not my write up, but thought it was funny/insightful
Watching the Lions can be like watching a drunk chase a balloon on a cliff. However, if you’re willing to endure the turning and twisting that accompanies such endeavors, this could be as good a spot as any.
The Seahawks are overvalued here. They rank highly because of wins over Green Bay and New England. We all know how the Green Bay game ended and Seattle was completely outplayed by the Patriots. Those victories were in Seattle. In four road games this year, the Seachickens have amassed a grand total of 51 points with only win occurring at struggling Carolina. Detroit gave away game to Bears but defense is improving while offence is already capable. Perceptions and current records create an inaccurate short price here.Watching the Lions can be like watching a drunk chase a balloon on a cliff. However, if you’re willing to endure the turning and twisting that accompanies such endeavors, this could be as good a spot as any.

The LVH’s NFL Supercontest Week 8 deadline expired Saturday afternoon, and shortly after, the Superbook released the consensus picks for the 14 games on the schedule. The consensus is 17-17-1 through the first seven weeks. Last week’s most popular picks—Bengals, Redskins, Cowboys, Browns and Rams—finished 2-3 ATS. The most commonly selected teams in Week 8? The Eagles, who were taken 303 times. Only 18 out of a record 745 participants chose the Vikings, who failed to cover as 6.5-point favorites against the Buccaneers Thursday night. Other popular picks: Giants (295), Redskins (220), Dolphins (216) and Chargers (206). Below is a full listing of the consensus picks. Be sure to check out Football Contest Proxy and@VegasMatty, who provides excellent coverage throughout the event. Ditto on Dave Tuley, who operates View From Vegas and writes a weekly ESPN Insider column. * * * Minnesota -6.5 — 18 Tampa Bay +6.5 — 107 New England -7 — 109 St. Louis +7 — 68 Tennessee -3.5 — 79 Indianapolis +3.5 — 129 Green Bay -14 — 148 Jacksonville +14 — 32 San Diego -2.5 — 206 Cleveland +2.5 — 83 Philadelphia -2.5 — 303 Atlanta +2.5 — 123 Detroit -2 — 158 Seattle +2 — 148 NY Jets -2 — 131 Miami +2 — 216 Chicago -7.5 — 73 Carolina +7.5 — 144 Pittsburgh -4.5 — 81 Washington +4.5 — 220 Kansas City -2 — 94 Oakland +2 — 103 NY Giants -2.5 — 295 Dallas +2.5 — 100 Denver -6 — 132 New Orleans +6 — 172 San Francisco -6.5 — 95 Arizona +6.5 — 133
