Thus, ON THE ROAD, facing teams similar in strength to Lions (ie, now with 6 or fewer losses) the Broncos struggle mightily....We remember the -50 pt stunner at Miami (9 - 4)....then the -11 pt LOSS at Chiefs (8 - 5)..... then the *VERY* LUCKY 2-pt win at mediocre Buffalo (7 - 6) ....followed by their recent -5 pt LOSS at mediocre Houston.... the win over the pathetic, Herbert-less Chargers is not something to crow about, nor use in stats about how great their alleged defense is!When ON THE ROAD, the Broncos have given up: 70, 28, 19, 22, 22, and just 7 agains those pathetic, Herbert-less Chargers and their backup QB Easton Stick. Nothing about all this impresses me. OTOH, I love setups like this one Saturday night: where a GOOD TEAM (9 - 3 Lions) wins on the road then rolls in to face a weak Bears team - a game they SHOULD ALSO WIN - but GET UPSET in a shocker! Talk about motivation for a rebound ON HOME TURF!! And against a team that wrongly thinks their really good now, coming off a 24 - 7 road win, while virtually ignoring all the LUCKY BREAKS that got them there in recent weeks.....It's retribution time for GOFF and the prideful LIONS and Broncos will be absent arguably their best LB (Bonitto) and possibly their best safety (Locke)...their other excellent LB (Cooper) while likely to suit up will play nursing an injury. Of course, anything can happen in football on any given day. Net turnovers, other lucky breaks, key injuries, etc.But all else being equal, the LIONS have a decided edge here and should prevail easily (unless Broncos luck returns in a big way) LIONS -220 *BB 5u your 2 part writeup is looking good early ! @KellyM_1964 Thanks. Put some effort into that one for sure. Lot of typing and I am a slow typist 1stQ LIVE BET after NE miss FGA: CHIEFS -1.5 -400 *BB 2u Oh-Oh now the 8 - 5 Chiefs are in deep trouble late 2Q! INT and possibly lose another OL....But they wriggle out of a TD and only give up a freebie FG....10 - 7 NE on their homefield.....LIVE BET late 2Q: KC -435 *BB 3u PACKERS SCORE!! And whatta catch! Need the Pack to come from behind to steal a win at home! Play is EVEN...Mid 4thQ LIVE BET: Tampa -2.5 -425 *5u It's not a one off for Browns........just a letdown spot I missed! I wanna get some buy back but it's too late now as the lines on the Bears too high!! WTF?? Just under 4 mins left....Browns get lucky score off a missed tackle to tie the game!
