no problem re: the Ravens. Maybe Billick can do something good. ?

now, im none too sophisticated when it comes to those lines your a posting...

please explain the difference between:
TERREL DAVIS * * -2.00 *
JAMAL ANDERSON * * +1.70 Total Rushing Yards

and:
JOHN ELWAY -0.5 EVEN * * *
CHRIS CHANDLER +0.5 -1.20 * * Total TouchDown Passes

why 2 sets of numbers in QB case but not for RBs???

By in large, arent these lines a crapshoot or worse? Guess i need to know how to decipher them before deciding that one...

Are these Vegas props?
My thoughts on these props.

TERREL DAVIS * * -2.00 * ..... NO DOUBT IT WILL BE TD
JAMAL ANDERSON * * +1.70 Total Rushing Yards

JOHN ELWAY -0.5 EVEN * * * ..... LEANING TO ELWAY
CHRIS CHANDLER +0.5 -1.20 * * Total TouchDown Passes

ED McCAFFREY * * EVEN *
TERANCE MATHIS * * -1.20 Most Pass Receptions

DEN BRONCOS -1.55 Team To Score
ATL FALCONS * * +1.35 Longest TouchDown
I AM LEANING ON BRONCOS. I DON'T LIKE THIS BET.

DEN BRONCOS * * -1.35 Team To Kick .... JASON ELAM IS IT
ATL FALCONS * * +1.15 Longest Field Goal

DEN BRONCOS +3.5 -4.50 .... PAYOFF IS TOO LOW
ATL FALCONS -3.5 +3.25 Special Point Spreads ... BET ON THIS IF YOU DON'T LIKE MONEY

DEN BRONCOS -14.5 +2.20 * * * ... TOO MUCH. I THINK -11 IS GOOD BET FOR A +2.20 PAYOFF. IF +3.50 FOR THE -14.5, I TAKE IT.

ATL FLACONS +14.5 -3.00 * * Special Spreads PAYOFF IS TOO LOW. SHOULD BE -2.00

YES * * -2.40 Will There Be A Score In The
NO * * +1.90 Last Two Minute Of The 1st Half
DON'T KNOW THIS ONE. MOST LIKELY YES.

DEN * 30.0 -1.20 * * TAKE THE OVER. IT WILL BE 33-21 OR 38-17
BRONCOS * 30.0 EVEN * Total Points Scored

ATL 23.0 -1.20 * * TAKE THE UNDER
FALCONS * 23.0 EVEN * Total Points Scored
