    Are 5dimes good NFL handicappers?

    It seems that 5dimes NFL lines are different than the rest of the industry. My assumption is that they're taking a side, believing that it's more profitable than simply balancing the books. Is that assumption correct?

    Would one do better to bet with them (bet their opinion at another book) or against them (bet the consensus opinion at 5dimes)?

    I think they have different lines to protect against teasers since they offer them at +100

    They are about as sharp as a bag of wet mice.

    It is to protect against teasers. Use the drop down menu, and you will see their lines are uniform with the rest of the board.

    They have unique stuff going on elsewhere though. Not sure it is sharp but certainly unique.
