Last week’s pick was to hedge your fandom and take the Lions on the money line at an over 3 to 1 payout. It appears that the Seahawks have broken me as a handicapper over the season, but last week’s performance sure did fix me as a fan. The no-booze pledge also continues on for another week.
Just before kickoff last weekend, a flood of money came in on Seattle pushing the betting line up to 10 points in favor of the Seahawks over the Detroit Lions. There could be a few reasons for this: No precipitation at CenturyLink, Matthew Stafford in warmups with a wonky finger, or Earl Thomas III riling up his comrades before the game.
