First, I wonder how the NFL would make this a primetime Thursday Night game. It's probably not worth watching. San Diego has the slightest of shots to make it to the playoffs, and at this point, they have no control. Denver gets Kansas City and Buffalo at home in their last 4, so that tale end meeting with San Diego could be meaningless. A couple of things concern me with the Chargers ability to cover this spread. They haven't won a game by more than 1 point in over six weeks, and that was against Kansas City at home! Oakland is no bargain here either. Their inconsistant play shows that they are capable of being blown out any time they step on to the field. To their credit, 9.5 points would cover their last 3 games. They also had the lead on San Diego in the first game and probably feel they should have gotten the victory. They managed to payback Denver for the embarrassing loss, that ended Kiffins NFL head coaching job. Two of the 3 wins they have, were on the road. They lost to Buffalo by 1 and Miami by 2. I think the Raiders have a good chance to cover this number, but if you can't get it at 10, I would buy the half. Oakland+10
Well, I was afraid of this game, the line went down to 9 at kickoff, so there was no way to hedge to 10, but I bet the pos Raiders+9 anyway. There are 5 or 6 teams in this league that will not play with any consistancy, this was one of them, and I knew it, and still dumped my cash. I'm pissed that with all the elements that were telling me to lay off, that I didn't lay off. And also if anyone followed me on this game, I apoligize. It won't get your money back, but at least you know where I stand.
Can't win them all VF. I'm sure you will pull it around this weekend. There are tons of other games just waiting to be exploited in College and NFL this week.
These NFL channel games have been real duds all year. 😀
