the boys = 49.5

winandwin = 49
mattattack33 = 49

RAVENS -13 1/2 lmeao LVH demanding, I guess, that it be "interesting".

Ain't seen this line anywhere on Planet Earth. Except on this sheet. Its got a lot of folks mad. Me, I was already nervous about Ravens at -8.5 because they've hurt me on at least 2 occasions in this contest when I've trusted them minus some points. Most notably when The Chargers visited them line Ravens-6 and they manged to find a way to lose outright lol.

Either LVH really don't want entrants on THE RAVENS or they're trying to get as much $$$ on the Ravens as possible by tossing up this Prematurely Stale Number, for lack of anything better coming to mind...to call it.

Even 5 Dimes is no where close to this number. In fact right now they're at 9.5 with more action comin in on Cleveland at....still .5 below 10!!!! Squares are taking CLEVELAND and accepting less than 10 When CLE has NO QB????

Twilight Zone material lol.

Pinny at 8.5 still. With a slight BALT lean. It will be interesting, just in itself, to see if this number closes anywhere NEAR this LVH contest line. Whats already known is that they're definitely messin' with some folks heads lol...with this here, they've succeeded in confusing the hell out of quite a few people. It almost feels like, if any "statement" was desired to be made with this line that it was "OK Stale Line Geniuses, do something with this one." And I can't help but feel like its a "response" to the whining they had to listen to because of that Carolina line last week basically giving guys (and prolly KELLYINVEGAS too) a "free win".

Whats hilarious is I didn't use Carolina because I figured everyone here would be on it as well and really felt like Cleveland had a chance to win that game anyway...which wasn't WAY OFF, they were up 13-10 until 7:07 of the 4th quarter...only lost by 4....hindsight though I would have done better to have have used it since it ended up only The Boys and Zman did, of those I know about anyway...atman25 may have used it as well.

Hoping for a whole lotta 0-5...

Mean that in the best way possible.

+13.5 is a lot of pts. but Cleveland will still have to score with a QB that has very little chance to be productive against a strong Baltimore (HOME) defense (IMO). It should be interesting to see how this shakes out. What exactly is Cleveland playing for?

A noticeable % of entrant's submissions thus far see guys getting snared by the Browns +13.5 net. Many Submissions to go. Less than I thought, personally, than would find those 13.5 impossible to resist.

Baltimore has done nothing over their L5 to make, IMO, laying this number with them have value. They've done the opposite in fact. The game they gave away via Penalties, dropped passes, Elvis Dumbasserville LINING UP OFFSIDES THREE TIMES (how the FOCK DO YOU EVEN ACCOMPLISH THAT and has it EVER been accomplished before in the whole HISTORY of the game?) to SAN DIEGO at home when HC Harbaugh was 29-1 SU vs. AFC West....

THAT GAME is why they are where they are now, grasping at a pretty much already BROKEN STRAW to sneak into the playoffs.

Yeah....you won't hear the end of this, that SD outright win/Ravens MINDBOGGLING inability to COVER that one because there is a probability that I finish one game from winning this contest. If that happens I will likely NEVER FORGIVE THE RAVENS.

With all that said, Common Sense dictates that they cover here. Win by 20+ but they just have NOT performed like Ravens teams of the past.

Its as if, this season, they embraced the NYG strategy when they won their 2 Super Bowls. Suck when possible Win (and cover) only when absolutely necessary...do as little as possible to get to the postseason THEN start playing. But it backfired on 'em.
