Week Five Lines

NEW ORLEANS (-3) Carolina
Jacksonville (-2.5) KANSAS CITY
WASHINGTON (-3.5) Detroit
TENNESSEE (-8) Atlanta
HOUSTON (-5.5) Miami
PITTSBURGH (-6) Seattle
NEW ENGLAND (-16.5) Cleveland
Arizona (-3) ST LOUIS
NY GIANTS (-3) Ny Jets
INDIANAPOLIS (-10) Tampa Bay
DENVER (-1.5) San Diego
Baltimore (-3.5) SAN FRANCISCO
GREEN BAY (-3.5) Chicago
Dallas (-10) BUFFALO


As discussed in yesterday’s blog, these lines are set to induce equal action on each side and hopefully create an equal chance that either event will happen. That being said, who is willing to admit that they will simply flip a coin for each pick this week? Or go with the home team in each game? Or go with the road team? Or the favorite? Or the underdog? The truth is picking one of these strategies and sticking to it probably wont win you the overall pickem challenge title, but I guarantee you wouldn’t come in last. You’d be stuck somewhere in that murky middle. So try it… or don’t.

Except the Patriots. Whatever the spread, however high it seems, they always cover. Never pick against them.
