The line now at -6 super tempting
Well I just put a small bet on cards at +5.5, but I'm not very confident.

But it feels wrong not to bet on my team week 1, even though I kind of expect to lose.

KC has just as many questions going into the year as we do. Questions at WR, defense has lost a few core pieces like Honey Badger. I trust Andy Reid way more than Kliff to have their team ready, however I always give us a punchers chance.
This time last year, most people were writing us off starting the season in Tennessee. I'm going to be cautiously optimistic until the team give me a reason not to be. We have seen next to nothing of the starters this preseason, so maybe they come out playing some inspired football. My biggest questions are on defense but I think our starting offensive unit can keep pace with anyone (assuming everyone stays healthy).

Serious question

Analysts seem to think Rodgers and Mahomes can turn lemons into lemonade.

Has any top QB ever suffered such a drop off in receiver talent and still been as good?

This is my question as well. At least KC tried to replace some receivers with Juju and Scantling. GB did nothing but draft a couple of rookies. I don't see how everyone thinks GB will be top 3 in NFC. They have lots of questions.

Scantling is overrated. He has a sub 50% catch rate with Rodgers and never hit 700 yards. He's slightly better JJ Nelson.

I like Juju and think he has upside but he's been a 50 yards a game guy since 2018. Less than AJ Green last year.
