The only question is by how much.

This is nonsense.   

By your argument, the line should be  BAL -9 against HOU ... no way...  I just don't see it.  My guess would be BAL - 5.5 or -6. 

No more than a TD

11.5 but recency bias would have it lower?

I say Baltimore -7.5 sounds about right

 Im gonna guess -9 or -9.5 to attract Houston $, any of those numbers or under it is an automatic Baltimore play for me

Week 1 HOU @ BAL closing line was 9.5. Espn power rankings (I know there are many different rankings out there, just using that as an example) going into week 1 had HOU ranked 31 and BAL 8. Their most recent rankings (headed into week 18) had HOU 11 and BAL 1. Just based off of that,it seems highly unlikely we would see the exact same spread as week 1 or higher. My gut says 6.5. But could absolutely see 7.5 opener with hooks getting gobbled and we settle at 7 by kickoff. This is all assuming Steelers don’t pull off an epic shocker??. Always good to see Van and his picks! On the other side w/ GB @ DAL today. Enjoy the games everyone!

They had several chances to get KC off the field on 3rd and long.....but let Kelce get catches and Mahomes run for 28 yards on another.....Phins still probably lose the game either way, but more like 17-14 if their D coulda manned up 2 or 3 times....

But they didn't. peace_5

 Agree.  7 points on the offensive side ain’t gonna cut it either though…

I bet the Dolphins because I thought they could run the ball.  But they really didnt even give it a go, and were too far behind to run late.

They were terrible.  The effort looked poor.  The bright spot was the defense.

 In reality besides the 2 play drive to Tyreek that got them the 7,Miami's offense didn't do shit.

I had Augsburg and Newcastle also.

Those were brutal.  At least the Dolphins didnt do that.

Agreed. I expected the weather to affect the passing game, but Miami's running game was atrocious. They looked timid from the get go. Not impressed by their play selection, or Tua. Mahomes looked like the old Mahomes before defenses began to adjust to his style. Field/weather conditions no doubt dictated that. I thought Mahomes was the clear difference in the game, coupled with the Dolphin's completely flat performance. The weather got in their heads.

Hey VZ, care to expand a bit on your Rams selection? Curious to see your thoughts. I think Detroit is being overlooked in this spot at home. Stafford and that offense have been rolling over the last 6-8 weeks, but still believe Detroit is the better club collectively. The Stafford/Goff trade coming full circle. Will be very interesting. Thanks man! 

Don’t let the last play affect the next play

 What I thought was odd was Maholmes running right by some defensive backs and they acted like they werent allowed to hit him. Almost like they had a matador cape. Really strange. Im thinking like why didn't they just drill the guy.

If I can somehow get the Texans +3.5 or more I’m all over it!
