    Does this middle have any value?
    Local is offering JAX @ +20, while online I can get SEA @ -18. Is there any value in going fo the middle, or would it be a waste of juice on the loser. Also, If the line on SEA managed to come down to -17 would it then be worth it?

    Thanks

    check out % of times a game ends up on 19. Seems like a pretty random number to me

      You get half of 18 and 20 and all of 19. You can do it yourself from there. Dont have the numbers in front of me but I'd say no.

          About a 1.1% chance of winning both sides; a little less than a 6% chance of getting a middle or a side. So not much value at all.

            At -110 on each side it is not worth it. -17/+20 is probably slightly -ev.
            -16.5/+20 should be +ev.

                  Interesting middle.

                  Jags have not scored a TD this season. Lets assume they manage to put up only 9 points in this matchup which I could easily see happening.

                  Seattle scores 4 TD's and she hits.

                  28-9

                    Odds are -110 for both bets? If yes, then no value.

                    But something like that would be worth of it, Jax +20 @ +100 and Sea -18 @ -102
