Week 17: early grabs

Packers -2.5(-115) *1.00/.87

Panthers +7.5(-115) *1.00/.87

Saints -2.5(-115) *1.00/.87

Bears +2.5(even) *.50

Laying a little extra juice as these lines should move in the direction that I expect. I may buy out or try to middle throughout the week as injury news comes in. Especially in GB.

Full disclosure, that Bears bet is purely an early dart throw on possible 49ers injuries that may occur tonight on MNF. Not wishing it on any player, but who knows in this violent sport.

Good Luck 

"violent sport"

I expect Love to be back next start.  That hit didn’t look that bad.  The backup is capable of winning too.

Love is in concussion protocol, Willis has a shoulder injury 

If they can’t go, Clayton Tune will be starting QB

Research has been done on this matter my friend...

I need one of them, and we'll get one of them I'm confident. 

Another advantage is that the Ravens won't know who to prepare for. And both game plans and schemes are entirely different for these 2 qb's. LaFleur has done good things with either QB.

The Ravens d line is bottom 5 in generating pressure with or without blitzing. Actually worse than the Bears by a smidgen. 

It's a terrible spot otr for the Ravens having played 3 straight divisional games then the Patriots. 

Yea yea yea. Greg Maddux has missed starts because of blisters in the past

What about the following week after teams playing Denver..? No belief in the Colts? lol

+7 seems juicy

I have my eye on that game. I do lean Indy as of now. Have to watch me some Rivers tonight first. 

Would you believe it, the juice on Colts +7 went to -123 @ betonline. Even after that thrashing last night.

Sharp eye....

A shout out to 'The Professor' 

Good luck Sac.  

Gbay vs Ravens, back up QB vs back up QB. Gbay can lose this game & still make the playoffs. Ravens will be scrapping for a win in this game. Tough game to figure out imo.

Sounds like more pressure on the Ravens to win

Yeah but this time the Ravens are a dog. Was wondering if Lamar was starting, would the line flip.

Ravens will be deflated after blowing another 4th qt lead and primetime home loss. This team is mentally fragile now. Even with DK Metcalf being suspended 2 games and offering a glimmer of hope , I would be surprised if they can get up for a cold game in Lambeau. Ravens look defeated but skipping this one don't want my bet to be in agony too 

GL sac  

GL on your plays, Sac. 

Texans@Chargers U39.5(-110) *1.00/.91

When 2 of the worst O lines in the league meet, ugly offense will happen. 

Houston with the #2 ranked defense per dvoa, the Bolts with the #9 ranked defense. 

Since week 12, Texans #7 epa per play on defense, the Bolts #2. 

Offensively, both teams have been awful at running the ball in this span. We should see 1 dimensional football from both squads on Saturday afternoon. 

Both teams are 1 game behind in their respective divisions with the playoffs around the corner. Expect a playoff atmosphere here, where effort usually translates better on the defensive side of the ball.

Good Luck 

I'm looking at the Seahawks 1H, a hedge of sorts on Panthers +7.5. Tough lines right now on that first half. Seeing if any movement helps out.

Also looking to hedge out of Saints -2.5. I'm surprised that the line hasn't hit 3 yet, it's just sitting all week so far. Something feels square about being on the Saints this week. 

Bears +2.5 was a crap # and I knew it. For even juice for half a unit whatever. Seems like only George Kittle got hurt on MNF.

Kind of liking the over in that game. How are the Niners gonna stop anything the Bears do, and how are the Bears gonna stop anything that the Niners do? Hard to see either defense getting the upper hand in that game.
