    NFL week 13 - Contrarian Angles
    NFL week 13- Contrarian Angles

    I'd lay out the parameters as such:
    1) Limit of one pick per week for a given poster.
    2) Totals are fair game.
    3) Quote a current price (vs -110 line or better). Can't just say "Team A".
    4) List a reason WHY you are Fading a team...and why you LIKE the team you're backing. Have to state why you think the play is counter-intuitive and therefore likely to represent value.
    5) Goal of the thread is to identify sides which the public likes. If the public is too high on said side, then contrarian side should have line value.

    That's how I'd describe it. In addition to fading a certain team, the side we're backing often feels like it's a tough bet to make.

    Been a struggle in the 2nd half of the year. Lines are tight, you need a little luck to hit these games.

    Thx to all for contributing. Would be awesome to hit 60%+ for the year-end mark. Easier said than done.

            Ya, Polo. My plan is to continue this thru Week 17.

            Plan to skip week 18, just b/c so many of those games are "dead rubbers." Yes, these games are very tough to read.

                  i will go official on the bucs -3.5 at -110. i feel the line should be -5 even with the bucs struggles.

                    Thank you, Polo! I'll mark you down on the Bucs. Good Luck.

                      Looks like I'm going with the Steelers again even though they are no longer at +1' but a pick now.

                      Watts might not play so I'm withdrawing the Steelers.

                            I was ready to bet +8. # bumped up a tick to +8.5, which feels like a bonus to me.

                            Broncos are 1/10 to the UNDER this year. This screams how one-sided the Broncos are. Tough defense, but awful offense.

                            *Broncos are ranked 32nd in Scoring Offense (14ppg). So, Fantasy FB players can't back Denver.

                            *Tough defense that has been there all year. Bronco DEF keeps the team in the game.

                            +8.5 pt Dog with a Total of 38.5. So, Side is > 20% of the Total.

                            View this as a game where Broncos can hang the #. Ravens' biggest problem has been holding leads. So, I feel like the backdoor is wide-open here.

                            Ravens off another gut-punch loss, coughing up the lead to Jaguars last week. Still can't secure those late leads.

                            Trigger for me is that the media has been taking pot-shots at Wilson this week. FWIW, Hackett and one of the offensive linemen came to Wilson's defense. At least on the surface, looks like guys rowing the boat in the same direction.

                            Lastly, Jackson picked up a hamstring knock in practice. I fully expect him to play. But there's at least a chance he misses.

                              Sue, to your point, I've been frustrated w/ line-moves almost every week. Boy, you gotta be prepared early in the week to get down at the peak #.

                                                          almost all books by 632 pm today had raiders as -1 fav do not see any with raiders +2 at that time, of course doesn't matter because raiders are mushed with sean picking the raiders so good lucks raider backers
