Don't lay points unless you're very confident of a peak performance from your team. In this sport, taking favorites has traditionally been swimming upstream. Looks like the water's going to run that way again for a while. In particular, look for situations where favorites may not be as focused as they should. Both Chicago and the NY Giants struggled versus expectations as big favorites last weekend. They were probably looking ahead to this Sunday Night's big TV showdown against each other, a possible NFC championship preview.

It wouldn't be a bad idea now to run through the rest of each team's schedule and circle top priority games. If a team is favored in a game that isn't circled, you may have uncovered a potentially flat performance.
