CAROL -3 No
Fig Newton? No problem. Sharps were quick to bang the opening number up
to 7 from 5 before Fig rolled his Ram. The overreaction to dropping this
number to 3 means we have nice value on a favorite that can still smell
the playoffs. Last week's divisional rout of New Orleans is proof of
that.
CINCI +1 We must believe the
Bengals are a good team to buy into a revenge factor here. I'm making a
purchase based on Marvin Lewis' ability to scheme up a defensive plan
that stops midgets dead in their tracks. Honestly, if Hoyer was QBing,
Cinci would have been a field goal favorite but the Manziel hype makes
the Bengals the good value side.
WASH +7
It's good to know the Skins have finally settled on Sonny Jurgenson
as their starting QB. This should give some stability to a team which
needs it. Washy is one of only 2 teams with positive point differential
and a losing record, so they're not as bad as we think. They'll be
reminded of the 45-14 thrashing the Giants gave them back in October. It
may help.
DNV -4.5 Not a smart bet,
but just a gut play that the Broncos are ready to punch their playoff
ticket now rather than later. The missing offensive pieces of the past
few games are all back on the field for this week, and I suspect a
motivated but outclassed Charger team will melt down sometime after
halftime. They don't handle adversity well. I see a backdoor cover for
the favorite in my future.
INDY/HOU O 49 One total and for Cy's sake it's an over.

Upped the ante on the Bengals, have them for a unit each @ +1 and +2.5. I'm simply ignoring page 14, section 12, article 81 of the NFL Bettor's Handbook which strongly discourages such action on a Marvin Lewis coached team. Throwing caution to the wind. You only live once.

no Julio Jones probably means no Atlanta for us. White is hurt too. for a team with only the passing game as its strength, can't take them against a better offense.

One of the rare times when an injury to a single player would take me off an otherwise good bet. Well said.

exactly. i usually ignore injuries or even play on the injured team if it moves the line but Atl has a garbage defense, below average running game, questionable coaching and a good passing game. with jones and white out or limited, not sure why i'd want to take them without getting a lot of points. pitt should be able to score a lot today.
also, i'm glad i put miami in at +7.5 when it's 9.5 and growing right now.

The analytical approach says Miami matches up well enough with NE to make this an interesting game. The recent eye test(at least what I've seen) says otherwise. Good Luck with that one. I have no clue.

Ok, proceed with caution, didn't have as much time as i'd like, changed my mind once or twice, and made some mistakes predicting the lines but betting anyway. might be one or two too many on here.
Tennessee +3 -115 Miami +7.5 Buffalo +3.5 SF +10 -120 Washington +7 Minnesota +8

CD Sports : let's get a couple going right now while the lines are where we like them:
Miami +7.5 Tennessee +3 -115
The line finally scared me off the Titans, CD. I just can't get a logical grasp as to why the Jets are the favorite here. Do "they" know something ? Who the heck knows. I just couldn't play it. At least it'll save me from the curse of the Titans which you know all too well.

If I can believe in Santa Claus for a month, I can believe in Marvin Lewis for one game. Amen,Brother M.

Incredibly, the Bears haven't scored more than 28 all year. The Saints have done it only 4 times in 13 games. These offenses seem to be more smoke and mirrors than reality. The respective defenses are not good, but it's not like either team hasn't played a few soft defenses this year. Small bet on the Under 27 for the 1st half.
In more pressing news, the Jaguars are favored by 3 over Tenny on Thursday night,the first time playing the role of the better team in over 2 years. Go Jags
