Thanks guys!
I'm seeing alot of love out there for Detroit today and I have to admit when I first thought about who wins this game: it was Minnesota.
However, this python script I'm using to sim games usually does well picking underdogs and faves up to -3... I think the perception (and I don't necessarily disagree) is that Minny is a 1st place, contender, powerhouse with a strong Defense and running game. They have motivation to likely seal up an NFC North Championship today as well.
At the same time, Detroit is coming off beating the Bears (who have a decent defense and ground attack ... and significantly less options at WR). They are still in the hunt for a division championship. Whether they make the playoffs or not, this is essentially Detroits superbowl. A chance to beatup/knockdown or even DEFEAT a first-place division rival.
When my script picks dogs to win SU, I'll follow it blindly. The script picked all 3 teams on my card to win SU, so this is just a day where I bet light -- sprinkle some money on a parlay -- and hope for the best. If it wasn't thanksgiving these would easily be 4unit wagers, just don't feel like sweating out bets with my family
I absolutely love the Chargers, the Cowboys really struggle to play defense without Sean Lee at linebacker and the Chargers are going through a bit of a renaissance. Dallas hasn't hit rock-bottom and think they get 'pantsed' in front of millions of families this afternoon.
Happy Thanksgiving to all and see you around the board!!!
Cheers!!
