7.5 point tease:
Dallas -1
Colts +3.5
Tease them in whatever combo works for you. Cowboys are not the same old team. Now that Garrett's more of a figurehead/motivator, and has seemingly competent coordinators, the team is gelling. Confidence/belief/team chemistry is the highest it's been in some time. Always the chance Romo chokes it away, but I don't think he'll end up in that situation. Stafford's never proven himself to be some great winner. Not impressed with their coach, either.
Indy +3.5 Luck's a winner, mentally. Dalton's a choker, though I like him on a personal level. Marvin Lewis sucks, average at best, Pagano, solid. Those two key differences (coaching/QB) are why I feel very strongly about Indy. Plus, you're going to give me 3.5 just in case something fluky happens? I'll take it. Luck finds a way to win most of the time.
I'd add Pitt to this list if Bell wasn't injured. I'll wait to see how that plays out. If he can play and can perform at a high level I'd tease Pitt in some manner. It's hard to bet for/against Baltimore, as they are inconsistent. There are certain teams that are very difficult to "read" and for me, at least, Balty falls in that category. I'd never put a huge amount on Balty because half the time they are no-shows. Very few teams fall into the category that you can "trust" week in, week out - meaning, will the effort be there regardless of winning/losing. Those are the teams I tend to bet on because their predictability level is high. Cards/Panthers game is a good example. Who the hell has any idea or feels remotely confident of how that will turn out? You're going to bet your money on Cam? Good luck with that. He could play great or throw a giant turd out there. AZ QB? You're going to bet on that? Ok, good luck. I will say Arians is a great coach and their defense is solid, but beyond that I see nothing that I can get a good read on.
Anyway, those are my thoughts, for what they are worth. Good luck to all.:00hour
