Schefter just said all signs were pointing to Ponder starting tonight. Putting money on that guy takes some serious balls...he is so bad.

Just put a Unit on Vikings +8.5
Not insanely confident but Thursday night games are weird and I think both teams will struggle to score, keeping the game close

I'm hearing that the best "sharp" play of the week is taking the points with Washington hosting Seattle, FWIW.

Yall still have confidence on the Vikings with Bridgewater out and the game at Lambeau?


Am I missing something here?

My betting philosophy has little to do with individual players. The differential between the Vikings QBs is small, IMO.

Still not sure if he is out, Im just saying from what Im reading in this thread, looks like people are still leaning Vikes even if Ponder starts

Ponder is AWFUL lol


So you're saying that if Peyton Manning out, you would still have the same confidence in the Broncos?

GB beat Chicago by 21 last week, but that amount is a bit deceiving.

GB's run D is terrible, and Minny's run game could be as good or better than Chicago's.

And I think Minny's defense is somewhat underrated.

Peyton Manning is worth serious points as far as Vegas is concerned.

Going from Bridgewater to Ponder...the line shouldn't change as they are probably worth the same amount of points to Vegas.

Here is a QB Vegas point worth article from last year:

LINK

quote:

Vegas Consensus: Quarterback Per-Game Value
Peyton Manning: 7 points
Tom Brady: 6.5 points
Aaron Rodgers: 6 points
Drew Brees: 6 points
Matt Ryan: 5.5 points
Colin Kaepernick: 5 points
Ben Roethlisberger: 5 points
Eli Manning: 4.5 points
Joe Flacco: 4 points
Andy Dalton: 4 points
Philip Rivers: 4 points
Robert Griffin III: 3.5 points
Jay Cutler: 3.5 points
Matt Stafford: 3.5 points
Russell Wilson: 3 points
Andrew Luck: 3 points
Tony Romo: 3 points
Sam Bradford: 3 points
Matt Schaub: 2.5 points


Other than the top tier QB's, player injuries shouldn't have any drastic or major effects on how you bet, because they don't matter.

I agree with this - he is a downgrade from Bridgwater, maybe even worth a point or two.

Minnesota is an a weird spot here - they are coming off a very short week (played the late afternoon game last Sunday), against a team and QB that should be coming in with lot of confidence.

Minnesota's defense was disappointing last week vs a banged up ATL offense. I suspect Lacy has a breakout game tonight and the GB OL starts to work out it's issues.

I'll be on GB if Bridgewater is out.

The rain is enough to keep me away. GB doesn't run the ball that well and they've been run on. Could be a low scoring, 17-10 or 20-13 type of game. Over a TD is too much for me to give.

Just saw on Twitter that the Packers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a TD or more favorite.

Rodgers typically does well vs. lesser competition.

More wagers piling on the Packers as the line continues to move to 7.5, I'll be extra curious to see how this one plays out.

I might tease the packers and Oregon tonight or just not bet at all. I might take the Packers TT ov 27.5 but the weather is making me hesitant.
