- New Orleans Saints -13
Ron’s Tip: The UNDER is 8-2-0 for the Lions and Saints when they hook up since ’83. Call me crazy, but I believe in Jim Schwartz and he gets to shock the NFL in week 1.
Forecast: Detroit 30 New Orleans 27
Cowboys vs. Buccaneers
Game Time: 01:00 pm
- Dallas Cowboys -6
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers 39
Ron’s Tip: The
Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 3-7-1 ATS and 3-8 SU as a home dog in home openers since ’83.
Forecast: Dallas 20 Tampa Bay 10
49ers vs. Cardinals
Game Time: 4:15 pm
- San Francisco 49ers 46
- Arizona Cardinals -6.5
Ron’s Tip: Ken Wisenhunt is one of the top NFL Coaches right now in the game and it’s pretty hard to outcoach a Bill Cowher student. Love Mike Singletary and he’s changing the attitude in Frisco, but Wisenhunt X’s and O’s vs. Singletary’s X’s and O’s, got to go with Wiser! The OVER is 8-2-0 for the Cardinals at home vs. NFC West opponents in their last 10 games.
Forecast: Arizona 34 San Francisco 20
Redskins vs. Giants
Game Time: 4:15 pm
- Washington Redskins 37.5
- New York Giants -6.5
Ron’s Tip: When
WASHINGTON REDSKINS team played as a road team playing in week 1; The Redskins are 1-6 SU and ATS in this spot.
Forecast: NY Giants 20 Washington 10
Rams vs. Seahawks
Game Time: 4:15 pm
- St Louis Rams 41
- Seattle Seahawks -9
Ron’s Tip: The Seahawks have won 7 of the 8 home games vs. the Rams and Bulger is expected to start.
Forecast: Seattle 34 St.Louis 16
Bears vs. Packers
Game Time: 8:20 pm (NBC)
- Chicago Bears 46
- Green Bay Packers -3.5
Ron’s Tip: When
CHICAGO BEARS team Played as road team as a Underdog playing in week 1; the Bears are 1-6 SU in this role in Week 1.
Forecast: Green Bay 27 Chicago 20
Monday, September 14, 2009
Bills vs. Patriots
Game Time: 7:00 pm (ESPN)
- Buffalo Bills 47.5
- New England Patriots -10.5
Ron’s Tip: Tom Brady hasn’t played a real game in over a year and that was half a game, so he hasn’t played a full game in nearly 18 or so months. Incentive?
Buffalo Bills receiver Terrell Owens vs. Randy Moss, Owens is staying quiet about the matchup, but you know he wants to out perform him!
Forecast: Buffalo 17 New England 13
Chargers vs. Raiders
Game Time: 10:15 pm (ESPN)
- San Diego Chargers -9
- Oakland Raiders 43.0
Ron’s Tip: When OAKLAND RAIDERS played as Home team vs AFC West Division; The Raiders are 1-9 SU and 2-8-0 ATS in this spot L10 games. When OAKLAND RAIDERS team played as a home team playing in week 1, they are 8-3 SU in this role since ’83.
Forecast: San Diego 28 Oakland 20
