Guessing The Lines
I’ve been on a decent run of late — 8-2 the last two weeks. It’s not enough to salvage the quarter or the year, but I’ve got one more “bye” week, so to speak, then have to put together a good Q3.
Vikings at Rams — I’ll say Vikings -4.5 and probably stay away on the short week.
Ravens at Browns — Alan Seslowsky told me it was nine. I would have made it around 7.5, but not sure that’s enough to take the Browns. Might be a dead cat bounce off the Deshaun Watson injury.
Titans at Lions — I’d have made this 13, but Seslowsky told me it was 11.5. Could be a look-ahead game, but otherwise Lions win by 20-plus.
Colts at Texans — I’ll say this is six. Anthony Richardson drags down Indy, but the Texans can’t pass block, and the offense is sluggish.
Packers at Jaguars — Maybe Packers -4.5. I’ll stay away.
Cardinals at Dolphins — If Tua is back, maybe Cardinals +4.5. Stay away.
Jets at Patriots — Seslowsky told me it was Jets -6.5. I kind of like the Jets here in a get well spot. Drake Maye might be a player though.
Falcons at Buccaneers — The Bucs are missing both star wideouts. The Falcons offense is out of sync. I’ll say Falcons +1.5 and consider taking them.
Eagles at Bengals — I’ll say Eagles +2.5 and probably take Cincy.
Saints at Chargers — If no Derek Carr, then Saints +6.5. The Chargers offense is pretty bad, though.
Bills at Seahawks — I’ll go Bills -2.5 and probably sell the Seahawks off last week’s win over the Falcons.
Bears at Indigenous Peoples — If Jayden Daniels is playing then Bears +2.5. If not, then Bears -2.5. Stay away probably.
Panthers at Broncos — I think Seslowsky said this was nine. I’d hold my nose and take the Panthers, but probably a stay away.
Chiefs at Raiders — I’d say Chiefs -7 and consider the Raiders in a division game.
Cowboys at 49ers — Maybe Cowboys +4.5. I have to think about this one.
Giants at Steelers — Giants +7.5 with the offensive line problems. I’d probably lay the wood, to be honest, but their defense is decent.
