    NFL week 04- Contrarian Angles

    Going to try this as a weekly thread.

    Just looking for a few things:
    1) Explicitly state your play. "Fading A, backing B".
    2) Quote your live line, at approximate -110 odds.
    ...I say this for tracking purposes!

    *Give a reason to FADE the anti-team.
    *Give a reason why you think it may play out differently than most might think.

    Thanks!

    Results have been better than anyone could possibly expect in 1st 3 weeks:

    *I canceled out any plays where there was 1x on each side.

    wk01: 5-2 ATS
    wk02: 10-0 ATS
    wk03: 10-1 ATS. Admittedly, that included four guys nailing the Colts. So, not all independent selections.
    YTD: 25-3 ATS

    Will continue to try this. Thanks, and Good Luck.

    I’m liking the Raiders -2 this week vs. Denver

    You watched that Denver game last night. Enough said.

    Don't know if you want O/U but like the U48 in Cleve/Atl game teams combined are 6-0 over and feel number is a little bit inflated because of it. Also Cleveland is really a dink and dunk run the clock type team.

    Texans +6...I'm going to fade the Chargers until Herbert shows that he isn't severely compromised. Pro Bowl LT Slater is out for the season with a torn muscle more bad news.

    Sure, edawg, I'm flexible. Good Luck, hope you keep the winning streak going.

    edawg on Clev/Atl UND 48. Very nice logic, too.

    Jaguars +6.5 -110
    Bengals -3 -130


    The 6.5 is a tease to get all the squares on the world beater Eagles. I like this one the best out of the two.

    You have to lay a lot of juice on the slow starting Bengals outplaying the “soon-to-be-17-0 Dolphins”

    Lock, putting you down for Jax +6.5. For record-keeping, I don't want to stray from -110.

    Good Luck on the Jags. Hope you continue your hot streak.

    Playing: 274 Raiders -2. (Fading: Broncos).

    USC stole some of my thunder in post 6. For me, it has to be the Raiders this week.

    0-3 Fav, only winless team in the league. Broncos IMHO are a phony 2-1. Broncos' early schedule has been light, one of the weakest SOS in league YTD. They somehow lost to the Seahawks, and I think they're a tomato-can.

    Is the Denver HC a professor of mathematics? Sends out the kicker to make longest outdoor sea-level FG in league history. "Cmon, **."

    Only thing that worries me (a little) is that the Broncos might be the more physical team. Raiders have yet to score a rushing TD. But that's a league-wide trend.

    Looking for the Bronco SOS to show itself here. "The Autumn Wind is a pirate..."

    Like the Raiders as well in this spot. 0-3 and they are desperate and the Broncos are 2-1 but have a lot of issues.

    Salud, agenda, GL. Was reading some of the statline from the Buf/Mia game:

    *Hard to believe BUF lost. Mia D was on the field for 90 plays. Allen looks great, rush game took a while to get going.

    Jake's angle on Charger injuries is a good one. Slater out, and Herbert playing compromised.

    I'm turning over a new leaf this year re: Touts. If they say something valuable, I'll give them credit. Teddy Covers pointed out the multiple Charger injuries. He liked the early #. Anyone holding +6 or +6.5 has to feel good, b/c that ticket is going to have good BTCL value.

    Sorry guys I was on Pats last week killed our perfect week!
    My Raiders have been a huge disappointment, could have won all 3 but found a way to lose! I hope they don't continue that trend hopefully they want! I have a rule that I break every year at some point and multiple times some years
    No betting on the Raiders or BAMA they almost always lose or not cover if I do, it's the jacks jinx!
    Will check back with a pick later, I need to check on a few numbers first

    I don't follow injuries like I used to. Was listening to my guy Gridiron Blitz (a Lion fan):

    S Walker out
    RB Swift ??
