7-point dogs in NFL-X

7-point dogs in NFL-X Didn't give much thought last week on the Bengals play at +7. Just bet it reasoning the 7 points was extreme for a pre-season game. This week is more like a real game than the rest of preseason but still have to think that with the 3rd and 4th Q crapshoot that 7 is too much in any game. Jax/Philly - Philly may actually move a little more due to Eagle coverage being a popular topic in the media so waiting may be worth it if you can react fast should the line start to drop. I'll be on Jax at +7 or better. Del Rio has never had a losing preseason. (3-1 five times and 2-2 once) and has not had his Jags lose by more than 7 points since 2005 a span of 15 games. Andy Reid has never had a winning full preseason record in his 10 years as HC except for the 2-1 the Eagles went in 2001 when a strike by officials caused problems across the board. If this game does move to 7.5 it becomes a big bet for me. Dallas/SF - I expect to see Hill try to work the passing game early and then the Niners continue to hone their run game with Gore and Coffee. The O-line has been a bright spot thus far and even with a starting T sitting out this week I think they continue to play well and have some success running. I'll play SF at +7.

I know some of the database/teaser players had mentioned that week 3 was the one week where dogs were quite a bit less profitable. I'm not sure how much that carries over to the 7 point range. I lean your way on these plays for now though.

+7.5 everywhere and +8 popping. Thanks frankb, always good to get your opinion. Good Luck

Devil's Advocate Thursday's game at Philadelphia will be the third in 11 games for the Jaguars. "It's a tight turnaround for us,'' coach Jack Del Rio said. "We are going to spread the work around.''

Get those 7s now - they're dropping fast on both games.
