    I thought about that, but it's only +200, and the +5.5 is a nice cushion in case the Bills pull out a last second FG or something. I think at +350ish I'd be all over Jets ML. I also don't trust Trent Edwards to take over a game at this point, and that's what he's going to have to do since the Jets are a top 5 run D and Lynch will go no where. I especially like Favre against the Bills D. Thinking ballpark 3TD 1 INT, 350+ yards passing

    You've seen the Jets play the last 2 weeks? Also, you know David Harris is probably out?

    They'll be fine so long as Kris Jenkins plays. The Jets have been pretty bad the last 2 weeks but even with an incompetent CS it's unlikely they'll make it 3 in a row. What it boils down to in my opinion is Favre vs Edwards. With neither side being really able to run in this game, I really like Favre AND the 5.5 points. Jauron just got a contract extension(let up alert?) and hasn't had a history of having his teams ready to play coming off a road loss. The Bills are overrated and the Jets are underrated. I wouldn't call it a lock, but I really like them here

    I like the Titans -4 against the Packers. Titans are at home and after that come from behind win have even more confidence. They should win by 6, 23-17

    I hope you're right, but I don't think you understand how big of an impact Harris has out there.

    Where did you find Titans -4? All my books opened at -5 to -5.5 and it hasn't moved. Hope you got it in at -4 when you saw it lol

    Just curious.. why Denver? Cutler and Marshall scare me but if I was them I'd be more worried about facing Ronnie Brown and Ricky when you are the worst run defense in the league. That and Champ is out. If we establish the run early, which I think we'll easily be able to do, Chad will absolutely hose them with the PA. They'll light up our secondary but we'll run it down their throats, which all means we're playing a less turnover-prone offense while dominating the clock.

    Only other factor is of course Shannahan has a history of having his teams ready to play when given 2 weeks to prepare for it. And the game is in Mile High. But I'll look past that lol

    My tickets are printed as MNF is being played, and distributed tuesday. So the extremely early lines are what I get. Sometimes I get gems like these, other times I might see 2 added pts to a spread because it went down on thursday. I get a break more than not with these tickets though. its good times.

    The teams that are playing MNF usually aren't on the ticket though. I only get about 12 games to choose from, plus college and NFL over/under.
