12/4/21 Best Bet: Denver Broncos +9.5 (-110)

Betting the NFL involves doing uncomfortable things. It’s about taking the points with the Saints against the Cowboys in a primetime game when the Saints have a bunch of injuries. It’s also about fading the public perception. “Andy Reid off a bye!”. We’ve all heard this. Even casual bettors know this axiom. If you give Andy Reid enough time to prepare, he’s like 60%+. Well, I also know that Vic Fangio is a defensive mastermind. That’s why he got the head coaching job in Denver when the rest of the league was hiring offensive guys. He started the 2-high safety coverage that has confounded the Chiefs. The O-rig-O-nator.  This is too many points in a divisional game against a good Denver defense. I’m on the Broncos.
