Guessing
of the Lines pick record: 24-14
I
GOT ROBBED ON MY CHARGERS PICK! I despise
the Ravens, well mostly just Flacco, to begin with. Then he and them go and pull a miracle out of
you know where when the Chargers were in “charge” of the game the whole
way. I guess this game allows me to
illustrate the point of picking the “right” side and losing. There were 73 minutes and 48 seconds of game
time in this game. The Chargers were
covering the spread for 73 minutes and 47 seconds.
By
the way, I said I didn’t like Flacco and the Ravens, but if I were to win a
Ravens shirt while watching Monday night football at my favorite bar last
season I wouldn’t throw that shirt away or anything. I might even wear it occasionally. I know you were all pondering this, well at
least the Christian readers were.
Let’s
get into my guesses. I promised you I
wouldn’t suck as badly this week. BINGO!
| Away | Home | Guess | SC Line |
| Saints | Falcons | Falcons -4 | Falcons -4 |
| Jags | Bills | Bills -7 | Bills -6 |
| Seahawks | Bears | Bears -5.5 | Bears -3.5 |
| Colts | Lions | Lions -3 | Lions -5 |
| Vikes | Pack | Pack -7.5 | Pack -9 |
| Panthers | Chiefs | Panthers -2.5 | Panthers -3 |
| Pats | Dolphins | Pats -6 | Pats -7.5 |
| Cards | Jets | Jets -5.5 | Jets -4.5 |
| 49ers | Rams | 49ers -6 | 49ers -7 |
| Texans | Titans | Texans -7.5 | Texans -6 |
| Bucs | Broncos | Broncos -4.5 | Broncos -7 |
| Steelers | Ravens | Ravens -5.5 | Ravens -7 |
| Browns | Raiders | PK | PK |
| Bengals | Chargers | Chargers -1.5 | Bengals -1.5 |
| Eagles | Cowboys | Cowboys -7 | Cowboys -10 |
| Giants | Redskins | Giants -2 | Giants -2.5 |
Bucs
@ Broncos
I’m
a little torn on this one. There’s a lot
going on. Here are my thoughts: 1. Opposing
teams, especially teams that don’t play in Denver every year, tend to have a
tough time with the thin air. 2. Everyone thinks the Broncos are good. 3. Some
people think the Bucs are good. Some don’t. 4. The
public loves to bet on Peyton. 5. The Broncos clinch the AFC West with this
win. 6.
The Bucs need this win much more than the Broncos.
I’m
going to hope this line is 7 and not 4.5ish because the perception is the
public will hammer the Broncos. This
line COULD be 7 because Vegas thinks the Broncos are that much better than the
Bucs. I have to believe there’s some
sort of public bias factored into the line.
Take Bucs +7
Bengals
@ Chargers
This
one isn’t easy either, at first glance.
The Bengals have won 3 in a row, granted 2 of those wins came against 2
of the worst teams in the NFL in the Chiefs and Raiders. They’re putting up lots of points each week,
and they’re back in the thick of the Wild Card race. The Chargers are starting to invent ways to
lose: Norv being Norv(invented a long time ago), Rivers throwing 16 picks, the
defense giving up a 4th & 101 late in the 4th quarter,
just to name a few. Intuitively, who
really thinks the Chargers will cover this spread? I DO!
You know damn well the public will be on the Bengals. Follow me.
If you’re a typical public bettor, this is what you’re thinking: the
Chargers find ways to lose, the Bengals essentially just need to win the game,
the Bengals are playing for something, the Bengals are scoring a lot of points,
the Bengals have won 3 in a row…blah blah blah.
TAKE THE CHARGERS!
Eagles
@ Cowboys
VEGAS
FINALLY DID IT! The Eagles are 1-10
against the SC spread, so Vegas finally said “let’s throw out a number so big
so the Eagles are forced to cover!” I
know the Eagles are pitiful. Just take
them to cover this spread. And as
@VegasRunner likes to say, sprinkle a little on the moneyline while you’re at
it.
