In the Week 06 thread, Red Zone asked a good question about the intention of this continuing thread. Here was my best response:

Yes, RedZone. Good question.
I'll start the thread for Week07 later tonite. The boys have been hitting well. I'd lay out the parameters as such:
1) Try to limit to one pick per week (although > one is ok).
2) Totals are fair game.
3) Quote a current price.
4) List a reason WHY you are Fading a team...and why you LIKE the team you're backing.
5) Goal of the thread is to identify sides which the public likes. If the public is too high on said side, then contrarian side should have line value.
That's how I'd describe it. In addition to fading a certain team, the side we're backing often feels like it's a tough bet to make.
