Before we look at Week 9, let’s recap Week 7 and see how our Week 8 bets are doing –
Week 7 Results
Houston vs. Seattle (-2.5, Total 42.5)
The Bet: Seattle Seahawks -2.5
Indianapolis +7.5 / Dallas +8.5 Teaser
Nice to have a sweep in both CLV and the final results!
Record: 6-5
CLV: 10-1
Week 8 Check-In
The Bet: Green Bay Packers -3
Right now, we are still sitting at Pack -3 and that is still the side I like. The line is trending to -3.5, so this may be the last chance to get a flat 3 in.
The Bet: Houston Texans -2
We are likely going to get the worst of it here. The Texans lost Nico Collins this week and the 49ers won.
Week 9 Early Bets
Indianapolis (-1.5, Total 49.5) vs. Pittsburgh
This is another number that I just cannot get to, I’m realizing that I am probably low on the Steelers, but they were exposed on Thursday against the Bengals, and I think the same will happen against the Packers this week.
The Colts are now squarely in the top 3 offenses in the NFL, and this won’t change this week in a soft spot. They should cut up the Steelers D.
Let’s lay it with the Colts on a number that should be on the other side of 3.
The Bet: Indianapolis Colts -1.5
Carolina vs. Green Bay (-10.5, Total 44.5)
In a game with a big spread, let’s look to the under here. We’ve seen Green Bay not run it up in spots like these, and this Panthers defense has been much better this year than last. I do not think this is a big difference in the total between either Young or Dalton.
We have seen the Panthers look to grind out games on the ground, and the Packers have lacked the explosive passing plays they were converting on early in the season.
I’ve got this number closer to 42, so let’s get in now before the dip comes.
The Bet: Under 44.5
