Week 13 NFL Lines

The Daily Fantasy Minute:  Where DFS advice is always free!

I reference the NFL lines quite a bit.  I thought it would be a good idea to simply have them accessible in one location.  I pulled them from DonBest.com.

Some things that stick out to me when looking at the lines.

1.  The KC/Oakland total is sitting at 44.  When Justin Houston did not play for the chiefs last week, their defense looked entirely different.  The game turned into a bit of a shoot out where the Chiefs had kept their previous five opponents to 10 points or less.

2.  Pittsburgh -7.  The Steelers continue to prove they want and will score points in bunches.  We know Roethlisberger has it in him but what about Matt Hasselbeck?  If the game hits tilt, can Hasselbeck respond?  I am not so sure.  The game opened at 47 and is now 49.  The Steelers will score, I don't think Hasselbeck and company can hang with them.

3.  New England -9.5.  I am not sure the Eagles have any fight left in them.  It sure does not feel like Chip Kelly is going to be around too much longer.  The Patriots haven't lost back to back games since 2012.  That is 56 games where they have not lost two straight games.  Those are the kind of numbers that are hard to fathom.  I think this one gets out of hand.

4.  Arizona -5.5.  I know it is a divisional game and the Cardinals are on the road, but sometimes you just take the better team.  The Cardinals are a MUCH better team.  Nick Foles is a disaster at quarterback and the Cardinals secondary is VERY opportunistic.  Tyrann Mathieu is playing like he wants DPOY honors and Patrick Peterson is playing like one of the best DB's in the league.  The Cardinals may have a double digit victory in them.

5.  The Bengals opened -7, the line is now -9.5.  What that says is, Vegas can not raise the number high enough for people to stop betting Cincinnati.  Another divisional road favorite that is usually a no-no but again, good team/bad team.

6.  Here we go again, another road favorite in a divisional game.  Denver is only giving San Diego four points.  Something is fishy here.  All these road teams won't win against their divisional foes will they?  It could happen.  Denver is coming off a strong win against the previously undefeated Patriots...in New England.  Everything points to Denver here which is why there is a fish stench in the air.

Highest Total: Carolina/New Orleans 50

Lowest Total: Seattle/Minnesota 41.5 & Houston/Buffalo 41.5
