Sea -7.5 Was

[NajdorfDefense]

-105 at Pinny, I got 2 units down on SEA so far, given WAS' putrid offense and Hawks great O, at home, I think Was goes down, particularly with the injury problems they suffered. Definitely adding if it goes to 7 or lower. thoughts?

I dropped a quick tease on Pats -1.5, Seattle -1.5

I really like moving both of these games down inside three.

Very nice! It has already moved to 9 at PIN.

The Washington/Seattle game is going to be really hard to predict, but I don't think Washington is a 7.5 underdog. Their defense is too good, it will be a close game, and if Clinton Portis is allowed to rush for > 4yds/carry there's no chance of them losing by that much.

I think Seattle is definately the way to go. I have it at -8.5, which is going to be a bargain. I can see the spread reaching double digits.

Washington looked horrible today. Their offense essentially only scored 3 points, the rest were due to their D. Brunell and Portis are less than 100% and Hasselbach and Alexander are a huge upgrade to Simms and Williams.

I've been developing a computer ranking system that in theory handicaps games. It was originally for college, but last night I set up a version for the NFL to predict the playoffs. Now it's completely untested in the NFL (it did mediocre at predicting the bowl season, would have lost about 2 cents on the dollar betting, not counting juice), but for what it's worth it says that Seattle should be a 6.1 favorite.

So far the computer is 1-0, having picked Washington straight up to win by 3.8, so if New England only wins by 1.3 (ish) then perhaps it's onto something, and Washington might be a slightly worthwhile bet, though it sounds like the line will move toward Seattle so if you do follow my computer's advice you'll probably want to wait. Wish the mechanical brain luck, unless you bet on the Pats [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Very nice! I was away from my computer at the time or I would have done the exact same thing.

I saw this today and was trying to figure out

1) How the books knew who the Pats were playing next week

2) Why on Earth you'd put money on the Pats -1.5 against either the Broncos or Colts.

Took me a minute or two to figure out.

heh, yeah, put in the tease as soon as the Redskins game ended and the spread for Seattle / Washington went live: Patriots game had yet to start.

I hope everybody else thinks the same thing. I would love to get Washington +10. Seattle is overrated.
