Tennessee Push, Baltimore Tease
I'm not sure how they decide whether or not to kick the extra point when a team scores a winning touchdown on the last play in the game. I think they kick it as long as it isn't overtime. Sudden death isn't sudden death if it is followed by a PAT.
Anyway, I was sweating this question when Vince Young threw a game winning pass to put the Titans up on the Cardnails, 19-17. Since I had Tennessee(-3) I was extremely interested as to whether or not the PAT would happen. It did, and I escaped with a push. As exciting as the final drive (and PAT) was, I was probably even more excited that the final drive was executed free of plays involving Chris Johnson. Johnson had already exploded for 29 fantasy points for my opponent, and I trailed him by about 20 points at that point, so I really needed Johnson to stop producing, and he obliged.
I've gone ahead and double teased Baltimore and the UNDER, and Baltimore and the OVER.
This works out to BALTIMORE(-1.5)over pittsburgh,OVER 28.5, and
BALTIMORE(-2)over pittsburgh, UNDER 41. I paid the extra vig for another half-point on the over tease. Maybe I should have done that on both.
Baltimore is up 7-0, and Pittsburgh just punted for the second time. I now have Willis McGahee as Ray Rices' handcuff, but since he is on my bench, I'm not exactly thrilled that he has vultured an early TD. Baltimore shows every sign of getting Rice the ball on about half of their offensive plays, however, so I suspect he will do enough to give me the fantasy lead going into Monday night, knock on wood. Right now I trail by 12
