    Teams make adjustments. These are professional athletes who have pride. To expect a team to play the exact same from week number one until week number 17 is silly.

    My advice to you, be a contrarian and start backing teams that you think have ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE of winning. That's where the money is hidden.
    It's really sad that this is actually true.I was on GB ML last night after seeing Buffalo & Seattle win.

    It makes no sense
    You needgo really-evaluate your choices. Never go from the past weeks, take it with a grain of salt. Obviously if a team is in motion and playing well, it will carry over buy matchu ups between teams matter much more.

Or how about last week? Lots of people got suckered into taking the Browns and Bills... that turned out real well.
    I'm not advocating that you blindly pick shitty teams, but what I am saying is that it's okay to take the Jets at home versus the Texans on a MNF game or a Packers team coming off an embarrassing loss. As I stated, that's where the money is hidden. Key word being hidden.

    The Giants were a great example against the 49ers this week. I had a lot of faith that the Giants could run with the 49ers and it paid off for me. They went off @ +270 before the game, and I bought more when they were down 3-0. A lot of people said the G-Men could not hang with the 49ers and I went the other way. I'm advocating sifting through the so called shit pile to find a few lumps of coal that may turn into diamonds...lol

    Dogs in the right spot on the ML, love those. Last night was on Bills ML, GB Ml and Giants ML

    On the other hand -2.5 point favorites have been my bane...

    a lot of squares underestimate the value and edge afforded by teams in "must win" scenarios
