I always like to know the top 5 Hilton Super Contest. This week's lineup:
Detroit ‐6½ 513
Carolina +1½ 453
Minnesota +6½ 356
Denver ‐3 290
Arizona +8 287
Arranged according to Widest Margin of Selections:
1 Detroit ‐6½ By 432 (Now -8½)
2 Carolina +1½ By 390 (Now -4)
3 Minnesota +6½ By 245 (Now +6)
4 San Diego +1½ By 134 (Closing Line)
4 St. Louis ‐4½ By 134 (Now 6½-7)
Last week I decided to take the top few (18) players in the contest and see how they did. They went 4-0 or at least 3-0-1 depending on the SEA/SF line bet into. The better line San Fran changes a bit. Anyway, last week:
Jets - Won 16-11 and covered.
San Francisco - changes if you took 9½ or gave 9½ instead of 10. Call it a push.
Buffalo - Won 21-9 won and covered.
Minnesota - Won 14-16 lost but covered.
This week:
Detroit? Haven't looked great on offense all year to me. They NEED to win against Chicago. Honestly, I WANT Jay Cutler. Instead I get Jimmy Clause, who if he has a smigeon of talent, and a semblance of football smarts, could certainly throw a wrench in the works. Really, if I am betting against Chicago, I prefer Jay Culter to ANY other QB. I'l take Detroit. I may even tease them. I'll take Detroit -8½
Carolina. I'm betting against Johnny Football until he wins a game. He will eventually, so milk it while to can and realize it WILL END. I'm thinking Johnny Teaser Killer. So gimmie Carolina -4. I doubt it'll be this week.
Dallas -3 also HAS to win, and brings a injured-hand running back against the Colts, who as far as I can tell - can't really move up. Coach Pagano goes on about how it doesn't matter they've clinched the Division and are #3 seed and have zero at stake. Sure Pagano won't rest players, except if he does (that's what he said). T.Y. Hilton is amoung the players that need a rest. I know it's not smart to risk the health of any player with nothing at stake. I think Chuck realizes that an injury to QB Luck would simply be fatal to his coaching ambitions. The Colts do have a lot of lingering injuries. Time for a rest.
St. Louis over the NY Giants? Maybe. I don't trust either offensive line to keep a QB upright. I'm not sure I'd backShaun Hill under almost every circumstance, including him staying upright.
Buffalo should snuff out the Raiders. The Buffalo front four is the best in the NFL as a group and should handle the Raiders. The Buffalo Offense though is flat out scary bad when it comes to making a wager. I gotta pass.
Oh, and I'll take a flyer on Arizona in the desert +8; The latest QB Version 3.0 has been in Arizona for 5 weeks. Arizona HC Arains remarked Ryan Lindley was starting, even if Stanton could go. He had been on the team prior to this as well. 5 weeks . . . ya think maybe they have a offensive game plan that's been designed for him? I sure do, but you have to execute against Seattle's superb defense. The defense gives them a genuine chance to win outright.
I personally also like Minnesota +6. I liked them a lot more when they were +7
Good Luck to all.
