I'm sitting at 17-14 for those who like to know that sort of thing...really just wanted to share my thoughts and bounce them off others...I'm pretty well a dog bettor or pass type in the NFL.
Miami +7...placed all my best on Tuesday, and I use BOL for my lines.
This line has skyrocketed from the opener of 4.5, which I’m assuming is from the money on New England. Miami doesn’t win the TO battle in many games, and has a lackluster offense. The Pats got Gronk back last week, which is a much needed boost to their depleted receiving core. Miami has played tough, even in their losses, and the Pats have only blown out one team (Tampa) all season. 7 points is a lot for teams that play close games.
Jacksonville +16
It’s the same old story every week. Jacksonville is really bad, and are they going to even be competitive? Vegas will have to keep giving them more and more points because they can’t cover anything. San Fran has been playing really well, and the travel really shouldn’t affect them. It’s a lot of points though, and if Jacksonville can even score JUST 14, they have a good chance to cover. I’ll risk it this week.
Oakland +1.5
I’m slightly confused as to the love of the Steelers here. Long travel, and a team that has underperformed all season. Are people that excited over narrow wins against the Jets and Ravens? Pryor had his first really bad game last week, but that is going to happen as a first year starter. Not to mention, KC has one of the toughest defenses in the league. He’s had a bye week to work on it and study the film, and he's done well against his lesser opponents. These teams are very similar, so I’ll take the point(s) and the home team.
