whats up with these early lines at betjm???

Texans -8 vs pats
Jets -10 vs bengals

The thIrd and fourth seeds are not locked yet bengals and pats could switch spots depending on what happens this weekend. Are they not going to play for anything and be happy with what they have now. Not understanding these lines but if they are playing for seeds then I'm all over the dogs specially with these lines.

Is this a mistake or is it just me???

Patriots aren't going to try and win. They would rather have anyone but the Steelers in the playoffs.

Bengals all but gone south for the winter. Can't see this as a good spot with nothing to really play for. I believe they will sit players or perhaps not even show up. With the way they squeaked by in the last few games I can't see them even trying in this game. Coaches worry about injuries which is not always the smart thing to do.

right thats for the 1st round draw, but I think they get a favorable 2nd round draw as well

Any team that needs help to get in the playoffs does not belong there. Get your home work done and you don't need someones help to get into the playoffs. Don't be sorry its the way it is.

Have you watched the Patriots this season ? I think the Patriots are over valued and they don't have the depth they have had in years past.

I dont think they are great neither steel but I watched them pick apart teams with horrible secondaries ie Jax and I think the same thing would happen
