A solid week; the Cowboys' win outright at Seattle as 8 1/2 point dogs was an easy cash, as was the Giants-Eagles under. The NFC East matchup didn't go exactly as I had planned, but made for a very, very easy under. My third play of the week was a loser... the TD scored with :03 left sent the total over in the Green Bay - Miami game. I'll take 2-1 any week, which gets me a little closer to .500.
The biggest play of the weekend was a late pick-six, and it cost the sportsbooks BIG. They took all sorts of action on Denver, even having moved the line up to -10. But Geno Smith came through for the public, tossing an INT to Aqib Talib who ran it back to the house for the back-door cover. Crazy. That play cost Vegas some serious coin. The late INT return in the Washington - Arizona game also gave the Cards the cover, though that game was not nearly as heavily bet as the Denver game.
The Colts were again big winners, now 4-0 SU and ATS in their last four. Three of those were divisional games, too, so that's a pretty interesting stat (or maybe it just indicates how terrible the other teams in the AFC South are right now). The Raiders got the cover against San Diego and had chances to win that game several times.
I was very curious to see the Monday Night game this past week. The 49ers as 3 1/2 point favorites against a team starting their last (and very green) QB seemed like a no-brainer. Since Vegas didn't move the line too much, I had a hunch that they were making a play, but didn't go in with them on it-- I just couldn't imagine a situation where the 49ers didn't win it handily. I was kicking myself for not making the situational play on this game during the first quarter, when Austin Davis looked crisp and the Rams were making plays. Tale of two halves, for sure. I think Vegas lost some money on this game too.
