Alright, my plays got buried for tonight, they are on page 1.
2 unit teaser -110 (probably my only one of the year)
-1 Pats
-0.5 Cards
1 unit
ARI -8
As far as the Arizona game goes: The value that I saw was when this line was at +8. Said it earlier in the week in my thread for people to hop on it if they want to bet ARI. It's obvious the line was going to go up because the Cards are at home on MNF against a struggling Ravens team. The public likes betting home teams on MNF and the Cards are hot this year. The value at -9 is still there, albeit a bit less, if you can find it. Any line that's 10 or higher and this is just a no play for me.
As far as seeing value in a line of 10 - it's nice in theory. But you can't forget that the other team has to cover. It's easy to just look at the line and bet it because you're getting a bunch of points. At that point it's easy to come up with a bunch of small time factors or statistics that just don't influence the game enough and get sucked into the juicy line. The Cardinals are coming off a loss and have looked great in every game this year. Carson Palmer can really shine against teams with no pass rush, AKA Baltimore. I think there's a decent chance of a blowout, small-medium Ravens keep it close and very small chance of an upset. Just my best guess. From what I've seen with the Ravens this year, there isn't a compelling reason to bet them against the Cardinals at home. I don't see value in the bet and I'd rather bet money on flipping a coin. Flacco has burned bettors this year many times. As the saying goes, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Not going to be putting my money in an underperforming Balt team hoping they can cover, although 10 points kind of makes you wonder.
BOL to both sides!
