Raider pucker factor / The royal we
Halfway through the weekend, and I haven't bet on any football. Well, we can't let that happen. I took
OAKLAND(+2.5)over pittsburgh. There is a bit of a pucker factor taking the Raiders, but Pittsburgh hasn't exactly overachieved at the coliseum when they were good. LeVeon Bell may be back, but I think it's a little early to say the Steelers are good again.
Otherwise, now that Denver's lost a game, they feel a bit less predictable, and Robert Griffin III is starting to look more like himself, so I feel like I need a bet that will win with a range of outcomes. I need to be cut some proverbial slack.
That's why I went with the double tease, of Denver and the over, and Washington and the over. This gives me a range where if Denver wins by seven to 17.5 I win, as long as the teams go over 52. Of course, Dallas and Philadelphia showed us that these projected shootouts are never a certainty, but we'll take our chances. You're not coming with me? The royal we, then.
DENVER(-6.5)over washington, OVER 51.5 and
wahsington(+18)over DENVER, OVER 52. I tried to save $$ by teasing 5.5 instead of 6 in the Washington bet, but still paid even money on both bets.
I high scoring game here will be good for me in fantasy as well, as between my two teams I have Griffin, Wes Welker, and Eric Decker...oh year, and Jordan Reed. Still ahven't decided if I will start him, though. Hopefully my scoring bias isn't clouding my judgement here.
