Should we jump on the under!?

I'm kind of the opinion that you take the under anyways. I liken it to playing poker. If that bet is likely to win more often than it loses, you should probably take it.

I'm crazy...I'll take the over in that game. I'm thinking that is a 35-28 game as a minimum. Maybe if Green Bay was a bit more consistent with their defense, but with how New England has been rolling on offence and Green Bay has been at home, I have to go over.

So I also added the Cardinals to last week's slate, which didn't turn out so well. 4-3-1 last week and now 40-28-2 for the season.

This week I have:

DET -7
DEN -1
IND -8.5
BAL -6.5
NO +3.5
TB +4
ARI -1.5
GB -3

Added MIA -6.5 on Monday night, which didn't work out but, I'll happily take a 5-3 week. 45-31-2 for the year. This week I have:

ATL +11.5
PHI -2
SD +3.5
MIA -3
TEN ML
MIN -5.5
ARI ML
