    Lions to go winless -110?

    am i missing something here? i know it's never been done in NFL history, but looking at their schedule..

    Minnesota
    @ Indy
    New Orleans
    @ Green Bay

    i don't see a W there. i expected this line to be -150, or -160, but -110 seems to good to be true. am i missing something here?

    Yeah, I agree. Lions to go winless -110 looks solid to me.

    A lot depends what kind of lines you see in the games coming up.
    Minny -480 (greek)
    @Indy -750 (my guess)
    N.O. -400 (my guess)
    @GB -500 (my guess)

    If my odds are anywhere near close, it's much better value to take the -110 than to play the series sequentially. But if you think any of those odds might go lower, then consider playing them in sequence rather than paying the -110. But I think my numbers above are pretty good, barring some kind of crazy QB injury to any of those teams.

    Their easiest of the teams is this week, and I still think the Vikings will run all over them. Winning by 10+.

    grrr 5dimes must've read this thread. it just shot up to -135 before i could snag it.

    think i'll hold off on it for now at the extra juice.

    I think it still has good value at -135, albeit -110 is much nicer! You just have to be more confident in those numbers I gave above because now there is less room for error as far as deciding whether to play those games individually in sequence. But I still like the bet at -135.

    If those are the actual numbers then it would be better to bet the sequence

    This is dangerous guys, NO is likely out of the playoffs so they wont be playing at 100% while the Lions dont want 0-16

    I think NO game is 50/50

    When the Lions beat the Viks this week then the 0-16 talk will be over.
