Chargers/Lions 1:00: Chargers were road warriors last year cashing the ticket in 7 of their last 8 road tilts including playoffs. Today, we get good value with the Chargers as this line dropped to near pick. Chargers have that fierce pass rush with Bosa and Ingram that will be disruptive to QB Stafford, especially since LT Taylor Becker (back) struggled last week in his protection. And veteran LB Thomas Davis was a huge pick up in the off-season from Carolina. Davis had 14 tackles last week. Offensively, QB Rivers still has the juice and the run game is still rolling behind RB Ekeler filling in admirably for holdout Gordon. As for Detroit, not enough of a run game to do damage to the Chargers' defense that got gashed last week. We'll grab the Chargers on the money line.

Florida State/Virginia 7:30: Florida State's defensive woes should catch up with them here. Seminoles are allowing a generous 520 YPG in non conference play against non-power 5 schools. HC Taggart in a panic mode brought in Jim Leavitt as another quality control assistant (former Fla State DC Mickey Andrews already on staff) to fight damage control for beleaguered DC Barnett. Too many voices from too many egos make a mess. We'll look for well disciplined Virginia, which boasts a defense that allows just 228 YPG and offensively running smooth with QB Bryce Perkins at the helm. Mendenhall's boys should continue to roll.

Bucs/Panthers 8:20: Panthers did a respectable job against incumbent NFC champ - Rams in Week 1. Defensively, they limited explosive plays and made Los Angeles work for everything they got. I believe they can fluster interception prone TB QB Winston. On the other hand, Newton did a nice job running the offense but need some vertical push up the field with Samuel or Moore. McCaffrey is outstanding but Carolina struggles when he is overused. TE Olsen (back) should be good to go. These teams split games last year with each winning on their home field. More of the same tonight. NFL away team in first Thursday Night game of season is 1-15 SU (2-10-4 ATS). TB is 1-8 ATS on Thursdays and 1-9 ATS as a division dog of more than 3 points vs an opponent with revenge. We'll look for the more polished Panthers to rule on their home field.

Broncos/Raiders 10:15: Raiders attempting to be relevant again but it shouldn't happen tonight. It's hard to turn the from excitement over AB playing and wake up a few days before opening day and he's gone (Patriots). Oakland now has to rely on Tyrell Williams (from Chargers) as their #1 receiver. He's good but not the game breaker Antonio Brown is. And not sure the Raiders' run game is back. Still offensive line question marks. Denver's new HC Fangio has a wealth of defensive bodies to instill his wisdom in. Edge rushers Miller and Chubb should wreak havoc on QB Carr. And grabbing Kareem Jackson (Texas) and former player Callahan (Bears) will surely boost the secondary. Offensively, still believe QB Flacco has some juice in him. OC Scangarello (disciple of Kyle Shanahan) should help the offense roll especially with the additions of Ja'waan James (OT) and Risner (draft). Raiders' DC Guenther has never had a formidable defense even while with Cincinnati. Last year, 29.2 PPG allowed - worst in NFL... Denver does their best work early in the season, including 7-0 in season openers. Denver the call.

RBs Hyde and Duke Johnson were good pick ups to replace Lamar Miller (ACL). Sure, Clowney is off to Seattle but got some good defensive talent in the draft and in the offseason. New Orleans is loaded but overvalued here considering some key defensive players out. We'll look for Houston to hang around.

TB's defense, which was pitiful the last few years under DC Mike Smith, will be much improved under Todd Bowles. Offensively, the Bucs emphasized offensive line in the off-season and we should see the improved results here vs SF's hot shot new edge rushers...Arians is 11-4 as a pick or home dog and should deliver.

This year, the defense is getting healthy as LB Deion Jones (foot) is finally healthy. In addition, CB Trufant should be good to go. Offensively, Falcons focused on bolstering their offensive line through the draft and acquisitions. It should pay off in dividends as they are loaded with offensive skill weaponry: Julio Jones, Sanu, Ridley, RB Freeman, QB Ryan and throw in TE Hooper. Vikings always tough under Zimmer but not sold on QB Cousins. And numbers on both sides of the ball were down for Minnesota last year. Falcons' HC Quinn is 3-1 ATS in road openers and we'll roll with him.

