    Hooray for second halves! They've been saving my ass this season.

    Houston Texans -5 (+110)
    1 unit at Matchbook

    Damn, if we lose this one I am going to be one pissed off Texans fan. KC's run game is the strength of their offense, which just so happens to also be the strength of our D. I think a trend this year is going to be getting toasted by competent QBs and doing well vs teams that mostly run the ball this year.

    Worries me that Pinnacle is hanging a -4 while everyone else has a -4.5 though. If that's still the case when I leave, I'll probably buy this back.

    Texans/Chiefs OVER 44 (-115)

    Taking another Texans over because I don't think the books have quite caught up yet if this total isn't at 48.5 like it was last week.

    New England -2.5 (-105)

    I try to take New England whenever they're not spotting the other team an absurd amount of points. This is still a talented, well coached team, playing at home. -2.5 is good value to me.

    And oh boy, another Straddle:

    Won one yesterday in NCAAF, so hopefully that carries over:

    CLE +13.5, UNDER 37.5 (+275~ish)
    2.96 units

    PIT -13.5, OVER 37.5 (+275~ish)
    2.96 units

    CLE +7, UNDER 17.5 (+275~ish) 1st half
    2.96 units

    PIT -7, OVER 17.5 (+275~ish) 1st half

    Usually I don't like doing straddles on key numbers like 7 since if either leg of the parlay pushes, then I'm out a fair amount of juice, but the total here was so low I thought it was worth it. I guess we'll see if it bites me in the ass.
