Cardinals -7 : I got on this play on Tuesday when the line as a lot more attractive. At -6 the play was still a high value play in my eyes. Now at -7, I still feel like it's worth the investment, although there is a good chance that the Cardinals will give up a "meaningless", late TD that'll lead to a push for those who get it at -7. I also wouldn't be surprised at all if the Cardinals completely blow Seattle out (or at least by 2 TDs) of the stadium.
Rams +14 : This line might only get more attractive as people are going gaga over the Falcons. I like the Falcons, especially at home, but I don't see them proving much by running up the score in this game. We know that Atlanta is playing to win and hoping Carolina loses so that they can get the first round bye. Both teams play at noon CT. One thing to keep in mind, if Falcons head coach, Mike Smith, sees that the Panthers are up big at the half or after the 3rd (coaches/players can say they don't scoreboard watch all they want, MOST of them do), he'll sit some of his regulars and not go all out anymore since they'll have nothing to play for. He'll still want the win, of course, but may let up enough to let the Rams cut it down to within a two touchdown lead.
Redskins/49ers u37.5 : A battle of two good defenses and two bad offenses.
Some random numbers to consider...
- Washington's average game score has been 34.0 (16.1 PPG + 17.8 PPGA).
- If the total was 37.5 in Washington's last 10 games, the under would be 9-1.
- The average total in Washington's last 10 games has been 30.3.
- San Francisco's average game score has been 44.6 (20.8 PPG + 23.8 PPGA).
- San Francisco's last 4 games average score has been 26.8.
- If the total was 37.5 in San Fran's last 4 games was 37.5, the under would be 3-1.
- If the total was 37.5 in Wash's last 10 and San Fran's last 4, the under would be 12-2.
...something to keep in mind; the Washington numbers are a lot more consistent and should be recognized as better numbers because of San Fran's coaching change on 10/20. It took Mike Singletary a month and dropping his pants during one halftime speech to get the Niners to play the defense he wants them to play. Both these teams see this as what will be statement games for their coaches. Should be a good, defensive battle.
That's my card for Week 17 so far. I also highly recommend you guys to take Kingdom Come's two-play teaser (Saints +10 and Packers -2.5). I jumped on that one myself on Tuesday as well.
Good luck all.
