Week 12 Games that confuse me

Hoosiercatdaddy · #1 11-23-2010, 07:50 PM

Someone please explain to me the following lines. TY

San Fran(-1) at Arizona
The SF hype has to be gone by now, right? Don't get me wrong, AZ isn't making plans for the playoffs but at home on MNF to a really bad SF team. Both teams 3-7 so wouldn't you have to give the nod to the home team here?

Kansas City(-1) at Seattle
KC is improved this year but Seattle has played well at home except the one game Hasselback was out. Even with Hasselback out, they were only giving up 7 to the NYG, who at the time, were considered one of the elite teams in league.

Minny(+2) at Washington
No reason Washington isn't at least 3-4 point favs here. Minny has quit, unless they think another team is going to rally around new coach.

Philly(-3) at Chicago
Bears still getting no respect at 7-3 even after going to Miami and pitching a shutout. Vick getting too much credit here?

That is all. TY

Carolina might argue for this spot.

I think you are right. The Eagles getting all the respect and people will take them. Its a tough spot for the Birds because they are coming off two division games. If Cutler doesn't turn the ball over, the Bears win.

Well see what happens. Eagles D playing good right now, but Samuel can get beat because of the chances he takes. Cutler needs to be smart and I think is starting to come in his own in this offense. He just needs to realize that the defense and special teams will keep him in the game.

This line seems high to me. But then so am I. Baltimore at home in a tie with the Steelers in the division. Remember that the following week the Ravens meet up with the Steelers. This may be a game they rest players meaning the back door will always be open. I worry about both Balt and Steelers covering the number this week. They may want me to take the dog but I see reason to believe that the dog may bark. Look ahead ? Its just a thought.

Minni + 2 has to be a misprint. The Vikings haven't been good this season but Washington is horrible. Vikings win this game by 6.

49ers - 1 Someone was told that if they don't win this game you can plan on eating thru a straw for a year. Things like this happen in the bay. Seattle plays well at home but people play better when their balls are on the chopping blocks. Its the only thing that makes sense

Philly -3 I have to wonder if this is the week we find out if Philly is in it to win it. The big difference is the QB position. If Vick goes off, and he had a slow week last week, this game could get ugly. On the other side of the ball I have questions on what Jay Cutler is going to show up. The total on this game is interesting because of all goes right we could be looking at 50. I like the over in this match up
