There are two games which really jump at me this week and wonder other's opinions.
Raiders -2.5 (-105) @ San Diego - Chargers are playing for nothing and have Gordon out and Bosa hurting and now +2.5 (-115) odds? I mean you talk about the books taking a monster risk? Who is out for Raiders? Is Carr's finger still bothering him that much? I know it bothers him in the cold, but San Diego isn't exactly cold weather... Just a weird line when Raiders are playing for home field and Rivers and company can't wait for the season to end.
Packers -4.5 @ Bears - Look, I read where Rodgers is hurting and a good hit could knock him out of the game easily and he didn't practice much this week, but he's going to play on Sunday with his team's post season on the line. I also know Barkley has looked tough and this is a monster rivalry and 4.5 is a decent number to cover on the road in super cold weather. However, he's a #3 QB with his top 2 WR's out. Thinking of buying Packers to -3 (-150) as ML odds are huge and could see this game being closer than 4.5, but not closer than a FG unless Rodgers gets hurt.
Anyone else notice these 2 games as lines bookmakers will be biting their nails with the action one-sided? Is the smart action taking the home dogs and going against the public? Curious what others are thinking...
