Guessing The Lines
I went 4-1 last week, but it’s just the beginning of digging out of a deep hole, so I’m not gonna get excited about it just yet.
Broncos at Saints — I’d say Broncos -2. Feels like a Saints bet at home with the short week, but I won’t use it.
Patriots vs Jaguars (London) — Think I saw this line was 5.5 or something. That seems big, but Jaguars are probably a hold-your-nose-and-buy-low.
Seahawks at Falcons — Think I saw this was 2.5. I kind of like the Falcons but the Seahawks are the buy-low.
Titans at Bills — Amari Cooper is just what the Bills needed. I don’t see the point in the Titans. I’ll say 10 and if anything would lay the wood.
Bengals at Browns — Maybe Bengals -3.5, and you’d take the Browns as a buy-low in division, but I can’t.
Texans at Packers — Texans +2.5 and probably take the Packers at home. The Texans offense is too slow.
Dolphins at Colts — Dolphins +4, probably take the Colts, though it’s unclear who the QB will be.
Lions at Vikings — Make it Lions +2, but the loss of Aidan Hutchinson really hurts. I’d probably take the Lions still.
Eagles at Giants — I’ll say Eagles -3 with Andrew Thomas out. And who knows about Malik Nabers with the lingering concussion? The Giants are playing better though. Pass.
Raiders at Rams — I’ll say Raiders plus 3.5. Probably take the Raiders if pressed, but pass.
Panthers at Indigenous Peoples — Maybe 8.5, would probably take the Panthers.
Chiefs at 49ers — Think I saw the 49ers were slight favorites. I’ll make it Chiefs +2, take the 49ers.
Jets at Steelers — I’d make it a pick’em and probably take the Jets. Not because of Davante Adams, but Russell Wilson if he starts.
Ravens at Buccaneers — Let’s say Ravens -3. I’d probably lay the wood in that case too.
Chargers at Cardinals — What’s wrong with Kyler Murray? I’ll say Chargers minus 2.5 and maybe hold my nose with the Cardinals.
