    I hate betting NFL road favorites BUT....

    If there was ever a time to consider them would it not be this week??

    Think about it , since the better team is on the road you dont have to
    lay so many points and by this time of year havent most of the fans of bad teams given up on their team???

    We all know Seattle and New Orleans can't lose at home. The Crowds are too rowdy to let that happen and the players feed off that energy...

    But c'mon Tampa Bay, Minnesota, St Louis, Cleveland...

    can somebody from these cities please chime and let us know if your fan base is even going to show up???

    i used to live in carolina and had season tickets to the Panthers and i can tell you when the Panthers are out of playoff contention you can basically have a conversation in a normal voice when the road team has a crucial 3rd down...

    basically nobody shows up when the team is out of playoff contention this time of year.


    are fans in minnesota , cleveland , tampa, and st louis so die hard that they still show up when its basically a meaningless game?

    if not then basically these are games on neutral fields bc crowd noise is the only thing that makes a team play better at home.

    CLE is a small dog, I can easily see TB and STL with the points hitting. There's a reason home dogs is where the value is.

    I disagree. There are a lot of Giants making plans for 2014 and beyond now. A serious letdown is assured, we already know what they look like when not focused.

    I'm a couple hours from Minneapolis and the fans around here have given up, especially with AP out.

    Cleveland will be full of bear fans. Bears fans always travel well around Midwest. Game is now a pk.

    That Bears game was a large swing too. Bears opened +2.5 now -1 at my book. Obviously because of Cutler but even as a fan him coming back isn't too reassuring.
