The PLAY: Seattle Seahawks +4.5 (-110)
Detroit lost one of its best defensive players over the weekend when free safety Tracy Walker unfortunately tore his Achilles. Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a revelation at WR in emerging as Jared Goff’s top target but is dealing with an ankle injury that may keep him out of this one. Star RB DeAndre Swift is also sidelined by an ankle issue, and while Jamaal Williams has been excellent thus far, losing such an accomplished playmaker who is also a receiving threat out of the backfield doesn’t bode well for Detroit’s chances. The Lions are giving up a league-worst 31 points per game but have gotten by because they average 31.7, second-best in the NFL. Without Swift and St. Brown, they simply won’t be as explosive. The Lions also rank last in red zone defense, allowing touchdowns on nearly 91 percent of trips. Seattle has been much better in getting stops when they need them most, ranking 4th in the league in allowing touchdowns on just 38.5 percent of their opponents red zone trips. Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny has been extremely productive and second-round pick Kenneth Walker III, a star at Michigan State, could be an x-factor in a homecoming game. Take the 4.5 points with Seattle.

Consultant Bio
After spending over a decade at VegasInsider.com, Tony Mejia, who has handicapped under the pseudonym Antony Dinero, will continue his career in sports and sports gambling at WagerTalk. A leading handicapper in the industry, Mejia has handicapped most major sports and events and got his start by opening his career as a writer at SportsLine.com, which was then bought by CBS. Mejia handicapped under a pseudonym due to compliance issues but also created Mejia’s Selections, a popular feature projecting scores for most major sports. He landed the national NBA beat for CBS SportsLine from 2005-09, so Mejia took a break from handicapping to handle stories and analysis with more of an emphasis on writing. He moved on to Pro Basketball News as a writer/publisher before taking on more of a full-time role at VegasInsider, providing written analysis and winning multiple titles over the course of the season in NFL, NBA, college football, college basketball, and soccer. The “Antony Dinero” brand is owned and trademarked by Mejia after becoming a consistent winner and top-seller. Mejia writes a weekly column at Gaming Today, a staple in Las Vegas sports betting consulting for decades. He utilizes a combination of making his own lines to open the week, seeking discrepancies, tracking weather, injuries, and line movements to try and secure every advantage before getting in on a ticket. He believes watching is the key to it all, so odds are he’s watching a sport if it’s on regardless of whether it’s the Super Bowl or a mid-week college hoops matchup between Quinnipiac and Iona. Mejia was born in Queens, New York, and roots only for the Yankees, Colombia’s soccer team, and the UCF Knights since he attended the University of Central Florida in Orlando. They won a national championship once, whether you believe it or not. Ride Mejia to make some dinero because he’s always hustling to seek out an edge.
