First up wishing everyone the best of luck and picking winners this PO season

Game 1 - TEXANS ML $125

Don't really love this game so many intangibles with Injuries, Indy has improved more than Houston over the year and certain have their number. The smart money initial moved this line off -3 right away but the Texans have manged to stay the Fav, even though they should be 3 point dogs by my stats. What has me leaning HOU is the Rush yard differential +34, the TO Margin +10, & believe it or not the better qb play leans to Watson. The Texans have some household names in Clowney and Watt on defense the Colts have done it with no name players and the emergence of few new guys that moved the defense up to the #11 ranking. I think the game comes down to the Texans pass rush vs pocket pass LUCK VS the Elusiveness of Deshawn Watson and his big play ability. The Texans need to take a page out of the JAQS 6-0 win on DEC 2 to see how to slow down LUCK.

GAME 2 - SEA +8 & O36 $300 tw $250

Alot of people like Seattle here but while the Seahawks were sqweaking out a game at home vs ARIZONA Dallas was resting EE, which could loom large today. Russell Wilson VS Dak is no contest and the coaching match up is tilted heavily towards Seattle as well except for one area no one seems to be speaking about Darren RICHARD . The Ex Seattle def co-ord seems to have transformed the Dallas Unit into a top notch tackling machine! You will see lots of shots of Marinelli on the sidelines today, but don't be fooled Richard is calling the defense. (maybe joe and buck will even reference it - If they do take shot for powerz)

The Seahawks always seem to be in the game if I was them I would be thinking about throwing the ball over that Line backing core and exposing the weak Pass D. This is why I think the game goes over everyone sees a running game with 2 good d's but I see the playbooks opening up and some explosive plays happening. Russel Wilson is MR. 4th q as well so we could catch the back door on this one!

Dallas was overvalued by my lines & smart money caught that too and moved the line down a bit early in the week but it too has held strong at -2, I think at the end of the day the Cowboys some how pull out a close win & the Seahawks impressive season comes to an end.

Enjoy the games Fans!

1-1 +125

Well the Texans Leadership or lack there of reared it's ugly head and they got out played in the 1st half. The Seahawks game went according to plan however and we ended up with a + day

LAC +3 - I have been riding the Chargers all season had future for them to win the AFC and still have one on them to win the Superbowl. They are so well balanced and the the defense has played great and now Joey Bosa is rounding into form after missing almost half the season. Lamar Jackson is a great story and the run that the Ravens have been on is a good one but look who they beat in the second half of the season. Cinncy, Oakland, Atlanta, TAMPA, LAC, Clev. Yes they did beat the chargers on the road but that was the first time they faced Jackson I am sure they will have a much better game plan & that game was an absolute must have for Balt. Last week was also a must have and the Brownies took the Ravens to the very end of the game.

I am a bit concerned that Rivers have not played very well starting with that Ravens Game, I was beginning to worry about arm fatigue. Anthony Lynn kept the starters in the whole game and finally with the game still in the balance the Chargers put a together a nice drive to pull away from Denver.

LAC +3 -114 $228
LAC ML +134 $100

LAC +10
Bears O34.5 $325 TW $250

The Bears are going to win this game Philly & ususlly when you win you over 82% of the time. Yesterday the Cowboys did not cover but won so I feel we have a slight statistical edge in that area. Philly has been playing with fire weeks and yes Big Dick Nick has come to save the team again who seems to have found their way after a rocky start, but I wonder how effective they can be on the road in CHIC. The Bears Defense is special they have +18 TO margin on Philly and they can get after the QB which could be large b/c of Foles injured ribs.

Alot of people don't believe in Trubisky but at home (QBR 111) and as a favorite (QBR 107) he shines and that is because of the Chicago run game. The old adage of the run game opens the passing game & Play action and don't forget Trubisky can run too. If this was a road start I would not be as high on the bears but At home I think the roll.

Lets see how game 1 goes and then I'll be back with my BEARS wager
