OFFICIAL Week 8 NFL Bet Thread

That thread probably would have gotten whacked

Even with the injuries, I think Carolina laying 7 points on most books now is way too much.

Carolina's 3 big wins were against the Giants, Minnesota, and St. Louis. 73% of the money is on Carolina, yet the line has only moved .5 towards Carolina. Tells me there's some decent money on TB's side. Also, if you compare Tampa's home stats versus Carolina's away stats, there's really nothing that sticks out. The only thing I noted was the drastic difference in penalties and Carolina's sacks allowed away.

I'm going to wait for the public to hammer Carolina some more and jump on the TB bandwagon at +7.5 for a unit.

eta: the prediction average from a number of system generators came out to -7.3. Yet another reason to snag TB + the points if the line crosses the 7 mark (which I think it will).

I'll also be taking the U if the # keeps climbing.

It's a strong teaser week, not a lot of matchups stick out. I was going to say that the best Carolina play might be to tease Carolina + the U.

Stay away from KC - pick Denver at home coming off a loss instead.

You'll thank me.

If browns put together one early scoring drive then get a turnover or something KC will struggle to make up double digit deficit against top 5 browns defense.

yea, teasing Denver down to -4 wouldn't be bad. although not getting past a key number.

Couple units on Bucs +7 tonight

Glennon looks decent I'm worried about the lack of Schiano Men though - TB gave up a few weeks ago and who knows if a "prime time" Thursday nighter with 66% capacity is enough to turn it back on?

Interesting stats.

Carolina is an enigmatic team - they have the potential to look great and the potential to suck complete arse.

I don't like betting them or into them, I just want no part of it.

Props and totals seem like the better options tonight. If you have to pick a side and it gets to 7.5, TB is the sharper side, but I predict sharps are passing overall.
