Tampa has given up over 100 points in 3 games. I know that the Bucs will come to play on Sunday but shouldn't this line be higher?

Why do you like them against that Denver defense?

Jameis will put a rocket into his legs and fly straight to the end zone. I am just kidding but you need to visit my thread, there is couple stats support the Broncos from last 6-8 years.

I don't like the word trap, but it is the kind of line -- short road dog, public pounding one side but line stays firms or moves the wrong way etc... -- that lends itself on playing the dog, for sure

The book has been killing it with these kind of games. Last week Philly and Buffalo were the other end of "traps" and cashed. But, B-more and oakland covered as short road dogs, too (but not quite as much public money on those too).

Probably TB or no play for me.

I know what you mean about the word trap...this is the kind of game where Tampa comes to play and Denver has a letdown.

However, the talent level isn't really close at all especially on defense. If the Bronco's want this game bad enough then I think they win easiily. Therefore, I cautiously have to go with Denver.

There are games every week that we say looks to easy or is a trap. Last week everyone was saying that about the Dallas Chicago game. Sometimes we just over think it.

Denver -3, large

No they weren't. They were saying it about the AZ/Buff game though...

Carolina -3 at atlanta jumps out as a "trap" to me too. Carolina coming off a loss and sitting at 1-2 seems like they really need a win here. I get it's a divisional game on the road, but to me Carolina is a better team that really needs a win.

If you evaluate the game on Xs and Os it Denver seems like the choice. But sometimes Xs and 0s are less persuasive than studying line movements, public consensus and historical trends. After all, on Xs and Os, Buffalo should've been killed last week.

Trap? Denver just beat a damn good cincy team, haven't lost yet, and the bucs aren't very good. They just lost AT HOME to the RAMS. the rams! if the Rams scored over 30 pts Denver sure as hell will and blow them out

The difference is that this line makes no sense. This line should be at least -7, if not higher.

There are no injuries I'm aware of that would make this line so low.

This is the reason people are saying trap.

There is a difference between saying a game is a trap, because of situational concerns......and saying its a trap because the line makes absolutely no sense.

Buffalo had 3 days extra rest plus they were playing at home playing a west coast team at 1 pm eastern.

jets did as well but were traveling to KC.

Yeah something is up. Makes me wonder if someone isn't going to play or if someone knows something I don't. Denver seems too easy here. When something is too good to be true it usually is.
