    No apology necessary, Agenda. Happens to everyone, trust me.

    Thought your Niner injury info was perfectly timed. +3 ticket when game goes off at PK. Can't beat that.

    i hate to say it too but i like the bucs +1.5. big difference for the bucs being 4-4 than losing and going to 3-5. they settle in and win this game. i am not impressed with the ravens and how they didn't cover yesterday.

    Ten Titans -1.5

    They should be favored by 6
    The line is way off on this one

    Ya, the coaches hate these Thur games. Honestly, Thurs games should be banned. Bad TV, and injury risk.

    In next collective bargaining agreement, scratch out Thurs games. Make compromise that every team has to play one foreign game in Eng/Germany every OTHER year. That's your extra time-slot, not Thurs (except for Thx-giving).

    I've gone thru a few iterations of this. But these are basic ground-rules of the weekly thread:



    I'd lay out the parameters as such:
    1) Try to limit to one pick per week (although > one is ok).
    2) Totals are fair game.
    3) Quote a current price.
    4) List a reason WHY you are Fading a team...and why you LIKE the team you're backing.
    5) Goal of the thread is to identify sides which the public likes. If the public is too high on said side, then contrarian side should have line value.

    That's how I'd describe it. In addition to fading a certain team, the side we're backing often feels like it's a tough bet to make.

    Wow, fav flips on Balt/Tampa game. Not sure I saw that coming.

    Other notes:
    *DEN: Looks like Wilson will play in the London game.
    *MIA: I still question whether the HC pulled back the reins on Tua, based on prevention of further injury.
    *New Orl: Dalton to start over HEALTHY Winston. Wow, after two pick-6's, how bad does Jameis look in practice?
    *New Eng: Jones named starter for Jet game.
    *Indy: How liquored up was Irsay to call for Sam to start? Funny thing is that the TIE might have been enough to get them into the playoffs. Division record won't be a tie-breaker unless there's another Tie in the division.

    I locked in Denver +2, Detroit +3 1/2, LA Rams +1

    Sorry I know that's more than 1 per person. I'm on them all equally.

    Red, he's in a walking-boot. Will have to hear practice updates.

    Tough-guy on a hard-nosed team. I'd have a hard time seeing him Active. I think "Willis" has been priced into the current line.

    They keep winning and covering, finding a way even when they get out played! I think they will be the best team on the field and getting the 3

    Nice link for NFL practice information:

    https://www.rotowire.com/football/pr...t.php?team=TEN

    Says that Tannehill DNP (Did Not Practice/Participate??) in last practice. Ten/Hou line at -2.5, which is interesting.

    You're either getting:
    1) a banged-up Tannehill (age 34), or
    2) 1st-time starter rookie from Liberty (Willis).

    I cashed out the -120 on ravens and added the +115 for this game. I know the bucs might be able to run on Balt. but so many injuries on the O line. I still see a Ravens win
