Before we look at Week 7, let’s recap Week 5 and see how our Week 6 bets are doing.
Week 4 Recap
The Bet: Carolina/New England Under 46.5
The Bet: Seattle Seahawks +2.5
Well, we were way ahead of the market on both games with the Seahawks closing as favorites and the Panthers/Pats total at 42.5. Seattle was in command all game, but made it a sweat late. The Pats are still scoring and the CLV did not matter there.
Record: 3-3
CLV 5-1
Week 5 Check-in
The Bet: Seattle Seahawks -1.5
Collected another CLV trophy with this one closing at Seattle -3.5, but a late turnover sunk the bet with Tampa walking it off with a FG
Record: 3-4
CLV: 6-1
Week 6 Check In
The Bet – Philadelphia/New York Giants Under 43.5
Looks like another we are going to get CLV, the current total is 40.5
The Bet: Tampa Bay Buccaneers -1.5
This reopened at Bucs -3. We should be 2-0 again this week beating the market. Now we just need that to translate to wins.
Houston vs. Seattle (-2.5, Total 42.5)
While I do not love betting against a team coming off a bye, I was surprised this was under 3. I’ve got Seattle as a 4-point favorite in this spot, and barring injury, I would be surprised if I downgraded Seattle a point this week. The Texans’ offense was not fixed last week. It simply played Baltimore.
The Bet: Seattle Seahawks -2.5
Indianapolis Colts +7.5 / Dallas Cowboys +8.5 Teaser
This is our first teaser of the season. Let’s jump on two teams I expect will see some action on their side of these respective lines.
The Colts are in LA to take on the Chargers, who will still be working on figuring out this offensive line. I trust the Indy offense to be able to score, and the defense should face a soft enough offensive line unit to be effective here.
The Cowboys will be expecting to have CeeDee Lamb back in this spot. That should only bolster a very good offense. The Commanders are all kinds of banged up, and while they can win this game, it will be tough to do so by margin.
