Las Vegas - Week 2 is here, and we're ready.

Kick it with the Bills -5.5 points over the Dolphins. Going ALL in on my favorite New York, actually, the ONLY team in New York, the Bills. Last season, the Buffs had no trouble with the Fish, posting a 31-21 win at home, and then an even easier 37-20 W down in Miami. This game is really about a young gun that's just starting to realize his potential, 24 year old Josh Allen, against an aging, okay VERY old, well-traveled (eight different teams) veteran QB, 37 year old Ryan Fitzpatrick. Who needs to TRIM that beard. One week doesn't make a season, but the GIGANTIC stats gap between these two is Grand Canyon-esque. Allen was 33 of 46 for 312 yards, 2 TDs and NO INTs, while Fitzpatrick hit 20 of 30 for only 191 yards, with NO TDs and THREE INTs. Fitz from Harvard gets the nod over Allen from Wyoming in the classroom. But we AIN'T ZOOMING today, we're on the grass, and it's gonna be an easy breezy W for Buffs. Only one thing left to say, and you know what's coming, this IS my BEST BET BAABBEEE!!!

Also gonna try the Packers -6.5 points over the Lions. Speaking of Mr. Discount Double Check, Aaron Rodgers told the Green Bay front office that I got your Jordan Love RIGHT HERE, with a brilliant week one outing (364 yards and 4 TDs). Now he faces a Detroit team that has covered only two of its last 12, and has a secondary that's in a world of hurt. Maybe Lions coach Matt Patricia needs to call his old boss, Double B, Bill Belichick, and ask for some help to end the UGLY ten game losing streak.

And we've decided to give the Other Silver Brother another week. IF you remember last week, OSB had Tennessee as his best bet, and told me that IF Gostkowski had not missed three FGs and an XP, it woulda been an easy cover. But as one of the old sayings goes, 'If IFS and buts were beer and nuts, oh what a party we'd have.' He hit his three team 10-point teaser last week, so Silver is back for more. His BB today is Seattle -4 over New England, and his three teamer is, San Fran from -7 to +3, Buffalo from -6 to +4 and KC from -9 to +1.

Jumping across the pond to make a few bucks on the soccer pitch in England, and will grab Leicester City over Burnley. The Foxes send out the most prolific striker in the Premier League, Jamie Vardy, last season's Golden Boot winner with 23 goals. The Clarets from Burnley don't have anything close. I'm a FOX for a day!!!
