With the exception of the Pats/Chargers game, I think the spreads are a little too large. These are all playoff teams.

We've all seen the following: the favorite has a big lead in the 3rd quarter and goes conservative. More rushes and more three and outs. The defensive secondary plays a few more yards off the receivers to defend against the big play. It may win the game, but it allows the underdog to score some points in the final minutes and beat the spread.

0-4 calls for desperate measures!
