Good morning, everyone.

The Simple Handicap for Thursday, October 7th.

Thank you for making me a part of your morning.

And we are underway with NFL week number five.

The L.A. Rams on the road at the Seattle Seahawks kicking off tonight.

And I have absolutely nothing to talk about when it comes to this game.

I won't be betting it. I won't be

watching it. I'll get the box score. I'll rebuild it. I'll watch the condensed game. That's

enough for me. Wift on the line movement earlier in the week. Glad I don't have a penny on this.

My frustration with Seattle and trying to gauge what they are is enormous.

And I'm convinced that them on both sides of the ball, defense and offense, have major issues.

So I'll be happy to check if that's true.

And that's the case.

Don't want to talk about this game anymore do we have to.

But the Rams, two and a half point favorites, total here, 54.5.

Up from 53.

That 54.5, Pinnacle half point favorites total here, 54.5. Up from 53. That 54.5 pinnacle, bet online, DK, Fanduel, all the major U.S. books, all shaded to the over,

implying that we may ultimately see this go up. This is the second highest total on the board,

which would partially confirm my suspicions about the Seahawks defense, which doesn't take

a magician to tell you that is an issue, but we'll see how big of an issue it is later tonight.

I have said that this game is in Atlanta, yet spoke about this game being in London every day

this week because I'm sort of programmed into my routine.
