By Sunday night, it's already time to search for next week's lines. The point of this exercise is to spot one or two spreads that make you stop and say, "Really?"
This week's lineup provides more than one option.
Oakland an underdog at Jacksonville?
Red-hot Buffalo laying only a field goal at Miami?
But the one that "really" stands out is the Sunday night tilt in Arizona. How in the world is Seattle an underdog? Arizona gets to 3-3 after beating the 49ers and Jets, two of the worst teams in football, and now it's back just like that? Don't think so. Let's see how they fare against one of the NFL's elite, a team that's had their number lately (more on that later).
Moral of the story: When looking at the slate of games, try to find one or two lines that you think you have a strong read on.
Underdogs went 8-5-2 last week (with six of them winning to improve to 51-36-4. This looks as if it's going to be another big underdog week against the spread.
