Week 18 Opening Line

Ravens favored by 3

 

Goes to show just how meaningless these NFL playoff calculation odds are. Steelers went from 96% favorites to 46.9% dogs to win the division and make the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Ravens went from a 4% chance to 53.1%. Now the Ravens are favored to win this game and the division. Thanks DK.

 

I don't worry about the gambling line. I only concern myself with the outcome of the game, the game plan that the coaches come up with, and the execution of the game plan by the players.

It's interesting as it concerns how they see the money for the game being bet on both teams, but it doesn't really determine who they think will win the game.

 

Ravens ML might be one of the biggest bets I have ever made.

 

That looks spot on, they had two chances to lock the division up, and have lost one, and that was against the stains at 3-12.

 

I'd be shocked if we come within 10 of them.

 

I agree but with the amount I’m wagering I don’t want any late backdoor points killing me.

 

The only concern I have about the game plan is that there never seems to be one.

 

There always is a game plan, but sometimes they simply fail out of the gate and they fail to make proper in-game adjustments to turn it around.

Sometimes other teams just kick your butt. It's just frustrating for fans when the team doesn't get it done. Hopefully they can come up with something that can get them over the top against the Ravens.

 

Underdogs at home. Should never have got to this point.

 

They'll cover.

 

So we'll lose by 2 or less points

 

Look for the Ravens to copy the Browns defense. Single high safety, drop Hamilton down into the box to stop the run. Dare Rodgers to hold the ball and complete passes with a not-safe-for-NFL WR corp.

 

Wish they would flex it to Monday Night!!!!!!

 

Take the over
