Week 2's action was particularly brutal in terms of injury, especially at the quarterback position. That makes it a bit difficult to analyze current spreads against the lookahead numbers. We got ahead of the Vikings ' move by tipping them as worth playing at -1.5 last week, and with both backup quarterbacks in the game, the spread is up to -3.
The one major move we nailed was backing the Cowboys as 2.5-point underdogs in Chicago. Even though the line sat under the key number of 3, there was potential for the line to swing heavily toward Dallas if the Bears felt the wrath of a Lions team that was dominated in Week 1 by the Packers . One blowout loss later, and the Cowboys are now favored in Chicago.
We're going to try and get ahead of similar line moves for Week 4 in this space.
