Week 6
So a favorite technique of mine last year in figuring what team to bet on would be to see the game, guess the line, view the Vegas line, and then take the games where the biggest disparity exists. Let’s do it and see how this goes. Actual line will be put in bold using pinnaclesports.
Detroit @ Green Bay
I think the Packers are due for a big game from the offense, let’s put this line at Pack minus 9. (GB -13)
Kansas City @ Washington
Did not see either team play this week or even a single highlight. Both tems are bad, Washington minus 4. Wash (-6.5)
Houston @ Cincinnati
How about them Bengals. Cincy minus 4.5 Cinc (-4)
Carolina @ Tampa Bay
There is every chance that the line on this will end up lower than the number of INTs, I’ll say TB minus 1 (Car -3)
Cleveland @ Pitt
Is Polamalu back? I think that he more than any other defensive player affects the line on a game. Let’s say the line is Pitt minus 11 Pitt (-14)
Giants @ New Orleans
Whether it turns out that way who knows but at the moment this is the game of the year, and I won’t see a moment of it while at work at City Sports. Bummer. Giants minus 1.5 Saints (-3)
Baltimore @ Minnesota
Very tough game. Flacco looked not too hot last week and Minnesota’s D is legitimate. Minn minus 3.5 Minn (-3)
St Louis @ Jax
It is a testament to how awful Lou’s bet earlier in the year on Rams winning the NFC West was when a team that lost 41-0 last week will be minus 8.5 this week Jax (-10)
Arizona @ Seattle
Seattle minus 2, literally any possible score combination at the end of this game cannot be considered surprising. Sea (-3)
Phil @ Oak
Only the second road favorite of the week, let’s call it Phil minus 9 (Phil -14)
Buffalo @ Jets
Jets minus 5 No line yet
Tennessee @ New England
New England minus 6.5 NE (-9.5)
Chicago @ Atlanta
Atlanta minus 3.5 Atl (-3)
Denver @ San Diego
Sexy little match up. San Diego minus 2.5 SD (-4)
So, what does this tell us? This week my picks are Detroit, Tampa, Giants, and Oakland. Pretty nauseating group outside of the Giants (who are playing arguably the hottest team in the league right now). Let’s see how things go.