Jets have a few big time additions too in RB Bell (19 months since taking a snap) and #1 draft choice Quinnen Williams.

Nagy will not have super DC Fangio (Denver) to call the defense; nevertheless, Chuck Pagano has 10 returning starters plus some good depth to take command with. The Packers, however, have to change their entire system on both sides of the ball and rev up a new culture under HC LaFleur. I see a more seamless transition with the Nagy organization and will give the Bears the edge on a field where they covered 7 of 9 last year.

Montgomery did leave him some athletes to work with. He's got a solid versatile QB in Ahlers (1785 pass, 592 rush and a 12/3 TD/INT ratio. Ahlers has weapons to go to and the Pirates have a load of returning starters on the line on both sides of the ball. Pirates are 8-3 ATS vs the ACC and 3-1 ATS in this series.

Freeland, who gets lit up routinely at Coors, sports a 25-51-5 O/U mark in his career; moreover, 3-8-1 O/U in his last 12 road starts where his ERA is over a run less than when he's at home. Sure, Arizona lit him up like a torch at Coors in 3 starts this season, but the D'Backs also produce just 4.8 RPG at Chase Field. On the other hand, Arizona's starter Alex Young is better at home and 0-4 O/U vs the NLW. Colorado is 3-12-2 O/U vs lefty starters and 2-7 O/U on the road vs lefty starters.

And his 2.30 ERA over his last 3 starts tells me he is in mid-season form. His counterpart, Gibson, appears to be heading in the opposite direction. He was on a serious winning run but got tagged hard in his last outing. He's sporting a high WHIP (1.41 ERA) over his last 3 outings and faces a good hitting home team. With Yelich back in the lineup and Braun on a run (11 straight games hit safely), we'll grab the home team.

Reds/Nationals 7:05: Worth taking a shot with DeSclafani and the Reds. Reds showing resilience off losses lately at 5-0 and play well on Mondays at 4-0; as a matter of fact, Reds are 6-1 with DeSclafani on Mondays. We'll look for the Reds to get the best of Erick Fedde who has struggled in this ball park to the tune of 6.10 ERA. And the Washington bullpen is a hold your breath proposition virtually all season. DeSclafani is by no means lights out but he has answered the bell against the Nationals to the tune of 2-0 with a 2.17 ERA in 4 starts and 7 appearances. And chances are he won't face Soto (ankle) tomorrow... Red's bullpen more stable than Washington's. Reds the call.

He's having a solid year and has won 21 of 27 starts at home; moreover, he shook out of his post-season jitters last October and delivered two outstanding performances vs this Dodgers' team; on the other hand, Ryu was on the losing end of one of those games getting punched out early. Sure, Ryu is MLB's ERA leader now, having a tremendous year minus the disaster in Colorado; however, Boston is 7-1 vs the Dodgers at Fenway and 25-5 after an opponent scores 5+ runs. I like that resiliency. BoSox the call.

Dodgers/Red Sox 7:05: Both of tonight's starters are having and outstanding year. Ryu is MLB's ERA leader while Price took over from last October's heroics to sport a solid year; however, Ryu did not do well here in October and that could resurface again. BoSox feast on lefties here and Ryu is overdue to get lit up. As for Price, he was sharp for most of June - allowing just 4 walks over 24 2/3 IP; however, in July, he's already issued 6 walks. Perhaps a harbinger for a shelling here. Dodgers 11-2 O/U on road vs team over .500. Over the call.

Giants/Brewers 7:15: Giants making a run going 8-2 over their last 10. They can win another series against the Brewers with a win here. We'll grab one of the best later season lefties in the game in Madison Bumgarner as a dog. Mad Bum is 4-1 at Milwaukee and 8-3 in his last 11 overall vs the Brew Crew with an ERA under 3. He's 5-0 on Saturday. What's more, he's getting run support from the surging Giants' bats. We'll look for them to get the best of Zach Davies who hasn't won a game since June 8th. He's 2-5 on Saturdays and 3-8 in Game 2 of a series. Giants the call.
