Looking for some thoughts.

I am on Detroit +14' ona very very large play for me. I had anticipated SD would win then the line would dip to 7-8-9 and I would bet the entire amount back for the hopes of a nice middle with the risk of loss only the juice which is equal to a regular. Well, SD shits the bed and the line comes back on the board at my outlet at 16'. Not a good thing.

Option #1: I am inclined to maybe just let it ride as I still do not think the Steelers (my hometown and favorite Steelers who I rarely wager on or against) will cover two touchdowns, HOWEVER, this is the Lions we are talking about.

Option #2: I am considering a two team 7 point tease at the same amount of the big bet above teasing Pgh -9' and KC -2. Should the original bet win the tease losses and I lose double juice on the tease no biggie when compared to leting the original bet ride and lose. That said, I could lose the original bet win the Steeler part of the tease and lose the KC part of the tease for a double loser. Although, I feel better letting the big apples come down to Kc covering the short 2 at home against backup Bengals as opposed to hoping the Steelers don't crush the Lions. In addition to a double loss, this does provide the chance for a double witn should the Steelers cover from +10 to +14 and KC cover.

Other Options/Thoughts are welcome. This is really not major major sell the house dollars folks but the sum at stake is somewhat higher than I usually like to be exposed.

Thanx in advance for the thoughts and Happy New Year.

I say let it ride. Dont really have stats to back it up - but I always go with my FIRST instinct.

Whatever you do - good luck and Happy New Year!

Option 2 if i had to choose between those 2

Detroit has about as much chance as a stray Dog In ChinaTown!
31-3 or 31-10 pitt
My tease would be NE +1 1/2
Wash - 1/2

let it ride.......pitt wins by no more than 13 and the Bengals win by 4.......all kind of fools are jumping on Pitt now.......probably the same ones who were sure Denver would lose to San Diego......like you......the extra couple of points aren't going to make that much difference in the Pitt/Det game and where does that leave you if the Bengals win?.........Bengals should win this by 4........Kitna is good enough for me and that's where I'm betting

Tough options, but I would let it ride.

You dont want to put yourself in a position to be happy with a push, and very easily lose both bets.

I like your reasoning for your original play... too bad it didnt work out...

I really apprecaite all your feedback, I am going to let it ride. In addition, it really is not a disasterous $$$ loss/position if the Steelers do crush them by more than 14' it will just be a deeper cut into the "Bowl-Bankroll" than I would have like to see.
