NFL week 14- Contrarian Angles

I'd lay out the parameters as such:
1) Limit of one pick per week for a given poster.
2) Totals are fair game.
3) Quote a current price (vs -110 line or better). Can't just say "Team A".
4) List a reason WHY you are Fading a team...and why you LIKE the team you're backing. Have to state why you think the play is counter-intuitive and therefore likely to represent value.
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.

L.A. ramrods +6

[jackpot269]

jets +9.5

Fading the Bills they are in 2nd place in the AFC but not playing up to expectations

Jets have been one of the biggest surprises this year. Maybe the biggest for me! Thats a lot of points to give a team that has been playing good, they should have beat Minny last week.

Cant say enough about how well the back up QB has been playing.

The defense is playing good with Q. Williams becoming one of the best young D-lineman in the NFL I think he has 9.5 sacks this year

Looking at the line right now on Bet-on-line +9,5..-110

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Thanks, Jack. You sure it's not Jets +9.5?

[agendaman]

baltimore plus 2.5 at -110.ravens just cannot afford to lose this game with playoffs looming.hundley ca run ok harbaugh a fine coach plus mark andrews.p.s i play mostly at bet-on-line and currently jets are plus 9.5.

[jackpot269]

Thanks, Jack. You sure it's not Jets +9.5?

It is I'm crazy!! I need a long break! I'm on 5 week losing streak that's going to drive me crazier! So many games looked good until the last play or at least late 4th quarter. I'm not the only one I know but seems like lady luck has left town!

Thought that's what you meant. I hear you, these games are very tough.

Can't take it too seriously. Good luck on the Jets, Jack. Take it ez.

Good Luck, guys, and Thx for posting. Edawg has an excellent YTD record in this thread. Go, Rams.

[pologq]

chargers +3 and +3.5 depending on what you can get for -120 or +105

i think their offense will keep this competitive at home against a dolphins team that came down to earth last week against an awesome 49ers defense

[TheLock]

Lions -2.5

Vikings 10-2 and Lions are favored. C’mon

Agenda, good luck on the Ravens. I like your play:

1) Granted, the contrarian angle = the backup QB. Catching the Ravens as Dog b/c of the QB situation.

2) I mentioned the acquisition of LB Roquan Smith. Roquan has played four games w/ Balt.
...Since Roquan left CHI, Bear defense looks barren. No Bear wins, little resistance.
...Some BALT stats since Roquan arrived:
*Avg Net First Downs = +7.5
*DEF First Downs allowed (per game) = 14.0
*DEF yards per game allowed = 263.0
*DEF Rush yards allowed per game = 52.0

3) With the short line, I'll be watching how much impact Tucker has on this game. Has to help having the best kicker in the game. Tucker's stat are pretty ridiculous:
*He's around 98% on FG up to 40 yards.
*He's about 90% on FG 40 to 49 yards.
*You really have extend him beyond 50 to see any FG misses.

I think your pts can play b/c of the Raven DEF and Tucker. The Ravens are only a few late drives from having a very good record. Good Luck.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Good one, dawg. Great comeback win.

[Nate rasta]

Give me the Tennessee Titans -3.5

Is it going to be a easy slam dunk win
They win by double digits

Will do, Nate. Thx and Good Luck.

Stat I read re: Jax. 1-19 SU L20 road games.

[agendaman]

nice gutsy call on the rams edawg.i should have live bet them.

[Nate rasta]

My pic isn't really contrarian that much you can cancel it and I'll do another one if you like

[OldBill]

im leaning on big dog +17.5 Texans at Dallas nmfw they go all in dallas after waxing the colts as an 11 point fav and they didnt do it until the 4th quarter

Nate, you're good. Your track record speaks for itself. Good Luck on the Titans.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Hey, boys. I decoded it.

[jackpot269]

Good job Chucky

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Trying, Jack. I might actually not have a pick for week 14.

Following your note re: Discretion. Lines are so tight this week. I waited too long on a couple games.

Good one, Jack. Jets DEF had another good showing.

Yes, I mentioned the Titans in other thread. They appeared to have control of the division. Jags put themselves in position to flip one game in next three weeks and then play for Division Home vs TENN in wk 18.

Great job on the picks, guys. 5-1 ATS.

[Nate rasta]

Great week guys. Seems like turnovers made the Tennessee game spiral out of control. they're definitely trending in the wrong direction. They're usually very solid at home against mediocre teams

That's why they play the games. You think you've seen it all. Then you see something new.
