Guessing The Lines
I went 1-4 in both pools last week, and I was 0-4 until the Bears came through on Monday night. But I don’t want to dwell on that.
Here are my numbers for Week 13:
I was pretty close to the number on most of these, but a few jump out. The Cowboys beat up on lesser teams, but Seattle could give them a fight. I don’t know, the Seahawks are in between average and above average, so maybe my line is too small.
The Lions are laying four in New Orleans, and that seems steep, given the Lions were life and death with the Bears, then got worked at home by the Packers. Is this a bounceback or will the Saints give them a game? It feels like the latter, as Detroit’s defense has been poor of late.
I kind of like the Team to hang with the Dolphins in what could be chilly weather. Nine seems like a lot.
I thought the market would like the red-hot Broncos more, but it doesn’t. C.J. Stroud is for real, but 3.5 is significant in what should be a tight game. Just have to decide if that’s a trap.
And why are the 49ers laying wood in Philly? Am I missing an injury?
I think the Niners are laying wood in Philly because Philly is coming off of two come-from-behind wins, one took them to overtime. Niners are coming off a Thursday game so they have the extra days of rest. Lane Johnson on the Eagles has a groin so he’s questionable. The line opened Eagles -1 but I think the public feels like the Eagles can’t go 3-0 in a row against above average teams. Gonna be a good game.
