Rexy's Week 10 Niffel...

Sup fellas... Choppy last week, but all in all good start to the season in the Niffel. Numbers are really tightening up; so hard to find a good value play every week anymore. Sometimes it seems they pop up once a month, and you might even miss them if you're not paying attention.

This will be closer to a home game for the Jags, repeat "hosts" in London, than playing Dallas at "home" would be. Jags continue to play hard, and Dallass going the wrong way. Points could work here, with Robinson establishing a ground game for the Jags that was non-existent when Gerhart was getting the first-string carries. Jags have covered three of four, and will be in it with a chance to win it at the end, if they're not playing from ahead all day. Expect Romo to struggle with a bit of rust here; Jags D will play hard. Can Bortles stop shooting his team in the foot?

The play: Jags +7

How will Detroit come out of the bye, now that 81 is back in the fold no less? If Miami repeats its effort from last week, they will win this game for fun. I lean Detroit flat early and Meemi 1st half, but will pass it because i would have liked a bit better price.

Bills were catching points at one point, which made little sense to me. That said, Fat Andy is 11-1 on the road ATS since taking the KC job.

Missed the price on Saints, as i made it a smidge higher than it is now and should have laid 4, but was distracted by multiple other things this week. Still would be a lay, gun to my heads. I'm anti-49ers and i think the Saints are about to get rolling.

Made Tenny a smidge higher but laying DD's with Balty on a semi-short week is probably not one of the smarter things to do, even with Titans stiff starting at QB.

I shudder to think about how bad the decision will be for the offices today. How can the sharp guys just pile on the Jets when the public would willingly lay 6 flat? Big Ben threw for 12 TD passes in two weeks, and now gets a defense that has given up 24 TD's and has just one INT. (Shuddering). That said, I did make the game a smidge cheaper myself.

A lean to Tampa at home with the revenge angle. Not sure how Atlanta turns around the ship after their collapse a fortnight ago in London. No play for now, but will consider +3 flat or better.

Lean Oakland at +11.5 or better; they'll play hard. Just so tough to fade Denver off a loss; had they done their shit last week i would be all over Oakland today.

Lean Rams on paper, but my number is a smidge higher.

Made Packers a smidge higher but who knows what you get out of the Bears today out of the bye.

Somehow made Philly higher even though I lean Caro. I think it's because I only downgraded Philly slightly for losing Ryans, but I actually UPGRADED them for having Sanchez over Foles. Yes, I think Sanchez is a better QB for that system (more athletic, has more experience) than Foles is. Pass.

One side. No totals. Meh. I'll be back around halftime of the 1:00s looking for plays. With only seven games, I'll be able to watch six of them comfortably and be getting good intel on the other one. GL today...

Rex : Why is Pitt line dropping when pretty much every Tom,Dick, & Harry is on them?? If the line was 7 the public would still pound Pitt...wtf is with this line. I don't care who covers the spread, the line is very soft as have been many lines this yr imo. Yesterday was perfect example with Duke -4 , no one in the home area or America played SU & they would have laid 7 with Duke.....some very soft lines week in & week out this yr
 
The Jets are the "play" from the line movement standpoint, I just don't have the balls to take them with that low of a line. I would take them +7.


That being said, they probably win, or Pitt takes a last second FG to take the lead. Thanks for the post Rex.

I don't care who the right side is, no way should this line be less than 6, the public is hitting Pitt like they know the final score as they did with Duke yesterday

PITT has some Injuries on Defense
 
Cash: I'll play devil's advocate with that game.

Pitt won last 2 games at home and at night; big edges (usually) for the outdoor home team under the lights this year. Look at the O/U of the night games in prime time; i think it's 22-6 after 9 weeks. Now they play an early start on the road.

Jets have been getting respect from the sharp guys all year; they bet them at home vs. Oakland in game 1, vs. Bears on MNF week 3, Leos at home Week 4, Denver at home week 6, and Bills at home Week 8. It's consistent - every time the Jets play a home game, the database guys and the sharpest of the sharp handicappers see value in the Jets. They continue to lose but that won't last forever; otherwise why would they keep beating a dead horse?

Vick getting his first home start today, and after almost two full games of experience, maybe he'll have some success today against a banged up Pittsburgh defense.

I don't really know what else to say other than look at what the books close their lines when that game kicks. The number on it will tell you how much gamble they have to them. If you see some of these public/sucker shops that are afraid to have big decisions, you could see a 4.5-120 (sportsbook.com) or higher.... and then you'll see the pinnacles/grandes/cris's of the world using 3.5 dog money (like they have now), telling you that they trust and lean on the guys who bet the dog to get the money more in the long run than those who want to lay that price with the Steelers. If i were booking with my money and the market currently as it is, i'd be using 3.5 flat and letting them all figure it out, laying -110 either way.

My Jags +7 play was small for 1u. I added 1.5 units at +7.5 after doing more work, so call this a strong medium play on Jacksonville today, and don't be surprised if they win outright.

Also adding Saints at cheap juice; it seems Billy is against me there, so -5.5 even is the play medium for 2u. I don't see it falling 4 or 5; if it falls 3 or they lose, I pay. DOn't recommend laying second numbers but it was at 6 at one point, no shot i can do that. At less, I can.
 
Welp, had too much invested on the Jags. Taking my lumps this week. Horrible Saturday followed by a horrible Sunday.
 
I had Jags in a Teaser +20 1/2, I thought that was the safest of the 3. Not so much now. Bortles can't even get the ball to his WRs.
