Behind this week here go the games.
Week 15
2. Pit @ Atl: could be more entertaining than I'd have thought before the Falcons traded shots with Green Bay last week. Should be a lot of offense, if you like that sort of thing. The line is Steelers and 2.5 with the action favoring them 56/44. I have it a two point advantage, but I'm standing on it, so give me Atlanta in the upset.
3. GB @ Buf: the Bills were respectable against Denver last week, but I don't know that anyone is stopping that Green Bay offense often at this point and can the Bills find three tds? I think they'll have to if they want a chance to win. The line is GB at 5.5 with the action 82/18 in agreement. Weather won't be a factor for either team. I'll take the Pack.
4. Cin @ Cle: Johnny gets his chance. The Bengals are a measly .5 favorite and 56/44 split agrees. Impossible to say, but I like the Browns to show why a good team with a dynamic quarterback can equal renewed playoff hopes. We'll see. Give me Cleveland.
5. Hou @ Ind: the Texans couldn't beat the Colts a couple of weeks ago in their own place, falling 28-33. And that's why Indianapolis is a 6.5 favorite at home this week. I mean the common thought is add three points or so and the line is an easy make. The action runs a strong 72/28 in agreement. I love my Colts, but I think it's closer and I'll take the Texans to keep it more interesting and ruin the line.
6. Oak @ KC: yes, Oakland is that bad, but you have to keep an eye on them, isn't that right KC? Not this time. The line is a vengeful 10.5 for the Chiefs at home. The action agrees 72/28. So do I. I have it 28-13 for Kansas City.
7. Mia @ NE: in the week of rematches, Brady and Co. are still angry about the 33-20 thumping the Fins gave them early in the season. The match up with these two is actually pretty good on paper, but for a while now the Fins have only beaten weaker teams and lost else. The line is 7.5 for New England at home with a 72/28 split in favor. Okay by me.
8. Was @ Gia: :yawn: the Giants are 6.5 favorites and the action says, "Sure, why not?" 77/23. I have it ten, so "Sure, why not?"
9. TB @ Car: continuing with the weeks sleepers...literally. Cam won't be suiting up so Carolina's 5.5 line seems Everest like. I think his loss is worth seven to ten points and even Tampa should be able to play that much of a give into a closer game. Give me the upset.
10. Hacksonville @ Bal: that about says it for me. Line? 13.5 Ravens and the action is nearly evenly split 51/49 for Baltimore. Only the line makes this game attractive at all. And I'll take it.
11. Den @ SD: could be one of the week's best. Denver is a scant 3.5 road favorite against a talented Charger team. Denver is marginally better at defending the pass, but that's about it. Action? 74/26 Denver's way. I'm in.
12. Jet @ Ten: I really can't care about this one. Line, 1.5 for the Jests and the action agrees, barely, 53/47. I'll take New York, but only because of the unholy mess that is Tennessee.
13. Min @ Det: the Lions are a strong home favorite, with the line going their way 7.5 and the betters piling on 67/33. To me that should be about right. 27-17
14. SF @ Sea: I'd have been a lot more excited about this at the beginning of the year. Now it seems almost a foregone concussion.
lain: What was a heated rivalry no longer seems like much of a game. The line is 9.5 for the visiting Hawks. The action runs 58/42 in support. I hate road lines like this...but I'll take it.
15. Dal @ Phi: both teams could really use the win. Only one of them is going to get it. This has been your Insider information of the weak. Philly is a 3.5 rebound home favorite with a marginal 55/45 support from the action. I like them by more.
16. NO @ Chi: the Saints are favored on the road...where I guess the thinking is they have to play better. The line is 2.5 in favor. I don't see why. Chicago wins this one outright. Who cares about the action? ...okay, it favors the Saints 60/40. But what do they know?
Week 15
:mmph: 0-1 That's a very serious defense in Arizona. But now they're on the next qb down the list and unless they can get Warner back under center...impressive win by the D though. I almost didn't mind starting out with a loss.
