if you DOUBLED the spread in the SJ/LV game i still might not want Vegas but not real anxious to lay 17-ish with SJ

Dallass/CO - interesting game: Dal must win to get the #1 seed but a CO win gets them the #5 seed and a game @ LA as opposed to KC - and the next playoff game LA wins will be the first and they are clearly move vulnerable than KC. sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight lean to CO but not enuf to play the Crush
