Already too many people on the Vikings. Definitely going Steelers ML now.

Falcons plus the points should be a gem.

Everyone was on the Chiefs last week too. When people are on Dogs, usually it means the Oddsmakers made a mistake in their decision on who to make the fav. Trust me when your job is to make a line to induce betting on both sides, your perception on the pulse of the public can be off from time to time. Oddsmakers didn't realize how the public perceives the VIks, since Steelers are usually Publics darlings.

I'm waiting for some news to come out like Farve isn't playing or they've cloned Polamalu to use as all defensive players. But I jumped big on Vikes ML, Saints -6.5, and made my weekly fun bet of a 7 pt pleaser with Vikings -2.5 and Falcons -2.5 - bet 50 to win 350.

I'm waiting for the week to develop to make any more bets. It's supposed to rain in Miami, but I don't know if that'll stop Brees.

I like the Colts, but who doesn't. That line is a joke, no idea whats goin on there, but the bookies are giving away money this year in these exact types of games. Also like the Bears +2.5. They'll win this game in Cincy.

The only Double Digit fav that covered last week was the Packers. Books are getting their money back, it happens every year. Books make money, gamblers don't.

falcons and cowboys dont know who will win but it will deff go over 47

i have colts at -12.5 and no at -6.5....im tempted to just bet everything or do a pretty big parlay, but something seems wrong here

yea, Saints will struggle to cover that spread. Plus you bet a Double Digit spread on the road.

Dolphins run a ton, obviously giving you less time to cover the spread. Plus their defense is decent. I would wait to see the weather before making that bet.

Vikings ML, Falcons ML, Packers -7 look good right now

not sure why everyone is jumping all over the vikings, their defense is not playing good at all right now...ray rice ran all over them and flacco threw it wherever he wanted...pitt is coming off a huge passing game and thats definitely the vikings weakness on defense, the secondary... i would stay away, but if anything, pitt at home should cover

the games i like most right now to cover the spread is the colts and the falcons...dont know why the cowboys are a 4pt favorite the way they have played this season...probably due to them coming off a bye week but their secondary was so aweful b4 the bye week, i doubt they did enough to fix it..we saw what ryan did to the 9ers 2 weeks ago in the passing game .... i even like falcons ML

49ers +3, they might win straight up. this is just a lean though, not a booked play.
