Starfleet Selections: NFL Week 16
One bet jumps out at me for now (which may mean fade me, since my super early leans tend to bite the big ones).
But...I took the bait because I don't know where this line will go after MNF.
IND -9 (-104)
5 units at Pinnacle
WTF is with this line? It should be at like IND -13.5 or -14.5, at minimum. The only weakness of the Colts is their run D, which the Texans can't exploit whatsoever, with our weakass running game and our refusal to give up on 'the Carr Project'.
The only thing I can think of is that the books think the public will be disappointed with teh Colts after a lackluster year of covering, and having lost 3 straight going into MNF.
But, I don't see this line going anywhere but up unless the books pull something funny on us (and if they do and the Texans actually WIN, I'll be so ecstatic, I won't even care that I lost. ). Should Indy lose to CIN, their desperation to beat us should be even higher and so the line shoudl go up. Should they win against CIN, their drive to try to get a first round bye should be enough to make this line go higher. I don't understand...but maybe that's what makes HOU +9 a great play?
At any rate, I'm getting this down now. And I WILL be at this game on Christmas Eve. Woot. Go Texans? or Go Colts? I'm conflicted...
