Yes, crossing 0 doesn’t mean much.

I tend to think line will be closer 3.5
I said 4-6 depending on outcomes
But personally I wouldput it at 3-3.5
Yeah I agree on what it should be (3ish)

Just wonder if it's not a tad bloated. Sunday outcomes could impact it , though maybe not as much as usual

If Bengals even get to that point of course. Bills are basically on a bye week

I think chargers handle JVille, just a better team on both sides of the ball when reasonably healthy but it’s the chargers. Sure they will find a way to blow it.

Chargers having to got on the road to Bengals, Bills KC(almost definitely 2 of them)
Can't see it
They are a bipolar team
injuries caused alot of inconsistent play... especially early.. They're in better shape now..
we'll see.

You should.. Don't be surprised the Chargers come out of the AFC, assuming Staley stays the hell out of the way..
Like them a lot in Jacksonville

But agreed, Staley is a stooge and does make me a little nervous about playing them

Perine for Bengals makes Burrow/Bengals winner this week. Bengals Roll Sunday night.

Chiefs will play lowest remaining seed. This sets up If KC wins not playing Bill/Bengals till conference Championship if they both win…. This will play Jax or Chargers meaning Bengals play Bills at neutral site (I think) and word is not at Lucas Field? Parlay’s take points and ML favorites. $10 (2) 6 teasers

Only neutral site scenario I believe is Chiefs/Bills AFC championship

Bengals/Bills would be in Buffalo

You are right though -- Indy won't host a neutral site game.

It's kinda weird they haven't figured out where that'd be.....

That sucks if Bengals beat Bills on MNF then maybe game is in Cincinnati? If this plays out game should start 7-3!

Bills/Bengals Divisional match-up would have most likely been in Cincinnati if Bengals won on MNF

That's one of the key points of Bengals gripe with the NFL resolution.....they lost opportunity to control destiny for the 2 seed

Orchard Park is a lot scarier than Arrowhead IMO.....

First "playoff" game, the Titans rattled Lawrence all game, he looked bad. Same game, Jax did not get to the backup Titan QB. Jax was very fortunate to run in a defensive TD, late.
Chargers are pretty healthy after many games of struggling with many dings and missing players, (though WR Williams is ??), the easily survived. Herbert is a top 3-4 NFL QB, Lawrence is not. I see the Chargers getting to Lawrence, too, and Jax, not to Herbert.

Top 3 is a bit high, I'd say top 5 (with the old guys struggling this year kinda moving him up by default as he didn't really show any improvement this year)

But logically the Chargers should win, except for the fact they're the Chargers.

Ekeler probably fumble at the 1 late and fuck us all.

Last week has no bearing on this week but to continue on that narrative the Chargers, who played all their starters, lost to a non playoff team with a interim head coach. Putting a top 3, 4, 5 6 etc personal rating on a QB has no bearing on the game either.

Perhaps not but I do think the Chargers do 2 things better than the Jags....1. Throw the ball 2. stop the other team from throwing the ball and I don't think the Jags can make up for that in other areas. Atleast not in the sense that I think the Chargers aren't the value here.

With Lamar/Tuanon looking out, that UGA parlay looking nice now. Good thing you told me TCU had no shot.

GL with the Chargers bro and your parlay. I wouldn't be upset if the public pushes the line up more. I'll just add if they do.

Herbert going against Jags’ weak pass defense

Lawrence going against strong Chargers pass defense

Turnovers and coaching are things that concern me though. However Chargers have seemed to rewrite the narrative a bit in close games this year….

It was dumb to play starters for sure. Very Chargers like

But Jags are a good match up for them

You can double with the Giants on Sunday after the Chargers are eliminated on Sat.

I’m not betting that game but I think seeing DaBoll offense a 2nd time may benefit Minnesota, NYG is seriously talent deficient and I could see them getting shutdown.

In general think the minn isn’t a good team thing has probably reached the peak of its value. They were a very good fade 2nd half of the season but 3 at home to nyg? Basically lowest they’ve been valued.

They were +3.5 at Washington a few months ago for comparison sake

Tough game (Giants/Vikings).

Don't trust either team, both regressed a bit second half of the year. Very low on Minnesota, but hard to see a roster like Giants winning a road playoff game.

Thoughts on other games?
