If you haven't looked at the point spreads for this week's NFL games, how close can you come?

It’s worth noting that Vegas gets these things right at least as often as they get them wrong, and that the public, or “square” money is apparently pouring in on Tampa, so there’s a chance that the line is being pulled therefore in the wrong direction, and the Bucs are actually overvalued here. I’m picking Tampa this week, but IMO the 49ers are far from a sucker bet.

You are in competition with other bettors just as much as you are with the oddsmakers (vigorishes aside)-if you can find a game where the public has unreasonably favored one team, you might be able to make money by going the other way.
