Most lines are out...I think if Gradkowski starts then Oakland + the points will be a bet...also liking Tennessee -3 (yup, I'm backing these tards again), the Jets -3.5, Packers -3, and leaning toward the 49ers +11.

BOL to all.

OMFG Oakland is getting 16.5??? Yah I'll take that, don't believe these are the '06 Chargers after one good game. Every other line is exactly what I expected. Atl-NO maybe a tad high.

This is a tough line man and I think it would be a gamble. The bears been giving up too much points as of late and looking shakey on offense. Stay away!

Chargers were beating it yesterday and Oakland bench Russell. I see Chargers winning by like 17. This is not like week one when Oakland almost beat them at home, the chargers are clicking right now and with a healthy LT in the backfield, I would stay away from this spread.

Broncos +4 FTW. I like how the handicappers are giving denver odds. I wonder what the over under is in this game because all signs point to under 42.

The way to beat balt def is deep passing. No such luck for den.

I agree but
Denver D will apply the pressure on flaco and we saw in the vikings game that Flaco can't handle the pressure. The key will be Denvers defense IMO

13.5 is the proper saints line. People leveling themselves again. Oh well. I will keep milking this until the end. The saints match up very well vs. ATL. The stress of their last game would make me cautious but this is the saints first division game and since it is on monday night they get an extra day of rest. Saints -9 is my first pick. I will go for the middle too if it gets to 10.5 by kickoff.

i don't think he's betting on the bears, he's betting against the browns.

i thought your post meant you'd take falcons +10.5 to middle, despite setting line at 13.5. i probably misinterpreted because i am in fact a sports betting donk, but if you could clarify what you meant that would alleviate my noob confusion.

to your latter point you're right, i have no illusions about my being able to beat sports, but that doesn't prevent me from making pseudo-analysis and rationalizing betting vigfree lines

Beating Kansas City(after losing 2 straight games) means they're "clicking"?
