I loved Unders. I made a killing with them. The way the game has changed has really inflated totals, which I'm okay with that. But this was the final straw. The new rules that they enforced all preseason makes it impossible for me to take an Under now.

You can't touch a receiver, even if they aren't in the play. Read somewhere today that those calls up are like 250% from preseason last year and they are suppose to call it the same way in the regular season.

It use to be Unders or nothing... Now It looks like I'm done with totals...
I think this is horrible for the game and will be incredibly frustrating to fans. There was nothing wrong with the rules last year for WRs

I agree. I thought this would be about college totals, those are overs or pass also.

Will be interesting to see tonight how many flags are actually thrown on those defensive penalties and if they cut back from what we saw in preseason.

There is no way they can throw as many flags as they did in the preseason. They will ruin the game and must know that.

But the rules favor overs, like the OT that counts towards the final score.

For the record, I'm on the under tonight Seahawks D, both run games improved to chew clock, loud stadium, first game kinks to work out usually are harder on O than D.

Could be square, but I feel good on u46.5

The linemakers will adjust and the public will lean to the overs; count on it.

Lol. No I didn't even think about the score. I thought of you when I saw it Chop. I'm gonna change it later today. No way the Cowboys can give any good karma.

Almost all of the early moves in week 2 were up. Books will adjust, they always do. How much and how soon is the key.
