BTW - Down and Out? BTW - Down and Out? After seven weeks, two teams had not tasted victory, Fins and Gals.  There are still two as Riveters stamped the Fins, and LAmbs butted Gals.

Up and In? After seven weeks, two teams had yet to suffer the agony of defeat, Patriots and Niners.  T
here are still two as the Minutemen were gifted 17pts by the Brownies, 3 TO's on 3 consecutive snaps, and Niners tamed the Pantera's.

BYE: ATL, CIN, LAR, NO
OFF BYE: BAL, DAL

Although the line differs on occasion from the links above, try Jeff Sherman's Twitter feed, as the manager of the Westgate Super Book, he might just know a little sumpin.


Amazingly close to what actually went down... way back on May 17, 2019, CG Technology posted opening betting spreads on weeks 1-16.  
Weekly "advance" lines from the Westgate can be found here and here, and weekly look ahead's from Fairway Jay.


For excellent insight, we recommend referring to Case Keefer at the Las Vegas Sun, Jamey Eisenberg at CBS, and the Miami Herald's Greg Cote, as from our experience they might just know a little sumpin, sumpin.
