Whacky Week 16 Lines

[Walter]

Didn't go through them all yet, but these stuck out at me:

Browns -3 at Bengals

WTF is this?


Steelers -7.5 at Rams

Thought it'd be -9.5.

[Matt McGuire]

Thanks Walter if Bet US has their lines up already (doubt it) I'm putting 2 units on the Steelers and 1 unit on the Browns (assuming those lines). Both teams are playing very good football lately.

[Walter]

Matt, be careful with those. Shady lines generally means larcenous activity and that you should go the other way.

[Walter]

Texans at Colts -9

Should be 14ish!?

[Matt McGuire]

I know. But if you see a good line you should bet it. I'm not going to bet the tough games.

[Matt McGuire]

I disagree. I might end up taking the Texans +9, but prolly won't bet that game.

[Walter]

There is no such thing as a good line.

Question:

With the Browns -3, how much public money do you think will be on the Browns?

[Matt McGuire]

Good lines are very rare, but some are better than others.

[Phil]

Texans at Colts -9

Should be 14ish!?

I think that's because the Colts already clinched.

[Walter]

Yeah, I figured, but the public is still going to pound the Colts at that line. Guess that's our edge.

[Phil]

83% of public already on Browns (albeit it is only Monday).. loving the Bengals this week.

By the way, Texans line moved down to 7 with 65% on Indy.

Some games that I initially like:

Dallas -12
Detroit -4.5
Seattle -9.5
Denver +9

[Walter]

Bucs -7

[Walter]

Eagles eliminated and Saints only -3?
