NFL WK12 - Favorite of the week
Favorite of the week, episode 2. In gambling many times people will associate taking the favorite as taking a “square pick”. A square pick by definition is simply taking the most obvious pick in a game not necessarily a favorite but more times than not it lands on the favorites shoulders.
For me there is always a give and take on which favorites from the Orb that I want to highlight in these blogs. I don’t want the favorite of the week to essentially boil down to just take the Kansas City Chiefs to win every week. But here I am, about to tell everyone to take the Chiefs this week at -14.5 pts against the Rams. For very obvious reasons the Rams season is over. Normally I would think that 14.5 pts in any game is too many points but with Cooper Kupp being out; this Chiefs team should win this game by a billion points. If Cooper Kupp was healthy then I would say yes there is a small chance that this Rams team could cover the spread. But nah… Chiefs in an absolute route. This is the type of game where no matter the outcome I can sleep well at night. Even if the Rams somehow cover this spread, I am not willing to take that chance. I will not be that guy who sits there and watches the Chiefs burry this team and honk the red ball on my nose. Clown behavior.
A more low key favorite that I do like this week is the Seattle Seahawks at -3.5 pts against the Raiders. You truly have no idea what Raiders team you are going to get from week to week. They put up 38 points and beat the Texans then they turn around and lay a goose egg to the Saints. I like Geno Smith, Tyler Lockett, and DK Metcalf to handle buisness at home and cover this spread.
