Have Lions over 5 and Packers over 10 in my season wins totals. Both are favored so I can easily hedge my way off of either bet if I want to. Vikings are +155 against the Lions. Bears are +350 against the Pack. Packers bet I'm playing for a push if I let it ride. Thoughts?
Chi is something like 2-60 after scoring 40+ points in back to back games. Detroit sucks, so that is a tough hedge. If the Pack lose, do you push? did i read that right?
No, if the Pack lose I lose my bet. I need them to win to get a push. With the Lions I push if they lose and win if win. I'm assuming based on the Packers/Bears line that the Bears are expected to rest starters? Obviously if they are going to do that it's probably not worth it to hedge but I haven't read up too much on tomorrows games yet.
GB -9 is one of my biggest plays of the year. Honestly, it depends on how much you stand to lose. If it was a unit or two, I let each ride....
I realize Green Bay would be favored even if the Bears were giving full effort and trying to win this game but has it been confirmed anywhere that the Bears are going to tank it?
Nah I decided to let it roll. I couldn't imagine the Packers laying an egg against the Bears although after watching it I probably should have. I was a little worried about trusting the Lions but I figured Joe Webb starting and the Vikes coming off a Tuesday night road game and having to go back on the road was a good team to bet against. The fact that I liked almost nothing on today's card played a role as well since I figured I might as well let these ride since I was only placing 2 or 3 bets on all the week 17 games as it is.
