Can someone talk me out of Carolina -13.5?

[ca$hmoney]

Detroit sucks. They got schooled at home by a Jags team that isn't very good and was laughing at them. I realize that a very solid trend is to take a team that had been blown out the previous week but this is rediculous.

Detroit is down to their 3 string QB, traded their #2 WR, they just got blown out (and laughed at in the process) at home, and now play a team who underperformed the previous week, is a solid running and defensive team, QB had a bad game, blah, blah, blah.

It reminds me of Miami last season. They had no answer for stopping the bleeding.

I am seeing 14.5

 

[ca$hmoney]

I got 14. I don't mind paying a little extra juice.

 

[Drunkn247]

after Jake's performance last week I wouldn't trust laying 14 points. he looked like Jamarcus Russell in Oakland

 

[ca$hmoney]

You can't ignore Oakland defense. With that said, Carolina is at home with Steve Smith and Mussin Mohammed to counter a very solid running attack. Grass will also slow down any speed Detroit may have.

What about the Double Digit dogs this year....Hey I wouldn't play Detroit either but they hung with Chicago on the road and Minny....just playing devils advocate here.

That's why I created this thread. Advocate away!

who else does Detroit know better than Chicago and Minnesota? Aren't most divisional games close?

 

[Drunkn247]

I hear ya, but what about all those other DD dogs that come out...I know that every week I have picked a team in a survivor pool for my dad because he knows nothing about football, and every week the team I tell him is always losing and comes back to win but never covered and this week I told him to take Carolina, so I'm kinda expecting it to be close for that reason also. Who knows I need to win some games tomorrow I had a horrid day. down about 9 units and would like to make back at least 4

 

[ca$hmoney]

If you work your ass off every day and continue to lose after 9 games, how would you feel?

If your top 2 QBs were placed on IR, when one of them was fine to play 2 weeks after he was placed on IR, how would you feel?

If you traded away your #2 wr, how would you feel?

If you were laughed at last week, how would you feel?

If you were to go play on the road vs 7-2 team who likes to play smash mouth defense and run the ball, how would you feel?

If a drunk continued to ask you questions, how would you feel?:toast:

 

[Drunkn247]

Go for it dude,
I just played Atlanta Baltimore, Miami, and Minny So I'm sure if you fade those you will win some money.

Detroit is 3-0 as a double digit road dog this year

 

[shugdawg13]

kc+15 was a lock last week

 

[Kaveman]

Take the points. I can see Det. covering with some garbage time scoring.

 

[WildGeneral]

I'm sure somebody in this forum has the numbers, but I think double-digit dogs in the NFL cover more often than not...

As somebody pointed out above, I wouldn't be surprised to see Carolina winning, say, 28-10 with 3 minutes left...then Culpepper throws a few 20-yard passes to ultimately score a TD with less than a minute remaining.

Final score 28-17, but the game was never close. You lose. JMO.

 

[Michelangelo]

Double digit dogs are 12-1 ATS this year. That won't last. Regression to the mean. Play the DD Favs this week (Det; Mia).

I think you're on the right side cashmoney.

 

[ca$hmoney]

Boy do I know how to pick em!

 

[WildGeneral]

I tried.

[PS: Double-digit dogs in the NFL were 2-0 this week...taking the season to 14-1]
