A pair of Saturday games has the card up early for me, as one of the plays lands here. If I wasn’t shadowing the super contest this is likely a week I would be more selective in my plays.

Houston -6

Detroit +2.5

Giants -2.5

Tampa +7.5

Pats -2.5

Carolina +5.5

Good spot for Houston to be motivated with playoffs looming… Buffalo has a date with the Patriots next week that probably stands out more to them than this game with Detroit … like the Giants end of season momentum at home… Baltimore has a date with the Chargers next week, look for them to get out with their lives but spread won’t be important to them… Patriots simply on their ability to bounce back over the years, and they have had the Steelers number for years …. with the winning week I would fold my money over on Monday, but Carolina fits the system numerically. A lean on Oakland….

Going to take a look at some of the stakes races later today… Check the Twitter feed I’ll post if there’s anything I love.
