The Fryguy Invectives: Free Coin: Frey’s NFL Locks of the Week!

For all real Americans (and some unusually cool foreigners) the beginning of the NFL season is like Christmas morning for secular children who like getting free crap.

And because everyone likes free crap, I have decided to spread the largesse of my wisdom among the bold.

Hop on the lift while it is on the ground floor my friends!

Week 1

New Orleans (-1.5) @ Atlanta

Unless I am plagued by a Roger Clemensian strain of “misremembering”, New Orleans is good and Atlanta is not.

"No your honor. I think Frey is misremembering how crappy the Falcons are compared to the Saints."

Couple this with the fact that Atlanta fans are exceeded in apathy only by those front-runners in Miami and you have a recipe for a home loss.

Any dome advantage is, of course, negated by the fact that the Saints play in that big stinky hurricane shelter and the circle is complete.

I like the Saints to win and cover.

Minnesota @ St. Louis (-3)

Many people are saying, “The Rams can’t win. I mean, who the hell is their quarterback going to be now that Bradford is done for the season again?”

Since the answer is not “Matt Cassel”, I think they will do better than the Vikings. MUCH better….

The stout D and home field ensure that the Rams cover here.

Oakland @ NY Jets (-4.5)

The best thing about the Raiders is that their offense is always sure to get the ball back in their hands very quickly following their opponent’s possession.

The catch is that it always comes right after surrendering another 7 points.

When you are a 3-13 team that benches a defeated and demoralized Matt Schaub and people still ask, “What the hell are they doing?”, you know you are screwed.

This may be the only time this year I feel this good about the Jets.

Washington @ Houston (-2.5)

If you are going to bet on the Texans now is the time to do it. Ryan Fitzpatrick hasn’t had the opportunity to suck horribly yet and Arian Foster has at least 2-3 games in him before hitting the IR.

Washington is going to be mediocre or worse no matter what time of year you wanna take them.
