Atlanta at Detroit (12/22/2012)

I don't know alecboyh, I'm gonna go with the logic that the NFC is a tougher conference than the AFC and that's why its ATL-3.5 and Pats-14.  I'm mean seriously if the Jags played ATL I think ATL would be favored by double digits easily. Remember its either the Pats or Pit that comes out the AFC majority of the decade. The NFC has had 4 out of the 5 last Superbowls. I'd be on DET if it was a thursday night game  cause those always seem to scream underdog.  But lately however the favorites have covered the last few thurday and monday night games. Broncos, Titans, patriots, begals.  All favorites all covered.  That underdog crap is for the first part of the season now that these teams are on the scouting report the better teams are covering because of the real refs are actually calling the games not the replacement killers earlier this year.   But this is Saturday night, not thurday night not monday night. There is no rest issues for these teams. To be honest with you I'm guilty of betting favorites a lot bro.  Then you have some bettors who mostly pick dogs.  This is the ideal spot to go against the favorite....but not this time of year its about to be playoff time.  In otherwords don't let the sportsbook psyche you out of picking the clearly superior team in every category- ATL-3. 

I can't tell you how many cappers were really trying to persuade themselves to take the eagles last week against a red hot Bengals team.  With no defensive coordinator, no lashawn Mccoy, no vick no nothing. take the points take the points, 

..laying the 3.5! Any team...college, NFL, CFL, flag football, 2 hand touch would fight for home field advantage!
