KC vs Indy-SPread moving in the Chiefs favor. More money coming on the colts to cover the spread, but chiefs to win straight up

Dallas vs LA-Line is steady in favor of LA.MOney coming in for Rams to cover the spread. more money coming in on Dallas to win straight up(due to the bigger odds and payoff)

Chargers vs NE- Line moving slightly in chargers favor. Money coming in both for the chargers to cover and win straight up.

Philly vs NO-Line steady in NO favor. Money coming in on the eagles to cover and win straight up.

The money for the eagles and cowboys to win straight up is most likely due to the low payoff moneyline for the saints and Rams, no ones playing it due to a low payoff. More ppl are taking a shot on the straight up underdog win due to the bigger payoff.

Just some interesting tidbits for me

This is all public money this early in the game. Check out which way the sharps move the line about 15 minutes before kickoff on each game and you will have a good indicator of which side against the spread is the correct side to be on.

I come from a country that helped keep you righteous fuckers south of the 49th in booze when you were dumb enough to "prohibit " it.

Legal?

Changes with time.


Hit a nerve much?
I'm not trying to bust your chops. My question was based on your comment "you never gamble"
the question remains.....

Thanks for this info. I am in a high steaks pool where we pick 1 team each week with the spread. If you win you get 20 pts, if you lose, you lose 20 pts, a push is just that. Point totals go up in the playoffs.

We are currently in 1st place by 30 pts.

Curious - if you had to pick one team, who would you take?

Love the Saints -8 and Cowboys +7. I am not touching the afc games.

I hear you man because I watch the betting lines all week long too. I've been doing this a long time and I've never had a losing season in any sport so far. It's not because of what I know, it's because of the great information I get just before game time. Always remember . . . Smart money bets early, smart money bets late, and all of those in between are the ones who take the bait. A few years ago I wrote a four page article for a sports betting magazine with this exact title.

The bait is true. I think sometimes though if early money is stagnant and the public is pushing, its worth monitoring

Absolutely, all betting lines are worth monitoring from the opening line to the closing line but the sharps have already handicapped a given game before the opening line even comes out. Sharps are even good at middling many games, winning both ways, by giving -2.5 early in the week and getting +3.5 later in the week since final scores in NFL games land on the number 3, by far, more than any other number. The numbers 4 and 6 are the next two most frequent numbers that NFL games end on by the way. I do my own handicapping but I don't trust my number nearly as much as I trust the sharp's numbers but if my number agrees with the sharp's number I really step out with a sizable bet which wins most of the time. Crunching numbers is one of my passions.
