The Pick: My 200 Dime winner is the Carolina Panthers.
The Line: The current line is -5 1/2 at the majority of books in Vegas and offshore as of 7:00 am EST. Be sure to shop around for the best line available.
Note: At this price you play it as it is. Now if the line should move to anywhere from -6 to -7 1/2 points, then you buy the half-point down.
My Analysis
I will be absolutely shocked if they don't win this game by double digits.
When the Carolina Panthers started the season with a pair of road losses at Jacksonville and Arizona, the whole world figured another bad season was here.
Then a funny thing happened: They shocked the world with one of the most eye opening wins of the NFL season: a 30-0 home shutout of the Falcons.
That was an Atlanta team rolling into Charlotte with all the confidence in the world after a 22-6 road win at Minnesota the week before.
Their defense held Bijan Robinson to 72 yards rushing and Michael Penix Jr to 172 yards passing and 2 INT's in the shutout win.
They lost at New England the next week but came back to win their next 3: home wins over Miami 27-24 and the Cowboys 30-27 before beating the Jets on the road 13-6.
Yes, Josh Allen and the Bills came out of their bye week an angry bunch and dismantled them 40-9.
However, what they did last week better make the rest of the NFL take notice of this team because they are starting to believe the NFL playoffs are not a pipe dream.
As a 13 1/2 point underdog they shocked the world and won outright 16-13!!!!
It wasn't a fluke folks: they held the Packers offense to less than 300 yards total offense, 104 rushing/265 passing in the 3-point outright win.
Now 5-2 their last 7, they now come home thinking playoffs and why not???
They are not playing the 7-2 Patriots or the 6-2 Buffalo Bills, the last 2 teams to beat them, but the 1-8 New Orleans Saints, arguably the worst team in the NFL.
And last week when they arrived in LA, head coach Kellen Moore decided to bench Spencer Rattler for rookie Tyler Shough.
Well, with Rattler at QB they lost their first 3 road games by 31 at Seattle, 12 at Buffalo and 12 at Chicago.
Simply put, Mr. Shough, you never had a chance last week.
In the 34-10 beatdown, Shough was 15 of 24 for 167 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. The Saints had 10 first downs for the whole game.
Now you want me to believe, this team, that has lost 4 in a row both SU and ATS and all 4 road games by double digits, will rally around this rookie????
Against a defense playing lights out and just held the Green Bay Packers to 13 points in Lambeau!!!!!
A defense that has already beaten the following: Michael Penix Jr. Tua Tagovailoa. Dak Prescott. Jordan Love.
If Shough plays the game of his life and stays within 7 points today, so be it, I will tip my cap and move on my way.
But this Panthers team has quietly covered 6 of it's last 9 and 5-0 ATS last 5 versus NFC opponents!!!!
And as I said at the top, I will be shocked if this isn't a blowout today.
Prop bet: Grab the Panthers at +260 to make the playoffs!!!!!!

LANG'S PICK: CAROLINA PANTHERS -5 1/2 vs NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Forget the 100 dime winner on Saturday with Louisiana Lafayette (+3) 42-39 over Texas State, a game I told you the Ragin Cajuns would win outright.
It was a winning Saturday I told you I had to have because of what was in store for you on Sunday.
The Ultra Rare 200 Dime Money Move #2 In A Row
You remember #1 don't you? It was October 12th, week 6 when I hammered the Steelers at home (-6) over rookie QB Dillion Gabriel and the Browns:
Pittsburgh dominated the young man out of Oregon 23-9 as Mike Tomlin went to 15-1 against rookie QB's at home as coach of the Steelers.
Well sports fans, I waited 28 days this time and I have found the right game, the right line and the right situation to bring down the house with #2 in a row today.
Hard pressed to find anyone hotter in the NFL the past 5 weeks:
LAST 14 NFL RELEASES
11-3
$10 Better Has Made $4,770
That number above should give you the confidence that I am not going to lose this 200 dime release today!!!
Time for 200 dime winner #2 in a row and NFL winner #12 of 15 right now.
Simply put, nothing more to say, nothing more to do.
Let's go.
Carolina off a big win. Saints divisional game.
Dumb pick by Lang, either result, laying those points. Only thing going for him there is home field.
Because all of a sudden your getting insane value if you take the live line vs the original betting line....if you have a team -7 at game time and then get down early and now you are getting them +7....its surely a lot harder to lose those plays compared to pregame line. My live bets are waaaaay better than bets against the original line....you can literally grab value on either side as the line changes....Penn State vs Indiana yesterday +14 it got up to +21 1/2 live at one point....while I was watching it it was -9.5 at 1 point ended up tight and much better lines I didnt see later.....so if you are live wagering regardless of the team in this scenario you could have beat the line by insane amounts over 5 points on each side just in that scenario. Now if you think a favorite is going to win by 30 then waiting live to bet that favorite is probably a terrible idea as the line will keep going up on them as they score unless you were wrong and they get down early and have to fight back off double digits. Live lines are the easiest way to hedge bets or get extra value. Especially small favorites that get down early....a lot of times you can grab PLUS money on money line without laying any points at all
