Just a little insight here everyone. Whether you like what I am saying or not it is food for thought when betting on the NFL.
Question to consider:
*What exactly are you betting on in any given game?*
When you evaluate and are trying to decide on who to take you have to first ask yourself what exactly are you betting on. Are you betting on a certain teams defense? Are you betting on a certain team's superstar? Or are you betting on some sort of home field advantage?
Let's use an example from this past weekend:
Redskins vs. Eagles
Redskins won this game on some last minute heroics by Kirk Cousins and Pierre Garcon. But is that really the story of this game? No. The real story of this game and the reason I took the Redskins was this.
Redskins defense has looked good this year plain and simple. They are the Kirk Cousin led offense...yea we get it, BUT what have the Eagles done this year to show me they are capable of putting up enough points against a good defense to win any game?!
Yes they beat the Jets but I took the Eagles to win that game because of the EAGLES defense, not their offense. This game had Redskins written all over it. Why would you bet on the Eagles offense to walk all over the Redskins defense when the Eagles have shown they can't do that?
Take my opinions here for what they are...opinions. But tonight is another perfect example. With the Lions vs the Seahawks, the bet for me is that the Lions' offense can not score and keep Stafford upright vs arguably the best defense in the NFL. What have the Lions shown us so far this year? They have shown us that their offense stinks. Combine that with the level of play Seattle's defense is playing at....
