Note #1: Though it's not a 'sure thing' but also like Indi with 20.5 over New England. Usual X-Factor is the Patriots
consistent ability to play just good enough to surprise.
Note #2: Big surprise of the week for me is that CBS Sports Pools has rated Atlanta as a 2.5 favorite over Houston.
Note #3: Previous performance is no guarantee of future results. If you decide to bet the farm on any or all of these
four selections, be sure to set aside enough (just in case Grampy's wrong) funds for taxi fare home.

I'd say you'll go 0-4 there.... maybe 1-3 if you're lucky. Ravens have struggled a bit against teams they should beat easily.
It's not surprising they see Atlanta as the favorites considering the Texans lack of QBs.
My surprise pick is the Lions, an extra 4 days rest might prove crucial... looking forward to that match up.

So my underdog picks -
Lions +9
Denver +2
Titans +3
I too have Detroit +7.5, Denver +.5 and Tenn +1.5. How about picking a fourth dog. Then your list of four
and my op 'Sure Thing Underdog' four can compete for bragging rights for either you or me in Week #13.

Bobby. I think you will lose all four of your picks.
I am not surprised Atlanta is a favorite either considering Houston is starting
their 3rd string QB, who has played slightly more than a half of a football game
in his career which spans 11 games. The Texans can still win, but they are going
to have to rally around the kid offensively, and the defense has zero margin for error.

Hi, Shorty. Never realized the air in the Sports Forum is really fresh air compared with that other unventilated popular forum. How about getting a dog (no pun intended) into the hunt by giving Trev and yours truly your list of four underdogs (with morning lines) for Week #13. Top Prize... Bragging Rights for one week. First game's tonight.

Why does Trevor get +3 with the Titans, when the spread is +1 ?
"So my underdog picks -trev
Lions +9

Gave it thought earlier and concluded that we each made our selections based on fav/dog morning lines available to us at the time from quite different casino sources. With 10OC for example he got +3 while I got +1.5 and you have +1.0. Only fair rule is for each of us to have the option of using our own line or another members line (which is silly since identical picks will be in play with weekly ties the result) or go with a different game fav or dog. If you or trev see a simpler solution, please sing out.
Note: I'm sticking with my four dogs no matter what you guys do.

I want Trev's 3 points. LOL
BTW, was the idea to pick against the spread, or to pick dogs who will beat the spread?
