The Freeroll Game, a Follow-up
So I said we were going to keep half an eye on this freeroll game thing from last week so let’s take a looksie back to Week 16. Before we do I should note that on Monday Night Football the Giants crushed the underdog Redskins putting the total for Week 15 at 6 Underdog wins, 2 double the spreads by favorites, and 8 Nothin’ Doin’s. As for Week 16…
San Diego/Tennessee – Underdog San Diego wins
Buffalo/Atlanta – Atlanta doubles spread
Kansas City/Cincinnati – Nothing
Oakland/Cleveland – Cleveland doubles spread
Seattle/Green Bay – Green Bay doubles spread
Houston/Miami – Underdog Houston wins
Jacksonville/New England – New England doubles spread
Tampa Bay/New Orleans – Underdog Tampa Bay wins
Carolina/Giants – Underdog Carolina wins
Baltimore/Pittsburgh – Nothing
St Louis/Arizona – Nothing
Detroit/San Francisco – Nothing
Jets/Indianapolis – Underdog Jets win
Denver/Philadelphia – Nothing
Dallas/Washington – Dallas doubles spread
Minnesota/Chicago – Underdog Chicago wins
WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! what in the name of bill parcells in going on here? 16 games were on the board. 6 underdog outright wins? 5 favorites double the spread? and the people making these lines are professionals! imagine the results if they didn’t know precisely what they were doing! lets see what i like this week.
Chicago (-3) @ Detroit
When has Detroit shown at any point during the season that they should be getting this level of respect? In my mind this line should be 7.
Giants (+9) @ Minnesota
I think the Giants will come to play and give the Vikings a decent fight. I think they would like to end the season with guns drawn.
As a side note, three games this weekend will have a solid chance of being playoff previews during the wild card. In order of sexiness
Packers/Cards
Philly/Dallas
Bengals/Jets
Another side note is that the last week is obviusly gut check time for season total bets. I’m looking at you, Atlanta.

According to the whiteboard, I’m going for a push on Minny under 11. Thinking about the SF and BAL games makes me want to vomit.
I’m anticipating ATL-TB being the best game of the day. Sean and I have action on Oakland under 5.5. I kind of like Oakland +10.5 as literally no one is going to take them, and combined with the futures hedge I’ll probably have to take it.
Happy new year
