Name That Line - Week 14

[Walter]

This helped me find the Cardinals as a big play last week.

For those of you who haven't seen the lines, this is to help me and others make picks. Simply post WHAT YOU THINK THE LINE WILL BE (not what you think the result will be):


Chicago Bears (5-7) at Washington Redskins (5-7)
Carolina Panthers (5-7) at Jacksonville Jaguars (8-4)
Dallas Cowboys (11-1) at Detroit Lions (6-6)
Miami Dolphins (0-12) at Buffalo Bills (6-6)
New York Giants (8-4) at Philadelphia Eagles (5-7)
Oakland Raiders (4-8) at Green Bay Packers (11-1)
Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3) at New England Patriots (11-0)
San Diego Chargers (7-5) at Tennessee Titans (7-5)
St. Louis Rams (3-9) at Cincinnati Bengals (4-8)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-4) at Houston Texans (5-7)
Arizona Cardinals (6-6) at Seattle Seahawks (8-4)
Minnesota Vikings (6-6) at San Francisco 49ers (3-9)
Cleveland Browns (7-5) at New York Jets (3-9)
Kansas City Chiefs (4-8) at Denver Broncos (5-7)
Indianapolis Colts (10-2) at Baltimore Ravens (4-7)
New Orleans Saints (5-7) at Atlanta Falcons (3-9)

Packers 10-2; not 11-1, my bad

[jimmyp]

Chicago Bears at Washington Redskins -3
Carolina Panthers at Jacksonville Jaguars -10
Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions +7.5
Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills -7
New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles +3
Oakland Raiders at Green Bay Packers -10
Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots -14 (depends if W ATS mon)
San Diego Chargers at Tennessee Titans +1
St. Louis Rams at Cincinnati Bengals -2 (who cares?)

Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks -1
Minnesota Vikings at San Francisco 49ers +5.5
Cleveland Browns at New York Jets +6
Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos -7
Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens +12
New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons -3

Could we get a line on the following:
Vikings over x yards against 49ers

[jimmyp]

Actually, it might be kinda fun to see how far off I am. When you release your picks, I'll add up the aggregate of the differences between my lines and Vegas'.

[Walter]

Nice. Vikings 177.5 Yards Over 49ers -130

Anyone else want to help out?

Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3) at New England Patriots (11-0) - NE by 10.5
San Diego Chargers (7-5) at Tennessee Titans (7-5) - TEN by 3 ( i think i'll be taking TEN here pending real line)
St. Louis Rams (3-9) at Cincinnati Bengals (4-8) - CIN by 4.5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-4) at Houston Texans (5-7) - TB by 1
Arizona Cardinals (6-6) at Seattle Seahawks (8-4) - SEA by 3

New Orleans Saints (5-7) at Atlanta Falcons (3-9) - NO by 4.5

Possible multi-unit plays:

Tennessee (+0) over San Diego: Public will pound San Diego, but I sense that the presence of a healthy Hanesworth will be enough to get Rivers throwing more--thus more turnovers.

San Francisco (+8) over Minnesota: Everyone loves Minnesota now after two blowout loses. Most people probably see this spread at 10+. I like the home dog.

Miami (+7) over Buffalo: Buffalo has only won one game by more than 7 this year, and that was against Cincinnati in Week 9.. as an underdog. Add in the fact that Miami just got blown out by the erratic Jets, which means lots of action on Buffalo. I think Miami keeps it close in this divisional matchup.

I'm pretty happy with those. I'm a little surprised that NO is favored at Atlanta as well as the Eagles laying points on the Giants (though with Ward out I'm starting to understand that).

[Walter]

The Giants will have Jacobs back though... Still seems like a shady line to me.

Bengals are -6.5. Seems like a good play.

[jimmyp]

I actually like the Rams at +7, esp if Bulger is back from la-la land.

As for Jacobs, I'll be sold on him when he rushes 3 consecutive 100 yard games, without getting injured. I've got the feeling that his body is just too damned big not to get beat up all the time.
