Thoughts on under 37.5 KC/Baltimore week 1

Thoughts on under 37.5 KC/Baltimore week 1 Some books have taken this game down due to the possibile injury of Chiefs QB Cassel. I played under 37.5 -105 last night when the Cassel news first came out with the hope this number drops through the key number 37. I don't usually like to go overboard with pre-season games but it looks like the Ravens defense has played exceptionally well (what's new there?) so far this exhibtion season. They are also 3-0 and have looked very solid. The Chiefs on the other hand have looked quite a bit out of sync offensively thus far and are 0-3. They have averaged the least amount of points per game in the pre-season (11 PPG). My thoughts: The total is on the wrong side of a key number and will close a point lower (esp if Cassel is announced out for the game). Not worried so much about winning or losing the bet quite yet but more concerned with a line move. Any thoughts?

I actually don't think Cassel makes a big difference in the total. The KC offense was at their best last year when Tyler Thigpen was playing QB. However, the Chiefs and Jags were discussing a trade for him last week. I think they have to keep him now. Croyle has actually been a little better than him this preseason. Don't know what I am doing with this if anything yet. Gonzalez was clearly effective in Chan Gailey's "Arrowspread", but he's in Atlanta now. However, WR's are upgraded with the additions of Engram and Toomer. I have to see who is the starter for this one first.

chiefs o line is very bad

What a line move in this one - from -7 in April to -13 now. I thought my -9.5 was very flaky (after the OC news in anticipation of a big # jump) but now it looks super EV.

qb Matt Cassell practiced yesterday with the Chiefs. Still nothing as to if he will play on Sunday. One would have to think that if he practices on Mon---he will play on Subday. "O" line is still very very bad on the right side.

34-3 Ravens

Line now 36
