    Thanksgiving Day Lines

    Falcons -3
    Lions 40.5

    Dallas -2
    Denver 42

    Early thoughts?

    Put money down if you can find Broncos +2. I see the line moving to at least PK if not giving Dallas points.

    I'm surprised the Falcons aren't favored by more. I would have guessed a -6.5 line.

    Vick hasn't looked "superhuman" lately. Maybe defenses are figuring him out and scheming against him.

    This time of the year, a team is only as good as it's starting QB. Betting on football almost boils down to betting on the QB. So, the Detroit-Atlanta game boils down to Harrington v.s. Vick. Excuse me while a puke into a bucket a couple of times before I make my pick: Harrington.

    i hate to argue. but that is not always true about a
    team is only as good as there QB remember the Ravens
    with trent dilfer? they won the super bowl. redskins did
    good with mark rypien? but i agree about vick he is overrated
    he's a very good player but not great. he's dangerous and
    vulnerable.

    Good point, imgv. This is why I took it up the azz this weekend betting Carolina v.s. Chicago. Chicago's D can trump anything right now, it seems. It'll be interesting to see how far they can go! Thinking about putting some money down on a Bear's Super Bowl Futures line.

    I thought the Broncos would be favorite. I understand the Cowboys are at home and battling for 1st place but I think Denver is a much better team.

    agree denver should beat dallas soundly but dallas on turkey
    day there sentiment there? how bout San diego only -3
    looks too good to be true. I love san diego but am afraid
    of the low spread. i would of made the spread -5.5

    Bears to win NFC might be a good bet. Personally, I don't bet that kind of thing unless the odds are well off in my opinion.

    Well let's see,

    Denver has 2nd best running offense in NFL?
    Denver has 2nd best running defense in NFL?
    Denver has two running backs in the top 18
    in total yards? anderson(12) bell(18)
    Denver's Record is 8-2?
    Denver is 6-0 at Home?
    Denver's won they last 3 games by a
    combined score of 107-38????

    Everyone this is the difference between fact
    and opinion? Saying denver is not a very good
    team is just a silly persons opinion!!

    imgv94, i can see where razz is comming from here. what has denver really done with this core group of guys in the past few years. personaly, i agree with razz on this one, because i truely feel there doing it with smoke and mirrors. come playoff time you will see the same ole sorry ass broncos once again, you just watch.

    The question was were they a really good team? not if there going
    to win the super bowl. if they go to the playoffs and lose in the first round
    it doesnt mean there not a great team. unless they get blown out
    like they have the last 2 years!! denver is a great team. so is
    indy,pitts,san diego also!! thanks for reading.

    Seems like enough people agree with you imgv, the line has moved from Dallas -1 1/2 when I went to bed last night, to Denver -1 1/2 right now. That's a 3 point swing in less than 24 hours. I missed my chance to get my money on Denver, but if the line moves much more, I'm going to have to start getting on Dallas. Isn't this wacky?!
