The downside of routine. Breaks happen both ways. A way to get less ripped off by casinos.

TCW: Saints +6.5 over Falcons

LFCW: "They were three plays away from making the playoffs."

RW: Value from futures bets is often elusive

WW: Matt Taff

The joy of victory. Some jobs don't feel like jobs. Ridiculous flaws in counting stats.

TCW: 49ers +3.5 over Rams

LFCW: "The Panthers are out of contention so there’s just no reason for Kuechly to play."

RW: Return TDs count against team defense stats

WW: No clue

Joe Flacco makes a poor throw. Insurance is a poor solution. It would be a poor decision to pass up a head coaching job (so nobody(basically) does).

TCW: Eagles +6.5 over Ravens

LFCW: "Just get an insurance policy."

RW: There are only 32 head coaching jobs in the NFL

WW: TheGrossProphet

Can intelligence evaporate? Can Giants' fans be any more irrational? Can we create some new narratives?

TCW: Jets +2.5 over 49ers

LFCW: "It's better to go in as a wild card."

RW: The favorites haven't changed

WW: KathiKKS

Rules helping defenders. A reason people hate elites. Two years isn't really two years.

TCW: Vikings +3.5 over Cowboys

LFCW: "I don't think there is any way he's contemplating retirement."

RW: NFL contracts are different

WW: BretLC1964

Rare incompetence. There are many ways to lose. Not being hot in December.

TCW: Titans -3.5 over Bears

LFCW: "You didn't lose because of the officials."

RW: You don't need to play your best football in December to succeed in January

PW: Z** W*****

So many choices. A popular, yet meaningless, complaint. Ways to make money.

TCW: Steelers -9.5 over Browns

LFCW: Any comment against the new PAT rule

RW: Thanksgiving dinner is a great time to make money

WW: Too early to say

A glorious celebration. An unfair standard. A regression to his norm.

TCW: Chiefs +2.5 over Panthers

LFCW: "Matt Stafford shouldn't even be considered for the MVP because his team hasn't won enough games."

RW: Last year was the Cam Newton outlier, not this year

WW: willflemming

Fatigue (maybe) matters. Multiple paths to success (or failure). A stupid strategy (stunningly employed by smart people).

TCW: Dolphins -3.5 over Jets

LFCW: "This shows that the Jared Goff pick was a colossal disaster."

RW: Betting against teams that keep beating the spread is a stupid strategy

WW: mikeschaef16

The Browns strike again. Certain honest opinions about honesty are honestly terrible. And deceiving memories.

TCW: Browns +3.5 over Jets

LFCW: "Look, I'm not advocating lying, but there's nothing wrong with not revealing everything, you know?"

RW: Kickers are making PATs at a higher rate this year than last year

WW: MMastro4
