Yesterday, six of the seven teams that covered as underdogs were catching 5.5 points or more, and three of those teams hit for moneyline bettors as well. So the gambling gods did us a solid by laying out the… Source link

The Seattle Seahawks had to have a backup plan. You don’t just trade a future Hall of Fame quarterback like Russell Wilson and not have the next step mapped out.
