week #4 lines that look screwy

[pigskin punk]

The lines on these 4 games made me stop and scratch my head.

1) Jets-5 @ Buff After 2 big wins over NE & Miami do they play flat? Bills finally put up some points last week. Line looks too low.

2) Houston -3 @Oak Do they forget about the thrashing at home vs Dallas and thump Oakland or play like last week and not show up? A.Johnson's ankle a concern. Line looks too low.

3) Indy-7.5 @Jacksonville Colts 2nd in a row on the road. Jags have to be one of the worst teams in the league right now. They usually play Manning tough but this maybe a blowout and over by halftime. Why is this spread so low?

4) Nyg -4 at home vs Bears The way the Giants are playing they should be getting the points. Bears 3-0 fresh off a gift wrapped Mon night victory over GB . They don't give away money this easy in Vegas? This line is totally bogus.

First 3 are on the road so thats 6.5-7.0 pts right there if the home field is swapped. Those lines arent low.

Its the Giants line that is high considering the Bears wont even be a FG fav at home vs the Giants.

That bears line is very off

if chicago would be favored at the Giants money would pour in the NYG and line would change very quickly- Vegas does not like huge line changes because sharps will 'tween em' and that is a risk books don' t need nor want to take- thus the try to find the obvious 50/50 split spread

maybe thinking the Bears being flat coming off a short week win?

Short week + huge game vs Packers, real tricky line, I would take Giants at -3, and they might cover -5, but yeah... real screwy lines this week and real TOUGH lines this week. Already bet skins and falcons, sorta like Rams, and if the Browns are starting Wallace I like them +3 but it sounds like Delhomme might start (horrible decision)

I don't see anything wrong with the top 3 games. Manning as +TD fav on the road makes the most sense.
