no, i just see.... not that i agree... if there was something to retort i would

those circumstances put me Cowboys which was the 1 in 6-1
I was just keeping it Raw. Either way someone was losing since they play each other and ATS. Though there was some 6 and 6.5 eagles earlier in week for push or win some bettors

End of day eagles are still playing to win and for 1 seed. No matter who QB. So I just counted em.

Point is, imo teams do care about 1 seed! And not going to blindly bet against any team who is in contention because they don’t cover etc per someone opinion

Next week you will hear teams don’t care etc. Well yeah, players and coaches care. They just don’t give up. Some are playing for contracts and coaching positions and of all else they play for pride. The Jets were what 0-14 and beat Rams of all ppl then followed up with week 18 win. Cost em the number 1 pick. So apparently these players coaches don’t care about tanking or giving up

My crystal ball sees a Pittsburgh win tonight with Bengals/Bills game tomorrow night a must win for Bills and a must win win the following week for Bengals so who wins or does it matter if Pitt wins tonight

this put a twist on

yes. there are only 17 games on a schedule. motivation is always a factor, cowboys point is the same as yours. I dont discount basic handicapping principles due to implications. Every week has implications. Your buddy has the fast start thread going. .. and when its all coming to an end some teams are afforded to play loose.

Nah 6-1 no matter the circumstances.

lions probably. Best OL in the game. Ground n pound may be the formula vs Niners. Goff holds the ship quite well. They can be really good vs the run or God Awful.

Seattle is a fraud imo.

Packers probably the most balanced D/O but they just seem lost. No business winning vs Miami last week. Tua gifted them a win. A rod is just not a playoff guy though

Yeah lil sarcasm in there! , it’s like my double press latte Starbucks play next week. I’ll pick a Favorite! At -3.5 or -7.5! Then buy down a point before i latte press it on the ML also! Always a favorite on a team with better record and at one of two lines 3 or 7. Never a dog. Nope never. Then it’s teaser time!

Cowboys and Packers probably in the Radar. Nice fits for 3-4 or 6-7 point faves. Buy me down to 2.5 and 6 then Latte triple press em

May go Chiefs ML -750 again
to me thats like putting 10 horses in a trifecta. if i cant handicap better than that i might as well find something else to do.

It’s a sarcastic joke towards another capper and his method each week. Not how I cap. Cheddar probably knows what I was referencing. Not knocking their method either, just find it funny how predictable the picks are going to be

Oh that one did get me. I was afraid you'd have to stay in the same suit. So the Packers at Miami? Oh and Seattle? A cash cow of mine. Dogs in front of the 12s today.

If packers and Seahawks are in reference to beating Niners. I just haven’t been a Seahawks buyer this year. Frauds vs record. Hell every team in NFC South beat em. Wins vs teams Cards Broncos Rams garbage. If they had a Run D I could support them. OL has been good and Geno having a solid year. Run game and all the receiving options get involved nicely.

If the defense picked up just little better end year I’d be more a supporter. Hard beat a team twice much less three times though. So sea chickens could be tuff out.

Packers win in Miami is bad imo. Brain dead Tua pick pick pick second half off a nice lead gifted the pack a golden opportunity. A win is a win. But all year the pack has just been off. The defense underperforming imo. But A rod just hasn’t set in consistently enough with WR core. Plus he is just not a playoff guy for years. Do believe if GB being a dog at SF is a good rally spot opportunity less pressure

Lions if not for their Run D stepping up past 8-10 weeks has no shot. They put a serious beat down on run game vs teams of late outside Carolina last week. Seems to be a lot of fire on the D. Not talented by any great means but they play hard n fast n aggressive. I’ve said best OL in league before season and stand by it. If they go in SF and play bullhorn smash mouth vs SF they can be a problem.

If Detroit goes into GB and beats them again in a big spot Detroit isn’t use to, I believe they are a live dog in SF.

Bengals -6 at home next week and Bills -7 at home next week makes tomorrow night a toss up. Weather in Cincy looks like a winner 57 and maybe some fog :eek:

Going to be interesting how much this game takes out of both sides heading into next week

Ravens disadvantage probably. Always takes a lot out vs Steelers.

Bengals two wins Chiefs lose raiders equals 1 seed

Bills get anemic patriots and their 4 fg a game offense

Might be time to jump on Bengals -6 for Week 18.

If Bengals win tomorrow, they probably will put up honest effort to secure 2 (or possible gain 1 seed) in Week 18 against a Ravens team that may not be super motivated (though I guess you could argue 5 seed a but advantageous over 6 seed this year)

If Bengals lose tomorrow, they probably come out scorching in Week 18 to win division and preserve the 3 seed. Possibly a rematch in Wild Card round

yeah you gotta be careful who you take seattle against. but nobody wants them and their numbers came up suprisingly high on my sheet. i was able to spot them sucessfully all year. Theyre young on that defense so i was hoping theyd improve but consistent run d numbers throughout. They definitely had a rough streak.

Price would have to be right to partake in any of the 3 at Frisco of course, but knee jerk says no to all on my end though i am looking to go against San Fran at some point likely before they'd get to see Philly if things play out. .

Alright Mr. thanks for the feedback. Enjoy.

This is gross but bears +1.5 seems wrong, I doubt Vikes try in week 18 on the hopes AZ can upset the 9ers when AZ is tanked. Jefferson isn’t close to 2k yards either.

obviously even nick mullens could shred the bears but I’d be surprised if Vikes don’t give themselves a bye week

Hey, at least Packers have little to no pressure on them
They been choking for years
It’s a better role for them without having to play at Lambeau and choke

Problem is Rodgers has sorta fallen off a cliff this year and their roster is pretty bad

Results yesterday fell into place other than Tampa winning and knocking Saints out.
Steelers ov 7 & 7 1/2 was huge. Now if they can pull another rabbit out of the hat, will be holding a 350/1 AFC and a 550/1 SB tickets. Holding Chargers and Bengals futures on AFC side. 49ers , Packers, and Lions on the other.
Wouldn't mind seeing Bengals lose tonight, cover the + 7 1/2 teaser, so I can hedge more on Ravens division next week.
Jags 6/1 division in play
Dolphins under 9 still on the board
Washington ov 7 1/2 is looking like a bad beat
NE under 8 1/2 is in a favorable position.
1 more win for Chargers ov 10. Could easily get the 5 seed and avoid the top 3 teams early. But very capable of taking out any team they play.
