On the Dallas game, do not lay -7. The rest it's ok to miss by 1/2 a point.
I like Tampa Bay +5.5 over Chicago.
Chicago is 7-2, and the #1 team in the American conference. Tampa Bay is only 3-5. Is +5.5 points enough?
Chicago has had one of the easiest schedules this year. In its 7 wins, only 1 was against a team with a winning record. Tampa Bay is better than its record indicates, playing a tougher schedule, and losing 2 very close games.
Then, look closely at the "luck" factor. Tampa Bay has been brutalized by fumbles, with a net -0.7 fumbles per game. Fumbles are almost completely random (unlike interceptions, which are very correlated to offenses, and somewhat related to defenses). Chicago is slightly on the plus side. This one factor alone accounts for close to a 4-point error in the "expected line".
I think the books got this one wrong, so I'm on Tampa Bay +5.5 at home.
Good luck Justin.![]()
if arena football ever went on strike, most people wouldn't even know or care.

Cha-ching! My best bets are now at 6-2 (and I only promised 55% on them!)
There were 5.5s a long time after I posted...
For those that don't line shop, you reap what you sow.
