My favorite play to make every year, as it is a 17-week roller-coaster ride, promising mucho bang for the buck.
Downside: Cash tied up for months.
Upside: Several meaningful games every week, and interesting hedge situations.
Played these a month ago, and have seen lines move alot, mostly in my favor.
Minnesota Vikings Over 8.5 wins -105 (*****)
,,,have seen this one up to 9, and all the 8.5's are at -160 or higher, so I got a deal, if it works out
Chicago Bears Under 7.5 wins EVEN ( ***)
...Seeing some 8's here, but no QB, no WR, no RB. The defense and special teams will have to score a lot to get to 8 wins and beat me.
San Diego Chargers Over 11 Wins -110 (*****)
...Take away the stumble out of the gate from last year and they get there easily. I look for at least 12-4 from the '08 Bolts.
Other interesting ones:
Not played:
NYJ... I have seen everything from 7 to 8.5! That is a wide gap. Shop around, whichever way you go.
Atl Under 5.......How can they win 6? Can't see that happening
Ari Over 8...Like the job Whisenhunt is doing, but QB questions and the fact they ARE the Bidwell Cardinals, and have a history of sub .500 seasons make this one to pass on
Cinn Under 7.5...... I see a drop here, but they do have a load of talent, so 8-8 is certainly possible, though IMO not very likely. PASS
Pitt Over 9...... Healthy Willie Parker is the key here, and I see 10 or more wins, but not confident enough to play it
Buff Over 7.5..... With Pats in the division, these guys are ready to move up, but is 8 wins in reach. I think so but I'll wait
Dallas Over 10.5..... Everyone predicting great things for '08 Pokes, but that is what scares me.
Wash Under 7.5....Can Jim Zorn make this team a force in one offseason? I would be very surprised if the defense alone can generate a .500 season
