Week 17 has always been about reading between the lines, understanding the head coach. and most importantly, knowing WHEN to bet based on my opinion vs. that of the public. This year, more than ever, game day has produced significant line moves on sides. My strategy for deciphering "smart" money versus public money has remained the same: I pay attention to the line moves on Thursday as my indicating tool. Reason being, is that Thursday is typically the day that the books will raise their bet limits to their respective max numbers. The pro's usually step in on Thurs, while the recreational bettor, who is flush and bet's limits, will likely wait till Sunday. I believe this has been ONE of the drivers behind game day line moves.

WK 17 also produces alot of "must win" angles favored by the public. In this day in age, when everything in on tape, and guys are playing for their next contract, "effort" is typically something I believe every team brings. Ok, enough of my opinion on market influence, and onto my card.

Margin Against the Close
The MAC system requires that a teams MAC score is either + or – 40 and if they are a fade team (score in the +) they had to have covered the prior week. If they are a PLAY ON team, they had to have not covered last week. The purpose of the MAC is to measure a team’s performance against the markets expectations.

Be back w/ some insight and possible additional plays.

:shake:
 
Hate to see you on Pack but can understand why. This is the same situation as the previous meeting, Vikes coming in hot and Pack coming in cold.

Sounds like Linval Joseph is out too which will hurt Minny run defense against Lacy who usually runs us over.
 
Troy - Yes, I don't bet every MAC play (I bet about 80% of them tho). Likely to bet both MAC plays this week, albeit it for less.

P - Vikes 9-1 against non-playoff teams, 1-4 against playoff teams. Not sure Teddy is ready for prime time.

Metallica - :shake:

ADDED:
Tenny/Colts UNDER 19.5 - 1st half (1.25)
Josh Freeman at QB? If it ever does click for him today , I suspect the odds favor the second half over the first.
