First Match

Detroit Lions @ Washington Redskins

The Skins have a tight running game, and increasingly expansive passing game, and a somewhat steady defence. At home they should defeat a struggling Detroit.

We could take them straight-up before the match at 1-2 or wait and see if their price lengthens in the first quarter before backing them.

Second Match

San Diego fancied themselves to go all the way this year which is why this match in the altitude of Denver against a much improved Broncos side is a good test of their ambition.

The bookies have both around evens which tells us this is our must trade game of the weekend. The usual stuff - lay the team that scores first and keep trading as the prices will fluctuate quickly. Don't bother picking a winner, just trade to get profit on both.
