I parlayed Jets + under because that is clearly correlated. If the Jets cover it will go under for sure.

Thanks for the writeup.

Interesting.

10 was the number I needed (I actually have 10.5 but posted 10 because most books have it at 10) so I posted everything I found. It's pretty compelling for a jets side. 

Believe me, you can ask anyone here: I have made a lot more money fading the jets on this site than taking them.

So to post them here is a big move to the other side of my comfort zone.

Thanks for explaining. Good luck Scal! Great write up, you can prb make money doing write ups for Vegas.

I'm on Denver - 9.5

Hopefully we both hit and Denver wins 30-20

I know some guys here got -7 and that is fine but remember this, this might be the most teased game of the year (to .5 on Denver) and those teasers sometimes result in outright losses. I find it very bizarre the books would leave themselves open to all the teasers coming in, in addition to the huge side on Denver and the ML of course.

Mostly subjective conjecture, but has numbers where it needs to lend credence to the notion. I remain on the other side of the spread, despite enjoying the commentary as it seems contingent that all systems go for NYJ. Could be the case, with prerequisite hope. BOL with your picks and great work, scalabrine

You'll almost never have an easy time backing the Jets. But they came out guns a blazin in GB and covered there. As far as the other games, not so much...

I know Vegas always win but sometime the public bets have the right to win sometimes.
Thanks!

2 units or thereabouts but I have a bunch of Jets in teasers too. About a 3 star play.

And the one time you laid off at -5.5 in the supercontest with the Raiders over the Jets in week 1, you would have covered!

Sorry I don't have time to answer the rest as it's kickoff.

Thanks for all the support!

Let's collect on this. It's a gut-wrenching spot but the Jets can pull it out.

Wow. What a start.

 

Lose a starting CB and then fumble the ball!
