Locked in:

Raiders +5.5

Utah St ML +115...no point to take the +2.5 here in my opinion.

If Colts +10.5 is available...i will jump on that.

Do you believe the Indy players have Reichs back after singlehandedly costing them a divisional game tie? Or do they support his confidence and play even harder for the guy?

In all my life, i have never seen a coach make such a blatantly wrong move as Reich did on that last drive in OT...no shame to tie and move onto next week...but to wind up losing that game has to stench up that locker room, right?

I simply could not disagree any more. Sure, move on with a 1-2-1 record and punt away your last chance to win the game. The only mistake he made was trying the hard count/draw them offsides BS before calling a TO and then going for it. Be decisive. After the 3rd down, run everybody up to the line of scrimmage and snap the ball. 

Pats now -11 

Locked in:

Colts +11...as the NFL is a week to week league, this line is completely an overreaction to last weeks games...NE looked like world beaters and so the books will inflate this line to compensate for the expected mass number of late public money coming in on the Pats...Colts are a bumbling stumbling rumbling mess led by noodle arm himself Mr. Luck...and in my opinion a total hack of a head coach from what I saw last week in Reich's complete brain cramp to not take the tie and move on...so the obvious play would be Pats right? well if the line was a truer number like -7.5 I would agree, but at +11, there's just too many random intangibles which can lead to more backdoor covers here, as well as front door covering shenanigans if the refs get involved early and often to help "keep" this game close enough thru 3Qs for ratings purposes.

who knows, maybe Colts even have the ball with 2 minutes left in a one possession game and we witness something very special

Aaron Jones will be a play on this week, right BigD?

Well, that early missed fg was the difference in the overall game...Luck looked good in defeat...his one bad int was from getting sack scared and just threw it without looking...he still hasnt figured out a sack is better than an reckless int...just imagine if Luck had a legit running game and a true tight end, he would be a winner for sure...doesnt help that he had so many gimme catches dropped...Pascal should be cut immediately if it was up to me...he catches the ball fundamentally wrong with his hands out...gives the db every opportunity to swipe the ball away or even worse strip it out for the turnover like yesterday...the guy is not an nfl caliber wr and last night cost all colts backers...moving on...btw...Brady and the Pats are back and look very dangerous with the emergence of Michel out of the backfield...looks like i was wrong about him, he looks like just the stud back Brady will be able to utilize in screen and dump offs too...the AFC looks winnable yet again by this team, plus Edelman and Gordon looked very good so this offense is only going to get better.

'Cuse -3.5

Missouri -2

ND -7

14-22-2 YTD 

I will pass on Utah St...seems like the line moved from +2.5 to +1...I would have likely been on ML +115 but now its -105...just not willing to force a play here, however it was one of the very few that stood out to me when looking over the opening lines earlier in the week...instate Mormon rivalry game on a Friday night...way too unpredictable to get involved with in my opinion at essentially a pick em now.

Vibranium picks to come...
