So, your theory is that Aaron Rodgers did not break his collarbone? Who was paying him to pretend to be injured? The NFL? A large casino? A betting syndicate?

The Redskins special teams is awful. Patterson should be able to do some things against them. The defense is better but that doesn't mean they are good. They gave up over 400 yards to the Chargers, 41 to the Bears (with McCown playing the majority of the game) and 45 to the Broncos in the last three weeks. They are just no longer historically bad. Also, Griffin isn't the same player as last years. He is turning the ball over much more and his accuracy is noticeably worse.
The Vikings aren't very good, but neither are the Redskins. To think that they are the clear cut winner of this game is silly. Also, they are 1-3 on the road. They were beat down in the three losses and the game they won against Oakland had Matt Flynn as the starter. You know what happened after that game? The Raiders cut Matt Flynn. |

I have read people talking about how the Redskins D is playing better. That is true, but that doesn't mean they are playing well. Better means they are no longer historically bad. They gave up over 400 yards to the Chargers, 41 points to the Bears (Josh McCown played the majority of the game) and 45 to the Broncos in the last three games. They are 31st in points allowed (Vikings are 30th).
Their special team are atrocious. I fully expect Patterson to do big things against the Redskins. Griffin still isn't the player he was last year, and his accuracy (for some reason) is noticeably worse. Garcon really padded his yardage (about 50 extra yards) last game with two amazing catches. As to the guy above talking about coaching, to an extent, I agree. They have gotten away from the run when it the best thing any unit on the team does. But to act like coaching caused them to lose the 4th quarter 31 - 0 is silly. They were thoroughly dominated all around and coaching only exacerbated the difference in talent. |

The Redskins are very good and they are on the road, on a short week. Did I mention they weren't very good? They could easily lose.

The opening line makes skeptical of Akron. I agree that the Zips have have been playing tough lately, despite their record. You have a 2-7 team playing a 2-7 team and the home team can't even get a field goal to open, especially considering their recent play. It smells fishy. I would say Kent State or nothing. But I would heavily favor nothing.

Long and Quinn asserted themselves on the edge in that game. Generally speaking, line play (offensive and defensive) are the most consistent units, since it is mainly just giant guys smashing each other. And the Bengals have real advantage there. That being said the slim road favorite is always something to be worried about. And the Bengals just won by 40. They are the best team ever, haha. |

Also, the Dolphins apparently have a ton of team drama.

Everyone and the mother will take the Bengals at what they will perceive as a short line and another slaughter is in the makings. Best of luck but these are the games I have learned to just stay away. I agree with what you are saying. It's also tough to ignore the Bengals strongest unit going up against the Dolphins weakest unit. The Bengals D-line should really take it to the Dolphins below average O-line, who also lost their starting right tackle this week. Like you said though, this is a classic spot for the home team. |

It makes you wonder whether Doc Rivers is any good or whether it was Thibodeau and KG that really made the Boston defense click. Great point, man. I have had this discussion with my friend before and I agree that Rivers is way overrated and Thibodeau and Garnett were the crucial elements of the Celtics winning. He's probably better than Del Negro, but he isn't a top 2 or 3 coach in the league like everyone wants to say. |

To pretend that sometimes lines aren't set to draw action on a given side is disingenuous. |

TCU has looked pretty pedestrian, has a losing record, and lost their last game by 2 TDs. Texas is coming off the big rivalry win over OU and a bye week after saving their coach's job. Texas is back baby! People are pushing each other out of the way to bet on Texas. And you get +110. Man, that's too good to be true. This line could have been set at Texas -3 and still gotten a lot more Texas action. It probably could have been set at Texas -4.5 to get pretty even action. Instead it's Texas +2 and people are falling all over themselves to bet on Texas. If you don't want to call that a trap, that's fine. A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. But, it's a trap for Texas backers, get a + return on their money line bets. |

Sure, sure, I'll just trust you. I can't imagine that there have been a ton of large home dogs over the past ten years. And I am not sure this game even counts. The line hit 7, but seems to have closed at 6.5. There have only been 4 (5 if you are counting Bengals/Bills, which closed at 6) this year and two of them are Jacksonville, which both lost. You didn't give any stats as it relates to this game. Is this the only way you bet, with these trends? |

Those are some pretty strong stats. Those aren't too shabby, if you are into that sort of thing. How many instances apply to those two trends? I meant more like stats as to why this Bucs team is going to beat this Panthers |
