    Why Do Some NFL Spreads Look Ridiculously Stupid? 09/01/11

    Detroit -1.5 VS Buffalo

    Um... I think I'll take Detroit on this one. Detroit has scored 30+ points in every preseason game so far.


    Kansas City VS Green Bay -2.5

    I think Green Bay is a good choice... they looked awful in Indy... I don't think Rodgers is going to play with himself this time...


    Tampa Bay VS Washington -7

    Why is this spread so high??? Give me Washington -7 just because the spread is so High.


    N.Y. Giants VS New England -8

    Again... why is the spread so high??? Give me New England -8


    I haven't placed any wagers yet on these games... just wondering if people are seeing what I'm seeing. No I'm not drunk... I just don't understand these spreads???? Care to comment???

    Because starters are going to play 1 series if they even play at all. It's the battle of 2nd and 3rd stringers.

    Buffalo is a top play on the board.

    Mind you, it's better to just skip it all together.

    Starters are only going to play 1 series??? I can promise you Brady and Rodgers will play a lot more than one series.

    I agree totally. All 4 of these games stick out like a sore thumb. I just want to hammer all 4.

    Last preseason game of the year is notorious for starters not playing or playing very little. Be very careful. The lines are what they are for a reason. The Panthros -3 against the Steelers......perfect example.

    I normally say never bet on Panthers and never bet on pre-season. But tonight hammer the Panthers! I "almost"
    guarantee you they win tonight. They wull play several starters all 4 quarters they know they have a TON to work on and can't afford to rest starters they are a long way away from being ready for the season and coaching staff knows it. Expect the steelers to treat this like a practice and Panthers will play with something to prove to themselves.

    No. Week 4 preseason starters play 1 series or dont play at all. Hence carolina being a favorite against steelers.

    I really like Washington -7.....Shanahan is notorious for trying to win preseason games and Tampa doesn't give a shit.

    Take the M'f'n Chiefs. Why? Because that line is retarded and it's better to get on board with the casino. Everyone and their brother will jump on the packers at PK at home against the chiefs. I just don't see how it could be that easy. Watch the packers win by 100 and make me look stupid lol

    Kansas City's defense looked disgusting against the Rams (mostly ground game).
    I see the Packers taking this one with ease.

    Buf
    Indy
    KC
    Jax
    Carolina
    Minny
    Titans
    Arizona
    SF

    A few of those should win.

    Yep, only one. Look for them to go no-huddle and go right down the field and score. On them -1/2 +135 for the 1st Q.

    Bet against teams with the worst 2nd strings and 3rd strings.

    It's not about me. That's why I win.

    My results speak for themselves, my man.

    No one ever did anything on this board like I did last year.

    That's not touting, it's reality --- and I'm not saying that I'll duplicate such a run. But of course, I'm going to try.

    3rd stringers vs 3rd stringers for most of game, lines came out to be fairly accurate.
