Imagine if you will a team that has dominated the cellar of the NFL for 16 games; just week after week of stellar performances with a couple of minor blips in between where the Houston Texans (+2.5)
, possibly by accident, won a couple of games.
Now imagine that same team but with one game left to go until they can claim what is rightfully theirs. But then you see another team going fast and the furious toward the first overall pick in the draft. And they are jettisoning any potential talent, either by keeping them off the field or having Justin Fields throw to them, to try and secure what is rightfully ours.
