Did you make these lines up or are they from a sportsbook somewhere?

C'mon I'm not going to just give away money and make up lines on my own.

That's why I asked, seems like a couple of those are way off.

Some of those lines are very interesting.

Lebron Points -1.5
Steelers


Lebron is at about 27 a game, so its whether a Steelers score more than 24 points basically. Arizona's defense has been underrated and considering most games after this long of a layoff are defensive oriented to start off with, I expect the winning team to be somewhere between 21-28 points, I take Lebron on this.

Lebron Points+Assts +12.5

So Lebron's 27+7 here, he will get between 32-40 on most nights, I like the points in superbowl here slightly.



QUOTE
Roethlisberger Completions -2.5
Lebron 1st half pts


The Steelers play better the less he has to pass, assuming they gameplan for it he will probably end up with 15-20 completions at most, but this is a line I'd stay away from.

QUOTE
Santonio Holmes Receptions -0.5
Tayshaun Prince made ft


Have to look up how much Prince goes to the line, which I don't think is much. I have no idea about this one.

QUOTE
Kevin Garnett Pts +6.5
Steelers/Cards 1st half pts


Assuming that the first half will be good defense and most the offense will come in the second half I like KG here. His 19 a game +6.5 means as long as the score is no higher than 13-7 at half I think its a safe bet. Even if its a little higher like 14-10 you have a good shot at winning.

QUOTE
Heath Miller rec yds -6.5
Dwight Howard pts+rebs


I hate tight ends, they either go big or do very little. I'd lean toward Howard here but probably stay away from it.

QUOTE
Steelers/Cards 2Q pts -1.5
Orlando Magic made 3FG


Orlando is putting up a lot of 3;s, but that still only maybe 10-12 a game are made unless they get really hot. I don't like this line at all.

QUOTE
Kevin Durant pts+rebs+asst +3.5
Mitch Berger distance of 1st gross punt


I'm not up on Berger's gross punting differences, no opinion.

QUOTE
Heath Miller receptions -1.5
Newcastle/Sunderland total goals


Again, I don't like TE's so its either an easy win or a huge loss.

Went 8-0. Only if I parlayed.

All of them except the KG bet, b/c he wasn't going to play.
