ReraiseAllIn 0 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I would be curious what the over/under line for the Giant sacks is for that game. I feel bad for Palmer. Link to post Share on other sites

fjl2nd 0 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 How bout Bills -9.5 over the Raiders at home? I'll probably bet it mainly because I am a Bills fan but I don't think it is a terrible bet anyways. Link to post Share on other sites

cujo33 0 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I really can't see the chiefs beating anyone this season. The raiders were going to be there easiest test Link to post Share on other sites

I'll probably bet it mainly because I am a Bills fan but I don't think it is a terrible bet anyways.That's why I don't ever bet the Cowboys...tends to cloud your view. However... that looks like a pretty dangerous play right now. There's a lot of play going to the Bills so this line is going to go up.... if it goes to 10.5 I'd take the Raiders and the points.

I am a little uneasy about this one especially with the line keep going up. Link to post Share on other sites
fjl2nd 0 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 How bout Lions +4 against SF? I like that game and maybe NYJ +9. Link to post Share on other sites
Tactical Bear 3 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Week 3 NFL LeansKC +5.5 @ ATLThis game reminds me a lot of the OAKie game from last week. Bad team catching points at bad team. Dallas @ Green Bay +3Carolina @ Minnesota -3.5Houston +5 @ TennesseeSt. Louis @ Seattle -9.5 That seems like waaay too many point for Seattle to be laying, right?OAKie +9.5 @ Buffalo Jacksonville +5 @ IndyI also might give Pittsburgh +3.5 @ Philly a look, but I really like this Philadelphia team, and don't feel too comfortable fading them coming off a Monday Night football loss. This one probably won't catch a play, but I'd really like to.EDIT-Add San Diego -9.5 to the list. Link to post Share on other sites
Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Houston +5 @ TennesseeI also might give Pittsburgh +3.5 @ Philly a look, but I really like this Philadelphia team, and don't feel too comfortable fading them coming off a Monday Night football loss. This one probably won't catch a play, but I'd really like to.I like the Houston game a lot, it doesn't seem like they're getting enough points here.Even after coming off of a loss on MNF, I'm getting the feel that the public view is really high on Phila, and probably low on Pit since they're unimpressive Sunday night win.Edit: That SD game seems like a lot of points to be giving up...book it.Edit Edit: NYJ are getting 62% of the action as a road underdog. You going to unload your whole bankroll on this game? Link to post Share on other sites

pezeveng 207 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 bet the dog in any games that the line is set at 5 or 5.5. This line for some reason becomes an easy dog line. The Vikings as 3.5 point favs against the 2-0 panthers is messed up. My early leans this week are Houston and Jacksonville. Both div games with too many points.Indy without Saturday is not the same team. The center position in football is the most overlooked position. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,353 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Week 3 NFL LeansKC +5.5 @ ATL Seems like the public is pounding atl pretty hard..I also noticed the line moved the wrong dirrection on the minnesota game, as the majority of the public is betting on carolina, yet the line went from car +3 to car +3.5.....I'll make my picks this week to be KC +6.5, Minnesota ( 2 units) -3.5 and Greenbay +3 (2 units) Link to post Share on other sites
powerpoker 0 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 CONTRARIAN ALERT: Houston opened at +5, Tennessee has got 65% of the action, and the line is now at 4.5.Im curious as if contrarianism is better used if numbers that are moving are acutally crossing "key" numbers not insignificant ones. A move from 5 to 4.5 is basically the same number, and is rather unimportant and i dont consider this an important line move. Wonder if someone wanted to actually track games that move over key numbers and what the ATS is there. If this line moved from 5 to 3.5 and crossed a key number being 4, i think it should be noted because thats an important number. Link to post Share on other sites

Contrarianism is simply the idea that the majority of people are wrong so bet the other way. If a line moved across a number..that in itself could make me look at it more closely. To be an effective true contrarianist... you would have to play every single game for the numbers to have any true value. To simply say that the masses are generally wrong so taking the Panthers against the Vikes makes that a good bet is false. Good luck everyone! Link to post Share on other sites
