Playing the spot, not just the team

But it's the Vikings, so I'm sure we will finish with a pointless and regrettable 7-10 record. At least we get the angry 49ers next week, so there's hope.Gonna buy out or stick with your DAL position?

Flew the team out a week in advance of the game so they’d be better prepared. Titans stayed back and will fly out Friday, just like the Bills did last week. Lots of bad blood between these teams but the Ravens are just better and coming off an ugly loss where they dominated the Steelers but could not close the deal, I expect them to win this game. The question is the cover. Titans are a public dog so although -4 seems high, it might not be high enough. Still, I’ll likely parlay the ML -200 with another game I like. Last we saw the Commanders, they were getting their butts kicked by the Bears on national tv. That was a bad spot for them having just lost in overtime a few days earlier to a division rival. Now they’ve had 10 days to lick their wounds, after losing to a team that had lost 14 straight, and I expect them to be ready and focused against a Falcons team that is in a bit of a letdown spot. After losing to the Jaguars in England, they fly home and win a tough, close contest against the Texans and the have a big division battle against Tampa next week. So it’s a look ahead spot for them. If the Commanders can’t take advantage of this opportunity, then they really stink. I’m hoping this line, which is at +2.5, gets to +3 before I buy. Speaking of the Bears. After collapsing against Denver at home in humiliating fashion and letting all their fans down, they went to Washington and shocked the Commanders, breaking a 14 game losing streak. Now that they got the monkey off their back and had a taste of victory, I expect them to do right by the fans and win one at home this week against the struggling Vikings. The Vikings just went toe to toe against the SB champs and have to play the red hot Niners next week on national TV. This is a bad spot for them against a division rival coming off 10 days rest that they should not overlook, but probably will. This line is also at 2.5+ and I’m hoping it gets to 3+ before I buy.   Last but not least we have the Dallas Cowboys, who were humiliated on national TV against a Niners team that completely outclassed them, going up against the LA Chargers coming off a bye. This game will be on Monday night so it’s another big national TV game and an opportunity for Dallas to win back some measure of respect against a dysfunctional Chargers team. I know that Chargers offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will be looking for revenge against his former team, and 9 out of 10 times is side with the revenge angle, as it is a powerful one, but HC of the Chargers is so bad, worse than fat McCarthy, and the scheduling spot Dallas is in, with a chance for a bit of redemption, that I have to side with the Cowboys. I expect this game to come down to turnovers and I’m betting Dallas wins in that category this week after losing in that category last week. Dallas -2.
