Has anyone else looked at this week’s card and scratched their head? There are 11 games with a spread of four or less.
When the lines came out Sunday night, there was only one number that jumped off the page. Every other lean induced a lukewarm feeling.
I had one reader ask me about teasers. Obviously teasing dogs lately has been a good avenue but I told him Week 10 is a bad one for teasers. Looks like you just need to pick the team you think will win.
Giants +4 (-120)Yup, I’m the ordinary bettor so I bought the half point. I know it’s only a semi key number but I just keep envisioning a 17-13 or 14-10 game. Not sure which team will be on top, but let’s pray for the G-Men.
Jacobs (and Bradshaw if he’s playing) won’t be able to do much against the Niners front seven. Nobody does. But where I think San Fran will be vulnerable is in the secondary. Granted, it hasn’t been as bad as I initially thought but this will be the best quarterback it has seen. Eli is elite, there’s no question about it. Even without Nicks he was able to beat the Pats.
But the bulk of this bet comes from what I think will come out of the Niners offense, which isn’t much. Harbs may like to think he has an elite quarterback too but those terrorizing beasts up front for New York should knock Alex Smith down a couple of rungs. He’s been playing much too efficiently and this could be the week he makes some ugly mistakes.
If you’ve been following my ramblings this year you know I’m a sucker for team totals so I might have a few of those Sunday morning. There are also two game totals I’m monitoring. I will add plays in the comment section below.
I do a weekly radio spot with former outfielder and fellow gambler Eric Byrnes. We discuss Texans-Bucs, Pats-Jets, Giants-Niners, Oregon-Stanford and more in
this week’s segment.
I’m available on
