Oh.  Here I was thinking it's gambler lingo.  Instead, it's just gambler lingo.

House money so put $50 -9.5 psu

Am I missing something or taking the Chargers -1.5 vs the Birds a gimme? I know the chargers haven't been plying well and the Birds resembled an nfl level team last week but I have no faith in Sirriani or Hurts and the Chargers skill positions are far superior.

Yep. The line is stinky if you're a Sparty backer.

I went against that same thing in the Wake UNC game. Ranked undefeated Demon Deacs catching points to unranked home Tarheels? Not making sense. But I still rode WF.

SD - the chargers are without their starting corners and they don't stop the run well. Line is moving in the Eagles favor despite the majority of the tickets and money being on the Bolts. That, to me and the way I bet, means take the Eagles.

[PhillyPhreak54]

UNC covering and Purdue so far shows that when everyone is loaded up on one side and the line don't make sense you follow that line. Those bookmakers know what they're doing most of the time.

I just have to be better at trusting what the reads say.

the biggest lock of all time might be SF today

[PhillyPhreak54]

Wouldn't say one of the biggest ever but it's pretty high up there as a play

Cleveland looks right too

[SD]

What if Murray plays? Why is SF such a lock at +4.5?

Why so high on the Browns?

Birds line moved to +1

[PhillyPhreak54]

Browns appeal? The line. On the surface they're in shambles. Mayfield shoulder injury. Received issues and they dumped OBJ. How could they keep up with the high powered Bengals? You'd think Cincy should be favored by more. The line opened -3 bengals which is what they get for home field. So the oddsmakers say these teams are even.

And for me I see people have been pouring money and bets on the Bengals yet rather than the line go up to say -3.5 or -4 it's has gone the other way. That's a key indicator for me.

As for SF/Zona yes even if Murray plays I'd be on SF.

Chargers opened -3 and like 90% of the bets and close to the same percentage of money is on them. But like CLE that line should, based on that, move towards LAC. But no, it's moved to -1/PK. So I'll be taking the Eagles.

Put $50 On SF -4.5. Still playing with house money
