On Sunday morning the game of the Colts versus the Texans will be a matchup of the two rookie quarterbacks in the draft from last draft we have C.J. Stroud vs. Anthony Richardson in this game both teams are 0-1 but before we get into the two quarterbacks and match up I will go over the betting values of this game
Last Thursday, we kicked off the 2023-24 NFL season. It was full of surprising moments and dominating performances. As we approach the start of week 2, let’s wrap-up week 1 & take a brief look at all 16 games that happened on kickoff week.
NY Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (8) gets carted off the field Monday Night after tearing his achilles against the Buffalo Bills, a season-ending injury.
Four snaps.
All it took was four offensive snaps, and the dreams of tens of thousands of Jets fans sitting helplessly inside MetLife Stadium of a championship in February of 2024 (their first & only since legendary QB “Hollywood” Joe Namath) were dashed.
The Monday night football game on week 1 and the debut of Aaron Rodgers for the New York Jets. Before we get into the game these are what the lines are for betting the Bills had a -2 on the spread and the over/under was 44.5 and the money line was Buffalo -129 and New York Jets are +110. These all according to CBS Sports.
The Carolina Panthers kicked off their 2023-24 NFL season on the road, as they started at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. However, a strong beginning to their game turned into a dismal end, as they were defeated by the Atlanta Falcons in a NFC South showdown.
During yesterday’s Sunday Funday with Rockin’ Reese, it was brought up that if the Rams did what the Chiefs did on Thursday (i.e. Get exposed for their reliance on one player), they would lose their opener to the Seahawks. Last year, the Rams were beaten, victimized and conquered by the Buffalo Bills in their banner-raising game to commemorate winning the Super Bowl the year before.
In what was supposed to be a dominant performance by the reigning NFC Champion Eagles, quickly spiraled into an afternoon filled with question marks and cause for concern.
Yes, it’s only one game. Yes, you were lining up against a defense guided by arguably the greatest coach in NFL history (Belichick). Nonetheless, the high powered Philadelphia Eagles offense, led by last year’s MVP runner up Jalen Hurts (22-33, 170, 1 TD) looked anemic at best. Top 3 league Tight-End, Dallas Goedert had 1 target, and as a team, Philadelphia rushed for 97 total yards.
Happy week one everyone, it’s your boy PlayActionReal. I proclaim myself a Houston Texans apologist. Here is my take on week one for the Texans.
“If the Detroit Lions are going to win this game, they will need to play this game like it’s their Super Bowl and like they have nothing to lose.” —“Captain” Ron Johnson
