    Week 15 Thurs

    Jacksonville +4.5 -132

    3 units


    This line is available at Sportbet, for anyone wondering how I got such a wacky line.

    Now as for why, I believe that 4 is the biggest key number in football. Not 3, and sure as hell not 7. I could have gotten +3.5 -110, +4 -125, or +4.5 -132. Now for 7 more cents, I'll take that hook off the 4. I believe that +4.5 could be so valuable in this game if the Colts bring their game to win, that it is worth the extra 22 cents to get from +3.5 to +4.5, reason being that if the Colts require a late score to win, which certainly wouldn't be the first time this year, and they get it, also wouldn't be the first time, there is virtually no way they cover -4.5.

    If they are down 2, they probably settle for the winning FG, win by 1. If they are down 3 or more, and get the TD, they win by a max of 4.

    Therefore, weather it's a smart idea or not, I am paying a little more to protect myself against what many fear.....another great Manning comeback win.

    I just don't see this being a lopsided game.

    Now with that being said, and jackass Lang on Jacksonville, 41-3 Colts sounds about right :puke:

    Also played Pittsburgh at -1 for 4 units, but wanted to get it out there now so there's no line controversy, as I'm thinking it might move up to as much as -3 till game time across the board, since some books are already -1.5 and -2.

    To keep a long story short for now, I think this is the perfect spot to jump on Pittsburgh, and the perfect team against which to do it. I think GB has overachieved, and their road wins are total ****.

    Will repost it on Sunday, possibly with some more reasoning if i get a chance, but Pittsburgh is without a doubt my favorite play of the week, so i figured i'd throw it out there.
