Interesting that you like the under in the Bills game. I actually like the over. So you will 100% win that bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAGLES3658 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I know 55 is a lot but Tennessee's defense can't stop a nose bleed and I also see their offense being about to do some damage. 55 would make me nervous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no Devin White (Barrett is back), and the WFT secondary, I think rather than trying to figure out the spread, O45 is the way to go for sure. WFT's D is fierce in its front 7 - but you can beat that secondary - and if there's a type of run that works, it's the power run game. TAM's O, with their WR's & Ronald Jones back, fits both. It's a little more concerning knowing Evans is really dinged up (he's likely a decoy IMO if he plays), but that's where having AB to pair up with Godwin (and Scotty Miller as a vertical threat) helps. On the flip side, with no Devin White, the run D is mortal, and their TE / middle of field coverage suffers, although they're still a very good D - just not a great D. WFT's emergence is a great story, and I love their front 7, and TAM has been a terrible favorite before December - 8.5 is a lot of points. But they match up so well with WFT's D's weaknesses. Still, 8.5 points is 8.5 points - so I think O45 is a much easier line to exploit. TAM overcomes the WFT pass rush, then they put 31+. WFT putting up 14-17 seems very reasonable to project as a floor. If TAM puts up 31, and are up 31-17 by early 4Q, then you're done, and you don't need to worry about the ugly backdoor, which is always alive when you're protecting a 7+ pt margin (unlike when it's below 7, or better yet, below 3, just far fewer paths where trailing team gets there).

Rainmaker90 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 So far I have a big teaser on Buff and Pitt to just win the game. I also think I will be against the public and take Baltimore. All this Lamar can't do it in the playoffs is crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Reed Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) I'm taking both Colts (+245) and Titans (+160) MLs because I expect one of those to hit but I can't figure out exactly which one. Might tease the Bears and Skins up to 16.5 and 14.5 Edited January 8, 2021 by Ray Reed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans_Matt Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Does anyone know where I could possibly get odds on which NFL HOF Finalists actually make it to the HOF? I am trying to get my bookie to add futures for it, but he asked me to provide him with odds first, and I haven't been able to find them anywhere.

pacman5252 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Over Unders I like: Washington +8.5 - They have a real defense, will be at home, 35 degrees, with wind. This is going to be a low scoring game so 8.5 is way too much (also like the U45.5. The way to beat Brady has always been with a good front 4. This team is very similar to the healthy Bears early in the season that beat TB. SEA-3- Backup QB vs a good team on the road? I like LARs D but this isn't right. Other than that, I'm not really high on anything. If I had to do a pick 5- Chi +10- That is just a lot of points to give a decent team. Seems like a little over reaction from last week. Pitt-6 - This is just classic Cleveland collapse time/Pitt pick up (and Cleveland hasn't really played well against good teams). I wish I could have gotten the opening number. Buff -6 -I do like Indy's D, but I don't see it them matching up well. Ravens/Tenn I have no feeling on. I guess I'd say Tenn moneyline and get the +160.

Buff -6 -I do like Indy's D, but I don't see it them matching up well. Ravens/Tenn I have no feeling on. I guess I'd say Tenn moneyline and get the +160. When Alex Smith was the QB, I could totally see the WFT angle - but not with Heinecke as the QB. 3 main reasons: -Cold weather doesn't bother Brady, and because it's a 8 PM game - the wind will have died down. Forecasts are calling for 8-9 MPH. It's a total nonfactor. -TAM has the 2 components that can beat the WFT D - WR's to exploit their CB's, and the power run game. Finesse/speed run games have no shot against the WFT front 4 - but power is the one way you can get to them. The WFT CB's don't press well enough (they play zone), which allows Brady to get rid of the ball before inside pressure gets home. If you can get inside pressure AND cover the quick hitters, that's how you beat him (and why NO is such a bad, bad matchup for him). WFT's secondary can't do the 2nd part of that equation. -Finally, Heinecke raises the TO potential for TAM's D. Smith is so safe with the football, that was a major component to taking the points with WFT. I have nothing but respect for WFT's D, especially that front 7 - but the weather isn't a factor, and Heinecke is a major problem to try and shorten the game to keep it close. On that note - I'm changing my TO/WFT O45 to TAM -8 in my picks.....and sadly, I have to pull Sims O38.5, too. I am still on McKissic receiving yards. If anything, game script favors even more catches for him. TL:DR picks and props: BUF -6.5 TAM -8 LAR +3.5 (Akers being healthy, the line moving past 3, I'll take the points) CHI +10 TEN/BAL O55 PIT -6 Saturday: Taylor over 75.5 rushing Ronald Jones over 58.5 rushing Antonio Brown over 58.5 receiving Chris Godwin over 61.5 receiving Higbee over 29.5 receiving McKissic over 36.5 receiving (Sims removed) Sunday: Diontae Johnson over 6.5 recs Diontae Johnson over 62.5 receiving Montgomery over 60.5 rushing Marquise Brown over 49.5 receiving Edited January 9, 2021 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
