FWIW, my opinion is to not weigh much into teams that have to win. Furthermore if a team wins, they get a higher seeding matters less than reality.

DDDD (Double Digit Division Dogs) have been 67% this year, with a tiny "n" of 6.

Yeah, the last week always seems to be a tough one. Some teams are playing for a bye week, some are playing for a higher draft spot, some teams I have no idea what they're doing. I was looking at that Miami game with them getting 9, but they way they looked against Indy scares me a little.

I see you're in San Clemente. I was stationed at Camp Pendleton from 84-88, I loved San Clemente and have great memories of it.

Was -3.5 against Dallas. Dallas has no QB, and Bryant was placed on IR.

Did you see how bad the Ravens looked in their first 2 home games vs Seattle & Chiefs? While the Steelers were waxing opponents......the Pitt goes in as a -10 pt road fav & loses outright! The NFL is f**ked up like this......just when the public gets off the team, like you are with Miami, it bounces back to cover.

That's exactly what the Ravens did last week......

Se thing with Atlanta going into the Jaguars, everyone & their mother was betting against them.because they had enough of losing money on them.....you just gotta know, or hope to know when to jump on a team, & when to bail on them.

HOU -6

Hoyer is back this week. JAX missing RB Yeldon and giving up 28 pts/game HOU playing really well of late & edge in pass and rush O and rush D

 

[texansfan]

Looking at that game jgm, as well as Det and the NYG. Was may rest some starters, and it's a divisional game so I might lay off that one. I like Mia, but as stated earlier, can they score.

I hear you TCG, it's almost a crapshoot every week. Atl has screwed me a couple of times this year, as have the Giants.

4 wins and I have 2nd locked up, I think I win it with 5 wins.

 

[texansfan]

Ten against Indy getting 6. No QB for Indy, but no QB for Ten either.

Cool! San Clemente is one nice place. Being stationed in CP was a blessing. I went to HS in North Houston on FM 1960 from 82-86!

 

[chonce]

I like KC-6.5 Buffalo +3, Tenn +6 (though it is off board at most places) and NYG/PHI UNDER 51.5.

 

[jgm4661]

CIN -6

Actually this looks like the best deal. CIN gets Ty Eifert and his 12 Tds back. Winning by 10 pts on avg while BAL losing by 5 pts so they should win by double digits especially at home

BAL got lucky last week They still have 3rd stringers on O and Ryan Mallett has been there 2 weeks. CIN can lock up a 1st rnd bye so they will be playing hard.

Minnesota +3

Vikings come in as healthy as they have been all season, Packers battered, bruised and no confidence. Vikes much better team now than when they played Green Bay, calling an efficient game plan for Teddy, also the Vikes are getting good contributions from rookies Hunter and Harris now. Packers only wins of late are Dallas with Cassle, a hail mary and Oakland. Vikes have righted the ship

 

[texansfan]

Thanks guys, I've been reading everything. I like getting opinions from everyone.

Derry, small world, I live in the Champions area.

 

[slapshot]

Cinn -7

 

[texansfan]

I like Cindy slapshot, think they handle Bal like Pitt thought they would.

 

[Greenbacks]

I like the Cowboys -4

Also like the Jaguars +6.5....Jags can keep it close

Good luck!
