Do you think this card is profitable today?

Don't really like these plays because I feel that this time of year, a lot of the favorites cover. Earlier in the year, the dogs were winning. Carolina has no QB. Rams suck on the road. Bengal just suck. I dunno about this card.

i would be shocked if you didn't hit 3 of 5, looks good to me

I personally like the Houston side, but even that is questionable on the road. It's funny, because if I didnt see your picks and was handed those games, I would (more than likely) be on the other side of each.
In a five-team 6 point teaser, that looks really nice.
NE just got romped in Cleveland, by a lot more than 5, run all over by Hillis. Now they get Mendenhall and a better D.
Houston is one of the worst defensive teams in the league and Andre Johnson is questionable today with that ankle that has been lingering for what feels like ages now.
Carolina +7? meh. maybe. definitely +13.
The Bungles are one of the worst teams in the league, travel to Indy, where Peyton will try to erase the loss last week. +13, yup. +7, not sure.
Rams cover on the West Coast?
Best of luck to you, tho.

I have total opposite feeling as yours. Beginning of the season, lines are soft, players are healthy, weather is nice............favorite (or stronger teams on paper) often cover the spread.
Getting late in season, book understand public perception on a certain team better (kind of doesn't matter how much you give to Rams, people will fade them anyway), players injuries, weather getting colder.............I feel final scores are much more closer......thus more advantage when take dogs.
Beside, every year when close to playoff public lose ton of money on backing a team playing for wildcard (a must win game so they can get into wildcard spot, etc), and fading the team has nothing to play for.
Wish you the best of luck today anyway.

Thanks bro. You are right about the end of the season but from my experience, the middle of the season is where the contenders and pretenders separate themselves. Last week was a perfect example. How many dogs won?
